Dragon:
Dragons are very mysterious creatures who often
live alone in caves with hoards of gold. You
keep yourself from others and contain many
armoured plates for defence. However, you will
be kind to others if they are kind to you. You
are very thrifty and rarely waste any money.

@1:50 AM
i just realised how many of our lives have changed course and direction over the years. and how many of my friends and i have chosen to take and lead our lives in a way that we never intended for it to be. how things change and really alter over the years.
All my life, since the day i was eight, i always wanted to be a lawyer, i still want to be a lawyer, but somehow not as much anymore. throughout school,i fought and struggled against everyone who told me that i can never be one. because the genes just dont run in the family. throughout school, i did things that would allow me the better chances to be a lawyer, to get into law school and to fulfill my ambition. for the last 12 years of my life.
when i was in sec three, i once said i would never go to ACJC, why because of the preconceptions that i was taught abt the very school i have came to love so much and so greatly. in sec four, i was determine to go to ACJC. why? cos sec school was really unbearable. i needed to go to a place that was on the opposite spectrum of where i already was. and also because of someone i really admired. Sam Saw. when i was in jc, i aspired to achieve everything that Sam had. Sam graduated the year i entered school. and i worked to be everything that Sam was. Captain of the school team, humans scholar, honours roll, performance arts, psc. in a way i achieved everything sam had just one notch lower. but still i felt satisfaction and it was then that i truly and really realised that grades aint everything.
in jc, i began to question whether i really wanted to be a lawyer. in the beginning of j2, i decided i want to study international relations. i want to be a diplomat, i wanted to work for MFA. i wanted to go boston. and i got boston, but i never went.
during the As, life was bad. why? cos i gave up. i was fighting at home, because i wanted to go and no one would let me. no one understood why i wanted to do what i desired to do. i gave up cos i thought that no one cared and it doesnt matter to anyone at all. i was in depression. i willed myself psychologically not to study, i came to class sat there in a daze from 8 to 5, for days in a row, that was all that i did. sat in class in a daze. not because i did not want to work, cos deep down i know that i wanted to. i couldnt sleep in the nights. i would sleep for two hours and sat in bed crying. sobbing cos i did not want to take my As. i was tired. well then, i killed the As. from the predicted 6 distinctions, i had 1. i killed history totally. from then i let go.
being a lawyer no longer mattered. being a diplomat was of secondary concern. being a scholar was something that vanished totally from my mind. i only had to hang on to what i could have. and now i am somewhere on the way to becoming a teacher. (something i said i would never be)
i know that you think that i should have done better for the last exams. i should really have gotten better grades as compared to what i have. but you know somehow, since the end of the As, i really come to realise that getting good grades no longer matter to me. i want to get them, but i want to do other thing more. and these other things matter more. things like helping the boys winning the championships, helping the ij girls. all these things make me much more happier. i dont mind the Ds and the Cs, cos i know that i have done something that helped someone else and i have touched the lives of some. not all but some. and i know i have gained friends that are extremely valuable. and all these aint done in vain. and so i dont regret. i know i will have to study harder and get better grades in the next year, but sometimes, school is so hard and i have no idea what i am really expected to do and what kind of answers i am suppose to give. my lit is so terrible and i really dread doing lit essays and exams. cos i dont know how to do them. but i guess i will have to hang on. and i guess at the end of the day, i will have to make sure that i get the As that are needed for me. cos i really need them. i need to honours. as a scholar i do. sometimes i am really at a loss and i dont know what to do and so i do what i did in school . dont study and dont do the course, dont go to class and lectures. but instead of wallowing in the misery of my pain and lack of interest in the subject i am made to study, i choose to redirect and refocus my attention to what i am really good at. and do what i want to do and do what i know i am interested in.
and i know, somewhere along the way, in the near future to come, i will change my course and direction. the journey would go another way eventually. but one thing i know. the people i have come to love, the people i have forged such cool and lasting friendships with will never change. all of you will always be part of my life. no matter what happens. i might be cold and grumpy at times, i might sulk and grumble. but at the end of the day i will always care.

