private servers, blogskins and a whole lotta detective stories.

creative title, eh?

uhm...never mind if i said that.

1st and foremost, happy belated birthday to michael.

that adds up to my to do list:
>very late b-day gift-art for amanda
>also late b-day gift-art for michael
>blogskin for moi (put off a lot of times)
>numbuh 2 fanfic
>another knd fanfic (lol, lotsa fanfic to do..argh)
>finish working on my knd character, which is (still!) being edited on gimp...('coz I don't have photoshop)
>work on the holiday homework (which won't start until the holidays start)
>review, review, review!

2ndly, anyone can help me on making a web-design for the class website (see class web link for details)? it really needs refurbishing...seriously. only then i can publicly announce its presence in class.

probably you have noticed a whole lot of activities devoted to my knd fandom...can't help it, since now i have nothing else to alleviate my boredom. and besides, where else can i share my fandom to?

...............................
private server?
i'm currently downloading twilight-maplestory...a private server on maple global. why did i decide to come back on maple even though i swore that i wouldn't be involved with it again?
...because, my brother lured me bcak in. he told me he'd give me meso if i came back. so i did. but he only came in for one week...and like the first time i played maple, i got stuck on it again.
...oh why am i like this?

blogskins?
yup, i know michael and xin ying jumped on the blogskin-making bandwagon (lol!)...i decided to have a go at it again (even after my failed attempt a long time ago). it proved to be very hard work. perhaps i'll go over the basics of html first. then i'll head on to business.
...but for now, i'll hang on to my current blogskin. i like it purple-ness.

whole lotta detective stories?
...the first detective story i read was a sherlock holmes book, which i forgot the name of, which i borrowed from my cousin. i got hooked on it, and my hooked-ness was continued when i read the hound of the baskervilles, another sherlock holmes book given to me by my aunt. then i took a long break from detctive stories....a very long break.
...i went to the library at pasir ris. nothing but love stories, love stories, love stories...and not much of the other genres. i only managed to get hold of a detective story at the children's section (seems like they have more variety of genres, lol), which was half moon investigations, written by the same author who wrote artemis fowl (:D).
...and this inspired me on my numbuh 2 fanfic...and for the rest of the story, i guess only knd fans will understand. xD

..........................
i wasn't so satisfied with my exam results. i even doubt that it was my work, and i even doubt the marking system of it. except biology, of this i know how it goes.

i doubt i'll get into the top 3. with these results, i bet i won't be on stage next speech day. so much for girls beating boys.

*hits wall*

i guess i still have a bit of resentment for michael young, for beating me on a lot of things. i dunno, i just couldn't accept it. it's like amanda being upset being beaten in english. or me being beaten by someone like ashwin in biology (mid-year exams).

i don't understand things. where could i had gone wrong?

is everything i know wrong?

has the world turned against me?

has it turned upside down?

most importantly, am i where i am supposed to be?

random question: am i in the right dimesnion? xD

did things happen the way they do now just because of a phrase i uttered last semester: "i give up!"?

i guess things are just too complex for me.

.........................................
i gotta go. otherwise i'll get caught on my escapade today.

sayonara,
mariel

I am weird.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Who knew that some F1 race car drivers are so darn cute! (not crushing yet, though.) ...I guess it's the F1 fandom settling in.

...The guys I'm referring to are cute, in my opinion.

..But Nigel Uno (Numbuh 1 in Codename: Kids Next Door) is still cuter. Hah.

Anyway, on to business.

EXAM RA[n]TING (whee.)

English Paper 1 [Status: Done!]: Still thinking. It'll be a disaster.

Social Studies [Status: Done!]: My hand hurt throughout the paper. I missed a couple-a points, a sure recipe for my doom.

English Paper 2 [Status: Oncoming 03/10]: Still thinking of practicing compre, and getting some tips from my mom, after a stunning discovery last night.

EMath Paper 1&2 [Status: Oncoming 03/10 & 08/10]: Still, practice or prepare for doom.

Biology [Status: Oncoming 06/10]: Memorization work...killing...me...*faints*

Geography [Status: Oncoming 06/10]: Whyyyyyy does it always have to be the hard ones?

Amath Paper 1&2 [Status: Oncoming 07/10 & 09/10]: Doom. Doom. Doom. Doom. Go home and practice your work instead of reading this blog.

Chemistry [Status: Oncoming 08/10]: Chemistry! Mrs koh better have nothing difficult on this one.

Physics [Status: Oncoming 09/10]: Physics. Hammer your head time.


This idiot has not recovered from her F1 fandom, and never will.

Fandoms I'm in:
> Invader Zim fan
> Codename: Kids Next Door gihugic fan
> F1 racing fan
> Electric fan
> Ceiling fan
> Airconditioner

Ok. I have more fandoms that this, but those unlisted fandoms are just plain ridiculous.

Jobs I want to do:
> Astronaut
> Doctor
> Scientist
> President of some country!
> Activist?
> F1 driver
> Photographer
> Animator
> Cartoonist
> Writer (of a book)
> Journalist (their jobs are fun, I guess.)
> Scriptwriter (movie or a series)
> Erm...sniper? (lol. :D)

Uhm, today's list day, huh?

