About me
Real life
I am a P6 GEPer in Singapore, and am also a third speaker on the Nanyang Primary School 2007 debate team. WE ROCK~ My birthday is on 29 August 1996. This year is my PSLE year.
Personality
I dislike putting on a facade and generally speak my mind, without going out of my way to be diplomatic, "nice" or inoffensive. In fact, I don't get offended. A rising fury deep within me alerts me to the fact that your statement is wrong. That's what I call my inner third speaker, rebutting everything in its way.
I am sarcastic both online and offline. It earned me praise for my performance as third speaker.
Miscellaneous
I am synesthetic, with grapheme-color synesthesia specifically, and have absolute pitch. I can also fake crying pretty well, except that I can't force actual tears, but the sobbing sounds and the tearful voice are rather realistic. This comes in handy for dealing with hypersensitive people who cry at the slightest perceived insults. *sobs* Ohh, you poor little thing! Random Friend Who Knows Best Says: 'her crying is actually very fake'
Guidelines
- If I make typos, feel free to correct them. They spoil the colour scheme of the word anyway, so I'll probably spot them, but if I don't, don't worry that I'll be offended at somebody editing my messages.
- You can edit my userpage, from correcting typos to changing the font. Just don't add any content you're not sure if I'll want, any personal information and/or anything that isn't true. Oh, and please don't change the font colour.
- Please don't type things in many different colours. The colours will almost always be wrong. Please don't confuse me.

Debate
All these quotes are from 2007 unless otherwise specified.
EVERYONE on opposition, including me, all at once: "Point of information, ma'am/sir!"
(when debating about sex education, and the other side had just advanced a preposterous argument about pornography in the curriculum) "I would sincerely like to know, what kind of government puts pornography in the curriculum?!"
(when debating about singing the national anthem and saying the pledge every morning - we had argued that most students don't fully comprehend the anthem and pledge anyway, and the other side had actually said that singing the anthem and saying the pledge combats terrorism) "Are you trying to say that singing a regurgitated, memorised song and saying a bunch of meaningless words every morning that you don't even understand helps combat terrorism? Wow. I didn't know that."
"In conclusion, the proposition is seriously psychologically myopic and has to get their inner eyes checked. *triumphantly* I rest my case!" ~2008
GEP, my pet subject
"I refuse to believe that putting students in a system that by its very setup works against them is somehow less elitist than helping them develop to their full potential!" (in my Social Studies portfolio, about the GEP - referring to the issue of elitism surrounding the GEP) ~2008
"The scheme to integrate GEPers and mainstreamers exacerbates elitism!" ~2007 - present
"Since when is expanding the elite a valid way to combat elitism?" (since the scheme only affects the top mainstreamers anyway) ~ 2007 - present

"Does Times Bookstore stock the latest edition of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations? I think in a new section titled 'Stupid Insults', there's a new quote, 'Oh, look! Someone's skirt is black and dirty!'" (when a mainstreamer had insulted us by saying just that, AND the f-word)
"When were brainless one-celled organisms introduced into our group?"
"Do the words 'sit down' have any meaning to you, or did you pass notes during your P1 English lessons?"
"Is it your mission in life to form a human roadblock at the only passageway through which I can pass at the moment?"
