Document 21

Jeez, Rachel. You mean you actually counted the number of words I wrote..? You are fascinating.. In a bad way, to say the least. Well, you know you don't have to make up for anything, I am sure.. Its just the conscience that bites. Anyway, you managed to write 1600++ words, which, I am sure, is no easy feat, but very easily achieved if one includes the lyrics of a song. It is not very "C-R-A-Z-Y" for somebody to write 1500 words for a post, you proved your own hypothesis to be very very wrong. Sad for somebody who is likened to be my TWIN sister.

I have a feeling that when we swam about in the Gene Pool before we were born, I got all the intelligence and you got all the crappiness. Really, when they talk about "Gene Pool(s)", what image do you have..? I get this weird image like.. I am sitting at the side of the a pool - which they call the Gene Pool - and there this weird things floating, or maybe, swimming, of fishes and some are dark, snappy fishes like barracudas, and they've this word engraved on their bodies like.. negative traits.. for example.. Stupidity. And because you get the trait of the fish you get, e.g. Stupidity, then you are stupid.

I was here
and now I'm here.
Always outta point.

So anyway, my post, or you can call it response, is just starting. Yeah, I guess I'm gonna split it into a few.. say.. Topic sentences too. So how many words is my introduction Rachel..?

1. 2007

Really, Rachel. You complain as though 2007 would be horrible. You don't know how damn right you are. Yes, we will be in different classes, which is most upsetting. Trust me, in days when you don't come to school and PLAY TRUANT, I experience the most horrible times. The whole classroom is quiet, no squeaky Rachel at the back. Sometimes glancing at the empty seat would be a little.. tragic. Like, some part of the class has been ripped away and we are not a whole. And times when neither Michellina nor you are present, it really sucks. I'll be class-sick next year.

Really.. I kinda feel.. Restricted.. to express myself. I have no idea why. I think I read somewhere that actors / actresses kinda pent up their emotions after much time of acting, and they look like they don't feel anything at all. And then there is this sort of.. specially reserved reaction for them as to the situations. After too much acting of other quirky characters, they board their own personal personalities up, and so to other people, they seem as very cold people. I think I'm starting to grow like that. So maybe I won't feel so much hurt to be torn from my old class and sewn unto a new 3C3 blanket, and maybe my current reaction to this is being acted out, I don't know. But I do know that it would be bloody painful to be seperated next year. And maybe, to an actress, knowing the situation would be good enough.

Let's see. In 3C3, there are 2 people from our class. My, my. And that person doesn't come from my clique. AMANDA QUEK is in my class. I'm not saying its horrible, but it certainly is weird. I don't even know her that well, like, I know that she's bloody intelligent, sits next to Su Jean, she's Su Jean's Plan B, like, if you don't see both of them attacking someone, most probably they will when Su Jean screams for Amanda. Remember that we had to write a Valentines' Day Card to someone whom you wasn't really acquainted to this year? Well, no prizes guessing who I wrote to. Yup, Ol' Amanda. So I'm really surprised to find that I'll have lotsa chances to be fairly acquainted with her. Besides, I found out last year that she lives in one of the houses opposite mine. Talk about fate. So, maybe I am going to really make friends with her next year.

Talk about workload. Darling Rachel, you have 2 sciences, 2 maths, 2 languages, 2 humanites, social studies, and CME. Now that's a friggin 10 subjects. And now honey, look what I have. I have 3 sciences, 2 math, 2 languages, 2 humanities, social studies, CME and a possible CHINESE LITERATURE. You heard me right. CHINESE LITERATURE. Oh god, this spells hell for me here. Whatthehell am I gonna do with CHINESE LITERATURE? I'm gonna die. I'm gonna burn in fury flames and burn to death. So look, you have 10 subjects. I have a possibility of 11 / 12 subjects. Now, tell me. What about your workload again..?

And yes, the "make-new-friends". I'm quite sure that an ELDDS member will have no problem making new friends. Its just the other people I don't understand. If I say something offensive, I'll probably spend the rest of my Secondary life in a hell hole. Well, at least, unlike you, I already have made my choice about the core and elective subjects. I have this... Personal interest in history, but I can only read to gain knowledge of it... My knowledge of History is not extended through my writing, for I can give no evidence of the events that have happened. Most upsetting, really. So I'm taking Pure Geography and Elective Literature. No History at all. But really, I think you're a Humanities person. So I figure that you would excel in your Humanities.

I understand the stress the choices bring. I never wanted to go into triple. If my mother hadn't harped on triple science and how if I couldn't cope with triple, she could go to the principal to appeal to drop one of my sciences. I doubt that if I tell her I am unable to cope, she will not go to the principal. I really never thought of how it would be like to be a triple science student. Well, maybe I have fantasised about going into triple before, but never a really.. substantiated dream. I know Stephanie and Celestine were saying at the start of the year that they really wanted to go into C3. Me? I hadn't made up my choice yet, but I had a pretty good feeling about C1. It was Pure Literature afterall. Eunice wanted C2, Michellina wanted G1 and Valerie was as indecisive as I was. I guess only Eunice and Michellina got what they wanted. Valerie, Stephanie and I were just happy to stick to our choice. So believe in your heart, Rachel. Works sometimes.

