Random subject title once again. It's been long since I posted ANYTHING, but that's because I'm really busy. I know that's a stupid excuse, but it's true! *insists*
For the past few weeks, I have realised something. It's not like I've never realised that "something" before, but whatever that had happened for the last few weeks were shocking enough and reinforced that "something". People change very quickly. When people seem to change, it does not mean that it is THEM who changed, it may be me, seeing them from a different angle. Also, the people may not even have changed the slightest bit. It's just that, they probably suppressed their inner desires and suddenly they decided to let it all out and scare the world.
Sudden changes in people's actions and beliefs, leads to more changes in OTHER people's thoughts. In this case, I belong to the other people. I don't even know if the radical transformation of the peopole around me is beneficial or not. I'm thankful that some people have finally shown the friendlier, kinder side of them. On the other hand, I am quite disappointed to see the childish and foolish side of others. Don't they know that such changes frustrate the plans of certain people (which includes me in it)! Damn it, I can't really divulge everything, type in their names here and mention what exactly is happening. Grarrrrh. But it's making me confused and annoyed, really.
Oh by the way, I'm so excited about what's going to happen today because there's Jap Club phototaking and Jap hiphop! Which reminds me....50 mins left for me to rot at home before going to school. Bleh.
You aren't afraid to delve head first into a difficult subject, with mastery as your goal.
You are talented at adapting, motivating others, managing resources, and analyzing risk.
What is Valentine's Day anyway? People contributing to the income of sellers and producers of flowers, chocolates, teddy bears, cards, etc. That's what first came inot my mind. On Valentine's Day, humans are compelled to follow rituals. They buy gifts for their lovers and friends and if you do not follow this norm, you are an outcast and a loser.
Why only show immense affection just on this day? Shouldn't true love come unscheduled? Suddenly people exchange gifts, go out on dates, help one another do stuff and make Citylink really crowded to the extent that I have to wait for so long just to get seats in New York New York.
Don't tell me I'm an anti-love activist. I'm not.
Let me evaluate this whole thing about relationships and how it relates to me.
To be honest, I don't think that this is a good time to have a relationship. Studying is seriously more important. Maybe it's not that a pressing issue to you, but it is for me. My current equilibrium has no room for the need to entertain another person. I go to school, I study (the syllabus and OUT OF THE SYLLABUS), I interact with friends and family and I enjoy the greenery in Melville Park. I don't make time for another person. Honest. I've planned my schedule and painstakingly achieved this equilibrium. So, I don't want to spoil it. Just like what we've learn in Chemistry, according to the Le Chatelier's Principle, the system will adjust itself to counter the change. The reaction that removes the change will be favoured. Similarly, if you add a guy to my life (in the romance sector), the actions leading to the removal of the guy will be favoured!
However, I think I MAY be able to squeeze time for someone that doesn't need much attention or someone that can be with me most of the time without making any special plans, eg. in school, lives in Simei, in the library. But still, I'm not actively seeking for love. I guess I don't put down romance at the very top of my priority list. Another reason would be the quality of guys. *stop the bashing already* There aren't many detestable males around, but the ones I see most of time are enough to KILL. Damn it. I need a marked change in environment.
Love, sex or money?
Hmmm, I want my audio books please. And Jessica needs a study group!
I'm so uninspired, that's why I couldn't really bring myself to blog. It's not as if I'm very inspired now. Damn it! I need a very significant event, something groundbreaking, earth-shattering and epoch-making. I wanted to write an unorthodox guide to JC life, but I'd just get bashed my at least 60% of the population of JC students! The 60% includes people from a certain department (ahem), people who don't click with me (my friends would totally know what kind of people these people are) and jocks. I don't like jocks. I'm serious.
My birthday is coming. 4th April.
Okay fine it isn't arriving anytime soon, BUT V DAY IS AROUND THE CORNER! I really want some good books. I found 3 very interesting books as I was reading some other books.
