Dream a Little Dream of Me

we can burn
brighter than the sun

introduction

hello, wherever you are

SINGAPORE - LONDON

Mostly, I am Violet.
Sometimes, I float around aimlessly and pretend to be weird.
Then I realise that's still being Violet, and human.
So Hi there, I'm Violet, a Human. Nice to meet you *friendly handshake*

today is my slack day and sit down on the floor day. because of that, i drank alot of soya bean milk in reality and ate alot of soyabean icecream from mr bean in my dreams.

i think everyone is beginning to get the post-holidays-pre-concerts stress, and everyone is showing this in various ways. some people eat alot, some people dont eat (or in some revealing cases, cannot eat), some people scream and some people shout. some people cry and some people pout. (this is such a cool jingle rhyming thing it can go on the ad for some help hotline)

the best solution is to get rid of all this stress by talking nonsense.

Okay I am extremely worried.
Save for my slackerass of a CCA Batch, everyone else seems to have engaged in a certain form of studying this holidays.

grawrrr so i tried to differentiate like, something 15 minutes ago and it's still at dy/dx = _______, uh nothing. then i just realised we have to uh, explore electrochemistry on our own. this is awesome i think when i grow up i will be a chemistry teacher. or a biology teacher. i'll win at life cause i dont need to do anything other than pms, get married and uh, enjoy staff benefits.

oh but then i can only do that when i am like, past 30. young teachers have to slog their guts out for the school. okay, i will go volunteer at worldfinals and sell merchandise. or design pins for singapore cause they always look so good. or join some NGO to stop featherless chicken mutants from being produced. srzly, chickens without feathers arent chickens!?!

but in spite of everything, thank goodness for om. i wont ever trade anything for the entire 3years experience esp. this year's, even all that shit that came along with it. i would give so much for om all over again but i guess we've got to learn how to let go some day.

kkz good to know that but that day isnt going to come soon. violetlee get some work done before holidays end in about 6hours. i really need to grow taller soon.

/edit 10th june/ WINNERZ. I just unearthed a Xanga Account which i probably created in my dreams cause the user name is fricken stupid: amazonforest. ?!wth?! okay so uh, i can read xanga's which enabled signinlock yay. oh & since the mother is away in HK i washed my own dirty clothes using the washing machine and it has been making strange noises ever since, it's quite disturbing really. i havent slept and i'm going to find a way to get myself to PSB chalet i dont know how. /edit -the washing machine just stopped making noises O: -/

(why did i foolishly start the stupid animal-title thing, it's like challenging me. rawr.)

I am back, with a 17.25 kg luggage, and I am happy.
In Maryland this year, I ate more raw mushrooms than i ever did in the 15 years of my life. I talked to many people and it was great deal of fun. I love the Buddy Team (& their performance was great). We thrashed the lvl2 common room then cleaned up for like hours. There was plenty of free entertainment and I laughed, uh, a lot. I got my building of 318 blocks on Tower Bloxx (super deluxe whatever). I gave up pin-trading, turned to looking at pins + giving them away and started talking to myself.

Performance was great. The judges didnt laugh as much as I hoped. SRZLY THEY DIDNT LAUGH AT LIKE ANYTHING. NOT EMALE, NOT NOSE KNOWS, NOT UH THE MILLIONS OF LAME CC BCC ETC. I WAS SO DEMORALISED I COULD CRYYY. (okay they laughed at the eccentric number 1 thing super loudly that was quite shocking too)

BUT YAYYY, I LOVED THE PERFORMANCE IT WAS THE BEST THING WE EVER DID. I AM SO EXCITED THINKING ABOUT IT IM RANTING LIKE A BABY.

