Go watch! hahaha. it's super lame! xD
But it helps in cheering me up. (:
-
Okay so anyway, guesssss what.
lol I dreamt of paul twohill. again.
wahahaha. This time there were two of him!
like two identical twins, standing in the front of my e5 classroom!
LOL. and then both was about to exit through the front door when one of the pauls said he wanted to show us some magic and asked if we believed he could make a book float in the air.
And elim happened to be at the back door for some particular reason and she was all,(can imagine her tone and expression right),'no la i don't believe.' she was speaking chemistry logic. 'it is impossible because blah blah...'
I forgot exactly what she said but she was certain she didn't believe paul.
lol. then suddenly, I turned around and I see a white book floating out from underneath Yang Qian's table(yang qian was not at her seat, I didn't see her anywhere. haha) and it was like coming closer to huiyun.
I was very much amazed and Elim was like,' that is psychic. Because you use the spirit that's why what..'
hahahaha so weird right my dream. then that's the end I think. Couldn't remember no more.(:
-
Oh ya I think right, that Mr Poh don't like our class lor.
haha.. he tries everytime to liven the mood and crack some supposedly 'funny' jokes and look at how we responded.
lol. we never pei he him at all. but cannot blame us what. his jokes quite bad leh.
haha.. but I think he's quite nice la. just sometimes.. dunno leh, huiyun and I just enjoy smirking at him.
hahaha so mean!
okok.xD
-
Urgh I've covered this before, but seriously, I am itching to give him another good dressing-down everytime I see him on television.
It is so incredulous, I can hate someone so much just for that merely 5 minutes of time. And I hate him so much I think I hate him more than ants. Can you believe it?
More than ANTS leh????????
waseh means he's worse than an ant lor.
haha ya precisely.
If you still dunno who I'm referring to by now(how can you not?), it's that MONKEY(refer to previous hate post).
You know, just simply hearing his voice make me wanna vomit all my intestines out.
and oh! did u know he had a fan club?
*faints*
WHO WORSHIPS MONKEYS? ESPECIALLY AN ESPECIALLY UGLY ONE WHO THINKS HE'S A KOREAN MONKEY INSTEAD OF JUST STICKING TO BE A SINGAPOREAN ONE?-.-
hate him. and so I went to google him and I found this piece of disgusting propaganda that sent me revolting almost immediately. [WARNING: If you have eaten, I suggest you better not attempt to read the following one-sided accounts of an ignorant fan of the monkey.]
.
.
Source A :An account by Jenny taken from Mediacorp site-
'He`s great. For those who say that he could`nt act, let mi tell u that u are plain jealous. Dun ever be jealous of someone who is more handsome n acts much better den u. I think he`s great, he`s the most handsome person in the whole world n his acting is also the best. nobody can ever win him. As 4 the person who had said that terence`s acting is poor, u ought to be ashame of urself!!! Terence, I will support u forever.I saw him once n he was so handsome that I almost fainted.Of course Terence`s handsome. He`s the most handsome person on the earth. If you say he`s not handsome, all the people hav to jump down to death liao. Actually only pple who are jealous of Terence says that he`s not handsome!'
-
Source B: An account by a person who names him/her self 'singaporean'taken from Mediscorp site-
'Terence balek kampong! aiyoh ! i don`t understand why tcs still wanna keep a stale piece of shait like terence cao ! he can`t act , plus his sickening look of arrogance really makes people turn off ! what appeal has he ? its high time tcs get rid of this rotting log b4 he pulls down the popularity of tcs dramas.'
-
Source C: An account by Haitang Hua taken from Mediacorp site-
'just wanna say something in fairness. it`s rather unfair to judge based on appearances but that`s something we all do at one pt or another.
i admit he looks smug, but i have talked to him before, he is actually very friendly and no airs, very polite. used to think he got limited expressions for acting but his performance in Stepping Out really bowled me over,think he shd hv gotton the Best Actor award for it. And im no fan of his. '
-
Question 1: Look at Sources A and B. How do Sources A and B differ?
Question 2: Do you think that Source C is accurate in showing the personality of Terence Cao aka the Monkey?
Essay question: 'Terence Cao is the worst shit who ever lived.' How far do you agree with this statement?
-
HEHEHEE. I wanna answer question 2!
.
.
2.
No, I do not feel that Source C truly reflects the true personality of the monkey. Firstly, the source came from a girl who ridiculously named herself Haitang Hua, who knows? She might be someone emplyed by the monkey to give that staement or 'she' could be the monkey itself? It might be possible because after all, it is taken from the web and anyone can identify him or her self as someone else just to prove his or her point! She could also be a friend or relative of the monkey, maybe she's the same species as him! That is why she is clearly placing him in a positive light. Even thought she had mentioned some of the monkey's flaws, it might be her ploy to play compare and contrast with us by hurrying to explain the positive qualities of the monkey. Therefore, what she says probably isn't the truth.
Secondly, Haitang Hua has mentioned that she had communicated with him before and he had put on no airs and was very friendly. This is probably so not because he is naturally the 'people person', but it may be so because he is an actor after all, so he has to keep up with his good image and portray to be someone he is not, so as to leave a good impression on his so-called 'fans'. He may be having a bad day but to show that he is a likable and popular person, he will not hesitate to put that mask back on on his face and continue pretending to be all smiley and kind. Therefore, his actions does not determine his character as we have to consider that he has an image to uphold and is actually faking all the way just to make people like Haitang Hua swoon over him.
In conclusion, I am certain that Source C is an inaccurate, one-sided account that do not truly show the real person,or animal, the monkey truly is.

