As the tears scald and start;
You shall love your crooked neighbour
With your crooked heart.’

つけかえた頭で 彼らはからかうの
not being thoughtful about life is a tragic excuse for not blogging. :’-(
also, i don’t exactly know where each stands in the causal link. so in a desperate (very) attempt to regain some sort of contemplative ability, i’m here. hi.
1.
i am growing old. and tired. and jaded.
2.
so are my parents, apparently. i sat in the car for a full ten minutes chatting with my mom and bullying my sister, wondering why my dad hasn’t started driving: he didn’t know i was in the car.
3.
i have come to terms with my largely carnivorous and dairy-based diet. everyone’s all like, omg weiqing please eat vegetables you disgusting methane-filled toxic wasteland of a child. so after the week of fried potatoes, i attempted a 40% increase in vegetable intake – including mushrooms, some dubious bits of spinach leaves (which were absolute horrors), and other things that look like they belong to a vegetable patch but i’m not sure what they actually are. also, i ate fruits. FRUITS. instead of chips, i subbed peanut butter into my snack bar. i am now extremely addicted to peanut butter. it’s a kind of vegetable right? nuts are vegetables – so are peanuts? k let’s just leave it as yes.
anyhus, instead of transforming into the supersonic being, it’s made me lethargic and weak-kneed and hungry almost all the time. so i’ve decided, screw this shit. my body is probably wired differently and can only be healthily sustained with preservatives and processed bacteria and stuff. so i’m not going to eat vegetable ever again. that’s all.
4.
you would think that not seeing your closest friends for a long time can reduce friction, but when we pass a level of friendship where you can suspend basic respect without fear of losing one another, it’s difficult to truly enjoy the company. is it because we’re so secure about each other, there’s no urgency to sustain it?
we’re so caught up with ourselves, no one’s bothered to realise that i’m the only one without another one of us where i am, so you just sidestep my need to share about my life, and sidestep my developments with a ‘you’ve changed’. so why am i the one having to listen and advice when there are others right there with you. when do i get my chance to tell you about my experience without your judgement?
it’s getting hard to reconcile both sides of my life, and sometimes i think the current me is better off with those in school who bother to understand and actually care.
5.
most of the time now, i want to be alone.
6.
mugging can no longer get you anywhere. even if you’re as intelligent a being as me. your only salvation now is super-mugging, of which i am not yet capable of but will soon enough.

land of the taken
I’M NOT DEAD.
Or maybe metaphorically.
I would love it if I had enough time to make observations about myself and the world so I can update this space with charming philosophical hypothesis with anecdotes and witty asides.
Or if I were really desperate I could be vapid and gloss over the fact that my life is devoid of reflection by posting lots of fancy town photos with food and dresses.
Or if I were trying to be elusive I could post insinuative whimsical statements about my deep inherent emotions and struggles with the world.
But nein. I don’t even know what I’m so busy with, but I just am. I’ve had no time for proper reflection – right now my outlook in life is mired and I haven’t sorted out what I really think about things. Also, I am kind of grim about human beings in general. But give me some time to think that through.
I had two days and a night off after Block Tests which I unfortunately did not fully exploit – I was so exhausted I spent a good amount of time at home sleeping. Now it’s back to the books and school and really, no whimsy for me.
The amount of Is in this post says vaguely something about my priorities now.
Also, this:
Which Xinyi and Beni at all costs banned me from uploading on Facebook. WHY? It’s so adorable. Anyway it will be here so your friends will not accidentally stumble across it and judge you for being friends with me. And all our mutual friends who may view this are so strange themselves, they have no right to judge. So there hehehe.
Funtimes, where are you? :-(

Epic Journey of ’10
THIS POST SPANNED OVER 3 DAYS. Started on the late afternoon of 31st December, ended, well – now. First hour of 3rd Jan 2011. SO YEAH PARDON THE INCONGRUENCE.
Granted, 2010 hasn’t been the prettiest year of my life. In fact, I feel very much that I have failed to live it to the fullest. )-: Achievements wise, I have nothing except horrendously crappy results to show. I won’t give myself excuses: I’ve really let myself loose to sloth this year. Being in a whole different environment and everything was my reason for sudden lack of motivation and reluctance to hold on to opportunities, but still. IT’S OVER (well, soon!)
