Heh. Found some time to blog, if not, I would be letting my blog/blogders(if there's any) down, aye?
Firstly, thanks Shihui for tagging! Lol I dunno why but tagboard funnily censored "hui". Wonder why.
These few days been rotting at home. Margy tells me to be thankful that nush has only 6-week holidays instead of more than 2 months like other secondary schools. BUT THEY GET TO GO ON HOLIDAY! =( I mean... you know... trips, vacations, if not they go back to school for training. At least they've got something to do.
Anyways yesterday(Wednesday) my phone battery was dead before I could realise that I had been totally jipped(rip-off from the parent trap). =/ Maybe my eyes played tricks on me or something I thought the outing was at 10, and I went there at 10, thinking it was 4 hours, until two. But no one was there and I witnessed such amazing prowess and skills in the interschool volleyball competition held there. Some schools like erm... Shuqun, Xinmin... all those lah. But the girls... so small-sized so strong. AND volleyball is cool. (: But back to main point, I arrived at 10 and no one was there so I decided to call, just to realise my phone battery was dead! Then I thought maybe it's at 12(and it was supposed to be) so I waited. Was watching the volleyball competitions but it ended early so I went next "door" to watch the Mayflower Secondary school badminton team train and if you ask me, the people training at first court were kind of lousy lah. So anyway I got sian-ed then went next "door" again, where it was all dark and stuff and I was watching 4 Evergreen(sec?) girls play volleyball among themselves and got siandiaowed again. So I was busy rotting away and if you ask me, I'd rather rot at home than rot at some place I'm not that familiar with and trust me the feeling sucks.
Anyway I played with some strangers for 20 minutes; there was this cute little boy super super pro at badminton but footworks must improve I guess. But knows where to hit and HOW to hit. Prokia. Him aside I played for 20 minutes before I decided to sit bus home. Dammit spent 2+ hours outside and guess what. When I arrived home NOBODY was at home and I didn't have the key and I whiled the time away trying to do some volleyball stances on mini-basketballs which was rather lame so I stopped and decided to ride my scooter but it was sian-ing riding around nowhere then I decided to play tennis with the wall at the lift area but the area was too small and I had to use so little strength and it just wasn't worth it lah so I rested on floor for a while and then went back to bench outside my house and finally fell asleep there until about 3. I went downstairs to buy snacks(chips!) and a drink(Horlicks choc) and then climbed onto the playground wall and sat there watching this non-Chinese guy learning tennis from a coach. Lol the coach was mocking the guy to me and I grinned 'cos the guy couldn't receive properly(backhand volley couldn't do it? but his forehand sometimes double bounce also). Then the coach asked me "you play tennis?" I shook my head. "Makan only?" I grinned. I was eating potato chips then. (: Hahah.
When I went up dad was home and I finally entered my home sweet home. DIAO. WASTED more than FOUR hours of my life. =/
And guess what? Courts had been cancelled I don't even know why alright. Nevermind forget it.
Anyway nowadays so sian I decided to secretly practise ballet before I sleep lol. 'Cos the dance was too cool I feel like asking the school for a ballet enrichment and invite Sylvia McCully(once my teacher!) to teach! Because Ms McCully is really... a very nice teacher. =)
When I went for dinner at ChongQing Hot Pot, I HAD to go downstairs to see the ballet shop. So nice! Although it was closed, I peered from outside. Wish I owned those stuff. Want my own ballet shoes and leotard again. =(
My ballet's only up to grade 2. Maybe ask Adabelle/Marianne to teach. I've got the music CD leh. Sharl, let's learn and dance together sometime, ask your xiaolaopo Marianne to teach! LOL nownow Fishie don't be jealous, Sharl still loves you but I hereby declare she loves me MOST! (:
Lol crapped so much. I dunno if I should accelerate Maths but I'll study anyway. And so I realised the investigative questions(or something) we did in GEP last time are just studies of "Functions"! Just that we didn't know it I guess. Functions!
x=2y; x is function of y. (: Function = dependent variable.
That's all I've learnt so far leh. =/ Gonna practise ballet soon.
Ohyar! Started to read too. Completely grown sian of computer and tv and obviously shopping =/
TV I also watched and learnt some stuff from the subtitles, some stuff I learnt in P5 but forgot! =/
Lol.

