Score: 0.655

In this battery, a score below 1.0 is ranked as synesthetic. Non-synethetes asked to use memory or free association typically score in the range of a 2.0. A perfect score of 0.0 would mean that there was no difference in the colors selected on each successive presentation of the same letter. For more information on the Synesthesia Battery and the details of how it is scored, please refer to David M. Eagleman, Arielle D. Kagan, Deepak Sagaram, Anand K. Sarma.

eeks I can't get the colours of the rest out and this one is screwed too. argh curse youu html.

and the flute is a floaty green blue! I picked pink for one cos I was thinking about what sam and becky said haha. and strings tend to be a kind of plum. I don't know why clars are that colour. and I have no idea why tuba is green. \:

I realised that we should try to see that

life is like a vacuum cleaner never turned on at full power.

it could always suck more.

so we should treasure what we do have and can enjoy.

like band. :D

and God. :D

and every single awesome friend. :D

and the very fact that we are alive. :D

even after all those SAs and PTs and horrifying/embarrassing/close call incidents thrown at us.

and we should think of the people who have it so much worse off than us.

so much worse than SAs and PTs and horrifying/embarrassing/close call incidents.

haha what a post-ful of morality. but really.

nope I haven't been whacked on the head with a sock full of morality. just felt random.

TWILIGHT!

yesyes don't rub it in that I'm like 40 million years behind everyone.

anyway yesterday was so amusing hahaha I was totally dead to the world from like 9 to 7. and I subconsciously walked to fareast somehow, and I happily managed to crash smack into a lamppost (eh it was below eye level la pft). yeah anw this kinda sucks cos I have to go find out what was done during physics english careered and history. ok I'm narrowing that down to history. -.- and maybe physics in case it was one of those rare times she said smth important.

anywayy, EDWARD CULLEN! :D fangirls. haha and I'm still pissed at the casting rawr. (the cedric diggory guy? wtf?) I may decide to boycott the movie. as in ok maybe I'm weird, but I think that no matter what human they get for the roles, they could never do justice to the perfectness of vampires. haha nevermind.

anw it's actually a very brainless read la haha (jessica stop being so analytical). it's just totally for edward cullen fullstop. haha omg I love the "I dazzle people?" quote! yeah you do.

oh but haha it's one of those comparable to a journey in rgssb things. like so awesome you just don't want it to end, but it has to, and you wish you'd be stuck in the middle forever. (chapter 10 and 13, I think, are like :DD)

and one of the quotes in the preface is quite cool and applicable too. "When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve it when it comes to an end." ponderponder.

anyway, planning my next dead-to-the-world day. tmr's lessons are quite dumb, I think I shall read new moon tmr then, if I can find roxanne's. haha sam was like it sucks cos edward is missing in like 3/4 of the book! then I was like D: beginning 3/4 or end 3/4 and she was like um middle 3/4 so I was like (: ok then still got motivation to read beginning to end. haha and I realised joong and darrell also were like frantically flipping going where's edward where's edward! and then they flipped to the end and saw that he does reappear and that was their only motivation for reading on haha.

anw, argh, I kept wanting to blog stuffs then kept not having access (I'm not supposed to be here now too shh) then forgetting. *scrunch face* smth tells me I have photos to post but well can't be bothered to go find heh.

ohyes the super cute giammy quote! "I like that bird! it's so fat!" "haha I think it's poofing its feathers out." "HI POOFY BIRD!! :D" haha omg giamgiam is so cute. molly! and the jess one about pumps. "I've always wondered how those things stay on when you see more foot than shoe." lol. and there was a quote of ~~the~~ last week that I wanted to put but I forgot. D:

ah I just realised I have a lot of stuff to email the batch about. pft you band break. lucky I rescued goldilocks before it got locked and bolted for *gasp* two weeks!

yupp that's abourrit. I may drop random posts if I suddenly rmb smth. uh and if I have access to the comp.

OHYES. screw redox half equations. some kind soul please help me with them! (and I find logs fine muahaha, first and only sign that my maths is not totally hopelessly unsalvageable.)

OH JOY

pearlyn has four, repeat: FOUR, PTs due the coming week. chem is wonderfully stuck in the raw research stage and I seem nowhere near being able to come up with insightful questions. history has been at the idea stage like forever though I have... vanguard sheet yay. geog is ahahaha I haven't started. like at all. except decide on the place? sigh. yeah thanks so much joo. (: and chinese! standing ovation. it's like less than haven't started. all we've done is (barely) read the topic. and attempt to discuss. whee. OH JOY.

but anyway, rugby is fun. ((: and violent. :D have I mentioned that jamie is lead defence and beck is frontline attack? haha she tackles like everyone and both people always end up sliding to the ground. and I still think the lie down thing is a self-sacrificial act sorta thing HA. anw I can't wait to tackle someone! :D though becky's jaw-braces injuries last time sounded freaky. and it's quite inconvenient argh and I keep wanting to bathe but knowing how long I take to. heh. AND wtf why can't we wear sch-app tees to assembly? )): it's not like, disrespect to the country/school or whatever what. so inconvenient. so what now, we have mass stripping sessions in the middle of the field? OH JOY.

and bringing you (not-so-)live news updates! *dum dum dum* BUBBLETEA HAS INFLATED! ok that sounds plain weird. BUBBLETEA HAS QI3 JIA4-ED! now milk tea, red tea, green tea, ice blended are 1.60. milkshake and yoghurt are 2. O.o minipearls, jelly are 40c, AND THEY ARE CHARGING THAT FOR NORMAL PEARLS TOO WTF. D: oreo topping is 50c. oreo series are up to 2.10 and 2.40. dessert series are up also to 1.90++. so this basically means that a usual bubbletea would now cost 2 bucks. wth! I bet we can still find 1 buck ones la pfft pfft pfft. OH JOY.

anw, the main point is, boycott orchard sweetalk! in an effort to do so, jess sam and I shared a full-sized carton of peel fresh tropical mango X), simultaneously drinking healthier and getting regular ahems back haha to quote jess. I didn't just say that. ok here are some pics showing us ATTEMPTING to do so. ahya it was quite successful la haha.

I shall not post the unglam one. :p cos I look the unglammest in it.

the one where sam looks emo, I look dao, and jess just looks weird. haha.

the more normal one where we're looking AWAY from the camera.

our very genius idea to reach the drink cos the carton was deeper than the straws! haha sam poring over the dead thing lying there.

yay. so everyone, go buy peel fresh tropical mango (or any other more cost-effective drink, as long as you boycott sweetalk!) because it is less than half the price of bubbletea! one carton's 2.40, shared among 3 of us. go calculate.

anw, on the topic of inflation (no I am not about to shout fanny freddy and you to the world anymore), everything is seriously going up. rawr. petrol recently went down though right? argh but it sucks. everything's going up except salary. which reminds me I have major debts AND major anti-debts (i.e. people owe me) which I haven't tried calculating but I hope cancel out. ahh the world is dying. OH JOY.

and spending time at fareast doing stuff like that instead of productively (ahem) discussing chinese pt, and blogging instead of concentrating on refining chem pt research, and blatantly ignoring the roll of vanguard waiting patiently for my history pt, and absolute haven'tstarted-ness of geog and chinese, and the whole FOUR PTS DUE WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE DAYS thing is seriously stressing me out. argh. have I mentioned that I'm the only one in the whole school who has four pts due in the same week? yeah now I have. OH JOY.

OH JOY indeed.
[edit] whywhywhy argh. ohman apap. whyyy. um and *echoes*. argh weird. rawr nevermind, I'm not making sense at all. [/edit]
