Yayyyy, the school yearbook is out!!! And this is a verryy belated post!!! Unglam pics as usual, but its so nice to review the school year in pictures, because its like, you stumble over every old memory, and it seems like it was just yesterday. Then of course, you start to wish that you were back in that period of time again...I think the saying a picture speaks a thousand words really ought to be changed to a picture whispers a million memories. Sad, I can't believe I just declined not one, but two mun invites, because they are to close to my chinese Os. and it turns out that I am not singing tomorrow as I couldn't make the practice today:( Sorry Jasmine.

I just decided to make this a rainbow post, so...

Wrote a song hoping to submit it for a competition, but cannot submit because
1: it is again too close to the chinese Os
2: i need backup music
3: i have no idea how to reccord and submit
4: would take too much time
5: the submission date is in less than 7 days
6: no guts to get up and sing
Anyone out there who would like to give it a shot?

going to write in my journal before bed:)

Whew, dance was tough today. Musicality sure ain't easy to tackle. But its definitely easier than character. And a whole lot less painful to learn. Instead of the usual 12345678, it was the rhythm. boom tah boom boom tah. Hahas. Who knew music theory would come in handy for dance?Anyway, I'm glad I wasn't late. I totally forgot about the lesson, and at 7.15 I was like"Oh snap! 15 mins to get to dance! I'm late!!!" So I jumped up and ran.

Well, singing again for worship this sunday. Wish me luck. And hope I don't end up facing the ceiling or flat on my face due to sheer nervousness. Was reading Deon's blog and it certainly was food for thought. I think I agree. We're almost 16; time to grow up and take charge. Make changes in our life and take charge. Leave our past behind and keep charging forward. Look toward the future. Oh no I think i've done too much speech writing for english. Even my posting has become speech-like. Oh gosh. Ok, goodbye.

September
Suave and compromising. Careful, cautious and organized. Likes to point out people's mistakes. Likes to criticize. Stubborn. Quiet but able to talk well. Calm and cool. Kind and sympathetic. Concerned and detailed. Loyal but not always honest. Does work well. Very confident. Sensitive. Thinking generous. Good memory. Clever and knowledgeable. Loves to look for information. Must control oneself when criticizing. Able to motivate oneself. Understanding. Fun to be around. Secretive. Loves sports, leisure and traveling. Hardly shows emotions. Tends to bottle up feelings. Very choosy, especially in relationships. Systematic. HAHAS XD

best at everything
you are the social person who make usefull contacts. you introduce important people to influencial people and always reap some sort of reward as a result...but you dont enjoy the spotlight as much. you prefer to stay in the back as there is more room to strech and you like the feeling that you are the one with the power and most of the time that is true... you will do well in almost anyfield you know how to flater without being to obivous and you can make just about anyone like you

I look like hilary duff.Hmm...

what facebook quizzes have to say about me. lols

True sentiments
-Michelle

A ringing echo
a passing storm
before I knew it
the year was gone
I look back now
and mourn my fate
realising I left things
way too late

But the future!
It glares me in the face
I go toward it
in God's grace
I don't know how
I don't know when
Who will I be in 2010?
Where will I be in three-score years?
Will there be someone to calm my fears?

What will my career be?
Will you be you
and I still me?
And as i ponder deep these thoughts
The battle in me
is being fought.

Went blog hopping and found out that i had no idea a lot of people's blogs existed. A lot seem emo... Am i even making sense? because i don't understand what i just typed. Hmm.

To the world you may be one person,
but to one person you may be the world.

- Bill Wilson -

Should i go with the writing or should i take the leap and teach the minds of the future?? It seems like every moment passing is bringing me closer and yet i still don't know what to do. Next stop: Os. What-do-I-Do?!?What-do-I-Do?!?What-do-I-Do?!?(screams and runs around).

What is with me? I think I'm going mad. Poetry composition at 12 in the morning. Rambling on about random things. Screaming at the top of my lungs, with no sound coming out. Crazy much?!

