maybe i was pmsing a few days ago.

i suddenly feel like shit for a truckload of reasons.

i'm once again amazed at ignorance.

gosh i'm random.

thanks everyone.
you know who you are.
i really appreciate it.

9:53 PM




blank.

the past few nights havent exacty been the best.

i asked myself so many questions.
questions that i couldnt answer.
questions you couldnt or wouldnt answer.

things that confused me, hurt me.
words that i didnt understand.
things i couldnt believe,
and yet, had to accept.

it's times like these that make me feel like a crumpled sheet of paper.


and the phonecall.thanks a heaven lot.

I'M AWESOME.

sighs,
i was like, self inflicting pain.

it's how smth makes you happy, and yet sad.
and it's up to you to decide which is more, i guess.
before i slept i realised a lot of things you said made sense,
thanks for giving me strength.


moving on,
it felt like God was trying to speak to me today.


in many ways.

some people might think i'm just being crappy.
but, oh well.


first, for english, we did an article from TIME magazine on the love lives of teenage boys.
to sum, up the article, it was about a research done by a sociologist who found out that teenage boys are actually as sensitive as girls.
a few funny statements popped up here and there.
a few sentences that happened to make sense and apply to me.

She also wanted to know if he really meant it.

it finally came to the question--
Does the sensitive teenage boy exist?


and the first person Mrs Alex asked was Samantha Branson.
who said after a short pause.

YES, but boys rarely show it.
due to their --- (i didnt know how to put it cos i didnt want to generalize)
chorus answer, MALE EGOOOOO.


it seems as if popular culture us waking up to the reality of the emotionally sensitive male.


so yea.

then after recess, religious education, we talked a bit on Vocation.
then came the question--
How will you know whether you love someone enough to get married?

and mrs tan asked me.

'you're samantha, right? what do you think?'

and i'm like.

i think you'll know when you understand his flaws, and more importantly, accept them.

and she's like
'YES!VERY IMPORTANT. blah blah blah.'

and everyone's like, 'WAHHHH, SAMMMM how you know ah!'

then we had to do a survey on What love is and ISN'T.
and we had to tick qualities we'd look for in a potential ...


God's really trying to say something.


then after school, there's art.
art's my form of destressing really.
i love art.

i worked on my clouds for the whole four hours.
i'm rather happy with how they turned out.

sat on the same chair, use dtexture paste, then colour pencil.
shined the spotlight on it while colouring.
i like.


took a few photographs.
latest to leave, as usual!


got home, had dinner, and here i am now.


for those who're wondering, i'm fine.
or maybe, that's just what i'm telling myself.
you know how you think of smth so much cos you hope it'll happen.

it's like that.


it's like, AH.
i know i know,
No, I dont.


i cant keep hanging on.
i cant keep being left wandering, left lost.

i never gave up on you.
you did.

i sacrificed a lot.
there's no amount of words that can express how i felt, feel, will feel.



it's just not the same.


no prize for guesses why.

When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle,
when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and
the 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had
some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked
up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with
golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed
that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured
them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.The pebbles rolled into the
open areas between the

golf balls . He then asked the students again if the jar
was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured
it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked
once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous
"yes."

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under
the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling
the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. "Now,"
said the professor as the laughter subsided,

"I want you to recognize that this jar represents
your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children,
your health, your friends and your favorite passions--and if everything
else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your
job, your house and your car.

The sand is everything else--the small stuff.

"If you
put the sand into the jar first," he continued,

"there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have
room for the things that are important to you.

"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your spouse out to dinner.
Play another 18.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
Take care of the golf balls first--the things that really matter.

Set your
priorities.

The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what
the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's
always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."


I'm gonna do this one day.

