All that you can't leave behind

was just watching the news.. and reading.. about the disaster. it's just so bloody sad ain't it. more than a hundred thousand dead.. and counting. the situation looks bleak. really bleak.

it got me thinking about how lucky i am and how blessed my life has been. hah. to think i was irked just now cos there was no food at home except chocolates and i was starving. people out there have no food and are waiting, even fighting for aid and here i am complaining cos i have chocs from marks and spencer. raaargh. i complain too much.

henceforth, i shall be happy and count my blessings. and hopefully do something about my self-centred nature. there's a whole world out there.. so many things happening everyday and i live in my own world, so self-absorbed. my own problems, my own worries, my woes.. which is nothing compared to many others.

i shall remember this moment.

playing: greenwheel - i don't believe

on birds and bees

rather ungratifying sakae buffet topped off with a peculiar tasting green pigmented ball which goes by the beguiling name of "mochi (spelling??) ice cream". brings a whole new meaning to the term 'oddball'.

excessive but mirthful talk-cock (pun unintended) session.

topics covered:

- what's that term for sexless beings?

which led to the following...

- how some animals (slimy ones) can morph and change sex
- how do snakes do it?
- snakes have retractables (exceptionally fascinating and funny thought)
- how do birds do it?
- how do fishes do it?
- how do snails do it? huh? how??
- how to get two dogs to run away stuck together
- how to get mice to willingly kill themselves and die happy.

ok you get my drift. it was like a bio lesson over tea.

for some inexplicable reason i was convinced today was thursday. until xinye insisted today was wednesday did i check the calendar in my phone. i would've gone on thinking that tmr is friday! too much time on your hands makes you lose all sense of time and day. geez.

ok photos...


i'm not acting cute

look how many yucky ice cream thingies i have!

to eat or not to eat?

dead/decapitated seal. (it's actually the skin of the aforementioned yucky ice cream thingies)

xinye's self-proclaimed "so wong kar wai!" picture

i like tea

but i like tea bags better

merry christmas one and all!

had 3 christmas dinners. yumyum. enough christmas food to last me till next christmas.

oh yah. results are damn crappy! but somehow it doesn't really bother me. maybe cos i was expecting not to do well also lah. i wasn't even nervous or anxious about the results being released today. decided that CAP doesn't matter to me cos i'm not doin honours anyways. haha. i hope this doesn't give me reason to slack the next 3 sems away though. but hey! it's christmas man. who gives a damn about results.

have fun y'all! and have a better year ahead! love ya bunches.

my new sheets! nice eh? it's barbie. wahahha.

my cleaned up room. yeah, i know i still looks a tad messy.

close up of barbie! haha

my brother. hahahah

turkey

beef. and bro's beer belly. lol

mom's present fm bro and alecia in a cool cigar box

new layout. hmm.. i don't really know what else to put in. it's not completed yet. haha. oh well. spent alot of time on it already. shall continue another time.

today was family day! we had our christmas dinner today. haha. my bro's back. went TM earlier to check out the Mango sale. didn't find anything though. mom spotted my bro's new tattoo. wahahha. nag nag nag. lol. i'm so amused by it cos the last time he came back he was hiding it fm the folks and i was like 'orrrrhhhhh'. and this time he forgot to hide it! haha.

shall post some pics of my clean room and stuff later! oh yah. moved the com to my room and all. now i have a tv and a dvd player in my room too. whoopeedoo!

Rose Syrup High

downing shots of rose syrup CONCENTRATE (mixed with a little joy juice if lucky) as your friends watch gleefully, thankful that it's not themselves drinking, is ironically a rather fun way to spend an evening. but yuck! only water can assuage the sticky sweetness that goes down your throat in an attempt to give you diabetes. stupid indian poker. it was rather unlucky of me to have lost twice (in a row? i can't remember). bah.

all grossness aside, kester eating alot of pandan cake with alot of chilli sauce and charkwa drinking soup mixed with joy juice amidst exclamations of "eeeeeeewww" by the appalled onlookers, was waaaaay more fun! the amazing thing is that they did it willingly?

alright now. who's up for more sadistic fun?

ARGGGGHHHHH

my mudder has been irritating me the whole day!!! i cannot take eeeeeet anymore!! she keeps coming into the room and making noise about this and that and i'm like rrrrrraaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! i will clean the freaking mess and whatnots lah! don't have to tell me the obvious!