#Book 1: Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
It discusses about thin-slicing, our ability to gauge what is really important from a very narrow period of experience. Our ability to thin-slice can be corrupted by our likes, dislikes, prejudices and steoreotypes and I happen to find this very relevant in my life. ARGH I WANT THIS BOOK. Dont' people buy books for one another during Valentine's Day?
#Book 2: Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health
This book talks about how we, as human beings, suck. Okay kidding. It actually tells us how to get rid of insecurities and unwanted feelings like disappointment and frustration. All of us have a reactive mind and an analytical mind. The reactive mind is the one that causes us to feel the emotions that are not needed in human survival. Thus, we should get rid of that reactive mind, attaining the state of "clear". Interesting indeed.
#Book 3: Dianetics: THe Evolution of a Science
This is pretty similar to book 2, since both books are written by the same author and are talking about relatively similar issues, like how we are enslaved by our reactive mind. This book is cheaper but I don't really care. I want both!!!!!!
Placed among the clouds
The globule of vivific
Peeked through the darkness
To write down about the year, firstly, I have to dish out some stuff that happened and are worth some honourable mention. After thinking for some time, there seem to be very little!
In this year, I've made some friends, and I've gotten myself a god brother! Whooo David Lau from 08S30 from fencing! LOL. I'd also remember my best friend from PAE, Stephanie! Although she could not stay in VJ for JAE, but I believe that she's doing good in AJ. At least she got to go to THIMUN when I was still blur about what that is. Why is there no Model United Nations in VJ? If there is, the publicity is really horrible. It's great that my friendship with Stephanie did not end after PAE. I pray that we can be friends forever, and that she would invite me to her wedding in the future! Everyone! DO INVITE ME TO YOUR WEDDING. I DERIVE JOY FROM GIVING ANGBAOS. FOR THE RIGHT PURPOSES.
Also, I have to mention about Lynn, Jaslene and Nadia! =DDDDD We're the bao and milo + pearl gang LOL. Not forgetting Sarah Tan and Atiqah! If Annabelle didn't come to VJ, I wouldn't have known them. And their CT rep as well!
This is also the year where people started paying attention to my face analyser skills. Besides, it is also the year when I finally can attend a sleepover party after so many years of fighting with atopic dermatitis! This is also the year where I had the most depressing moments, but thank the Good Lord that there are events that saved my life. Phew! Thank God that I joined Japanese Club, and found another bright corner in my dark world in VJ. Thank God for the uber friendly and amazingly nice members of the warm and cosy Japanese Club and really thank God that I can do something for the club. Thank God for the President, as she's able to appreciate my creative brain juices. =)
Furthermore, in 2008, I actually felt that I was the female version of Wei Xiao Bao. For all those who do not know who he is, he is this guy who has 7 wives. I didn't have 7 boyfriends or what, I merely had 2 major crushes on two pretty different guys. I didn't like one more than the other, HONEST! I couldn't really decide on who I really liked. Bleh D:
The coolest thing I've had this year would definitely be my attachment to SGH. I really missed the people there. TT_T Half of the people there were probably on a different frequency as I but hey, there's the other half! I do hope that I can see them soon. Oh and they hardly ever go online, except for Vanessa, Brena and Ailin. Go online already!
So, I guess I can say that 2008 is rather eventful (it's still 2008 now!). I hope that 2009 would be better. I would like more time to study and pursue my interests, so I secretly hope that certain activities and just stop asap. But that's not going to happen. Hurhur. ~~_~ I look forward to graduating, and I want to see all my friends in NUS with me! That's impossible, since Annabelle is intending to go to SMU to take up accountancy. Grrr. Anyway, YLLSOM, HERE I COME!
Actually, I don't even know what I can talk about, regarding guys. Hurhur. Let me just focus on JC guys. Many people have told me that VJC guys are hot. Looking at them for 10 months, I don't really find that statement true. Most VJ guys don't really have nice features, but at least they're still okay to look at. Not to mention that VJ guys are really short, which makes them look as if they....had the failure to thrive. I seldom see tall male victorians, unless you're talking about Martin.