Oh well. Since I am clearly not thinking straight, I'd better bid goodnight. Or rather good morning.

I'm BACK hahas:D and the sec one orientation camp was a success! I feel very fortunate to have gotten to know 1A, a teriffic class i hope to stay in touch with. So cute and so on! Not to mention brill talent, especially in dancing and cheering. Their class bond is strong:) Many thanks too to my fellow OGLs, Jian Huang, Wee Sing and Vince for guiding me, being great friends and support. I'm glad I got to know you guys better too. Now, I just wish that I could go through the camp once more. Too bad this is and will be my first and last sec one orientation camp. BooHoo. Already missing them. Anyway, Stay cooperative ok my beloved 1A? Wootz!

Just Wait

by Russell Kelfer

Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried;
Quietly, patiently, lovingly, God replied.
I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate . . .
And the Master so gently said,"Wait."

"Wait? You say wait?" my indignant reply.
"Lord, I need answers, I need to know why!
"Is your hand shortened? Or have you not heard?
By faith I have asked, and I'm claiming your Word.

My future and all to which I relate,
Hangs in the balance, and you tell me to Wait?"
I'm needing a 'yes,' a go-ahead sign.
Or even a 'no,' to which I'll resign.

You promised, dear Lord, that if we believe,
We need but to ask, and we shall receive.
Lord, I've been asking, and this is my cry:
I'm weary of asking! I need a reply.

Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate,
As my Master replied again, "Wait."
So I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut,
And grumbled to God, "So, I'm waiting . . . for what?"

He seemed then to kneel, and His eyes met with mine . . .
And He tenderly said, "I could give you a sign.
I could shake the heavens and darken the sun.
I could raise the dead and cause mountains to run.

I could give all you seek and pleased you would be.
You'd have what you want, but you wouldn't know Me.
You'd not know the depth of My love for each saint.
You'd not know the power that I give to the faint.

You'd not learn to see through clouds of despair;
You'd not learn to trust just by knowing I'm there.
You'd not know the joy of resting in Me,
When darkness and silence are all you can see.

You'd never experience the fullness of love,
When the peace of My spirit descends like a dove.
You would know that I give, and I save, for a start,
But you'd not know the depth of the beat of My heart.

The glow of My comfort late into the night,
The faith that I give when you walk without sight.
The depth that's beyond getting just what you ask,
From an infinite God who makes what you have last.

You'd never know should your pain quickly flee,
What it means that My grace is sufficient for thee.
Yes, your dearest dreams overnight would come true,
But oh, the loss if I lost what I'm doing in you.

So, be silent, my child, and in time you will see,
That the greatest of gifts is to truly know me.
And though oft My answers seem terribly late,
My most precious answer of all is still "WAIT".

Let love tear down the walls...there is SO MUCH MORE than this.

Going to the body worlds exhibition with my class tomorrow. I think it'll be interesting. But while I'm excited at the prospect of the sec one orientation camp thursday and friday, i'm a little sad that i'll be missing the my last year of learning journey, especially the career conference that i had so looked forward to. Zzz. Today was rough with the math test and all, and i felt that i was walking around under a little grey storm cloud. But a quick lunch with Chun Fang quickly made me feel better. Hehe. Thanks for your support.

Wow we're sec 4. It really seems like it was just yesterday that we were sec ones, stepping into school for the first time; and now we are the ones carrying out the sec one orientation camp. There are so many changes to our class this year> new form teachers, new teachers for a whole lot of subjects, my class split for math and best of all, 3 diff classes together for chinese. 4/5, 4/3 and 4B. Rather odd combi having express and normal together, but it makes the class altogether more interesting and diverse I must say. But though I am not exactly thrilled with my new timetable, I do have a preference for my new teachers this year compared to last. 4/3 has so many classes in so many different classrooms its almost like having the homeroom system in place. During VE Mrs Koh asked us to give ourselves titles and write them on slips of paper so that our classmates could guess who we were. Some ppl were totally obvious, but I had a lot of question marks on my paper. Seems like I don't know my classmates well. I wonder who figured mine out. The results to be revealed on thursday:D

Just out of curiousity, I was wondering how many people actually read this blog and who. If you have read it but haven't tagged before, please tag to satisfy my curiousity, thanks.

