Officially moved.

I'm not shutting down this blog cause I think it's stupid to delete the 450-post-blog with all the videos and pictures and my musings for the past 2 years.I'll leave it here so I can always come back and revisit the good ol' days.You can tag still,I'll reply.

Find me if you can! (:

I'm so bored with Blogger.I want to move to Xanga or Livejournal.Blogger's so blah and overrated and predictable and did I mention boring?

I love Campbell Soup.I don't think I'll ever get sick of eating it.I don't mind eating it everyday for the rest of my life in fact.My favourite flavour's the Cream of Chicken.Do you eat Campbell with rice or just like that?Cause I eat it with rice and I thought everyone else did too.But during OBS,where we had Campbell,we started talking about our favourite flavours and it seemed like I was the only one who eats it with rice.And my favourite parts are the lumpy bits of the soup.It's extroardinarieee(in the French twang Hanis uses).There's nothing like a good bowl of Campbell soup to make you feel better,not that I'm sick or anything.But I'm just saying,you know.

Jalan Raya with the old PRPS gang yesterday.As usual, PRPS jalan raya never disappoints.We were always talking and laughing and leaving a trail of havoc wherever we went.It's just so good being with them again.Although there were lesser people this year,(less than 10 compared to our usual of more than 10)I think it was the best out of all the years we've been jalan raya-ing.I think it's cause we missed each other terribly and were just so extremely happy to be with each other again that there was no sense of discomfort or unease among us at all.Right from the start,we fell into our usual ease with one another,the familiar sense of solidarity we always had.And it was a really nice feeling.It was just such a day of immense joy,whether it was walking to the next house,or taking the bus.We just know how to have fun.Literally rolling on the floor laughing(thanks to the idiot Anita),competing to grab Nachos off the plate,watching Hairspray and squealing when Zac Efron came on screen,making stupid hamster jokes,among some of the things we did .I just love jalan raya with my girl gang.It's one of the things I really look forward to.I know the rest were just as excited as well.Don't get me wrong,I did have fun during the 3/3 jalan raya with my Tk friends, but it's just not the same.I mean,I've only known the girls in 3/3 for 3 years(with the exception of Syam) whereas the PRPS gang,we've got history.We've known each other for at least 5 years.The bond's already there.We're so used to each other and so comfortable with one another,it's like we've known each other forever.The last time I saw them was months ago but when we met up yesterday,it's like we were never apart at all,we fell into sync straightaway.These are the people I grew up with,there's no way in hell I can ever let that slide,forget about them just like that.It just won't happen.I pity those that do not keep in touch with their primary school friends.It's really sad.I don't know why people say that the friends you make in secondary school will be your friends for life.I think it starts in primary school.My primary school friends are my friends for life.When you've been through 6 years together,you can't just forget about them when you move on.Not for me at least.I'm glad for my girl gang.I don't know what I'd do without them.With O's next year,we might probably not get to jalan raya but we'll still go out,as a post-O Level celebration maybe.I know that no matter what happens,we'll always be friends for life.There's comfort in knowing that,especially when I'm having a really bad day or feeling down.

I don't have the rest of the pictures cause Zaf decides (of all times!) that she doesn't want to blog anymore and will send them pictures via email.So I'll have to wait for that.I know patience is a virtue and all that but I didn't say it was one of mine.

washing the sand off


scaring them with a dead crab,you can tell by Cher's face.haha


the dead crab!





Geography Field Studies trip to East Coast Park last Friday.It was a ball of a time.Though not much field study we did,but hell,we did go to the beach!


And school's finally out!I'm so exhilarated I can finally breathe a huge sigh of relief.No more worrying about being busted for not doing my homework,no more cutting the queue in the canteen to buy food,no more having to sit in class and count down the minutes to recess/going home,no more lugging my bag filled with useless books.Well at least not for now.I don't intend to even think about school til I have to go back,which is still a long time for now.And that's good.

