My Weirdest Outing

2009-08-31T21:28:00.000+08:00

Yesterday I had the weirdest outing ever.

My morning started with tuition at 11.30am. It was pretty unprepared because I was out the whole day and night on Saturday. Anyway, tuition ended at 1pm. So I went to Dhoby, was 10minutes late, and the only person who was there was Yap. ._.

Oh it was a Hecate outing, yep, the CSC orientation group. So we met the others later and then we got tickets to watch Bruno. Which is a fantastic show. You're totally advised to watch it if

1. you're Gabriel or
2. you're blind or
3. you're retarded AND blind or
4. you're my enemy

So, catch it before it's out of cinema.

Anyway, it makes perfect sense for us to watch Bruno... right? EXCEPT we had to pay for our tickets, which then makes us either Gabriel, blind, or retarded and blind. I think we were retarded. WHY DID WE WATCH BRUNO FOR OHMYGUANYINGMA HOLY SHINY GLOVES SAKE. Bruno's a show meant for extreme traumatizing of kids like us so we'll engage in activities out of the world later on (you'll see).

After 80minutes of pure horror, and 'what the fuck was that?' we left the cinema feeling truly traumatized. (It's R21 for a reason. Oh, I sneaked in by the way, if you're wondering.) Feeling really down and depressed, Ian and Karhian left the pack (of wolves Hecate haha!) to head home to heal their demolished souls. The rest of us (Steph, Russel, Yaokun, Yap and I) decided we needed something warm and happy to change our emo nemo views of the world.

So we headed to the youtiao/tauhuey place near the nice chicken rice along Selegie Road. Then we had youtiao/tauhuey and we felt a little happier because the world didn't feel like such a sad place to exist in afterall. But we couldn't help making reference to the holy B movie once in awhile. Which is really really disturbing to the max.

Time then was about 5.30pm and we were too full to have dinner. So we walked to Bugis where we decided we need to pray. So we went to the Chinese temple on Si Ma Lu to pray. NO I'M NOT KIDDING. I've pictures, except Steph hasn't uploaded them yet. The 5 of us really did go pray in the Chinese temple in a bid to make ourselves feel less sinful. So we lighted three joss sticks each and prayed to atone for our treacherous sin of watching Bruno.

In case you're wondering what Bruno is all about, like why will a movie depress us that much? I'm telling you, DON'T WONDER. Don't even think about the word Bruno because the word itself is poisonous. Alright alright, it's just gay porn. Bruno (main guy) is gay. Like super gay, real gay kind of gay. And it's not funny. Some parts are, but most of the parts are just wtf and makes you want to dig your eyeballs out to throw at the screen. On second thoughts, maybe not, I won't want my eyes so near him ewwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Alright, back to our outing. After going to pray at Si Ma Lu, we walked to Bras Basah Complex Popular where we started reading on a numerology book written by some weird woman. So we stayed there counting our life path numbers and it's stupid hilarious to the max because according to the book, I'm as humanitarian as Mother Theresa and Russel is a polygamist. HAHAHA. What's funnier is we stayed there reading the book for an hour. =0

And if the day wasn't weird enough, the 5 of us roamed to Arab Street. We wanted to have dinner at this place on Haji Lane but that place wasn't open. So we roamed and roamed till we found an affordable nice-looking place. Settled down and what! It's Middle Eastern food. LOLOL! Okayyyyyyy so we ordered... stuff. I can't remember the names, at all. And Russel's mint tea is so Colgate it's like they make juice out of toothpaste. Gross, I know. The food was actually okay (amazed!)and I found out Arabs aren't exactly indians. LOL.

Seriously, first traumatizing movie, first visit to temple in Si Ma Lu, WITH FRIENDS SOMEMORE, first middle eastern dinner, and to end the night, we visited the statues somewhere in that vicinity. Plato really looked like Jesus in the dark. Alright no offense, casual remark about the statues nia.

That's it. Beat that!

Because Blogger Thrashed My Post

2009-08-28T22:17:00.000+08:00

My entry disappeared. Blogger sucks like straws.

It wasn't a really long entry but long enough. So here are the key points:

1. Time is flying so fast I can't even finish this sente---

2. It's like Monday, Tuesd--- Friday liao. The days passed super fast.

3. School's been pretty alright, okay, snow problem!

4. I'm a Subway fan.

5. Subway should have some loyalty program, like you know, get 10 subs to get a Subway badge or something.

Uh huh uh huh!

The Coldest Story Ever Told

2009-08-24T23:16:00.000+08:00

It's getting late but I MUST blog about this because it's so blog-worthy and I'm afraid I'll forget to blog about it later.

The Worst Joke I've Ever Heard

Qn: What did the snowman say when the old lady thanked him for helping her cross the road?

Before I tell you the answer, let's analyse the question.

FIRSTLY, a snowman cannot help an old lady cross the road because 1. he doesn't have legs and 2. snowmen don't cross roads and 3. old ladies will scream when a snowman opens his mouth to offer his help. Alright, let's just all imagine that this is an imaginary scene where there are talking snowmen who can help old ladies cross roads, you know, like in Enid Blyton's stories. But still, the scenario doesn't make sense, does it.

SECONDLY, the question is so random. Why will the snowman be around when an old lady wants to cross the road. Where there's snowman, there should be snow. Where there's snow, there should be snow on roads. Where there is snow on roads, car shouldn't be able to drive on roads. Where there are no cars, old ladies can walk perfectly fine without being knocked over. Hence there shouldn't be any need to help old ladies cross roads.

THIRDLY, what's with this generalization that old ladies can't cross roads on their own? They can walk perfectly fine even if they're a little old. Whatever makes you think snowmen can cross roads better than old ladies do? AGEISM!

Alright, are you ready for the mighty answer?

Ans: Snow problem.

Get the joke? You know, like, no problem? Snow problem sounds a tinny weeny bit like no problem?

Alright, I leave you to recover from this traumatizing 'joke'. I'm sorry I've to inflict you this pain. I can't take it alone, got to share the burden.

PRISCILLA please tell me Linkin Park joke is funnier than this because Yap insists his Snow Problem joke is better. What the muddy marshmellows, ANYONE can tell this joke is some level 0.5 joke please. Tsktsktsktsk.

Alright, I'm done. Byebye!

Of Aurelio and Clamshells

2009-08-23T12:42:00.002+08:00

We hold hands across the table. The conversation is intense, and perhaps the woman two tables over believes we are lovers. I sip lemonade through a straw as the cadence of your words wafts around us like glacial breezes in a heat wave.

*

It's Sunday, and it's 28hours before meeting Aurelio. Yep, Yap and I will be meeting guy selling Aurelio tomorrow and I hope everything goes well because I love the phone much much!

Anyway, I was reading my January entries just now. It's a long story as to why I was reading Jan entries but anyway and I found this.

"
2009 New Year resolutions.

1. TO BE spiritually healthy. That includes:

No more gambling. OHMYGUANYINGMA I DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT.
Never to take up smoking/drinking so much I get drunk.

Like, don't you think it's so easy to take on the wrong path at this age? So many people waste themselves away. Some are friends, some are acquaintances, and sometimes looking at them makes me really afraid I'll become them just to fit in.

But then again, gambling isn't that bad... is it? Meh. Okay, I'm quitting gambling. I'll only play no-money Mahjong from now onwards. Or maybe from after CNY onwards. :)

2. TO BE physically healthy. That includes:

Exercising.
Less junk food. Yong tau foo ftw.
More veges (difficulty 4.5 stars).
Drink more water per day.

3. TO BE happier. 2008 was such a depressing year, with Ananas haunting us every other day in school. Teachers kept going on and on about how seniors regretted not working hard during their term, or how if we don't start now, we'll never start (that's really true), or how it's never too late to start, or so on. I hope 2009 will be happier ~~even without the big C called Concession~~. I will also:

Continue keeping in contact with close friends. Like Sokmui/Priscilla/Naomi and Mel/Yixin/Sheralyn and MY ABT :D and yadah yadah. The NJ people helped make my life in NJ more bearable. (How else can I survive Chemistry/Econs without Bugs doodling with me?)
Be nicer (I'm already nice) to Minghan, and make him less 重色轻友 so Laimeng will stop complaining about him.
Watch more Spongebob.
Regret less.
Spend more time with my family.

4. TO BE more enriched. Ohyes, I want to take up classes if I have the time and moolah to. Probably after I stop work in like June/July. And before I start classes in uni (hopefully). Or while I'm at uni. Take up extra classes like:

An instrument. Probably a harmonica. Or a flute (thinks of conversation last night with Pris and gang... Okay maybe not.)
Yoga/Calligraphy.
Art classes HAHA.

"

Haha, I think I'm failing utterly in my new year resolutions made some 8 months ago. Some things already don't apply anymore, anyway. But no more gambling is really funny. I wonder what made me say that. I miss yong tau foo though. There's something about Deck's yong tau foo, it's not superb but I keep feeling like eating it. =0

I should get back to having regular meals because I keep getting hungry at the weirdest times. (4am, hungry, breakfast; 3pm, hungry, lunch; 9pm, hungry, no food to eat, skip dinner; 12am, too hungry, maggie) My mum keeps saying, at this rate, I'll have more than 30 health problems when I grow old. Except she's not bothered by it because in her exact same words "ni hai nian qing". Ohkay lor, aha.

I'm gonna bathe and get some tutorials done. I'm an aspiring mugger (said since 2005). But I'm hating Linguistics more and more, not just because the stuff's really technical and doesn't make sense to me, but more because I really hate the clamshell lecturer because nothing can be done about my Friday tutorial slot. I know I shouldn't blame her, but there's no one else I can blame. And being angsty kid, I blame the teacher. So, damn you clamshell Linguistics department for giving me a Friday 3-4pm tutorial slot when Friday is supposed to be my free day. What crayfish.

Seriously, I can go on ranting about the Friday tutorial slot forever. Why will they schedule a Friday 3-4pm timeslot? The fact that it has the most number of vacancies (15 slots left after two rounds of balloting, what?) goes to show not many people want it right. Won't it make better sense to reschedule the whole class instead of telling us how much they sympathise our situation (I really do sympathise your situation. However, please understand that there's no crayfish we can cook, because our department is pretty screwed and I can't be bothered to spend more time trying to make your life work when I can better spend time watching Transformers, Garfield Edition. Nevermind there's no Garfield Edition in Transformers, that's the whole point, don't you see, we'll rather do things that don't matter.)

Alright, that's just rant. Skip that. The lecturer's doing much by emailing us stuffs to answer nerds' questions. Not that I read them, but spare her the credit since at least she bothers, or looks like she bothers, okay?

Sian. The more I think of it, the more sian I become. Ohwells, at least there's Aurelio to cheer me up tomorrow! Bling ftw!

Alright, bathe and get tutorials done. I'll mug till I become root beer (stupid old joke). Byebye!

This sucks

2009-08-21T14:02:00.000+08:00

I AM SUPER SIAN DIAO.

You know my grand timetable. The perfect one I planned has Fridays free. BUT NO. CORS gave me a Friday 3pm to 4pm slot. YES. 3-4pm on a FRIDAY. EVERY WEEK. That's so oaiyrafa I feel like swallowing tables. You know those NJ square gray tables, YES those that I felt like chewing during Econs paper, I feel like that now.

And what's more table-swallowing is because it's so oaiyrafa, Yap and I decided to go to school early this morning to try manual registration, which is kind of like appealing. And YES, TODAY IS A FRIDAY, aka FRIDAY OF NO LESSONS. We went specially to that depressing place somewhere between Buona Vista and Clementi to find some Japanese woman in some super deserted corner of the school on some LEVEL 6 of AS5 just to tell her our reasons why we will really hate a Friday 3-4pm slot. BUT NO, she wasn't even around.

And it's not like we dropped by at some random time, it was THE manual registration timeslot. Turns out she was giving a lecture at some JC. So we wrote her a note (AFTER WAITING FOR ONE HOUR) and then we emailed her. And her reply was GREAT NEWS, she can swap us to tutorial slot DW18. And what's DW18, 3-4pm on Friday of course!

WHAT. WHAT. IS. THIS. (chews gray tables)

Can you imagine going to school for ONE HOUR every Friday. At 3pm. WHAT. IS. THIS.

D:

If you've FASS friends taking English, please get them to swap tutorial with me. Because that's what the lecturer says in her mail, to find someone to swap tutorial with you. WHAT. BARNEY. ELMO. BIGBIRD. IS. THIS.

Lucky you mel, I'm happy for you. D:

Emo weather. Fridays suck. D: D:

Aurelio

2009-08-18T19:21:00.000+08:00

Every Tuesday is a Tuesday worth rejoicing because

1.
It's TUESDAY. And you know what that means! It's half-priced Gelare waffles day! It's the day kids in town run round in pastel coloured balloons because it's waffles day! :D

2.
There's actually only one reason.

HOWEVER, ever since school started, Tuesdays are extremely extreme extremely depressing because there's only one lecture today from 10am to 12pm and the temptation to pon it is so immense. I wouldn't mind if the subject isn't boring. But it is. MEH.

I think I lost my funny gene. I used to be really really funny. But now I'm just really funny. I need to find the other really.

*

DID I TELL YOU. I want to get Aurelio, which is the motorola v8 lux phone. Read more about it here. PRETTY ISN'T IT. It costs 800$ no contract in Singtel shops but Yap found someone selling on ebay for $320. So I want to get it and we're supposed to meet the seller on Monday but he suddenly has something on and has to travel overseas and will be back in 3-5days. I really hope the seller doesn't just disappear. I already gave the phone a name! :(

That's all, I'll update more when there's wireless on Fridayyyy! :) Byebye.

Like A Sleeping Bag

2009-08-11T22:48:00.000+08:00

Let's be cheem.

Today is Day one of yoohoo uni life. It's as exciting as an egg that's excited. Nevermind eggs aren't excited, stop being so literal. FIGURATIVE DUDE, FIGURATIVE. Last night I slept like a sleeping bag (HEEHEE!) because I was afraid I couldn't wake up in time this morning plus I was really sleepy, like a sleeping bag.

So, this morning I woke up as happy as Subway and went to school. I reached school as early as an early excited egg (alliteration omg!) so Ultraman and I had bravo breakfast at the deck. We had tasteless tehbing which was duper depressing. Then we attended Lecture Linguistics at LT11 and the Lecturer is Looney. LOL. The way she talks is funny and Bugs, I wish you were here to laugh with me.

Good thing though, at least we won't feel sleepy during her lectures, youknow, sleepy like sleeping bags.

After lecture, I had happy Subway for lunch and then I went town to roam around aimlessly like a hunter without a prey. I'm sorry for all the lousy metaphors. It's just, somebody told me a lousy metaphor like "sleep like a sleeping bag" that got stuck in my head till now. HAHA.

Then I came home and started printing notes using a printer that takes in 2, 3 or 4 pieces of papers at one go. It usually works fine, maybe it ain't in a good mood today. Monday blues. OH. Tuesday blues. I better tell it a joke to cheer it up.

I. Want. To. Play. Badminton.

Byebye.

A Supernatural Encounter

2009-08-10T15:38:00.000+08:00

Yap: Have you ever cried because the silence is too deafening?
MG: Like what?
Yap: I remember when I was young, I cry when the silence is too much to take.
MG: Uh huh.
Yap: And I remember clearly I saw Ultraman.
MG: You what?
Yap: I saw Ultraman.
MG: ...... YOU WHAT?
Yap: I saw Ultraman, so I cried.
MG: Why are you scared of Ultraman? HAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm going for chalet tomorrow. Yay.

Where 7months Went

2009-08-01T10:02:00.000+08:00

It's August, omgomgomgomg it's August. Where has the last 7months gone.

Detailed analysis of where the last 7months gone so I won't think I wasted that much time doing nothing about my new year resolutions (gasp!)

1. My last 7months were largely dedicated to Starhub. I can't say it's some grand work experience, but I never regretted it. Compared to others I know/I heard, I think I've got a pretty good job. Plus, maybe the nth time I'm saying it, I've got some super adorable colleagues that make work Not a chore at all! :D :D So, these 7months at Starhub, I learned pretty much about... Microsoft Excel LOL. Uh. What else? I learned you should look at the boss when he speaks to you so he won't say "I feel like strangling you". Aha.

Seriously, I felt working at Starhub was more of fun than real learning experience. There's nothing much to learn, okay other than provisioning forms, which is brain-dead anyway. If it's something you can pick up in 2 days, it's easy. Yep.

2. There wasn't that much of catching up with friends, was there? Other than Priscilla/Sokmui/Naomi who I meet pretty frequently. Sidetrack, whatever happened to our regular jogging sessions? Meh, it kind of stopped after I moved office to Paya Lebar in June. Aha. Okay I feel super lazy to jog. Do you people want to play badminton? :) Next week perhaps? OH, you guys have 0week. Awwwww. (gloats)

Alright, in the last 7months, I've also been catching up with Mel/Bugs pretty much too. :) A Stroll In NUS went pretty badly because the weather was oaiyrafa aha. Australia trip ftw!

I miss ABT. I miss Fiona. The alumni BBQ was the last time I saw them? Aha. Jaslyn what happens to our K session (with lao ren in the place that looks like a toilet AHA). I guess it's kind of hard to meet up with them, the guys especially, since they aren't civilians most of the time. And the times when they are, they are always talking about the times they are not (army talk is super annoying, I don't get why they like talking about something they dread so much). I miss them anyway (makes mental note to plan/get someone to plan a gathering). Fiona, please tell me when your prelims end and stop failing Econs you headland.

Also appearing in the last 7months quite frequently are Hanhui and Aaron. They're leading me astray. Aaron made me swear the first time in more than 7months, with his Home, is where the heart belongs (vegan sincere stupid face). Idiot.

3. In the last month especially, I've been meeting a group of people whom I know through the CSC camp. We're called Hecate (group name), and it's been really fun knowing them.

And, if you haven't already known through Facebook, I've recently gotten attached.

That's us. His name is Ziwei and we met at CSC camp. It's actually Zi3 Wei4 but pronounced any other way it sounds really gay. So he goes by the name Yap, which is his surname. He's nice and racist, perfect! :)

4. I think I'm pretty ready for school. I felt like I've rested enough (which can't be true, I've only stopped work for what, two weeks?). Maybe it's because work was never really tiring, fun can't be tiring! :D Plus I've been going out pretty much everyday. By the way, Hangover is (Y). Go watch, super funny! :D

Alright, this must be the longest entry I've had in a long time. I'll blog more frequently now that I've got Suzy okay? :) But I've got to get some router so that I can surf wireless at home. Meh.

Ten ten ten ten ten

2009-07-30T17:57:00.000+08:00

1.
Yes! I've got a new babe called Suzy. Suzy's white and super pretty. She's Fujitsu (hence Suzy haha) and she's pretty pretty pretty. Aha and she has Solid Specs (no I don't know anything about those but bro says it's Solid Specs so it's Solid Specs). :D

2.
But, I've to go get some router so that I can surf wireless at home. I didn't know there are different types of routers lol.

3.
I've yet to do something about Monica's problem flash. (Monica's my Olympus, if you're wondering) Noooo stop procrastinating Meigui, before the warranty runs out lol!

4.
Speaking of procrastinating, remember the other day I packed Tably (Tably's my table, LOL I should stop naming things), I talked about clearing the CSC goodie bag? Last night I took out a pack of apple juice from the fridge which was given out during CSC camp. It's expired a month ago and I drank it. :O :O Nehhhh kidding, of course I checked the expiry before drinking.

5.
Speaking of apples, Priscilla must be at 0week now. Ohno, no link! LOL. Uhhh. Apples, so Snow White, so Priscilla, because Priscilla calls herself Snow White. LOL. Anyway, I wonder how's 0week.

6.
Speaking of 0week, nah I'm not going 0week because it's dreadfulong plus extremelazy. I'm going for Hecate chalet though, next Monday to Wednesday whee! :D

7.
Blogger's still not working perfect on my com. Maybe it'll do fine on Suzyyyy. :)

It's Thursday and man time is flying like free. Very soon school's starting and :O aren't you excited about school reopening? I am! Aha. Alright, every 10 people I ask, about 9.85 tell me they are dreading school reopen. Nevermind there cannot be 0.85 person, STOP SCRUTINIZING EVERYTHING I SAY. My point is, I miss school. Alright I don't miss school, but I miss studying. Lol, why does it sound so funny coming from me. Ohwell.

9.
I'm sleeping alot. Like 7pm to 10.30am kind of sleeping hours.

10.
Abrupt end, byebye!

Matric?

2009-07-28T18:10:00.000+08:00

School's starting in a week plus time. I don't know if that's all there is to it. Matriculation's tomorrow. A part of me doesn't want to go; I don't really want to be labeled an university student so soon. Another part can't wait for school to start, can't wait for lecture and lecture notes (yes I've a fetish for new crisp lecture notes like Melissa does, warped I know) and lectures and paying and not paying attention during lectures, on off on off.