I believe that hairstyles determine whether a guy can look good or not. A hot guy with a broken bird nest hairstyle is still ugly. Since VJ is a school with lots of play, I guess that guys can afford to spend time fixing their hair in the toilet for 10 hours. Besides that, VJ's school uniform is quite nice. At least the colour is decent. I find the uniforms of certain JCs pretty disgusting due to the colour. You know, like the original ghastly shade of green from *insert sch name yourself* and the horrifying blue from two JCs, *really insert the two names yourself* The guys from these schools are probably at a disadvantage because their school uniform is so unflattering! If you see any hot guys from these three JCs, they must be really hot then.
Hence, I think that it's unfair to compare guys from different JCs. In my opinion, it's better to compare guys within a JC as there would be lesser changing variables. A guy from MJC can be really stressed from all the mugging that pimples start spawning like no tomorrow. Since he has to mug (I heard that MJC gives tests as if they're free, then again they're really free), he would probably have no time to care about his hair. Compared to a VJC guy with no upcoming tests, the poor MJC guy would be at the bottom of the hotness thermometer. Now, let's compare the guys from two random schools, HCI and SAJC. The guy SAJC would be able to deceive the eyes of people into believing that he looks better because his uniform is damn chio! You have to admit, SAJC's uniform is rocking. Unless the guy from HCI is smoking hot and the guy from SAJC has no good features at all, I feel that most people would be swayed into thinking that the guy from SAJC is hotter.
Hotness can also be defined differently by different people. A girl in VJC may find smart guys hot (wow, that sounds like me. HMMMM.), so she'd see guys from RJC and HCI as being hot. Also, she would find guys from SRJC and YJC super chao ji not hot. I'm not trying to offend guys from SRJC and YJC, but according to the cut off points....yeah you know. To be honest, I have no idea if YJC is the 2nd last or what. Or is it JJC or IJC. Ahh grarrh bleah.
OKAY, so, do not compare the hotness of guys between JCs. It is unfair. If you really want to compare, do it the face analyzer way. Look at the features. I find that the guys in VJ don't have many good features, thus they're not majorly hot. However, they do have at least 1 nice feature, thus they still look presentable. BUT I HAVE SEEN GUYS IN VJ WITH NO DECEN
There was supposed to be a post-attachment party but it was a total fiasco. There were people, including myself, who didn't know anything about the existence of such a party. This shows how inefficient (or even pathetic) the messengers are. It's not a good thing that the party flopped, because I still wanted to talk to my new friends and the other people that I've never really talked to. Furthermore, there's no point organising another party now or in the future because we wouldn't really miss each other anymore. If we're fated, we'd probably meet again. Two of my new friends, Brena and Ailin, were at Science Focus as well. According to Ailin, since we met at Science Focus, and then met each other again during attachment, we would most likely bump into each other on many other occasions. Also, when I went for the NUS Interview Workshop last week, I met Sherry. xDDDDDDDDDD
For the past many days, I've also watched a Japanese drama, Liar Game, online. The plot is awesooooooome. It really shows how evil humans can get, and how smart people use their IQ to hurt others. Throughout the 11 episodes, I kept thinking about the Nash Equilibrium OO_O. Okay I'm weird. I can't really talk much about the show because I'd be giving a lot of spoilers. Just go watch it people. I've recommended this show to Eric and Yee Wei. Eric told me he would rather watch shows that show humans being nice and caring to each other. * I have nothing to comment about this ~~_~ * But Yee Wei watched it though. =) AND SHE AGREES WITH ME THAT REN XIN XIAN E.
Yesterday, I went back to VJ to do some CIP. It's really funny that most people decided to donate milo. We collected a total of 19 milo tins, 60 humongous packets of milo powder and 60 packets of liquid milo. People can really donate other things you know, like milk, coffee, tea, whatever. Most people were really kind as they donated a lot of BRAND NEW items. These people made me look evil, I swear.
Now it's time to check more emails and read more random stuff. I wish I have something productive to do.