And 2011’s just gonna be so much better. It has to be. I hope.
Anyways, 2010 isn’t totally a lost case! There WERE happytimes~ for happygirl~.
SO. THINGS (AND PEOPLE). THAT MADE ME HAPPY IN 2010.
Right that just sounds really lame but I’M SRY K I haven’t been blogging for ages and while I was once so incoherent no one could make out my cheesiness if any – now I just sound very tedious and torpid don’t I? Nevertheless.
HWA CHONG. I don’t think I could have survived the year without A16.
Granted, we had our reservations about each other at first. I have no idea why – the seismic shift in our lives perhaps – or simply because we were so Arts-ish, there was a whole lot of drama surfacing in A16 all the time. We basically had a love-hate relationship with school, and oscillated between immense depression and lethargy to bouts of insanity and spiralling into madness.
So INITIALLY I got sidetracked by sentiments and drafted out this ten paragraphs worth of dedication to EVERY ONE of the A16 girls, which I have decided to omit as it’s a little too overwhelming and irrelevant. And also because the one paragraph for the boys was slightly offensive. (I’M JOKING. It was v nice to everyone. I merely compared you guys to primates..) BUT I JUST WANT Y’ALL TO KNOW I LOVE EACH ONE OF YOU A16 GIRLS A LOT YEAH KNTHNXBAI. LIKE UNICORNS AND BUTTERFLIES~
Chinese New Year (I forgot, but am guessing from the decorations) with the Muggers. WE LOOK AS AWKWARD AS EVER, but hey. That’s the way we roll.
More awkward photos. This is here because it’s the beginning and I’m less discriminate with choosing photos. WE LOOK RETARDED AS USUAL but at the same time so happy and gay with all the blue skies and green grass that I thought – it just had to be here. These are the people I love more than anything else in the world.
And of course, THE ROCKING HORZ. I know we spelt it in some obscure incorrect manner but I kinda don’t recall how exactly. SOMETHING LIKE THAT. We look all sandy and sticky, also slightly deranged. But HAHA. A16!
And of course, THE CLASS DEBBIE AND I CONSTANTLY TERRORIZE. Serene, Lydia and Jiax, thanks for everything. :-) All the times we just laugh and laugh and forget about everything else.
BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE SO FUN TO BE WITH, LIKE!
At the same time, crazying around the place with the NATALIE ENG.
Trips out that result in a steep increase in photo count. Of course, thanks to Vanessa’s newly acquired MacBook. :-) HERE ARE MORE PEOPLE I LOVE LIKE MAD. Though yes, again, we look like rabid chipmunks here but. Y’ALL ARE ALWAYS PRETTY TO ME.
More of the muggers’ awesomeness. Have no idea what I was doing but hey cmon… OHKAY NO I CAN’T THINK OF A GOOD EXCUSE.
AND THEN OF COURSE THERE WAS CAP. 5 days (was it 5? cuz well THAT’S JUST TOO SHORT A TIME FOR ABSORBING AWESOMENESS.) I couldn’t really find the picture with the boys doing their legendary slut dance lah yeah, but we don’t need evidence to prove your absolute skankiness.
THERE WERE SO MANY PICCIES and I didn’t know which to choose but anyways THIS cuz we look semi-sane, and this time most of us were in it. WHICH IS A MEAN FEAT, TRUST ME ON THAT – considering the manner in which we scurry about like bunnies on crack.
ALSO, A BONUS GEOFF! Haha :-)
Besides the slut and fun, I have to say – it was an absolute treat meeting and knowing like-minded people who don’t just appreciate arts and share your passion BUT WHO ARE INCREDIMAZING AT IT. SEE WHAT I DID THERE. I invented a new word hur that’s so CAP-ish right. Right? Right k ANYHUS. There were damn talented writers I met and their stuff blew me away I was just like WOAH wth am I doing here man. BUT I’M GLAD I WAS CUZ. YOU. GUYS.
Really. I love you all so, so bloody much. AND NOOO WHY DO I LOOK SPAZZ IN ALL THE PHOTOS.
AGAIN, THE SPASMODIC. Still, to be on stage again with one of my oldest and bestest friend was amazing. HAI CELINE. YES IT WAS AMAZING.
