My obnoxious little sister is hovering around me like a fly. I swear she is trying to drive me crazy! Whenever I use the computer, she will come and sit on the chair behind me, trying to see which websites to go to to read manga or watch anime. I hate it! I don't even have any privacy in my own home anymore!
Thus, I have spent the previous two hours on NOTHING, because of the irritating fly behind me. I have wasted my computer time doing nothing that interest me as I can't go and read manga with her behind me. She will take note of the website and go there, get addicted to manga, fail all her exams, and it shall become my fault. I don't care if she reads this. I don't give a damn.
Now, when she is finally distracted by the television, watching lousy, idiotic Taiwan game shows, I have slightly more freedom, but not complete freedom, as the television is located next to the computer. Furthermore, my computer time is OVER, so I shall stop blogging now, go sulk in my room, and probably do something like sticking a voodoo doll of my sister full of pins or something.

My younger sister's PSLE results...
Today, my younger sister got her PSLE results. She got 233/300. Not bad... First in her class again too. Unfortunately, her marks did not hit the aggregate score for Chung Cheng High School (Main). She is going to appeal, but no one in my family has the slightest inkling of how exactly do we appeal. Do we appeal after she submit the form on her choice of school? Or do we appeal before submitting the form?
On a brighter note, my sister can take Higher Chinese next year in secondary school. She got an A* for chinese, A for both English and Science and sadly, a B in Math. However, at least she got an A*. Now, my sister is trying to persuade my parents to buy her a hamster despite missing the pre-arranged score by five marks. I won't mind a hamster. Provided that it does not stink or escape from its cage.
This is going to be a short post as I am busy. My sister wants to use the computer now so I shall end here.

More money that flew away and odd dreams...
I spent more of my money on books (actually, it should be "book", not "books", as I only bought one recently). I spent $24 on Necropolis, book four of The Power of Five series. The book looks horrible. It is green in colour, and it's not an eye-pleasing green either. I hate green books. Especially if all the sides of the book is green. So now, I have a green edged book among my collection. How lovely!
Out of the $24, $4 is from my sister (yes, I have to resort to borrowing money from my younger sister as I did not bring enough money. To tell the truth, I brought exactly zero dollars out on that fateful day) and $20 is loaned from my mother. However, I have not returned them the money yet, and hopefully, they will just forget about it. My little sister is currently gloating over the fact that she is first in class while I am only second(when I was in primary six), and I never fail to point out (almost everyday) the fact that my class was way better than hers. But still, I lost to her in terms of the prize received. She got $60 worth of book vouchers including those from her CCA, and model pupil award (sigh... The advantages of being in a average class. It's just so much easy to get rewards and prizes). Grrrrr... In my time, Kong Hwa wasn't so rich.
Anyway, nowadays, I get really odd dreams. For instance, on saturday/sunday night,I dreamt that I was at my grandmother's house, and she gave each of us (that is, my sisters and I) some White Rabbit sweets. My sisters then promptly started to eat the sweets. I watched my sisters chew on their sweets with obvious enjoyment and my thoughts drifted towards the fact that White Rabbit sweet was recently found to be contaminated with melamine. However, I could not resist the temptation and I unwrapped one of the sweets and ate it. I tried to chew it, and I realized that the sweet was as hard as rocks, and not at all soft like its meant to be. I wanted to ask my sisters whether are the sweets hard or not, but as can be seen from their moving jaws, they were not having any difficulties at all in chewing the sweets. Not wanting to be laughed at by my sisters, I had a few more tries in trying to chew the sweet, but to no avail. I was getting really pissed off and I woke up, to find that my teeth hurts as I was clenching my jaws tightly together. How ridiculous! A few more odd dreams were about Zhi Qi and Brenice getting hit by a watermelon (sorry about that, but I have no control over my dreams) that was being rolled by students of 2IT. Another one was consisted of me running in a big grassy field when suddenly, I was blown really high up in the air by the wind, and when I started to plummet down to earth, a parachute popped up behind me, causing me to float down slowly. One of the recent ones consisted of my school getting blown up by a bomb. That was my favourite dream as no school will mean no homework.
Anyway, I have to spend my computer time on other activities, so I shall end my blog entry here.