The silent chatterbox... muahaha:}

Tutankhamun was buried with mummified food and over 200 pairs of loin cloths!!! That was the Egyptian way of providing their king with undies in the afterlife!! LOLZ XD

People sometimes say or do things they don't really mean. But I thought it through. 4 927 26637538359 466378 66 843 24th. 866 223 843 737766 946 4 926833 86 4327 48 927618 84373. I meant what I said that day. 69 3743637 273 6673 5453 326459 86 63 8426 69 696. I would do anything to keep my friends from getting hurt, even if it means that I don't get what I want. I'm mending the shatter, armed only with a glue stick, but I'll be ok. It sounds stupid, but its worth it. Or at least thats what I have to keep telling myself.

missing the madness!

I wanted to roll on the floor laughing after i read this-
A list of things guys wish girls knew
Posted by Amanda and Shao Kwang on facebook

1. We aren’t all douches.

2. Not all of us are as tough as we make it out to be.

3. We all have a sensitive side, but not all of us will admit to and/or show it.

4. We hate it when you talk badly about yourself. In most cases, it’s not true at all. Especially things like “I’m fat” or “I don’t deserve you.”

5. Just because we don’t say on IM or on a text doesn’t mean we’re ignoring you. Sometimes we’re just being shy.

6. We like compliments, too.

7. We hate it when you won’t tell us why you’re upset or hide your emotions.

8. We hate it when you don’t tell us things.

9. Just because we’re all horny doesn’t mean that sex is all we want or that it is our priority. Most of us are willing to wait.

10. We like girls who trust us.

11. If you’re mad at us, tell us.

12. We almost always mean it when we apologize.

13. We can’t be with you forever.

14. Don’t talk about other guys in front of us unless
you aren’t talking about how much you like them or how cool they are. It makes it seem like you have no interest in dating us.

15. Don’t use cheap excuses like “I don’t date” or anything else, because it’s just stupid and we hate it.

16. We like hugs too, just not from other guys.

17. Clingy girls are often something we don’t like.

18. If you want to ask us something, ask.

19. We appreciate girls who like us for who we are.

20. Just because we’re a nerd or geek or whatever, doesn’t mean we aren’t human.

21. We don’t always see your hints.

22. Don’t get mad at us for what we find funny, we may not believe it.

23. Not all guys want the girl to be the stay at home mom.

24. Don’t exercise until you have no breasts, or tell us all about how you ate 4 calories in the last week. It's disgusting.

25. Taking it slow isn't a bad thing, but it tends to be a good idea to cut to the chase.

26. We don’t all like sluts.

27. Don’t bitch about our friends to us unless they did something really bad to you. Just because they may be a dick doesn’t mean they are to everyone. But we will talk to them for you.

28. We can love too.

29. NEVER.CHEAT.

30. Fights will happen. So don’t fear them.

31. The majority of us don’t use girls.

32. We may be teases, but please don’t take it too
seriously.

33. Don’t make us your life’s priority if you are thinking about it, because when it all crashes down, you’ll be left with nothing.

34. Just because most guys like porn doesn’t mean we all do.

35. Just because some guys think lesbians and bisexuals are really hot doesn’t mean we all do.

36. If we make racist/sexist jokes, it’s our problem, not yours. So don’t try to change it.

37. Don’t be bossy.

38. We can’t always buy you stuff.

39. Just because we fight a lot doesn’t mean we want to.

40. Don’t try to change us.

41. Some guys won’t say I love you right away
because we’re shy and unsure what you will think.

42. If you don’t like that we play video games, own weapons, watch violent movies, etcetera, don’t date us.

43. Don’t worry about us too much. We can handle ourselves.

44. NEVER, I repeat, NEVER tell people embarrassing stories about us or secrets.

45. If we dump you don’t go and tell all your friends that we’re assholes. We don’t do that when you dump us. Not everything can last forever.