I miss morning assemblies. I KNOW, I'm the one complaining about morning assemblies every morning, saying there's always National Day to sing the anthem, I know I know. I'm a very difficult person to please.

By the way, Priscilla, I've kind of decided on the modules to take for Sem 1. I'm taking all exposure modules, Econs, Lit, New Media, Southeast Asian studies and Japanese Studies. I've planned the timetable even. And am pretty happy with it (short Thursday and free Friday yo).

Forgot I'm halfway through blogging again, teehee!

Older and... wiser?

2009-07-24T17:40:00.003+08:00

Have you not realised, that we get scared more often as we grow older. That there are more things we are afraid will happen now, as if they couldn't have happened before. There are more steps we do not dare to take, more consequences, more harm to fend against.

For some reason, I think we aren't as brave as before. Less careless, you say, but why so serious, where's the fun if everything has to be thought through before?

On a Thursday (week's ending, again!)

2009-07-23T11:05:00.002+08:00

Hi syndicate74, this is the 500th post.

I'm home alone because brother, mother and father went on a 5days Thailand trip since yesterday. Sisters are out to work and I'm home alone alone alone. These 5days, I won't have hot water to make myself tea. These 5days, I won't have breakfast ready for me when I wake up. I miss my parents lots lots.

Supposed to be out today watching Harry Potter with Aaron, but decided to meet him together with gay Hanhui tomorrow night. Anyway, I watched Harry Potter yesterday, and it's (N) because I don't know, they added in chicflic stuff that's very not Harry Potterish. But still, had a fun day yesterday. ♥

This morning I woke up feeling hangoverish, when I didn't touch alcohol yesterday. Mcflurry/Aston's potato salad/Aston's fries/Aston's iced lemon tea/Famous Amos cookies/mineral water can't contain alcohol, right. Must be Mcflurry. :O Or maybe it's the nightmares. I've got nightmares two nights in a row. D:

It's August soon. Apparently there's lots to do for uni admission but I'm super sian diao. There's some talk next Monday, is it? Can pon? And online registration? MEH.

Anywayy, I'm getting myself a Fujitsu lifebook because 1. brother says Fujitsu is good, 2. brother says lifebook is pretty. Anyone wants to go Funan/Sim Lim? I tried Best Denki (Bishan) but they say they don't carry Fujitsu anymore. D: Maybe I should call the other Best Denkis to ask.

I've the whole Thursday to pack Tably and like maybe, unpack the CSC goodie bag LOL. But zzz, inertia inertia...

Nobody's free to Mahjong today. D:

Byebye!

Paragraphing can't work!

2009-07-22T08:34:00.006+08:00

It's 8.30am, I woke up to watch the eclipse telecast on teevee. But nothing's happened for a long time, and it's all China Chinese talking non-stop so I got annoyed because I'm racist and stopped watching.

Anyway, hello. I haven't blogged for the past 11 days because Blogger New Post page doesn't work on my com, Mozilla or IE same. Why arh, does it work okay on yours?

Anyway anyway, I stopped my 7months work experience at Starhub last Friday. I felt as mixed as a mixer (LOL vegan lame) because I'm happy work has ended and I've a few weeks of (well-deserved) rest to myself. But I felt awwwwww sad because my colleagues are adorable people and I swear I almost teared when Michelle hugged me and said All the best, because I knew she meant it and I could feel love overflowing everywhere. LOL okay, sorry.

Last Friday ended off with dinner at Chomp Chomp (love the chicken wings omg!) with Ops Support people and ice cream at Ice3 afterwhich. :)

Then on Saturday, there was Project Can! We went round Woodlands collecting canned food and dried rations and met an emo guy who unmade my day. He was so emo I felt emo looking at him emo. ._. He opened the door to me and I cheerily asked for canned food/dried rations that he may be able to donate for the needy people living in Woodlands. He gave me a stunned look, looked around his (empty) house, looked back at me, stunned, and told me in a voice so soft it's heartbreaking, wo ye xu yao bang zhu. Emo to the max. D:

Nevertheless, can collect was fun! :) And then it was sorting the cans out at some common area near station. Man, I swear I've never seen so many cans of sardines in my life. I was packing sardines (how nice, packed like sardines!) for a couple of hours and soon I'm responding to the word Sardine.

"Sardines?"
"Yep! Put here..."

Saturday ended at around 11 and I was vegan tired when I reached home. Alright, I can't complain (thinks about all those living in the east, you the man!).

On Sunday... I can't remember what happened on Sunday already. Uh... oh. Hecate went support Yvonne in her gigs in town. Woo. Photos/Videos on facebook, her singing is oaiyrafa (don't you miss this word!) powerful. Then it was Ballet Under the Stars 09 with Sokmui/Naomi/Priscilla. This year's pre-show was pretty weird, the performances by NUS were so weird they remind me of Weisiang. EH Weird and Weisiang has the same first three letters. LOL. Okay, anyway, we left early because Priscilla got to go. Ballet Under the Stars seem to get worse over the years. D:

On Mondayyyyy, Hecate went K at Chinatown, Calcutta. LOL. Is that taxi song some Kbox must sing song nowadays, why so many people singing it? Anyway, day was hilarious because of vegan Yap who's super funny singing taxidriverman and J-J-Jaded. HAHA. Photos/Videos (soon!) are up on Facebook too! :)

You see how horrible Facebook is, I can't blog an entry without making reference to it. If one day Facebook crashes and disappears, we'll all turn into blood-thirsty zombies roaming the streets with balloons. AHA.

I really want to post some photos but Blogger is being vegan. I don't even know if I can post this post properly.

On a entirely random note, I want to get a Fujitsu lifebook but the only place that sells them is Sim Lim/Funan? Know of any other nearer places I can get it from? OR does anyone want to go Sim Lim/Funan? Go with me can, I don't know how to get to those two places.

Oh I was recounting my days. AIYAH. In conclusion, I've been going out for the past few days since I ended work AND I haven't found time to youknow, pack Tably. Hence the CSC Camp goodie bag is still there, lol, together with 7000 other things that can potentially flood a table. MEH.

Hohkay, I've got a casual meetup/date later. Mcflurry yayyyyyyyyyyyy! :D Byebye!

Chee Cheong Fun

2009-07-11T10:42:00.002+08:00

Yesterday during work I saw a MOL application form, the customer's name is Chee Cheong Fun. Teehee.

Ohgay, it's a Saturday and there are 3000 things to do by last Saturday but I haven't done them yet. The 3000 things include:

1. Unpack the goodie bag that was given out during CSC camp (which ended exactly one week ago).

2. Pack Tably, that's dying due to weight of ______, I'VE NO IDEA WHY MY TABLE IS MESSY WHEN I ALREADY THREW AWAY ALL THE NOTES. :O

3. Write messages for Hecate people on paper given out to us last Hecate outing. I've to do it by today today today because I'm meeting them tonight tonight tonight. MEH.

4. Go for fourone outing, or not? Hanhui Aaron please pick up your phones? Are you two drunk again or what?

5. I keep forgetting that I'm halfway through blogging and start surfing Viwawa.

6. Anyway, nehh not going fourone outing because Hanhui's not going and I'm gay.

and 2994 other things.

MEH.

I'm very sian of blogging. How do some people find the power to blog about what they do/where they go/who they meet/what photos they take everyday? I'll blog when I've something to say ogay, and I don't have anything to say now. TEEHEE.

ABT Alumni BBQ

2009-07-05T16:03:00.005+08:00

Ho right, I'm here after CSC camp. Camp was a blast, except that I thought it's cut short to 3days 2nights instead of the original 4days 3 nights. Turned out it was originally a 5days 4nights camp, so it only got cut short to 4days 3nights. Alright, I bet you don't know what I'm talking about either. The point is, there's no point again.

Anyway anyway, CSC is really fun and ask me more about it if you're into volunteering stuff in NUS. Even so, if you're going NTU or SMU, you can still join NUS CSC, it doesn't matter where you're from, it's the spirit of volunteerism that counts, yaknow.

I know there's the ABT Alumni BBQ that I wanted to blog about, but it felt kind of a long time ago stuff (that was what, more than 7days ago?) so I'll leave it as, lots turned up and it was a great night (I hope!) plus plus plus, coach turned up!

Here's some photos! :)

Jonathan and Jeremy playing cards with Jaslyn and me! By the way, sidetrack abit, why are there so many people in ABT with names starting with "J"? I feel very odd one out you know. Like the four of us playing cards that day, their names all start with J. And my-batch girls that turned up that day were Jaslyn, Jenna, Joan, and me. I think my name should be Jeigui or something.

Or, I can change my name to Jay's girlfriend. That starts with J. :D

Jenna, me and Jaslyn! :D

In case you're wondering why is it so bright and sunny when we're having a BBQ, it's because we wanted to save $15 on delivery so we chose the non-peak time slot, which is 4.10pm. So yea.

Flag was flying by.

First blood!

Hoh-kay, I'm very sick of posting photos. (Especially when everything's on Facebook.)

That's the girls group photo very off-focused because Jeremy Seet doesn't know how to take photos.

Girls proper shot by someone who's not Jeremy Seet! :)

Our batch + coach! :D

The girls + coach! :D

Guys group shot with coach! Love this photo lots, they're all smiling so happily don't you think!

And lastly,

Group photo yo!

Ho ho.

Alright I'm supposed to be out for long-lasted-friendship-dinner with WL/CW. 12 years of friendship yo! Running super late, guess I'll change to meeting venue to Woodlands. After that I'll have second round dinner (lol!) with HECATE!! Which is my group name during the CSC camp. I'll talk more about it another time probably, and inspire you guys to join CSC, because I think it's really worthwhile.

More about camp, and CSC next entry, seeya! :)

precamp!

2009-06-28T23:29:00.003+08:00

It struck me that I have a dead blog. It's not that I don't have the time to update, but there's other things to do online, like Facebook. Facebook is so horrible, it's really so horrible you know. It gets people so dependent on it I think I'll cringe and shiver and back off to some dark creepy corner during my 4days 3nights camp next week because! Because! There'll be no Facebook!

Speaking of the camp, yep I'll be away for the com service camp which I signed up because I want to join com service in uni because I want to build libraries in Laos. Alright, I aren't even sure if com service in NUS does build libraries in Laos but anyway, I signed up already. ._. The camp's from next Tuesday to next Friday and nope, no one I know is going for the camp because it's a very leng men camp compared to others like FASS or union camps. I half-thought maybe they'll cancel it due to poor attendance rate or something. But no leh, it's still on.

But looking at the list of things to bring, I'm regretting abit because in the list is 2 sets of unwanted clothes (clothes you don't mind throwing away) so I've a hunch we're going to get really dirty or something. I don't mind sand, or sea, or detergent, or flour, but.. I mind mud leh.

Ohwell, maybe since it's com service, they're going to collect clothes to give salvation army or something. :D -fingers crossed-

Anyway anyway, I wanted to blog about the ABT Alumni BBQ which took place yesterday (photos are already up on Facebook, see how horrible Facebook is!) but it's getting very late. I'm awake only because I took a nap from 5.30pm to 9.30pm and I woke up hungry. (Sorry Weilong!) Missed dinner and ate some lame seaweed crackers.

So I guess I'll go back to sleep, and tell you more about the BBQ say tomorrow, otherwise it'll be Friday when I come back again!

Byebye! :D

A Cup of Reality

2009-06-20T18:27:00.002+08:00

"Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe." -- Neil Gaiman

While jumping from one site to another today, I came across this.

The Fallen Princesses

"
These new discoveries lead to my fascination with the origins of Fairy tales. I explored the original brothers Grimm's stories and found that they have very dark and sometimes gruesome aspects, many of which were changed by Disney. I began to imagine Disney's perfect Princesses juxtaposed with real issues that were affecting women around me, such as illness, addiction and self-image issues.
" (Dina Goldstein)

All so heartbreaking.

2009-06-17T20:00:00.002+08:00

The horrible tonsillitis is back. It's so horrible I feel like I'm swallowing swords forever. The only you-can't-call-it-good-but-it's-not-so-bad thing is that it's only on one side of the throat and not both, like the last time. Nevertheless, it's cyclohexadine (I keep misspelling it) all over again. And so life sucks, because I bought GU LAO ROU rice this afternoon because I was really hungry, but I couldn't get past the second piece of meat, so I swapped it for a bowl of SUI JIAO TANG, which is just soup and about 8 dumplings. And it felt like forever before I finally finished it.

I'm so miserable. I don't even feel like eating anymore because the pain is Unbearable with a big capital U. :( :(

And I've a hunch I get tonsillitis each time I eat pineapples. The last time I got it, I ate alot of sweet dried pineapples. This time I ate a few pieces of fresh ones (super sweet!) and my throat felt funny after I ate them. Please remind me not to eat pineapples in future because I really hate cyclohexadine (however you spell it!).

I've been falling sick as often as... okay I don't know, it's just very often. And falling sick is annoying ttm because IT'S SO EXPENSIVE. D: D:

And you know what! My birthday wish this year was good health for everybody! Doesn't everybody include me? HUH? HUHHHH?!

Okay zai jian, it's time for the horrible medicine again noooooooooooooooo. D:

A twice-a-week update---

HELLO.

I have nothing to say.

Bye!

Hi Sokmui

2009-06-07T22:20:00.002+08:00

Hi Sokmui,

after much persuasion from my inner self, I seriously don't want to go on a holiday just to do shopping. Because I'll rather do it in Bugis, or Tampines, and I've bought enough clothes these few days, and shoes, and the bag that I want is in Singapore, which is the Adidas one and I believe after looking at it for a month plus, I'll get it by next week.

My idea of a holiday, is really just sun sand sea beach resort coconut trees. There's really not much to do at Tioman, except scuba-diving (which I can't do because I can't swim), but in any case, you see, my point of a holiday is not to do anything. I just want to get some decent sun and wind and fresh air. And although you can say we can just sun sand sea beach resort in Sentosa, I guess a further island that's not Singapore will be less crowded with nicer sand and nicer sea? I don't know.

My point is, if we're just going KL alone, I'm totally not interested at all. ._. Please go ahead without me. :)

oh it doesn't matter

2009-06-06T09:53:00.002+08:00

It's tragic, the way youth is wasted on the young, and wisdom is wasted on the old and dying. In between these phases, there isn't much to speak of, like an insignificant by-passer who may receive a line or two over evening tea, he's quite charming I say, I heard he has a really lovely family...

Funny how some songs remind you of some times, some places, some people. How some days, like today, you get to wish you're younger and older.

How I'll die

2009-06-04T22:45:00.002+08:00

I suspect I'll die of

1. Paper cuts. I get cut by paper as often as meal times. It's an approximate 3 paper cuts a day. And deep or not, they always bleed alot (EH RHYMES!). That's not the point, the point is I don't feel them until I see the blood. Or if the cut is really as deep as Aaron's voice. TEEHEE.

2. Muscle aches. Because I'm a stubborn sorethroat (pathetic alliteration) that likes adding on muscle aches to muscle aches. My stomach's still hurting from the sit-ups, but I like that pain. Alright alright. Nobody dies of muscle aches, I know I KNOW. What makes you think, people die of paper cuts meh? Why never raise your objections earlier?

3. Delusions. I imagine I'm talking to somebody when I'm blogging. Like, are you even listening? Stop playing with your phone and listen to what I've to say won't you? No? Then why should I be talking anymore? Talk to your phone lah!

4. Laughter. Whoever said laughter is the best medicine is an idiot, a loon, a moon, a toon, a fgoon. Nevermind you can't pronounce fgoon, that's not the point! The point is my colleagues at work (duh, then what, colleagues at home?) are so funny I'll die laughing because my abs hurt. Alright then theoretically I'll be dying of muscle aches and not laughter... but well, my point is it hurts to laugh dammit, it hurts to laugh.

5. A total lack of sleep. It's what, 5 minutes to eleven and I'm not already in bed but instead sitting in front of this horrible thing called the computer and typing and blogging about how I suspect I'll die, while hyper-ventilating at the same time? You think that's not severe enough to cause death? You think so? You really think so? Alright then. You win, happy?

And now another minute just passed. What's the world coming to, stop stealing our seconds away from us little black men from Momo, we deserve it since we paid for the buffet (seconds of time, seconds of buffet... get the joke fgoon?)

ALRIGHT. I should try to get some sleep. Did squash make me high, or was it the strawberry ice cream Priscilla? ._. Nevermind. Byebye.

Some updates closer to heart

2009-06-03T20:57:00.002+08:00

1.
I've decided to take up driving. It's not a personal decision. I say it's something my dad expects me to do, and I can't bring myself to tell him I don't want to. It's not as simple as telling him I'll suck in driving because he's always thinking I'm always good in everything, always. And, I can't bring myself to tell him I don't want to, when before I say anything he has already finished telling me about how my other siblings don't want/can't pass driving.

So, I guess I'll do my best, and play along.

Bugs/anyone who's taking up/taken driving, please fill me in with the details? Like how do I even start applying for anything? ._. I guess I'll surf their sites later.

2.
I must sms gillian/chunying about playing squash later. gillian has a cute cat.

3.
Okay I just surfed bbdc.com and enrolled and I don't get it, do I have to go down personally within 5 days after I've signed up online, or what?

-makes mental note to sms Bugs/Felix/Spiky tomorrow.

4.
I'm playing squash with Priscilla/Sokmui/Huizhen/Naomi (?) tomorrow! But the courts booked are from 5pm to 7pm and I end work at what, 6pm. D:

5.
I'm using too many /s. //////////

6. Ah-- this helps alot. Training structure. Thanks WL. BUT THIS doesn't help at all. :C

7.
I was intending to stop working by end of June, but my colleagues have been such adorable people I can't really bring myself to leave that place. I'll really miss the fun (and funnies) I had there.

That said, I really want my well-deserved break before school begins. Afterall, I really swore to mug so hard I become root beer when school starts. When it's down to just ONE subject, I should really kill myself if I decide to give up. (shys away from Chem)

But still, aiyah, I don't know, shall see how it goes when it's end of June. Probably one week of July wouldn't hurt, right?

8.
I've got real muscle aches from the sit-ups on Monday. Priscilla are your abs hurting? Mine's pretty bad, it aches whenever I laugh. But I like muscle aches. :D We must reach our 250 goal someday!

9.
Hello Sokmui, I'm at page 240+ of Revolutionary Road and I feel sad because you told me it's a depressing book. I want to continue reading but I don't want to continue reading. I like Frank.

10.
I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO GET OUT OF SINGAPORE AND BUILD SOME LIBARIES IN SOME VIETNAM OR THAILAND. Ohmyguanyingma, is this how live-deprived working adults feel all the time.

11.
I just contradicted myself. I don't want to work but I want to work.

12.
We live in an extremely confusing world. It's so confusing Confucious thought he created the world. Taha not funny.

13.
I really want to play badminton. It's a burning appetence, yearning, longing, I'm consumed in the illusion of hitting a shuttle with the racket, like piak. OHKAY, the sounding cheem is not working. But I want to play badminton.

Alright, byebye.

The coldest story ever told

2009-05-30T23:38:00.002+08:00

I'm a superstitious person. My day depends on which lift arrives first when I press the button and my decisions lie upon whether the last count of a song is an odd or even number. And it's the same all the same all the same, I can't rid myself of habits as old as these. You're too good to be blamed on superstitions, coincidences, fates, kismet, destinies. They're the same all the same, all the same. Be that as it may, there's something different. I can't say, otherwise it'll stop being different. I'm a superstitious person.

*

I must stop sleeping so late. (returns to own planet)

Vespertine

2009-05-27T18:07:00.002+08:00

It's haunting, your half-cocked smile, the empty road, the smell of rain. It paints a picture surreal, like a sad artist's final work. You reminded me of the four o'clock flower, an individual flower with myriads of rich colours. It's real, but I'd rather believe it's not. Things are better when they aren't true, mirabilis. Let's move on in the painting, till we disappear down that road, into the frames, where nobody can see us no more.

If we have to, we'll be back after five o'clock.

The Sun

2009-05-27T16:36:00.002+08:00

It's 4.35pm on a Wednesday afternoon and the weather is so hot I want to be the Chinese superhero that shot down 9 suns. I can't stand it, why can't that stupid guy shoot down the last sun as well? On second thoughts, that story is so lame I doubt it's real. They probably came up with that story after realising oh, there's a sun in the sky, so some guy must have shot down 9 other suns before. I can also say,

Once upon a time, a really really long time ago, there used to be 786 moons. A guy on Earth was bored so he took out his bow and arrow, and started shooting moons for fun. So he shot down 785 moons and ran out of arrows. Despondent, he cried till his eyeballs fell out. He went blind, and so couldn't look where he was going, hence he stepped on his own eyeballs, slipped and fell and broke his back. Now that he's a Brokeback, some anti-gays-mob came over and clobbered him till his skull broke. With empty eye sockets, a broken back and a broken skull, Guy decides he's too sad a person to continue living. Hence he bite his own tongue till it came off, and swallowed it to choke himself to death. The End.

There! I just created my own folklore. Now you know how come we only have one moon!

