phew! finally found a blogskin that doesn't give me any alignment problems.
and it's purple!! :)
ok, maybe not very purple, but it's pretty near purple! :D

one more day and i'm flying off.
but surprisingly (or maybe not), i don't seem to feel much excitement.
consulted the tarot cards last night and if what the cards said is true and if i intepreted the meaning correctly, i guess this trip may not be as fulfilling as i wanted it to be but at least it wouldn't be a dull trip.
yeah, a trip with maybe just a few minor mishaps.
shivers.

bloated. -_-"

now that a's finally over, i thought i got all the time in the world to do whateva i wanted. but now i realised that this is totally not true. (i think i sound like jess. Xp) i've got loads of shopping to do for the trip to australia and it's absolutely tedious. take today for example: had buffet at orchard with pa and ma(which explains my bloatedness now), then shopped in all shops all the way from robinsons to ck tangs and back to takashimaya. and we head for men's belts and women's purse in every shop. in the end i almost puked from the constant strong smell of leather as well as other naustic smells such as perfume(coz women's purse section is mostly located on the same floor as cosmetics) and oil(from stalls selling food along orchard).

last paper was the day before yesterday. but sadly i didn't feel any sense of euphoria like i did after o' levels. i still rmb me and yy walking out of cedar and we were like:“天好蓝，云好白哦!” but now all i feel is just nothingness. it's like: "ok, so a's over. ok, that's it." and that's all.

anyway went for "class outing" after the last paper. we took 36 to marina square and i totally hate the bus trip. it was very packed. i managed to get a seat by the aisle, BUT a totally senseless woman decided to lean against the back of my seat instead of just gripping on to the poles and standing properly. so, i was like staring at her butt (which is just inches away from my head) if i turned my head. and i'll just crash into her butt had the bus swerved and she was still able to keep her butt stuck to the back of my seat. but luckily this did not happen. but still, how would you feel if someone just stick his/her butt next to your face?!

this is why i just totally absolutely utterly HATE crowded bus and mrt coz ppl (not all but most of them) just do not know that such thing called PRIVATE SPACE exist even in crowded places. urgh!! very annoyed!! >:(

okay, back to the "class outint" which was an utter failure coz everyone just split into many groups and did different things. haiz. but went to peehua's hse with yr, sx, ms and jess after the failed class outing. :)

only physics mcq left...muahahahahahahaha... :D

thealmost half of the a's is over...gp is over together with math... :)

but econs is next week... ... ... :(



在昨天的报纸上读到这个故事，挺喜欢的：



潘朵拉盒子

● 二炮


在一个穷山沟一棵槐树下，一名老人在跟一群孩子讲故事，她娓娓道来：

孩子们，我要讲的故事，跟一个盒子有关，这个盒子就像西方童话世界里的潘朵拉魔盒，传说它一旦被打开，灾难和罪恶便从盒里释放出来，一发不可收拾。

话说云南某山沟里住着三对彝族老夫妻，他们各有一个女儿：格玛、阿齐塔和喀嘉娜，三人感情深厚，情同姐妹。清澈的丽江孕育了这三个灵气逼人的姑娘，也赋予她们阿诗玛般的容貌。

每天，红红的太阳从东方升起，三个姑娘便开始一天的劳作。她们挤羊奶，磨稻谷，边干活边唱歌，日子就像苍山白云出岫，悠游而惬意。

姑娘们最爱大理山茶花，万花谷是她们常去的地方。每天午后，花谷里多出三朵山茶，紫色的阿齐塔，鹅黄的格玛，还有粉红的喀嘉娜穿梭在花海中，歌声和笑语回荡在秀丽的山水之间。花季的年龄，爱美的天性，三人用花叶相互打扮，争艳斗丽，羡煞了芍药，羞退了海棠。



这天，她们又在花丛中追逐嬉戏。喀嘉娜先拉开了嗓门：“大理三月好风光……”歌声响彻山谷，格玛接着唱：“蝴蝶泉边好梳妆……”轮到阿齐塔接唱时，她却愣在那儿，两眼直望着江边。