To celebrate the end of school,Ain,Mega,Sharifah and I went to eat at Seoul Garden,Tampines Mall.I'd never eaten there before and I must say that I like the place.The food's good.There's just nothing better than celebrating post-school with a couple of your good friends,eating and talking and laughing.And prank-calling.That was a hoot,you just gotta have been there.I don't think Sharifah would want me publicising what we did.So I ain't saying no nothing.(:

A great end to a great year.And it really has been a good year this year.(This is where I get into my reflective mood so if it's too much for you to handle then say adieu)Granted there were the down moments,and there were quite a few.I got so mad and upset and just didn't really care about anything anymore.But no matter what happened,despite all the shite we went through,we came out stronger.Even OBS made us stonger and better people.I guess we learnt alot of things this year.We learnt to be stronger mentally and physically,we learnt to make new friends,we learnt to change old ways and adopt new ones,we learnt to accept each other more,accommodate each other,we learnt how to be friends and we learnt to have fun.I'd say my Sec 3 year was a really good one.I think I've grown much since last year.

I still remember vividly last year,we were all afraid to move on,to go into different classes and be apart.But we've done it and we made it,didn't we?And now we're going to be Sec FOUR.Our last year.I can't believe it's all coming to an end.The silly antics of my Sec 1 self are still fresh in mind and here I am,going to graduate in less than a year.Life is funny that way isn't it?When you start to enjoy yourself,everything's nearly over and you wish you could redo it all over again.So here's to a better year next year as Sec Fours,the best batch ever!

So let the party begin folks,school's out!

ONE more day til school ends.Officially,school has ended but cause I'm a Sec 3 student who'll be sitting for my O-Levels next year and yadda yadda yadda,I(like many other Sec 3 students I suppose) still have to go back to bloody school to study.Yeah,study.Seriously,who can study when all we're thinking of is what to do during the holidays,where to go,what movies to watch and not what we should study.I think the school should do everyone a huge favour and just let us out,non?Well it is just one day left,even though I have to stay back for extra Geog class to learn how to read maps.Do I need to learn how to read maps if say,I want to be a zookeeper?I hardly think so.Besides you don't need maps here.Singapore is small enough,you can never get lost.If you do,you're just plain stupid.Although I guess getting lost in a toilet is equally stupid if not stupider but hey let's not go there.

So as of now,the pathetic loser that I am,I'm counting down the hours to when I don't have to go back to school anymore.

SPEED 2 on tv tonight.No Keanu Reeves but still good nevertheless.

It's been so friggin cold this past few days.Why you ask?Cause you see,my class has the studio as homeroom for extended studies(we can't use our usual classrooms cause they're being used for O-Levels).So basically we spend the whole friggin day in the studio except the occasional period where we have to go to the lab or during recess.It's already cold outside cause it's raining and inside the studio,the aircons are blasting at 17 Degrees.Freezing much?It's been so cold my nose has actually started to peel!And we have the whole day in the studio tomorrow.Well except for last period when we're going to East Coast Park for Geography field studies.

Speed 1 showing on tv tonight.At least that makes up for the peeling nose(which is gross and hurts).Keanu Reeves.Keanu Reeves.Keanu Reeves.Keanu Reeves ohmygod.

The reality of O-Levels has finally sunk in.I always thought it'd be next time,not now but next time,a time far from now.But hell,with my seniors,people I know taking them right at this very moment and me taking by Biology and Chemistry SPAs as well as Malay,the reality has finally sunk in.I took the Biology SPA yesterday and Malay today.They were pretty okay though I was fretting so much.I can't even begin to imagine how I'll feel next year when I take the major papers like Math and Bio and Chem.And my O-Levels are in less than a year.That's bloody freaking fast.But I refuse to panic.Well not now at least.Next time.

Shayne Ward can not only sing,he can dance.Good Lord,how's a girl not to swoon?

MONDAY 22ND OCTOBER - Black Eyed Peas Concert.