HAHA,
i've got random songs stuck in my head.

in my dreams i'll always see you soar above the sky. in my heart there'll always be a place for you, for all my life.

in these eyes, more than words, more than anything that i've spoken.. as they skies, turn to gray, my heart's just a bout to crack open. so the story goes. there's something you should know, before i walk away and i blow the ending.

words're swaying, someone is praying please let us come home to stay.

coming for the lips of an angel, hearing those words it makes me weep.

the smile on your face let's me know that you need me, there's a truth in your eyes, saying you'll never leave me.

the physics test was easy.
i had trouble with it and hence concluded that i'm gonna flunk it, cos i didnt study.

SS test was good. not enough time though. screw the last question.

nothing much happened today.

after school at the interchange was funny.
this guy was like convincing one of amanda's choir juniors not to donate.
it was hilarious.

and i'm not exactly in the blogging mood, as you prolly can tell.

it's a bright sunny day today.
it feels so happy!

two of my aunties said they'd get me a dress (((:
-grins.

so it's dress shopping with mummy on thurs.
supposed to go today, but she said she's tired and she was whining on the phone.
haha, funny.

so thursday !
(((((:

ooh, i cant wait.

shopping :D

Imagine if you were stalin, and you couldnt get the power you wanted and you were unhappy.
what'd you do?

-sam says shopping (:

HAHAHA.


i shall describe the dress.

it's like gray with a round neck line.
it's loose and flairy after the waist.
and it's high waisted.

the top looks like this, and the colour's like this,
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
it's high waisted though, unlike in this pict.
and it's sleeved, but not three quarter sleeved as in this pict.
it's rather minimalistic to me.
like solid colour and simpla design.
(:

as for the other dress, i'm gonna shop (:
havent decided what to get, but prolly one of those printed lycra material ones (:
they fit well, and suit me so HAHA, get la.

mhmm.
i'm anticipating it'll look fab with one of those thick belts.
which i've always wanted.
haha, they make me look slimmmmmm (:
teehee.

oh oh oh, i changed my parting to more side.
so that the people who insist that my hair is centre parting cant pick a fight.

and i thought i was going out with mummy today so i conditioned the front side fringe.
ah, it's bigger now, so it's like so flickable.
i like it when i falls over my right eye (:
except during geog when i'm trying to copy what mrs kunna's writing on the board, then it gets annoying.
and when i'm wearing lipgloss and my hair touches my lips.
mmhmm.

oh, shopping.
window shopping works toooo.

TOPSHOP (:
ACCESSORIZE!
FOREVER21

yup.
ah, why do i fortell that i'm gonna be suaned during my birthday !

anyways!
i finished reading Tuesdays with Morrie.

made me realise a whole lotta things, and yes, i did cry.
no i didnt cry when watching Day after tomorrow.

i dont know how it feels to lose a loved one.
and i guess one day i'm gonna experience it.

God give me strength.

eh, i dont know what i want for my birthday.
really.
staedtler 36 colour watercolour pencil set (:
click to see the link.

which i really want (:

i think some ppl are combining.
cos it costs quite a bit.
ah, there's a sixty colour set.
i think they're getting the 36 though (:
though i wouldnt mind topping up the extra cash and getting the 60 or 48. LOLS.
might as well whattt.


another thing i'm wishing for ( i want sounds so spoilt bratty)

three free periods in a row.
wrote a letter for like two periods.

HO YEAH.

thanks to the dreary cold weather which neighbour LIKES, my fingers're FROZEN.

gotta stoooop typing now.

oh wait. my diet isnt working.
parents and friends're making it hard !

i'd be shooting down the opponent.
strong-willed?
not easily swayed?
cos i think i'm always right?

GOD KNOWS.

like HELLOOO.
Mother Teresa was so not self centred.
and i shouldnt have to prove that.

and if mother teresa's one person, (she is btw, albeit she's passed on)
you cant say EVERYONE'S SELF-CENTRED.
cos that's just like you honey.

nah, not sweet.
stupid.


OOHHH, bitchy.


since we're on the topic.
no one should ever make you feel inferior without your permission.
and just cos many people have a particular opinion, it doesnt mean it's true.
more so if there's one person out there who KNOWS it isnt true.
hey, the opinions of others ain't gonna change what actually is.
not now, not ever.
so long as i live.

