Rachel --
[noun]:
A real life terminator
Birthday: 6 September
Music is my life.
I love my friends.

I like strawberry vodka!
Chocolate Ice Cream is the best.
I love myself.
There's this unspoken proxy outrage amongst the students in school.
Apprarently the school blocked all the proxies that students use to access sites that are already blocked by the school. Some sites include, MySpace, Facebook, YouTube etc.
The question is, why?
I honestly don't see the harm in allowing us to access these sites. I mean, I understand why they block all the porn sites and all, I'm sure we all do. But, why the others?
Some may argue that it's to allow the student to concentrate in school, to ensure that they do their work and all.
Wait, let me pause here to say that the students I'm talking about are the ones undergoing their Final Year Project.
We arrive at 8.30am everyday, leave at 6pm (except on Fridays, we leave at 5.30pm). We are given a project to do within 3 months. Well, not for me, cos I had 2 project changes cos some people are just so damned fickle-minded.
Anyways, that's not my point. My point is that, does the school expect us to work ALL the time? Some labs here don't even allow people to listen to music! Thank goodness mine does, I'd die without music.
----------------------------------------------- You got me forced to crack my lids in two I'm still stuck inside this rubber room I gotta punch the clock that leads the blind I'm just another gear in the assembly line Oh no
The noose gets tighter around my throat But I ain't at the end of my rope '
Cause I won't be the one left behind Can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind Tear down the rat racial slime You can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind
Get it?
A routine injection A lethal dose But my day in the sun ain't even close There's no need to waste your prayers on me You better mark my words 'Cause I'm history Yes indeed
You might beg for mercy to get by But I'd rather tear this thorn from my side
Cause I won't be the one left behind You can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind Tear down the rat racial slime You can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind
They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick They tore my intentions apart brick by brick I'm sick of the jive You talk verbal insecticide
They swallowed thier daggers by turning their trick They tore my intentions apart brick by brick I'm sick of the jive You talk verbal insecticide
Well I Won't be the one left behind
You can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind Tear down the rat racial slime You can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind
I said slave to the grind Slave to the grind Slave to the grind ----------------------------------------------- -- Slave To The Grind -- -- Skid Row -- -----------------------------------------------

Saturday, 20th October 2007 Deafcon 6 went well, everything was on time. Couldn't stand a certain someone though. Urgh... IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE!
Cynthia came for Deafcon 6! Heh... Haven't seen her in quite some time already. Glad that she was there. It was awesome having her beside me during Bad Obsession's set. Pity she couldn't stay for dinner though.
Hung out with Biatch and Carol Jie Jie after Deafcon 6. Had dinner at some chinese place while the rest went to Subways.
Evigan sent me home thereafter. I was a sick bunny, sneezing every now and then.
Sunday, 21st October 2007 Was actually planning to meet up with Evigan at 3pm at Orchard, before heading over to Sengkang to meet Cynthia to drop by to say hi to our dearest Shi Fu, before heading over to Pasir Ris Costa Sands for the School Invasion Barbeque/Gathering.
HOWEVER, I was still feeling drowsy from the pills I took before I went to bed. Lost the mood to go out, let alone to hang out with alot of people. Evigan came over at around 7pm and we cooked Pasta for our dinner. =)
Watched him play some shooting game on his laptop while chilling in the room. He left around 11pm.
School starts for Evigan today.

Went for Bad Obsession's jamming session yesterday. They played 'Riot In Everyone' by Crashdiet.
And for some reason, I knew how the song goes. The hook was definitely the chorus part, where the backing vocals go, "Whoa oh oh".
Just now as I was stoning infront of the computer, I recalled listening to it a year or so back before I lost all my songs. Just didn't know that Crashdiet did that song. Haha... I wasn't really into Rock N' Roll then.
--------------------------------------------
And there's a riot in everyone
They think they can hold us down forever But no one can beat us out of phase We live hard, creatin' all the terror The Government is shaded by our craze
Won't take shit from no one Breakin free, never stop Livin rabid in the everland
Whoa We're the kids of the underground Oh there's a riot in everyone We're the kids of the underground And we're loud as we tear'em down
Whoa Whoa we're the kids of the underground Oh it's a feelin' you cant deny Whoa oh oh It's a feelin you cant deny Whoa oh oh Cos theres a riot in everyone
They say you shall live as you are told to I say you gotta be strong and make up your own mind Be yourself, not a puppet in their freakshow Cos thats the way youll end up when they beat you blind
Won't take shit from anyone NO ONE Never played by the rules Coz we`re the kids of the underground
Whoa We're the kids of the underground Oh there's a riot in everyone We`re the kids of the underground And we're loud as we tear`em down
Whoa Whoa we're the kids of the underground Oh it's a feelin; you cant deny Whoa oh oh It's a feelin' you cant deny Whoa oh oh Cos theres a riot in everyone
Our time Our ways We're the wasted generation Our life (our life) We pay (we pay) With our nasty reputation We will always be living free Always on top of the mystery To live hard is a luxury And to die of our prophecy
Whoa We're the kids of the underground
We're the kids of the underground And we're loud as we tear 'em down
Whoa We're the kids of the underground Oh there's a riot in everyone
We're the kids of the underground Oh there's a riot in everyone
Whoa We're the kids of the underground Oh there's a riot in everyone
We're the kids of the underground Oh there's a riot in everyone
Whoa We're the kids of the underground And it's a feelin' you can't deny
I seem to have lost interest in everything and anything. Everything seems to be dying down for me, now that I have extremely little time to spare for my own activities.
