picture taken by yours truly(:

how could i have forgotten to mention this:

i did well for chinese
i didn't pass
but give me an extra half an hour or so
(yea right. like that'll ever happen)
and i might just've passed

whee
huge improvement for me

bio today was honestly better than i expected
i didn't really study so i figured i'd probably flunk like crap
but the thing is the mcq turned out wayy easier than chem
i aimed to get full ten marks for that
especially because the later part of the paper really sucked

i guessed(correctly, mind you)
that constituent A and B
was water and fats respectively

but the next questions then asked what the functions of these constituents were
of course,
well duh,
i didn't know
so i said that water hydrates us
and fats
fats fats fats
haha

hold on please, while i laugh to myself for a bit
i put
"fats keep us warm"

which TECHNICALLY is correct
but i didn't know that
and i just kept thinking my answer made us humans sound like seals
you know,
seals who have blubber to insulate them and keep them warm
so underneath my answer,
i wrote in brackets
"sounds like a seal and it's blubber"

dory asked later if ms sem said anything about it
no, she didn't actually.
i think she was too upset that i did so badly
well, for me it's an improvement

of course i could've gotten more if i actually studied
but you know,
the end of the test week so
slacking off a bit already

didn't study as much as i would've like to
but it's good i studied the little bit i did
or i would't have gotten any marks whatsoever

ms sem said this definitely wasn't my best
and i ought to do a lot better

so yes,
i will TRY HARDER(:

ms sem is really inspiring
she always has such high hopes in all her students
the science head actually said that the paper was too hard
but ms sem thought nothing of it

"why would it be hard? i've taught you all i have to so it'll be fine if you study what i tell you to"
was her response
she said it wasn't too good cos obviously the science head didn't think we were all that capable

so yea well,
that's ms sem for you(:

math's gonna pull my whole average down next week by the way
not like the average isn't already low enough
but there you go
that's what you get if you miss lotsa school
and the teacher makes you hate the subject more

whatever
i won't make excuses for myself

watched two movies/shows whatever you call it,
in school today
futurama with ms ang
this chinese show with ms sem
it's a good show
it's at the good part right now
but,
as always,
the bell had to go and ring itself
pfft

auntie Regina's over right now
her strong accent reminds me of auntie Esther
which makes me really really miss UK
i wanna go hoooome:(
and i wanna go to my other hooome,
which would be the US

and and aaaand
like i said in the quiz down below,
i wanna be on my damned honeymoon in Hawaii!
not that hawaii's a confirmed place but
yea well

- xoxo
charis loves you

only yours baby

i'm charis vera Ng,
i'm NOT a Singaporean, i was born in UK
but i spent most of my four years in scotland
i love alastair(:
i'm doing my best to live for God though i often fail miserably

ok,try this:
you're this girl who's flown over to this country when you're no more than four years of age
you resent your dad for it,
and it doesn't help when things between your parents don't work out either.

so you miss your home terribly,
you miss going strawberry-picking,
you miss eating boiled eggs out of egg-cups
and you miss warm and cuddly Uncle John and Aunty Esther.

instead,
you find yourself forced to change
and adapt in a horribly hot place
where in primary school,
you meet cold,heartless little kids who ignore you and don't let you play "family"
just cos your accent is different.
early on,
you get weird looks and you find yourself going for recess breaks alone.
your classmates complain to the class teacher when you call them stupid
because they don't understand what to you is simple english.
but they leave you alone when you call them an imbecile
because they don't know what it means.
your primary 1 & 2 class teacher takes joy in complaining to your mummy
because she detests you.
she detests you for constantly correcting her english grammer and pronunciation in front of the class
you soon realize that you can actually gain and keep friends upon them finding out your mother's an actress
but by that time you've more or less forced yourself to lose your accent which makes communication a lot easier anyway.

that was the little girl charis,
now,
on top of that,
i can be a total biotch sometimes, towards people.
and don't tell me you aren't sometimes please.
but i try my very best not to bitch about people.
im a dangerous shopper(=
i never know what i want or need til i see it.

i don't like television.
now that's a first innit?HAH.
bet you never knew someone who didn't like tv
well i don't
and i'm not trying to be different and difficult
it's noisy and boring
i like music:)
i find eating a chore but i love snacking
figure that out
i find certain kinds of pain addictive,
no, i promise i'm still sane.

which is actually pretty remarkable for someone living here,
in this time and place
where you normally get loads of homework,
tests with questions that look like they're in foreign language,
and where everything's a competition to be the best,
the prettiest,
the most popular,
the most hated,
the thinnest,
the fattest, the coolest
the list goes on.
one shouldn't try to be something you're not,
but everyone knows that's easier said than done.
like duurh.