Alright, I've been surfing other sites for 2hours now and kind of forgot to blog.

Byebye.

2009-05-24T10:09:00.002+08:00

And now for everything else miscellaneous.

Thanks everyone who helped in one way or another in helping me decide, although ultimately I chose FASS for some unknown reasons like because they got send freshman guide. And my parents, of course, they don't seem to realise NTU exist in Singapore. (Serious, they thought NTU was foreign, and asked me why I apply for foreign university when NTU sent their letter.) And to think my father is a taxi driver, I wonder where he drives to when NTU kids tell him uncle, NTU.

Alright, I guess I'll post some pictures later, taken from Making Popiah Day at Bug's house last week, and the picnic at Marina Barrage yesterday. I'm uploading them now. The uploading is super fast, I'm amazed, 140 images took less than 30secs! (amazed)

Pictures! :D

Popiah making day at Sheralyn's house took place on 15May, that is last Friday. So I left office at 6pm, took 700 to Bukit Panjang and my, her house is so convenient can. It's like 5 minutes away from Bukit Panjang Plaza, and 2 minutes away from the interchange, how cool is that?

Here's a picture of her house, I was waiting for this car of CHINA CHINESE to pass. They were driving past with the windows rolled down and speaking in loud CHINA CHINESE wondering where some place they want to go to is.

Can I digress. I can't stand China Chinese, why is Singapore overflowing with them? It's impossible to take MRT from Woodlands to Dhoby Ghaut without meeting one of them on train, in the same cabin as you, speaking to buddy in loud who-knows-what-they're-shouting-about Chinese. They can't speak softly huh huh huh huh HUH.

Anyway, I reached Bug's house after directions over the phone, and oh! I met Zhihao and Derek there! :D Bugs lives on the 23rd (highest) floor and Mel opened the door and pulled me in eagerly to see a qian nian lao gui, which in our (normal) terms means Bug's very old turtle/tortoise.

View from her house. She has a windy balcony and I wish I've a house like that too. Not too noisy and not too ulu either. Some days I get so annoyed by 901 (feeder bus to my house) because they either take forever to come, or come two at once.

I was very amazed by her clock. It reminds me of Persistence of Memory, aka this.

Anyway, we started making popiahs after Yixin came.

The ingredients!

That's Yixin and Bugs.

My first (inexperienced) attempt at making a popiah.

This is my first (INEXPERIENCED) popiah. I know it's square, stop rubbing it in. It's my first time making a popiah.

My second attempt at making an Artistic Popiah, aka AP. Somehow it turned out looking like squidward. D:

This is how AP eventually looks like. It's thin, and flat, and it's like Bian Piah, instead of Popiah. But Bian Piah sounds really funny.

This is Bugs and her mini Popiah, aka MP. (OMG BUGS YOU ATE A MP!) Okay I should stop cracking jokes like these, sometimes I can't stand myself being so funny. -laughs

Alright, that's about all. Then we sat in Bugs' room and talked for a few hours about nothing in particular. We were trying to plan a picnic (which took place yesterday) but after a few hours the only thing we decided on was the date, and the place. Aha.

Jiahao did you know you entertained us for about 2 hours because we kept talking about your head. Like Landmarking (Meet 2pm at The Head, don't be late!) and things like NUS and University of London having to accept you at the same time (Is that his eye in my lecture hall?) and things like little people swimming in your eyes and playing hide and seek in your hair. Okay I shall be nice since it's Sunday and not joke about your head today. -laughs all the same-

Anyway, picnic yesterday at Marina Barrage turned out pretty well, in fact better than I expected. Pictures! :D

Sandwiches that I made! :D

It was raining super heavily when I left the house. Lucky it rained though, so when we reached there the weather wasn't really that hot (but humid all the same).

Here's Felix who said he zhang da le (grown up) and will not pose for every single photo we take of him anymore. I thought he looked really different though, perhaps because of the cap, and I thought Hongjie brought his friend along when I saw them from far. Ha.

Marcus!

The barrage at perfect weather. It's a really pretty place and I like it alot. I don't mind going there for a picnic again, especially in the evening when it's not so hot.

Pretty skies! :D

Hongjie, Siyuan and Jiaxiang. I think Hongjie and Siyuan had the classic NDP poster feel. It's candid though, I didn't make them smile looking in the distance like that.

Speaking of NDP, please go online and ballot for NDP tickets. If you don't want the tickets, you can always give them to me, I've been wanting to go NDP since forever. You just have to key in your IC No and contact number here.

Alright, back to pictures.

Marc and Felix! They became super tanned.

Cute dog that we spotted! :D

Cute little girl! :D

All botaks! I've no idea what Felix was doing to Marcus too. ._.

Towards the end of the day the sky got darker, beautiful shade isn't it!

Random kids playing around.

Pretty kites in the sky. There were quite a number of Batman kites, they are probably sold there. And we witnessed the fall of Batman a couple of times, haha.

:)

This is a photo of Bugs taking a photo of me taking a photo of her taking a photo of me taking a photo of her taking a photo of me taking a photo of her taking a photo of me taking a photo of her taking a photo of me taking a photo of her taking a photo of me taking a photo of her taking a photo of me taking a photo of her taking a photo of me taking a photo of her taking a photo of me taking a photo of her taking a photo of me taking a photo of her taking a photo of me taking a photo of her taking a photo of me taking a photo of her taking a photo of me taking a photo of her taking a photo of me taking a photo of her taking a photo of me taking a photo of her taking a photo of me taking a photo of her and so on.

Barrage at night.

At 7plus, close to 8pm.

Yixuan finally came when we packed up. Aha then we went to the pavilions where it's brighter to play the cards he took pains to find. We left the place at 10plus after taking a couple of group photos. They are in Bugs's camera though, my battery went flat.

It's so mega far away and the shuttle bus to Marina Bay has already stopped operating. We took some random 400 to some random Shenton Way and then we walked to Tanjong Pagar MRT and took a really long MRT ride home. I reached home at 12+, stupid feeder bus. You know I waited super long for the last bus to come, and then when it finally came, the door was faulty and cannot be opened. So it drove off, the uncle saying he'll drive another bus here. I wondered how he got out of the bus whose door cannot be opened. ._.

Alright, that's all. I'll go post the uni thing now. Jogging later at Tampines with Pris and Naomi! :)

Random points

2009-05-20T20:45:00.002+08:00

It's almost 9pm and I'm sleepy, so sleepy you can't possibly imagine how sleepy I am. BUT I've to keep myself awake because it's Wednesday it's American Idol finals day. I think both finalists are damn good, but I like Adam more.

Anyway, I haven't been blogging have I? I think I only blog once/twice a week now. I don't know, but I think boring you people with details of my everyday life bores me too. No it's not that my days are boring. It's pretty fun at work. I really like my workplace, and I'm dead sure I laugh more than I talk at work, because my colleagues are so funny.

ANYWAY, I'm officially older now HAHA because I JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST 4D TODAY! Oh lol, alright I didn't really buy it, but I shade the numbers on the slip of paper myself, and then my colleague helped me buy it at 7-11. My colleagues were laughing at how I shade the whole box like OMS though. Aha. ._.

Sadly, I didn't win my first 4D, must be because Shian (guy from work) pat my shoulder while telling me some other girl pat his shoulder, so he won't win his 4D. EH I ALSO GOT BUY CAN. :(

The videos at americanidol.com are all messed up.

Anyway, I can't think of what to blog about because there are too many things to say/nothing to say/both of the above/which is not possible dork.

So I'll blog in points.

1. Tra lalalalalalaLA!

2. Oh, I bought a new camera, like a few weeks ago. The guy who sold me the camera really looks like Chen Bang Jun, but that's not the point. The point is the camera. It's black, and silver, and it's Olympus, and I like it because it's downright idiot proof and I can press and press the buttons and it won't hang! Woo!

3. I've been jogging at YCK with Priscilla/Sokmui/Naomi the past weeks, at least once a week. AND I LOVE FRIED SUSHI! There's a link to those two doh. After jogging, the nearest place to dinner is RI BEN CHUN. (I still don't know the english name for that.) It's a 99cents per plate place and it's great for dining because the place is pretty empty and so the service is Great. Plus, it's really cheap considering the food and service we get. (:

4. So I was saying, fried sushi is really great, I like. gillian first introduced it to me in March and it's really nice!

5. Speaking of gillian, I miss my gay and the woman who folds herself (is she back from Taiwan already?) so I think I'll sms them tomorrow and ask them out to wii or squash. YES I WANT TO PLAY SQUASH. :D :D

6. Speaking of squash, I was surfing ebay the other day looking for squash rackets to buy and I there were only two search findings for Singapore, pretty sad huh. I want to get a squash racket but they are all. So. Expensive. :(

7. Speaking of expensive, ALRIGHT I can't continue this speaking of thing. Let me start a new topic to speak off.

8. Priscilla/Sokmui/Naomi, can we go Phuket in July or something. You know, those beach resorts place. I heard my colleague say Phuket is really cheap and nice, with sun sand coconuts massages. Sounds great right. Shall we go shall we go shall we goooo. Before we start our boring years of school again.

9. Speaking of school, I haven't accepted NUS/NTU. Enrolling is a motherassleHassle. I was trying to read the NUS freshmen guide and I was so annoyed, can't they summarise the key points instead of stating everything IN DETAIL. It's super annoying to read 6 or 7 lines to realise, oh, so they are saying I've to be healthy to enroll into the school. To which you'll go DUH ISN'T THAT OBVIOUS. And then they'll use another 3 or 4 lines to tell you you've to go for this medical checkup at their school, and ANOTHER 4 or 5 lines for the details. Stupid freshmen guide, it's so not a guide lah.

10. Speaking of guides, I like campfires.

11. Speaking of campfires, I like marshmellows.

12. Speaking of marshmellows, I like daffodils.

13. Speaking of daffodils, duan wu jie is near. BA ZHANG yay!

14. The speaking of doesn't really link... I bet you didn't realise.

15. Alright, 9.20pm. Take a bath and countdown to American Idol, AI! WO AI AI! HAHAHAHAHAHA! :D

I will set the world on fire

Crossroads

2009-05-12T14:55:00.002+08:00

It's always much easier to fall back on, I don't know, I don't know where to go, I can't decide etc. I'm such a chicken. I can't hold myself responsible for decisions (if I can make them?). There's more than one reason why I can't be swift and just decide on NUS, although I know NUS arts is more established than NTU's, and NUS is more renowned because it's like National University of Singapore, instead of NTU. Who knows what's Nanyang?

There's FASS. Which is one whole faculty and you get your modules through bidding. You decide what you want to major in. And hence. HENCE, I know I'll waver when I'm there, again. I'll think and wonder if I really want to do Econs, because there I'll get a second chance to change my decision. I may skip to something else, regret it, skip back, regret it, skip around, become Skippy peanut butter, and die a horrible death (sorry, can't think of way to complete sentence).

Another thing is, my eldest sister. She was from FASS, she started off with Econs. She majored in Econs and minored in statistics. According to her, it was very difficult and she had to drop to Sociology in year 3. I don't know why but the tone of her speaking insinuates I can't cope either. But it just is, I told you I hate my sisters, really.

On the other hand, NTU econs means NTU econs, and the furthest you can skip to is nowhere.

And, talking to people doesn't really help, since they tell me things I already know.

I guess what I can do now is read NUS and NTU brochures about the courses and modules they offer and highlight those that interest me. Then I'll count which school has more highlighted ink.

The next thing to do is probably convincing myself staying in halls will be a valuable experience and I should learn to take care of myself. MEH. I think I'll cry to myself on the third night or so and make noise about wanting to go home. I'll be homesick, for sure. Alternatively, I should just not stay in halls, right?

I hate it that I'm so indecisive. What's wrong with just sticking to one decision and making things work out?

Alright, as a change from my indecisive PAST, the next time you ask me which uni I'm headed, I'll tell you I haven't decided instead of I don't know. That sounds more like I've been thinking. :)

Alright, I've to watch my Bleach. :)

Update

2009-05-12T11:06:00.001+08:00

So I'm in FASS as well.

Letters.

2009-05-11T19:12:00.002+08:00

I think it's the relief of knowing you'll at least be going somewhere. The past days, or even weeks saw me waiting for the letters that never seem to arrive, and I kept asking myself, what if, what if they just don't reach. How am I going to spend one year.

But despite all that, the nonchalant part of me kept telling myself, aiyah, will come one lah, my results alright what. But I swear, until you actually really truly receive a piece of paper that says Congratulations, you can never feel at ease. And when you finally do get it, you feel stupid worrying over nothing.

However.

Today I received two rejection letters telling me I've not gotten into either NUS or NTU, which are by far (and can only be) the two universities I applied for. I don't konw why, maybe because of the order of my choices, maybe because relative to others, I didn't do as good as I thought. But the fact that I can't even get into FASS makes me feel like eating the keyboard.

Alright, I just hala-ed you. Did you really believe that? My, I'm such a seasoned liar aren't I?

I got into NTU Econs. Now I'm waiting for the NUS letter to tell me I got into FASS. And then when I do, I'll fret over which school to go. I don't know, I think I'll seek out people in FASS and talk to them. I just knew someone who's second year in FASS, and he majors in Economics. I guess I'll just talk more to him. But you know I suck at making decisions, why else would I take Science in JC?

And of all things, I feel stupid hoping to do Econs in universities when I already threw away ALL my econs notes (and they're pretty comprehensive, considering the amount of time I spent making my own notes). I just have to find some kind of love for that subject again, that I had in JC1, and depleted gradually with each double Econs.

And now everytime I think of that subject, I shiver abit thinking about the A'level essay and how sarney-screwed (I meant to say barney, but then I want alliteration) it was. Nevermind.

Anyway, I'm sick. I went to work from 0830-0930 today before deciding I can't take the migraine any further. I felt like my head was going to explode into a gazillion pieces and fed to sharks. And the flu is horrible, horrible, horrible. Oh, speaking of flu, someone told me a really funny thing last night because I mentioned I can't breathe because of the flu.

Pigs can't fly, but swine flu.

It made me laugh out loud in front of the computer. To which my mother thought I was gagging because my laughter sounded weird with the flu. What the tarney.

I went to see the doctor next to my office and waited a hefty 1 hour 10 minutes before I finally got to see the weird doctor who insisted 38degrees celcius is not a fever. I've also lost my voice and I sound TOTALLY like Ah Du. You can call me and talk to me on phone if you're a fan of Ah Du. I'll try singing you Jian Chi Dao Di.

I'm feeling better now after taking the medicine and a nap. :)

Restaurant City is down on maintenance. D:

Alright, I'll blog again later if RC is still down like syndrome and I've nothing to do. Byebye.

Shapeshifters

2009-05-08T21:06:00.002+08:00

You wouldn't have known that I was staring, but I was. I stared so hard all colours faded gray, the bodies became skinnier, thinner, until the sides joined and they disappeared. In that scene, the car silently crashed into the bus ahead and disappeared, then the bus disappeared, then the road disappeared, then the entire street disappeared. For the tiniest of moment, you disappeared. I panicked. Then you came to sight, like stretching a page and you appear in between. And then everything falls into place once more. The street grew, the road flipped over, the bus came out from space, and threw up a car, people take shapes, and colours begin to fill.

Except that as I was taking all these in, I lost you. I forgot to keep one eye on you while I watch colours spread like a drip. And now it's more difficult to spot you, because like all others, you're coloured, you're no different.

My Week

2009-05-02T17:00:00.002+08:00

I didn't blog for an entire week because of:

1.

This is my uber cute restaurant from Restaurant City on Facebook! If you're my friend, please go play Restaurant City because it's super cute and because I'll get another ingredient during my first visit into your restaurant! You can hire me to work at your restaurant too! I look like this:

Super cute right! :D

2.

I'm at episode 12 or 13 now and I'm stopping for awhile (like 2hours HAHA) because when you watch Oh Xiang Ju too fast they get into your head and you can't stop thinking about the show.

Okay not really. I can't stop thinking about Kim Bum.

Super cute! Mel! I don't like Gu Jun Pyo, his hair, what's wrong with his hair! Hahahahaha! Kim Bum is so much cuter!

Right! So much cuter isn't he! :D

3.
I've been working. And yep, I work on Public Holidays as well, double pay! And it's much more workless (HAHA) working on PH because all the important people aren't around (aka bosses), so we log in to Facebooks to let our restaurants run! TRADE INGREDIENTS FTW! :D Aha super slack Labour Day.

4.
I've been celebrating my birthday which was on Tuesday, Tuesday? Thanks all! I like my Nineteen magazine HAHA! And TESH-FSF LOL!

I have to blog about TESH-FSF, it's so funny. I know I promised not to blog about it, but it's SO FUNNY. I won't say who then, alright, not like most of you know who it is anyway.

So, Friend X, Friend Y, Friend Z and I went out one night to celebrate 28April! Friends XYZ sang a birthday song at pretty Aston's over pretty cake and then Friend X said it's PP time.

X: It's PP time!
M: What?
X: PP!
M: WHAT?
Y: Present.
Z: Presentation!
X: PP!

._.

Okayy. Then,

X: Guess what I got you.
M: What?
X: Guess!
M: What?
X: Stop saying What!
M: WHAT WHAT WHAT.
X: I got you WGGW!
M: Uh. What ga ga what?

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Friend Y was sane so there wasn't abbreviations.

Z: My turn.
M: What?
Z: I got you TESH-FSF.
M: HOW TO GUESS THAT, KANASAI.
Z: GUESS! TESH-FSF!
M: Ta-eh-super-happy-fish-swim-fish?

LOL LOL LOL.

Alright, I know you're wondering what those are. Will it bother you if I don't tell you what those stand for? It will? Alright then.

:D

5.
I've been enjoying alone time! :D I went shopping alone today after getting some books from the library. Oh, do you know you've to queue up to have your IC scanned before entering the library? It's some precaution NLB takes to fend against Swine, so that if someone contracted Swine, they can track to see who was at the library on the same day as him. Then they can quaratine you. I think it's pretty lame because as much as it's a good effort, it won't be of any use when the huge shopping mall next to it is not doing the same thing. I mean, I think 90% of the people who went to the library went to Causeway Point before or after, and maybe only 5% of the people who went Causeway Point went to the library. You get what I mean.

Anyway, I was saying, I've been enjoying my Alone time. Actually I'm not really alone, I've my virtual restaurant and Kimbum and Jay's songs! Yes, I've my computer! Zai nu wan sui! :D

6.
I PLAYED BADMINTON ON THURSDAY NIGHT! Woah super happy, finally get to play after 7 barney years (freaking long can!). And although the court-booker Spiky fell asleep and didn't turn up, we still had lots of fun, I really miss badminton so much.

After badminton we had dinner at nearby botak jones because we have three botaks who told us lots about NS stories, great to catch up with them! :D Botaks didn't get discounts at botak jones though, HAHA!

Alright that's about all for the week. Byebye! :D

Letter to Weatherman

2009-04-25T10:41:00.002+08:00

I feel my eyelids burning. What's wrong with this crazy weather?

Letter to Weatherman

Dear Weatherman,

This April, I hate you. I really hate you. Why are you burning us like that? WHY? Do you know, yesterday during lunchtime, me and a group walked to Meridian for lunch and it was horrible? That the air-con food court seemed not air-conned at all? Do you know I ate briyani because I wanted to eat PAPADUM? That's beside the point BUT do you know how many times I secretly swore at you because of the crazy sun?

Anyway, I just have to say, the briyani at Meridian is crazy. It costs $6 but the proportion is like $60 to me. Seriously, when I just couldn't eat anymore, the plate still looks like when I just bought it.

Anyway anyway, Weatherman you suck. Do you know I can be sitting around now and not doing anything and YET I still feel like swearing at you for making the sun shine like that? Do you know how much I hate the sun? You don't? NOW YOU DO. Make the sun go away. Alright I know I'm being difficult, the last time it kept raining I asked for the rain to go away. BUT I didn't ask for sun like that. I don't mind sun behind lots of clouds, plus WIND. PLEASE GRANT US WIND.

Until the whole of Singapore is air-conditioned, I'll try to stay home as much as possible. And it's all because of you, YOU weatherman, I hate you.

Do something about it already.

Lots of fuck-yous,
Sandy

Run round in circles ohsure

2009-04-21T19:46:00.004+08:00

With your hand in mine, let's dash fields, let's forget names, let's get lost somewhere pulchritudinous. Let's spend a day and a night out in the wild, getting cuts on knees and running out of water to drink. Let's not wake up from this dream.

The beauty of indefiniteness lies in hope, you say.
I didn't reply, but I would like certainty more; the beauty of definiteness lies in security, I think.

Day plans

2009-04-19T10:02:00.002+08:00

I, am leaving home in maybe an hour's time but I'm not moving because I feel like I just woke up, which is true.

Okay wait, did I watch Spongebob yesterday? -drops into deep thought- Ohyea I did, but it was a repeat, but it's still funny the second time I watch it. Patrick and his song. Twinkle twinkle Patrick star. :D

Anyway, I was saying, I think I should sms Bugs/Mel to tell them to meet at a later time.

