I'M FINALLY BACK FROM CHURCH CAMP
what can i say? i love it
though this year was fun, there were quite a number of injuries
an old lady (whose name i don't really know) fainted and threw up. suspected stroke
and then, uncle Peter Ho, broke his hand while playing soccer with some youths, i think
wow, we ARE pretty violent
and yet again, joshua punched wisman in the face, and wisman's teeth dropped. at least some of em

i bunked with jamie, iris and amanda
occasionally gladys would come watch tv with us in the room
i have to say, the malaysian singing standard is MUCH MUCH higher than singapore's
iris so disgusting lah. leave her underwear everywhere
and i like jamie's underwear; it's striped black and white
WOOT!

darryl is weird
because he's annoying and nice at the same time
why annoying? everytime he sees me he'll say "GAP GAP GAP!"
and it's so not normal for a 17/18 year old guy to bully small girls
hence, the weirdness

shi min, cheryl, joyce, iris and amanda were my team mates
AND GOOD NUTES!
we won the carpet game thingy.
with a record of 10 secs i think
go girls!!!!

being our DGL, we invited cheryl to our room to watch videos on the laptop at night
rahh, fun fun fun
i'm kinda dumb
cause my room is 512
and then i always end up banging on 510, because i always mistake my room for that room
and when i put my card into the slot, it's rejected.
and i end up thinking that the card is spoilt
like i said, dumb

i dunnno what gracelynn's trying to say
in her tag.
is she rambling?
or is she telling me that i bash and smash
literally, or what?
pls tell me, cause i'm kinda blur/dumb after coming back from malaysia
so, yeahh
TELL ME!!!!

i miss drumming
it's like a sense of urgency

Chapter 1
I didn't know about the dead girl until the first day of school.

It wasn't my fault. I swear it wasn't. I mean, how was I supposed to have known? It wasn't like I'd been home. If I'd been home, of course I would have seen it in the paper, or on the news, or whatever. I would have heard people talking about it.

But i hadn't been home. I'd been stuck 4 hours north of home, at the Michigan dunes, in my best friend Ruth Ambramowitz's summer-house. The Ambramowitzes go to the dunes for the last two weeks of August every summer, and this year, they invited me to go along

I wasn't going to go at first. I mean, who'd want to spend two weeks trapped in a summer-house with Ruth's twin brother Skip? Um, not me. Skip still chews with his mouth open even though he's sixteen and shoud know better. Plus he is like Grand Dragon Master of our town's Dungeons&Dragons population, in spite of the Trans Am he bought with his bar mitzvah money.

On top of which, Mr Ambramowitz has this thing about cable, and the only telephone he'll allow in his vacation house is his cell, which is reserved for emergency use only, like if one of his clients gets thrown in a clink or whatever. (He's a lawyer.)

So you can see why I was like,"Thanks but no thanks" to Ruth's invitation.

But my parents said that they were driving my brother Mike and all his stuff up to Harvard, where he was going to be starting his freshman year, and that Great-aunt Rose would be coming to stay with me and my other brother, Douglas, while they were gone.

Never mind that I'm sixteen and Douglas is twenty and that we do not need parental supervision, particularly in the form of a seventy-five-year-old-lady who is obsessed with solitaire and my sex life (not that i have one). Great aunt Rose was coming to stay, and I was informed that I could either like it or lump it.

I chose neither. Instead of coming home after my stint as a camp counselor at the Lake Wawasee Camp for Gifted Child Musicians, which was how i got to spend my summer vacation, I went with the Ambramowitzes to the dunes.

Hey. Even watching Skip eat grilled peanut-butter sandwiches morning, noon, and night for two weeks beat spending five minutes with Great aunt Rose, who likes to talk about how in her day,only cheap girls wore dungarees.

Seriously. Dungarees. That's what she calls them.

You can see why i chose the dunes instead.

And truthfully, the two weeks didn't go so badly.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I didn't have a good time or anything. How could I? Because while we'd been slaving away at Camp Wawasee, Ruth had been working very hard on her teen social development, and she'd managed to acquire a boyfriend.