46. We absolutely hate it when you won’t leave us alone after a breakup.

47. Sometimes what you want isn’t so obvious to us, so if we don’t get the picture, tell us. We’d rather you tell us than you be unhappy.

48. A lot of guys are really nice people if you get to know them, don't judge a book by its cover.

49. Some guys are dicks to you even if they like you. It’s normal, don’t think much of it.

50. Never propose to us or ask us out. It's extremely awkward.

51. If we tell you to stop something, stop it or it may lead to us dumping you.

52. Don’t have high expectations.

53. Don’t be a poser emo/scene kid or poser gangster.

54. If you’re upset, we really appreciate you contacting us.

55. Guys can be pretty romantic given the moment or the guy.

56. Guys will talk about their ex’s sometimes, don’t think much of it.

57. Guys don’t always like boob jobs. If we want you to get one, we’ll tell you.

58. Be honest with us, if we truly love you, we’ll accept you for who you are, not matter what.

59. Don’t talk about Edward Cullen or Jacob Black around us unless we like the Twilight series, too.

60. We’re disgusting, we burp, fart, and swear, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be polite around you.

61. If we’re dating you, don’t whine about how we aren’t doing enough if you haven’t told us what you want.

62. Girls with a sense of humour please us.

63. We worry about you, too.

64. Don’t apologize for things we don’t mind or want you to apologize for.

65. Cheerleaders aren’t always something we want.

66. Unless we're friends with your best friend, don't have them tag along.

67. It's annoying when you're paranoid. We won't leave you or forget about you.

68. Don't make fun of us, we can be insecure too.

69. We like attention, too.

70. Don't be an attention whore.

71. We like being called hot or sexy. Cute can occasionally be a let down. Same with adorable.

72. Don't try to force us to do things we don't want to, it makes a relationship worse.

73. Don't ask us for fashion opinions, we have no clue.

74. Cuddling is OK too, we just hate it when that's all you want to do.

75. We can help you out whenever you need it, just try not to dump your problems on us.

76. Yes, we love you. No, we don't hate you. Yes, we're not lying.

77. Some guys may like girls that act stupid, but the vast majority of us hate it.

78. Our hearts can be broken, too.

79. Stuck-up bitches are our enemies.

80. Resist the urge to whine. It drives us nuts.

81. If we buy you presents, you should accept them. We spend money on you because we care.

82. NEVER PAY US BACK FOR PRESENTS.

83. Don't lead us on. Ever. About anything. It never works out

Yay youth camp count down... 3 days!

2009-12-12T19:18:00.002+08:00

new things for today(:
microcredits and microfinancing

They are very small loans, typically less than $100 (£54), made to the rural poor in developing countries who normally do not qualify for traditional banking credit.

This is often the only way they can establish a business and lift themselves out of poverty.
Today it has 6.6 million borrowers of whom 97% are women.

Word of the day: Juxtaposition
1. an act or instance of placing close together or side by side, esp. for comparison or contrast.
2. the state of being close together or side by side.

2009-12-09T02:05:00.002+08:00

Yay the Copenhagen talks are on!!! Too bad for President Obama that he can't make the talks till the end. Hot topic man:D What's that about the IPCC now hmm?

Anyways, here's the update on youth camp prep. Everything is now being rushed for SOCCAMP! Tomorrow should be heaps of fun going from Clementi(tution) to Kovan(meeting) to Paya Lebar(shirts). Its tiring but fun, and I hope it pays off. Please please let camp be a success!*crosses fingers*

2009-12-04T11:43:00.015+08:00

Bugis- by accident?
3rd Dec 2009

Today, Michelle, a resident of Toa Payoh, hit an all knew level high of dumb when she accidentally took the train to bugis. How did she do it one might ask? Well it began when she boarded the train home from Orchard- or thought she did. Only three stops later did she realize she was heading in the wrong direction, and switched over to the opposite platform. Unfortunately at City Hall, the opposite platform goes to Pasir Ris/Changi. Thus, our unsuspecting protagonist found herself in Bugis. It also didn't help that it was peak hour and she was unable to catch the next two trains. Further investigations are taking place as to how this unfortunate incident occurred. Eyewitness accounts appreciated.