AND ALSO OF COURSE I SHAMELESSLY GOT MYSELF ON TEEVEE HURHUR KTHNXBAI. Just take this as shameless self-plugging okay…And self-plugging just sounds so, so bad.
AND THEN BACK AGAIN TO SCHOOL. Alright I’ll admit it was HORRENDOUS. But lookie here! THE ABOVE WAS REALLY WHAT I WENT TO SCHOOL FOR. Yeah all the antics kept me going. AND HOMG. THE THINGS WE DO.
SEE THESE GIRLS HERE? Yeah, they’re awesome to the nth power. <3
MY FAVORITE PEOPLE AGAIN. Even though Beni very obviously have a serious distaste for me. BUT IT’S K I STILL LOVE YOU MUCH MUCH. <3 Rei is just all ‘Ooh pretty picture whoo!’ HAHA.
I didn’t want this here on a public domain cuz Y I LOOK SO LIKE THAT? AGAIN? But I really wanted a photo with Ran cuz we seem to have none. SO HERE IT IS. Someone who kept me entertained when I was in utter doldrums throughout the year. AND WHO WILL BE HERE ALL THE TIME NEXT YEAR.
OH OKAY I FOUND ANOTHER ONE. HAI RICHARD, TOO! <3
AND THEN THERE WAS MAF! It’s so typical of Hwach to have MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL as their giant event of the year. I don’t get why we didn’t have more photos with the great deco and the fireball thing (K SRY IT WAS JUST V CHINESE BUT SO SPECTACULAR.) but yeah this is the most MAF-y one I found. Thinking back, it was ZHEN DE HEN MEI LI.
I’m experiencing a crushing realization that I look SO STRANGELY SPASMODIC in all the photos documenting events of this year. That’s just.. really sad. And my resolution for ’11 will be to try and look Not Spastic in photos kbye.
AND THEN THERE WAS THE KILLER EOYs THAT HONESTLY RUINED MY ENTIRE YEAR WHERE WE ALL LOOKED LIKE ZOMBIES EXCEPT WITH LOTS OF RESENTMENT TOWARDS THE EDUCATION SYSTEM. So trust me it wasn’t a pretty sight and thus the drought of pictures.
Alright here. One of the few taken in Starbucks in between studying/procrastinating. IDG WHY I HAVE SO LITTLE PICTURES WITH THESE TWO. At that time I hung out most with them and we reputedly are Born To Camwhore SO WHERE ZE PICTURES BETCH? But anyhu YAY Xin totally grabs hold of all chances to look unglam in photos so I’m always spared when she’s around.
THEN CAME PW.
HAI MAI PEE-W GROUP. Although again I cement the fact that I am the anti-existence of Barney Stinson (read: never has a bad photo) and basically looks deranged EVERY TIME I’m caught on film, YOU GUYS LOOK GREAT… in comparison. K no la. We’re so awesome-sauce and I’ll never forget our epic-ness. Srsly I couldn’t have asked for a better group. Awesome insights, and frickin’ efficient (well okay not me BUT OK LA HOR I GOT PROVIDE.. pen and paper.) I really hope we all get A with a * :-).
AND EVEN MORE. We really have a thing for class bonding. Ah but who can help it WE LOVE EACH OTHER MUCH MUCH HEH.
Picnic with lovely people just lazing around. ILY GUYS. AND I KNOW THE FOCUS IS ON THE GRASS LIKE SO WEIRD BUT I HOPE YOU DON’T MIND CUZ I WANT AT LEAST ONE PHOTO WHERE I DON’T LOOK STRANGE IN IT. THANKS.
I look like some very very happy cheekopek standing in between Jessica and Zephyr. Who, besides looking v smexy that day, WUZ ALSO WEARING BUNNY EARS! Hi, if you two are reading this, I MISS YOU TWO (and all the talking-talking, random outings we have.)
FAC OUTING #2 OF THE YEAR! K I SWEAR I didn’t pick photos of me looking retarded. 90% were like that. But here I don’t mind it as much cuz I mean LOOK AT JERRY. LOL. And if that isn’t enough, LOOK AT THE JOKER BEHIND ME. Like, literally the Joker.
A16 WITH MS YEO. WE WILL MISS YOU SO MUCH MS YEO, REALLY! <3 I think we were all kinda high then.
