• Wow, I actually went to watch a movie… What’s more, I actually asked to go and watch it! (That’s so NOT like me)
  I watched “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”… I like the song at the beginning, especially the part where it goes “If I could have one last wish I want a fish” or something like that… The dolphins were cute, now I know why Leeann likes dolphins so much… What’s more, there are mice in the movie! YAY for mice! The movie was so different from the book… It’s easy to spot the differences when you actually chose to read the book and watch the movie…
• Biology camp tomorrow! Oh no! Knowing some of my friends, I think I’ll get lots of comments saying that I’m lucky to get to go to camp (well may be not since they won’t have time for that right now), but it’s not what they might think… Just the packing is enough trouble, but at least I’ve done that… Knowing me, I won’t be able to sleep properly tonight, and I’ll be really tired tomorrow… Not to mention that the way I pack things I’ll end up having too much to carry around… See? I’m not even there yet and I can already imagine what will go wrong…
• Wow, what did I just type? It seems like I’m getting more and more miserable… That said, if I look back at what I wrote before, I’ve always wrote lots of depressing things (especially in my songs…) even though I know I’m not like that… Actually, I think I started thinking much more negatively ever since I started at school here… Don’t get me wrong, this school isn’t that bad, at least it’s better than my last school… Or is it? May be I’m just saying that because I don’t know the school’s nasty things yet… This school has reminded me of a lot of the bad things that happened about three years ago, not because the same thing is happening again, but because it’s so different here, and also because it shows me what I shouldn’t have done, which is pretty much everything that I did… There I go again, regretting everything… Well, one thing that I definitely don’t regret is coming here… Will I be able to say that in three years? I know I won’t be surprised if I can’t…

Oh well, everyone will find out in two weeks… It’s not such a big deal… Those who heard the secret from me agreed not to tell anyone else anyway… Well, I hope they’re better at keeping secrets than me… I only told the secret because I needed it to explain something anyway…

• Back to school tomorrow! This time, I’m not as enthusiastic to go back to school as I was last term… Typical of me to be seem interested at school during the first term each year, only for the excitement to disappear quickly, sometimes even before the first term ends… Last term was special because I changed schools after attending SIS for 4 years and a term… That’s the longest I’ve been at a school for… Just the novelty of being at a different school probably gave me enough enthusiasm to last the whole term… This time, may be it is different… Will I be able to keep this up? Only time will tell…

• YAY I managed to guess my ICQ password! I’ve lost it almost 3 years ago…
• I made custom search plugins for Firefox! I wonder why there isn’t a Chinese traditional to English Babelfish plugin on mozdev… Well, at least I can edit the other ones to make it do that… The one that searches Behindthename.com isn’t really that useful, but I made it anyway…

• What is it with the newest version of MSN messenger? It works for everyone else, but not on my computer… Top sign that I have too much custom settings and weird stuff installed? It’s not like there are viruses or spyware either…

• 
  ↑ “Users who like Frickin’ A also enjoy Frickin’ A”? Duh! Seriously, anyone who likes Frickin’ A and has an account on SongMeanings.net should add them as a favourite… Their fan list is just pathetic…
• Wow, I spent so much time on SongMeanings.net… I submitted more songs today… They actually accepted Les Horribles Cernettes in their artist listing, whereas LetsSingIt.com didn’t accept them, and I submitted that two weeks ago… Of course, I’m the only one who’s submitted anything for them, and all 9 of their songs that I know of are pending…

• 
  ↑ Aww… I’d expect Frickin’ A to be more popular than that! (click to enlarge)

  Wow, I submitted 95 songs to SongMeaning.net today… 34 by Jill Sobule, 11 by Frickin’ A, and 50 by Fool’s Garden… I must’ve made the moderators very busy…

Happy birthday to Ashley, Joyce, and Lorraine!

Wow, I actually know three people who have the same birthday! (not all in the same year though) One in San Jose, one in Sydney, and one in Hong Kong… Yay for knowing people in different places! That said, for someone whose best friend lives on the other side of the Earth (and NOT because one of us has moved), I don’t even know that many people…

It’s been a term already… There’s so much that happened in this term, I can’t even say that I’m “just like Lemon Tree (nothing ever happens)” any more… It is the challenges at this school that helped me realise what I’ve done before, now I wonder how could I have done that to myself… Yes, I regret it, and I felt guilty about it… I won’t let it happen again…

During this term…

• The most difficult subject: maths (What a surprise! I’ve never had to do any maths that’s difficult… Well, at least I finally get the challenge I’ve always wanted…)
• The most repetitive subject: biology (Well, what can I expect? I’ve done both modules of year 11 science at SIS, not to mention that I’ve read books on relevant topics before, even though those were in Chinese and it was at least five years ago… Of course, I’m no one to say anything about repetitiveness anyway, because I did so badly in my biology assessment… At least next term I won’t be saying “looks like it’s last term all over again”, and it’ll be too much of a mouthful to say “it’s the term before the last one all over again” so I won’t say anything…)
• The best assessment: physics (Before I started at this school, Alice was telling me about having to spend the whole day at school doing physics coursework, which was on the same topic… Of course, the marking system is totally different so we can’t really compare…)
• The worst assessment: biology (I did it all wrong because I didn’t know what “report format” meant… Turns out to be just like the coursework format I did before… The most awkward thing being that a teacher actually heard me say “it’s this again” when we were doing worksheets, and then she sees my awful result on the assessment… At least that wasn’t the teacher we normally have…)
• The classes that I’ve blown my whistle in: biology (not with the teacher we normally have though), maths, physics (how it scared the teacher! ), roll call / house time (OK, that’s not a class, but then that’s actually the time where I use my whistle the most often… Sometimes the teacher doesn’t seem to mind, sometimes he does…)

What a term! I’m so glad it’s finally the holidays, even though this holiday won’t be much of a holiday with all the homework and revision… Now I know what it’s like for the others…