SHEESH!

leave me alone. just leave me alone. i have an article to write!!!

Behold!

the rare, once-a-year phenomenon of grumpy ol' nat cleaning her room can be observed today. if lucky you might even catch nat sweeping, mopping, or changing the sheets! you can even have a hands-on experience at cleaning too if you so wish.

details
visiting hours : 3-6pm
entrance fee : a chocolate bar
note:
unclean / dusty air. might induce wheezing. recommended to bring along a mask.
no photography.
no sniggering.

so come on down before the room is clean!

feeling laconic.

well, let's just say bash was fun. more so than last year's.

Listening to : the new amsterdams - losing you

reel life is always better
ain't it?
i don't think i'm capable of such love
heartless, selfish creature
that i am
muahhahahaha

i say Bah

i say chey! and bah! i say bah.

and i'm blogging too much.

and the f***kin blogger navbar is getting in the way of my entries! getting on me nerves. argh!

all i want for christmas...

sometimes i don't understand certain people. friends.
sometimes i don't understand why certain things happen.
so, i shall live in my own world. just me and my imagination.
escapism? i don't think so.
more likely the lack of choice.

all i want for christmas is my wisdom teeth gone, my wisdom teeth gone. preferably all four of em. painlessly. thankew very much. and a whole load of other stuff as well. not material stuff. but .. just stuff to happen. or to not happen. yep. that's all i want for christmas... i want it all.

I'm going mad

everytime i stay at my godparents place i go mad. must be the boredom. i keep singing christmas carols. even on the frikkin bus. aarrhhhhh. the stupid song..
"jingle bells, batman smells, robin laid an egg...."
much to my godma's amusement. she said she thought only kids sing stuff like that. wahahhaha. and i keep makin funny noises. godma says sometimes i sound like a dog sometimes like an elephant. hurhur. i'm looooosing it. or maybe i never had it in the first place. sanity, that is. i'm a monkeyyy!! my second childhood. and i'm only twenty. by the time i'm fifty i'd be like at my fourth childhood or somethin. hah. i think i currently have the brains and mentality of a 12 year old. hohoho. merry christmas!

i don't wanna be wise!

my wisdom teeth are comin out! arrrrgh! i think must pluck! just reading some website and it says that it can cause infection of gums and even swelling of cheeks! wwwwwwwaaaaaaa! i dun wanna look like a freakin melon! and the infection can spread too! *freaks out* and it can harm the other teeth!

despite all this, i dun wanna pluck my teeth! it is one of the scariest experiences ever. pain too. bad bad baaaaad memories.

owwww.

what have i been doing the past 3 days besides watching alot of tv?

nothing.

"yes?"

stuffed toy?

puppy dog eyes

my bro's dog! so cute right?

Funness!

Francis gathering today! alot of ppl didn't come but it was still fun. Vic's new house is HUMONGOUS! wah lao! when i was walking there i was like...

"dun tell me that one is his house.. haha."

upon walking nearer....

"it IS his house!?"

i went early to play with lana! hehe. she's so damn cute! yea she's a dog by the way. golden retrievers are my favourite-est dogs! i miss tiny. anyways, got slobbered like mad. all over. feet, hands, face. she's one crazy, hyper, jump-all-over-you dog! cute as hell!

derrick, bro jo, and joyce came next (i was the first!), so we played this tennis game on vic's x-box. hahaha. super funny lah! 4 ppl playing is damn fun! learnt that bro jo gets violent and hits his teammate (me) while playing. damn pain can! and learnt that derrick is not very good at these video games. wahhaha. later everyone played taboo! oooh i like! it's highly amusin to see everyone get so worked up and saying stupid things. word of the day would have to go to:

booby-trap!

and word that i should not have screwed up:

Pierce Brosnan!

ahahah. i love this game. and i love Pierce Brosnan.

drank some baileys with bern n bro jo. wah lao. drinkin it alone is abit much i think. with coffee nicer lah. bern got red in the face after that. haha.

oh. i also attempted to learn mahjong. for like the millionth time. and i still don't really geddit! argh. lucky melch also dunno how to play. so i wasn't alone. haha. i didn't win at all! if we were playing with real money (which bern and bro jo tried to goad me into. tsk!) , i'd be broke now! needless to say, both of them took turns winning. not only did i not learn how to play properly, someone accused me of not being able to read chinese. at one point it went something like this...