That's right. An actual boyfriend, whose parents-wouldn't you know it- also had a house on the dunes, like ten minutes away from Ruth's.

I tried to be supportive, because Scott was Ruths first boyfriend-you know, the first guy that'd acutally liked her back, and who didn't seem to mind being seen holding her hand in public, and all of that.

But let's face it, when someone invites you to stay with them for two weeks and then spends those two weeks basically hanging out with somebody else, it can be a little dissapointing. I spent the majority of my daylight hours lying on the beach, reading my used paperbacks, and most of my nights trying to beat Skip at Crash Bandicoot on his Sony Playstation.

Oh yeah. It was a real thrill, my summer vacation.

The good part, Ruth kept pointing out to me, was that by being at the dunes, i was not at my house waiting for my boyfriend or whatever he is, to call. This, Ruth informed me, was an importnat part of the courtship ritual... you know, the not-being-there-when-he-calls part. Because then, Ruth explained, he'll wonder where you are, and start making up these scnarios in his head about where you could be. Maybe he'll even think you're with another guy!

Somehow, this is supposed to make him like you mroe.

Which is all good, I guess, but is sort of contingent one thing:
The guy actually has to call

See, if he doesn't call, he can't discover that you aren't home. My boyfriend-or should i say, the guy I like, since he's not technically my boyfriend, as we have never been out on an actual date-never calls. This is because he is of the opinion that i am what is commonly referred to in the great state of Indiana as jailbait.

And he's already on probation.

Don't ask me what for. Rob won't tell me.

That's his name. Rob Wilkins. Or The Jerk, as Ruth refers to him.

But I don't think it's fair to call him the Jerk, because it's not as if he ever led me on. I mean, he made it pretty much clear from the moment he found out that I was sixteen that there could never be anthing between us. At least, not for a couple more years.

And really, you know, I am fine with that. I mean, there are lots of fish in the sea.

And okay, maybe they don't all have eyes the color of fog as it rolls over the lake just before sunrise, or a set of washboard abs, or a completely cherried-out Indian motorcycle they've built from scratch in their barn.

But you know, they're male. Ostensibly.

Whatever. The point is, I was gone for two weeks: no phone, no TV, no radio, no media resources, whatever. It was a vacation, all right? A real vacation. Well, except for the having fun part.

So how was i supposed to know that while Iwas gone, one of the girls in my class had croaked? No one had mentioned a word about it to me.

Not until homeroom, anyway.

That's the problem, really, living in such a small town. I've been in the same homeroom with the same people since middle school. Oh, sure, ocassionally somebody will move out of town, or a new kid will show up. But for the most part, it's the same old faces, year after year.

Which was why, the first day of my junior year at Ernest Pyle High School, I slid into the second seat from the door in homeroom. I always ended up in the second seat from the door in homeroom. We sit alphabetically, and my last name-Mastriani- puts me second in the Ms for my class, behind Amber Mackey. Amber Mackey always sits in front of me in homeroom. Always

Except that day. That day, she didn't show up.

Hey, I didn't know why. How was supposed to know? Amber had never not shown up for the first day of school before. She was no more of an intellectual dynamo thatn i am, but you never actually do anything on the first day of school. She was a cheerleader. She was always all,"We've got spirit, yes we do, we've got spirit, how 'bout you?"

You know the type.

A type like that, I don't know, you'd expect to show up the first day of school, just in order to show off her tan.

So i left the first chair in the row of seats by the door empty. Everyone filed in, looking carefully nonchalant, even though you knew most of them-the girls anyway- had spent hours putting together exactly the right outfit to show off how much weight they'd lost over the summer...or the'r new highlights... or their chemically whitened teeth.

Everyone sat down where they were supposed to-we'd done this enough times to know by the elventh grace, who sat behing whom in homeroom, and people were all,"Hey, how was your summer?" or "Oh my God, you're so tan," or "That skirt is so cute!"

And then the bell rang, and Mr Cheaver came in with the roster and told us all to settle down, even though at 8:15 in the morning, nobody was exactly boisterous.