2. Hlel as wried ravetelis

Yes, I wrote this title in a crap version. Why may you ask. I have no idea. I read somewhere that your brain only picks up the first and last letters of a word. It doesn't read the word as a whole. It merely picks up the first and last letters and fits the rest of the letters in to form a word. Fascinating huh? So in this case, the title is "Hell as weird relatives".

Yes. I, Michelle Teo Xiang Rong, aged 14, 2 months and 3 days old, have weird relatives. I have nieces, nephews and horrible cousins.

Nieces -- are a pain. I'm not trying to "Anti-Girl" the world, [LOOK. I AM A GIRL] but I just have bloody irritating nieces.

Wait. Nieces = Siblings' daughther. No, I don't have a sibling. In my case, my nieces / nephews = cousin's offspring.

Well, I had 3 friggin days of taking care of my nieces / nephews. THREE. God, they suck. They scream if they don't get ice-cream WITH jelly. They pull my hair even if I've tied it up in a bun, so I've to put my hair in a shower-cap. They cry if I don't act out a poem from Mother Goose. They roll on the floor if they don't get to watch Jay Jay the Jet Plane. Tell me about a horrid lifestyle. My niece is 7 months and my two Singaporean nephews are aged 4 and 5. I have.. say.. 2 nephews and a niece who live in Taiwan. My niece is 9, and [wait for this] my nephews are aged 14 and 16. Talk about "Generation Gaps". I don't think I'll ever experience such a problem with my Taiwanese nephews.

Well, I'll have to say that you indeed do have pretty unique relatives. The only quirky relative I have is my nephew, aged 16. Yes, my nephew is older than I am. Well, he is currently learning English. And it is horrendous. Once he told me "[insert name of great person here] is a very impotent person". I was stumped. IMPOTENT?? Guess what he meant to say? He meant to say "IMPORTANT". Talk to me about diction.

3. ELDDS

Well, ELDDS has been fascinating. No utter complaints. Only that now we're preparing for SYF so we're gonna have tougher sessions next year. Unfortunately, we don't have any ELDDS sessions during the holidays. I was asked to return to school once for a brief interaction with our SYF trainer, along with 14 other exclusive members. Honourable, huh? Well, we were trained in our Voice Projectiveness and FLEXIBILITY. I had no idea that actresses had to be flexible. Oh wells, maybe because in SYF, we are acting on stage and there are no microphones. Small wonder why Mr. M can actually stand in front of the hall without a microphone and manage to get the entire school to shut up.

Well, I had no idea, that I, in fact, am one of the most flexible people in ELDDS. ME?!?! Maybe ballet is really quite good for me afterall. It was fun, but painful. I sure am looking forward to other sessions in future. I'll laugh at my juniors.

4. Randoms

You wouldn't believe this, but Michellina and I are going to Bangkok togther. Yes, TOGETHER. Now, I'm not hitting on your husband, you must be aware. She's leaving for Bangkok on the 7th and I'm leaving for Thailand on the 7th too. She's leaving Bangkok on the 11th and me on the 12th. She's going to be in Bangkok for the entire 4 days, and I'm spending 1 day in Chiangmai, 1 day in Chiangrai and 3 days in Bangkok. And the funniest thing of all, is that we are staying at the same hotel in Bangkok. So, in a sense, we really are going overseas together. I think there's something between Bangkok and me. Last year, I visted Bangkok too, and I saw my ELDDS senior. This year, I'm visiting Bangkok too, and I'm going to meet Michellina. I think I'm half Thai.

JinHow wants to invite us and the other Drama teachers for COFFEE..? Yes, he is strange. And if I accept, I'll be seeing my SYF trainer having coffee too, cos he taught 2S3 Drama. JinHow has a very.. unique.. way of using words. Once, he told me to [quote] "Call [him] Jin". Okay. So we're now in first-name terms. Then he talks to me for 3 seconds and he told me [quote] "I'm going to have to let you go now, I'm in the middle of something." Let me go? That's a very funny expression that I've only heard in a Nursery Rhyme in which the poet counts to ten, stopping in-between to say that a fish has bitten his finger. So.. He's pretty creepy.

No, I hell haven't watched Step Up. No absolute time. For example, my 16 year-old nephew from Taiwan is arriving today. Time and Tide waits for no man.

Okay, I really have to go now. I'm meeting my nephew at my Grandmother's house in 15 minutes and I'm leaving for tution at 400. So, goodbye to Cyberspace and my most impotent sister in Secondary school.

Postscript: Have you bought your books yet..? The Literature book, The Glass Menagerie is pretty fascinating. I finished it in 53 minutes all told.

Love,

ME