Whoaaa. I have kind of lost my blogging zest! But I mustmust perservere! Bryann told me he was blogging, and that I should blog too! But I'm lazee! =/
ThursdayArts Fest! Was tending the journy club booth when I saw CHARMAINE! Brandy invited her! And with Charmaine came Magdalene and Emily! Heh I didn't know who Emily was but she seemed nice and friendly (: HUGGED Charmaine and Magdalene and decided to show them around. Brandy reminded me of SHENG! *wolf-whistles* And after she got to meet Sheng(I bet her heart was fluttering lahh (: ), I took her to the pottery area. Guess what? TO MEET TAN JE HON! LOL. Charmaine you haven't told me yet what you think of him kay. LOL. Jehon must have looked very sexaye, or gentlemanly, wearing that apron! And trying to make a pot, but his efforts were futile! (:
Hoho journy club sold ALL the newsletters! (:
I dedicated a song to 2 people. One of them was the
barbaric retard. Speaking of barbaric retard, I told it to Liyoung. And when Liyoung patted Jehon's shoulder and said in his face, "Hey you barbaric retard."(without saying that I told him to (: ); Jehon became kind of agitated. "Yeah I am a barbaric retard; then you are
more barbaric and a
more retarded than me." Go eat faeces lah Jehon firsly Liyoung takes Literature and you don't so he is supposed to be more
si1 wen2 than you. Also, Liyoung doesn't go about scolding people LOUSY and even if he does, his "victims" laugh together with him all because he is NICER in his words and more humorous and funnier and... less barbaric. (: AND OBVIOUSLY HE ISN'T A RETARD. (: If HE was a retard you'd be a bigger one not the other way round. Argumentative points to this topic would hurt, so I wouldn't add them.
Lol digressed. So I dedicated the song "We Believe"(I think Fifi read out my dedication) to
barbaric retard leaving the 2 fishies laughing like siaow in the canteen. Haha you deserve it, barbaric retard! How can you scold them mean stuff! And don't think you are that great I think I can beat you in badminton you LOUSY. (: Aha I got back at you and I feel shiok. (:
YOU LOUSY POTTER YOU BARBARIC RETARD! Told you to add water but you add so much for what you *****************************************. (: Until I had to go and salvage that tiny piece of WETWET clay for ya and Reico told me it can't be helped anyway so I got my own clay and made myself a nicernicernicer pot(You didn't make one anyways).
Speaking of Reico, he kept helping those Chinese people(girls mainly) and
hu1 lue4 us leh. So I told Leslie(who makes a pot in less than 5 minutes!) "Reico only helps
zhong1 guo2 mei3 mei2" LOL. Leslie was stunned for a split-second before he realised what I was talking about and HE BURST INTO LAUGHTER LAH. (:
Anyways time limit 5 minutes is... nonsense (: I bet Jehon stayed there for 45 minutes I think and didn't even make a pot. LOUSY! Well I stayed for 20 minutes I guess... made a potttt! (: Ahlian scolded me LOUSY 'cos I took art and culdn't centre! Ah! Wheel throwing is the only technique I didn't master properly. MY SLAB BUILDING IS THE NICEST NICEST KAY! (:
Yay Charmaine saw me doing wheel throwing. Anyways maine mag and emily gave me their extra coupons 'cos apparently they were
siandiaowed and wanted to leave. *I don't blame (:* JUST JOKING! Omg. LOL they must have had something on! It was so fun here what!! Anyways they gave me erm... $28 worth of coupons! WOW! Then after that they took $9 for Vignette screening. (:
After I made my pot we went to take class photos! I wanted to stand on the thing! Anyway Mr Koh told me "
ji3 tian1 bu2 jian4, ni3 you4 lao3 le!" I didn't understand at first leh! I turned to see who he was talking to 'cos his eyes didn't look like he was looking at me lehh! Then I realised! yx(or jy?) told me that it was my hair! STILL GOT CLAY! Gahh! Lol Mr Koh was grinning like Cheshire cat. I thought no more liao mah! Thought yx helped me clear it in the atrium. Eeks. LOL. I
laotaipo x). Anyways after that I really forgot what happened! Heehee. Went to buy food(curry chicken!) and then went in for Vignette screening!