Antm Cycle 11 is over and I am not happy. I was seldom happy about Tyra's choice of the winner, the only winners that I liked were Naima and Danielle. For cyce 11, I bet that Tyra already picked Mckey to be her winner right from the start, like any other cycles. I don't hate Mckey, but I liked Analeigh and Sheena more. Mckey seems like a block of wood from the start of this cycle, but she got cooler at the end. She has the high fashion look and the awesome bone structure, but her runway walk was not to die for. She should just be a photo model because her pictures were great. I can't imagine her doing Covergirl Commercials as well, since she doesn't have a bubbly personality and doesn't "spew rainbows incessantly"(quote from Jenah, Cycle 9).
I liked Sheena the best because of her attitude. She is very optimistic, and sticks up for people as well. When the other girls were bullying Isis, she defended Isis and made me wanna vote for her as president (haha). Sheena takes beautiful pictures, despite her call out averages. Somehow , the judges made it sound as if the pictures were some passer-by photos that don't show a model. I think the pictures do! She looked very graceful and elegant on her hot air balloon picture! I didn't even like Marjorie's hot air balloon shot. =/ Her swimsuit shot was soft in the right way, her fierce eyes shot was damn intense (she should have been called 2nd, with Lauren Brie being first) and her natural disaster shot was good I swear. I have no idea why she was in the bottom 3! She should have been called out earlier than Lauren Brie! For that shot, Sheena showed her dress! It's not good for models to cover their outfits or anything right? Elina and Samantha totally blocked off their mod dresses. ~~_~ Sheena also has a nice runway walk and is capable of doing a commercial. I thought her Covergirl Commerical was better than Analeigh's because it was very natural. I could still tell that Analeigh planned each and every step. I wanted Sheena to win but I knew she wouldn't because the judges didn't seem to be in love with her.
Analeigh should have won. After Sheena left, I was rooting for Analeigh. Analeigh can be a very successful catalogue and commercial model because of her bright personality. She doesn't seem like the type of models that would do couture. She started off really bad in this cycle, with the judges constantly reminding her that she has to do better because of her skating talents. That's bullshit. What has skating got to do with modelling?! I don't think skaters would have any extra creativity for model poses! ANALEIGH SHOULD HAVE WONNNNNNNNNN. She has the best runway walk out of the final 3. If the contestant can't walk, she can't be a model. This means that Samantha shouldn't be a model unless her runway walk improved by leaps and bounds.
Analeigh was the first to be eliminated on the finale, which pissed me off greatly. ANALEIGH WAS ROBBED. But I'm sure that she would be more successful than Mckey and Samantha. The final 2 for this cycle had the worst walks ever. The best one was in Cycle 4, with Naima and Kahlen. The finale runway in Cycle 4 was also the coolest. The one for Cycle 11 was okay looking but the fashion show itself was so boring! If the runway was so candyland, the designer should design something that suits that candyland theme! If the person who designed the runway knew that the designer's clothes look really boring (I think the clothes are boring and ugly, sorry designer), then don't make a unique runway! It sucks when the runway and the clothes don't even complement each other.
After the runway, Mckey and Samantha went back to the judging panel and Tyra was standing in a really ugly outfit that looks like Science Gone Wrong 2008. At the final evaluation, the judges would always compare the pictures of the final 2 contestants. This cycle was no exception, with the judges comparing Samantha's and Mckey's pictures side by side. THERE WAS NO NEED FOR THEM TO DO SO AS M
WHEN WILL ANTM EVER MAKE ME HAPPY???
I detest most of the winners anyway.
In Cycle 3, Yaya should have won because Eva looks like a pig (stated by the judges) and is way too short to be a model. Yaya had prettier pictures and better posing skills. Furthermore, I loved her diva attitude. If you hate umeboshi, then don't eat it! Stupid judges, forcing people to eat things that they don't like. ~~_~
In Cycle 5, Nik should have won. I don't like Nicole. =/
In Cycle 7, Melrose should have won. Caridee can't walk for nuts! Melrose isn't a bitch you know. She's merely determined and focused and loves Twiggy A LOT. The case about her badmouthing Anchal is rubbish. She said that Anchal is pretty but she's not working it. Anchal should use her pretty to take outstanding pictures. She thought that Anchal would be a strong competitor but as the days go by, she felt that Anchal isn't as strong as she seems. HOW IS THAT BITCHING? Zz. Isn't Jaeda worse, saying that Anchal is fake. This cycle had the most number of modelesque contestants. I LOVED AJ and she should have made it far in the competition. Tyra is a cuckoo for choosing Jaeda over her.