:D :D :D Award ceremony was awesome. We were all nervous + nailbiting + sweaty + needing to pee + laughing at nothing + praying for hours and hours and hours. & i was so nervous i got a stomachache which was 100% psychological and i thought i needed to pee like, 815792 times. Then we got announced and we are second in the world i was so so so so so omg happy and i still am. I honestly didnt even care whether or not acs got like champs or not, no kidding i even half wished they were champs cause i'd like singapore to win and they did. and the wheels of the bus group won too everybody is happy for them cause they are very good. (& i only watched their rehearsal.) i realised that the ac-rg rivalry doesnt mean half an emale to me at all. :D i am not a sore loser cause i am not a loser at all i am a winner i got a silver omggg.

IF ONLY THINGS ENDED THAT WAY. but it didnt. i really wanted to come back and gush about how happy i am with my very last OM experience, but i couldnt. im so fricking upset i am crying in front of a computer screenim going to mope in small font. D:

so we screwed up. we got second in the world and everyone was so so happy but people have to be selfish. so 6 of us didnt get to do what we all wanted to do at the stamp union. we didnt get to trade (or in some cases, give away) anything much. we didnt get to be happy and jump around like crazy people as a team. we didnt get to scream in the dark room and sing hsm songs. we didnt get to do anything but sit on an ugly sofa next to the score board being worried and waiting for nothing actually. then we were late for our curfew (11pm) and had to run back and everything was so terrible so in the end only 4 of us ran back in the worst of moods waiting to be fined for being late. and alot of other shit happened before all 7 of us were back in the dorm, in a mess of moods.

so now all i remember of post award ceremony was that i cried and cried and cried and cried until 1 of my lenses dropped out. I dont remember crying so much since the team talk last year but that was cause we were a horrible screwed up team. but this year we arent!! we were great and we were second and we got a hug from miss may tan each and thats what made everything 10times more disappointing omg i was so upset i think i swore and cursed D: i think some saw us crying and i really hope they dont get the wrong idea that we are sore about being second cause we're not RAWRRR EVERYTHING IS SO MESSED UP.

and thats what we still are. 6+1. i dont know what's going to happen for the next couple of months but i know most of us are horribly upset over what happened. not like crying helps. it serves no damn purpose at all i should stop crying now. everything is just so so disappointing ):

i still love OM very much nothing changes. violet misses the team when we used to be 7.

I finally got the Internet fixed just like a true pro and I just read _______'s LJ (1. not a stupid person, 2. not an irritant, 3. not an unshaven beardy hairy old man). I also spent 1% of renewed internet time searching for the agarose gel electrophoresis nonsense and the TAE Buffer equally nonsense. I should drop Bio like the apple that dropped on Newton's head.

The weather is getting on my nerves and it is just so annoying. I really cannot take it anymore I need to carry my dumb Japanese and almost-completely-spoilt fan everywhere I go and it isnt even working very well.

RAWRRRRR (like a Daphne Tay). Curse the weather. Curse the vicious cycle cause now it's Global Warming -> Super Hot -> Need AirCon + Fan -> Waste electricity -> Burn fossil fuels -> HA. GLOBAL WARMING X 1MILLION 20 THOUSAND AND 52.

I hate to be rambly, but I hate the weather even more. Sitting in an airconditioned room with the fan on does NOT leave me shivering under the thick quilt anymore. Instead, it leaves me sweating, rawr rawr rawr, on a bed without my blankie and with the fan blowing right in my direction.

D: This is such a horrible environment to learn, study and enjoy life. And I've regrettably been so so so lethargic in classes lately. I'm embarrassed to admit I fell fast asleep - close to involuntary drooling - during bio, even though my teacher is extremely pregnant.

and even mathhhh. sorrrrry miss kohhhh i dont mean to doze offf but it's srzlyyy beeen a horrible horrible environment to learn or do anything, especially the sweltering hot mornings and afternoons. heck, throw in the nights too. D': I cant believe I burst into tears while watching TV programmes cause it was so so so hot and I couldnt take it at all and the stupid stupid TV was showing this snowing scene. Okay make some sense, myself, the TV is my best friend and it mocks me a lot. too much at times, so you need to learn to stop k :D

