Miss Riyo Miro, a 20-year-old dancer from Japan, was crowned Miss Universe 2007 Monday night! Riyo seemed very nervous, and held hands with Miss Brazil. Then when Miss Brazil was announced first runner up, she visibly took a HUGE step back, and her hands flew involuntarily to her pretty little mouth.

Of course nobody paid any attention to Miss Brazil. Okay, she teared almost immediately as she received her crown and her bouquet of flowers, and then she had to compose herself NOT to ruin her mascara and actually smile as she walked down the runway smile and wave.

Miss USA, Rachel Smith, this really sweet and beautiful girl, slipped on the platform, actually, on her butt, but she stood right up and smiled and primped like nothing had happened. Good girl! If I was the judge, I'd have given her first runner up. Her face was tiny and she was really young and pretty. Not to mention tanned and bronze! (: Miss China won the Miss Congeniality trophy. No offence-but I hate her. She is just so-white and... yuck. Gross. Ew. I hate her.

Miss Korea and the rest (besides Miss Japan and Miss USA) seemed very normal, actually, not to mention big-chested. Miss Japan seemed to be the only one who didn't have chest implants (I can't remember for Miss USA). That's good.

And Miss Japan had to keep holding on to the humungous crown wobbling on her black little head, and backstage people were crowding around her and kissing her and she just was really shocked, I think, and dazed or something. (: But, okay, fine. She is GORGEOUS.

Riyo Mori was born December 12, 1986 in Shizuoka, Japan. She is 5 ft'8 (1.73 m), has black hair and brown eyes. She is a lifelong ballet dancer, and she says 'My mind went blank' of the winning moment. Yes, I think that was very obvious. (:

Hello people!

Today was the RGS Openhouse! Not to mention accompanied by the stupid hot weather! I cannot understand why it just freaking refuses to rain. I hate this place. Anyway!

Okay, so my dad and I went to RGS, and then we met these Girls Brigade people who thrust this Girls Brigade flyer at me. And then my dad asked them if they knew where the AVA Room was (duh!) and then he asked them to take me there. Do you not get it? Never mind, go on reading.

And then when we reached there the room was empty. I was totally humiliated, okay? How embarrassing. They were like, 'If you want to find out anything, you can just ask any RGS girl, we're all very friendly.' In case you are severely retarded and do not understand what this means, it screams HUMILIATION AND EMBARRASSMENT okay? So after that I went to find my dad (the idiot) again and then we went to the hall to see some exhibits and then I went back to the AVA Room thinking I was alone and I didn't know anybody.

Then suddenly Wei Ling appeared in my line of vision along with GG and Hillary. I was kind of relieved. At least some of my kind were there, right? Then after that the Deputy Principal (who is really, really scary) made us move to the center, and I ended up seating in front of Wing Shan. Then I bullied her into sitting with me then Sara ended up seating in front of me. (:

Then the entire talk, HYQ was texting Wing Shan that she was somewhere behind us or whatever, but we just could not see her. Bleh. Then after we went out we started playing. Sara pulled off Wing Shan's hairband and messed her hair up. Then she dangled her hairband over the railing. I was laughing like hell, okay. Then finally, Sara threw it down onto the first floor.

While Wing Shan rushed down to get it, she was making comments like, 'Ooh, look! That woman is going to step on it!' and 'Haha, that lady just stepped on it!' Okay, it was like damn funny. Then we hid and then Sara sort of booed Wing Shan from across the entire air space. Hahaha.

Then after that we went back and I borrowed alot of books from the library. But I still have to finish Meaghan's Plain Truth. (: Okay, I'm going to watch 28 Days Later now. Or not. Depends.

Hey guys!

Okay, summer vacation has officially begun! Woo-hoo! I'm not going anywhere, though, 'cos I gotta prepare for my PSLE! Bleh. Anyway, we have 10 mock papers, I think, and one book review and too compositions. ): You call this a vacation?

Anyway, tomorrow is the RGS Basketball openhouse! Me, Cheryl, RF, and some other people are going to watch Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End tomorrow before going to the openhouse. (: Hehehe.

Anyway, guess what? My dad didn't scream! He just said that at least I didn't fail and I have to try harder for my Prelims! Yay! Miracles do happen after all! xp

Anyway, I have to go create a calender for myself where I will write down all the stuff going on for my this vacation. So I don't have to stress myself out trying NOT to forget my appointments, even though I'll still do that, but whatever.

And! My cousin's coming over to stay for one week, and she'll bring along her Maltese-Shih-Tzu two year-old called Surprise. (: Fun fun fun! But I'm also worried it will affect my PSLE. Sigh. I must study very hard. My goal is to score 270 and above. If I don't pin that score and don't get into RGS either, I think I might just commit suicide.