I don't know why, I'm that kind of person who will definitely struggle with a routined office job of waking up in the morning everyday to going back at like, 6? Well, that is, if I'm doing something that I have totally no interest of.
Like, there really isn't much time to relax and hang out with you friends after work, when you KNOW that you have to go back the next day. Then, Fridays and Saturdays ALWAYS passes by in a blink of an eye.
I get very tired easily these days. Mainly due to my lack of sleep. I'm honestly not too happy about it.
I thrive on the company of my good friends, and family. When I'm left alone, I tend to think alot. And that's not really a good thing now is it?
Rachel was reminiscing at 2:07 pm
You can bring your guitars, etc and have a little jamming session there. You are also welcome to bring along your friends, fans, anyone you like to bring. The more the merrier.
We hope you can attend and please reply to me via email [rach.myworld@gmail.com] by Wednesday [tomorrow] with your interest so that we can make arrangements.
Just came back after my presentation. They said that teacher judging me was rather strict. And he was, well, he was asking me rather reasonable questions that I was able to tackle. Some questions he asked (Definations etc;) I could not answer but he said it was ok. (I hope...)
I was shaking real badly before my turn. My teeth were chattering, my hands and legs were shaking uncontrobally. I was taking deep breaths to try to calm myself down. Slash oh Slash, where art thou?
Ok, teeny moment over.
Anyways, as I was saying, I was taking deep breaths to calm myself down. But the fact that my buddy's presentation is being stopped over and over again by the teacher's questions kept me shaking while breathing. I was damned scared I tell you.
So I decided to forget about the breathing thing and tell myself something. [DON'T laugh! I was desperately trying to calm myself down]
"Slash will lend me his soul, Tommy Lee will lend me his beats, Sebastian Bach will lend me his stage prescence."
Anyways, the presentation went rather ok. I'm glad it's over.
Don't expect help from me if you act like a unreasonable loser in the first place.
And please understand that it's NORMAL for me to not want to help people who are pricks like you.
One minute be unreasonable, the other minute ask for help. Are you schizo or what?
I'm not one of those who believes in "being nice to the people who aren't so nice and hope that one day, they'll become nice". Well, not when it applies to people like you. Life is short, if you want to be a prick, go ahead. Just don't come running to me for help. What a WEAKLING you are.
People help take care of the dog (I'm not complaining about taking care of the dog, I just can't stand the fact that you don't know how to APPRECIATE and give THANKS where they are due.), while you study, and when you come back, you convert back to your loser-ish ways. Please la, your reason for not wanting to hang the clothes cos "My clothes are not in there", is pretty much childish and stupid.
You do shit for the house, expect to be woken up every morning to go to school. You complain if you get woken up late, but most of the time, YOU are the one who procrastinates in bed and end up being late. HELLO?! People use the ALARM CLOCK for a reason. But then again, a thousand and one alarm clocks are USELESS if you don't listen to them.
Then you come back and expect to get good food. You complain and complain about the food when it's not what you want. You take it so personally. And we're just talking about food.
NO ONE OWES YOU A LIVING. DON'T TREAT PEOPLE LIKE SHIT AND EXPECT TO BE TREATED LIKE A KING COS YOU'RE JUST A PILE OF SHIT.
Notice how you don't get the grades you desire? You study hard, yes, but you tend to get OVER CONFIDENT. And soon, you panic. Then you whine about wanting to not go for the paper cos of this and that. And when it's all over, and someone asks you to study, you tell them to shut up.
And the cycle repeats all over again.
Karma has a way of getting back at you. As they say, "What goes around comes around."
It means that whatever you do in this life to other people, whether it is good or bad, the same will return to you. Maybe not in the exact same way, but trust me, payback is a mess! - shortfrog
Was talking to some people about FYS2 when I realised, "Shit! FYS was just this year!"
Ok, in case you all didn't know, I organised a gig called Fasten Your Seatbelts! which happened on the 20th January this year. I'm organising the next series of Fasten Your Seatbelts! for next year now.
Interested bands may email fastenyourseatbelts@gmail.com with their Press Kit or Band Demo, or anything they have. I'm looking for two more bands, to warm the audience up.
10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes, in my "need to know" pose, just outside of Area 51 Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thingy when a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this. Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right at my Birkenstocks, and me yelping...
Holy f**king shit!
Then the X-Files being, Looking like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan with Isabella Rossellini lips, and breath that reeked of vanilla Chig Champa Did a slow-mo Matrix descent Outta the butt end of the banana vessel And hovered above my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw, and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip, and all I could think was,
"I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice that I pissed my f**kin' pants."
So light in his way, Like an apparition, [that] He had me crying out,
"Fuck me It's gotta be the Deadhead Chemistry The blotter got [right] on top of me Got me seein' E-motherf**kin'-T!"
