YSaved!
As you can see, i asked Zhen to help because she's a whole lot better at figuring things out than i am. Yes, i know you think i'm schizophrenic now. I'm part bimbo, part melancholy dancer. It's weird.
Well, i have learnt things today! i have learnt how to change my template (the thing takes html. i know, i'm so stupid.) And i've also learnt that God works in mysterious ways.
The real thermometer came. It's made of plastic, 3-d, and quite definitely 2m tall. Mrs. Ang loves it and we love Pico Art, the construction company who did it in 2 days, which Mrs. Ang told us was impossible. We were really happy, because it's just amazing! Zhen was a little disappointed when she heard we're not going to use her wonderful painting after all, though.
Maybe i can do more about the site over the weekend. I have one more chapter of chinese to study for. I shouldn't go online. i just get hooked.

Hello. Jin and Mai rock this world. They are great. They should get married. Testing. Guess who loves Cat Black.

Oh, my gosh! Why did things not come out nicely paragraphed like i wanted them to?
Zhen is teasing me for being the bimbo again. At least i got the paragraphs to work. How can this thing have html and bloggerTags at the same time? I tell you, i have no talent at computers at all.

YZombified
Got off on the wrong side of the bed this morning and everything crashed from there.
All right, figuratively, because I can't get off on the wrong side of the bed since my bed is surrounded on all corners except the one i usually get off on.
I was just really tired this morning. My eyes couldn't even open wide enough for me to put my contacts in; they kept closing and i had to force myself to wake up to let them it.
History first period and, you know, i love history. it's really interesting, but somehow something makes me sleepiest during history period. I'm just glad i survived.
The day when by pretty badly and when you're sleeping it's like you float through the day and nothing seems to register in your mind. It's not a good floating, mind you. It's a bad floating, one that makes you all melancholy and probably doesn't brighten up your friends' moods either.
We had to paint the giant thermometer and thank you Zhen! iloveyouiloveyou :) she, unlike the rest of us mere mortals, actually knows how to paint, and she's the reason why everyone knew what it was when they passed by.
I made Dad angry because I made him wait half an hour for me while I was upstairs painting the thermometer, and I felt bad about it. What kind of honouring my parents have I been doing? I just felt so terrible because of the way I'd acted today. I wasn't what you'd call a beacon of light for God. More like a zombie.
So what do i do?

YLike Clockwork
Hectic day tomorrow; what am I doing still up?
I don't know, i just wish i could stop everything and rest.
Went to Ikea today with Kim to look at stuff for the sec 4s. We told Alicia our ideas and she told us the sec 4s might not like them. Was pretty discouraged, but Sam told me they were fine. *sigh* I'm just going to talk to Alicia tomorrow.
Have to build a giant thermometer tomorrow. Going crazy, plus i have to present something on Friday.
Oh, and let's not forget the Chinese test. Speaking of Chinese, ting xie went quite well today. I studied during recess and only forgot that we have to zhao ju with the phrases and i didn't learn the meaning so i didn't know how to do it but it's all right, i'll still pass and that's the important thing.
i have to learn to leave things to God.

YBlog-Happy
I changed my name from my full name (which sounds really formal) to just jac. Yay! :)
I want to figure out how to add links and stuff but i think i'm getting too post-happy and blog-happy. I reeeeally need to get to sleep. No, don't tease me about the eyebags, E (the rest of you, for your information, i don't have any).
Oh, yes, a few things, though.
1. I'm going to call people by their real names this time, so beware. Mwahaha...:)
2. Oh, yes, anyone who has some helpful blogspot advice (like how to add comments), please look for me or email me.
3. I'm not this melancholy all the time, i'm actually rather stupid. Zhen likes to call me a bimbo, but i beg to differ. you haven't seen bimbo until you've seen Alicia. And she's proud of it! :D Shirin calls me bubbly, and i am!
4. All right, so i'm schizophrenic, too.
5. I'm going, i'm going!
Nitey-night, don't let the bedbugs bite.

All right. I'm slowly feeling my way around this place. i feel a bit like a dummy because blogspot is being so nice and user-friendly and i still can't figure out things, which is what's keeping me up. Hello, E! First person to visit here. He said it was a little too deep for him to read at this hour. i hope he comes back, anyway.
I changed my layout. That's a good thing. I shall have a terrible time waking up tomorrow but let's just go with the flow, shall we?

All right, so this is my blog.
It's a lot easier than my previous site, because i've taken a step down and just signed up at blogspot instead of creating a whole new site on frontpage. But at least i know how to do it now :)
So it's cleaner, more user-friendly and less unique, but i'll live with that. i guess i don't really need something unique, i just need something easy to navigate and update.
Being me, you'll get lots of smileys :) even though that might not reflect my mood. it's just a comforting thing; i sort of smile to reassure people that i'm not angry at them because i might get quite melancholy and then people will wonder if i'm depressing myself out, but don't worry, i'm not. i'm just sorting out things in my head by writing them, because to me writing is therapeutic.
It's pretty late at night and i don't know why; i just felt compelled to get a new blog and write. i have ting xie to study for; i need to pass at least one so my teacher won't think i'm not working. i have dance AGM to plan for, and a treasury to account for, but things can be put off because i need time with myself and God.
I got this blog because of Dan.
Okay, before your head swells up and you can't walk through your bedroom door later, Dan, it's mostly because of what you said in your blog. You see, tonight, a few hours ago, i went online to check my mail and got distracted by your blog. i liked the clean format (much better than mine) and i'd found it through Gilly's and so i decided to read. i read all your entries, because it's not superficial rubbish like some blogs, it actually has a purpose and it set me thinking about my relationship with God.
I decided i don't really like my previous blog. There were just things that bothered me. i asked myself, "do i want people to see me as God-fearing or cool?" because i had created pretty nice site, and i liked the pictures and everything in it, but something about it bothered me. i guess maybe i like simplicity.
The people who visited my previous blog can now sigh in relief. no more messy navigating and waiting for the pics to come out! just pure, simple blogging. Lots of thoughts.
So the introduction to my online journal:
Of course you wouldn't expect me to write every single thing that comes to my mind. Although the stuff i'll write in here will be pretty much private, what's the logic in that when the internet is the most public thing you can think of? the thing about me is that i don't really give myself much privacy. when something bothers me, if it bothers me enough you will hear of it sooner or later. so i don't really mind giving too much information...i think.
i'd like to think of this blog as a place like my bedroom in real life. a place where i go to journal and think and discover things. However, i think if i keep writing my parents will discover that i am way past my bedtime so i should end this soon.
I hope i keep this journal going, unlike my previous one (which you can still visit at www26.brinkster.com/mixedmedia. but i'm not very proud of it because of all the huge graphics and other stuff). it's not going to be very regular, i think, but i should be able to squeeze in entries at least once a week. long, long entries, so people like me will be glad to read them.
I'll try to blog again sometime this week; give you a feel of myself. And hopefully change the layout. Orange isn't exactly my favourite colour (i'm a pink girl :)) See you around, though.
God bless you and keep you and let His light shine upon you. :)