Cycle 8 ~~_~ I don't really like this cycle. Both Jaslene and Natasha had speech problems and Renee's too much of a bitch.
In Cycle 9, I don't really know who should have won but I supported Lisa, Heather and Jenah. Heather belongs to couture as she can't do commercial because of her awkwardness. BUT SHE'S SUCH AN ANGEL! Lisa and Jenah are really fierce! Saleisha can go and die and Chantal's really weak. With Saleisha and Chantal walking for the finale runway, Saleisha would seem superior. If it was Jenah in the finals instead of Chantal, Saleisha would be shit.
In Cycle 10, Katarzyna should have won. She's smart, beautiful, takes great pictures and walks like a diva. Anya looked like an albino (thanks to Tyra) and fortunately, her hair is back to being brown! Anya is sweet but she's really dumb. Whitney is not the best plus sized model on the show and she's hating on all the skinny girls! How irritating. Die Whitney die. Oh and Whiteney was super fake during the cycle 11 finale episode.
I should start preparing for my other stuff. -stops writing-
Something random first. My brother totally sat on my indemnity form! Thank the good Lord the paper is just a little crumpled. Phew.
From this incident of offending people (sounds strange but heck), I can actually learn and observe many things. This is something good, because I still get something out of this horrible event. I remember ANTM Cycle 4 Episode 8 (I think it's 8) having a photoshoot, where the top 7 girls had to portray one of the 7 deadly sins. Kahlen (my favourite) had to portray wrath. I thought wrath was the easiest to portray. Gluttony is way tough imo. From my previous blog entries and those entries from my previous blog, it doesn't take a genius to figure out the wrath is MY DEADLIEST sin.
When I write about such stuff, I get haters and supporters. Supporters will call the haters "jerks" or something along that line. But I'm a jerk too right? I just wrote the stuff I wanted to talk about, and hurled expletives as if there's no tomorrow. I think I really need to get rid of the wholesome four-letter word that starts with F out of my mind. Also, I want to apologise. I want to apologise to those that are just, impartial, unbiased people, who felt offended by my blog posts.
The web is misleading. People perceive your words differently. What you think you're trying to show, may not be detected by others. They may even misunderstand you. I was told that, I did not do any self reflection, on why I became an OGL reject. To be honest, I did. I didn't state that fact on my blog, doesn't mean that I didn't do any self reflection. I thought about it for really long on 8th Nov. I cried as well. That's not something to be proud of acutally. ~~_~ The reason why I think I am not an OGL, was revealed on the day of my interview as well. I am just too straightforward. I told the interviewers that I'm not a faker. I see no point in being fake! If I hate someone, I'm not going to act as if I'm in love with him/her! I'd still respect that person and be civil. I would not purposely put myself in situations where I have to see that person a long periods of time, or even cooperate with that person. If I had to work with a person I detest, the only thing I can do is to bear with it. I swear I'm used to tolerating. I guess the interviewers were afraid that I would scare the freshies away because I don't give politically correct answers. I do know some fakers who got ino OGL. Isn't it realy tough to be someone you're not? I wonder.
I was also told that I didn't consider the fact that student-selected events and teacher-selected events have different criteria. I did. Most criteria are the same. There're only a few that have been changed to suit the event. Most events require participants to be passionate, driven, and focused. Being inspiring and determined are essential as well. I guess I'm all except for inspiring. But hey, I had inspired Josiah and Yong Wei to love science even more! Sometimes, both types of events consider the results of the applicants. For example, if your results were atrocious, you would probably have difficulties in coping with an additional commitment, and thus, there's no way you can join the event. Being an OGL requires one to be spontaneous and hyper, which I believe I am, because the interviewers told me I was the most enthusiastic they've seen for the day. So I don't think I'm that lousy as an applicant.