Then he looked down at the roster, hesitated, and said"Mastriani"

I raised my hand even though Mr Cheaver was standing practicaally in front of me, and had had me last year for World Civ, so it wasn't as if he didn't recognise me. Granted, Ruth and i had spent a considerable amount of our Wawasee paychecks at the clothing outlet stores outside Michigan City, and i was wearing, at Ruth's insistence, an actual skirt to school, something that might have thrown Mr.C off a little, since i'd never before shown up to school in anything but jeans and a T-shirt.

Still, as Ruth pointed out , I was never going to get Rob to realise how much he'd erred in not going out with me unless I got someone else to take me out (and was seen by Rob and his other person's company), so according to Ruth, I had to "make an effort" this year. I was in Espirit from head to toe, but wasn't as much that I was hoping to attract potential suitors as it was that, having gotten back late as I had the night before. (Ruth absolutely refuses to exceed the speed limit when she drives, even when there is not a culvert in sight in which a highway patrolman could be hiding), I had no other clean clothes.

Maybe, I though, Mr cheaver didn't recognise me in my miniskirt and cotton T-shirt sweater set. So I went," Here Mr.C", to show him i was present

"I can see you Mastriani", Mr.C said, in his usual lazy drawl, "Move up one."

I looked at the empty seat in front of me.

"Oh no, Mr.C," I said. "That's Amber's seat. She must be late or something. But she'll be here."

There was a strange silence. Really. I mean, not all silences are the same, even though you would think by definition-the absence of sound-they would be.

This one, however was more silent than most silences. Like everyone, all at once, had suddenly decided to hold their breath.

Mr.Cheaver-who was also holding his breath- narrowed his eyes at me. There weren't many teachers in Ernest Pyle High who i could stand, but Mr.C was one of them. That's because he hated every single on of us equally. He maybe hated me a little less than my peers, because last year, I had actually done the homework he'd assigned, as I'd found World Civ quite interesting, ecspecially the part about the wholesale slaughter of entire populations,

"Where have you been, Mastriani?" Mr.Cheaver wanted to know. "Amber Mackey's not coming back this year."

Seriously, how was I to have known?

"Oh really?" I said. "Did her parents move or something?"

Mr.C just looked at me in a very displeased manner, while the reast of the class exhaled, all at once, and started buzzing instead. I had no idea what they were talking about, but from the scandalized looks on their faces, I could tell I had really put my foot in this time. Tisha Murray and Heather Montrose looked particularly contemptuos of me. I thought about getting up and cracking their heads together, but I've tried that before and it doesn't actually work.

But another thing I was trying to "make an effort" to do my junior year-besides cause some innocent young man to fall completely in love with me so i could stroll, ever so casually, hand in hand with him in front of the grage where Rob had been working since he graduated last year- was not getting into fistfights. Seriously. I had spent enough weeks in detention back in the tenth grace thanks to my inability to control my rage impulse. I was not going to make the same mistake this year.

That was one of the other reasons-besides my total lack of Levis-that i'd gone for the miniskirt. It wasn't so easy to knee somebody in the groin while clad in Lycra/rayon blend.

Maybe, I thought, as I observed the expression of the people around me, Amber had gotten herdelf knocked up, and everyone knew it but me. Hey, in spite of Coach Albright's Health class, mandatory for all sophomores, in which we were warned of the perils of unsafe sex, it happens. Even to cheerleaders.

But apparently, not to Amber Mackey, aince Mr.C looked down at me and went, tonelessly, "Mastriani. She's dead"

Julia
Spiritual meaning: Youthful
Inherent meaning: Guided by faith
ooohlala
youthful. hmmm
i can't stay youthful forever right?

which is half half kinda true
i used to get in alot of trouble with miss lee last year D:

just to set it straight
I NEVER SAID THAT THE KEYBOARD WAS NOT ESSENTIAL FOR A GOOD BAND
i'm not trying to sound angry

but i think it's kinda sorta true. 50,50

my mom wants to give the daug away
because of my grandma
and i'm not a cold, cruel person
ok maybe sometimes i am
but that's not the point
the point is that i'd choose the dog to the sick relative anyday
i mean, it's not like she ever cared about me or whatever
and i haven't seen her for like the last 4 years, with the exception of chinese new year
all of a sudden she just comes out of the blue
and the next thing you know, she's changing your life
and because of that, my dog's gotta go, so does the current maid
because they wanna get a different maid
i SO DO NOT want my dog to go or the maid to go

sometimes. i really can't believe my life.
it's just that i have to believe it
because it's reality