TADAAAAAAA! GOOD RIGHT!!!!
hahahahahhahaha.. I am gonna ace my history if this topic comes out. And I would write alot morrrrre! =D

Woohoos! I'm going to Zhonghua's 90th anniversary celebration tomorrow.
Perfect. I'm dying of excitement. dying
...
I actually intended to go to Malaysia with my family instead.
Budden the trip was apparantly cancelled, so I was thinking,' I'll just go and get it over with lar.'
Save me from all the explanation if I didn't go.
Mr Lim taught us some useful vocab words today, so I thought I'll put them into good use.=D
I'm dreading Miss Tan's verbose speech tomorrow as I am certain it will all just be some garrulous talk that is as boring and uninteresting as a banal talk with an aquaintance, I'll rather she be laconic instead.
HEHEE. CHIM RIGHT! WAHAHAHA. XD
GO GO CHECK YR DIC!
lols OK LA just wanna chou mei myself abit, haven been doing that for quite awhile I realise.x)

-
Ok so anyway, do you ppl watch the 9.00pm show FA TING QIAO JIA REN?
It's pretty decent and I thought I'll now dedicate my 1hour time every weekday to watch that show, until I realised he was acting in it. yes he. HE, THE MONKEY!
VERY PISSED OFF. WHY IS MEDIACORP DOING THIS? CAN'T THEY SEE HE LOOKS LIKE A MONKEY REINCARNATED AND SPEAKS IN AN DISGUSTING MANNER THAT IS MEANT TO SOUND MANLY?CAN'T THEY SEE HE OVERACTS AND LIKES TO WEAR UGLY SHIRTS WITH A PINK TIE THAT SUPPOSEDLY IS TO MAKE HIM LOOK MORE SMART AND KOREAN-ISH?URGH.GET OFF MY TV SCREEN ALREADY!
If you all haven get the message yet, YES HE IS ONE OF MY MOST HATED MEDIACORP ARTISE.
I don't make an effort to remember his name. I have always regarded him as Monkey.

I am terribly sorry to gross you ppl out with this monkey face.
But I got to make my point.


He can't act.

He overacts.
He keeps his hair that long and dye it this colour to make him look more shuai, like those korean shuai ges you see in korean dramas. Except that he don't look like a single one at all. He looks more like a monkey with that golden mane.
He makes the biggest effort to wear something that makes you wanna have a second look. But all he gets from me is a second eyeball-rolling and immediate turnoff.
Gosh I hate him so much everytime he appears I just walk away, or started scolding non-stop.
lol. I sound so mean but c'mon, people who looks terrible should just admit that fact and be himself, at least people won't hate him that much. Instead, he tries to portray a shuai ge image whenever possible. Zuo ren yao you zi zhi zi ming.
LOOK, JUST LOOK, AT THE ABSOLUITE DIFFERENCE!
NEVER, I REPEAT, NEVER! WOULD HE BECOME SOMEONE LIKE HIM! He doesn't even need to make the effort to look good! and look at that monkey.
-.- Hell of a difference.
OKAY so on a lighter note,
My Lovely Sam Soon is really nice!=D
It's kinda meaningless and silly at times but it's okay. At least the guys in the show acts naturally.
lol ok ok.