Fangyi, the "I hate you!"s in your vignette... they sound very... aiyah anyway they cause goosebumps. x( OoOoOoh! Brandy and Darren(Goh-- who wants to get associated with Dlow)! JUST JOKING. Darren Goh is nice person. (:
Anyways in the lucky draw Ms Stef Tan called out "0167!"! OMG THAT WAS MY NUMBER OKAY! I was so surprised! "There you go, Music of the Night". COOL! I really thought it was Music of the Night CD and Sharl really wanted it so I was deciding whether to trade with her(SHE WON SOMETHING TOO xD) the prizes but it turned out to be Jay Chou's newest album(Fangyi told me after the fest)! Gosh that's TOO COOL. (: Zhiqing said I was lucky (: Anyway I would have preferred the sports vouchers though. With 50 bucks... hmmm less money I need to save up for *cast furtive glances*. LOL. But nay! Still hafta save up. =/
After Vignette screening time was almost up. Stations were about to close already and I couldn't paint a pebble. Anyways I went to the splash paint counter! Me and Paul paid $20 for me and HUBERT(cheapskatekia) to splash paint! I contributed $18 =/ LOL from Charmaine's coupons (: THANKS YA! Anyways Mr Ang was there to be a target! AND HE WAS WALKING AROUND! No matter wad. I hit him HARD on his arm! (: Block as many as he could! But couldn't block the unnamed flying missile on his arm! Oooogfh! MUST HAVE BEEN SO PAIN RIGHT!
Lol then I also targetted Momo and pig brain soup, and Jiawei and Geneyan. LOL. Who so stupid go and be target for wad. Anyways that Roy Ang came and guess what. He threw at me and it hit hard and I wanted to get back at him but Geneyan had that irritating umbrella to defend Roy Ang. STUPID LAH! ("But Roy Ang is a nice person!" BUT HE HIT ME DAMN IT!) So anyways Jehon splashed paint at me and I throw it straight on his back. YOU DESERVE IT YOU LOUSYPOKK! Haha.
Some brown sponge hit me and it got into my eyes I think. Or something. Anyways nothing big happened.
Woohoo! After the shiok plaint splashing I wanted to redeem coupons but couldn't. Couldn't paint T-shirts UNTIL I SAW THE YR3S PAINTING T-SHIRT! Woohoo! So anyways I don't think I had enough money so Dnovan dontaed his remaining coupons and I GOT A SHIRT TO PAINT! The shirt I painted is so nice, save for some blunders here and there and.. sigh I guess what do you have to expect huh. ANYWAY THAT BLACK PAINT WAS STUCK! And when I squeezed it it SPLASHED OUT and there's a streak of black on the left sleeve. No matter wad. (: The shirt is still nice. (:
Fangyi helped me take it to the art room to be dried. (: And I guess that was the end of Arts Fest, a feeling of satisfaction. (:
Then it was rehearsal! Nothing much. Heh Dropnow! Wondered what they were doing with the jacket. =/ I liekd Tiff's group better though, 'cos they didn't need all those fancy stuff and just pure dancing, nicer wad. (: But for Genia's group, when she really did drop to her knees, I THOUGHT SHE MADE A BLUNDER AND FELL! But she didn't! That was on purpose! Too cool. (:
Then basically everything was quite okay except that I saw Ms Flo frowning at the Chinese Orchestra because it sounded so mixed up without Gregory leading. LOL. Dunno if he should lead but their conductor wasn't at any of the rehearsals! BLEAGH!
DANCE ROCKED. They used another Bond music this time. After hearing it for 2 rehearsals I can remember the tune now and I just downloaded it. ROCKS LAA. (:
Looking at them, amagad according to Sharl, she says I was quite swayed. Dance is super cool. (:
Well anyway rehearsal ended lah. Nothing much to talk about it.
Friday morning! WENT TO SCHOOL xD. So funn! During break we had fruits! Felica and I took lots of watermelon slices because no one went to eat 'em! LOL and we were laughing because I dunno what I did and she burst out laughing and me too! LOL. We are laugh-y people, basically we can laugh at anything. YAY HI5!
Again, was fascinated by the dance people. During break played a bit of pingpong, then BRYAN TAUGHT ME A TRICK! Some trick they were doing with the jacket in Dropnow. HEH I KNOW HOW TO DO IT! But it was Thio's jacket. Fangyi was saying that if I wear that jacket I didn't need to wear anything else 'cos it was so looong! LOL. And anyway that sleeve without my arm in it, it looked flimsy 'cos the jacket sleeve was too long. =/ No matter wad, Bryan rocks. (:
Heh so after rehearsal Fangyi and I went to the art room, where I did touch-ups to my shirt(NICE LAH!) and then after that we went to MacDonalds. But before that met Mr Ang.