AND THEN THERE WAS CAMP RE:ACT! I was like YAY~ PLAY WITH KIDS. But it was so much more than that. I always thought Sec Twos were just tottery little potatoes who’re (no offense) with the verbal abilities of… well, a potato. BUT NUUUUU. THEY WERE JUST SO INSANELY TALENTED. Their attitude, aptitude and originality was so fresh and honestly I think they taught me a whole lot more than I did them. NO!!!, I didn’t do them, I meant – k you get what I mean la wtv. YOU KIDS!!! ARE! SO! HOMG.
The camp was VERY well-ran, also. I had a blast even as a facilitator WITH THE V DAZZLING GROUP.. (oh heck I forgot the number) AND JOY. OHHHH RIGHT. We were group 4. I just figured from the finger gestures but yeah I’M SRY I’m slightly ‘tarded.
THESE KIDS ARE SO CUTE AND TALENTED. But also damn scary to take care of. I had several consecutive mini heart attacks when they all defied my shrieks of terror and jay-walked.
All three of us were completely oblivious of each other, and seem intent individually to present the most questionable pose/expression possible. That was after a series of very intense bad dancing and imitating~ things. SO AHEM YEAH. FUN JI BUA.
Holidays and ALL THE SHOPPING AND STARBUCKS AND HANGING OUT AT XIN’S THAT ENSUED.
YEAH I remember there was THE SHOPPING. At Haji, at FEP, at Bugis. IDK THERE WEREN’T ANY PHOTOS cuz we were so intent on allowing our brains to be digested by the vapid black hole of teenage vanity and materialism. But ’twas fun.
And left me pretty broke, at that.
AND THEN THE MOST INCREDIBLE THING HAPPENED TO ME.
AWAKEN CAMP BY TEH AMPLIFY MINISTRY!!!
I met God again. And this time, I didn’t just settle for a meet-and-greet.
I got to know Him.
All I can say is, I had such a great time, whenever I think about that four days I get all tingly and happy inside. It’s like being in love. BUT WITH JESUS. SO YAY.
Also, to having a fantastic group. I don’t think I tell y’guys this enough but I really do love y’all. AND I CAN’T WAIT FOR FOLLOW-UP ON THE 22ND!
ALL OF US with Father! <3
AND THEN CHRISTMAS!!!
We roamed the streets as WALLY. Being our usual self and in, I quote Beni: THE GENERAL CHAOS WE ARE ALWAYS IN. Also, of course, THE NON-STOP CAMWHORING.
They were of us sneakily messing with people on the streets who were in accidental Waldo where, or photo-bombing others… and other LOL-worthy stuff. Or maybe you just think we’re freaks of nature and wna have photographic evidence for a good bitching session. Whichever, you’re free to:
http://facebook.com/weiqingtan
SHAMELESS PLUGGING SHAMELESS PLUGGING!There were about 400 photos up on Facebook. So if you’re… I don’t know, really bored or genuinely interested or just a stalker with a Where’s Waldo fetish or bitch (read: above), you can find (HAH OR YOU CAN’T FIND SEE WHAT I DID THERE?) them on my Facebook provided you’re my friend la huh. And FYI I don’t add creepers.
A VERY WALLY CHRISTMAS INDEED. Oh, God. That was bad. I know.
But c’mon la. You mean to say you won’t find us very QT?
The angmohs/tourists were really hyped up, and actually came up to us to comment/ask for photos AND ONE EVEN PHOTO-BOMBED haha! The Singaporeans were just like WTH? OH AND A DUCK TOUR BUS PASSED US AND VERY ENTHUSIASTICALLY WAVED AND GREETED US!
Okay fine, it was us who harassed them first. BUT THEY WERE ALL ~EXCITES! HAI! MERRY CHRISTMAS YO! Wtf. I don’t understand what I’m saying. It’s kinda late.
And a perfect end to 2010, Christmas:
<3 People I love. At Cathleen’s with her family. TQ SO MUCH CAT & FAMILY! <3
Spent the New Year’s Eve and New Year with my family. :-) I think 2011 will be just legen- wait for it…
Also, in retrospect, 2010 wasn’t that bad. Friends, food, fun. OKAY I DID SHITTILY IN SCHOOL but I’ll always have people who’re there for me. Thank you, all you wonderful people and wonderful things that happened.