On a more serious note, I've learnt a lot these 2 weeks. More than I thought I would cause of the mistakes I made, the frankness of my parents, some really awesome teachers and i guess, willingness to listen. Not being defensive is really hard, and I'm kinda glad I overcome this as much as I could. Or over-sensitivity. Though now I need to practise being more sensitive to others. It's hard, but I'm more than willing to put in extra time, effort and a lot of brain work to work towards a better myself. So yeppp everything is going to be heading up up up and get better better better! I hope it would be more rewarding than I'd imagine it to be, and there's still so much more I want to do but just am not doing now.
like increasing my exercising days+times, going vegetarian, reading the -ick- newspaper, upgrading handphone games, interior room designinggg, upgrading the internet, believing in God more and attending lessons, there's so much i want to do but i just can't do now.

THIS IS SO DEPRESSING I NEED TO GET MY EYES OFF THE STUPID TELEVISION SCREEN AND DO OTHER STUFF.

i think lah should be spelt lah and not la or lar. yay trust me i got A1/4.0 for Singlish MYA but I had a few careless mistakes.

I ♥ GEOG ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 4EVER I DONT CARE GLOBAL WARMING YOU'RE GOING DOWN LIKE SUGAR. (YUCK FALLOUTBOY. YUCK EUNICESTUPIDTEO.)

I♥yOMazings fireworks in the house yo. happy things and ♥ly people keep me happy despite the omgross weather.

He's a wily old fox.

This is what the Wily Old Fox is saying to his Poor Miserable Son: "My signature on the invoices is what is doing me in. If someone comes forward to say he forged my signature, then I'll be off the hook. You're my son. I raised you. You should do something for me in return."

What an evil father omg omg omgggg. This actor is kind of typecast he's always acting as a horrible daddy with no morals, maybe cause he looks like a horrible daddy with no morals. But Au Revoir, Shanghai is great. i love HK dramas they are so intense and so full of win :D :D :D Watching HK dramas hours after hours is almost as great as eating Mr Bean 3-in-1 rice balls.

Mr Bean 3-in-1 riceballs and Mr Bean Soy Bean Icecream. I love Mr Bean (it's not the guy who goes "dooo" with teddy, but http://www.mrbean.com.sg/ )
"Have you ever felt the beauty of a smile, the warmth of a touch or the bliss of simply watching the world go by... Share a little time and imagination with us. Let's indulge in Life's Simple Pleasures."
Haha the Mr Bean thing sounds so much like song lyrics i can actually see it being mrbean.mp3 in my eyes, hear the music in my ears and anything and everything. yayyzosaurus rex :D

The MrBean icon is so qt too i love MrBean <3

Anyway, though morning and math and APCG meeting was kinda sucky, I had a great afternoon and evening. I! COULDNT! FINISH! MATH!!!! So I cried. I dont deny that's kinda gross and I was really embarrassed to be bawling like an insane cereal bar after a math test, like when Funelas was collecting the paper I was already banging my forehead on the table and wanting to poke myself with a pen. Haha but this taught me that I can cry better than some actresses who can't so yay me! Then later, thong and i realised we couldnt be part of APCG anymore so yeah, it was a really bad morning.

Love Love Love to yOMazings for making ichiban boshi sushi and so much more, and i havent been to J8 since WW2 so it was kinda brrright to see the orange food court which is damn pretty we are all so hot like tangerine worhXXYY chromosomes. Didnt do much talked nonsense and stuff but the entire process was too dumb to be glum plums so i was a happy yummy kid with roses tulips and violets in my head. and im really glad to have awesome friends who are there for me through shrubbery and blueberry and cranberry.

I'M JUST A PAWN IN THE GAME. I AM EXPENDABLE. Things are going to get real nasty in here. - Au Revoir, Shanghai has really amusing quotable quotes!!