Happy Summer Vacation!

Yesterday and today was the P4 Inter-house Basketball competition!

Us (Raffles Basketball Semior Team 2007) were the referees. Damn fun! Yesterday I didn't have a whistle, so I alternated between odd jobs - writing scores on the score board, drawing stupid stuff, taking pictures, and buying drinks. (: Haha.

It was quite fun, but I didn't really do anything. Except buy Shenna a soft drink... and look at my ugly picture in Cheryl's camera... and referee the last game with RF. ): Hee-hee.

Anyway, today I got to referee! One game only, actually, so? At least I got to referee right? I did it with ZX, and then after that just hung around at the referee table, looking at the game, yelling at people to Excuse me? Can you please sit down? and when they didn't respond EXCUSE ME! HEY? PEOPLE? CAN YOU PLEASE SIT DOWN? OI! AUNTIE! SIT DOWN LAH! YOUR ASS IS IN MY FACE! Hahaha.

Anyway, then I lent Cheryl my whistle, 'cos she doesn't have one or something, and then I became the scorekeeper. Who doesn't do anything, really, except sit there and shake your leg, oh, and yell at people to please SIT DOWN! HELLO? SIT DOWN! Because the scores are recorded on the whiteboard.

Then the teacher-in-charge (I don't know her name) treated us to ice cream! Yumm! And then RF and I took the stairs, and I thought it was supposed to be at the 4th floor, so I waited outside the lift to BOO! Cheryl and Faye and somebody else I can't remember. (: But nobody came.

Then finally we went down to the 3rd floor and got our Cornetto ice cream! I took the last double-chocolatey one I think so RF had to take the other blue one. Tee-hee-hee. Then we had to go upstairs again and I had to wait with her until her teacher came and then wait for another millenium while her teacher gave her her homework while my ice cream melted in my hand! ROAR!

But anyway, got back report book and exam scripts! I have to show them to my dad tonight! Boo-hoo-hoo. He's going to start screaming at me. ): How? Who will save me?

ROAR! I AM GOING TO DIE! BOO-HOO-HOO.

Hello? Why isn't anybody here to save me?

I've been running away too long
Hiding for an eternity
Seeing nothing in my mind
Tell myself I don't care

In the velvety darkness
Where nobody knew
Nobody saw me
Nobody could reach me

Shielding my heart
With a Wall
Pushing everything away
Immerse in nothingness

See your smiles
Pull another veil down
Move a mountain to shield
See your fist pump the air
Turn away and wonder
What I'm doing here
Why I'm here

When you shout
I deceive my mind
Tell my soul there's another one
Block my mind
So it can't hurt me

Everybody learns
How to protect themselves
Everytime it attacks
I watch and add another defense

I was unsure
Then you shouted
You screamed
You smiled
You laughed

Betrayal slapped me
I watched it crack a line
Between the rock
That was you and me
Looked away
Felt the tears spring
Cursed myself

I don't need your pity
I won't crawl at your feet
Won't grovel
Never feed on your sympathy
The grey smirks

Questions crashed in my mind
Walked alone
I tried to make sense of everything
The bitter taste of faint betrayal
Of you
Stinging in my heart
Hovering behind my eyes

Peeled back the mask
Searched the waves of truth
Forced my face
In the lightning of reality

Don't need your sympathy
You never knew
I'm coming back now
Brush a wing in your face
See you stare

You thought I was dead
Gone away forever
You crowned yourself king
Raised your hands
To your newfound joy

Now hear my cry
See how I soar
A streak in the sky
The terror in your dreams

See the certainty unravel
Surprise take you over
So fast
Twist and turn
Flex my strength

The roar echoing in the skies
Do you hear my voice
I'm coming back now
Just watch me.

Yesterday was the NAPHA test for 1.6 km walk/run. I ran with Nicole and Michelle and Liang Xuan were standing in the middle of the track. I bet it was Michelle's idea. Anyway, I came in 6th while Nicole was 8th, and my timing was 9.45 minutes. I improved from last year but still can't beat my sister's 9.16/18. ): But it was fun! It was drizzling and it was so cool and Nicole and Michelle swopped shoes a couple of times. (:

Anyway, today is pretty uneventful. I discovered that Nicole wants to read the PRIVATE series. So I'm supposed to borrow them from the library for her. It's high class. So you should read them. I also finished Untouchable, PRIVATE no. 3. I discovered that the library doesn't have it yet so I purchased it from Borders, and I so want to read the 4th book, which has been in stores since last month! But apparently Borders doesn't have it yet. Nor, I doubt, do any of the bookstores in Singapore. Why is Singapore so slow? We're suffering.