It was totally awesome!The Click 5 did an amazing opening act.Though I think Kyle doesn't sound too good when he sings songs previously sung by Eric.Like when they played Just The Girl and Catch Your Wave,it just sounded different.Eric's voice is really high and Kyle's wasn't.Nevertheless,they were awesome.They went crazy on stage especially Kyle and Ben,jumping around everywhere and they got the crowd to stand up when they played Disco.They played for a full 40 minutes before Black Eyed Peas came on.And BEP played an hour extra.The concert was supposed to end at 10 but ended at 11 instead.They too were incredible.Fergie was so cute and Will.I.Am was so funny.He said and I quote " I love Singapore,I love how you can't litter,I love how you can't chew gum,I love how you have to smoke in enclosed areas" and so he went on.BEP sang songs from all their albums.Fergie sang her own songs and Will.I.Am sang his single I Got It From My Mama and Apl sang a Filipino song to which the Filipinos in the seats in front of us started dancing to and screaming along.Sheesh,some people.After the performance,Will.I.Am announced that the concert was over and walked off the stage.The stadium lights were all still off and I was kinda surprised.Everyone wondered how it could just end like that,some even started leaving.Others started chanting for an encore and then suddenly we heard the sound of a trumpet.And then the BEP came back on and sang Pump It,which starts out with the sound of the trumpet.And they sang 2 other songs before finally leaving.The concert was worth every 150 bucks I paid.I love the Black Eyed Peas and Click 5 even more now.My arms hurt from waving them around so much.

TUESDAY 23RD OCTOBER - 3/3 JALAN RAYA

We didn't have school cause it was Promotion Day.It was a pretty huge group,there were 14 of us.Xiao Qi came along,wearing Syam's baju kurung.She was Bedah bte Abdullah for the day.She actually went to kiss the hands of our moms and they were all shocked.It was hilarious especially when she decided she was hot and took off hte baju kurung and walked around in her shirt and shorts and still went to kiss the hands of the moms.She's so cute,she is.I'd say it was a great day.From camwhoring to crazy cab drivers to spilling food to gossiping on the bus to dying cameras to some people running down the stairs to press for the lift on each floor so that those of us who took the lift would have to stop at every freaking floor.Some of us left half way through and the whole jalan raya ended at around 10,having visited TWELVE houses.Beat that.Hannah was timekeeper and made sure we spent no more than half an hour at each house so that we could visit as many houses as possible.I still like going to Mdm Azizan's house.She's my favourite teacher in Tk.We met the girls from 3/9 there.Mdm Azizan's house has a really nice view and she had Hersheys Kisses!It was so loud and noisy and havoc,well there were 20 of us.And I was so tired when I got home especially since I only came back at midnight after the concert.I slept like a baby (:

One of my absolute favourite songs.It's cool how it can relate to nearly everything.

I am at home on the 3rd day of Eid,sitting in front of the computer and blogging.Yesterday on the 2nd day of Eid,I went out with my family to Orchard,where I got a free bottle of shampoo for coloured hair.Go figure.And on the 1st day of Eid,I went to my grandmother's house and two other houses and that was all the raya visiting I did.Now don't get me wrong.I absolutely love Eid.The whole lively atmosphere,being able to eat after fasting for a whole month,visiting relatives and spending the day with the people I love and of course the good food and money but that's a different story.I don't have much family that I'm really close to in Singapore.My family's everywhere,mostly in Malaysia and since Eid doesn't fall during the school holidays like it used to in previous years,I don't get to do much visiting.And I don't know,it makes me pretty sad that I don't celebrate Eid with as much vigour and enthusiasm as I used to.I want to but I just don't get to.This year,most of the fasting month was during my exam period so I didn't get to savour that as well and then WHAM,Eid.And it really sucks that we still have to go back to school for at least 3 more weeks by which Eid would be over and I can't go raya-visiting with my friends.And what's sadder is that the spirit of Eid is dying,slowly,whether you accept it or not.Of course there are those that are always psyched about it but everyone's so busy with work and school now.Lesser people are sending out Raya cards,even lesser people are hanging out raya lights.It's just sad when you think about it.I miss the Eid celebrations when I was younger.Then,Eid always fell during the holidays and since most of my family's in Malaysia,naturally that's where my family always went.Eid was really happy and loud and noisy and I loved every minute of it cause my family's really huge and whacky and everyone's just really fun.One Eid,my whole family on my dad's side drove in a convoy from KL to Penang where we all bunked in my grandfather's house,and the abandoned house next door.Another Eid at my great-grandmother's house,my dad set off a firecracker and my cousins and I screamed when it exploded,having never heard one before living in Singapore where sadly firecrackers are banned.The same Eid, at my uncle's house,my cousins and I went up and down the street playing with sparklers in the night and on Eid morning,kids from the neighbouring houses would go to each house for food and money.It was so simple and yet fun.And I miss all of that.And I can't do that anymore now.Maybe we've all grown up or maybe we just don't have the time.I think it's more the latter cause night before Eid my cousins and I played with sparklers but anyway,I just wish Eid would fall during the holidays again or that we don't have to go to school after Eid.I can't do anything about it but I'll always treasure the really good Eid celebrations of previous years and hope those of the coming years would hopefully come as close.Eid this year,for the one day I celebrated it,was good.I got a fairly good amount of money and well,I did spend the day with the people I love most and I'm still waiting for pictures from Shereen.