A million miles away is too far, so how do I retrace my steps?
What I thought was wasn't and everything else came crashing.
I know the truth now, and the truth hurts.
The End of the fairytale is near.

2009-12-02T21:53:00.004+08:00

This is the result of my experiment--my first self designed blogskin:) Yeah it may not be the best, but it was fun, so I'm happy. Anyway, yesterday went well, both the worship and the fund raising. Except that poor Jasmine had a sore eye and we didn't finish selling the chin chow. Other than that, I think the day was awesome(oh no, I'm beginning to sound like luke!!)ok, I'm done rambling, so cheers, I'm off to bed. Zzz...

2009-11-28T15:58:00.003+08:00

Open house is over. And my heart is breaking because I don't want to leave. And yet I have to. Sure it wasn't always easy, but I will miss all the screaming, shouting, fun and just-plain-madness. Mostly, I think I will miss all the choir members especially since we've been through so much and made so many memories together. A big shout out to you guys... Don't forget me, 'cause I sure won't forget you! Thank you for always being there and showing me your care. Yours truly, MK.

2009-11-18T20:30:00.002+08:00

Oh life science is interesting! First we got to toture bacteria by shocking them, then making them glow. Then we got to see our own DNA today. The irritating Korean Sheep swallowed the salt solution we were only meant to gargle with!!!

Jasper the dance instructor came to help with the choreography of our choir pieces for the concert. And I now have to add MC script on my list of things to type, already crowded with the Thimun resolution and Current affairs council proposal. SIGH...

Still, glad to have my fellow MUNners joining me @ Thimun, otherwise I'd be way lonely:D

Curve balls just seem to keep coming when your heart is heavy,your mind confused, and you are way stressed though its the hols! One of life's great ironies.

Ps,note to everyone:

A thought after the chinese and geog papers-

I've a crick in my neck
and a crick in me back
but I'm not gonna crick...
(oh wait, I meant crack)

Hehe. Was inspired by shel silverstein:)

Shocked by this, but pleasantly so. Wonder who posted it? I didn't know it existed. Now there is no more usamaliya! or classroom soccer and no UJs to bug people and 'chers. We've gone our seperate ways...and I really miss 2/4 08.

I can barely believe it, but I chose to go to India for the student leadership trip over my precious MUNOFS, because I would like to see a different culture and to help the less fortunate on my trip there(we're raising funds before we go to the slums I think), and also because I think it'll be my first and last chance to go for a school trip overseas(I mean MUN will always be a part of my life). Vaccination at Tan Tock Seng Hospital tomorrow:) LOVE...Send it on<3

PS, Mikey please don't kill me for abandoning the evil MUN triplets this time around:D

Phototaking Day! At long last, AMKSS is taking yearbook photographs! It is so late this year that I had almost given up hope of seeing a yearbook for 2009. Class and council scheduled on the same day. Fancy that. Too bad the choir pic wasn't on the same day as well.

Despite the fact that I have all the tests looming up, today was a most pleasant day for all in my class. Everyone was super zi high... I wasn't called a KANGaroo today too=)

Yu Hang and I have taken to reading the English Dictionary when we're bored in class. We've even come up with a game that helps us randomly pick a page number and a new word to learn(we were doing this in assembly while Mr Ong was talking about the Amksian awards, and yes, it was in the hall...). Somehow or rather though we ended up stuck in P, because of interesting words like Perspicacuity(adj)-a clear or sharp understanding, Perspicacious-keeness of understanding, Not to be confused with the former, Perspicuity-clearness in expressing one's thoughts and Potash-potassium carbonate, which I have since discovered is an active ingredient in bomb making(weird much).

