2 hours ago: Fiddling around with Facebook now. What a complicated thing.
Now: Still confused. Haha, I think it’s funny to converse on facebook when the person is on msn.
SIMUN
SIMUN was surprisingly fun, I thought I was going to have a real shitty 3 days (though it was on the verge of being kind of boring). I will update with more pictures, mostly likely the day I actually get facebook (which probably won’t be very soon, still in the midst of verifying email address)
Speaking of facebook, am I the only soul in the universe who still doesn’t have it? This was a common conversation during SIMUN:
Person: Hey add me on facebook, okay?
Me: Uh… I.. don’t have facebook
Person: What?! Really?!
Meh.
Anyway my dad keeps stealing my camera on one of his gazillion vacation trips to China, so these are all the photos I took during the last day (forgot to take more during the first two, and taking photos is quite troublesome to me)
Forgot which country was speaking.
The French School, where lunch always ROCKED by the way. I wish lunch was like that every day! They had yummy fish, beef, Indian food, yummy ECLAIRS from Delifrance, all for free!! Okay food shouldn’t be the focus…
China: We will trade 5 pieces of fresh Cyprus paper for 1 tonne of your low quality fish, how about that huh? O btw, I want paper!
Cyprus: DREAM ON!
This note really made me laugh like crazy.
Our China note paper ran out by the 2nd day, so on the 3rd day, we kept trying to get Cyprus to give us more note paper. So when Cyprus refused, Zhuo En and Kingston drew our own note paper…
I forgot to take a picture of the note above after Zhuo En wrote addressing the USA. The last line was, “P.S: President Hu winks at President Obama.” That made me laugh like crazy too.
And here’s our China placard… Vandalized when bored…
I guess we should have been listening to the resolutions and stuff, but by the 3rd day, it’s just, who cares?
It was fun to hang out with friends and make new ones from other schools and squeal over ridiculously handsome international school students with my friends, but besides that, frankly, I thought the conference was actually.. Pretty useless. I mean, it’s helpful in a sense that us kids get to learn more about global issues so we don’t end up as apolitical bums, but all the fiery discussions and debates really don’t come to any substantial result. The members of the UN are adults who do this for a living, we’re only kids! I thought it was a little pretentious of us to think we could really solve these problems because I’m sure there’s always something or some aspect of the issue that we don’t know about. But I guess it was an enriching experience, which makes me think of something about a delegate of Russia.
The delegate came over to China’s table and asked why we didn’t want to vote for the resolution on piracy. He was listening intently to Zhuo En’s reply, but then suddenly half-way through, he had this strange jolt in his eyes, like a dog suddenly distracted by something else. So all of a sudden he started backing off, and ran back to his seat. We were like, “Uhh.. huh?”
Yep, met some strange people indeed.

[edit] Right now I’m reading up on some stuff for SIMUN, and one of the countries that my school is representing is China. So right now every time I read something about China, my reaction is, “WHY CHINA, WHY’RE YOU DOING THIS?!”
I don’t know why China keeps siding with the rogue countries, I know they have political reasons and whatever, but it’s like they’re deliberately trying to piss off the world. I just read that China was a staunch supporter of Slobodan Milosevic during the Kosovo conflict. I want to slap China’s face can?!?! Good grief!

From the study room, I’m picking up little snippets of a dubious show my dad’s watching:
Guy Voice 1: Whisky?
Woman Voice 1: Whisky?
Woman Voice 2: Whisky?
Guy Voice 2: Whiskey *ominous tone*
*Sad, dramatic music swells*
Me: ???
Been feeling damn shit these few days. Had to miss the lit exam today because the nausea got worse… Led me to think about how morning sickness would feel like if I get pregnant in the future. Can’t imagine any woman wanting to go through that for 9 months… Grr. Just feeling really bitchy towards everything.
It’s been a real shitty week and another two equally shitty ones coming right up…
Perfect place to study -> Starbucks next to Carrefour in Suntec.
Speaking of Carrefour, throughout my entire life I’ve been pronouncing it as Car-Four, only found out last year that it’s Car-foo. Good grief.
Lots of food nearby like Donut Factory and stuff in Carrefour. Though it’s a bit cramped, hot, has a buay-song lady who keeps giving our group the evil eye and a surprisingly high number of expatriates flowing in all day to buy coffee. But it has a power plug.
Back to fruitless studying.
Looking at my To Do list, which needs every item (there are about 20) to be struck off before Wednesday, I was on the verge of tears. But I guess crying makes you feel better because after the whole bawling session, you realize how stupid it was to cry over such a trivial matter, so you feel better about it. Sometimes. Anyway, ridiculous amount of crap to study before the exams, and homework is still flowing in. I think it’s really dumb to cry over homework and I hate people who do that, but sometimes school really makes me feel like slashing my wrists. I’m anticipating many more of such bawling sessions in the future though, it’s only March after all. My tear ducts will probably have exercised a lot by the time the A levels are here. The demands are getting higher and more ridiculous by the day, it’s becoming quite tempting to do something to the school before I leave, like maybe throw egg bombs at it or something…
Die school die.