“阿齐塔，阿齐塔，你怎么啦？”格玛连叫两声。

“你们看，江边有一辆牛车。”阿齐塔应道。

“这山沟里很少有外人出现，是谁来了？”格玛说。

“赶车的好像是我们家的九叔，走，咱们看看去。”阿齐塔说。

三人奔去看个究竟，快到江边时，阿齐塔认出赶车人，她大声叫道：“九叔！九叔！”阿齐塔一股劲地跑到九叔面前。

“九叔，您出外好多年了，今天怎么回来啦？”阿齐塔问道。

“九叔来看你们，不欢迎九叔？”九叔脸带笑容说。

“您是我的九叔，我怎么会不欢迎。”阿齐塔说。

这时，机灵的阿齐塔发现牛车上有一大盒子，她好奇的问：“这是什么东西啊？”

“嘿嘿，这是个好东西，九叔特地从外地搬来送你的。”九叔说。

“四四方方的，有什么特别？”

“它可神奇啦，这么说吧，它就像一个魔术盒。”九叔说。

“什么是魔术盒？”阿齐塔问。

美丽的阿齐塔啊，你太单纯啦，如今外面发生了天翻地覆的变化，你不知道啊。”九叔说。

阿齐塔慢慢地伸出手，轻轻触碰那大盒子。

“来，咱们回家，跟你爹娘一起看它有多神奇。九叔带来发电机和魔术盒，这寂静的山沟会热闹起来的。”九叔环顾一下四周说。

天真的阿齐塔坐上牛车，跟格玛和喀嘉娜挥挥手，回家去了。临走时，还不忘跟她们约好明天下午在万花谷见。

格玛和喀嘉娜望着牛车远去。晴朗的万花谷上空，骤然飘来一朵大乌云。

接连三天，阿齐塔没出现在万花谷了。

“喀嘉娜，你说阿齐塔今天会不会来？”格玛问。

“咱们等她吧，她家来了亲戚，也许一时走不开。”喀嘉娜说。

两人傻愣愣地等着阿齐塔，直到金乌西坠。

“太阳快下山了，阿齐塔应该不会来啦，咱们走吧。”格玛说。

话音刚落，就听到阿齐塔的声音，她哼起极不悦耳的调子走向格玛和喀嘉娜。

眼前的阿齐塔，让格玛和喀嘉娜认不出来。不但歌声变了，连头发也变了。乌黑的辫子和整齐的刘海都不见了，蓬松凌乱的头发掩盖了她往日的灵气，判若两人。格玛和喀嘉娜用奇怪的眼光打量着她。

你们不认得我啦？”阿齐塔说。

“你的头发怎么会变成这样？谁弄的？”格玛问。

“你刚才唱什么歌？哪儿学的？”喀嘉娜也问。

“这些都是大盒子教的。”阿齐塔说。

“大盒子？”格玛和喀嘉娜瞪大了双眼说。

“大盒子好神奇，它让我看到外面的世界。原来外面是这个样子的，那里的女人戴耳环、戴项链，手指满是亮晶晶的宝石，太好看了。很多年轻人，男男女女上节目吃喝玩乐，又拿奖品，个个玩得很疯，都很开心！还有男人教我们女人怎么梳妆打扮，里面的女人都很漂亮，我好喜欢。”阿齐塔的语气连珠炮似的，把所知道的一口气都说出来。

“难怪你这么多天没来找我们，原来有了大盒子，好朋友也不要了。”格玛生气的说。

“大盒子是一个人吗？节目是什么东西？”喀嘉娜问。

“大盒子是一面镜子，通过镜子可以看到许多人和景物，还有很多山沟里没有的东西。”阿齐塔形容说。

“对了，对了，九叔说大盒子叫这个电……电……视机。”阿齐塔激动地说。

说了老半天，格玛和喀嘉娜还是没弄明白。

“没关系，明天你们到我这儿来看看大盒子，就知道了。”阿齐塔说。

自从那天起，万花谷没有了她们的踪影。

过了一年，也没有人看到格玛、阿齐塔和喀嘉娜在山沟里出现。有人说她们去外面的世界“学唱歌”，也有人说九叔带她们去认识什么大明星、大导演。至于那个大盒子，被山沟里的人砸碎了。

又过了很多年后，有人看见一名老妇人走进了万花谷，她摘了几朵紫色的山茶花后又走出来，消失在苍山脚下......

故事说完了，讲故事的老人泪流满面，泣不成声。

“阿齐塔。”一名充满灵气的小女孩，不经意的叫出老人的名字。

读着这故事让我想起了一首歌...是JS兄妹在几年前的创作...好像是叫“苏菲亚的愿望”...其实只听过这首歌一次...但非常喜欢它的歌词...可惜找不到歌词了...Xp