"she can't read chinese lah"

"you can't read chinese?!"

"huh!? you can't read chinese??"

"nooo! i can read chinese lah!!!"

ladeedum. what a day. i even managed to get the last bus home. yay!

now i'm popping hello pandas non-stop. just can't stop!! these freaking things are so addictive. and don't think that just cos they're small they are not evil. four of those little things are 190 calories. yes, just FOUR. dunno how many thousand calories i just consumed. hahahah. yummaye!

boredom blog

bloggin cos i'm bored. lalala.

went out with mom and bro today. had dim sum lunch at this teochew restaurant in centrepoint! good! i ate so much cos my bro was still hungry, so he ordered more, so i had to eat despite being bloddy full. hah.

so after lunch we walked.... and walked... and walked... till it was time to go home.

oh gosh this is such a boring entry.

my phone's ready for collection. they are super efficient! less than a day! whoa.

ok i'm sorry if you've fallen asleep reading this. go do something more fun/ productive with your time. i shall too.. bye.

tired and bored

nobody online to talk to. lalala.

been out everyday. good exercise. hahaha. damn tired sia!

finally went to service my phone. argh. hope it's done soon.

just blogging cos i'm bored.

gonna watch tv.

bye.

incredible day!

the incredibles is superb!! i love it love it love it! superhero cartoons are the best! their powers are damn cool! i think i actually wouldn't mind watching it again even! oh and i love the fantastic four too! was crazy over that cartoon last time. heh.

after that we went shoppin. like, majorly. (ooh why did that sound so bimbotic?) lets see what i bought...

1) denim skirt (damn cheap!)
2) pinkish OP capris (i'm still wondering if i shd've gotten this)
3) boardshorts (damn cheap!)
4) flowery skirt (damn cheap!)
5) funky purple ripcurl pants (i love this!)

5 bottoms only. not alot lah. not alot. and we didn't even walk the whole of orchard! only covered from PS to Heeren. who knows what else we might've found had we covered the whole area. i need some tops!

i'm tired.

My day... which day?? or was it night?

our vocation is to love. that we can do everyday. our vocation is not to become priests, religious or to get married. these just help us in our vocation to love.
- something from today's homily that struck me

Fr Bruno has a damn nice french accent. ahahha. it has a very calming effect. he's sucha nice priest. i find him very inspiring. oh during mass i was standing beside this guy who smelt like one of my fave desserts - almond jelly with logans. hahaha. weird lah. wonder what cologne he was using man. If he was using any. hmm.

went for sunshine's 21st bday partaaaaye yesterday. went early to help blow like a million balloons. haha. then had a sleepover at weng's place although it shouldn't be called a sleepover since we didn't sleep!! madness! watched a few movies, and had ben and jerry's and other junk!! then it was already past 5am. so guess wat we did? we went for a prata breakfast! hahaha. i've never eaten breakfast so early before! so basically it was another lazy day, eating non stop. geeeez. after breakfast we watched another show but i fell asleep at the second half. hah.. so went home to sleep proper after that.

sleeping at weird hours is confusing... blurs the line between night and day and sat from sun. for example, if i brush my teeth at 5am, then have bkfast after that, then sleep at 9am... do i still have to brush my teeth when i wake up at 3pm? since it's already considered the morning brush. or should i consider that a before sleep night brush? something stupid to think about... ah it's post-exams anyways... am entitled to be stupid.

oh yah! i forgot to mention this. if u can't wake a person up, just sing that stupid mars song.. which goes..

in the land of mars
where the women dun wear bras
and the men dun care
cos they dun wear underwear.

haha karen was singing tt on repeat mode, much to the dismay of dary who was trying hard to get some 40 winks. hohoho.

lalalallalalala! gnite everybodeee!