Okay something random! I dreamt of Paul Twohill!(:
hahahaha. yes yes! He appeared in my house!
I forgot most of my dream but it's something like this la.
Cuz my mum, who is working, brought her friend, who is friends with Paul, who comes along, home by the car she drives.[my mum doesn't even drives btw]
So I when I saw Paul sitting at my living room, I was pretty shocked and ask him what he was doing here.
lol. then talk talk and the next scenario was that he was at my bedroom.
PLEASE dun think crooked thank you.
I dun dream of such stuff okay. haha
He was listening to my zen, which is connected to my two football speakers.
and cuz I heard that it was a chinese song[SHE's Ring Ring Ring fyi], so I went to off my zen, thinking that he doesn't listen to mandopop.
But he turns arnd and says he does! So yeah.
Then talk talk talk.
I can't rmb anymore.
hahahaa. What an amusing dream.(:
-
P.S The I LOVE YOU? thing on top is not typed by me btw.=D no way.

Thursday, September 07, 2006 9:11 PM


Paul's out. =(
Yeah kinda expected that.
But really glad that he had come so far!
PAUL YOU ROCK! He had made SI more interesting than it has been. Hope to see him again sooner soon soon! =D

-
Hah. Gurmit didn't do the 'what have u done s'pore?who and what did u vote for?' thing. Probably saw the nasty comment against him in 8days. It's about time.

-

urgh, don't feel like going to school at all tomorrow.
just wanna sleep in for hours! =(

P.S. CRISS ANGEL WALKED ON WATER. WOAH.

yes I know he's trying hard to show us he's a dedicated, sincere teacher.
And I dun blame him for that.
With the powerpoint slides and the paper cranes(even walking down each row to give them out) at the first day of lesson with him, it is pretty thoughtful dontcha think?
Ok maybe some of us don't think that way.
But he's okay lar. So patient with the gideon-eating-sweets-in-class incident!
I would have expected him to blow his cover and start to let his emotions get the better of him, yet he turned around and continued with his lessons.
Which may not be a good thing because it may seem that he is weak, and we students have the power and ability to turn the tables against him.
But whatever. Back to him being dedicated.
erm. ya, heard alot of good things about him from e4, like staying back real late to help in their CIP project, coming to school early on the day of amaths test just so that he can go through amaths questions with unsure students, blah blah blah.
Yes we got the message across that he's all 'kind and patient and good' all that,
BUT THERE GOT TO BE A LIMIT RIGHT?!?!?!
WHY MUST HE GO TO THE EXTENT OF HAVING AN AMATHS SSP DURING THIS ONE PATHETIC WEEK HOLIDAY???
even elim don do things like that.
Does he miss us that much?
Just two more days after friday then he can see us again what.
-.- what's with this ONE-HOUR SSP thing at 9 in the morning?
yes yes I know, it is all for our own good.... blah blah...
but in 336 days in a year, apart from festivals and ocassions, we practically see their faces every single day!
So depressing can. and now, we have to go back to school to see their faces again.
Not that (I assume)they want to see us, but.
haha but I guess my situation is better than some people, like J lau, who has to go back to school two days for BIO SSP with seow lan.
woah good luck.xD
-
P.S Singapore Idol's on today. beginning to lose interest man, even though joakim's OUT. Maybe part of the reason is because of Gurmit's sickening face, along with supposedly 'funny' jokes. Can't stand the way he trys to be creative but fails. 'What have u done, singapore? what[it's not even correct grammer usage] and who, did you decide?' *rolls eyes* sometimes when he talks, I just mute him or change the channel. 'Issit Paul who is gonna be out?Or issit Joakim?PAUL?JOAKIM?PAUL?JOAKIM?PAUL?JOAKIM?' GOSH SHUDDUP ALREADY! if he thinks that's funny, it sure isn't. It shows what a lousy host he is. haha, I prefer PCK than him. weird. but anw, I HOPE PAUL GETS IN TODAY! HEAR! HEAR! I know there are alot of paul-haters in my class[esp those sitting around me, haha] BUT I hope jasmine will be eliminated first, then paul or whoever else. 6 more minutes till SI starts. This is for 2moro's result show->
'WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, SINGAPORE? WHAT AND WHO, DID YOU DECIDE?'