it has been a long time since i last blogged. hehe...well i have been helping out at the JCs SYF Drama Central Judging so i have been busy lately. dead tired too...hahah five plays a day.
anyway,just got home i was out with Nalli and later sharm and grace came to meet us. we had fun walking round and laughing at someone's play. anyway, nalli is now a grandmother of HAMSTERS...hahah and we have certified that she is blind and really suck at determining genders. hahaha.....=) oh well.
haha, you know i have been thinking these days (yes, mich thinks about serious things as well. although i laugh and do weird and stupid things all the time around most of you i ponder seriously and i mean seriously.) sometimes we lament about how hard our lives are cos of studying exams and what not. and all my years of waliking down orchard road it never really struck me, how many roadside peddlers and street performers there are. maybe cos we never really see all of them all the time. the last few days, i have been seeing this young man, he doesnt look more than 17 sitting by the underpass to Lido, "begging" for money. and he had a card that said "Family poor. Brother sister not working.please help". then further down was a old lady with long hair selling tissues and then another older lady trying to sell goceries and small accessories. by the escalator to wheellock, there was an old man, selling tissues, his fingers were mere stumps and we really had to buy the tissues from him and he was so nice about it. it is quite disheartening if it is the right word to know that there are still so many people who are there need help but cant or dont know where to get help being stuck in this state. it is really sad and disconcerting. two things. two things
1. we either are doing too little for these people or there aint enough avenues for them to get access to these services and welfare help. this is what prompt me to be a social worker always. (ahem i might be rather evil and bitchy to some people, but i am actually very soft hearted when it comes to people who needs help, desperate extreme help. and i really do what to help them but somehow when it comes to it i feel really helpless and i can only buy their stuff. and it makes me really sad.)
2. we are really pampered and living in a comfortable world. all the worries and troubles we have are nothing compared to them. Most of these peddlers i meet, are either old, handicapped or uneducated such that they cant get a job or find work anywhere. in a way we cant never understand the kind of worries and troubles that they got through. while we sit here and worry about exam grades, DEP (haha teasing lah), which CD to buy, which notebook to get, whether the next debate would be good for us, these people out there are fending for their life and their next meal, we are worrying of things that are trival in comparison.
it is rather ironic and depressing actually, that they are right smack in the middle of town,surrounded by all these people who have the money to spare (well most) but people just dont do a single thing. sighs sighs sighs. i wonder why. we make such a show of giving so much money to people on the television when the actual people who need this money aint getting any. what a gracious society. it is all about the face. it is all about looking good. and standing by the side of the underpass to buy tissues or drop a coin, or buy a pack of biscuits does not look good.
well well well. all that i have said i cant do anything either.
sorry for the long deep and rather serious reflection but
mich is disturbed.i am really in a dilemma

Which Weird Latin Phrase Are You?