So here's to a joyous Eid to those who are still celebrating.May you have all the fun and joy that I wish I could have.

You Are Best Described By...

From the Lake, No. 1 by Georgia O'Keeffe

I'm bored and I think The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants is awesome.I've read all four books and watched the first movie and am eagerly awaiting the second one.If you haven't read it,you should.I admit the concept of a pair of pants fitting 4 girls of different shapes and sizes seems loopy but look past that and you'll get a great story of friendship.Or maybe I love it so cause it reminds me of my very own sisterhood,with Zaf,Moo and Hanis.It's awesome seriously,unless you still think the whole pants-fitting-4-girls is silly.All I can say is,your loss dude.

Check out this song.Bailamos by Enrique Iglesias,my current earworm.I like songs that are Latin/Spanish-infused.Bailamos would be an example.Tu Amor by RBD is another.I think the infusion makes the song cooler,not to mention sexier.I mean Hips Don't Lie is pretty awesome,non? And tell me Enrique Iglesias isn't sexy.



Just tell me he isn't sexy.(You're not supposed to say he isn't and if you do,I'm gonna beat you up.I swear)

Okay so maybe my spur-of-the-moment-decision to cut my hair wasn't all that.I miss my long hair.I can't even braid my hair now.I mean I can but then all this hair bits would stick out.I shall really wait for my hair to grow out this time,patiently.But I don't actually mind my short hair.At least I don't sweat like a pig as Ain does,good lord.And anyway,change is good,non?

Kapoor,Mega,Ellai and I went to Parkway on the last day of school cause Kapoor and I wanted to buy tickets for the BEP concert,which Click 5 is opening for!Now I've got something to look forward to,besides Eid of course.Hanis won't go to the concert,I don't know about Moo and Zaf is still working on her folks.I can't believe Shuyin has passes to meet Click 5.She won some contest and got them darn passes.Damn.

And so the exams are finally O-V-E-R over.My one week break,due to my not sitting for any more papers and the marking days,began yesterday.I went out.I was bored.And so I cut my hair.Again.Previously I wanted to curl it and so I was waiting for it to grow long.But I got tired of waiting and so I decided to just cut my hair anyway.Which just really goes to show you how restless and easily bored I get.Oh but this one week break will definitely not bore me.There are plans to go out tomorrow.And I've got a whole bunch of newly-bought CDs that I haven't yet watched.And I've got the books I just borrowed from the library(yes I'm a geek,I know) and then there's Season 3 and 4 of One Tree Hill to watch online.So I'd say my one week is pretty occupied.Well-deserved break?Oh hell yeah.

I guess it's kinda good that we start our exams early cause then we finish early as well.When we started studying (albeit last-minute), others were still mucking around.And now when we're mucking around,they're going through hell.Like Zaf,Moo and Hanis are having their exams right now.As much as I'd love to rub it in their faces that I'M DONE,I shall instead wish them the best of luck.So here's to those still studying and having exams,good luck!While you're at that,I shall go watch tv now.Hmmm what shall I watch? (:

Have I mentioned post-exams is the absolute bomb?(I'm sorry,I can't help gloating)

Anyone has any movies to lend me?I want to spend the one week break I have wasting away at home watching movies.Speed especially.I'm in love with Keanu Reeves.

So TELL ME if you have any movies.

Snapple Real Fact #107

You burn more calories than you do watching TV


Did ya know that?So I just sleep all day and lose weight? A very good reason to sleep in.

Shall not amuse the common folk with my daily musings for awhile,not till after I taste the sweet taste of liberation(for those of you slow idiots,til after my exams).So long til then!