Backtracking to earlier in the day. During Bio, following Mrs Veda's announcement of the lifescience programme during Conquer O, I suceeded in confusing myelf and Yu Hang with the following thoughts and questions. One question led to another, so yeah...

Questions for the day:
Cancer is a genetic mutation of cells where cells do not do their specific functions, and instead multiply out of control. Unfortunately, as the genetic code of these cells are not unusual in our bodies, the white blood cells do not attack these cells as they are seen as part of the body and therefore not harmful.

1.Would it not be possible to alter this state by injecting something into these cells to alter the way the white blood cells react(though this would not be plausible in cases like bone cancer)?
Ans: Introduction of genes into stem cells have been able to decrease toxicity, and there are many ways of gene transfer into cells. Because viruses can deliver genes with high efficiency, this method is commonly used to introduce genetic material. However, nonviral transfer methods have fewer saftey issues, and it is easer to produce clinical grade material for nonviral cell transfers. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find anything that is more similar to what I was thinking about, so I have to keep searching I guess.

2.Would it be harmful to the surrounding cells that are serving their purpose?
Ans: Unfound as it is related to the former question.

3.What are existing methods of cancer treatment and how effective are they?
Ans: There are experimental drugs, gene therapy, bone marrow transplants, treatment vaccine therapy, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, along with so much more. However, the last two, in killing cancerous cells also cause severe pysiological alterations to normal tissue and body functions. Severe side effects include toxicities in many body systems and organs, due to permanent killing of the healthy cells around the cancerous ones.

4. When do the genes in these cells start mutating and what triggers it?
Ans:Nothing helpful on the internet, so i guess I'll have to ask my teacher.

5.How many types of cancer are there?
Ans:
Amazingly, there are cancers that come under all letters except for D,F,J, X, Y,and Z. Most common however(and the ones I can pronounce)are-bladder cancer, melanoma, breast cancer, Non-hodgkin Lymphoma, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, Endometrical cancer, prostate cancer, Kidney(renall cell)cancer, skin cancer(non melanoma), leukemia, thyroid cancer, lung cancer.

6.How does one test for cancer in a patient anyway?
Some ways include digital mammography, ultrasound, biopsy, MRI scans,PET scans and x-rays and body fluid samples(most common methods of detection).

7.How do syringes work?
Ans: A syringe is a large tube with a plunger inserted in one end and the other end resulting in a smaller tube (the needle). Older syringes used to be made mainly of glass and metal, but modern syringes are constructed of lighter plastic and only have metal in the needle portion.Filling an empty syringe is accomplished by inserting the needle into a bottle or reservoir of liquids and pulling the plunger back, causing suction. This draws the liquid into the syringe and readies it for injection into the body. The needle's point is sharp enough to penetrate the skin easily and acts as a conduit for the liquid inside the syringe to be inserted (or "injected") into the body. The liquid is forced from the syringe by pushing the plunger toward the needle end of the syringe.

Yay, Mr Taylor came to AMKSS today to present the certs... and guess what? MUNOFS is back and 19 ppl are taking part yipee:) I'm really thrilled as are my evil mun triplets( except for a small prob between two ppl) Don't want to get involved but I'm friends with both so the sit is kinda awkward...

Question for the day:
1.How are pencils made?
Ans: It starts with a block of wood which is then cut into slats.
The slats are then stained, and grooves are cut into one surface.
Prepared leads are placed into the grooves, and a second slat is placed on top and bonded with the first.
This 'pencil sandwich' is then passed through a milling process to separate the individual pencils.
The pencil is painted and finished, a ferrule crimped onto the end, and finally, an eraser is crimped into the ferrule.

