What the hell?!? The bloody Chinese exam sucked!

And no, it's not because I didn't study; there isn't any stupid syllabus to study for Chinese, anyway!

And all those teachers told us that the mid-year paper would be easier than the March paper... Load of crap.

Crap, who cares.....as long as I get a C5 or better. If I get a C6 again I'll whack my head against the wall coz I just wasted about 30 bucks taking that damn exam for the second time for bloody nothing!!

Damn... Life sucks.

Shall go watch the Matrix Reloaded again today; I need to understand what the Architect told Neo....I think that's the reason why I didn't understand the ending; coz I wasn't paying attention when the scene where Neo and the Architect were talking.

Was rewatching X-Men 2 the other day too.... you know the part where Mystique's on Lady Deathstrike's computer and she brings up a whole list of names and clicks on "Lehnsherr, Eric" (or something like that)?

I spotted a whole lot of other names that I recognise and I think that they'll probably appear in X3; whoopee. :D This calls for another list. :D

Gerri's list of mutants whom she thinks should be appearing in X3:

(Okay, so that was a long title, but who cares.....)

1. Beast
Coz Hank McCoy was on that news broadcast in the bar scene, and well, Hank McCoy is Beast. There's your explanation.

2. Gambit
Well, probably. His name was on that list on the computer. "LeBeau, Remy". Yep. That's it.

3. The Maximoff Twins
Again, probably, but if they do show up in X3 I'll be absolutely happy!! Yes, I'm a Quicksilver fan, I think that Pietro Maximoff (and John Allerdyce :D) is the best thing ever in the X-Men universe. Haha. This was on that computer list too: further down...kinda near the bottom of the screen: "Maximoff (2)".

I think that's it. Pyro should be making a comeback!

Man, just imagine....Quicksilver and Pyro on the same screen. Way cool.

Even better if they were on the same screen at the same time. :D

Ah well....have extra lectures tomorow and there's band on Wednesday (Yay!). Must go get a little something for Airine coz her bday's on Thursday!

I'm bored.

There's the Chinese exam tomorrow, but I've never bothered to study for Chinese anyway....

Watched Matrix Reloaded today. Once again, I'm absolutely delighted that I'm able to understand it. :D

I understand the whole concept of the Agent Smith guy being able to replicate himself. It's something like this; he said that Neo had robbed him of his purpose, right?

And since the Matrix is a machine, everything in it would just be programs; software inside the hardware.

Without a purpose, "Agent Smith" becomes an incomplete program; a rogue program, a computer worm.

So said rogue program goes around corrupting functioning programs.

Put that into visual terms and you get an Agent Smith that simply appears to duplicate himself.

Ending was kinda confusing tho.

I do see the whole twist about how Neo isn't really what they believed him to be; he isn't supposed to bring about the end; he's only a means to an end. But about him bringing down those machines (I think they're called Sentinels? The squid-like ones with lotsa tentacles) near the end....

Does it mean that each new "One" that was created with each new Matrix was meant to be a kinda link between humans and machines? Physically human and capable of human emotion and at the same time, able to understand and connect with machines?

Interesting.

When viewed in that light, Neo becomes more like a cyborg.

Human (flesh and blood) + Machine (metal, plastic, all form of non-biological material) = ??? (Something with emotion but which doesn't completely understand it?)

I love the Matrix movies. Such enjoyable food for thought.

God bless the great men who created it; I know they're two brothers, but their names aren't coming to mind right now. Haha.

Have to go look for Sylvia Fong's present some time soon. Must get something for Airine and John too.

Too many people's birthdays in June!:P

Well, didn't come back for night study last night coz couldn't find anyone who wanted to come back.

Stayed home instead; watched "Agent Cody Banks", it really was pretty funny. :D

No RWS today, so I'm gonna go home and watch "Matrix Reloaded" and then get some study done.

Maybe after about 2 hours of study, I'll think about what to make for my fellow trainees for band investiture...yeah, I've already started on something; that's how far ahead I've thought about it!

