all american rejects- top of the world
Is there anybody out there?
That wakes up with a bitter taste?
It's a king that we put up there
And he's a short way to fall from grace
It's slowly filling upward.
You can stand but you have no ground.
I hear it from the lost words.
They say it's time that you lost your crown.
Don't be so greedy.
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don't wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you
Is there anybody out there?
That can see what a man can change?
It's better that you don't care
Because he knows that he's in his stateI feel the paranoia.
When there's a time, put you in your place
In the eyes of those who watch ya
Well they can wait 'til you hit your face
Don't be so greedy.
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finally a day, don't wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Paint yourself a picture
When you waste another picture
And you win, and you win, and you win
Paint yourself a picture
And then you break another picture
And you win, and you win, and you win
And you win, yeah you win, and you win
Don't be so greedy
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts stop beating
Say what you want 'em to do
Wasting away... I see you
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don't wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you
Wasting away... I see you
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don't wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you

more jokes
haha. i need more jokes to stir my mind away from farewell next week! the results and stuff. i'm really wrecked out.
A woman in her 40's went to a plastic surgeon for a face-lift. The surgeon told her about a new procedure called "The Knob" where a small knob is placed on the back of a woman's head and can be turned to tighten up her skin to produce the effect of a brand new face lift.Of course, the woman wanted "The Knob". Over the course of the years, the woman tightened the knob and the effects were wonderful. The woman remained young looking and vibrant.After fifteen years, the woman returned to the surgeon with two problems.
"All of these years, everything has been working just fine. I've had to turn the knob many times and I've always loved the results. But now I've developed two annoying problems: First, I have these terrible bags under my eyes and the knob won't get rid of them.
"The doctor looked at her closely and said, "Those aren't bags, those are your breasts."She sighed and said, "Well, I guess there's no point in asking about the goatee..."
Shaggy,Shania Twain, and Britney Spears go in a limo to a restaurant.
Someone farts and Shaggy says,"Wasn''t me!".
Shania Twain says," That don''t impress me much."
Britney Spears says,"Oops, I did it again."
The next day they go in a limo to a bar and someone farts.
Shaggy says," Wasn''t me!".
Shania Twain says," That don''t impress me much."
Britney Spears says," Stronger than yesterday."
There were two nuns...
One of them was known as Sister Mathematical (SM), and the other one was known as Sister Logical (SL).
It is getting dark and they are still far away from the convent.
SM: Have you noticed that a man has been following us for the past thirty-eight and a half minutes? I wonder what he wants.
SL: It's logical. He wants to rape us.
SM: Oh, no! At this rate he will reach us in 15 minutes at the most? What can we do?
SL: The only logical thing to do of course is to walk faster.
SM: It's not working.
SL: Of course it's not working. The man did the only logical thing. He started to walk faster, too.
SM: So, what shall we do? At this rate he will reach us in one minute.
SL: The only logical thing we can do is split. You go that way and I'll go this way. He cannot follow us both.So the man decided to follow Sister Logical.
Sister Mathematical arrives at the convent and is worried about what has happened to Sister Logical.Then Sister Logical arrives.
SM: Sister Logical! Thank God you are here! Tell me what happened!
SL: The only logical thing happened. The man couldn't follow us both, so he followed me.
SM: Yes, yes! But what happened then?
SL: The only logical thing happened. I started to run as fast as I could and he started to run as fast as he could.
SM: And?
SL: The only logical thing happened. He reached me.
SM: Oh, dear! What did you do?
SL: The only logical thing to do. I lifted my dress up.
SM: Oh, Sister! What did the man do?
SL: The only logical thing to do. He pulled down his pants.
SM: Oh, no! What happened then?
SL: Isn't it logical, Sister?A nun with her dress up can run faster than man with his pants down.
And for those of you who thought it would be dirty, say two Hail Marys!

series of events
my blog has become QUITE dead. anyway, i have been really busy for the past few weeks, even though i was one of the people who finished all my holiday homework by the third week.
redcrossSYF'06
i love SYF! haha. you people made my day! anyway, at the first few trainings of syf, i didn't really like the instructors and i quite disliked the sec2s in redcross as they couldn't march and boy, were they VERY childish. mans. they are still little kids. screaming and running. but i learnt to cope with that, as i was once like that too, i think. then, on one of the internal trainings, a vi came to platoon d and started to coach us. i was the timer and it was tiring. we came to know him as desmond-sir. man was he dangerous, strict, disiplined and he made my blood boil. then, on the 2nd combined training at HTA, desmond sir just came across me while we were rehearsing for the parade and he made me the i/c of that day. i was very worried that i didn't make his expectations. i pushed myself to show professionalism. with the leadership qualities i had, i led the contingent. i was so afraid that i'd screw up. desmond-sir was like "fiona, do ______" and "fiona, take ______" and "fiona, make sure that _____" and "fiona, are you sure ____" and stuff like that. thus, it came to be that the whole of redcross syf people knew my name. they'll tease me on desmond-sir and whatever.