*burp*

back fm mom's bday dinner. yummm. i had so much dessert! peeeeg out baby.

speakin of pig. mel, weng, and i stayed over at dary's spanking new place last nite and we're such pigs (except for mel)! house is damn big! coolness. his room is huge too. shioker! all that's missing is a dog! soon soon.. heh. so 4 of us squeezed on his bed, sleeping horizontally with our legs sticking off the bed. i have this unwarranted fear of letting my feet stick out of beds. but got ppl around ok lah. if i'm alone.. sure cannot! must cover feet under blanket too. don't want no imaginary monster chomping my feet off now would i! and i hate sleeping beside a wall or in between people. i have such weird sleeping habits. haha.

anyways the sleepover was funn! we totally PIGGED the whole day. woke up fer lunch (had hagen daaz too!), took a tour round the house, then er.. kinda lazed around in bed doing absolutely nothing except irritating the heck outta dary for abt 3 hours in order to keep him from slpg again so he could entertain us. haha! this is THE life man! we were lazing around the whole day till 530 when we had no choice but to leave. ahahha. my perfect choice of how to spend the holidays if you ask me.

oh and dary asked if i was wearing a pushup bra last nite. in other words, my boobies have grown? whoohoo! wahhahaha. but too bad lah, they went back to their normal size this morning (cos i changed bra). hurhur. and no i wasn't wearin a pushup or aquabra. just a good one. haha. why dary notices such things in the first place, i have no idea.

chinablack was ok. was some jc party. KIDS. we left the minute they started playing weird shit... trance of sthg. dono lah. s'all techno to me. i dun reli like clubbin. it's boring leh. i'd rather haf spent the time slacking in dary's room. haha! oh ya! and i was supposed to meet xinye and yiting yesterday afternoon but was too LAZY to go to town, go home, then go back at nite again. haha! *oink oink oink oink snorts*

wat a piggy day! i like!

back to the good life! whooohoo!

the air is fresher. my step's lighter. a smile's on my face. i'm happy and i'm gay! hell, i'd even donate to those pesky flag-sellers if i come across them! wahhaha. wheeeeeeee! in a good mood baby! till the results come out that is. haha. lalalala.

paper today was ok, except that i didn't do any qn on Joyce at all! and i spent the most time studying that. disgusting. i hate Joyce!! oh well, just glad it's all over.

i've realised that i actually enjoy studying for lit. so now i know... that's why i'm majoring in it. yeah.. i think it kinda dawned on me when i was studying for IT (ewwww!). it was easier to study cos it's like just reading all the stuff and remembering them. quite brainless actually. haha.. but maybe that's cos i didn't understand half of the stuff and neither did i bother to go figure out. but with lit it's different. you have a genuine interest in what the text is trying to say. so that's why i'm not anywhere else but in arts. to think i almost did science in JC! madness.

yay i'm so happy. hahahah. i'm rambling. now i can slack and not feel guilty about it! and can watch tv without pretending to study at the same time!

it's a beautiful day.

why do all great literary classics have to be boring? is it a prerequisite??

Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man must be the most boring book i've ever read.

2 down

2 more to go! yay quite relieved now. asian american lit is over!! the paper was horrible but nvm... cos now no need to read russell leong's gay porn anymore! it's damn disgusting lah *eeelch* i so do not need to know how two men get it on (and off?). so gross! i didn't even wanna read it again and i had to study it. TS over too. now can slack for awhile. heh.

i've realised the importance of not skipping lectures.

now the more important part is remembering this next sem.

i've only been studying for a week and i'm so tired and absolutely sick of it already. i really wonder how i managed to study for A-levels. think that was a miracle man... must be age catching up with me that's why now cannot study anymore. haha.

oh well. first paper later at 5. yiiiiikes. scary scary.

left behind. booooooooooooo.

i shall go and sleep.

How long have I been in this storm?
So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
Water's getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head

If I could just see you
Everything would be all right
If I could see you
This darkness would turn to light

And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be all right
And everything will be all right

I know you didn't bring me out here to drown
So why am I ten feet under and upside down
Barely surviving has become my purpose
Because I'm so used to living underneath the surface

And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be all right
And everything will be all right

Storm - Lifehouse

ooooo this song is damn sad. the lyrics, oh the lyrics... sigh.

You

some people are just so smart and they write in such an engaging and witty manner that it simply amazes me. such insightful thoughts. acute. penetrative. how do they do it? how do they think like that? i wonder... pure genius.

i'm so dumb, i can't stand it. i wonder what it'd be like to be so intelligent, perceptive, sharp. i wonder what it'd be like to be you.