I am not the only one what is unhappy and shocked about the selection results. There are others as well, whom I am not going to mention because they expressed their feelings to me, not to the whole world. Moreover, if I mentioned their names, they may encounter confrontations by random councillors, which I do not want. I agree that I have to reflect on my actions, but I feel that, the councillors should reflect on....whether if there is biasedness. But I believe that there are dispassionate leaders.
Things that I've learned:
1. When fighting with monsters, do make sure I do not become one.
I became one before I even fought. That's really bad Jessica. Please control that temper. According to my dad, my granny AND my mummy are just like me. I must break this raging shrew tendencies of all females in my family.
2. The web is seriously misleading.
Is there anything I can do about it? But it's better to talk to people before posting anything on public domains.
3. Channel my rage into doing somethng productive.
I've done housework today. My maid must be really happy.
4. Act like my dad. Harness the power of the Law of Attraction and remind myself of the people that I want to be like.

My life is too boring nowadays, that's why I didn't blog much for the past few days (weeks). But this cannot happen seriously, when one has a blog, one should update frequently.
Today marks the end of PW. I guess I'm supposed to cheer. omgwowyayyyy ~~_~
I've totally done nothing interesting for the past few days! The most enjoyable thing that I've actually done is probably crash Changi Rise with my cell group. Changi Rise owns Melville Park I tell you. The swimming pools in Changi Rise have sand in them and it's damn nice to walk on the sand. *beatific smile* The pools with sand in them aren't exactly deep and I can walk in them without getting myself wet. Maybe because of my long legs. But that's basically it. I crashed Changi Rise. Zz. MY LIFE IS TOO BORING ALREADY! HELP!
Besides being boring, I got a bit of good luck! I got selected for my hospital sttachment and Singapore General Hospital! It was tough competition I guess, many people fighting for 4 places. My name was the last one on the list and I was hugging my bolster in despair when I realised that the first three names aren't mine. When I saw the last row, it said "Ee Siqing 08S32". I was like, "IT'S ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S ME!!!!!!!!!! IT'S EE SIQING 08S32!"
I hope my good luck and help me in certain areas like OGL and SYF. I do hope I get in. PICK ME PEOPLE. I wonder that's what McCain and Obama did when they were campaigning. Congratulations to Barack for winning. This made me thought of something actually, did people vote for him just because he is.......
black?
more handsome?
more charismatic?
a better speaker?
a Democrat?
Being a good speaker is important, but that doesn't really equate to being capable. Good speaker = relate to other ministers or some random foreign ambassadors better but good speaker =/= think better, come up with solutions more efficiently, caring about interests of the general Americans.....
I know a lot of people are supporting Obama. But I wonder if they really know why they are supporting him. Some people are supporting him because they claim that they are more of a Democrat. Do they really know the differences between the Democrats and the Republicans? Most people just feel that Democrats are the liberal people. That's all. If they actually analysed every detail about both parties, they may even find themselves to be more of a Republican. Zz. Some people are so blind.
Maybe Obama used the Law of Attraction. My dad loves to talk about that. The world is like a catalogue. All you have to do is to place your order and pay for it. The price of the things that you order, is inspired action. When people order through a catalogue, they feel as if they have the items already, since the items are going to be shipped/mailed out anyway. They do not repeatedly order the same item and they get on with their lives after placing an order. They do not keep themselves preoccupied with those stuff that they ordered.
This is bascially like our universe. We ask for what we want and then take inspired action. The universe will shift itself, to bring us what we want. How the universe is going to do that is none of our concern, all we're interested is in the end product. Just like a catalogue. We're not interested in the minute details, we are only in love with the end product. One very important thing in the Law of Attraction is to believe that the item is already yours. If not, it will never happen. Most people always miss out on this step. Hmmmm.
Okay I totally have nothing to blog about. ~~_~ Stephanie is the best for believing that I can be a great ogl!