ALRIGHT, Mel just asked me to meet half an hour earlier instead. .________.

Okay, I got to rush. Meh.

Oh. We just canceled it. :D

I'm home alone, hungry and cold without breakfast because my parents went Malaysia for a day. But! I'm meeting gillian and chunying later in the evening to play squashhhh! :D Maybe I can ask chunying out to lunch and stone and stone and stone first. I want to go AMK hub, it feels like 2 years since I last went there.

I should play Viwawa in the meantime. And meet chunying when I'm hungry.

I think I'll quit in June and then be a zai nu for two weeks. Zai nus wan sui.

:D

I must do?

2009-04-17T22:58:00.003+08:00

There is the apprehension of hope, sweet anxiety, fetching fearfulness. And a small streak of impossibility. Yet I can be so certain at times, just by the sound of your coming, just by the locks of eyes, the colloquy. I think I know, I think I don't. I think I'm infallible, I think I'm clueless. I think, I think not, I don't think.

Is there something I must do.

Fungalala

2009-04-16T22:04:00.002+08:00

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Everyone would be mummery flummery. Everything would have meaningless mean. Everything will Fiddle the Faddle fala-la frog.

Later tonight I'll go to sleep after thinking and promising to remember today, later tonight I'll drift into states where fungalala happens, where only we know what fungalala means. Later in the morning I'll wake up happy, I'll forget yesterday, but I know, I know, you're still there to remind me what fungalala is.

Librarian

2009-04-14T21:44:00.002+08:00

Today, I made myself white coffee during work because it was so bad, I was really sleeping, and keeping awake was more difficult than during double Econs or double GP, or quadruple Econs cum GP. A big Z was hanging over my head and the thought of TODAY IS ONLY TUESDAY makes me want to drop dead and ~~die~~ sleep.

"Today I asked a student to scold himself cuz I didn't want to scold him for not doing his compo and he pointed at himself and shouted CHEEBYE. omg. Super funny."

I laughed so hard on the bus, ohmytian, I love Andersonians, they are so cute right! That message is from PriscillalovesPhelps by the way, she's a relief teacher back at Anderson for two weeks, lucky her!

For my birthday this year, you can wrap up an adorable Andersonian (AAA!) for me. Lol. Alright, you can get me jotterbooks, I've been saying I want jotterbooks for years, and the ones I got aren't the orginal ones. Jotterbooks are supposed to have blank off-yellow pages, not white lined ones. Or you can get me that giraffe pattern twin pencils from Times bookstore. I think it's about $2. I only want the giraffe pattern ogay, the others don't look pretty.

Alright, it's my NINETEENTH birthday, what can I possibly ask for?

You can print me a magazine that says NINETEEN instead of SEVENTEEN to convince me we're all still young virant lads.

You can... make me something, you've about two weeks to do so. You can make me a charming card, or a uh, toy, or an Amazing Andersonian (lol), you can sew me a shirt HAHA or knit me a glove because my workplace freezes hands. Jackets are no good because the sleeves end where palms begin.

If all fails just write me a note. On green-apple-green construction paper. Or Solaris-yellow. You can mail it to my address because I love receiving letters through post. It's exciting because you won't know who it's from. If you're illiterate and you can't spell or you lost your hands in a scissors-paper-stone showdown, you can send me an empty envelope, I'll feel your thoughts HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Alright I'll mail myself birthday notes and pretend I don't know who they are from. Ohmy so exciting!

PS: I replied all the tags but Sandy (don't you miss her!) ate all my tags because she was tangry (tag-hungry).

Comma Rant

2009-04-13T20:39:00.002+08:00

I, don't know why I still bother pretending you do not annoy me, when this must be the worst it had ever been, if my eyes were Swiss they'll be cake (Swiss rolls, funny not), I, don't know why I bother considering we can be friends, that I should make an effort to hang around, that I should bother at all, because things just plunge like waterfalls into potholes, because every other minute I'm counting down to the next, because suddenly you mean so little I can hardly count you anymore, let alone count on you, I don't understand why I still bother pretending you matter, when I'm way more comfortable around people who act like I do, who do the sames things I do, who live the same life, because to me instead of asking about which branded stuff you just recently got, I'll care more about asking about your job and your job experience and I'll care more about things like office politics or funny childish colleagues or such, and instead of asking about which friend you just knew 2days ago from which club is so-and-so and how fun clubbing is, I'll care more about things like universities, whether we should take up hostels, whether we're looking forward to it etc.

I digress.

I hate to think why when you cross this age, clubbing is the norm, you club you cool, even if you don't drink, even if you don't dance, you just SHOULD club, even if you say no, you just SHOULD come, even if you want to sleep, you just SHOULD join, even if you are getting angry, you just SHOULD be a sport, etc.

Back to what I was saying, you, YOU, I hate everything about you, stop, can't you for a moment STOP, thinking so highly of yourself, you make me sick, and want to stampede on you, and so too many damn times I felt like screaming, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN, but that will be a slap in my own face, because I was out of my mind today, and as much as I don't want things to end this way, (they usually don't) I can't be bothered to pretend you matter anymore, you probably do, just not to me, and as I realised it, it has been like this all along, probably it was me who didn't want to admit being who.

I feel great, because I know I'm so much better off now.

*

I'll get my gray highlights this weekend nmw, ros.

Nothing's exciting this week at work except that's it's the 15th soon so there'll be stationeries requisition and ho.

PS: I've a very bad habit of not replying to tags. Till by the time I do it'll be too late to, like replying to Weeyang now about his comment over KTV is funny because WEEYANG YOU PANGSEH-ED US THAT DAY, and I don't even know if he tagged before that outing, after that outing, or during that outing. My response vary for each yaknow.

Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence

2009-04-12T09:21:00.002+08:00

I can't stop listening to hooking songs like this.

Ching a ling, ching a ling
Ching a ling, ching a ling
Take me down to the fields where the grasses, where the grasses, lie

2009-04-12T08:42:00.003+08:00

It's Sunday, my horoscope from Tuesday/Wednesday said if I'm waiting for some kind of results, I can forget about receiving them this week because it's not going to come so soon.

I hope horoscope next week will say something like my future is bright and wonderful and I'll receive some ADMISSION LETTER PLEASE.

:(

Exciting Sunday ahead!

did you really think so

2009-04-10T22:12:00.002+08:00

MRT should be a town on its own because I keep bumping into people on board. Not bumping like I push you you ah and fall down and I laugh kind of bumping. I meant running into people you know. Not running into them like I drive car and run you over and you ah and die and I laugh kind of running into. I meant, I think you get my point.

And counting, it's the fourth day I haven't seen my second sis. If I'm 7 I'll think she crawled into the TV the way the Jap ghost crawled out of it. If I'm 4 I'll think she's hiding in my non-existent sailormoon bag. If I'm 1 I'll think, I'll think I won't think at all.

That's it! We should all be one year olds.

...

Nevermind.

*

On a happier note, my mother had started on the Sudoku book(s) I bought her. She's currently at Book 1, Gentle, the number 17th or 18th puzzle. She's also using my mechanical pencil and my eraser because she's very prone to mistakes; what amazes me is she erases everything off once she realises there's an error somewhere without even flinching.

Why didn't I take up that patience?

Last night I had fun. Okay I suck at recounting nowadays. I uh went out with uh a group of uh friends uh from JC uh to uh Newton uh uh Decoders' uh to uh surprise uh Bugs with uh a bunny cake and a uh uh uh uh.

Okay you can read Sheralyn's blog if you are a piece of blue cheese from Hungary.

Last last night I had fun too. I uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uhuh. Yep, fun isn't it.

Two nights out leave me very sleepy and it's Yayness Friday. I'm going out with Mum tomorrow and I've no idea where to go yet.

And Mel, HANDSOME SUIT WHEN. I can't wait!

Today on train I gave my seat up for this lady I was dead sure she's pregnant. Turns out she wasn't. She scolded me for being nosy ('duo shi'). I felt super indignant I felt like shouting at her for wearing something that screams Maternity Wear. Or if I'm mean enough I could have said then she must be really meaty ('duo rou'). And guess what? I said, sorry, and alighted. WHY CAN'T I SHOW HOW MEAN I AM. WHY. WHYYYYY?!

I've 4 days to finish reading the 4th book I borrowed from WRL.

The paragraphs don't link.

I figured a theory just now but I can't find its relevance anywhere.

I can't remember much of it now but it runs somewhere along the lines of the maximum age difference between a couple for true love to exists. There must be a formula to calculate it, somehow. But then if something associated with love can be calculated using a formula, that love must be unreal.

Which then renders my theory meaningless because then there will be no theory, again.

And my thoughts carried on running round in circles like that till I landed on something quite solid.

I forgot.

Alright I need some sleep. Byee.

I'm turning 19 soon, and that means it's not 18 anymore. It's the two years between being 18 and 21 that leaves you nowhere. You can't call yourself an adult, but you can't call yourself a young vibrant lad either.

Okay of course I can. Hello I'm Young Vibrant Lad. Please call me YVL.

I HATE FISH AND CO, I AM SO NOT STEPPING INTO THAT PLACE IN APRIL OR EARLY MAY. NO DON'T TRY CONVINCING ME. I HATE FISH AND CHIPS. THEY REMIND ME OF GREEN GOOEY GRUESOME GLUE. I HATE FISH AND CO AND THEIR FISH AND CO FISH AND CO CO, FISH AND CO FISH AND CO CO, BIRTHDAY BOY ONE NIGHT FUN. I. HATE. FISH. AND. CO.

Please. If you're my friend you won't make me do this. And we are such good friends, yes we are. Seriously.

Since last year I dread birthdays because it means I'll be one year older. This sounds like something women aged 30 and above say. I really dread when a whole big group is forced to sing you a birthday song even though they don't really know you well, like when in a class or with a group of CCA mates. I don't mean ABT, of course. OKAY I might as well just say I meant NJBT, which other CCA had I been in? ._.

Today, a car was waiting for me to cross the street so I thought it would be funny to slowly limp across the street. When I got to the end, I jumped as high as I could to show I was faking. Turns out I tripped and hit my head hard on the sidewalk. That car took me to the hospital. FML

Today, while showering, my 3 year old son comes to the bathroom and puts on all my makeup. Once I got out of the shower, I got a camera I had and took a few adorable shots. Afterward, I sent the images to all my friends and family. Then I realized the reflection on the mirror was me fully naked. FML

Saturday

2009-04-05T12:10:00.002+08:00

I'm so jealous, Priscilla gets to teach back at Anderson. I want to go back there and teach too (anything will do, MUSIC OR ART also can!) and eat lunch with teachers like MDM WONG or MRS LIM or MR NG. Aha, and get to sit at a table in the STAFF ROOM! Ohmytians. Can I volunteer to do PE relief or something. I still remember how to lead warm-ups. :)

Anyway.

I'm going to blog about Saturday.

Saturday

Hm. Hmmm. Oh. Hmmm. What happened yesterday? -takes three minutes to recall-

Oh.

After logging off yesterday, I took a shower, changed, watched my mother finish her 5th Sudoku, left the house, walked to the bus-stop, watched the bus arrive, boarded the bus, reached Woodlands interchange, went up the escalator, topped up my card (had a little heart-ache), tapped at MRT gentry, went up another escalator, waited 4mins for the train to come, boarded the Marina Bay train, smsed Jaslyn/Naomi to ask if there are any cake shops at Paya Lebar where I can get Yongyuan's birthday cake, got shocked when Yongyuan boarded the train at Yishun, realised I can't get his birthday cake when he's travelling with me, talked to him about uni acceptance letters (HE HAS A FRIEND WHO GOT ACCEPTED INTO FASS ALREADY), talked about his NS enlistment (all three of them, Wilson, Yongkiat and Yongyuan are enlisting on the same day), gossiped about GJiahao and pockets HEH, alighted at City Hall, changed train towards Pasir Ris...

Alright, this is getting really senselessly long. But I said I'll blog about my day.

Then Jenna phoned me to tell me she reached so I told her to get a cake and hide it in her bag for Yongyuan, she sounded spastically happy even over the phone, I could feel her grinning even though we weren't having a video call, then we alighted at Paya Lebar and saw Jenna, called Jaslyn and realised she's still on bus, called Yongkiat and realised he was on the same bus as Jaslyn but blur him alighted at the wrong stop, then we walked around trying to find an air-con place where we can wait, couldn't find an air-con place where we can wait, then Jaslyn reached, and we walked to the bus-stop where she is, to wait for Yongkiat who's taking the next bus that comes from the bus-stop where he alighted wrongly.

Then, when Yongkiat's bus was here, we were supposed to board it because we're taking that bus, but blur Yongkiat alighted, and boarded the bus together with us again, so effectively he took the same bus 3 times. Then we talked more on the bus and I feel sad that they're all enlisting soon, soon ABT outings will be left with me and Jaslyn that's ohsoromantic but I swear I'll turn salty soon. ANYWAY, we reached Tanjong Katong Shopping Center and reached TeoHeng punctually at 2pm, and then we started singing and Yongkiat sings damn well -ohswoons. Then Joan reached and it was pretty cramped in the medium room with 6 of us but I like it cozythisway.

Joan and Jenna hardly sang because Joan says she don't know how to sing all the songs we chose (when they are the super common ones like Cai Hong, or Wo Bu Pei, or Shuo Hao De Xing Fu Ne, or Xing Bu Liao Qing, or Cha Jian Er Guo, or Hui Hu Xi De Tong, or Yan Hai Gong Lu De Chu Kou, or ONE NIGHT IN BEIJING, or Zhi Dui Ni You Gan Jue, or Liang Zhi Lian Ren, or Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Li Ye, and many many others. In the end, the only song I can remember Joan singing (and got sound) is Di Yi Tian by Sun Yan Zi. The mic suddenly goes silent when she's holding it, and Jaslyn and I sound like we were carrying invisible mics.

Yongyuan appeared in many songs. Every lovey dovey song sure got Yong Yuan.

We bought baos because we were really hungry and the coffee bao is obviously daosha bao, cheater.

We sang for 5hours straight, till 7, and our last song was Forever Love. This song doesn't have yongyuan because it's translated into English Forever.

Then we left the place and went home without dinnering together because it was Qing Ming yesterday and most of our mothers cooked because we need to bai bai.

I've about 9 pictures taken but I'm, really, lazy, to, upload, anything.

I FINISHED BLOGGING ABOUT SATURDAY!

It was, hen hao wan, and I like Yongkiat sing -swoons.

And, I want to play badminton but it's near impossible to book courts. :(

Ohkay, byebye.

Yesterday saw me having a hard time deciding which Sudoku book to buy at Popular, J8. Wondered around a long time before getting some 4-books-series Sudoku book that has a total of 400 over puzzles to solve. Sadly, my mother thinks they look better in the box and the plastic so she's deliberating over opening it up or not.

See, I said I should have gotten the KID'S DUMMIES GUIDE TO SUDOKU.

*

I'm leaving home in 40mins time for K session. On days without work, I think I'm hardly doing anything productive. Where has volunteer work, self-enriching lessons gone? D:

That said, I think I deserve a treat every weekend, not that work is strenuous, it's not.

And hold, I haven't gotten any uni acceptance letter yet. It seems almost certain that FASS is the way, which I don't know if I should be happy about. Alright I can't be absolutely certain FASS will take me either. But, my results aren't that bad, are they?

*

Oh, and I want to watch DMC/Handsome Suit. The last movie I watched is what, My Bloody Valentine's. That seems a real long time ago.

Alright, I've another 5mins before I've to rush.

I... want to go somewhere that doesn't look local. I want to go somewhere that doesn't remind me of anywhere.

Ohkay, I've another 2mins before I really really have to rush. I keep sneezing, somebody's guessing I'll be late, for sure.

*

I hope to get the drift of blogging about my days again. I haven't showed you pictures of say, playing wii with gillian and chunying like two weeks ago. Or Bottletree Park and how it looks like at night. Or my JROCK.

Hoh, got to really rush.

Byebye.

Where the river always flows

2009-04-01T21:58:00.002+08:00

It's funny how every night I watch my sister slip out of the house as quietly as she can so my mother will not be waken up by the noise and call her on her handphone to ask where does she think she's going (she means it both ways, literally and figuratively). And I won't know what to do. Usually I just keep quiet, because I don't want my mother to trouble herself giving 8 missed calls to my sister before finally giving up and lose sleep anyway. And my father will talk incessantly the whole night about how my sister is already out of hand.

And in case you're wondering why she has so much time to get out every night, she just completed poly and in her words, waiting for results when even Spongebob from Neptune knows all third year poly kids know their results already. She doesn't want to continue uni, because in her words cannot get in (she's so sure even though she doesn't know her results yet).

And every morning, when my mother comes into the room to wake me up, she'll realise my sister's not in, and she'll ask me where's she, and I'll say she went out, and she'll ask me when, and I'll say last night around 10pm, and she'll ask me to close the door after I leave the room so my father will think my sister's still sleeping inside so he will not start the she's-getting-worse talk.

And, you've no idea what sort of sarcasm I go through in the house with my two sisters. They each have their own problems with my parents, while I don't. They hate me, and the only reason I can think of is my parents like me, alot. And if I ever quarrel with either of them, and if my parents have to take sides, they'll side me. To my parents, I'm like the nerd to the teacher; my sisters are like the hooligans of the school.

And you've no idea how many times I felt so Helpless I strangle teddy bears. Sometimes the sarcasm is overwhelming. Like when my eldest sis called home at 8.15pm on a Monday night and asked my mum to help her record Campus Superstar, and my mum was already recording Spongebob for me, my sister vent on me when she came home. She reached home at 8.45pm, realised she missed her favourite contestant's singing. Then my second sis said things like your Campus superstar where got as important as Somebody's cartoon, and my eldest sis said oh yah hor. The CARTOON more important lah, of course mah. and I didn't say anything. And my brother who happened to be around on a rare Monday night covered for me and said things like the campus superstars aren't much to watch anyway since they're so lousy and where's the need to create hoo-has over a stupid show that only stupid people watch.

It's stupid, but there are about a thousand other incidents occurring in the house whenever I'm around with either or both of my sisters. They keep trying to put me down, and some days I get so annoyed I say mean things I don't mean. Like I'll point out to my second sis how it's impossible to NOT know her results yet, and how long she intends to stay home and not find work.

I know she deserves a break, but those were the exact same things she said to me two days after my A's ended. Sometimes I wonder if I wanted a job at that time because I wanted to prove a point, I don't know, I probably did.

I find myself counting down to the time my eldest sis gets married so I won't have to put up with her anymore. I just shocked myself being so blatant because I thought I can never confess these thoughts, even to myself.

And, I hate to watch my parents age. I hate to see my father sitting in the living room, lost in his thoughts and staring into space with a frown. I hate to see him getting all worked up, his face flushed when he's angry. He's not young anymore, and like many others his age, he has heart problems, on long-term medication. I hope they will stop giving problems to them, and just stick to being goody two-shoes like I am.

They don't even dream of us doing extremely well, excelling or whatnots. They just want you to pick up your call when they phone you, talk to them nicely and not like they owe it to you, be decent, be honest, be home.

I just think that, at their age, what they should be experiencing now is bliss and happiness instead of worry and grouchiness.

You have no idea.

* Please leave out the comments like Things will get better, Don't worry everything will be alright, Hang on, Jiayou, Treasure what you have nevertheless. I know all that. Those are the cliches I say to others, and it gets doubly irritating when others tell you what you tell others. It's almost mocking, Ah can say cannot do is it?

I want to watch this. Students' concession is only $27. I can only think of chunying who will want to watch it, since it's a dance concert. I also want to watch Cullberg Ballet but the tickets are pretty expensive. D:

chunyingggggg do you want to watch Dancing On Your Grace. It's 22nd-24th May, whenever you are free.

Payday is near. Suddenly I changed my mind about highlighting hair.

I think, if we can all exist in the same world but in selected dimensions, we'll all be happier people. Like we get to choose who will be in your world. And anything others say of that person will simply be omitted from what you hear.

Yea, like the 90.5FM advertisement.

And that when we go out with a group of friends, your friend say he's going out with 9 people, your other friend may say he's going out with 6 people, and you may be going out with just 3 people, but actually you're all going out in a group of 15 people. It's like blocking contacts on MSN. Some people are left out, and they may not even know it.

I think, maybe, today's just one of those days I wish I'm left alone in a planet so I can talk to my pet rock. I'll show you a picture of my pet rock someday. His name is JROCK and his hobby is to stone.

Good night.

Sometimes I miss Anderson so much I get lost in my thoughts just thinking back.

And, it's something I can't relate to somebody who didn't graduate there clearly no matter how many stories I tell to how nitty the detail I recount. It's never the same.

Even now, listening to an old song I heard when I was 13/14 brings back the feelings then, Sec1 orientation, Larger Than Life, amazed at the library, we can actually eat ice creams here!