(i just had to check the dictionary to see if i spelt 'you' correctly. the word just looked so weird to me. gosh. i'm dumber than i think. maybe i've been studying too much.)

goodluck for the exams, everybody.

hello world! having funny conversations on msn with some ppl just makes me laugh. so i'm happy, despite getting back 3 shitty term papers back today! who the hell gets C- for essays?? oh yah, me!

and my bro got a dog! a schnauzer (spelling??)! jealous jealous jealous. 7 weeks old. should be damn cute! although i've never been a fan of schnauzers cos i prefer big dogs! but aiyah, all dogs are cute lah. i want a dog too.

some ppl are so lame!! hahahaha..

ok this post is damn random. but watever lah!

aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh

check this out!!

from today's Straits Times...

massive overhaul of Chinese teaching!!!

"change was necessary given the fact that few people can master both English and Chinese"

oh, and it took you guys THAT long to realise???

"electronic dictionaries that provide a short-cut to writing chinese characters and phrases wil become standard equiptment in class and even for examinations, reducing the need for children to memorise long lists and practise writing for hours"

wat the..?? how lucky is that?! how many of you just hated MEMORISING those damned chinese words for some stupid test? now they have dictionaies with SHORT-CUTS?! wat the hell!! now they don't have to memorise the whole bloody book of ci yu and chen yu and whatnots till the cows come home.

"emphasis will be more on listening, speaking and reading skills..."

gee. if they did that like 13 years earlier maybe now i wouldn't be getting pissed whenever i'm watching chinese shows and the bloody subtitles don't appear! like last night during the champions (yes, i watch cheesy chinese drama serials so shoot me)! they showed some poster in chinese which was integral to the plot, and i totally couldn't read and i was like "wat?wats going on??" i'm totally handicapped without subtitles and it irks me especially since i have to sit closer to the tv to read them.

"... less on writing and memorising words and phrases"
"pupils learn at their own pace"

and finally... wouldn't we all just love that?

"we're not just accidental, meaningless little chips of energy falling off the conveyor belt of cosmic evolution, indistinguishable from billions of others. We know we're unique, precious, have meaning, and are made for a special destiny." - article in the Catholic News

heh i like the conveyor belt analogy... funny! although i think it was meant to be serious and not funny. haha.

I'm a nocturnal creature

it's 2am and i'm not sleepy when the whole freakin day i was struggling to keep my eyes open! weird. like once it's past 7pm or 8pm i perk up. now i don't think i could fall asleep even if i wanted to. so tmr i'll end up waking only after 12. this is terrible.

ok i know my posts are damn boring. other than reporting my sleep patterns i have nothing else to say. so, bye.

so sleepy i'm drivin' me nuts!

arrgh. the past few days i've just been sleepy sleepy sleepy! i dono why. and it's not like i don't get enuf sleep. i wake up damn late everyday! for eg, yesterday, i woke at 1pm and a few hours later.. abt 4, i was so sleepy i had to take a nap! so yah... attempts to study have failed miserably. right now i'm feeling sleepy too.. tried to read some stuff but was just fallin asleep. crap lah. how to study in this state!?

had some happy and weird dreams last nite. they were so real. *yawns* maybe i'll go take a nap and have more happy dreams.

wah lao. something's wrong with the stupid shoutbox. went to the website to check and i realised that many of the comments were not displayed! and now everything's gone. hah. and it sucks being sick! feel so tired and lazy. haha.

everybody's blogging about mugging!! aaahhhhhh! what is the world comin to. tis' sad, tis' sad. or should i say SCARY!!!

Your Penis Name is: 100% All-beef Thermometer

Get your own Penis Name

wah lao this is even funnier!! hahahaha!

Your Boobies' Names Are: Tweedledum and Tweedledee

Get your own Boobie Names

WAHAHHAHAH! this is hilarious. i wonder which one is tweedledum and which is tweedledee. hmm...

Whoo HoOOOoOooo!

I'm one module down!!! finally finished the last stupid film essay after procrastinating the whole day. ugh. i totally wasted today refusing to start on it. but i'm glad it's over although i know it's quite crappily done. think i'm gonna get tick minus again. *rolls eyes* whatever. This mod is a gonner anyways. but it's non-examinable so it's DONE and OVER with!

in less exciting news, i think i'm fallin sick. bleah.

T.S.Eliot: The Wasteland. You are a desperate cry
to God, moulded in intricate word-craftmanship.
Your language is controlled, but inside, you
feel empty and are not content with your life.
You see both the world and your inner self as a
waste land: nothing good can come out of it
anyway. People find you difficult to understand
but admire you nevertheless.