as the trainings passed, desmond sir came to like pick on me more. it was like "fiona, answer this and answer that". anyway, i also made new friends. friends from other school. i feel that the times that we most bonded was the time at the combined rehearsal at the national stadium. i then had friends from cedar, st margarets, scgs, compassvale, raffles girls, jurong west, victoria, raffles insitution, nan chiau and more. the usual vis which took us were qingxiang sir, david sir, janessa ma'am, desmond sir, max sir and maybe a few more others. on one particular combined training at hta, me and fahliza were appointed the role of timers for the whole marching contingent. btw, the bus ride from hq to hta was a very long journey so we had time to rest on the bus back and forth. i remember that there was one time when i was resting on the bus and then was awoken by this raffles girl called si ling. raffles girls are SMART. si ling can become a champion debator. she was just too hard to argue with. she's a brillant girl and she's sec2. and because of that, we became friends. i think i have to mention this again, it's because of desmond sir that everyone in the marching contingent know my name. FIONA.
then, on one of the internal trainings, desmond-sir created a name for the left marker. man was he tall but not as tall as desmond-sir. desmond-sir couldn't pronounce chinese, malay or indian names, so he gave the right marker, who was a chinese, an english name, BOBBY. and from that day onwards, everybody knew him as BOBBY. so, so far, everybody knows FIONA and BOBBY. then a one training later, people began to know FIONA BOBBY VALERIE PEIXUAN and FAHLIZA. haha.
on like the 1st combined rehearsal at the national stadium, i was in qingxiang sir's bus, and so, we were the first bus to reach back at hq. we were early. qingxiang sir and us had FUN. haha. all the cheers and stuff. cedar and scgs taught us cheers. we probably went high that night. after that, the 2nd bus people came in and we, 1st bus, showed them and also to the 3rd bus people. we went high. when we were showing off to the 3rd bus, there was this particular victoria guy who didn't look impressed. he was like rolling his eyes again and again. but whatever.
on the next combined rehearsal at national stadium, we went high. yes. all of us. while waiting for our turn to enter the stadium to march, the choir sang many songs and we, red cross, just went high, singing along, laughing and just moving to the beat THOUGH WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO MOVE THE LOWER PART OF OUR BODIES. but who cares? the vis just allowed us to carry on as they wanted us to bond.
on the performance day, we were all high and excited. there were many vis at hq. man. i thought that they could even form a marching contingent on their own if they wanted too. joanne ma'am, qihui ma'am and yuming ma'am were there and so was nicholas sir. man so many from fairfield!
on the bus trip to national stadium, i sat with stephanie from st margrets and behind us sat, shafwatty and a raffles guy called wen yu. he was fat and cute. oops. and his name was wen yu. the three girls tried to open him up. we taught him some cheer actions. haha. he managed to learn them FAST. but not as fast as me. then it was lunch at the national stadium and a few rehearsals. there was this break before the real performance, we, red cross, said our cheers and all the other unifrom groups, looked at us. we were OUTSTANDING and our day was FUN AND EXCITING. haha. i really meant it. a few of us, then taught qingxiang sir how to do the dance-hand action. we also taught desmond sir that dance-hand action. man. desmond sir said that you can't teach an old dog new tricks but i DISAGREE. all one needs is patience.
then, it was time to go in. ooh. tons of the sec2s were nervous. i wasn't really nervous. i didn't think that anyone could have spotted me. i gave my three tickets to shuyi, sihui and yiling. MAN. they spotted me. i'm sure i look good (: anyway, during the parade, there was this girl guide who couldn't take the pain so she squatted down waiting for first aid, but none came, so she stood up. she did this over and over again. luckily she didn't faint. time passed and soon we were back to our holding area. everybody just screamed!! haha. it was over. we rocked! it was then time for us to leave. on the bus, everybody was just chatting away excitedly. then nicholas sir who was sitting with qingxiang sir called my name and i just said "wassup?" and those who heard were like shocked. i quickly apologized. nicholas sir told me to led the people in the bus a cheer. i did it and then sat down. was quite pissed at the two girls who didn't do the cheer. man. one was a sergeant and the other a coporal. how did they even get the ______ promoted when they showed me their heck care attitude and no sense of participation. and i'm sorry xuanle and the guy beside to stop folding the poncho when i ordered you to when i somehow didn't have much authority. sorry.
back at the hq, a small debrief and AGAIN, desmond sir volunteered me to say something. then it was bobby, then valerie. then, for reflections, alfredo and fahliza had to go up on stage to say some words. and then it was the victoria guys performance. man, it was HILARIOUS and gay! haha. i guessed everyone just enjoyed themselves. then it was the vi's performance. aiyo. desmond sir was gay. hmm. everyone suspected david sir and janessa ma'am to have something on but it was like desmond sir was protecting janessa ma'am. hmm. i wonder.
then it was some free and easy time. everybody went round getting numbers, email address and of course taking of photos. then stephanie stella and samantha went with me to like take photos and get contact number from desmond sir. i also went around distributing sweets to people. the three girls went to ask desmond sir "why do you always call fiona?", " why do you always say fiona's name as audrey?","do you like fiona?" and stuff like that. desmond sir said that though i'm fiona, i look like an audrey. err. and he also said that he picked me as he saw something in me that was different from others, like i was shining in the inside and he thought that i was special and he believed that i would be able to accomplished great things and told me never to give up. when he was saying this, he was like patting my head. then he told us that, " oh, fiona is like my little sister." i was like ERRR. anyway, peixuan and i took photos together and i took a photo of the THREE CUTEST SEC2 GIRLS in the marching contingent. they were peixuan, valerie and fahliza.