"Hello Tingan. What time did you sleep last night?"
"Umm... 1:26!"
"*gasps* And so full of energy eh?"
"Nah. I slept just now. Heheh."
"Aiyoh. Next time sleep earlier."
LOL. I was emailing at late hours. Heh. (:
Met Bryan at schoolgate! He didn't have an umbrella =( It was drizzling! Fangyi was too lazy to run. GAHH. You 14:05 for 2.4 leh you!
Met Geneyan at MacDonalds. And Asra. She lost her bag =(. I felt sorry for her but I couldn't do anything, seriously. So sorry Asra.
So anyways I came home and I FELL ASLEEP until 4:35! MY DAD CAME HOME AND WOKE ME UP! WE LEFT HOME AT 4:47! I think. LOL. So anyways I arrived at school at about 5:10 GAH. BUT I DIDN'T GET INTO TROUBLE! Lol saw Tian Cheng. Everybody was busy doing something and anyway Viona's shoe was too small for my my feet were sore =/ But anyways I put my violin at backstage and saw K. LOL I said 'hello' and she said 'hi' then said "Whaaa TingAn
ni3 chuan1 de2 hen3 mei3". Flattered. Sheepish. Eeeks.
THOSE ASIDE! Woohoo took group photo! The photographer wanted me to move closer to Sidwyn. THEN IRRITATING YENYEN WENT TO PUSH ME! GAH! =/=/=/
After photo taking it was all free time! I put my lucky draw ticket into the lucky draw tub. Then saw lots of people. DONOVAN IS FUNNAYE. He was an usherer and was in formal. Then he was telling me he was pretending to be like one of the workers in Queen Anne Marie Hotel(
wang zi bian qing wa).
"Welcome. This is Queen Anne Marie Hotel. This way please."
*I walk down the steps with weird footsteps due to sore feet*
"Please do not wear high heels if you can't, miss. I can see you are walking in a very strange fashion." (or something liddat)
DAMN FUNNAYE!
LOL. Then I told Mr Ang I made his "J"! But it was super notnice! Sorraye!
So anyway the concert started and I guess we looked like retards just sitting at the front of the stage. I mean, won't people be irritated seeing us all the time. Especially during dance, we're like... eyesores lah. GAH.
Dance! Only the stage was lit up! It looked too cool. (:
So anyways for Taiji, zx and Mathias went up to follow Mr Hokk! Hokk gave zx thumbs up leh. Actually I had this CRAZY idea of going up to follow Hokk too! IT LOOKED SO FUN LEHS. Anyways mathias they all bidded. Whatever for I bet they don't have the money. Luckily Mrs Phang saw the situation and salvaged it by bidding too. LOL. Asmidah said she wanted to bid too! But was scared no one bid after her! LOL.
Then Hokk did something with a red fan. Then whenever he
piak open the fan Mathias and his gang would clap and cheer. And I saw Randy and Kaywee too LOL.
Then Mirabella's mom bought Ms Ching's pot. And I think $200+ for Ms Li's Qin dynasty calligraphy. Aha those type of Chiense characters! Ms Li is too pro already. Then Mr Said and Chuiyi's pot! CHUIYI IS TOO PRO LIAO. Hers was the only student piece which got auctioned I think.
Ohyeah. Poor Bryan. =( He fell during the dance. Well i actually like the ballet part of the dance better. Cool hip-hop vs ballet. I saw Elaine do this dance movement. It was too cool already. I tried to do it at home but I couldn't! Gah! As for the jump in air and do split thingy. I'm gonna try when I have the chance. Dance is too cool liao. But my mom won't let me continue ballet I think. I have a crazy idea actually, to learn ballet at NAFA. But I bet my mom wouldn't let lor. Sigh.
Hmmm anyways I think our orchestra is not good enough. The players are not seated according to which part they play, and there is no conductor, making it extremely likely for us to not be together because some of the players just don't know how to listen to others and just play their own,
qi si wo le. Last time in Nanyang Mrs Chan made us practise lots and we were together and we all looked at her and we played at correct positions even if that meant we had to switch places in between pieces. And we always get Gold every year alright. Gah and if THIS NUSH ORCHESTRA WERE TO JOIN SYF, we can go die. (:
No matter wad. 1-yr violin enrichment students are quite pro. Can play pieces liao. (:
Anyways at the disco! Hahah the fishballs so nice. So i was eating and saw Liyoung! Told me dad "
baba zhe shi li yang."