this is long overdue man....but i need a breather...after A div finals on Friday, i realised that it has been THREE WHOLE MONTHS of non-stop debating and there is more to come...
people should really believe me when i say that debate is a high stress and high energy sport. seriously all of you out there...it takes a lot of energy okay, we dont just sit there and talk *winks* you know i firmly believe that debaters should not marry each other..they will have terrible monsters for children who would tell their teacher "Why cant i talk, my daddy and mummy did that all the time when they were young and they won prizes for talking and talking and talking. I want to be like that". *zoom in on teacher's scrunched up and pained expression" hahah.....anyway, nalli got annyed with me last night cause i took to talking to her in third person. I like talking in third person, it is fun. anyway, michelle shall recount the events of her life for the last four days.
Friday night:
another AWESOME NIGHT...and mich means AWESOME....mich is so proud of all of them man....CHARLEEN, NALLI, JUDITH, VANESSA and STEPHANIE...you guys were fabulous!!!!! oh...and yes the RI boys too....congrats mich thinks you totally deserve the win and you guys really developed and changed so much over the tournament duration!!! anyway, back to the details.
so mich troops down to ACJC in the morning to get some stuff and then head to town to get errands done...mich had agreed to meet sharm and jolynn in town and to get to SRJC together. but she found herself free for 4 freaking hours before 5 and so she settled down in Mac's at Lucky Plaza and read comics. CHINESE COMICS, yes mich is a comic freak her friends usually stares at her in disbelief when they find the shelves of chinese comics she has at home...and not to mention her school team jerseys...hahaha
so she sat there and read and read and read....then at four she went to collect her tics for SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER(it is unbelievably perfect!!!!) and she went to change into the IJ uni....hahah mich walked round wisma for a while in it....rather amused at the fact she look at least 5 years younger ( i think it helps cause she is so freaking short and she still carries her poseur mambo bags she has from her JC days) then at 5.45, she, sharm and jolynn finally got a cab to SRJC (it was a london cab, they took a london cab to the debate!!!!!!)
when she arrived there, mark lim was just beside her, and he didnt realise that it was her until they were entering the lt...ahah he jumped he really jumped...MARK had a reaction!!! =) anyway, most people had a rather big reaction when they saw her...the RI seniors were like "what is wrong with you!!!!! and you know what!!! you dont look a bit your age at all and you look like one of them that is what that is scary!!!!!!!!" and so Tim (my dearest timmy kor kor, *mich can so hear him gulping in embarassment*) proceeds to tell everyone there, "see there is michelle, can you see her" which many cant....heh heh...(oh the barker boys couldnt recognise her either...it was quite hilarious, when they did..they kinda of gave her a look and proceeded to question her why she wasnt in an AC uniform the previous friday).
michelle shant go into boring details about the detail. FAST FORWARDS TO PRESENTATION.
man, the annoucement for top twenty was SCAAAAAAAARY. we sat there, holding hand and praying that we dont hear Nalli, Judith or Bern's name until much later. (Congrats to all of you!!!! i am so happy that you are in top 20!!!!! Nalli you rock!!!!!!!! Judith tooo!!!!! So do Bern!!!!!! third speakers rock man!!!!see you better believe mich next time) and so the name were read out one by one....and we all got more and more excited. and finally he stopped at top 5. phew....nalli's name wasnt there...and then came the usual blah blah blah.....fifth place.....fourth place.....and third....we went mad....clapping for Nalli....(but the funniest part of the whole night was when Chere was annouced as second and the *mad* RI boys went crazy and cheered....cause Suhas was best speaker of the series.) Charlene, Leigh-Anne and Me were holding each other's hand so tightly as Aaron gave the debrief.....and we went mad again when IJ won third!!!! it was the coolest thing to happen........hehe......
*later on the way out, we shouted at tim across the road "TIMMY KOR KOR!!!!" and he stared at me in bewilderment and said "I think the IJ uniform is really getting to you, mich!!!"
Chere, i am so proud of you too!!! muacks!!!!! my little sweetie pie...remember the flowers you gave me they are in my precious debate box as well!!!!
we trooped to Holland V later for dinner at Swensen's and then to Judith's place for a sleepover. at six in the morning, we left the house and headed to ACJC for the IHL Debate Series...
the motions were killer man....killer.....man and i derived sadistic demand looking at the poor j ones struggling to define and debate these killer motions....
but it was painful.....
i fell asleep in the heads room after the debates ended.....i slept for two whole solid hours....two whole hours and we went for SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER.....it was amazing, fabulous, wonderful, totally perfect!!!!!! the dance sequence was like out of this world!!!.....perfectly out of this world.....
haha....seriously my fat ugly friend we should do this more often man and you still owe me a meal....actually more than one given how much you have reneged on it!!!!!
Sunday:
the second round of interviews for DEP....i shall spare people of embarassment. I have to admit that we are the most evil people around and you guys who turned up would rather try out for American Idol and have Simon Cowell rather than us....
actually i felt your pain too....i really did and the rest who came the week before as well....
so concludes three full days of debates and debate related events......*grumbles grumbles.....suffering from debate burnout*
monday, i am a pig i slept and slept and slept and i went to my teacher's house to do stuff and here i am typing my blog...hahah....time to go and read comics and later to mark essays.....hehe.....
you know what i think i am starting to sound incoherent.....hahaha......*big wide smiles to herself and grins like a mad cheshire cat*
before she goes, mich would like to say, I love all of you out there!!!
Char and Char, Nalli, Leigh - Anne, Chere, Sonia, Val, Judith, Bern, Alessa, Sharm, Jol, Grace
All the silly barker boys!!!! ahh
time to read comics seriously...time to read....

I Just Don't Like To Be Alone
When I see you out of sight
I don't care to feel all right
I just don't like to be alone
When you walk away from me
Leave this man in misery

And when I'm holding you
I find the things you do
when I'm with you
I'm not blue , I'm not blue
When I see you out of sight
I don't care to feel all right
I just don't like to be alone
And when I'm holding you
I find the things you do
when I'm with you
I'm not blue , I'm not blue
When I see you out of sight
I don't care to feel all right
I just don't like to be alone
I just don't like to be alone
I just don't like to be alone