Pinafore days, Mdm Hee, thick like mushroom soup Maths file, ping piang ah, the science experiments, computer lessons (do you remember we learned photoshop?), Lim Yu Kee, ketchup dance, spiderman cheers, ART LESSONS IN THE ART ROOM, fanciful place -- there was a shelter leading to the Art Room last time, home econs lessons, Huabin passing around salt that he thought was sugar, salty salty pancakes, ghost stories during Home Econs lessons, running around, hiding Naomi's highlighters at high places, playing badminton using The Pearl (our lit text), and more.

And that's only lower sec days. Upper sec days were crazy, because the memories were nearer and so so hard to not reminisce. How excited we were about lockers in sec 1, found it a bother in sec 2, lived with it in sec 3, and gave it up in sec 4. THE CLASSROOM IS MY LOCKER YO. Crazy sec 4 days, I slept in 80% of Physics, and spent the other 20% doing anything but Physics. gillian and I sang songs (while Mr Yu was talking, I feel so bad now), played with plastic ducks, laughed till we cried, drew on each others' hands, had Weixin telling us that will shorten our lives. Turned round and wasted Literature with Hanhui, gossiping about our teachers (my form teacher and PE teacher married during our year), then shuddering at that thought, talked about the sun to the grass to the beetle to our boyfriends/girlfriends non-stop.

I think Mrs Yeo was trying to keep Hanhui quiet by putting him between me and Evelyn (was it Evelyn?), away from Aaron. I DON'T KNOW why I made friends with Tiny either. Maybe we were too bored, maybe we both hated the same teacher, maybe he's retarded, maybe I'm smart, maybe we're plain lucky.

I swear I wouldn't be talking to Hanhui at all if he wasn't so coincidentally there during the most unattentive lessons I underwent. Hence, I won't be talking to Aaron as well. I can't imagine what will it be like then. (cues Awwwww)

I'm sounding cheesy. But all I want to say is, I miss Anderson like hell. Secondary school days were the best times of my life. The worst you worry about is I don't know, I can't recall worrying about anything then. Maybe not getting the C in Standing Broad Jump so I can't get Gold for NAPFA?

I'm always in the first row because I'm short, or I'm the one asking everyone to take a photo. I wasn't some high profiler. Come to think of it, I think in Anderson, almost everybody is a high profiler. Everybody knew everybody. Which is another thing I like about that homely place.

I think I can compress my two years of joy and laughter in NJ into three months equivalent in Anderson times. That makes NJ sound depressing. It's not lah, it's just that Anderson is too happy.

Alright I can finally sleep in tomorrow. Saturdayyyyyyyyyy.

Has it been already a week since I wished about it being Saturday, Sunday, Saturday, Sunday, Saturday, Sunday... Why so fast. One day I'll wake up and realise I'm 50. Maybe that'll be tomorrow. AHHHHHHH.

Ogay, byebye.

who's to say?

"
There just wasn't much you could do with heroes. They came with a set of traditional standards: square jaw, overdeveloped calves, perfect teeth. They stood half a foot taller than your average man. They were anatomical marvels, intricate displays of musculature. They sported ridiculous knee-high boots that no one without superhuman strength would be caught dead wearing.

On the other hand, your average bad guy might have a face shaped like an onion, an anvil, a pancake. His eyes could bulge out or recess in the folds of his skin. His physique might be meaty or cadaverous, furry or rubberized, or covered with lizard scales. He could speak in lightning, throw fire, swallow mountains. A villain lets your creativity out of its cage.

The problem was, you couldn't have one without the other. There couldn't be a bad guy unless there was a good guy to create the standard. And there couldn't be a good guy until a bad guy showed just how far off the path he might stray.

Salamanca, Spain.

I want to take my wedding photos there.

I think I will cry when I really do get there one day. Spain has been my DC (Dream Country) since like 5, 6 years ago. It's really pretty, don't you think.

Singapore is so blend. I hate merlions. I hate HDBs. Alright I'm a hater. I hate everything, except Spain.

Good night.

2009-03-24T22:17:00.001+08:00

I've finally finished uni applications, pay tomorrow lor.

$20 can watch two movies you know.

Alright byebye.

My day

2009-03-21T19:02:00.004+08:00

It's been a really long time since I last blogged about my day proper. Ohwell, I think results and uni applications kept bugging me so much everything that comes out typed revolves around them.

So, today!

Today I met up with gillian and chunying! The last time I met them we went to K and sang songs sung by birds' nest hair. That's beside the point. We were supposed to fulfill our super-long-time-ago-say-one squash date, but we didn't in the end. Alright we did some strenous exercises too playing wii.

Headed down to square 2 which was a really great deserted (I LIKE!) place for a Saturday. There are quite many shops, and places to eat there and I don't know why that place is so deserted. Anyway, we had lunch at Japanese Town (direct translate!) and laughed at the waiter who wore a mask on his chin. gillian says it's to catch his drool looking at the sushi. ANYWAY, the signboard says if the sushi you want is not on the belt, ask for it from our friendly chef but I think the chef doesn't look friendly at all.

That's beside the point again.

gillian got us jellybeans that says things like lips, I do etc HAHA, and all the flavours are sour. I LIKE JELLYBEANS XIE XIE NI YUNRU! We sang a IN TUNE birthday song to chunying whose birthday is in two days and I gave her her card which is made out of a block of wood and a kaleidoscope! Ohmytian I had to google the spelling for that. I don't know how to pronounce that word but she likes it so I'm happy!

We played wii at $6/hr + $5 lifetime membership and I LOVE THE RABBIDS. They are so cute. -bumps you off the top of building HAHA GILLIAN- We played the celebrities sports thing too and VOLLEYBALL AND BADMINTON ARE SO SPASTIC. But curlball is the worst. I think we wasted 15mins on curlball before finally deciding we don't want to continue scratching the floor. I suck at Cooking Mama, I couldn't even peel potatoes in time. D:

Oh we played rock band too and it was damn stressful although I was playing EASY. I can only sing, which is so ironic. Everyone on Neptune knows I can't sing.

Alright we played for two hours and guy who graudated from NTU computing tells us not to go NTU so I don't know. I DON'T KNOW. I guess I'll just apply first. One step at a time yo.

Then we went home and I dropped by at Cold Storage to get stuff to make my bite-sized sandwiches for exciting picnic of 8people tomorrow! ANSON FOUND A PINIC MAT PRISCILLA! It's pink and white, checkered! That's so picnicky don't you think!

Alright my day sounded boring without pictures. I hardly took any because I was busy bumping gillian off the top of the building. :D

Ogay, I'm sleepy. Byebye.

on a friday

2009-03-20T21:27:00.002+08:00

I feel horrid, and it's over the slightest matter over someone I, or anyone around me, even know. I didn't buy tissue from the sad uncle who was already kneeling down. I walked away because the uncle was pretty far and I was tired and I just want to get home and I'm selfish.

I don't know why it should affect me so much but I really feel horrible now. I hope I see him again soon so I can buy tissue from him.

My parents will be so not proud of me. :(

The Ns

2009-03-17T20:37:00.003+08:00

I can't wait for uni either, but unlike 9 out of 10 friends, I think I prefer NTU to NUS although it's far, it's less happening (I think so too), and yadah yadah, I DON'T KNOW, it's like, CAN YOU EXPLAIN LOVE? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA okay what's my problem, I don't know either.

As in, I don't know why I prefer NTU to NUS although what runs in my mind is something like this:

Comparision between NTU and NUS
1. NTU is as far as your father. (HAHAHAHAHAHA OMG I THINK I'M GETTING FUNNIER DAY BY DAY!) Whereas, NUS is only like, mother. Alright they're both far to me because what's not far is from my house to my house, or from my house to the ice cream man downstairs (and that's only because there's ice cream). I doubt I can stand traveling all that distance, so whether it's far or not won't be a thing to be since I'll want to stay in hostels.

That said, my parents are most unwilling to let me stay in hostels because 1. someone hang himself in NTU (I tried to tell them he wasn't really a student anymore, to which they said same same) and 2. a group of NUS boys ran around halls naked at wee hours of morning. Alright, I think the boys are extremely inconsiderate because after what they had done, 7000 more parents will disallow their kids to stay in hostels. Tsk.

In any case, if I've to decide on NTU or NUS solely based on distance alone, I'll choose NUS because it's only like, mother. Whereas NTU is as FAR as FAther.

2. NUS looks more fun. The students there look like they got more time to play, are more willing to play, and will insist that their hall is the best sports hall. It all sounds like things I do. I can imagine myself joining some club and insisting to everybody I see it's the Best Club in Neptune, except we aren't in Neptune, but that doesn't matter because if it's the Best in Neptune, it has to be the Best here, so join now! Before all the citizens of Neptune cuts your queue and take up all the spaces!

Yea, that really sounds like something I do.

Whereas on the other hand, NTU came across as a slow slow school with lots of trees and benches in quiet corners of the school where you will sit there the whole day listening to your favourite songs, surfing the net aimlessly on your laptop and watching time pass in the slowest speed.

Come to think of it, I'll like that too. I'm confused, do those people who insist their club is the Best in Neptune waste time away on quiet benches in quiet corners?

Anyway, if I've to decide between NUS and NTU based on culture alone, I'll choose NUS as well because it definitely appears more vibrant, lively etc.

3. Courses wise, I guess FASS will really suit me. So I'll opt for NUS over NTU as well.

Put #1, #2 and #3 considerations together, I've a landslide win, NUS 3, NTU 0. Hence NTU wins, and I don't know why.

I want to be in NTU Econs even though I want to be in FASS. And I just said something that doesn't make sense at all, not even to Neptune.

By the way, how do I apply for NTU ah.

At This Point

2009-03-15T17:23:00.002+08:00

I guess we all come to some point in life when we feel like whatever decision we make may be a wrong one. Well, some people are very sure of what they want --- they did well, they know they want to go into medicine, they get into medicine, they are happy, they do well, the end.

There's those who did well, and are undecided over which path to take because they do not want to ruin this good opportunity they have at hand because of their exceptional results.

There's those who are suddenly left stranded because they didn't do well enough to get into their dream courses. They've been reading about, thinking about, dreaming of, breathing that dream courses, which can't materialise because of the cold harsh truth that starts with R and ends with esults.

Then there are those who had no idea from the start to the end. We all don't know where we're headed, we don't know what we want, we don't know what we'll really like, we don't know how is it we can don't regret, we don't know where to go, we can't see what we want to be 10years down the road, nothing interests me, everything seems fine and not fine to me. That's me.

Having said that, I officially eliminated engineering from my choices because I have to admit

1. I really don't like Physics.
2. I'm almost 101% certain it's a place where I WILL NOT excel in.
3. The only reason why I'm considering it is engineering sounds good and an engineer sounds cool.
4. I will hate my life there.
5. I am quite certain I'll regret if I get in there.
6. It looks like a really sorry place to me.

So, I'm left with

HUMANITIES
1. Economics.
Which seems like where I'm headed. I'll apply for NTU economics and FASS. If I get into both, I'll fret later about where to end up in.
2. History.
JOKE.
3. Geography
Minoring in urban geography sounds good.
4. Literature
If I don't get into NTU economics, and I end up in FASS, and I can't bid for the module I want in Econs/Psychology/Political and social sciences, when all fails, I'll take Literature.

Social sciences
1. Psychology.
I'm kinda interested in that too, just like 21027510975080 other people. I want to do it, but I hate having to fight for a place through their called bidding system. So I guess Psychology will be a 2nd choice for NTU application. I don't know, will see how it goes.
2. Sociology
I. Don't. Mind. This. Either.
3. Political Science.
I. Don't. Mind. This. Either.

OR.

Mathematical Sciences -- because I'm really impressed with the bubble/surface thing the angmoh professor showed me at NTU openhouse.

*

You see where my interests lie. It seems like I should head FASS so I can take up Psychology/Econs/Sociology in a japalang manner and see where I end up eventually. We usually do better in things we like, no? It works that way for me, I guess.

I guess, for now, we'll just apply, and when we get accepted, we'll fret again.

My choices,

NTU:
1. NTU Business (to waste space since we are given 5 choices)
2. Economics.
3. Psychology.
4. Mathematical Sciences.
5. Mass Communications

NUS:
1. NUS Law (we're given 10 choices!)
2. NUS Business.
3. FASS.
4. Mathematical Sciences.
5. Communication Studies.
6. Stats.
7. Computing.
8. Bioengineering (HAHA).
9. Mechanical Engineering.
10. Physics and Applied Physics.

Ohwell. It's a Sunday and I forgot to buy the ingredients to make my oreo cheesecake. D:

Tentative uni choices. No, VERY tentative uni choices. Ohmytian, mechanical engineering? WHO AM I KIDDING. Click to enlarge.

And lo and behold, annex A!

It's impossible to get over results, so you might as well stop saying things like it'll be fine, we'll do fine, it'll all be okay in the end, you just need to get somewhere to uni...

Say that to anyone who hasn't done well and they'll say the same old thing to you, well you scored well so you don't know how it feels. But what we're actually feeling is aptly, just go away because I'm jealous of your results, can't you see I enjoy seeking solace from fellow people who hasn't done well because we can all whine together and it's nice knowing you're not the only person who screwed up.

No Sokmui I'm not insinuating you, although I do get annoyed when you fret over which uni course you should apply to with your straight As, while I fret over the dwindling number of courses I'm eligible for. Which probably explains why people who don't do as well (us) don't really want to go out with people who did well (you) because we'll be fretting over different things and we'll get petty over different matters.

But, I think it's not so bad going out with you because you do try to listen to us whine and offer realistic suggestions about where we can go to appear less screwed.

Ohwell.

I want to dye my hair like bright orange or something.

What's different between hope and faith is that you are clear and aware when you simply hope (for the better or best), but faith may be merely blind creed in something you will yourself to believe in, often because you can't afford not to.

Hence I think people with faith are happier than people with hope, but people with wishes are the happiest because they are the most stupid of all three categories.

*

I draft-saved my last depressing entries about results.

I came to a sudden and horrifying realisation today when I found out what I'm largely limited by choices in university. I'm left stranded with things I won't like to do, like engineering, which is highly probable what I'll end up doing. I daren't take up FASS because it seems like I won't get what I want (what do I want?) in any case because your first bidding of modules is based entirely on your A's.

Alternatively, I can try something to do with Mathematics, like Statistics, andmyholybandanas, what did I just say.

To my utmost horror, I realised I am actually hoping to get into NTU Econs because it seems like the next best thing I won't dread. To my ultimate utmost horror, I realised I just said that.

What's scarier than My Bloody Valentine's (great show with great effects, by the way) is that holy Physics and Applied Physics is one of my listed choices. If it's now 1st April I may as well look into Priscilla's Poke ball and say April's Fool!

I don't know, I'm not brave enough to settle my mind on anything.

I may end up taking Econs, becoming a Econs teacher, and making Econs kids fail Econs (gasps!). Ohmytian, what am I thinking. I don't want to become a teacher because

1. Teachers only marry teachers (Soonkiat said this but it makes alot of sense)
2. I don't want to marry teachers
3. Teachers aren't rich

Alright, I don't know. I DON'T KNOW. D:

Byebye.

PS: Hanhui, I don't know why I said I know when you said I've no reason to be upset about my results. Why shouldn't I be? D is Depressing, ya know that don't ya. See you in 15 hours time.

Yellow-tinted photographs

2009-03-06T01:00:00.002+08:00

It's funny how you want some people here and now and you want some people out and forgotten; you want some wishes come true and you want some dreams fulfilled, whereas others don't matter, they can stay, they can go.

It's funnier how sometimes the same people you want holding your hand and telling you everything will be fine are the same people you want never to appear in your life. And how the same wishes you pray for to happen every other night are the same things you claim doesn't really matter.

I want to live in yellow-tinted photographs, I think everything looks pretty inside yellow-tinted photographs. That yellow-tinted photograph I live in must be really huge so I can walk about and not feel bored. I don't want to be stuck to a single frame with maybe a garden bench and five stupid pigeons. Or a rooftop cafe with half a cup of coffee.

I don't know what ridiculous I'm saying. You see, even the last sentence isn't a proper. WHAT AM I SAYING.

2009-03-03T21:54:00.003+08:00

OMG so cute!

I'll buy myself a Mr Toast someday! :D Love The Shrunks too! Pillowman ahahahaha!

I always thought I grew out of soft toys but the other day I helped my colleague buy two huge Mickey Mice (plural) from Kiddy Palace and boy I really felt like buying another one for myself. It was so soft and nice and huge to hug. :D Plus, it was a promo item selling at $19.90 each which is really cheap for such a huge Mickey. But there were only TWO left in Woodlands Kiddy Palace and the reason why I'm helping her get them is because Plaza Sing Kiddy Palace had only one left and that one had a broken nose. ._. Alright so the point of the story is I didn't get one for myself in the end because there were only two left and my colleague wanted two for her two neices and I don't really like Mickey in the first place anyway.

Alright, I just said so much over something that doesn't really concern you, or me, for that matter. That wasted 2 mins of my time and probably another 2 mins of yours. Hurrah to wasted time, HURRAH!

I'm sleeping so late everyday. Ogay byebye.

OooooooooooooooooO

2009-03-02T22:04:00.002+08:00

No no no no no no------- I can't hear you~ I'll cover my ears and eyes and I WILL LIVE IN A WORLD FILLED WITH ONLY MY SINGING (OH MY GOD, which is worse?) AND NEVER HAVE TO KNOW MY RESULTS, EVER!

Alright, I guess we all have to face it regardless. But you know, I'm really so afraid my heartrate reached a whooping 98beats/min when I measured it using the electronic thing that my sister bought for my father because he has high blood pressure and anyway, I used it and it's not faulty but my heartrate is really that high and OHMYTIAN, I'm babbling AGAIN.

Sokmui, you'll never understand how people like Priscilla and I feel. It's like, I've never passed Chem in the two years in NJ, and it'll be my first pass for A's, and you can't expect a good score for a first pass. But you expect it anyway, because you're you, who came in with a very decent O'level score. And you can't afford to falter, because you're you, who came in with a very decent O'level score. And yet that's exactly what you've been doing for the two years, faltering at EVERY single test/exam, for a certain holy subject.

It's no longer about confidence or no confidence. There's zero confidence to start with, and what I feel about my results is almost as good as trying to guess is it DA or XIAO when you toss three dice. Or TOTO. Or 4D. You get my point.

So, Sokmui you won't understand because your grades in the two years range from D to A wheras ours range from U to U. Which is something you can't really call a range. So it's highly understandable we're worried. Won't you be if all you ever got was U?

Ohmytian, I doubt I can sleep tonight, AGAIN. D:

I'm ~~scared~~ ~~frightened~~ terrified about Results Day, which in case you don't already know, is confirmed this coming Friday, 6th March and ohmytian. I'm REALLY scared.

I'm scared of a thousand other stuffs too although they all revolve around a single matter. No, not A's. Nothing as frightening as that.

Oh. My. God. I think I won't be able to sleep for the rest of this week.

It's like, the tears are at the edge of the eyes ready to come out. And I can cry now just thinking about what happens on that day. And No, I don't want to get them back. I'll rather wait another 8years more.

Alright, I'll go my own little corner and frighten myself further. I'll stop scaring you.

Crap! How can I read the books I finally got from the library like that! D:

Jogging at YCK, or if it rains, workout at YCK gym tomorrow, who's on? I feel super unhealthy.

7pm at YCK, sms me asap. Dinner/supper after that perhaps, I guess. PRISCILLA WE MUST EXERCISE SELF DISCIPLINE.

I saw the funniest thing this week on MRT this morning. An auntie was trying to alight at Toa Payoh, and she doesn't know how to say EXCUSE ME. She went BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEP! at the other passengers, so they'll realise she wants to pass. It was omgish funny. I laughed out pretty loud, because it was really funny. What, BEEP?!!? The scary thing is no other passengers on board laughed, which led me to believe work has turned all of them into humourless robots. BEEP?! NOT FUNNY MEH YOU TELL ME.

Thinking about it makes me laugh so hard I can't even continue typing. BEEP!

15 TTMMH and 10 TTMMU

2009-02-25T11:43:00.003+08:00

Hi! It's a bright and cheery Wednesday and I'm here to blog an EE! Don't you just misssss EEs? For dumb senile people like you are, I guess I've to be nice and remind you what's an EE again. EE stands for Entry Exchange, which is something really cute Priscilla and I do. We'll think of a common title and we'll blog our seperate entries so you people can read not one but TWO entries on the same topic! That's really great of us don't you think!

So the title for our EE today is 15 TTMMH and 10 TTMMU! It actually means 15 Things That Make Me Happy and 10 Things That Make Me Unhappy! But that's too long for a title so we cut it down to that. Don't you think TTMMU sounds really funny? Alright, I don't even know how that's supposed to sound, but I'm talking so much here and I haven't even gone into topic.