Liyoung: Hi! *to me* Tingan are you only eating?
Me: Huh??
Liyoung: ARE YOU ONLY EATING??
Me: *nods*
Liyoung:
zhen1 sao3 xing4.
LOL! My mom was asking who that was. LOL.
Then they flashed some photos on the ceiling! COOL!
Parents went down to wait for me unil I was done dancing. LOL I wasn't dancing lah in such weird attire! Saw Beryl's sister. She was so pissed at erm... I think Lianhan. Yep. Lianhan asked "OI how old are you?" Beryl's sister: *GLAREEEE*
So I was telling Fangyi she mustmustmustmustmust help me keep the shirt when it is done. She said yes. Then I asked where Bryan was. DUNNO WHAT'S WRONG WITH FANGYI SHE TURNED OUT TO JOIN IN THE NONSENSE! Then the whole group of people there (jy fangyi lianhan timo etc) wanted me to dance with Bryan. But so weird leh the music! And I'm in some weird attire! So Bryan asked me "wanna dance?" and I told him "I dunno how to" so Bryan just danced around me a while before we spotted the Fibo people not far off! Lianhan pushed Bryan and told him to go dance with them. Bryan said "OK~!" and then YANKED Lianhan out of the crowd and said "IF YOU COME WITH ME!" Then he and Lianhan were tugging each other and laughing away.
Ohyeah and Royyeo gave me a green lightstick! (: It is still glowing leh superb. (:
Parents came up and I had to go home. What a fantastic night. (:
At home, lots of people came online and I started sending the dance song to them, publicising it lol. I actually sent it to Donovan as "preview" of concert before the concert, but he couldn't recognise it till I told him it was the dance song. You slow-brain ah! JJK.
Asked from Jiayu, she said the thing ended at about 9+. Heh so it ended soon after I left.
I left at 9:26.
Woohoo! After blogging this looong post I feel so much better, so much more calmed down. Don't you try. (:

Thank God! (:
Everything's back to normal, just that I don't really want any of my life to be associated with that barbaric retard anymore. Return with love! Maybe my love is to just ignore him, live my own life and let him get on with his.
To
you: Heh sorry was getting too sensitive during exam period. I'm okay now and so are you and I'm really happy for that. (: Have fun in your holidays! Haha when I'm bored, I'll continue to help train your Runescape character. You are now using the Mithril Scimitar I once bought you! And that's quite great already. Cooking and fishing levels 30+. (:
Thank you and seeya around. =)

I don't want to click on any of the blogs in my bookmarks because they are either not updated or give me tons of stress.
I always wonder why things are the way they are.
I try to speculate God's motives for letting things happen to me the way they happen.
But my mind cannot take it. No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get the answer.
I just want to know, why do my hard work, my care and concern for others, my forgiving others, my trying to overlook matters, my trying to swallow everything down and my attempt to not make others angry, not pay off at all?
Why not?
When will they?
Dear God, please bless me because I am currently in a state of serious...(won't use the word depression). I think I don't have to say God because I know you know perfectly how I feel. I know you are aware of all the things that have happened to me. I know they happen for a reason. Please enlighten me, and please bless me.
Amen.
I just hope all my hard work will pay off someday. Soon.

I have just realised my shallowness in judging people.
I cannot believe my inconsideracy, MY indifference and obviously my SELFISHNESS.
I really feel sorry.
I'm sorry.

Today, something devastatingly traumatising happened. And I disappointed many people.
I know it was purely my fault. But hey, I still feel framed and
yuan1 wang4, because I was not even aware that I committed the mistake. But I have done so and what's done cannot be undone.
I know I cannot expect everybody to feel how I feel, and to feel indignant for me. Most felt pity for me, and I know that some would grant me their apologetic smiles.
I know it is not correct to hate a teacher, and therefore, I never was willing to admit animousity for a teacher, no matter how much I felt dislike for him. It was wrong, in my opinion. Also, I didn't want to be like those angsty teenagers who go about flaming teachers in their blogs whenever not satisfied with trivial matters. I try to overlook these trivial matters, and live life as it is. I can feel the indifference, and utter carelessness of some teachers towards me. By this, I am most affected. Not by the superficial occurences like not remembering my name and calling me some other weird nicknames which I did not give consent to. It is okay for them to do that, it is just the lack in effort that I can feel. Lack in effort to give me care and concern, when I know that I am putting in so many times more effort in giving my best for the subject.