Okay, tomorrow I'm going with my dad to collect the $100 Avril Lavigne CD hamper at the Mediacorp Radio Station or whatever! How cool is that? I'll keep you guys updated on what's in the hamper. Totally. Okay, now let's do a recap of what happened between me, Nicole, Liang Xuan and Michelle today.

1)Nicole came to school and sat on some icky stuff on the floor of the parade square.
2)I discovered I'm supposed to lend her the PRIVATE series book 2 but instead returned it to the library.
3)Nicole brandished her Ferrero Roche chocolate to Michelle on our daily routine to the bathroom before recess.
4)Michelle tried to get Nicole to give it to her. But in vain. DUH.
5)I decided to buy Lotus Leaf Rice for recess since I haven't eaten it before.
6)I was dismayed to learn it was sold out.
7)Michelle asked the stall vendor for blue jelly and I learned that you can ask the stall vendor for blue jelly.
8)Nicole bribed Michelle into buying Fried Noodles for her. Sara Ng overheard and instead, she accepted the bribery.
9)I reminded Nicole to bribe me into doing stuff for her in the future since Michelle has earned money doing stuff for Nicole.
10)We all got Michelle to stoop down so we'd seem taller than her. (:
11)Nicole got Michaela to buy Mineral Water for her for free.
12)On the way back to class, Nicole/Michelle poured water down Liang Xuan's head.
13)Liang Xuan was freaked out (even though this has happened numerous times) and started trying to avoid us.
14)We got the idea of pouring the cold water down Liang Xuan's neck.
15)We ran up the stairs and hid to 'BOO!' her but she saw us. Plan ruined. ):
16)We went up to class and Michelle removed her shoes and I found, my to my delight, that she is not as tall as she appears to be while wearing her shoes.
17)I kidnapped Michelle's shoes.
18)Michelle got them back and placed them on my table.
19)I screamed at her and placed them on her table and cleaned my table.

I know, our day sounds damn fun right? Hahaha.
(:

My examination results shocked me into silence. I was forced to think about the future. It fueled me with the willpower to stand up again.

However, one question remains in my mind. Can I do this? What if, because of my one mistake, my future is ruined forever? What if I can't get into RGS? What if I don't do well enough for the PSLE and RGS rejects my DSA application? What then? Will that mean the end of my dreams of Ivy League colleges and NYC?

I have to do this. I have to.

or it's over.

Sometimes, things work out even worse than you'd expected.

Life sucks, doesn't it? I received my examination script and thrust it into my friend's arms. "Look," I said. She flipped the page and her eyes widened, her jaw dropped. Oh, God. This cannot be good. "What?" I asked, snatching it back from her. "No, don't look..." I flipped the page again and stared at the hateful digits stamped onto the page.

For all of you losers who have come here to laugh at my downfall, FUCK OFF. I'm not kidding.

Oh, God. My dad is going to kill me. How did this happen? When did this happen? "My father is going to kill me," I said. "Yeah, I know!" My friend replied. Okay, chill. What the heck am I going to do? "Did you get a B?" I twirled around in my seat to face the girls behind me eagerly waiting for my answer. I stared at them. "Hey, did she get a B?" They turned instead to my friend. She nodded. Bad move.

"What score?" They insisted. She shook her head. "She's not going to tell you because she won't betray me," I snarled. Fine, whatever. Coincidentally, some people just don't know when to stop. The nosy girls behind me eventually find out what I'd scored. Uh-huh. So? What the hell? Who the fuck cares? The president? Please.

What am I going to do?, you think. The answer is: I do not know. Probably work my ass off until the Preliminary Examinations only to fail again? Possibly. Yeah, sure.

When my dad sees it, he is going to scream at me the entire night, he will raise his voice and widen his eyes, he will gesture wildly and throw about words like 'failure', 'PSLE', 'think about it'. Guess what, Dad? I have. Or maybe I won't.

I'm forgeting about it.

fuck.

Hey everybody.

Guess what? The long-awaited 987 letter is finally here! I got it today, and it has the 987 stamp and everything, and I'm supposed to go and get it between 7 May and 28 May only on Mondays to Fridays between 10 am to 5.30 am. All these points were written in bold and underlined. So strict.

Anyway, exams are over! My goal is to get over my stupid math results. Actually, I think part of the reason I flunked it is because I flunked my stupid English paper and I was soooo depressed so I flunked my math too. Then I told myself, 'Hey, you just flunked a math paper. It's no big deal,'. What? I have to bluff myself!

But anyway, I did quite well for my Science paper, and this stupid computer's sound system is not working again. I am way past annoyed, and I can't say the computer's brand in case they sue me. Okay, I am going to just wander round the net now. See-ya. Buh-bye. Have fun.

Happy Birthday Nicole! And don't spoil your shoes again! Must wash!

:) Kiss-kiss. Buh-bye.