So, 2011.
My resolutions will be kept private for the most part, but one of them include TO BE NICE TO PEOPLE AND BABIES. I’m always nice to babies but not really to non-baby entities so yes. I’ll work on that part.
LOVE YOU ALL AND HAVE A BLESSED 2011!
PS: I need to start studying for the MATH LECTURE TEST (HOMG PANIC!!! AT THE DISCO!!!) and WRITE FOR CAP MENTORSHIP (i h8 the stress and deadline i really do.)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Infinity plus one.
Somewhere along the way I lost track of time.
The week that just passed, was that the first or second after term started? Whichever and anyhus-ly, it’s been a pretty uneventful week. By uneventful I mean no random animal died dramatically in the Central Plaza, nor did I set myself on fire for that (very expected) U for Math.
The urge to set things on fire, however, did settle in pretty intensely on Friday during photo-taking. For some reason the photog team made it their life mission to make us look exactly what we’re Not for the class photo. I get that there are some basic technical stuff we’ve got to straighten up on, but the rigidity was bordering on anal, IMO.
All the girls HAD to pin up their fringes, doesn’t matter if it’s neat when down. The rule is to pin up. No low socks Debbie and I had to borrow the guys’ socks and it was damn ridiculous I had socks bulging out of shoes I could hardly stuff my feet in it looked terrible. The team took about a million and one shots, making Jerry take off his glasses and fussing about when people aren’t smiling or opening their eyes wide enough. I mean.. WTFBBQ?
At one point our class kinda just gave up. It’s so absurd it becomes half-amusing. I doubt I’m even gonna buy the yearbook. ‘Cause I can see myself, 10 years down the road, going: HUH? That isn’t even how I remember everyone to be. There’s no point. Really don’t get why the size of eyes is an issue when taking class photos – does it even matter? Like Debbie complained at length after – this school has truly lived up to their communist reputation.
I agree.
I don’t remember much of the first part of the week – mass-purchasing at Borders, Chawanmushi, a dangerous game of Captain’s Ball, ANOTHER WHIRLEY POTATO ORGASM EPISODE (ONLY get the one at Food Fairs, the others disappoint so much I almost cried from the betrayal.), a long talk with JR, tutoring kids at this daycare (I thought it was a stroke of genius to stop their swearing by teaching them to use Cheesepie instead, and now they won’t stop saying it I want to kill myself)… Then there was THURSDAY!
Island Creamery with Laupok and Debbie! For about an hour or so only in the hot son but ZEMAGATZ I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time. Annoyed Yaya-Papaya Debbie outta her pants with our continuous rendition of A Night to Remember. And the remix of Buddhist chants when we were all slightly delirious – I actually had vertigo from laughing.
Then Sogurt + Burger Shack with Geoff, Xinyi, Ran, Richard, Rei-En and Ben!
Ben’s bionic finger thing we were all so fascinated with.
I’m sorry kay, this is my first pseudo-middle photo and I’m very excited about it. Especially because it’s cast in a kickass bionic finger thing. It’s very magical.
Anyway, whatever.
So we just slutted around and ate around and later stood around aimlessly by the road in that very fail at decision-making way that somehow always happens. By the time we decided to go home – we’ve been standing there for about half an hour discussing Totoro, getting molested by/harassing Ronald MacDonald, and very potentially got rounded up by the police as delinquents.
I think they were gonna arrest me – because as a Hwachy I am politically volatile and am capable of beating up bus-drivers and similar violent acts. But there were the Raffies around so their correct-ness outweighed my potential threat to the society. Wrong – they don’t know Rei is a black belt and can get nasty when provoked and/or hungry.
AND THEN WE HAD A ROUND OF FROGGER.
Which IMO is the best game ever! It’s like extreme jay-walking which is always v fun, but without the actual risk of dying!
FRIDAY had a series of vvvvvvv fail jumpshots with the class and borrowed a haul of books from the library – I’m telling you JX library is DABOMBXZ OK. They have a great supply of books, because somehow no one seems to borrow from there. So I had a mind-numbing Friday night Saturday morning of Murakamis, and then DINNER WITH BECKY! <3
Ish superbly nice to catch up with Becky after so long. (-:
I like it when life is nice and easy with friends and food.
Q