And maybe, a feel of
xing4 zai1 le4 huo4-ness in the teacher's tone. I am grieved by all these. Haha maybe "grieved" is too strong a word to use. Pardon my narrow vocabulary.
Probably my negative feelings towards a teacher is strengthened by the contrast between him and others. It is not nice to mention names here for teachers to compare among themselves, although I think they would not be that childish. But today when I saw both of them side by side, talking to me, I could feel the vast difference. One was apologetic and felt pity for me, one was indifferent and hard as steel. I should not gauge teachers by their reactions to circumstances. Their way of handling matters may be different and it is not within my rights to judge them based on that. At least, not within the rights of my conscience.
Do not worry. I will get over this. And I will try to be more objective in my judgement of people. My judgement always seems very myopic and superficial. I do remember times when he was nice and gave his care and concern before. It is just my blindness that I do not observe it anymore after the incident. Or perhaps there was not a chance for him to express it.
From other students, I hear of his goodwills and genial intentions. I am not about to dismiss these ideas. They just have not occurred to me.
It is childish of me to wrongly accuse people just because I cannot feel their care and concern. Why do I keep wanting to feel it? I think it is because I do give lots of care and concern for others, and I feel that I should be treated the same way. After all, do unto others what you do unto you. I do not care for people just because I want them to care for me. I care for people out of my own will, but it would be heartrending to know that they do not care for me as much as I care for them. Bryan says that it is not necessary that a person can feel it if you care for them. I tell myself that all of you care for me, it's just that I don't realise it. Or I don't feel it. I will try to, though.
For now, I shall contemplate about Luxi saying I'm not fat. Looking at my flabby thighs, I can't help but wonder if he is lying. A young innocent boy like him isn't likely to lie. So I guess, I shall drown myself in happiness, because I... ain't fat?
Haha.

The house smells of pig brain soup. (:
Yes I DO drink pig brain soup. Okay once in a blue moon anyways. (: Mama just went to the mart and bought 12 pig brains today and now steaming 'em with
gouqizi. Mmmm.
I know you guys out there think it's disgusting but it's kind of nice you know. I mean, especially if you go to Taiwan's
hu2 xu1 zhang1(Formosa Zhang) and drink the
long2 sui2 tang1, which is actually pig brain, and you'll find it's fantastico!
So late now, see? But I'm still up. Tomorrow I've got 3 exams! But, I'm just waiting for that stupid soup. =/
----------------
Potions lesson wasn't so pleasant. I was the type of kid who could understand things if I wanted to pay attention. Of course I did pay attention, but I was busy being irritated by the smart-alec-ness of that Hermione Granger. I had nothing against her really, but perpetually hearing her voice throughout the entire lesson seemingly made Professor Snape angrier and angrier and when he arrived at my cauldron, and saw all that gooey, mashed-up potion I concocted(which was obviously a failure), he just exploded.
"DID YOU NOT PUT IN THE CUT-UP MANDRAKES BEFORE YOU PUT IN THE BEES' WINGS?!"
His words gave me a fright. I did not have experience in this field after all. How that Hermione Granger, who was from a muggle family like me, could concoct her potions so perfectly, and remember all the potion recipes like the palm of her hand, was beyond me(
sorry Bryan I HAD to rip that off ;) ).
Hermione was actually quite pitiful, really. At least in Professor Snape's class. She was always the one who had to tolerate professor's utter humiliations for "not being able to restrain herself." The potions she concocted were, in my opinion, the best in the class, yet Professor Snape refused to give her credits. I feel indignant for her, really.
But even so, I am determined to overtake her one day. Even if I have to stay in the library during all my free hours reading thick, heavy books of these unfamiliar magical thingummywats(
I COINED THAT WORD!).
Arithmancy next. I wonder if Mr Koh and Mr Ingham's teachings would come to use. Or maybe even the COSMOS series I've watched. Didn't COSMOS mention how astrology was utter nonsense? How would this magical module prove itself?
I suddenly miss MacDonalds in the real world. But then again, who needs MacDonalds when you have elf-prepared food here? But nobody would understand. Nobody.