xD HAPPY HAPPY DAY!
Saturday, September 02, 2006 1:31 PM

HEH HEH HEH.
Heard JOAKIM IS ELIMINATED.
It's stupid because everytime I see in front of the TV to watch SI's result show, biting my fingernails waiting for gurmit singh to announce that joakin would be eliminated, it wouldn't happen.
Yet, when I missed ytd's result show cause I was out, IT HAPPENED.
And thus, while my friends such as kkw and huiyun are cheering happily at home, I'm outside and unable to cheer along with them.
fate.
haha but whatever.
IM SO GONNA WATCH THE RESULT SHOW TONIGHT.xD
So lag right, must wait until tonight then start cheering and screaming when Gurmit Singh announce the results.
haha.. no offence to zhilei, and cass. =)

Teacher's Day Celebration was B.O.R.I.N.G.
Brought SUNFLOWERS to school.
realised I was the only one in class who brought flowers to school for teachers.
I WANT TO BE TEACHER'S PET CANNOT MEH? HUH CANNOT MEH?
hahaha NO WAY. Im kidding.
Teacher's pet is disgusting.
Leave it to ppl such as boon hao.
haha okay no offence.
So anw, when I thrust them to Elim, she was like ,'you must study hard okay, you didn't score too well for the previous test.'
I was so pai seh lar.. haha..
but she's the best.. love it when she said zhonghua sucks.x)
so very sad that she's going away next year.
hais.. another good teacher gone.
and whoose fault is it, like always?
YES HER FAULT.
If she isn't so useless and self-centred, so many teacher's wouldn't have left.
Maybe they left for ther reasons, but part of it gotta be because of her.
She even chided the school on TEACHER'S DAY, babbling about us making alot of noise and not making Teacher's Day a Teacher's Day.
yeah right, like whoose the one making all the noise?
I really think she's acting that way because she didn't get a single pathetic bouquet of flowers or any presents on that day.
maybe only a silly card sent to the wrong person.
ha ha. Must be really depressing for her.
Can't believe she was a model.
Gosh, did u all see how she dressed on thurs?
HIDEOUS. Bad fashion sense.
haha ok this can go on forever.
shall stop!
-
Anyway, the reason I didn't watch the results show was because I was out with my primary school friends!=D
After the lame celebration(what's with the teacher's pledge? I think it's so mian qiang.It's redundant), I went for my Bio Spa Exam.
It's fine I guess. I think I got my experimental error correct, but my comments on the result was pretty weak.
Heard from sophia that Jonathan frm e4 wrote two pages for the comments.
that's so sick.
I only wrote like one stupid paragraph.
haha so zi bei can!
-
Ok so after the SPA, Sophia and I went back to KCP.
Evryone was more or less gone except for the teachers in the staff room.
So we went it and chatted with Miss Theresa Tan, our ex-girl's bridgade teacher.
She's leaving for Canada on friday and she was trying to unpack because there were so many presents on her table!
I realised that the presents a secondary school teacher gets is nothing compared to what a primary school teacher gets.
There were notebook, cup, chocolates, biscuits, US MONEY!, magnet, so many cards aka love letters, soft toys!,candles.. blah blah.
So good right!
SO this inspires sophia and I to become primary school teacher's in future, esp after seeing the US dollars miss tan recieved,worth singapore 160 dollars.
LOLS nonono kidding kidding!(not about the money, about the inspiration thing)
Ok so anyway, I saw Mdm Lee, Miss Ling(she's gettin married soon!=D), Mdm Soh, and principal MR WONG!
He's so stupid, he treated us like his elves and asked us to carry his bags of presents to his car.
He has so much! like five bags!
hahaha.. WOAH COMPARE THAT TO HER's.
LOLS!!! I bet she doesn't even need those small plastic bags you get from NTUC for her presents, if there's any.
hahaha. okok felicia don't start.
So, we helped Miss Tan unwrapped her presents and packed them into a box.
Stayed in the staff room for quite a long time, then we headed to Zhengxiang's house to go meet some of our primary school friends! =D
We met with Nithiya, vivien, rachel, jac, jonathan chung, jonathan tan, justin, edwin and Zhengxiang!
Sophia and I hugged viven in the toilet under coincidental cirsumstances.
haha
So we idled in ZX's house, with idiotic JT and spastic JC cracking supeeer LAME JOKES.
so freezing cold.. hahaha
then we were laughing at the slightest thing and everyone were like at different frquencies. Jac and I kept wondering if we were still on earth.
lols it was stupid but I liked the feeling.
I felt so relaxed and comfortable there.
Gotta thank those guys for it.
So later on, we went out for dinner at J8.(edwin and justin left first)
After eating, JC, JT and zhengxiang all left, curfew I think.
Rachel and Jac too, needed to go home.
So vivien, nithiya, sophia and me went shopping arnd.
Thanks to vivien recommendation, we instant-photo-ed ourselves and we all have this really sweet picture of us four in our wallets.
I love it so much!(:
Then at arnd 9plus, we said our goodbyes.
hope to see you all soon!
my dad was attending a course at Bishan CC, so I went there to wait for him.
This was undoubtedly one of my best gatherings.
Hope there's more to come.=)
Took some really blur pictures, so I kinda tired messing with them,to make them not so blur, and finally, at least, they can be shown in public. haha I think..