SO THERE.
go figure.





it's one of those days.

i like like like this poem (:

she's stealing;
in the silence of the day
she skips between every orange sunray

claiming what isn’t hers.

The purple underbellies of the watching clouds played witness;
They let her.

They let her kiss their puddles of rainwater,
As she flirted to gain the rainbow’s trust.

The gentle raindrops ignored her quickened pace.
As she stole.

As she stole with such stealth.
The wind himself could not catch her.

The crashing waves covered her trail.
The blemishes in the turquoise tide, ignorant of her presence

The soft summer breeze let her slip past.
Even as the branches of trees stretched their hands to catch her,
The leaves whispered words of encouragement to her.

She’s stealing;
In the tranquil of the night.
She skips between every gossamer moonbeam.

She tears apart the night sky,
Seeking to claim what isn’t hers.

Yet the silver moonlight lets her go on.
The tears of the sky catch but a glimpse of her.

She took what isn’t hers.
And there’s no one to stop her.
she's stealing;
she’s already stolen my smile.



RSVP by tmr please! SMS me.

sam's a stressed student with a throbbing headache. so whats new?

it's one of those throbbing headache's.
that makes me feel like i've got a fever.
that makes me feel like crying.
that makes me feel awfully stressed.
and my mind seems to mutilply my current state of stress by like 100.

I'd like to think it's the weather.


school was alright.
rained practically the WHOLE day.

yea. i hate cold weather.
it's so rainy.

it gives this whole aura of dismality (if there's sucha word) and it's seems so sordid.
it's like.
imagine a homeless little girl lost in the streets and it starts raining.
and she gets drenched.

that's how rain seems to me.

it reminds me of Annie.

when you're stuck with a day, that's gray and lonely.
i just stick up my chin, and grin and say oh,
the sun'll come out, tmr.
so you gotta hang on till tmr.


yea, so it's pretty much like that for me.

i was always more of a sunny person.
it's not called sunny disposition for nothing.
sunlight always seems so much happier and more cheery!
i mean, there isnt sucha thing as a rainy disposition.
double standards.

yea.
there's cca day tmr.
i hope recruitment will turn out well.
i mean, who doesnt?

i hope it gets sunny.

rainy days just turn my mood down by half.
or wait, more tha half.

rainy days are the days that i cry the most easily.
dont know.
it's just me?

maybe cos you're busy now dear.


if i read The Dreamwalker's Child now, i'd prolly cry.
it's the first and only book i've ever cried whilst reading.

it's when this young girl realises she's the cause of her whole family's deaths cos of her innocence.
it's really sad.
she was playing on a frozen lake, chasing a blue butterfly. and the ice was too thin in the middle.
and yeah.
it cracked whilst her parents were trying to save her.

and how her teacher in this other dimnesion tells her--

Just because something changes, it doesnt mean that it is lost. Like melting snow, it simply becomes something else. Love cannot be destroyed. The things that matter will stay with you always.


yea.

i'm so tired.
i hate the weather.

it gives this whole aura of dismality (if there's sucha word) and it's seems so sordid.
it's like.
imagine a homeless little girl lost in the streets and it starts raining.
and she gets drenched.

that's how rain seems to me.

pledge wasnt half bad.
miss teo and mrs matthew's were rather encouraging.

geog was FUNNY.
HEEHEE.
will blog more tmr!

and art was best.

went through the themes.
I'm pretty sure i'm gonna do Unusual Perspectives, which i chose over At Play which was the other theme that i didnt rule out.

yeah.

i'm not gonna blog bout my concept just yet, though if you wanna know, HAHA, ask me or smth.

Gifts comm for the invest finished painting all 25 pieces.
OMG.
so happy.
they look AWESOME.

cant believe we managed to finish the paint and glitter on all 25 in like 4+ hours.
so AWESOME.


and i'm a happy girl.
cos i've finally found my direction with regards to the O level AEP themes -grins.


happy happy.