Don't have much to type. Maybe I'll be back after school.

Woohoo.....last day of school today!!!!!

Bored.

Geog extra class has been cancelled today so I can go home at 3.50 and have two hours to think about whether or not I want to come back for night study.

Could ask John if he wants to study with me. In effect, that means he'll be teaching me as well.....

Let's see:

I could ask Matthew Yeo if he wants to study Lit with me. But Lit isn't a subject made for group study, and besides, he'd probably come for night study with Zuo Zhuo. I don't wanna be a lamp post.

I could ask John to study with me (teach me) Econs, but I don't feel like studying Econs since that test is over.

Could ask John to teach me Maths... Nah. Don't feel like Maths today.

Pam?

No, Pam doesn't come back for night study.

Could ask.....

Edison.

Yeah, that's it. :)

Ask Edison if he wants to study Geog or something tonight.

Okay....will do so later.

My life seems to have gone back into limbo. Again.

Or maybe that's just because it's early in the morning, so in effect, I'm kinda braindead.

I could stick a sign on my head that says: "No brain till 11.00 AM".

I'll probably come back later in the day....after school...I might have something interesting to say (write/type) then.

Tuesday. By right, there's double period PE at the end of today, but since I'm from the A girls group, I finished my NAPFA three weeks ago and have been doing nothing but slacking during double periods for the past three weeks!! Haha.

Actually, we're supposed to play games during the double period but heck, we just don't care...

I still think that a MUCH better alternative to playing games would be to let us go home early!!

And that's gonna happen today. :D

No PE, and I have a free period before the PE double period, which means that I get to go home three periods early! Leaving school at 3.10 instead of 5.10! Woohoo!

Got Pam her new bag, new slippers and new waterbottle yesterday. Man, it was like a shopping spree!

We spent about half an hour in the Quiksilver shop debating on whether or not she should get that bag that she liked, coz when she saw it yesterday, she just realised that when she carried it, it was pretty high up on her back... Pam has a theory that only Science students carry their bags that high. *cough*Wai Lun*cough*

She didn't want to look Science-y, so I kept telling her that it didn't look that bad, which really, it didn't.

And in the end, guess what?

We flipped a coin to decided whether or not she should buy it, and she did. :P I think the people in the store probably thought that we
were spastic. :P

Chinese last night actually wasn't so bad....coz I sat near the back of the LT and was talking to Sandy and Karen and everyone around me the whole time. Haha. Wasn't listening to the boring Chinese teacher at all.

Sandy actually thought that I was a very sociable person coz I was talking to everyone around me!

Ah well....I'm usually antisocial, so I thought that comment was rather strange.

I repeat: I thought the comment was strange. Not Sandy.

Have to stop my inclination towards badmouthing people. I still think "badmouthing" is a bit extreme...I don't really badmouth people, I just make negative comments about them!

Well, they're not really all that negative....more in a joking kinda way.

I'm starting to not make sense, so let's move onto another topic.

I got 57% for my recent Chinese mock test! That's a B4! Yay!

And I passed last week's Econs DRQ. Another yay.

Yesterday's Econs MCQ test was okay too....and right now, I have way too much stuff to do this week.

Lit essay is due tomorrow...actually, that's an extension; it was actually due today. :s

Geog essay for extra class is due on Thursday too....help! Still haven't discussed with Amos what we're gonna write for the damn thing! Haven't even done the presentation thing yet! Damn!! I'm in deep shit!

And that Lit thing we're supposed to do for Sylvia Plath....I have an analysis to do on "images of colour and landscape" to do on 13 poems.

Shit.

Crap.

Somebody save me!! I'm drowning in homework!

Chinese class again tonight. Suddenly it doesn't seem that bad....I get to talk to all those people that I know and get to know them
better! How fun. :D

Ah well. Don't have anything else to type.

Bye. Going to have a look at Pam's blog now. Maybe she's written something egg-citing about yesterday's "shopping spree". Maybe she's even written something about me, since I was with her! Haha.....