Indonesia got struck by earthquakes yesterday.The magnitudes were so great that even Singapore felt it.People like Yan and Dai Ling actually got to feel it.Call me a sick freak but I've always wanted to feel a tremor.I think it's cool,to feel the ground shaking.Today,first period,Geography class.It was around 7.53 in the morning and I was trying to pay attention to Mrs Khoo when I suddenly felt dizzy.I thought I must have been so tired and sleepy that I was actually swaying,I even thought I might have gone bonkers.Then suddenly the class got so noisy,Mrs Khoo was trying to shut us up and I got annoyed at the commotion when suddenly Dai Ling shouted "Tremors!Tremors!" And that got us all excited.I was pretty disappointed that I didn't feel anything but then I remembered the wave of dizziness I had and brightened up immediately.The class was abuzz with everyone recounting what they felt,some tables were even shaking.I was still feeling dizzy half an hour after the shaking stopped.I figured it was a new earthquake that struck and not a tremor as Dai Ling had screamed cause the fact that we felt it means it was pretty big.I got home and asked my mum and true enough,there was an earthquake this morning,registering 8.3 on the Richter scale.I didn't experience a tremor,I experienced an earthquake.WAY awesome.

French Oral yesterday wasn't that awesome though.I'd like to say it was easy but it wasn't really.But it wasn't I-thought-I-was-going-to-die difficult either.I mean I understood the questions and could more or less say what I wanted to.Out of so many people who were supposed to take the oral,only a few of us showed up.The teachers were literally begging for students to test,according to Zaf and Moo since I arrived later.(So maybe they'll give us marks for actually showing up!)Originally my test time was at 5.10 but I took it at 4 instead what with nobody around.And afterward,Zaf,Moo,Syaf and I went to eat at the hawker centre in J8.They got a shock at what a picky eater I am.Syaf actually choked on her chendol(which I can't stand).They were talking about food and I didn't know/like nearly everything they talked about,nasi rawan,nasi amber,air kathira and what-have-you.If you don't already know,I'm probaly one of the pickiest eaters around.I'm part Indian but I cannot stand Indian food,especially thosai,I'll throw up.I don't exactly like Malay food either.And when I go to Macs,I order a cheeseburger and use the pickle to scrape out the onions(which I don't ever eat unless they're mashed up and I can't see it all)I don't eat ice kacang or cup corn or eclairs and I don't even like Milo(much to Hannah's chagrin)and well it's a pretty long list but it's not like I'm starving or anything,I mean I'm still alive aren't I?Syaf insists that I'm being deprived of good food.I beg to differ.I hardly think I'm being deprived at all.I mean there's pasta and nachos and pizza and lasagne and of course there's chocolates. That's what you call good food!


I would fall asleep
Only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like it was before
But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go

Lifehouse is good.

I'm probably going to get sick again.It's that time of the year where people start doing their burning and the smoke and ash irritate my nose so.Every morning I start sneezing like an idiot and my nose will start running and it all adds up to Tasneem not feeling very good.See I'm allergic to dust.I took an allergy test 5 years ago before an operation and found out I'm allergic to dust,cats,dogs,COCKROACHES(even more the reason to hate those small scary black things).My allergy reaction isn't so bad where I puff up like J Lo in Monster-In-Law after she accidentally ate peanuts.When I come in contact with dust,like when my dad made my clean up my room last Saturday,I start sneezing,like an idiot(I swear I can sneeeze 10 times in a row) and then my eyes will get all watery and well,it isn't a pretty sight.And the part that sucks is it'll last the whole day and drag on til the next.My nose, after it gets runny,it'll get stuffed up.Once I had a blocked nose and we were having Biology practical in the lab.We were supposed to heat something for an experiment and I already did and had gone on to the next experiment.Suddenly Mr Peh came around,alarmed cause someone's bunsen burner wasn't switched off and the poisonous gas was diffusing everywhere.And I was going "Which idiot wants us all killed?" and then Mr Peh came to my table and I was the idiot who hadnt turned the bunsen burner off!It had been left on for more than 5 minutes at least and I swear I couldn't smell a thing.Who knew something stupid and trivial like a blocked nose could be so fatal eh?I can just see the headlines, SCHOOL GIRLS DIE IN LAB FIRE DUE TO BUNSEN BURNER LEFT ON BY GIRL WHO COULDN'T SMELL TOXIC GAS. Now that's a headline.