Now i just need the visual rep.
and artist influence.
i already figured that out. soooo.
i'll be in the art studio during my two free chem periods tmr.

kinda cant wait to get started.
though i flipped when i found out we have to get half of our eight prep boards due by MARCH.
yes, that's less than two months.

ah.
JIA YOU.


and i kinda realised i only have Obssesive Compulsive Disorder (OCD; like when you arrange all the stationery in your pencilcase in the same direction -HEH, like MAGDALENE LIM) for ART.
haha, it's like.
i cannot stand using rolled up art block,
crumpled art paper- even if it's just the corners,
art paper with black finger prints
and WORST OF ALL if it's folded.
and i cant stand seeing the pencil marks even after i've erased smth.



yeah, i'm randomly weird.

I'm Samantha Branson (:

and i guess i'm a whole unusual perspective myself.


HO HO HO.
one of my sec one juniors from my DEAR DARLING psl class 1/6 just messaged me and she's like--

So how's your love life??everyone in 1/6 is talking bout it.....lol....haha :D

pledge wasnt half bad.
miss teo and mrs matthew's were rather encouraging.

(:


geog was FUNNY.
HEEHEE.

and art was best.

went through the themes.
I'm pretty sure i'm gonna do Unusual Perspectives, which i chose over At Play which was the other theme that i didnt rule out.

yeah.

i'm not gonna blog bout my concept just yet, though if you wanna know, HAHA, ask me or smth.

Gifts comm for the invest finished painting all 25 pieces.
OMG.
so happy.
they look AWESOME.

cant believe we managed to finish the paint and glitter on all 25 in like 4+ hours.
so AWESOME.


and i'm a happy girl.
cos i've finally found my direction with regards to the O level AEP themes -grins.


happy happy.

Now i just need the visual rep.
and artist influence.
i already figured that out. soooo.
i'll be in the art studio during my two free chem periods tmr.

kinda cant wait to get started.
though i flipped when i found out we have to get half of our eight prep boards due by MARCH.
yes, that's less than two months.

ah.
JIA YOU.


and i kinda realised i only have Obssesive Compulsive Disorder (OCD; like when you arrange all the stationery in your pencilcase in the same direction -HEH, like MAGDALENE LIM) for ART.
haha, it's like.
i cannot stand using rolled up art block,
crumpled art paper- even if it's just the corners,
art paper with black finger prints
and WORST OF ALL if it's folded.
and i cant stand seeing the pencil marks even after i've erased smth.



yeah, i'm randomly weird.

I'm Samantha Branson (:

and i guess i'm a whole unusual perspective myself.


HO HO HO.
one of my sec one juniors from my DEAR DARLING psl class 1/6 just messaged me and she's like--

SCHOOOOOOOOL.

we finally got the art themes!
they're quite alright, though i find it ironic that miss low tells us that the teachers are sick of seeing the cliche flowers and butterfly skecthes and a the theme- Flora and Fauna pops up.
The themes given are rather directed. and rather developed.

havent decided what i'm gonna do.
i'm already stressing over the fact that the VAT is due in March.

The add math test.
haha, shant talk bout it since some ppl havent taken it yet.

i'm on pledge duty for the next three days..

rain sounds good to me now.
HAHA.


haha, just a note--
i'm very much single.
LOL.



english lessons are gonna be good.
we're doing descriptive essays now.
which as far as i'm concerned is my strength when it comes to essays.


yeah.



AHHH.

i was freaked before the add maths test.
HO YEAAAAH.


yup.

it's stuck in my head! AH SHUCKS.
it's a lovely song.



where are we?
what the hell is going on?
the dust has only just begun to form
crop circles in the carpet
sinking, feeling

spin me 'round again
and rub my eyes,
this can't be happening
when busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines
all those years
they were here first

oily marks appear on walls
where pleasure moments hung before the takeover,
the sweeping insensitivity of this still life

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines (you won't catch me around here)
blood and tears
they were here first

Mmmm what d'ya say,
Mmmm that you only meant well?
well of course you did
Mmmm what d'ya say,
Mmmm that's all for the best?
of course it is
Mmmm what d'ya say?
Mmmm that it's just what we need
you decided this
Mmmm what d'ya say?
Mmmm what did she say?

ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
midsweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
speak no feeling
no I don't believe you
you don't care a bit,
you don't care a bit

(hide and seek)
ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
midsweet talk, newspaper word cut outs

(hide and seek)
speak no feeling
no, I don't believe you
you don't care a bit,
you don't care a bit

oh no, you don't care a bit
oh no, you don't care a bit

I'm asking myself the same question again.

Could I ever ?


your song; it's getting to me.

and that's just how it is.
it's like.
you want to throw smth away,
and yet you can't.
and that feeling's awful.

cos it makes you feel like some schizo.
confusing.
AH, WTH.

forget it.

I'm fine.
no, really.

the sweeping insensitivity of this still life.

reflective post coming up.

the past few days have been oh-so-tiring but very rewarding.
sec one orientation went very well, in my opinion.

it was really great.
really.

seeing sec one six blossom from quiet shy sec ones to enthusiastic class-ij-spirit filled youth made me feel so happy.
i figured it's cos i played a part in influencing the change.

and nothing else can cut close to the sense of achievement.


after the games, telematch the councillors cleaned up the whole basketball court.
it was then.
when everyone was scrubbing, splashing, carrying heavy bucket fulls of water.
using small pieces of sponge to rub off masses of flour whilst kneeling.

tired looks swept every face, and yet, no voices sounded complain.

it was then that i really understood the meaning of Servant Leadership.

tolerance contributed a whole lot.

it reminded me of obs.
when mad and i did the capsize drills, we were hence delayed and far far far away from the rest of the kayaking fleet.
the wind was against us.
we were so tired.
we were so exhausted.

but something just kept driving us on.

i cried whilst kayaking.
tears just streamed.

i was trying so hard.
and we didnt seem to be making any progress.
it really seemed as though the waves, the sea was testing us.
testing our perseverance.
testing to see when we'd cave in.

but we didnt.
i was crying.
i wanted to give up.

i cant do it.
i cant.
i'm so tired.
i'm cying.
mad! cant you see we're not moving! paddle!

that's what i told myself.
it was just so hard.
i cried beacause i was trying so hard.
and yet, couldnt succeed.

we kayaked for half an hour against the wind.
half an hour of crying.
crying and convincing myself, NO. Samantha, dont say you cant do it.
you can.

i was saying i couldnt do it.
yet trying to mentally convince myself that i could.


it was an experience i will never forget.

i pushed myself.
so much.
when we finally reached the fleet.

i cried even more.

because mad and i managed to do it.

no number of words can really fully describe how i felt while kayaking.
i'll remember the tears that's all i can say.
cos they taught me perseverance.

and when i was scrubbing the floor with the long brushing thing,
i felt that again.

that kayaking thing.


and this time.
i didnt cry.

cos i knew i had the strength to do it.
the strength to get through it.

and hey, i did.

it wasnt some hard task or anything, and i prolly sound silly typing this.
but i was just tired. and pmsing.

YEAH.

and seeing a clean basketball court.
was exactly like catching up with the fleet.

servant leadership cant be learnt from a textbook.
it's experienced.

and cleaning up after the games, made me realise.
it's not about expecting people to respect you or thinking 'nvm la, someone ELSE will do it'.
it's about gaining that respect yourself.
by example.

it's cos when you've gained it, that you'll realise you've succeeded.

no one else is going to make the change that you want to see or take credit for.
you've got to do that yourself.

you've got to do it yourself.

respect is earned.
not granted or given.

and you've got to earn it yourself.

mhmmm.
that's what the sec one orientation helped me realise.
and servant leadership.
it's leading by example.

at the end of the day, you learn something from what you've gone through.