By the way, you're reading this entry today because I just paid $44 to see the doctor AGAIN (third time this month!) because horrible tonsillitis is back and stronger. Alright, I'm much better now, but I'm home resting although I want to be at work because I've to work to reinstate my pocket that's burning because of my ridiculous medical bills. D:

Anyway, this is a happy entry because it's a long-awaited (who's waiting?) EE! So let's start tomorrow, oops, I mean NOW! :D

15 TTMMH

1. Jay makes me happy! Oh but Jay isn't a thing. Hmmm. Anything related to Jay makes me happy! Like, reading an interview with him on the magazine makes me happy. Watching his MVs make me happy. Seeing him on TV makes me really happy. When friends get me Jay merchandise from Taiwen I get really really happy. Watching his movies make me delirious, and listening to his songs makes me high! :D :D

2. I suppose point number 1 is what everyone knows. And being the ever so creative and innovative self, I should talk about things that you don't already know. So I'll try to be more unexpected in the points to come! The 2nd thing that makes me happy is... getting nice dreams. I like dreaming about pretty looking stuff. Like the other day I dreamt of a handsome scene of a lone tree in a large grey plateau. It's really beautiful and I remember waking up feeling happy.

3. Funny friends make me happy! Like Hanhui and Aaron makes me happy. gillian and chunying makes me happy. Priscilla and (Sokmui) makes me happy. (Sokmui is in brackets because I don't know if killers like to be known as funny. They aren't funny when it comes to killing, you know...) Melissa makes me happy, with her tribal dances! So does Bugs with her incessant talking-at-helicopter-speeds!

4. Having time to myself makes me happy. I like having time alone to make some birthday cards, watch the ice cream man downstairs ring the bell, pack my things over and over again, read etc. I think having time to reorganise myself makes me happy because I like being organised. :)

5. Talking about the past makes me happy, most of the times. Like the countless times when friends and I gather and talk and talk about days in secondary school life, or even in NJ. Talking about the funny teachers, funny incidences that happened in class. It makes me happy thinking I had a fun life. Or maybe my life now isn't as bad as I think it is. Because someday I may be looking back and envying my life now, you never know.

6. Empty MRT trains make me HAPPY. Like the 7.25am Bishan train. Shh don't tell anyone about the empty 7.25am Bishan train. I'm so afraid one day it won't be empty anymore because everyone will take the 7.25am Bishan train.

7. Strangers smiling at me makes me happy. Okay that sounds weird. I don't mean weird strangers. I mean like maybe the old lady whom I gave up my seat for. She smiles and says thanks and that makes me feel appreciated, hence happy.

8. Sleeping in on weekends make me happy too! Although I always end up waking at 9am or earlier, but sleeping knowing that you don't necessarily have to wake up now is a great feeling, don't you think?

9. Food makes me happy. I like tiramisu, and salmon sushi, and Thai Express soft-shell crab curry rice, and Mos Burger Kakiage Rice Burger, and takopachi, and FRIED MUSHROOMS, and sweet watermelons, and Swensen's Chocolate Crunch, and B&J's Chunky Monkey, and Popeye's mashed potato, and CHOCOLATES, and tons of others. Which reminds me, tonsilitis means Porridge Days All Over Again. D: D:

10. Cards make me happy. Handmade cards especially! Handwritten postcards make me happy too, especially those full of words and it'll take me awhile to read it. My birthday's on 28 April, make me a card okay! :D

11. Going to the beach makes me happy. I won't mind the sun if I'm out there really to enjoy and sun and play in the sand and sea. I really want an outing out there sometime soon. Probably with a whole big group of friends. I can't remember the last time I played Captain's Ball already, I really like playing Captain's Ball!

12. Bathing makes me happy because I feel clean after that. I can't stand it when I haven't bathed for a day. I'll feel really sticky and I want to just dip myself in water and don't come out.

13. Good reads make me happy too because I like stories and I like reading things that keep me interested. Which reminds me, I haven't gone to the library in the longest of times. I must do it this weekend! Or borrow books from Sokmui. By the way, SOKMUI I can't even view your entries at your blog. I've to read it from the Page Source. And I only just read your blog today, so no, I didn't read the entry you deleted. ._.

14. I think riding in the cable car will make me happy, but I never tried it before. Because, I don't know, it's much cheaper to go into Sentosa via the $3 monorail. I'll try it someday, I guess.

15. Old stuff makes me happy! Like old trains that go into Malaysia, or old telephones, vintage television sets, vintage TOY ROBOTS ohmytian they're so cute! I'm not really vintagy, I don't know, they just make me happy.

Ohno! I'm done with the 15 things that make me happy? It's the 10 things that make me unhappy now! D:

10 TTMMU

1. I HATE FALLING SICK. Especially sore throats/coughs. Because that means I can't eat tiramisu, and salmon sushi, and Thai Express soft-shell crab curry rice, and Mos Burger Kakiage Rice Burger, and takopachi, and FRIED MUSHROOMS, and sweet watermelons, and Swensen's Chocolate Crunch, and B&J's Chunky Monkey, and Popeye's mashed potato, and CHOCOLATES, and tons others! D:

2. I hate long queues. I get impatient and will stop queuing unless my life depends on whatever I'm queuing for.

3. Beansprouts make me unhappy. Alot of beansprouts in a plate of beehoon makes me VERY unhappy because I've to pick out the beansprouts to eat the beehoon.

4. The monitor screen turning pink makes me unhappy too.

5. Breaking things makes me unhappy. Which is why I don't really like fragile stuff. I broke a glass bottle that I use to keep my movie stubs once and I cut myself trying to pick up the broken pieces. Plus, I've nowhere to keep my movie stubs after that. ._. (I bought another glass bottle in the end, so stubborn huh.)

6. Dogs that licks me makes me unhappy.

7. Toilets that flush on their own WHILE you're using it makes me unhappy. They scare you.

8. PORRIDGE DAYS ARE DEPRESSING. D: D: D:

9. Annoying people who are so full of themselves make me unhappy as well. Those who think they know everything, I can't stand it. And egoistic people, narcissistic or not.

10. Hunger makes me unhappy. And I'm hungry nowwwwwww.

Priscilla is done just when I'm done! Alright, time to post my exciting EE! You can read Priscilla's entry here! :D :D :D

Byebye!

A Long Unintended Entry

2009-02-23T20:49:00.002+08:00

Some photos tell stories.

I want to go round Singapore (because that's the furthest I can go) and take pictures that tell stories. I like telling stories, but I hate words.

I'm in the worst state I can be, lousy mood, lousy throat, lousy appetite, it's a lousy Monday. I lost my voice AGAIN. It's annoying, but comforting to know I don't have to talk when I don't want to, just because I lost my voice.

I think I'm such a hater. I hate alot of things. I hate hating things. I hate it that I'm a hater, but I still hate things anyway. Like I hate it that when I tell you something, you've to go all personal and take it upon yourself, and tell me what you think/what you experienced even when I didn't ask for it. HUH AARON HUH. Oh, I forgot he won't see this. He's in camp. Aw, be a happy botak!

I can't be bothered with some people because I think they just aren't worth the effort. I probably take friends too seriously, but my dad told me the other day it's not worth making a whole legion of friends when at the end of the day you don't know who is it you can trust. I thought he was pretty random, until my mum told me it's over some money matters between him and his uncle-gang of 150 members. Ha.

I didn't quite say anything to answer my dad because he wasn't really looking for a reply from me. He was just making a comment. But then he went on telling me he thinks I'll become like him, with too many people flooding his life until he can't tell if he's living for himself or is he there to be taken for granted for. I didn't know what to say so I just sat there staring at him. And stare, and stare. Then he laughed and walked away. ._.

I think my dad is a nice guy. He's the type that knows what to say to strangers, and can make friends with stallholders in markets and they'll like him enough to charge him really cheap. And I believe he has some really true friends too, those that I see and actually know who they are. He's a great friend who lives in Yishun and my parents call him Gao Ni, and he's a super nice uncle who's good with all sorts of things like fixing the door, or the lights, or a hole in the wall. So he's always a phone call away, and I'll always see him when our door knob drops out, or the lights dropped when my mum was trying to fix it back after washing.

I always hear my dad talking on phone with his friends, and although I never really know which friend he is talking to this time, I know those friends on the line with him are that few that I see often.

Why did I start talking about this?

You must be wondering why I'm always on the topic of friends and trust these days. I wish I can tell you, but I guess I can't. I don't know, maybe I'm too afraid of offending people, maybe I'm too afraid of the consequences.

But if I don't make an effort to keep up with you, or seem to have forgotten you exist, it probably means I don't want that legion of friends my dad talked about, that I don't think you're worth being a friend. OR, it may mean I'm busy.

I know how people talked about a larger social circle etc and how it's going to help you in your working adult life etc, but I don't know, I think I'll be a good kid and listen to my dad. I think he's unhappy being like that, and just as coincidentally, I'm unhappy being like that as well. I really don't like how sharing (not food, as in thoughts? And stuff) becomes a duty instead of a voluntary thing. Like the if you don't tell me your secret, we aren't friends kind of thing. Like what, fuck off lah.

It's true you talk about different things to different friends. I never denied that. Like it'll be weird if I discuss my latest crush with Priscilla. It's just weird. Just as it's weird if I ask Hanhui out for a picnic. I'll probably do a picnic with Ann, discuss my latest crush with Hanhui and talk about our futures with Priscilla. It just works that way, I don't know why.

Another thing is, the reason why I don't trust you may not necessarily be because I know you've said things you shouldn't about me. It may be because you've said things you shouldn't about OTHERS to me, and still act all chummy and nice to him/her upfront. I find that really sickening. They won't know what things you've said behind their backs, but I do. Can you at least be consistent in front of me?

Hence you can't blame me for thinking while you're chummy and nice to me upfront, you may be saying all the things you shouldn't behind. It's sickening to think I'm so petty, but I just am, and I can't help it that I draw such obvious conclusions.

I'm not really talking about a single person. If I think hard enough, which I try not to, I've met quite several people like that. What's not that bad is I aren't really close to them now. I've probably only seen one of them in the last 3 months.

I don't know what else to say. I guess if you think I'm talking about you, that means something already. But I think I still have a legion of great friends leh. ._. Ogay nevermind.

Long unintended entry!

Want Less

2009-02-22T23:25:00.002+08:00

I think I'm a very lucky person. I nearly always got what I wanted, I think. I never really had to work hard for anything. While there are families out there struggling to hold themselves together, I've got a family I can't say is great, but at least we're still alive and healthy for now, and for the near future perhaps, and I'm grateful for that. I've got parents who love me, though they're typical as of other Asian parents and they don't show it.

When I wanted to get into Anderson Sec because I like the name, I got in. I probably didn't study at all during primary school. Who did? But I was lucky, or I was smart. I was a smart kid, I guess, I was good with Maths. I made great true friends, and I'm really grateful for that.

If there's one only one thing I can be proud of, I say it's my friends. I'm really proud of my friends. I'm proud of our friendships because it's not just superficiality. It's not the we're going out together because we are what-and-what-group and I don't really like him but ohwell, he's supposed to be part of us, he can tag along but I hate him anyway. It's nothing like that.

It's not about just hanging out together and have fun. I do that sometimes. But on top of that, there's trust. I like having people I have no issues confiding in them. Who will really listen and process what you say to give you something of what they think. It helps, and even if it doesn't, it makes you feel better anyway.

I'm not saying I only made friends in Anderson. Of course I made friends outside of Anderson as well. I've got some great friends in NJ as well. But I don't know, what holds together for Anderson friends is this other thick layer of sentimentality for the old school. Like, we can't seem to stop talking our days in Anderson. I don't know why is that so.

When I wanted to get into NJ, I got in. I can't say I put in alot of effort in O's, I probably did, but I don't remember feeling like I deserve a place there. But I got it anyway, the red tie and all. And although the school rules of wearing the tie only once a year didn't change just because I'm there, I'm still glad I got into NJ, to some extent, because of the people I met there and the fun I wouldn't have if I'm somewhere else. When I wanted to be an OGL, I got it, although sometimes I can be really really not high, at all.

When I said I wanted to work at Chevron House, I got a job there, although it was only for two days. But I was lucky it was only for two days because I hated the working environment there during the two days. I saw all the office politics and I loathed it. Then I wished I got my job at Starhub, and I got it, and it's a great deal to me because I like the colleagues I have to work with. I think they're the nicest people in the whole Starhub already.

All these while, the guys I liked happen to like me too. Not many, a few. I doubt I really met with any real challenges, or problems that couldn't be solved. To me, everything's easy easy and that there must be a way out. Which is why I think I've been really lucky, really. And I ought to feel very blessed indeed.

I can't say I got every single thing I ever wanted in my life. I wanted alot other things. Like I wanted the whole of Singapore to be air-conditioned. I wanted to be only 1m away from Jay. I wanted alot of things, but I'm very glad with what I have now. I just realised how lucky I really am. I just realised we'll all be happy if we want fewer things, because we'll be more contented if we want less.

I met up with some friends today. Like Happy Botak AARON and Happy Hair HANHUI in the afternoon, and ABT at night. I had fried fish the whole day (Manhattan Fish for lunch + Fish and Co for dinner) and my sore throat's back. :( Plus all the screaming for JIA HUAAAAA. AHA. :)

Happy Botak deleted the freaky photos he took of himself. D: He's still a sad botak because he just booked in 4 hours ago. So tell him a joke when you're free, starting with Hi Happy Botak. I'm sure he'll cheer up. Happy Botak is BUD! Be a Happy Botak! :D

ABT photos at Fish and Co. another time! :D :D

12am! Good night. :)

Life

2009-02-21T00:53:00.004+08:00

It's 12.53am, it's a Saturday, I don't have work later, I feel sleepy and I don't feel like sleeping. I don't know why.

I feel like at 18, we should all be really enjoying ourselves but I don't know what exactly is my definition of enjoyment. Are late nights out with friends my idea of enjoyment? I don't think so. As much as I like being around people, I like being alone. I'm so ironic I feel like I'm overflowing with iron instead of what the doctor insists (he says I lack iron in my blood). Anyway, I don't know if I'm handling my life well. Getting a job that I don't mind, I mean, I like my job, I'm fine with it, but doesn't it always end up in a line of questions circling your mind, what if I'm not actually working now? Will I better spend my time elsewhere?

I don't know, but whatever I do, I feel like I should be doing something else. Like if I'm out with friends, I feel like I should be home spending more time alone, or with my family, watching my overdued recorded Spongebob episodes (I haven't watched last Saturday's you know, and it's this Saturday already), making cheesecakes, make some cards... Or go to the library to get a book before they freeze my account on 1st April due to $6.15 outstanding fines. Or clear my $6.15 library fines for that matter. Speaking of which, when was the last time I found time to read a good novel?

But, when I'm home, resting, when I'm not out with friends, I feel like I should be doing something more than just spending time on the computer, facebooking, blogging, blog-reading, jaying, watching videos. I feel like I should be out there, somewhere, doing something that makes me and people around me laugh.

I never seem to be happy with my position. It's very weird.

Like, when I'm watching a movie, I wish I'm eating Swensen's ice cream. When I'm eating Swensen's ice cream, I wish I'm singing KTV. When I'm at the KTV, I wish I'm home being my zai nu. When I'm home being zai nu, I wish I'm playing bridge with friends. When I'm playing bridge with friends, I wish I'm playing badminton... and the list never ends. I feel like I'm always doing what I felt like doing before, at a time when I least feel like doing it.

I don't know, what are we supposed to be doing this period of time, before results are out (which I believe is going to be out really soon, and I forgot I should be afraid of it). Working? Staying home? Learning driving?

I'm hungry.

*

On a completely different note, I think it's extremely difficult to meet somebody who has a real similar frequency as you. Like, feeling what you're feeling at the moment, similar reactions, similar mindsets, or even similar circle of friends and similar family backgrounds. I probably met someone like that before, a long time back. Alright maybe not.

It's 1.12am. My head's spinning, I must get some sleep.

Good night.

Eyecandy

2009-02-17T22:02:00.002+08:00

LOL you want to know something funny! This is really really funny!

My eyecandy at work held the door for me just now when I was leaving my workplace and I was happy so I couldn't stop smiling, and I forgot to thank him!

You know what's funnier!

My eyecandy is 40 years older than me!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Okay no, he's 9 years older than me, and I think none of my friends will think he's eyecandy material. But ohwell, I always know I've unique taste.

But I couldn't stop laughing after that because I can't believe I smiled to myself like an idiot and lost my usual calm cool cucumber composure and at least say thanks lah! Haiyo. Now my eyecandy that's 9 years older must think I'm rude. D:

Alright, no, he's 40 years older. Or maybe not. LOL.

Nope! He's not married, or he will fall under the Uncles-or-Uncles-Going-to-Be category which spells carrying durians in red plastic bags at MRT stations and/or lots of frowns all day long so he won't be my eyecandy anymore. Alright he's 9 years older... maybe not!

._.

WHY AM I STILL SO HIGH EVEN WHEN I ONLY DRANK HALF A CUP OF HL MILK TONIGHT?!!

And the weather is back to its horrible self! Xmas wish 1994 is rain tomorrow again please! Anyway, I didn't become a thousand dollars richer today nor did I felt like I had more than enough sleep! So wishes 1992 and 1993 didn't come true at all! SEE I knew it! Christmas wishes don't come true! But I still wish that it'll rain tomorrow! Don't disappoint me again Santa! Ohmygod! This whole paragraph has 10 exclaimation marks altogether! Amazing isn't it!

Okay byebye.

Xmas wishes

2009-02-16T22:41:00.002+08:00

It came true! Ohyes it rained today! GLORIOUS RAIN! AND THE WIND YES THE WIND.

So Christmas wishes do come true!

For my 1992 Xmas wish, I wish that I'm a millionaire! ._. Okay we shouldn't be greedy. Uh. A thosandaire then. LOL thousandaire sounds really funny. Haha!

Alright, for my 1992 Xmas wish, I wish that I'll find time to get my grey highlights/extensions, without missing any dates with long time never see you friends.

For my 1993 Xmas wish, I hope tonight will be secretly double the hours so I get double the very little sleep I can get later. :D Yes, I hope the little black men (were they little?) from Momo will not steal our time away while we're asleep tonight but instead return us the stolen time!

Alright! What's wrong with me! I'm hyperventilating! Oh! It's the milk!

Good night!

koko crunch lah.

2009-02-15T22:11:00.002+08:00

You know when I'm blogging a second post of the day it's either because I'm bored or because what I'm going to blog about is something HUGE and affects me alot/makes me angry/makes me emo etc.

I'm very very very very very very very very very annoyed at something.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WEATHER THESE DAYS.

WHY. IS. IT. SO. KOKO. CRUNCH. HOT.

I can't stand it really. I can stay totally still at home in the afternoon, like totally still, breathe in breathe out, and still perspire right after I bathe. I can set the air-con at 20degrees celsius and still wake up in the middle of the night feeling like someone just poured hot water on me. ._. Okay that's exaggerated, but you get my point.

And what's wrong with Sokmui? Must be because of her talking whole day and night about no sun no sun no sun THAT'S WHY NOW SO MUCH SUN LAH! D: Sokmui you can have all the sun but don't kill the rain with your latest killer tactics please! D:

Okay I'm done. My Christmas wish is that it rains tomorrow. Nevermind Christmas isn't exactly uh near. I'm making up for Xmas 1991, I didn't make a wish that year ogay. :)

So hope it rains tomorrow! :D

PHOTOS FOR YOUR EYES

2009-02-15T12:45:00.002+08:00

The last time I posted photos was gasp! A really long time ago! If you don't count the photo of my adorable antibiotic because that's ONE photo and not really photoS. So I guess I should post some pictures, somehow. ._.

A dead long time ago, I went to Sentosa to watch the flowers that the TV kept talking about. It's nothing as nice as what they say lor. The flowers were disappointing, they were mainly repeated, and the crowd is so overwhelming you'll take forever if you want to queue to take pictures with the flower bench, or the flower heart shaped, or etc.

Anyway, I went there with Weilong to celebrate Chinese New Year cum Singlehood Wan Sui. Sadly, I realised we didn't take any photos together because the only photos I took was of the flowers, and of the Sakae lunch which he treated to celebrate Chinese New Year cum Singlehood Wan Sui.

Some photos taken that day.

There's a new can-I-call-it-a-shop place at Vivo that's huge. It's a National Geographic uh-shop that National Geographicy stuff. That's a pair of shining globes I found there. I remember they aren't as expensive as they look, I think.

Photographs of frogs. I was :O that frogs aren't just green. There are purple frogs can you believe it!

Cute furry penguins. (:

The first flowers we saw! I think the hot pink flowers look really plastic.

Imbiah station was open that day. It's IMBIAH, NOT IMBAH. Weilong kept making that joke, I was so annoyed.

The lovers' bench I was saying. There's a queue if you want to take photos there. We didn't queue up because like me, he can't stand the sun and in any case, we aren't lovers and we both shudder at that thought.

Swans made of white little flowers SO CUTE. And yes! I've no idea what's the guy on the right doing either, he's probably smelling the flowers? LOL I don't know!

A very small waterfall.

Oh well, when we finally reached a little civilisation called Air-con, I was about to do Yamaha cheers.