CHRISTIE!!!

ok today in tuition (TLL)
there was this girl who was a transfer
and her name was "christie"
ahahaha, she makes me smile with joy :D
because she's SOOOOOO SOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOO nice ((:
it's not like she's one of those geeky kids that don't have friends that's why they act all nice and suck up to you
oh noooooo, christie ain't like that
she's cool ((:
cause i was wearing jeans, and she was wearing a skirt
christie: Nice jeans
julia: You've gotta nice skirt too
christie: Thanks, i noticed that Wei Long has a crush on Miss Wong
julia: Yeahh, he chokes when she asks him a question
christie: And i thought i was the only one who noticed

and that's when we started crapping

rahhh, i miss her
but at the end of the class, we ended up exchanging each other's phone numbers
and email adds

did you know that she owns an amp and electric guitar?
and she plays like a pro!!!
and when i found out,
julia: Cool, we can jam together, you bring your friends,i'll bring mine!

2006-06-04T21:16:00.000-07:00

poetry

i miss my jie
cause now she's in UK for her lit trip :(
ok, on friday, i went to NUS to watch my sister's performance
CAP thing lah
saw rachael quah and robyn performing too ((:
believe me
all these ppl that are english brainiacs coming together
and collaborating
it's so RAD man
and first, there was the percussions, which was the first time in CAP
and they were so cool beating the BIG BIG HUGE drum and metal stuffs

the second one was poetry
which was one of my faves
not because it was like international standard
but because the poems actually had alot of meaning
their poems aren't like tricia's poems, which talk about hate and everything
but they talk about politics and everything around you
there was a poem called "Death of Alice" talking about how alice died
cool huh?
and my FAVOURITE was a poem about technology corrupting the world
and people all over the world are reflecting about their lives
and they bring in religion and everything

the after the CAP performance, we went to fetch jie to the airport
and then she left for UK ((:
on saturday i went for my drum lessons
and now i can play the whole song of
"Wake Me Up When September Ends"
haha so cool right?
debbie cannot play :( so i must help her :D
anyhoos, after that, me and mumsie went to raffles city to shop
good nutes
we bought me a new pair of JEANS!!!
OP was kinda dead
but not aldo, lots of cool stuff there
lalala i'ma buy nice smelling fagrance stuff for someone ((:

2006-06-02T15:04:00.000-07:00

he got into the finals

like i predicted ((:
i wanna design a pair of sneakers for jamie cullum and get to
meet him :D
but i don't think i will, too young
i'm really tired, cause i've been making tons of tiny adjustments to my blogskin
like how wide or tall the thing should be
or what colour the font should be
or the layout :(
and i woke up at like 9:00 today
got my inspiration from elyssa's cute jellybean blog ((:
daddy's gonna go to africa
and today, the whole family has to go to the airport to send my sister off
and i don't want to
i'd rather stay at home and eaet gummies :D
oh well, I HAVE TO! and maybe i'll cut my hair SHORT tmr with mommy
bye!

2006-06-01T00:19:00.001-07:00

you've heard all my friends
and everyone say it
but, since i love him soooooo much
i'll say it again
PAUL PAUL PAUL PAUL PAUL PAUL
TWOHILL TWOHILL TWOHILL
yup, that's him
paul woman's breast

i think that gurmit smells pretty too

I LOVE PAUL!!!
go paul, it's your birthday

rahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

and he was like
"all you sexy ppl out there vote for me ((:"
and because i AM sexy like paul
i voted for him
aaahhh

see you in the finals twohill

i watched mean girls YET AGAIN
after SI, on star movies
ok ok i know it's lame
but hey! i just needed a chick flick ok?
it's funny how there aren't any people that rule over
the school society like that
but in america it's true