Money that flew away...
As you can see from the title, this blog entry is about me spending money. I am really horrible. I spent $62.60 on books in just three days. Furthermore, that sum of money is dug out of my own pocket. Sob... I am now practically bankrupt.
On the other hand, I managed to complete two sets of books. I am glad to announce that I have finally completed The Black Magician Trilogy much to the delight of my cousin who lives next door (she has been pestering me to borrow or buy the first book for months) and sadly, I have also completed The Twilight Saga much to the surprise of my cousin and friends. I also can't believe that me, the Twilight hater have spent $49.60 on Twilight, New Moon, and Breaking Dawn. And my reason for buying them despite not being a fan is simply because of the fact that I have the third book, Eclipse, along with a nasty habit of mine which is feeling that it is compulsory to have a complete set of books. And why do I have Eclipse in the first place? I shall explain now...
I had the third book ages ago as I needed it in a nasty plot which involves lending it to my cousin ( the one who lives next door) in return for her asking her elder sister to lend me a particular book, The High Lord. In the end, when I got home, I realized in horror that my cousin bought it as well, on the very same day. So, I ended up persuading my sister to buy The High Lord for me as a birthday present.
Sigh... Just thinking about that incident brings tears into my eyes. I am currently mourning the loss of my money that flew away. Although I could have waited for the price of Twilight, New Moon and Breaking Dawn to fall (that's unlikely, but one can always hope), I dare not wait, as to my absolute horror, I realized that the movie edition of the book is out. This means that the cover of the book is plastered all over with the ugly actor's/actress's face, and I feared that if I don't buy the books now, they will soon all be with the horrible movie edition cover and will not be able to match with the third book that I have. So I bought them all in a span of two days (I could not find New Moon on the first day), and out of the three books I bought, two are defected. Twilight was defected as the pages are kind of wavy due to the fact that the pages were not glued properly, and New Moon was defected as one of the corners of the book cover (at the back thankfully) had a crease caused by careless people folding it down. And I didn't spot those defects at first when i bought them as they were wrapped up in plastic thus it was hard to examine the book properly. But still, since I harbour no great love towards those two books, I shall not bother myself by running to two different shopping centres to change those two books.
Now, due to the lack of nothing to say (I could type about the shopping trip with my friends yesterday, but it shall take too long) I shall end my blog entry here and start to read manga.

Nothing much...
Hooray!!! I bought Brisingr!!! And its the holidays!!! Unfortunately for me, I have not even started on my holiday homework except for the first day of holidays. I must have hit my head or something as I completed 8 weeks worth of work in a day. But then after that, I have not even laid my eyes on my homework since.
Anyway, there is a class chalet coming up and I don't think I shall be going as I am not very bonded with my class except for a few people. Furthermore, I need my father's consent in order to go, and I am not going to waste my time and grovel at his feet to obtain permission to go for the 3 days 2 nights stay. However, I may soon change my mind as it will be the last time 2HM is together.
I have nothing much to say now, and I shall not keep you away from your other duties with my mindless prattling, so I shall stop blogging now and mind my own business.