"The High Road"
Oh Yeah
Yeah Oh

I gave you my heart
I gave you my soul
I gave everything that I had
But ya left me in the cold
But still I have faith
Somehow I believe
That if I keep love in my heart
It will find it's way to me
I could fightSeek revenge
But that's not who I am
No I'm not givin in
I will rise above

I'm gonna keep walkin
Though it may seem far
I'm gonna keep reachin
when life gets too hard
Not gonna let you bring me down
I'll take The High Road
I'm gonna keep climbin
Till I see the top
I'm gonna keep tryin
Though I may get lost
Not gonna let you bring me down
I’ll take the high road
I'm gonna get by on the high road
Yes I will
I'm gonna get by on the high road

This pain that I feel
I will overcome
I know somewhere deep down inside
It's the pain that makes us strong
I could curseI could shout
Take the easy way out
I’ll forgive you somehow
I will rise above

I'm gonna keep walkin
Though it may seem far
I'm gonna keep reachin
When life gets too hard
Not gonna let you bring me down I'll take the high road
I'm gonna keep climbin
Till I see the top
I'm gonna keep tryin
Though I may get lost
Not gonna let you bring me down
I’ll take the high road
I'llget by
To be real I can't keep it inside
I may fall sometimes
but I will survive

I'm gonna keep reachin
I'm gonna keep climbin
I'm gonna keep tryin
I'm gonna keep walkin
Though it may seem far
I'm gonna keep reachin
When life gets too hard
Not gonna let you bring me down
I’ll take the high road
I'm gonna get by on the high road (times 4)

I'd lie-taylor swift

I don't think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
And I count the colors in his eyes
He'll never fall in loveHe swears
as he runs his fingers through his hair
I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong
And I don't think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke, I fake a smile
But I know all his favorite songs

And I could tell youHis favorite color's green
He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him
I'd lie

He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go on
Doesn't he know that I've had him memorized for so long

And he sees everything black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I don't let nobody see me wishin' he was mine

I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him
I'd lie

He stands there, then walks away
My gosh, if I could only say
I'm holding every breath for you

He'd never tell you
But he can play guitar
I think he can see through everything but my heart
First thought when I wake up
is my gosh, he's beautiful
So I put on my make-up
And pray for a miracle

Yes, I could tell you
His favorite color's green
And he loves to argue
Oh, and it kills me
His sister's beautifulHe has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him...
if you ask me if I love him...
I'd lie

Question for the day

1. Do birds have eyelids?(they blink that's for sure)
Ans:Actually, they have THREE eyelids:1. An upper lid resembling that of humans2. A lower lid that closes when a bird sleeps, and3. A third lid called a nictitating membrane, that sweeps across the eye sideways, starting from the side near the beak. This lid is a thin, translucent fold of skin that moistens and cleans the eye and protects it from wind and bright light.So yes, they have eye lids, and thus yes, they blink.

Question for the day

1. where is the nearest power station to toa payoh?
Ans: i think its tuas:D

2009-09-08T19:59:00.000+08:00

Questions for the day

1. What are pamidronates?
It is used to prevent bone loss, and treat osteoporosis. It is also used to strengthen bone in Paget's disease, to prevent bone loss due to steroid use, and in certain cancers with high propensity to bone, such as multiple myeloma. In multiple myeloma, it is usually administered as an intravenous infusion, lasting about 3 hours. The therapy is repeated monthly, and lasts for the life of the patient. Due to its ability to sequester calcium in bone, it is also used to treat high calcium levels. It is also used as an experimental treatment of the bone disorder known as Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or brittle bones.

2. How are correction tapes made?
Ans:(yet to be found)

3. If time can be measured is it a substance? Where does it come from and what happens to it after it 'passes'?
Ans:(yet to be found)

If anyone knows the answers, please tell me:) Thanks, mk

hey hey, long time no blog! I'm now really tan as a result of attending two camps consecutively. I really enjoyed myself as it was way cool 'cause I got to bond with my new found friends. At the Bukit Timah nature reserve I saw close to hundred stars all at one go, and I jumped into a quarry full of rainwater. Both experiences are so memorable. Miss some of my new friends already. Any way, on new year's eve I went with some of my fellow councilors to the padang to watch the fireworks, so I'm gonna try to put the video here. so long and chao for now!