Have just come from a GP tutorial. Single period. Thank whatever gods are listening.

Miss Fernandez is damn pissed at my class.....long story that started way back on Saturday; not gonna bother explaining coz it's just too long. I can't imagine how the hell we're gonna live through Thursday's and Friday's double periods.

Am going out with Pam to get her new bag after school....that's the only thing that I'm looking forward to right now.

And speaking of Pam.....I saw last night (more like early this morning, actually) that Pam has a list of her cute little boys on her blog.

So...here's mine:

Gerri's list of cute boys:

1. My special someone
Ha. Did you actually think that you were going to get a name??

2. Wai Lun!
Yes, I agree, he does look very adorable and small when he tucks out his shirt and wears his glasses and doesn't spike his hair up! Haha.

3. Matthew
No, not Matthew Yeo, I mean the other Matthew; the one in the trombone section...Ah heck; I forgot his surname. Anyway, for him, it's the same thing as Wai Lun...actually, he'd look more like a little boy if he wasn't so tall! Haha....
Oh, I remember! Matthew Ong! Yeah, that's it.....

4. Edison
Another adorable little boy. Actually, that sounds wrong coz he's a year older than me and taller! But really, he looks like such an adorable little thing.... :P That and the fact that about 9 girls in school have told him that he looks like Clay Aiken. Haha. I do agree, though. :D

And that's it, really. Yes, I'm a strange person. I might add more to the list later on.....

Hey, I've just mentioned someone from my class (Edison)! My effort to mention people outside of band is working!

Sometimes I wonder what it feels like for him, being the only guy in a class of girls.... He runs a lot of errands and stuff and does a lot of things for the class, all the stuff that most of the girls won't do.

And sometimes I just feel so bad for being female.

He's another really nice person; a bit like Wai Lun, I think, in the sense that they both take cracks about them being gay quite lightly; I guess you could say that they're both really good sports.

Err....no, they're not gay, by the way.

(Hey, that rhymed.)

Although in Edison's case....he does have some facial features that make him look more pretty than handsome, but I guess you could just say that he's good looking!

Ah well. My train of thought has derailed.

So, anyway, here's to all my cute little boys, and to all the nice people out there in the world. :D

I can't stay back on Monday now.....

All my plans ruined coz of that stupid intensive Chinese class from 7-9 pm...... Damn, I hate Chinese.

And I was starting to look forward to night study too. Although I do feel bad about dragging John all the way back to school to unofficially give me Econs tuition. :P

Man, night study makes me feel so good about myself for once!! I feel so...hardworking and useful. Like I'm actually doing something worthwhile with my life. :P

And John won't give me the address of his blog. He claims that it's dead (ie: it hasn't been updated in a long time......), hence he won't give me the address. Oh well.

I just looked back at all my previous entries (yes, there aren't that many, I know) and I realised that I've only ever mentioned people from band in this blog; I've never mentioned anyone in my class!

Hm....is calling Julian and Yao Guang nuts considered "badmouthing"? If it is, then I'm sorry that I called you guys insane.... I don't know if they read this, but heck. :P And I'm sorry that I said that Wei Jian has a disturbing way of staring at people! I don't know if he reads this either, but really, it's true...

All right, I'll shut my little foul mouth up now.

Oh yes, I've managed to find all the songs on the soundtrack for Cirque du Soleil's Alegria......Only got three more to download and I'll be able to burn them all onto a CD!!

I just love those songs.....and I loved that particular production of Cirque too!!

Love the Russian Bars performance although I still find it very painful whenever I see Ivan on the tape! Imagine breaking your lower leg in three different places after falling from a height of about 3+ metres...

The lower leg isn't even long enough for anyone to break it in that many places!!

Ah well. Everyone loves Ivan anyway. He's such a source of inspiration to all the Russian Bars performers. His mere presence would remind anyone of what happens if you fall off the Bars during a performance...............

I've just realised that I've mentioned someone outside of band now!!