you know, all the loners
wannabes
goths
geeks and stuff

but some ppl in Singapore really do think
that they rule the world
now i shall quote
"thinking that another person is ugly doesn't make you any prettier, thinking that someone else is fat doesn't make you any skinnier"
and with the help of close ups
i realised that lindsay isn't really that gorgeous
don't even mention hilary

anyhoos, debs thinks i dance well ((:
can't believe artem got out
i mean he really deserves to be in the competition
even though i love jamile
for his whole walking in air thing

kinda reminds me of snoop doggy dogg
with his whole
"So don't change the dizzle, turn it up a little
I got a living room full of fine dime brizzles
Waiting on the Pizzle, the Dizzle and the Shizzle
G's to the bizzack, now ladies here we gizzo"
he's got something going on

my tuition teacher gave me a whole bag
of sour plum sweets ((:
not contributing much to my diet
but heck!
enjoyment's what matters

2006-05-31T10:25:00.000-07:00

i'm bothered
and because of that
i feel
neglected

anyhoos.
i finished drawing things for
anisha, grace, gracelynn, tricia and jiahui
oh yah, and NIC!
nothing to do mah

i feel asleep with the radio on
because that's how i GO TO sleep
and i woke up five times at night

i don't know how it works
i mean
i was definitely asleep
then i just opened my eyes
all of a sudden and started llistening to the song :/

here's the funny funny FUNNY thing ((:
whenever i just woke up for no reason
they were playing my favourite songs
haha XD

lets see
my all time favourites:
eminem- just lose it
mariah carey ft. snoop dogg- say something
better than ezra- juicy
sergio mendes ft. black eyed peas- mas que nada
pussy cat dolls- buttons

they play really nice songs at night (:

i think that my subconscious mind was working or something
so i was sort of "aware" of what i was listening to
hmmm, yeahh

BUT then, at about like 7, daddy came in
and then he turned off the aircon
rahh rahh RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
i'm angry liao
wahh :(
i'm a dog hear me growl
GRRRRRRRRRRRR

then he was like
"aiyoh, she left the radio on the whole night"
and then he turned off the radio
erm, excuse me
the radio doesn't contribute much to our electricity bills
durh

and i was dying of heat
and i knew that if i turned the aircon back on
they would switch it off AGAIN!
raaar
so i waited until about like 9:25
and then i looked out of the window
didn't see daddy's car
so i turned on the aircon ((:
and the radio

and then i went back to slumbering
until about now

2006-05-30T19:01:00.000-07:00

i'm happy today ((:
relli happy ((:

and gracelynn did a relli dumb dumb durh-ish thing today
i mean seriously
we were at the bio lab
and then she had to blow into this redish liquid chemical
to make it yellow
carbon dioxide mah

and then i was like "drink it, i dare you to"
and she was all "ok"
so she sucked it up and jiahui was like" i don't think you dare"
so gracelynn basically sucked a little too much
and she drank it

damn siao lah

so i brought her to wash her mouth
now i'm gonna quote
"my mouth feels really hot now"
right

2006-05-29T11:15:00.000-07:00

ok, seriously
i have no idea why everyone is acting like that
complaining about their lives and the world
all of a sudden
it's not like terrorists have attacked or anything
but they will
soon
and absolutely NO ONE is tagging at my blog
i'm kinda worried that i've become a social outcast
hmmm, maybe i have
oh well, at least i have drum lessons to look forward to
here's something that Johnny taught me

TOP TEN REASONS WHY JESUS MIGHT HAVE BEEN A YOUTH WORKER

10. He was upset about having to clean up the church/temple after everyone made a mess of it. (Luke 19:45)

ok, i know i've been very mean
and evil for the past few days
because of the ghost story
but i can't help it!
it's in my blood(:
ok lah, i'll try to be nicer
considering it upset some ppl
but sometimes you just have to question yourself
about what the world is becoming
better? or worse?
i think its definitely becoming worse
ppl get killed on the streets everyday
sometimes innocently
and ppl are dying everyday of diseases
singapore is becoming more open to new ideas
and some ideas are bad, some ideas are good
but then again, that's the economy
and the govt. are just doing wuts best for singapore
today, natalie bought a crumpler
and SHE NEVER BUY FOR ME!!!
but, it was kinda ex also
$158 and $95
depending on what you want
tomorrow is drum lesson :)