Which literature classic are you?
brought to you by


eh this is so true! except for the admire me part lah. dun think anyone does. haha.

whyyyy?

why am i sucha slacker?! argh. i can't stand myself. everyone's mugging away in the lib while i'm happily sleeping my days away. i'm so lazy. i'm such a pig! just can't get down to studying proper. and i keep worrying about not doing well. haha.. tt's about the only thing i do - worry. and when the results come out, i'll promise to study hard next sem, only to go back to my lazy ways. sem in sem out it's the same thing. uni life is utterly boring and routine isn't it? suddenly the year is over and it's christmas again. this is like, so last year! am i making sense? life is like an irritating song on repeat mode. just press a button and here comes the next sem, playing out exactly the same as the previous one! yay. well, i'll survive....

as long as it's not techno.

where am I?

i dun geddit. the bible... never fails to confound me.

Update on lizard experience

told mom abt it last night and she scolded me for not telling her earlier!! hahaha.. cos she drank from it already. lol. then she say i sabo her. so we have a new kettle today. hah. but this one also doesn't have a cap!! as in at the mouth (is tt wat u call it? where the water pours out) there. wah lao. so wats the point?? the same thing could happen again! argh. my mudder...

Paranoia

i have this fear now of lizards popping out of everywhere! now when i wanna use the microwave i check to see there's no lizard inside (wouldn't want it in my food right!?). which leads to me fearing that i'd find a lizard buried in my noodles. ugh!! crap.. i fear the whole bloody kitchen! lizards may just run past me! it's happened before k. eeeeeeks. so now i make sure the lights are on first, then i'll look around suspiciously, and when the coast is clear (or so i think), i'll make my way around.. slowly and cautiously.

anyways.. my dad doesn't wanna get a new kettle!! he went something like, "won't die one lah. you see all the things they eat on tv..." gosh.. so typical of him. maybe my mom will budge. haven't told her about it yet.

and now i don't dare to use my bottle! sighhhh. even tho i think the lizard didn't touch it. i THINK. there's still that nagging 0.000001% doubt.

damn you, lizard!!

OMG! OMG! OMG!!!!!

i was pouring water from the kettle into my water bottle and guess wat?!?! a freaking LIZARD jumped out of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAH LAO!!!! i swear i almost died!!!!!!!! ahhhh!!! still recovering from the shock now.. ahhhhhhhhh. help. thank God it didn't jump into my bottle. if not i'll throw it away man. i'm definitely not drinking from the kettle again.. even if it means having to drink tap water. sigh. this is worse than the lizard-in-ribena incident can. at least that lizard was dead and not jumping out scaring the @#$%$#%^%^&%$#$^ outta people!

i'm traumatised. i've kept my cookies in the fridge so no damn lizard will get to it.. eeeeeee!! freaks me out just to think that a million lizards might have gone into the kettle before!!! YUCK!! POOOOOOI!!! my get folks to get a new kettle... with a cover. ugh. disgusting. yuck! eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!! i've run out of expressions to express my grossed-outness!!! aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

once again, pig has outdone himself and raised the bar in the how-stupid-can-one get competition! amazing.

In Your sight, Lord, the whole world is a speck of sand that tips the scales, a drop of morning dew come down upon the earth. - wisdom 11:22

wat the hell

my asian american lit essay has been extended! under normal circumstances i should be happy. except that i've already done it!! argh! wah lao! today is the bloody deadline can! then today then he decides to extend thanks to the pleas of other pathetic students?!??!?! wtf?! i spent the last two days pia-ing for tt essay, leaving only today to complete my modern period essay. who the hell gives extensions on the day of the deadline?!

and the modern period also.. the other class gets an extension but mine doesn't!?!??! obviously the other class will get an unfair advantage right.

i never knew this extension of essay thing was possible until this sem. seriously, i think if we're given a deadline we should just stick to it. if you're too busy to complete it then it's your own damn problem. go figure a way to finish it. it think it's just irresponsible... not too mention UNFAIR!!! it's as good as cheating. now those who haven't finshed it yet will get the whole freakin weekend to do it, while ppl like me are prolly gonna do badly for it and for the paper due tmr as well! BAH!

at this point in time i'd just like to say... fuck it lah! hahaha. dun think i've ever used this word on my blog before. always thought it's not very err... nice to do so. haha.. but self censorship is bad. might have side effects? i should use this word more often. fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck! lalalalalaaaaaah! bye.