-At Zheng Xiang's house.







The people who made me smile foolishly. ALOT.

And I thought my jokes were lame.xD





- On the way to J8..


Jonathan the LAMER, sophia and ME! =D
Sophia said she liked this pic alot cuz it's so dark and you can see JC's white teeth very clearly.
hahaha..

And sophia kept getting hit by the balloon because of jon. so poor thing. haha





-On the way to J8..



She's the best! =D











-At the Mrt Station




3 of us again! hahha.. see those two spastic-looking human beings.
lols..okok kdding.

They R A W K lar.







-At the Mrt Station




=D










-At j8



Sophia so childish! lols..jk =p It sucks to wear school U when it's late at night and ure outside. Feels weird. =X









-Still at J8!




VIVIEN! (:
LOVE THIS GIRL.

























-J8. EATING.



Nithiya, Sophia, Felicia.
HEY IT RHYMES. =)











-J8 FUIJIFILM shop.





That's the picture we took at J8..I didn't do anything to it so it looks blur. But the actual picture is really cool.(:







THAT'S ALL FOLKS.
feels so sastified after seeing my pictures.
Great sense of achievement.
hhaa.. I took a reaaaaaaaally long time to do it you know.
lols maybe that's because I'm still exploring.
OK. That's all.
for the sake of it,
HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY.
=)
BYEBYE!