then, on one of the internal trainings, desmond-sir created a name for the left marker. man was he tall but not as tall as desmond-sir. desmond-sir couldn't pronounce chinese, malay or indian names, so he gave the right marker, who was a chinese, an english name, BOBBY. and from that day onwards, everybody knew him as BOBBY. so, so far, everybody knows FIONA and BOBBY. then a one training later, people began to know FIONA BOBBY VALERIE PEIXUAN and FAHLIZA. haha.
on like the 1st combined rehearsal at the national stadium, i was in qingxiang sir's bus, and so, we were the first bus to reach back at hq. we were early. qingxiang sir and us had FUN. haha. all the cheers and stuff. cedar and scgs taught us cheers. we probably went high that night. after that, the 2nd bus people came in and we, 1st bus, showed them and also to the 3rd bus people. we went high. when we were showing off to the 3rd bus, there was this particular victoria guy who didn't look impressed. he was like rolling his eyes again and again. but whatever.
on the next combined rehearsal at national stadium, we went high. yes. all of us. while waiting for our turn to enter the stadium to march, the choir sang many songs and we, red cross, just went high, singing along, laughing and just moving to the beat THOUGH WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO MOVE THE LOWER PART OF OUR BODIES. but who cares? the vis just allowed us to carry on as they wanted us to bond.
on the performance day, we were all high and excited. there were many vis at hq. man. i thought that they could even form a marching contingent on their own if they wanted too. joanne ma'am, qihui ma'am and yuming ma'am were there and so was nicholas sir. man so many from fairfield!
on the bus trip to national stadium, i sat with stephanie from st margrets and behind us sat, shafwatty and a raffles guy called wen yu. he was fat and cute. oops. and his name was wen yu. the three girls tried to open him up. we taught him some cheer actions. haha. he managed to learn them FAST. but not as fast as me. then it was lunch at the national stadium and a few rehearsals. there was this break before the real performance, we, red cross, said our cheers and all the other unifrom groups, looked at us. we were OUTSTANDING and our day was FUN AND EXCITING. haha. i really meant it. a few of us, then taught qingxiang sir how to do the dance-hand action. we also taught desmond sir that dance-hand action. man. desmond sir said that you can't teach an old dog new tricks but i DISAGREE. all one needs is patience.
then, it was time to go in. ooh. tons of the sec2s were nervous. i wasn't really nervous. i didn't think that anyone could have spotted me. i gave my three tickets to shuyi, sihui and yiling. MAN. they spotted me. i'm sure i look good (: anyway, during the parade, there was this girl guide who couldn't take the pain so she squatted down waiting for first aid, but none came, so she stood up. she did this over and over again. luckily she didn't faint. time passed and soon we were back to our holding area. everybody just screamed!! haha. it was over. we rocked! it was then time for us to leave. on the bus, everybody was just chatting away excitedly. then nicholas sir who was sitting with qingxiang sir called my name and i just said "wassup?" and those who heard were like shocked. i quickly apologized. nicholas sir told me to led the people in the bus a cheer. i did it and then sat down. was quite pissed at the two girls who didn't do the cheer. man. one was a sergeant and the other a coporal. how did they even get the ______ promoted when they showed me their heck care attitude and no sense of participation. and i'm sorry xuanle and the guy beside to stop folding the poncho when i ordered you to when i somehow didn't have much authority. sorry.
back at the hq, a small debrief and AGAIN, desmond sir volunteered me to say something. then it was bobby, then valerie. then, for reflections, alfredo and fahliza had to go up on stage to say some words. and then it was the victoria guys performance. man, it was HILARIOUS and gay! haha. i guessed everyone just enjoyed themselves. then it was the vi's performance. aiyo. desmond sir was gay. hmm. everyone suspected david sir and janessa ma'am to have something on but it was like desmond sir was protecting janessa ma'am. hmm. i wonder.
then it was some free and easy time. everybody went round getting numbers, email address and of course taking of photos. then stephanie stella and samantha went with me to like take photos and get contact number from desmond sir. i also went around distributing sweets to people. the three girls went to ask desmond sir "why do you always call fiona?", " why do you always say fiona's name as audrey?","do you like fiona?" and stuff like that. desmond sir said that though i'm fiona, i look like an audrey. err. and he also said that he picked me as he saw something in me that was different from others, like i was shining in the inside and he thought that i was special and he believed that i would be able to accomplished great things and told me never to give up. when he was saying this, he was like patting my head. then he told us that, " oh, fiona is like my little sister." i was like ERRR. anyway, peixuan and i took photos together and i took a photo of the THREE CUTEST SEC2 GIRLS in the marching contingent. they were peixuan, valerie and fahliza.