Never mind. *walks out*

Signin' off!
*salute*
Mariel

exam week. ah the misery.

Belated birthday greetings to Amanda. Was not able to sms you as my phone was "abandoned" the whole day...and besides the fact that I was being bossed around the whole day and was subjected to the biasness of my parents...you'll get the point eventually.

EXAM RA[n]TING (whee.)

English Paper 1 [Status: Done!]: I'm sure to flunk it. The fact that my situational writing was rushed (as usual) and that my section 1 compo was not well written out. The section one was kinda a "sequel" (How do i get to do these things, seriously?) of my compo at the Mid-year Exams. I don't think the marker will get around to this fact...I bet the readers reading now won't also. I'll type out my first and second compo papers when they get out, which I'll bet will be real soon.

Social Studies [Status: Pending]: Studying right now. Studied also last night (mostly a read-through) until the F1 telecast started (let the whole world know I'm an F1 fan. :D). Afterwards I read it again, and was bored until I slept. I woke up this morning with the book on the floor. Blah.

English Paper 2 [Status: Oncoming 03/10]: Compre is one of my weakest points. Yes, I know the definition of this word and that, and I understand the whole story, but I don't know how t express my thoughts into words. I'm a weird person, lol.

EMath Paper 1&2 [Status: Oncoming 03/10 & 08/10]: I'm gonna need a lot of practice on my Math, and I need to brush up on Properties of Circles. Prepare for lots of doom. :D

Biology [Status: Oncoming 06/10]: I guess the MCQs will be a breeze, but that is something I wouldn't be proud of (full marks on the MCQs). I have to study, study, study, memorize and a lot of other stuff. With the essays and the structured questions, I'm sure to be KO'd.

Geography [Status: Oncoming 06/10]: Ms Choo said the exam would be mainly on Food Geography, which is my weakest point. I wish it would've been Natural Vegetation or Development Indicators instead...I never get the easy ones...-_-"

Amath Paper 1&2 [Status: Oncoming 07/10 & 09/10]: Prepare for even more doom. I'm gonna need all the help I need for Partial Fractions and that Trigonometry thing. There are still a lot of things I don't and probably will never understand, like why the heck am I learning this.

Chemistry [Status: Oncoming 08/10]: The way I learn Chemistry is different from how other people teach me, so there. I better go practice that mole-thing.

Physics [Status: Oncoming 09/10]: I hope Mr Lew will make it a tad easy like last time. Light, Measurement, Molecular properties and other stuff, I'll guess I'll be OK, but it's just that speed thing I won't get to understand. I better ask my parents about this.

F1 Racing thoughts

AWWWWW CRUD. There were a lot of mishaps during the race, which were all crashes (kaboom!). In the end, Alonso won. Disappointed that neither Massa nor Raikonnen (sp?) won, but was satisfied that Hamilton at least got a third. Man, that guy was faaaaast. I seriously wish I could drive that fast, or be a racecar driver, for that matter. Girls can race too, don't ya know? It's just that some aren't so into it, most are only obsessed with other stuff.

RANDOM THOUGHTS

I wish my life is exciting, and wasn't so mundane. I mean, I'm not really sure what I want it my life right now, the only thing I'm sure of is that I want it to be interesting. No, I'm not wishing for something like having an exciting job like a rocket scientist (ok, maybe I do.)...I just want something out of this life that is, well, interesting.

'coz nothing in this life interests me. (A la "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, which I recommend as a must-watch anime. Kyon is cuuute :D)


I'm bored. Not even sports or something creative will alleviate this boredom.

Mariel (who is still bored at the moment)

i'm dangerous. *sinister smile*

beware: i'm crazy and kick very hard.

(posted for the fun of it. i'm suffering from boredom right now. raaaagh.)

let's post some photograph(s) for no apparent reason!

"big sister" is watching you. *insert evil laugh here*


i'm out of ideas.

[I'm not advertising anything! Really!]

bored.

(drew this one on mspaint, 'coz i was bored.)

i'm really bored.
it doesn't help either when school starts tomorrow.
grr.

hmm...i wonder.

i've never felt any more bored in my entire life.
oh the monotony.


oh yeah, i'm no talented artist. this style i'm drawing was borrowed from some guy in deviantart who have dang-awesome animating skills, and i'm currently trying out this style in my version. i still have to find other styles though.

i can't draw very well, i just like to scribble stuff when i'm bored.
for the exception of xin ying's birthday pic...and some project i've been working on.

gotta go. i still have work to do.

Whee!

First of all:
Happy Birthday Xin Ying!
I drew a picture (I drew it on 28 Aug...Only now was I bothered to do a bit on the lineart and colouring...I still say my drawing skills are pathetic on mouse, and I guess it might be worse if I had a tablet PC...waaaah.)

Oh well...at least I tried. :D

Onwards to other business.

I watched Wall·E on Sunday...I'd say it was a good movie...me liked it. I like how it's somehow subtle message that isn't "preachy" like those other pro-green stuff...
I like the cleaner robot..."M-O"...he's cute. :D

...I didn't go for choir yesterday. Elder sibling business. Ha.

Will put more stuff soon. Let my phone load stuff into my PC first...And let me finish cooking my afternoon snack. :P