WHEN I GO TO JC I WILL SHOOT UP BY 30CM AND LOOK DOWN AT NICOLE. HAHA TOTALLY TOTALLY TOTIPOTENT CELLS.

HAHA OKAY WILY OLD FOX IS LIKE IMPOTENT I THINK THATS DAMN FUNNY.

(today is such a labelled day!)

chemistry paper was okay it had 12 pages but they used Times New Roman. Personally, i think times new roman is for gays and nobody should use it.

today zhenyi and i got sick of queuing for the traffic light so we decided to walk to fareast to have a healthy breakfast.
! did you know? bubbletea is unhealthy in the morning, in the afternoon and in the night.
anyway I was sharing my very insightful story about my cousin buying things online. But since her stupid sister story was still stuck in my head, i created a sister for myself. And i was telling a story about my sister who actually is my cousin.

Confused zhenyi: "WAIT STOP, (sticks out her hand in the traffic police manner) YOU HAVE A SISTER MEH?" "oh yah, i dont have." :D :D :D

and the subway people were so funny there was one old man and one not old man and they kept making fun of each other. like, "you see how i crack the egg. hit once, not 2 times not 3 times" and the not-old man kept saying "faster faster faster! you're so slow!" to the old man when i wasnt even in a hurry. and they took really long to process my order cause they were busy irritating each other.

//on other matters, zhenyi's bf NEEDS TO BE gay cause she is too manly and walks with her legs wideee apart. yinyang needs to be balanced you see. i think this is going to happen to me too cause i once said during philo that i was born to be a man.

23 DAYS TO MARYLANDDDD!!
im not concentrating on physics or the orange juice cause it said concentrate ALL BECAUSE OF MARYLAND.
NOTE TO SELF: PHYSICS IS MY BEST FRIEND.
howieday says even the best fall down sometime. [ esp. when it's yet to be! ]

( i need to stop amusing myself with these bad jokes that show that i have coke zero sportsmanship but i do cause i'm like the only person who thinks "isnt that where i brush my teeth?" is funny. )

Hello Kitty reminds me of Friends Forever. Which is total shit.
So much for all that crap.
very grouchy today. early in the morning after math before geography. (Besides being disgusted at people who do things for leadership points/position/portfolio) Also found out that friends are people who tell you they "can't stand some things that people do" then later become best of friends with those people, and then dont notice your absence, and dont bother, at all.

it's amazing, these friends. just, amaaaaazing.
and it's not like i didnt try to not be so sensitive (as claimed). if i was any more sensitive than i currently am, i would have broke down ages before today.

On other matters, I love the yomazings for being who they are and making people happy what they do best. The thing about real friends is that when you feel that you've done something wrong to them, you will actually realize and feel bad, and try to do something to change the situation. Oh, and most of all, you will never bear to leave them out.

and this mini font is a trick because i dont have much content here just that there's this mentality that SMALL FONT = EMO/SECRETIVE STUFF WHICH PEOPLE WANT OTHERS TO READ but i dont blog for attention seeking - so there.

Nothing in particular warrants a post, but i've decided i really like the new fahrenheit album despite the criticisms i had previously. :D

anyway, being the cool person that i was, i was stumbling around and stumbled upon some very very cool mailboxes! only singapore isnt cool enough we dont have very nice mailboxes we only have practical and organized ones, these are fun to look at! in case i forget, the website is http://sblom.com/mailbox/. HAH PERSONAL REMINDERS THAT NEVER DISAPPEAR UNWILLING. BEST :D

I wasted like an hour or so looking at these stupid mailboxes and they are all so amazing and in all these different parts of America they MAKE ME WANT TO GO GO GO TO OM WORLDS SO BADLY AHHH.

and today with nicole,jo,yuyue,eileen was a fun ranting subway session :D we should have more of these. ((:

"I'm...I'm...lost. I'm lost." - says my waterbottle who has left me for good. Yeah, it's pre-mature departure upsets me very much, and I have yet to completely get over the loss. Sometimes, I dream of it when I am sleeping and see it floating around my head saying, "Violet lee, you lost me. You lost me!!" (okay no, i dont actually have such strange dreams - eh, hold that thought - but that would actually be rather disturbing. Nightmare-ish probably)

Anyway, all my unhappy feelings have vanished along with the NEW NIKE WATERBOTTLE, proudly sponsored by an extremely generous lingmin<3! (haha though i did manage to convince Shaowei, Elainelau & Joellyn to get one for me prior to today) It mayn't be exactly the same as Mr Pink but this one is extremely pretty and I like it very much. -hugs waterbottle protectively and wont leave it anywhere- I shall post waterbottle photo soon. lovely :D i think i will give it a name and a nickname and a surname and like totally make sure it stays with me for as long as i can possibly imagine. I LOVE WATERBOTTLE NO MORE DEHYDRATION.

Last night, Laura and I spent the night at rachelmiao's house where we had A LOT OF FUN. Of the many hilarious moments we shared, we watched lauragan play neopets (HALF PRICED DAY), took photos (and failedbad) using photobooth, took videos mocking jeanhui's impersonation of weishan, made a video for jeanhui and talked alot alot alot about om and psb. oh, both om and psb turned out amazing today, save for an extremely annoying, want-to-slap-your-face moment in the hall. That wasn't a problem for very long, as reshmi and i started talking nonsense and then we cheered OH YEAH like idiots. HAHA WE CHEERED LIKE THIS: "OH...OH...OH. YEAH...YEAH...YEAH" SUPER LOUDLY AND AUDIBLY AND LIKE USED DEEP VOICES AHAHA.

Oh and yitong and i were really enthu this morning in the netball courts we were running around and saying things like, "WE MUST BE THE CENTRE OF ATTENTION/ATTRACTION." or "WE ARE THE MOST ENTHU OF ALL. GO AWAY WE ARE THE MOST ENTHU." or "LETS ME UN-HIGH FOR 1HR TODAY. eh no, 45MINS, aiyah 30 mins. OKAY FORGET IT." haha i remember us dancing around the few classes at the back skipping back and forth while cheering, go raffles go raffles go (turns around) bring them down bring them down.

AHAHAHAHA ORIENTATION HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I LOVE PSB MUCH!
haha and OM today was great. Hope everything else turns out fine and we will win and be awesome and throw broccoli on each others' heads and faces and eat mushrooms :D

Oh and rachelmiao has gotten me addicted on cranberries i shall start on my new pack veryverysoon.

H-I-P-P-O-P-O*T-A-M-U-S HOI!

hm havent recited that since really long ago, kind of miss the PSLTC days too. especially after today's Pre-O trng.
rawr. it was embarrassing when i was crawling around and sneezed at a moment of silence omg it was super paiseh! yitong said heads turned to stare at that strange sound haha but it was fun laughing around like an idiot with the spsls. :D yay

TODAY i saw rachelmiao since like forever and omg i miss rachelmiao!! yay ♥

haha and today ruoxi,beccawang and i went to watch The Golden Compass! How exciting (: heh it was an incredibly arduous journey and the process was not one bit enjoyable.
First, regular cinemas have $6.50 tickets on monday, but cineleisure's $7. D:
Next, we were such losers and couldnt find the cinema hall 12 which was on level9. so we waited for 3 lifts and finally the third lift came and we gave it up thinking it was full. Apparently some people left the lift at the precise point when we decided to climb the stairs holding wet umbrellas and nachos with cheese, i heard the people waiting for the lift behind us say, "YAY LETS GO IN!" OMG D: sucks.
haha but the show was not bad so kind of fun hehe. and i made alot of noise.
like when the girl's demon said "I'm scared." i was really scared so i said "Me too" unknowingly loud. oh dear. and HP called me and ruoxi thought HP was harry potter and got a shock.

ahahaha okay i want to go eat Follow Your Heart, Have A Gelato tomr! :D
