Mixed emotions and feelings, ugh. Should I be sad? There's a ton of reasons to feel differently. But what if parents fight and scared their children? Shouted and screamed terribly that could be heard from anywhere? I love them as much as they do, but why?

Last day of school for me. Among my sister's I'm the last one who had the official last day of school. Darn. Let's not talk about today as it's frightening and I don't wanna remember today. 20th November 2009, isaruinedday.
Rewind back to 19th, I love that day. First period, Math Test. Till now, I can't understand why we still have to do it although it's then last day of school for most of us. Teachers nowadays, tsk.
Anyway, yesterday, had a sort of party. Teacher ordered for us Macs while Connail and Aloysious bought all the stuffs. It was okay. At least we had Macs.
Went all the way to Compass Point to get a pants. We can't find white pants. I mean we can but I don't like it cos it's not Skinnies. I like using Skinnies because I'm short, so when I use it, I'll look a bit taller. But in the end, we couldn't find so we bought Jeans. Ahh.
Huiwen & I are hosting a contest but in need of Sponsors. So if you're interested, do tag me at my tag board :)
I NEED A BREAK.
Parents problems, siblings conflicts, friend misunderstandings, homeworks problem, endless stress, competitions, and what else do you want to add on? I'm your perfect person to be stressed on.
Uh, okay, fine, I'll heed the Principal's advice, I'll plan a time table. Here is it:
PS: I can't upload it now, maybe sometime :P

Was browsing at STOMP.COM.SG just now, and overcome a page titled: Can your fingers really reveal if you're better in math or language?
Ok, so it comes to my interest and continue reading it.
Can the relative length of your index and fourth fingers really reveal what you're good at? That's what STOMPer Geomancer wonders after reading a newspaper article that made the claim.
In the article, the writer claims that people with longer ring fingers are better at Mathematics while those with longer index fingers are more artsy.
A report the sender found on the internet also states that finger length could reflect which part of the brain is more developed, and all this is determined by the levels of testosterone and oestrogen (male and female sex hormones respectively) that one is exposed to as a baby.
In an email, Geomancer says:
"A local Chinese daily published a report which claims that 'people whose ring finger is longer than the index finger are more proficient in Math and those whose index finger is longer are proficient in the liberal arts'.
"According to writer Hua Jing Jing, a Taiwan TV station carried out a survey of those who are proficient in Math, and found that 23 out of 29 have ring fingers longer than the index fingers. The writer also claims that in NUS High School of Math and Science, 17 out of 20 students have ring fingers longer than their index fingers.
"I took this picture of a Sec 4 student and his ring finger is longer than his index finger.
"He told me that he has been representing the school in the Math Olympiad from Primary 3 to Sec 4. Invariably the Math teacher has chosen him for Math competitions as he is the best in the class.
"I saw another online report by psychologist Mark Brosnan of the University of Bath which found that students with longer ring fingers than index fingers scored better in math tests than in literacy and or verbal tests.
"Students with longer index fingers, on the other hand, fared better in language and literacy than math.
"The more testosterone a baby is exposed to, the longer his ring finger will be. The greater is his exposure to oestrogen, the longer his index finger is.
"The length of the finger actually indicates which part of the brain is more developed.
"Since testosterone promotes the development of the brain that is responsible for math and spatial skills, a longer ring finger indicates better numerical abilities.
"Conversely, exposure to oestrogen contributes to the growth of the part of the brain linked to literacy skills, so a longer index finger means more developed reading, writing and verbal proficiency."
So, researched about it and i think it's quite true. Many people says so. My ring finger is longer than my index finger, so i'm better in Math than Arts. I don't mean GOOD in Math, it's COMPARED to Arts/Langaguage, and yeap, my Arts are lousy. (I use Arts in the term of Dancing, Painting, etc)