Results...
I had a horrible dream last night.
I dreamt that I got my results, and my overall percentage was only 65%. Furthermore, I also dreamt that I got into triple science plus elective history which although is listed as my second choice, is no great love of mine as I absolutely loathe history (my true love is geography). It was a horrible nightmare as we were going to get our results today. However, my fears are unfounded as when I got my report book, I realized that I had scored reasonably well as my overall percentage was 71%. Hooray!!! Now, perhaps I would get my wish and study geography next year.
Today, two of my teachers gave as snacks as rewards. Unfortunately for me, the teachers gave lots of chocolates, and due to the fact that I had a sore throat, I was unable to enjoy them (for the present at least. My throat is much better now). As school ended earlier today, I went to Parkway along with Zhi Qi as we both wanted to look for books. We first went to Popular, and as I salivate at the books (mainly Inkdeath and Brisingr. I couldn't buy them as I only had two dollars with me as I wasn't intending to go out), Zhi Qi bought Twilight and New Moon. We tried looking for Eclipse for a while, and when our efforts were proved to be futile, we left our lunch. We went to McDonald's first as I could pay for my food with my EZ-link card, however, when we set foot into it, I remembered that I had a sore throat and was not allowed to eat heaty food. Hence, we left and went to the food court instead. I borrowed two dollars from Zhi Qi and bought a bowl pork porridge. As she was not hungry, Zhi Qi didn't eat anything. I took a long time to eat my porridge (I still burnt my tongue though, despite all my efforts) and when I was done, we went to Borders together. As Zhi Qi wandered around looking for Eclipse, I oogled at the inflated prices of the books and salivate at Brisingr again (strange enough, it was cheaper than compared to Popular by two dollars). I did not bother to salivate at Inkdeath as its price was more expensive than at Popular by $9-$10 (what a rip-off!). After walking around and oogling at the books I could never afford and tinkering with the computer with Zhi Qi, we left and went home. To my surprise, it was only around twelve. I debated against waiting for my younger sister and going home together, but seeing as I had half-an-hour to kill before she is going to be released from school, I went home first.
In all, it was a good day despite the fact that I had not bought any books. But still, the holidays are here and I can buy more books and not to mention, play all day!!!!

My return to blogging
Mwahahaha... After a long break, I have finally start to blog again. I am glad to announce that the exams are long over and that I am free to do whatever I want. Yipee! I have finished with watching Card Captor Sakura, and have started on Akazukin Chacha... I swear, that sister of mine is a bad influence on me. I have changed from a pure and innocent girl (well, not that innocent I suppose) to one that is mad about manga and anime (are they the same thing? I can't tell the difference).
Anyway, I have learnt about the importance of time management. I have to juggle my time between reading manga, watching anime, reading books, blogging, eating, sleeping, etc... It is especially hard to juggle my computer time as I have only one and a half hour to read manga, watch anime, read blogs and of course, update my blog. Unfortunately for me, I take three hours to type a single blog post. Today, I chose the subject combination I wanted for next year. I do hope I get into the one I wanted, and that I will be in the same class with at least one of my good friends next year. I don't want to go through the hassle of getting to know new people. I hate socializing with strangers, it is always so awkward to talk to them, especially if you have nothing to talk about. But with my friends, we can go "Yakkity, yakkity, yak yak yak" about all things under the sun and even have an argument over how do you pronounce the name "Anne" (this started after Wei Qi read Anne of Green Gables and I started to talk to her about the book). Currently, one of my best friend, Vivian, is ill (get well soon Vivian!!!), so I have post-poned the stupid chinese recording thingy till tomorrow. I hate chinese recording. For one thing, my chinese sucks major big time, and I always sound all weird and quavering (due to fright and nervousness I suppose) when I speak into the microphone. Furthermore, sometimes you can hear me breathing in the back ground, and it is really distracting to have someone wheezing into the microphone like they are going to collapse from asthma soon or something.
Yesterday, I went back to school for nothing. The pupils in my class were supposed to go back to school to prepare for Zhong Zheng Bian Bian Bian, and like a stupid fool, I really went. In the end, it turned out that only pupils who are involved are supposed to go back. So, Wei Qi and I decided to go out to Parkway to shop for books before going home. However, it was raining, and we went to thebus stop together, debating whether should we go shopping or not while one of our shoulders were getting wet in the rain (did I neglect to mention that Wei Qi had left her umbrella at home and that we were sharing mine? Well, apparently I did miss it out...). Upon reaching the bus stop, we decided to cancel our shopping trip as it was very inconvenient due to the rain. I lent my umbrella with Wei Qi and then boarded my bus home. When I alighted at the bus stop, I messaged my sister and "ordered" her to fetch me from there with an umbrella. Aaaahhh... The advantage of have a younger sister... You can just boss them around and they will go running aroung to do your bidding. I am not cruel by the way. My elder sister does the same thing to me, like ordering me to fetch the dustbin to her, helping her to throw rubbish, fetch this, fetch that for her, the list could just go on for eternity (well, maybe not that long)...
Anyway, my computer time is almost up, so I will go blogging again (hopefully, that is), in the near or far future...