for the real thing, click http://www.video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4532245984549289375&q=Curry+And+Rice&time=10000&pl=true

rmb the curry and rice thing i was talking about?
here's the lyrics(sang in the tune of hollaback girl, by gwen stefani):

few times i checked the magazine adds
i even tried in the indian chats
cause i relli want to find the right girl
i want a curry and rice girl
i asked my dad and i asked my mom
put my biodata on shordie dot com
cause they want to find the right girl
they really don't want a white girl

OOOH she's too dull she's too big
OOOH she's to short she's too thin
OOOH she's to small she's too light
OOOH oh my god look she's a white

flipped through the mag
through the county ads
cause i was looking for my future wife
saw an add at the back that i really liked
for a girl that was tall and slim
so i went to the house and to my surprise
the advertisement was a big fat lie
when i saw the girl in front of me
who intended was a her/him

few times i checked in the magazine adds
i even tried in the indian chats
cause i really want to find the right girl
i want a curry and rice girl
i asked my dad and i asked my mom
put my biodata on shordie dot com
cause they really want to find the right girl
they really don't want a white girl

OOOH she's too dull she's too big
OOOH she's too short she's too thin
OOOH she's too small she's too light
OH MY GOD look she's a white

hey what is your digits
what is your screen name
let me add you on friendster too
cause if you are put your picture up
and you know i'll holler at you
if you want to meet
we can go and eat
we will share some lettus and some lettuce
if this doesn't work i'll stop chasing girls
and let my parents choose

few times i checked the magazine adds
i even tried in the indian chats
cause i really want to find the right girl
i want a curry and rice girl
i asked my dad and i asked my mom
put my biodata on shordie dot com
cause they want to find the right girl
they really don't want a white girl

OOOH she's too dull she's too big
OOOH she's too short she's too thin
OOOH she's too small she's too light
OH MY GOD look she's a white!!!

you like my biodata
B-I-O-D-A-T-A
you like my biodata
B-I-O-D-A-T-A

human behaviour
i realised that ppl tend to correct others when they seem wrong
ppl also like to stand up for their loved ones
and ppl ALSO like to do crazy things like taking videos
of "THE END" and "SELF-RESPECT"
haha
in A2, we were all taking videos
i was narrator, debs was camera woman and pearlyn was props woman
and natalie was sound effects
haha, fun fun fun :)
then AFTER A BREAK
here's what the script we did was
pearlyn: scene one take nine, scene one take 23, scene 1 take 54
debbie: 3,2,1
natalie: good morning recruit
me: good morning mam, sergeant,mam
natalie: do you know what we're going to do today?
me: yes mam yes! but i will let you say it mam
natalie: thank you. we are gng to bethany childcare centre!(draws a cross on the screen)
that is bethany childcare, and we are here. we are gng to walk all the way there. do you know wut we are going to teach them there?
me: YES MAM! we are gng to teach them...
we both pull the screen up: SOME SELF-RESPECT
natalie: yes!
me: lets walk there mam, walk from the circle to the cross
we both walk there
both: children, do you know wut we're gonna learn today?
children: NO!
both: we're gonna teach you some self-respect!
here's an example
debbie zooms into comic that delane drew
both: du du du du du du du du, CAN'T TOUCH THAT du du du du du du du du CAN'T TOUCH THAT
me: one day, emily was waiting at the bus stop for a bus.... durh, then there was a sick perveted freak that was wearing a baseball cap which you cannot see, came over and started squeezing her tits
natalie: squeeze squeeze!
me: and then emioly slapped him... PIAK! and she killed him. the bus came, and emily went up the bus, and the pervert died
me: what's the moral of the story?
both: we should learn some SELF RESPECT!!
HAHAHAHAH the end
if you wanna see the actual thing, find debbie, grab her phone and search for it in her "videos"
there's this new club, which is very nice
its called the MOTOROLA CLUB!!!