Typical Nerd Post?

after spending so much time and love, i finally completed another essay! yay! and guess what? i think i've acquainted myself so well with the library that i know where all the different shelves are! i've even been to the reference section ok. and i still have one more essay to do! alright! this is so funnn! i hope this never ends... wheeeee..!

yay?

i've kinda completed my film and hist essay. left with editing. ugh. just managed to scrap past 2000 words. phew. now i'm afraid that i might not have answered the question! ahhhh. sigh. oh well. too late. bye.

s.t.r.e.s.s.e.d

i have a million essays to write!! ok, just three. but that's just about enough to kill me. sigh. one 35% (!?) on mon, one 25% on thurs, and another 25% on fri. not to mention a marketing project on fri as well. gotta go to town to look for stuff for the project tmr.. wat a waste of time! and gotta go bug some sponsors as well. haha. have also been looking for info in the library to do my essays... not very fruitful. bah. it's been a sucky week... and it can only get worst. been doing reli badly for my essays and tests thus far. argh. i can't screw up these three! yet i think i will. i'm rambling. it's friday again. damn fast. i wanna go back to last week.

Retreat photos!


dary and gerald (who's drunk on rum and raisins choc. haha!)

hehe shy lah

oh crap lets just do it. (muackalaba. heh)

i want pok's jacket!!! it's so nice

muh dahlin' and I

crazy, messy-haired woman and weng

gerald the small boy

ewen (gerald at the side lookin damn kok)

One way! Jesus!

guess that was everybody's fave song during the retreat. heh. anyways, it was rather fun!! despite the 'tension' that we had. heh. last night was damn fun. we were in the little india corner (hurhur) talking cock till like 430! so we had only like 2 hours of sleep! haha. this mornin i was so sleepy i slept during the talk.. and er.. couldn't help dozing off at mass too heh. previous night we walked around the sch and it was freakin scary!! super dark. the toilets really freak me out (even during the day wat more at nite). wat with all the scary stories. yikes..

after the retreat lunched with pOk and ade. we had a really interesting conversation about the charismatic stuff and church and all. there were some reli creepy stories tt gave me goosebumps! but i think it was amazing... to just talk about religion. it's not something that we do very often... mostly not at all. was just nice lah.

went home, caught an hour of sleep then met mike for mass at holy trin. haha. he was going there to help the franciscans sell their calendars and since i slept at mass in the morning just go lah! and mike fell asleep standing! damn funny. haha. got a calendar too.. its niiiice. 10 buckeroos only. go get!

anyways... think the retreat was pretty amazing. really could see how it touched certain ppl. haha k. that's all i have to say.

exciteddddddd!

i think i'm lagging cos i only just started to get excited about this. going back to CJ tmr to help facilitate in the JC1 retreat! ahhhh!! like wat dary's nick says, we'll be BACK, reunited and in ACTION!! muahhaha. he makes it sound like some tv show reunion haha. like friends! wheeeee! actually i hate facilitating (for retreats. orientation camps are ok). but it'll be so fun cos almost everyone's going back! ahh! then we can stay up and talk cock! haha! and this time the teachers wouldn't be chasing us to go sleep! heh. yay yay yay! it'd be just like old times. hahaha. gosh, just saying that makes me feel old.

oh speaking of age, just the other day, for a split second i thought i was 18! hahaha. ridiculous eh. i saw this mag and it had "10th anniversary" on it. i thot, "how old was i 10 years ago? ok. 18 - 10 = ??" then i realised should be 20 - 10. which is 10 (yay i can count!). and that day when i went to cut hair with my godma, the hair guy said to her "young kids any hairstyle also nice". he was err.. referring to me. hurhur. i wonder how old (or shd i say young?) he thinks i am.

ok i haven't finished my essay. hahahahaha. but i'm still happy! lalala! maybe i'll get last minute inspiration like xinye. i hope so! ok. shall go finish it off.

have a good weekend everybodeeeeeee!

electrico rocked!