you are not alone
I love him all the same

saturday, july 18th, 2009. Michael Jackson, King of Pop
If I were to write this post one week ago I wouldn't have got past the first few lines, without crying so badly. Admittedly, the news of his passing did not bothered, much less saddened me because my impression of him was vague and as a child I wasn;t exposed to any of this songs or videos, just news from the press every now and then. Till a few days after his death. I went on Youtube and before I knew it I was clicking videos after videos, watching and in awe of this man who not only served to entertain, but strived to serve the community with his enormous heart. And as I watched on and knew more, so much more about what he've been through his life, emotions started pouring in. And when I least expected it, tears started to come. I was never his fan, but now I regret not being one. It is not just one of those idol craze or whatever no, it was true sincere admiration for his works and humanitarianism that touched me, that made me look upon him as a role model. Its hard to believe that since the media had portrayed him as some wacko freak, paedophile, child molester..etc. but may I say, BULLSHIT. he is none of that sort. Other than being the greatest entertainer of the time and coming up with the most original dance moves that many stars tried hard (but pale in comparison in my opinion) to imitate, Micheal Jackson shares the love he has, especially to children, to people around him. He was a philanthropist, donating millions of dollars to the record 39 charities he supported, and raising more through his own Heal the World Foundation. He built NeverLand Ranch, complete with amusement parks, fun rides, a place where children dreamed of going for fun and laughter. From young, Michael Jackson had a childhood very different from others, where had to perform at a very young age. When he made mistakes, his father used to beat him, and not only with a belt. To make up for his lost childhood, Michael had always adored children and he himself is somehow like a child trapped in an adult body (watch his documentary, ignore the stupid bastard interviewer who was plain bias and selfish to see that such a nature still exists in a man so great he just had to bring him down. shall not waste time elaborating on this backstabbing ass because he's simply not worth it. If you're interested, watch the documentary Living with Michael Jackson on youtube. I could'nt get past to the last few parts because I got so fed up with his narrow-mindedness and ignorance that I closed the window). So back to the point. Michael Jackson brought orphans to NeverLand, where they play freely in the theme parks and find joy and laughter, which he himself derive more than anyone else' from the happy looks on their faces. Children were invited for sleepovers at his place, because it was safe, secure. But when news of him being a child paedophile arose after being charged by one of the kids who slept in his room, he ended up paying millions of dollars aside from being publicly humiliated and disgraced. because he did nothing disgraceful of that sort. because a few years later the kid owned up that it was his parents who made him to do, succumbed to the temptation of money, something which Micheal Jackson do not lacked. The father was tape-recorded discussing his intention to pursue charges, where he said, "If I go through with this, I win big-time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever ... Michael's career will be over". It was painful. Yet Michael still persisted, years later, in bringing less fortunate children to NeverLand, because that was more important to him. Even though the pain and hurt he had gone through had probably never healed. His strength is one of the reasons why I admire him so much. Then there was another incident, this time of him 'dangling' his baby over the window. 'omg he's crazy he wants to throw the baby down!!!!' maybe that's what it seemed like on tv and on papers, but what they didn't show is the crowd of fans below the hotel he's staying, yelling his name and wanting to also see his baby. So Michael showed them his baby, his hands wrapped under his baby's arms so tight and pulled him back as fast as he could. But what did the viewers see? A slowed-down version of him apparently dangling his baby in mid-air like a bad father. Its ignorance if people believed he was going to actually throw his own baby down the building. And at that time, I was one of the ignorant ones. I remembered looking at the pictures on some gossip magazine and felt slightly freaked out. But now I realise how much he loved his children, and how hard he tried to protect them from the media. And again, all these negative press and biasness probably was too overwhelming....how much pain can a person take? we would never know because we're not him, its hard to understand. But maybe all these people will leave him alone now, since he's already gone. I bought The Essential Michael Jackson cd, a compilation of hit songs by him. My dad and I watched his concerts and performances and music videos and we were more than in awe, in fact I think thats an understatement. Newfound respect and admiration for the man who was so creative and original, who dared to do things not commonly seen, creating dance steps while he sang at those times when most singers just stood there and sung. He thought of challenging and exciting music videos where people had never seen the injection of extra footage to create a kind of story. And not to mention those crazy vocals, coordinated dance moves, the famous moonwalk (I never get tired of it) and this amazing 45degree tilt he does which simply blows my mind away. It was all his signature style, the gloves, the crotch-grabbing whatever. Every single performance was done in class and so much more. He was an inspiration to people over the world, different races, and especially to African-Americans. He was an icon and also their pride. I can rattle on and on because there's too many things about him that are truly inspiring and simply awesome but sometimes words just cant fully express it. And yes maybe I do seem a little bias but this is what I truly feel. My only regret is that I have and will never get the chance to attend one of his mind-blowing concerts and be one of those lucky fans who felt the presence of Michael Jackson, the most successful entertainer of all time, the King Of Pop. 'Smile, even though your heart is aching.' This is one of the lyrics from his favourite song 'Smile', written by Charlie Chaplin and was sung during his memorial. I remembered someone said something like this during the memorial, 'Even though we need him here, but I guess God needed him more'. Even though we miss him so much, Heaven is probably the place he needs to be, away from any pain, suffering or cruelty. (rhymes!) He has already achieved so much and left behind a wonderful legecy that will pass down to generations after generations. Thank you Michael.