Doesn't everything look so cool and pretty from inside an air-con place!

The sakae we went to wasn't the usual one with conveyor belts full of sushi sitting on it running round you. It's teppanyaki style so we didn't really know how to order so we ended up with alot, alot of food. This one here is udon in tofu skin and it looked really nice and cute in the picture but we felt so cheated because the serving was small and the soup was tasteless. D:

Salmon sashimi cheers me up though!

There were alot others and I'm really lazy to post pictures of them because all these photos make me hungry and I haven't eaten lunch and the good thing is tonsillitis are much better today! Yay!

Anyway, THANK YOU WEILONG for that wonderful lunch. I know it cost alot but TOO BAD EHHEY.

When we finally concluded that the whole flowers thing was a hoax and there are so few flowers to see, we decided to do something more constructive.

Like skyriding.

The ride up. Weilong wanted really badly to try the luge back down. See that black thing hanging from the seats? You can choose to take the skyride back, or you take the luge back. Which is like sitting in that black thing and sliding your way down some winding path. I thought it was really stupid and I don't want to wear the helmets that others wore in that sweating heat. So I was adamant and he had no choice.

Sentosa looks like any other stupid jungle from up there.

Skyriding back.

Then we left Sentosa when it suddenly looked like it was going to rain. Weilong left to meet his mother and I'm left stranded because I'm meeting a group of friends later for dinner.

That's about the only successful group photo where we got everyone's face and the photo is not blur.

We had Carl's Junior for dinner and then we wasted time away at Ben and Jerry's talking nonsense.

On an entirely random note, I saw this picture while looking for the one above and take a look!

I like my red piano bag alot. But I'm starting to believe it's really quite expensive and I should have tried sewing it myself, fail, then buy it. Then I'll be more convinced it's that worth it.

So, that was one day.

*

On another one random day, I FINALLY MET UP WITH GILLIAN AND CHUNYING to fulfill our age old KBOX date.

Us, with classic faceless yay pose.

That's Sandy with gillian's fedora. :D

gillian was high because she jumped onto the sofa!

:D :D :D

We have upside-down mics the way Jielun does in An Hao MV! :D

Sometimes I wonder how will it be like if I've never made these two impossibly crazy friends. Alright, they aren't crazy on their own, actually I aren't crazy on my own either. But we go crazilly happy together. Aw, ogay I'm getting sentimental. -shys

Bird nest's hair! :D

After that, I was meeting ABT for our annual Lau Yu Sheng huat ah so friends of ABT came along as well! :)

We had alot of people, what, 15? So we had to join two big round tables. And the furthest person away from me was so, far.

The only decent photo I have of the yusheng because it was so far. ._.

Our dinner yum! :D

I love my ABT! :D Ohno, thinking about it makes me smile to myself, especially Fiona's rendition of Jeremy and his Awesome Sports day! HAHAHAHA.

Yongkiat and his successful jump shot! :D

Jenna and Jaslyn took a picture together... and suddenly Yongyuan and Spiky were being spastic selves!

Fiona and non-ABT Zhiwei and Tracie! Omg they are so funny! They do visa jiggles out of nowhere can! -hides

And the Sun Wukong pose! :D

So, that was another day.

*

OKAY I'm boycotting posting photos because it makes me hungry. D:

For photos of my recent class gathering at Yixin's house, you can read my class blog here.

Just a final photo before I go!

I made these yesterday out of the hotcakes I couldn't finish to prove that the hotcakes are not sad that I can't finish them! Hahahaha! So cute right! :D

Alright, byebye, I'm so hungry. D:

Of This and That

2009-02-14T22:28:00.002+08:00

For Valentine's Day this year, I want lozenges, honey liang teh and anything to make the horrible tonsillitis (it's nothing as cute as it sounds!) go away.

Because of T, I can't:
1. Eat proper. Today was the first day since Tuesday I had something that doesn't start with a P and ends with orridge. Still, hotcakes with minimal butter and close to no honey, and I can't even finish that.
2. Swallow anything for that matter without cursing.
3. What am I saying? I can't even curse.

*

Of family, I'm always saying I want to spend more time with my family, which doesn't seem to be happening because I'm working 830am-6pm daily on weekdays, and my weekends are packed with dates with friends. But then again, even if I'm home everyday (like the past four days), the only family member I actually spend more time with is my mother, because my father will be at work and my siblings all have their own stuff to do, work or study. At night they're either sleeping or they aren't home when I go to bed or this or that. I can live with my sister in the same house and not say anything to her for weeks. Oh well.

Sometimes I hear about my siblings complaining about my parents and I wonder why they just can't get along. Sometimes I get annoyed at my parents, and it scares me that I may one day become like my siblings, secretly hating my parents, I don't want to be like that. And it makes me wonder if I got annoyed because of me, because of my parents, or because I'm led to do so by my siblings. It's confusing.

*

Of friends, I think trust is an amazing thing. It's not something that comes by and by as and when you want it. I may be friends with you for 10 years, but it doesn't mean that I've that trust in you. Still, I rather it be that way, that time is used as a measure of trust. Because so often I've thought I could trust someone when I couldn't.

The saddest thing is when he/she doesn't know it. Like, sometimes when I tell you something, it's understood that I don't want you to go round telling everybody. You probably think I won't know, I hope I won't know you went round telling people too. But someday someone will mention it, have you considered what I'll think?

When that does happen, I don't usually pursue it. Like I won't go back to you and ask you why did you tell so-and-so what-and-what, because I didn't say you can't tell so-and-so what-and-what, although it's pretty understood that way. But, I'll still remember it and I'll guard against that person in future. Except that I forget about guarding sometimes. And the same thing repeats, and repeats, and repeats.

You know, some people ask purely because they are curious, or they are concerned, or they want to talk to you, purely. But some people ask so you'll become the topic they can talk about to some other person they call a friend. That's one thing I can't stand, talking behind somebody else's back. I can't say I don't do it entirely. I'm always talking about others to Priscilla, we exchange things we know about people each other haven't seen in a long while. That's rather different, I guess.

Anyway, all I want to say is, I believe there are some people who are worth being best friends forever because they are true and so they're love. Then there are those who are friends only when they need friends, and there are those who you can't really call friends at all.

I feel sorry for myself that I've come to realise that only today. I'm at a stage where I feel like ditching friends, or I should say ditching people I've been calling friends but I don't really feel friendly.

*

Of love and such, I think if you're lucky enough to find someone who knows you really well, AND here's the important bit, understands, AND feels the same as well, if you can ever find someone who's of that similar a frequency as you, who will want to stay home when you want to stay home, who will want to do the same things as you at the same time, who will know what you're thinking because he'll be thinking the same things, I think that's more than anyone can ask for.

Another thing is, don't you think lies are so horrible? They make you believe in things that aren't true, do you know how scary it is to believe in things that are not true, huh? HUH? No? Isn't it scary if I keep saying, I believe in Sandy, I believe in Sandy, I believe in Sandy...

That's beside the point.

*

Reflective post. OMG I CAN SEE MYSELF.

Alright it's so late. I'm totally home alone tomorrow. Plans out are cancelled because tonsillitis are tony-annoying. Mahjong/DVDs/watch me die at my house tomorrow anyone?

Tonsils

2009-02-12T10:39:00.003+08:00

I always thought it's just a throat inflammation, although I found it a little weird because the last fried thing I ate was I-can't-even-remember-when. ._. Today I woke up feeling like Jiahao's head is on my body. My, I never knew he has it that tough. Now I know how it feels like to have a heavy head. What's worst is I lost my voice completely, I can't even qualify for Ah Du or Aaron Kwok. And each time I swallow my saliva I felt like Jigsaw is jabbing a surgical knife down my throat.

So I went to see another doctor, which is next door to the doctor I saw on Tuesday. He's the better doctor so to speak because the medicine he prescribes works wonders, and I would have gone to him first if not because the prices are so so high. He told me I've got a very bad case of tonsillitis, and I wanted to laugh because tonsillitis sounded funny. But no laughter came out and I choked instead. ._. Anyway, I wanted to ask him what's tonsillitis but he can't hear me. I had to tap the table and lean forward and say with all my mighty might, what's that. To which he replied what's what? and I decided to forget it. ._.

So I came home and googled tonsils and found tonsillitis and found out it just means infection in the tonsils, caused by bacteria, virus etc. I couldn't get past the second paragraph because I still think tonsillitis sounds funny.

Anyway, the doctor gave me another two days MC and told me to drink more water, rest more and don't raise my voice. Which is funny because the last time I raised my voice was I-can't-even-remember-when. He gave me more antibiotics, some medicine for the fever, lozenges, and this bottle of thing for me to gurgle.

Which is the whole point of my post because THAT THING IS SO DAMN GROSS. It's called chlorohexidine. C22H30Cl2N10. And it's a chemical most commonly used in mouth wash, like Listerine, or Oral-B. But what he gave me was pure chlorohexidine, without the fresh minty taste ogay. It's DAMN GROSS LAH. The aftertaste in your mouth is like a mixture of acid and alcohol (ester! Right? ._.) and contact lens solution and bittergourd LOL okay I don't know how to describe it. It's just very gross.

And you know what! It cost me $49. D: As in, the total cost lah. Not just the chlorohexidine. On Tuesday, the lousy medicine that didn't work cost me $23. Why medicine so expensive. D:

._.

Meh.

The happy thing is the cute antibiotic I got on Tuesday? I guess I don't have to finish it now that I'm on another course of antibiotics. :)

I'm Updating!

2009-02-10T20:46:00.002+08:00

YES I'm finally blogging after a week.

Uh.

Byebye!

Oh, a picture of my really cute antibiotic!

It's purple and beige, I can't bear to eat it! :(

I took near 2hours to complete this post, while multi-tasking a mountain of other things. ._.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

2009-02-03T21:30:00.002+08:00

is a really good movie. Nope I haven't finished watching it yet, I only watched like 1hr40mins of the 2hrs40mins show but I love it! I love the plot, the setting the whole cinematography everything. And I think Brad Pitt is great as Benjamin, I don't know why Sokmui doesn't like him.

In any case, I've decided to not finish the movie because I'm watching it again in the cinema probably some time next week with Aaron and probably Hanhui, if he doesn't have to stay at Kino.

TCCBB is one of the very few movies that leaves an impact, I think. The other one is of course The Diving Bell and the Butterfly that you always hear me talking about. Serious, I can't find a single fault in that movie, and too many parts make me tear. What's amazing about Bell is you won't get carried away by the movie. At the end of it all, you'll be thinking and reflecting about yourself. It's that impactful.

Oh, and recently I watched V for Vendetta, a 2005 movie and I like the movie although I don't know why. It's a pretty lame plot, abit like Orwell's 1984, except they make it England. So you're supposed to think the government of England is evil and nasty. Too far-fetched, but I still think the movie's good. It's a really long movie though, and the ending, although happy, is sloppy. Like, the bad guy died and that's that.

It's almost 10pm and I'm very tempted to finish watching TCCBB.

My Fancy

2009-01-30T22:19:00.002+08:00

I painted her a gushing thing,
With years about a score;
I little thought to find they were
A least a dozen more;
My fancy gave her eyes of blue,
A curly auburn head:
I came to find the blue a green,
The auburn turned to red.

Do you remember how when you're young, you'll believe that because of some good thing you do, some good person/fairy/fairy godmother/angel/genie will grant you three wishes and you will wish for things you want using the first two wishes, and then for the last wish you'll wish for three more wishes and the story repeats?

Which proves my point, kids are stupid!

Alright fine! That wasn't my point. But anyway, I think I've grown out of thinking all kids are cute (Sokmui why are you smirking?), BUT I think all kids SHOULD be cute. Like, cute and cuddly and they can cry, of course. But they shouldn't wail. And they should be easy to coax. If they're ugly, and noisy, and selfish, and kiasu, we should look at their parents and go TSK TSK WHY YOUR CHILDREN LIKE THAT, and then convince them to launch Project Change My Kid or something like that.

What's my point?

I can't stand kids who INSIST they've all the right to run into you (literally), bang you here and there, AND FROWN AT YOU. Ohprawnrolls, doesn't that sound SO FAMILIAR? It's exactly like the uncle carrying durians and walking into people at the MRT station! The only difference is I can't blame kids because well, they're kids. And if they're cute, I wouldn't mind. I'll go, barney stop banging my knee...ohawawawwwwwww CUTE! And I'll forgive him/her there and then because he/she is cute.

BUT if he/she isn't, but is instead some spoilt brat who can't see where he's walking because he's so engrossed with his PSP game, I feel like ripping the waterbottle he carries round his shoulder and running away with it like EYHEY YOU CAN'T CATCH ME because I can obviously run faster than him (I think) because I've longer legs and I LOVE bullying kids that annoy the hell out of me because THEY SHOULD GET A TASTE OF HOW ANNOYING THEY ARE.

There was this day end of last year where I went for one of my grandmother's death anniversaries ceremonial things, I probably mentioned it before? Anyway, there's these three kids who are super cute, they're my cousin's children. And that cousin is one of the rare few that I like and don't mind talking to, except he's about 40years old. ._. Anyway, he married a Filipino and his children are drop-dead gorgeous, with long eye lashes and huge eyes. There's a pair of sisters, and a little boy. THEY'RE SO CUTE. So I kept playing with them.

But then, there's this other older girl, who's primary 4. She's the daughter of another one of my cousins, who is tops in My Most Hated Relatives. And she's not cute at all. You may think I'm really mean to say that, but it's not just looks that matter. HER CHARACTER. Ohmyholybakwa, not cute at all.

So anyway, I wanted to play with the three cute kids, but the not cute girl kept hanging out with them. But I ignored her and play with the three cute kids. Okay this will get confusing. Let's call the not cute girl NCG, for Not cute girl. NCG kept circling me and asking me why is my hair so long, and being nice (at first), I told her things like, oh because it's not short, because I like long hair etc.

And then she started saying she wants to tie my hair, so she wanted me to let down my hair so she can retie it to holybakwa I don't know what it'll become. I said NO, because I didn't like her. And she started pulling and tugging my hair. So I stood up so she couldn't reach it, but she started jumping and pulling away my rubberband.

Fuck, I was super angry, at a primary 4 girl, yes.

The most rubberbandish thing is SHE DOESN'T GET IT THAT I'M ANGRY. She'll think it's fun and whatever and run around with my rubberband saying if I want it I've to catch her (that sounds like what I just said...nevermind). So being really angry, I just grabbed her and said STOP IT, GIVE IT BACK and gave my deadliest look that could have killed any sane living thing besides ugly kids.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT NCG DID! YOU KNOW WHAT SHE DID! She threw my rubberband into the air and watched it drop on the floor. KNN, HOW CAN I GET BULLIED BY A PRIMARY 4 KID. HOW CAN. YOU TELL ME. HOW CAN I TAKE IT.

So I made her pick it up and return it to me. But she wouldn't, and she ran away.

YOU THINK I SO GOOD TO BULLY IS IT.

Stupid kids run round in circles you know. I just have to wait on the other side of the wall for her to appear. And then I caught her and gave her a really good scolding, in an adultish kind of way. Like explaining to her what she's just done. Okay lah, I was really harsh, BUT I wasn't vulgar at all. I was like,

When I say Stop it, you jolly well stop it. You want to play, you run to some other deserted corner to play. My hair is not your playground. And my rubberband is NOT your toy. MY rubberband belongs to ME, and you just threw something that belongs to ME on the floor. I GAVE YOU A CHANCE TO APOLOGISE, BUT YOU DIDN'T. You need to know what you just did is really childish and silly.

I stopped when she didn't look like she was going to cry. Not harsh enough meh? :(

Stupid NCG. D:

Dyes

2009-01-30T20:42:00.002+08:00

I want to dye my hair ash gray but I don't want people to stare.

I think I'll make do with a simpler colour. I can't stand highlights, they're neither here nor there, I don't know.

I think this happens to people when they've too much time to spare, too few things to do. You will want to do things that don't matter. But no leh, I think hair dying (sounds weird?) is a big thing because

1. I've been saying I won't do it because it'll spoil the hair.
2. But I realise hair grows. So I can spoil this hair and new hair grows.
3. I'm sick of long hair.
4. But I hate short hair.
5. Actually I hate soft hair.
6. It's so soft it can't stand on its own.
7. Okay hair that stands on its own is pretty creepy. -hair stands
8. But you see, that's not my point again.
9. You see, I don't really know what I want.
10. Which brings me back to the emo post some two three weeks ago saying we all don't know what we want.
11. And all these stems (pun!) from the topic of hair.
12. But I still want to dye my hair.
13. And ash gray yo.
14. But I don't want people to stare.
15. And I start repeating myself like that.
16. Maybe I should highlight gray.
17. BUT I SAID I HATE HIGHLIGHTS.
18. Ohwell, highlights not that obvious so people won't stare.
19. Or maybe I can just do extensions.
20. Since Ann did it for $15 (hers wasn't gray though).
21. I can do it for $50 if I really want to gray so much.
22. Alright I'll do it.
23. Ann where did you do your extensions?
24. Then I might as well dye? Will it be cheaper?
25. And dye can last longer right?
26. I feel like Krishna.
27. Engaging in a internal monologue.
28. Transcendence ftw.
29. That's beside the point, again.
30. Ohmans, I want messy hair.
31. People with messy hair want neat hair.
32. But people with neat hair want messy hair.
33. This is a complicated world.
34. Actually nobody wants neat or messy hair.
35. Because we all don't know what we want.
36. Which brings me BACK to that same emo entry about we all not knowing what we really want.
37. But I know I want ash gray hair.
38. Like, I don't know, some guy from Final Fantasy.
39. Or that cool guy I saw at Causeway Point two or three years ago, that made me want ash gray hair ever since.
40. But I don't want people to stare.
41. And this is my third time saying the same thing.
42. Actually I've already decided haven't I.
43. I'll highlight ash gray lor.
44. Although I'm the one who said highlights are neither here nor there.
45. Ohprawnrolls, we live in a world where we're too bothered by what people think.
46. And I hate people staring.
47. It makes me want to drill holes into their eyes and stick straws in them and pull out their eyeballs to make eye lollies.
48. That scene is so Happy Tree Friends.
49. Oooooh I like Happy Tree Friends.
50. I'll highlight my hair gray, how exciting! :D

There, 50 points to show you how big a thing dying hair is.

If there's such thing as getting fined for overdued photos, I think I'm bankrupt already. But then again, Sokmui keeps complaining all the photos on my blog jams up her com ~~and she can't track the whereabouts of her next victim~~ so I shouldn't post too many photos. :)

Ash gray ~~hair~~ highlights! :( ... :D

Limiang!

2009-01-29T22:53:00.002+08:00

Being a very good friend, I've decided to blog even though I really don't feel like blogging just because Limiang the Limiang the Limiang the IQ 47 Limiang complained saying she doesn't have anything to read when she's bored at work, thus she's forced to Viwawa and she got seen by somebody of a high rank and that somebody told somebody else and then I forgot how the story ended.

So I'm blogging purely for the sake of Limiang.

Limiang thinks that EGGS are grown. As in, like harvested, by farmers. I think that's super retarded. But since her IQ is that low, we shall forgive her and teach her proper. So, Limiang, are you ready for your first lesson by Smart Me?

Here goes.

FIRSTLY, you can only harvest crops, which in case you're wondering, are PLANTS. And EGGS are NOT PLANTS. EGGS come from chickens, who lay them. And chickens come from EGGS when they hatch. It's beyond your intelligence to figure out which comes first, eggs or chickens. I don't expect you to know that either but you should at least know EGGS ARE NOT HARVESTED BY FARMERS, EVEN IF IT'S FARMER C. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

And I realised there's no secondly because a single point explains everything. It's a great mystery as to why Limiang will think eggs are planted. Maybe she's seen egg seeds somewhere, have you Limiang? :D

*

I've got about 7000 photos to post from KBOX date with gillian and chunying last Thursday, and CNY lau yu sheng-ing with ABT last Thursday, and Sentosa flowers-watching date with Weilong today, and dinner with a random group of people just now.

But you see, I really don't feel like blogging. It's Limiang's retardedness that drove me to this. I feel the NEED to blog about her thinking eggs are harvested. It's like, the epitome of bimboness. Woosah.

Oh. I saw Perrine today (Priscilla, yes your 4/4 classmate). She was working in Sentosa! ._. Weilong and I were buying tickets for the skyride (awesome waste of time, funny nonetheless) and the person at the counter said EH HI to me and I looked at her nametag, thought for a really long time and said HI back. I never recalled who she really is until I was midway in the air. Aha, I don't know her what. ._. Wait, there's such a person from 4/4 right? Or did she come from somewhere else?

I was really happy to see Andersonians, especially if we know each other (we don't really know each other but ohwell, she remembered me). :)

I hope Limiang doesn't read this entry tonight so she can have something to read tomorrow when she's working so she won't be forced to play Viwawa.

Bye!

Woosah

I'm sick of blogging.

Till I feel like blogging again.