And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal spooning, E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose. He said,
"You are the Chosen One, the One who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who choose to hear it and a warning for those who do not."
Me. The Chosen One? They chose me!!! And I didn't even graduate from f**kin' high school.
Then he looked right through me With somniferous almond eyes Don't even know what that means Must remember to write it down This is so real Like the time Dave floated away See, my heart is pounding 'Cause this shit never happens to me
I can't breathe right now!
It was so real, Like I woke up in Wonderland. All sorta terrifying I don't wanna be all alone While I tell this story. And can anyone tell me why Y'all sound like Peanuts parents? Will I ever be coming down? This is so real Finally, it's my lucky day See, my heart is racing 'Cause this shit never happens to me
I can't breathe right now!
You believe me, don't you? Please believe what I've just said! See the Dead ain't touring And this wasn't all in my head. See, they took me by the hand And invited me right in. Then they showed me something I don't even know where to begin.
Strapped down [to] my bed Feet cold [and] eyes red I'm out of my head Am I alive? Am I dead? Can't remember what they said God damn, shit the bed.
Hey...
Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position. Such a heavy burden now to be the One Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending, To write it down for all the world to see.
But I forgot my pen
Shit the bed again... Typical.
Strapped down [to] my bed Feet cold and eyes red I'm out of my head Am I alive? Am I dead? Sunkist and Sudafed Gyroscopes and infrared Won't help, I'm brain dead Can't remember what they said God damn, shit the bed
I can't remember what they said to me Can't remember what they said to make me out to be a hero Can't remember what they said Bob help me! Can't remember what they said
Met Biatch at Kovan MRT after school today. We took a train down to Sengkang and I had Meat balls! Hah...
Walked around, got forced into the library (oh bother...) but it turned out to be rather fun as I learnt something new about Photoshop. Meh... Then we headed down to this shop where I bought a bag of candy. Sat down at Burger King with our candy and water and started getting sugar rushes.
Dragged Biatch to the arcade and challenged him to a round of Daytona. Sadly, we were put in separate matches despite our close timings of putting the credit into the machine.
So anyways, I was catching up on all the cars. 35...27...20...17...8...5...3...
..."Can you please crash?" [Biatch]
BANG!
I crashed. Grrr...
And I ended up in the 27th position! WTF?!?!?!
Ok I'm kinda tired to finish up my rant now so let's sum it up.
1) Biatch is a back-man 2) Biatch caused me to crash 3) We got high on candy

My brother had two Gerbils once. One's the colour of dust. We named him 'Dusty'. The other's the colour of bread crust. Obviously, we named him 'Crusty' / 'Krusty'. [My brother wanted the 'K' but I prefer the 'C']
This is how they look like. [I got the picture off the net cos we didn't have a proper camera last time to take pictures of them.]
"Krusty is dead."
I got that text message from my brother this morning, at 6.52am. Part of me dismissed it to be a nightmare, while part of me knew that it wasn't.
Crusty was, and always will be, my favourite Gerbil of the two. Both of them are really cute but they exude different vibes.
To me, Crusty was the more outgoing one of the two. Happy go lucky, cheeky, and playful. If he was human, he'd be your typical cute heartbreaker.
Dusty, on the other hand, was more on the serious side. Strong headed, level-headed, and firm. If he was human, he'd be your typical charming heartbreaker.
When my brother first got them, he had to tame them as they'll bite. So he'd spend time playing with them, and end up getting bitten at times. As I was afraid of getting bitten, I didn't dare to play with the Gerbils until they were "certified tame".
I remember the times when my brother and I will sit on the floor, and take the two of them out. We'll let them climb onto our shoulders , run around on our legs etc;
My brother added a couple more gerbils to the family. But Crusty was still my favourite.
Holden came into the family and we had to give the Gerbils away as their smell was driving Holden crazy and we feared that he'd get to them one day.
So, my brother gave them away to his friend and I heard that they've grown quite chubby. I've always wanted to go visit them, to see if they remember me but I never had a chance.
Never had. Never will anymore.
R.I.P. Crusty
I wonder why I'm crying. Maybe it's the combination of the song and the fact that you're gone. Pardon me if you think I'm overreacting. I'm just a very emotional person.
School's a bitchhhhhhhhh when you have to get up at 6.30am everydayyyy!
Oh, and I just realised how much I CANNOT stand it when people get in my way. Yes yes I know, the world is not mine etc etc; But I just hate hate hate it when people walk oh so slowly, as if the world revolves around their timings. I just wanna shove them aside and barge my way through. Then turn around and roll my eyes at them, just to rub it in. Hehe...
What happens sometimes, is that, my friend(s) and I will say. in a rather audible whisper. "TSK... Walk so slowly... Bloody hell, take up the whole path some more..." This is a 95% certified way of getting people's attention. They'll turn around, step aside and we'll scoff and make our way through.
Well, what really happens MOST of the time is that, we'll say in a damn loud, and pissed off voice, "EXCUSE ME."
Other than that, we'll just be squeezing our way through.
Ok, I am done with my rant.
