[edit] Yes, I’ve been really inactive. I’d like to apologize to my affies. :( School, y’know? Extra classes almost everyday. I’ll work a bit more on my site, and return the comments. [/edit]

I’m on a girls’ basketball team in school. That sucks. And I have two games this week. The team captain kept pressing me to join. :( She had mastered pulling the puppy face at will. I’ll probably get booed. I always play defense, but I can’t throw the ball very far. Conclusion: height isn’t everything in basketball.

I’m scared, because lots of people show up to watch the matches. T.T Compared to the big cheeses who can actually shoot hoops, I’m just a cold booger.

I deleted the previous post because it was too long. What a bore. Rowan tagged me with the twenty random fact meme. I do think twenty facts are a lot, though.

1. I love old songs, like the Three Degrees’ When Will I See You Again. I’ve never been a fan of the newfangled, insipid songs of today with meaningless lyrics. I loathe R&B. I’m also a fan of love songs, and my current obsession is You Raise Me Up by Secret Garden/Westlife. Feel free to mock my taste in music if you feel insulted.

2. I’m obsessed with being 5′10″ / 5′11″ tall. No longer will I have to strain to see above the heads of people.

3. I don’t like it when people exaggerate their stories. I’m not bothered by people who slip in a white lie every once in a while to impress their audience, but doing it every story is annoying, i.e. “I have this 12-year-old friend who memorized the ENTIRE Oxford 1578-page dictionary for light reading, twice!”

4. I have this compulsive habit of correcting broken English. Yes, it’s annoying. In fact, I wouldn’t blame you if you added this to the list of habits you despise about other people.

5. I don’t think it’s cute when girls scream all the time(sparingly is acceptable). I can’t really stand girls who scream everytime people poke them, at the sight of blood(it’s okay if you just feel squeamish) or something. I don’t think it makes girls unique, either.

6. I weigh 53 kilos. After one of my mega eating sprees, it’s 56.

7. I always yawn with my mouth shut, unless I’m alone.

8. I overuse the words ‘Please’, ‘Thank you’, and ‘Sorry’.

9. I always sing in class. Okay, not so loudly in the sense that everyone can hear me.

10. People are always telling me how much I am of a tomboy. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that I actually do the chest bump. I just like acting like a guy. Girly is not me. No way.

11. My normal walk is pretty much a trot.

12. I love my dreams. Erm…the ones you get at night? They’re temporary but wonderful one-way tickets to fantasy island. I dreamt that I could fly! …by blowing bubble gum out of my ears. :b

13. I have a bit of a British accent. A bit.

14. I like jiggling my feet. Especially in boring classes.

15. I admire people with excellent standards of English. (And by excellent, I mean one-in-a-thousand excellent).

16. I use proverbs a lot. Early to bed, early to rise. ‘Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. I like that.

17. I laugh more than most other people. I see something funny, laugh, and after the laughter subsides, I tend to burst out in peals of laughter again after a minute.

18. I laugh a high-pitched hyena laugh.

19. Everyone has learnt not to argue with me on topics like littering and animal abuse.

20. I look like a hamster.

Er…Consider anyone interested in getting tagged tagged. :)

Happy advanced birthday to me. I’m such a loser, I’m now wishing myself a happy advanced birthday. :D

Signs of life stirred amongst my presents. :)

It was a rather pleasant surprise.(and the tiniest thing I’ve ever seen!)

If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll have read about a particular boy I ran into in the library. A rather strange one. Well, I ran into him again, and this time, his bottom was used as a scoreboard for what, tic-tac-toe? How inspiring. I’d love for the whole school to see me in all my mustached glory.

School sucks big time. I’ve been reminded about my upcoming exams left and right, and I would take it in my stride to question the point of reminding me every class. Uh…after having endured that for days, I think the message has already sunk in, if not engraved? The annoying part is where they go, “Oh, your exam is only three weeks from now, and you haven’t studied?” every half-hour. Throw in a singsong voice and I might be reduced to hurling things at them.