Days

2009-01-25T22:53:00.001+08:00

I am veraciously terrified about Results Day.

I try not to think about it but we all know we have to face it that day, that nearing day, don't we?

I want to talk to buddy. D:

花海

ABT ♥♥♥

2009-01-24T08:51:00.002+08:00

I want to tell you about my exciting Thursday, but the photos aren't uploaded yet so I'll tell you something else.

I was looking at photos and thinking, why are there so many photos of ABT. We don't camwhore (except when rare people like Ruth appear and we take turns to take photos with her), and we don't take a legion of photos each time we go out.

But look.

There are the very very old ones like this. We all look so small don't we. That's taken when I was Sec1. My, those scary trainings where we'll all turn siao zha bos because we can't tell who he's trying to shout for. Sadly, that's about the only group photo we really took during training. Were there any others?

We have random court pictures like these. With Yongyuan on the phone, Ruth reading newspapers, Jaslyn crystallising into salt crystals and me hanging my towel dry. We didn't pose for the picture. ._.

And Wilson and Yongkiat lying side by side each other. Were they just tired or... what? Haha.

And Spiky who'll pose for any picture to be taken of him rain or shine. :D

I don't even remember which CCA openhouse this was. One of those where I wasn't around anymore, I guess. Probably two years ago.

Where did we go then? Was it at Cine? Lol, I don't even know whether this place is still there. That was when we celebrated Weeyang's and Wilson's birthdays three years ago, in June 2006. My, it really seems like a long time ago.

Badminton camp 2006, which was probably the only camp that we ever had. Which can't really be counted as a camp anyway because it's only a day camp and we had to go home at night. Which didn't really happen because we went to Pasir Ris park to waste the night away because we felt very losers going home.

Spiky sang the morning exercise song. LOL.

CLASSIC. :D Farewell 2006, about the only time when EVERYONE (including Charm) turned up. Heh.

Chalet 2006. That was the best chalet I had because of the seniors juniors and of course those in our batch. :D We bbq-ed in the rain, beat that!

Celebrating Spiky's birthday, 2007.

That's B'team06 that went for the Seoul Garden outing on 6th April 2007, along with many other seniors.

That's the group photo.

2007 June was also when we did crazy things like surprising four people in a row with belated birthday presents and such.

Following which, the next day we found ourselves at Settler's.

I remember searching high and low for a specific Gundam that Yongkiat likes and it was horrendous because all the gundams goddamn look alike. ._. And I remember how Wilson was duped into getting his own birthday cake. Haha!

One day, we went Vivocity to catch a movie. We ended up watching The Holiday because Jenna said she heard it's quite a good movie. It turned out to be some cheesy romance flick and it was super weird because we were seated in two rows, the girls were behind the guys. Imagine watching a 2hr romance plot with 4 guy friends sitting around you (you're a guy). Weird huh?

Surprising Jenna on her birthday, 2007. SHE WAS IN PYJAMAS, LOL MEGA CLASSIC. :D :D

Some days, we meet up just to play badminton. :)

That's CNY 2008. We did the same things this year, only the photos aren't uploaded yet. :D

Celebrating Spiky's birthday 2008. I like the group photo alot. I think we all look really warm and cozy. :D

19th July, when we met up to play badminton and celebrate tons of belated birthdays together. Haha.

And the recent outing at Decoder's. It's great seeing them after pretty long a time. :D (And Weeyang has been turning up for outings! :O) Heh. :D

Will continue with our CNY 2009 pictures when they are uploaded! :D

I've been waiting for so long.

2009-01-23T11:52:00.002+08:00

《龙战骑士》MV news report. Woohmygawd, he used 550,000 TWD to shoot this MV. THAT IS SGD$24,616. FOR A 5MIN MV. WALAO. :D

And hoolah.

Will I Cry or Will I Weep?

2009-01-21T21:58:00.003+08:00

Everything I'm not made me everything I am.

I'm sick of not knowing what I want, from where I'm headed after results day to what I want for lunch to whatnots, I'm sick of not knowing how to manage myself. Are you?

What is wrong today?

2009-01-20T21:36:00.002+08:00

You know those days when you yearn for a change but end up repeating the things you do time and again, when you plan your whole entire wedding in your mind with a question mark face for the groom, when you dream up scenarios and then dream up filming these scenarios into a movie and them dream up filming yourself filming these scenarios into a movie...

Today is one of those days. It feels like a sewing machine on auto mode, unconvincingly posing as a train running on dark black fuel like chiga chiga chiga chiga chiga. I don't make sense. My mind's not making sense today.

*

The KBOX site is not working on my com. Is it working on yours? Ohno, I've to rely on IWeekly for the time slots for Thur KTV with gillian who sticks pick-up sticks into her hair and act Wolverine and chunying who does body origami when she's bored and her latest creation is a crane, yes, she folded herself into a crane. Duh, that's not possible. Don't trust me.

What's wrong with me today?

*

Oh. I'm excited about Thursday because I'm going K with gillian who sticks pick-up sticks into her hair and act Wolverine and chunying who does body origami when she's bored and her latest creation is a crane, yes, she folded herself into a crane. Duh, that's not possible. Don't trust me. Did I just repeat myself. Yea! I did. That's in the day by the way.

I'm meeting ABT yay at night for our LAU YU SHENG which we did last year and are doing this year and maybe we can do it every year? :D I'm happy because although I just kinda saw them that day when we went Decoder's we met for only a couple of hours the other time and I left early for a housewarming and didn't have time to talk alot so I feel like I haven't really met them and ohmy, this is a really long sentence.

What's wrong with me today, oh I asked that already.

*

I'm having rashes and I don't remember eating sotong. For breakfast today, I had nasi lemak with otah and long beans and some chicken. Besides, the rashes won't take THAT long to surface so i doubt it's nasi lemak that's causing the rashes.

For lunch today, I had, what did I have? Oh, I had Al Funghi at Pastamania, and mushroom soup and some lemon tea. Mushrooms don't give me rashes or I'll have rashes really often since I eat alot of mushrooms. So I don't think that's what gave me rashes too.

In between lunch and dinner, I had half a cup of coffee ice cream, and I can't be allergic to ice cream because ice cream CAN'T contain sotongs, duh. I also had one piece of Golden Coin chicken ba kwa, and chicken can't contain sotongs, so that can't be it either.

For dinner, I had guo tiao tang with chicken breast meat, mushrooms (again), crabsticks and one slice of pork that accidentally got into my bowl although I told my mum I didn't want pork. There wasn't sotong either.

And then I had a bowl of bird's nest and I can't be allergic to that because if I am, I'll be really sad since I like bird's nest alot. D:

My conclusion is the rashes are a result of... I don't know, maybe a mosquito bit a sotong and it bit me after that? That explains alot.

Aren't you sick of reading things that don't matter? How is reading SO many paragraphs about my diet and how it DOES NOT concern my rashes affect your resolutions and your decisions and the paths you undertake? No impact right? You just wasted your time AGAIN right?

-points and laughs at you

Go sleep lah.

Happy Birthday Darling

2009-01-18T13:19:00.002+08:00

For the last many years, my life revolved around one person. I fret over him alot, maybe too much. He has always been there for me, O'levels or A'levels or at any other level. He keeps me company like none other.

I listen to him alot, I do only what he says, do only what he does, he's always been my idol.

I attended all his concerts, bought all his albums, collected his books, his merchandise, posters, magazines... I cry when he says he's happy his hard work paid off. I listen to his tracks about 9000 times over the first week I got hold of the songs.

I ♥ Jielun. :)

Homecoming09

2009-01-18T12:19:00.003+08:00

It's so apt. It really felt like going back home, for me and I bet for many many ex-Andersonians who went back there yesterday. Anderson got a new Indoor Sports Hall! Fiona, it's not lame! Now Anderson badminton got a real sports hall to train in! (Do they get to use it?) Heh. :D

Other than ogling at the sports hall (and M! HAHA!), chunying and I went round the school looking at things we used to see everyday. Except they're abit different now because why arh. Why are Andersonians always decorating the school to ridiculous extents?

Like, the toilet became a tribal cove. ._. And every two steps you take you see something on the wall, either a painting, or a collage, or a poster, or something else. AND how come there are nice cozy areas for them to study now. Last time also don't have. D:

Ogay, I kept repeating myself to chunying yesterday. I really wish I'm like Sec2 again now. (Then I won't seem like a pedophile when I gawk at M :D) Really, I wish I'm an Andersonian again.

The Anderson Theatre Circle (or is it just Drama Club?)! They are so cute, omg, it makes me really want to make them laugh to see how professional they can stay acting creepy. Haha!

We were early because we wanted to walk around the school to look look see see. It was also Anderson's CCA openhouse yesterday and chunying wanted to act Sec1 so people will give us brochures and flyers. Haha okay no, she didn't. I wanted to act Sec1 but everybody ignored me. D:

After n years, the Anderson choir is STILL using the same gown. LOL.

Chinese Dance takes up alot of wall space in school because they really print/drew alot alot of posters to paste on the walls. So I concluded they must be the most hardworking CCA in school. (I only saw 3 posters telling me Anderson DOES have badminton as a CCA...) Haha.

They were selling Anderson jackets! I almost wanted to buy them just because it's Anderson. But I decided against it because the colours are really pretty bumblebee and it's something I won't wear. ._.

Somebody drew bamboos on the wall! (: So pretty isn't it. :D

Outside the hall, the NPCC was lining in straight rows... facing the wall. chunying concluded they were mian bi si guo-ing and really leh, why are they facing the wall? ._.

♥ :D :D

The clouds are so pretty they look fake don't they! The school was bustling with activities all round and we got to see people playing basketball! No shuai ones though (the shuai one's playing badminton... heh). :)

Our new ISH! Four more courts, don't need to share with table tennis liao. :D

They have the electronic scoreboard too. So cools right! :D

Heh. :D :D :D

Band members acting shen shen mi mi. Haha.

SJAB members acting injured.

And then chunying and I walked on to the deserted classroom blocks to huai nian the good old times. :)

The glass display place that was used to display our artistic talents etc. (My freaky looking Bubbles music instrument LOL was once displayed there!) Now it's filled with calligraphy writings which I figured must be written by our China scholars. So pretty! :D

Science block! :D

The spiral staircase which really brings back alot of memories. Remember how back in the past there used to be SO MANY ghost stories revolving (pun!) around the spiral staircase? Lol.

INSPIRETOWN! Omg I really miss this place. All the overnight movie marathons, HUANG LAO SHI'S CHINESE LESSONS IN THERE. Those were really GOOD old times. Meh I want to be an Andersonian again.

Used to be quadrangle is now called the amphitheatre. Aha. Space for us to run about. And for those Anderson live bands to play and showoff. :)

Anderson! ♥ ♥ ♥

THE LIBRARY!! I felt so happy when I saw the library opened. This is the place where me and many other people my batch mug our hearts and lungs out during the O'level period. Here's also where we stayed on till 8pm or 9pm at night studying and playing as well. There's Boggle and George the nice librarian will be there to give us biscuits and hot milo! :D :D :D

All those low tables for us to sit and mug and omg, that's exactly where I memorised the description for the Pacific Ring of Fire. :D

Aha and the Thai souvenirs our Thai exchange school got for us are still there. Some lame Andersonian must have done that. :

What's different is that there are more tables for Andersonians to mug now! Look at the black tables, they look really nice to mug on right! :D I was really glad all the tables in the library still look like how they look when they were first there. No vandalism leh. :D

And the turtles are still there as well! :D

This is the area outside the library and it looks like another perfect mugging place. It's so pretty I think I'll feel happy just sitting there and stoning. Aha.

Our dry field. :D

Here's the bright and colourful canteen and standing on the table is one of the drama club members. She's actually Mrs Tan's (previous principal) daughter. I think they look kinda alike. :)

gillian! AMB got a pretty logo leh! :D

Random shots taken in the hall during Homecoming session. :)

Me and a bundle of Twosix people. Alfred is really still Alfred. Aha. :D

And Qijia really looks like Pan Jia Li! :D :D

Photo ripped from Facebook taken with Layjia's polaroid! :D

I take back what I say about me wanting to be an Andersonian again. What am I saying? I AM an Andersonian! Once an Andersonian, always an Andersonian! :D :D

Homecoming every year please! :D

MRT People

2009-01-15T21:41:00.003+08:00

Having joined the Singapore workforce since about a month ago (gasp! It's been a month?!), I've to take the AM-ARE-TEE everyday to and fro Woodlands and Dhoby. The MRT early in the morning is a really interesting place because you see ALL sorts of people, since there are SO many people for you to see.

And I did a list.

TOP 7 PEOPLE YOU SURE SEE

1. Mr Zombie

How to spot him: He always read the newspaper on the train, no matter how packed, no matter how no-space-to-open-up-the-barney-newspaper it is. He has to read it without fail.

He's Mr Zombie because there's only the newspaper and him in his world. He can see nothing, absolutely NOTHING else. If there's a huge space next to him where he can shift so that people squeezing at the door won't see juice coming out of themselves, he won't budge because duh, the space isn't printed on the newspaper. He can't see it, can't feel it, and will do NOTHING to react to it.

Further proof that he really feels nothing? I met him once. Due to the overwhelming pushing, I accidentally elbowed into him (ouch!). Even my elbow hurt, I don't believe my elbow went through him. I apologised immediately. But guess what! MR ZOMBIE DIDN'T EVEN TWITCH! :O :O

2. Mr Rider

How to spot him: It's a package thing. Where there's Mr Zombie, there's Mr Rider. The key to everything is the holy newspaper (rhymes!).

Mr Rider always look SO interested in the newspaper --- that he doesn't have! ._. Sometimes looking at how he looks over Mr Zombie's shoulders and reading the news with so much enthusiasm, I really think I'm watching a Today advert. Serious, it gets me interested you know. I want to know what's so interesting he has to read it so badly.

So I become Miss Rider 2, to read what other riders are so interested to read. And the process repeats until there's one Mr Zombie and several riders. Not that Mr Zombie minds, he can't feel anything anyway.

3. Miss Bo Balance

How to spot her: She will jerk when the train is slowing down, will jerk when the train is accelerating, will jerk badly when the train jerks, aiyah, she just jerks at every possible moment that you think she should jerk.

I don't get it. If you know you jerk so much, won't you wear something less dangerous like flats, instead of 2inch heels and when you jerk you bring along many many hearts which jerk along because they're so scared you'll fall? Ohkay, if you say it's because you work at somewhere where you MUST wear heels that high (is there such a place?), then won't it make sense to hold onto the bar that's about 2cm away from you, instead of crossing your arms and jerking and jerking and jerking and jerking and jerking and jerking?

I don't get adults you know.

4. Miss Soduku

How to spot her: Duh, Soduku.

This one is ultimate. Ultimate cannot win her kind of ultimate. She's super qiang. Regardless of how cramped a position she may be in, Soduku-ing never stops. She may be sitting down, she may be standing by the door, she may be in the middle of many zombies and riders, but soduku-ing never stops.

When the train passes Ang Mo Kio and alot alot alot alot (like really alot) of people board the train, she may be squashed into some awkward position where her left hand (Soduku) and her right hand (pencil) are apart from each other and you may think, oh Soduku stops huh. NO. Her eyes are fixated on the Soduku book, never at once leaving sight of it. And then when the train pulls into Toa Payoh, where a bulk alight, you see her busily scribbling down the numbers she spotted she could fit in just now. Oh my tian.

5. Mr Mud

How to spot him: Tapered pants, ridiculously high Billabong cap, loud music coming from you-call-that-earphones?

Once in awhile you'll see him, especially in the mornings when he's going to school. Does ITE allow tapered pants? Anyway, you can always hear Simple Plan's Your Love is But a Lie echoing through the cabin when he's around. I can't decide if he's spoiling his ears or are his ears already spoilt to the extent he has to play it that loud just to hear it. It's SO early in the morning, why will you want to hear Simple Plan screaming into your ears?

But compared to people like Mr Zombie or Miss Bo Balance, I'll rather have more Mr Muds around because they will move in when there's space. I'll hate to stand near them though because I can't skip a track if I don't like their music. :)

6. Miss I-Must-Get-That-Seat

How to spot her: Her eyes drift to the seats when she first board the train. Her eyes drift around the seats whenever the train arrives at a station. Her eyes WIDEN when someone stands up to alight. Like, really, really WIDEN.

You'll see how she pushes with all her might (if she has that much strength, why can't she stand?) from the door to the going-to-be-available-seat when she sees someone pick up her handbag and looks like she's going to stand up and get ready to alight. You'll see how she just MUST get the seat at all costs, like it's really killing her to stand another 2.3 seconds.

And you'll see how, she pushes her way out at the next stop. Holy Barney! All that just for that one stop, like that also shuang ah?

7. Miss Tsk

How to spot her: Push me? Tsk. Crowded train? Tsk. Windy? Tsk. Door reopen? Tsk. Carbon dioxide? Tsk. No handbars to hold onto? Tsk. Floor? Tsk. Ceiling? Tsk. MRT? Tsk.

She's the worst. I CAN'T STAND HER TOTALLY. Man, she's really annoying. She just love tsk-ing at every, single thing! Like what's her problem man. It's not our fault that the train is crowded, lady. If you can't stand a crowded train that badly, then get a cab! But I guess the cab driver will probably throw you off the road because you'll probably tsk at nonsensical stuff too. So, get a car lah aunty!

And everybody wants to get to work on time, so you can't blame those people who are trying to squeeze into the train although there's not much space for them to do so. So why tsk them? Oh, I mean, WHY YOU TSK US?! Do you know, a tsk is not loud enough for those people at the door to hear? Only us poor souls who're stuck near you tsk woman who can hear you tsk your way from Sembawang to Dhoby Ghaut?! So why you tsk us when we are NOT the ones who're trying to squeeze into the train and in any case, why are you tsk-ing at all?!

AND. If someone accidentally bump into you because the ride is bumpy and it's so crowded, and what's more, he apologised right after that, you can't tsk him either! How will you feel if someone reply your apology with a tsk? Not very nice right, Miss Tsk?

I was SO annoyed I had an urge to tsk her back.

-imaginary scenario-
Me: (taps shoulder)
Miss Tsk: (looks over shoulder)
Me: TSK.

Ohmytian, I feel so great just thinking about it. I should have done that dammit.

The worst of the worst is when Miss Tsk combines with Miss I-Must-Get-That-Seat. Ohmyguanyingma, she should be shot really. She should be thrown off the MRT tracks. They should blacklist these people and not let them board the train. :O

Eh, cannot. I'm abit Miss Bo Balance.

I want your books

Is it just me or is it terribly cold these days? It is terribly cold right? My palms and feet are perpetually cold. It's so cold I bathed with warm water just now. But I didn't feel clean so I bathed in cold water again. Then I felt cold so I bathed in warm water again.

Okay no, I didn't bathe in warm water again, but I did bathe twice because of the cold weather. Maybe I should have bathed in cold water before bathing in warm water so I won't feel so cold now.

Aren't you bored reading two whole paragraphs about how I bathed in water.

Oh.

I've a friend whom I haven't seen in let-me-count... uh, many years. Her name is Lyna and I'm not sure what exactly the cause is for but I know it's for something good. Her friends are building an OEC center (I don't know what that stands for either) which helps Cambodian kids... Okay wait, just read her blog here. Anyway, they are looking for

English TYS, story books, old issues of reader digests, National Geographics and Times mag.

So pass me these so I can pass them to her, somehow. Thank you!

Do your part to help! And if you like me enough (and I bet you do, everybody likes me), you can ask your friends for such as well. I promise I'll say thank you.

No, I ALREADY said thank you (read previous previous paragraph). I already thanked you, so you should help.

I'm going to find books now, and so are you right! Of course you are! Do something more meaningful than Facebooking all day long, or DOTA (looks at Hongjie). Take it as spring cleaning lah can? (:

You can tag, or email me, or sms me, or call me, or snail mail me, or telepathy me to tell me you have the books. I'll surely reply! :D

Go away

It's true I can't stand humans.

What is it you people are expecting to see? Do I owe you an explanation for something?

I don't do fanfare. If you piss me off, I'll tell you straight in the face, you're pissing me off. I've had enough of acquaintances I haven't talked to in 300 donkey lifetimes suddenly coming to me and going, hey you alright? Care to share?

My answer? Hey there, I can't be better, I hate to share, now fuck off.

Yes, I changed the facebook status, I broke up on Sunday.

It's not about is there something you can't say or what the fucknots. There isn't. I just hate people poking their noses into my life just because they don't have one of their own.

That said, I know there are those who are really just being concerned. I know and I don't flare up at these people. But for the others, how the fuck, why am I suddenly good friends with you once I break up?

As for the guy who went will you consider me? ONE DAY after I ended the relationship, you should fucking get a life, or at least try, try to act like you've a life but I doubt you can try at all because you're so stupid I suspect it's a whole strawberry farm in there inside that thing you call a head and wait a minute, you mean that sheet plastered on the thing you call a head is your FACE? Holy waffles! Only a strawberry will consider you dude.