yay i'm so glad i went in the end... haha. initially didn't feel like going. but t'was fun. they're goood. weng and mel, see, i DO go for such stuff for the music and not for cute guys ok... contrary to popular belief. lol. oh but the bassist was so small and cute in a dorky kinda way. haha.

in other less interesting news, i have an essay to write!!! aarrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Freezing my butt off in the lib

i'm actually in the lib! haha. on my way to muggerdom. haha.. i'm not doing work tho... just sitting here. lol.

there's a new pearls before swine comic! called Sgt. Piggy's Lonely Hearts Club. haha.. spoof of the Beatles album title eh. funny.

lately i've been thinking that i'm strange. i'm becoming like emily strange! haha. tt's why i used this layout. i like being alone more and more... sometimes i just wana be left alone. like emily. haha.. i dun even like talking to ppl on msn now. hmm. dono why. maybe i'm just lazy. it takes alot of energy to talk (online or not). haha. oh well, at least i still blog... tho not as often.

oh can go to www.emilystrange.com to check her out. haha. go look at the music she listens to. heavy stuff sia. abit scary. i'm not that strange... yet? haha. lalala. ok goin off. bye!

I dream of Chocolates

last nite i had a dream abt chocs. they were all over the bed! like melted and STUCK to the sheets. and i remember thinking sth like, "oh shit". and guess wat i did? i ate the chocs. haha. does this dream reflect my love for chocs or wat! haha. just had chocs just now. heh. yumm..

It's you that be the stupid one! I is smart!

since everyone's doing this...


You're the Mysterious Beauty!

What woman out of fantasy literature are you?
brought to you by

well, i certainly don't have boobs like that.

Sob

the eagles are playing at the indoor stadium now and i'm not there!!! sigh. during film and history lect they played this song titled "don henly must die". hahaha it's damn funny! so anyway.. i went to find the lyrics... here's some of it.

Don Henley
Must die
Don't let him get back together
With Glenn Frey

Don Henley
Must die
Put him in the electric chair
Watch him fry, Don Henley must die

No Eagles reunion
The same goes for you too Sting

so stupid right!! hahaha. esp the last line.

and i'm still bitter about not getting to watch them in concert. bah.

new layout. finally. after so long. i miss the pink. but this is nice.

thinking of a title is sucha chore

went to power 98's band competition thingy today with weng, mel and charkwa to check out the cute guys! *ahem* i mean, to support ivan, justin and nick! go, them! haha. every band had to play original songs and i really liked some of the songs! too bad their band, Always Marcia (spelling??), didn't get into the finals! i really liked their songs and i thought they were good. bah. anyways, it was fun! nothing beats rock music live and loud. i wonder when local bands will start getting recognition. there's good stuff out there. no?

after that we caught Ballet Under the Stars. haha from rock to ballet. anyway i thought it was rather boring. i think if they call it a ballet they should just stick to ballet and not do weird rural-urban tribal-like dances with terribly loud and screechy music. just weird lah. i prefer classical ballet. what'd be interesting to see is a ballet with rock music. hahahah. i wonder wat it'd be like. should be quite cool lah. if it can be pulled off.

ok gtg. got a candle article to write and i can't find the info to write it!! ahhhhh. sigh. bye.

How Did That Happen?

my mom crashed the car yesterday. she drove right into a container. sheesh. luckily, she's ok. the car's not as lucky tho! apparently the whole front of the car got smashed and even the airbag came out haha. now it's gonna get scraped and we are officially car-less for now. amazing. i dono how come she didn't see the container. containers are huge! how did that happen? and not too long ago, she killed the backlight of the car. harhar. banged into a pillar while reversing. geez. said she didn't see it. i remember when i was a kid and i was in the car, she also hit into sth while parking. she's such a terrible driver!!! and she herself admits to that. she said before she doesn't know how she passed the test cos she knows she's not that good. i scared already. she'd better not drive anymore. for her own good and for the good of others. hah.

in other news. vernice told me she got into KR! hoho and guess which blk? yup. A blk. the one i was in. then she said she asked the guy (er.. dono wat guy) and he said there was no one after her on the waiting list. in other words, i was not on the freakin waiting list! how did that happen? bah. stupid unhelpful hall office bitch of a woman told me i was put on the waiting list. well, obviously not. i bet she lied just to get me off her back haha. vernice said i should've applied to be on the waiting list myself. oh, well. what's done is done. guess i'm fated to stay at home to mug as opposed to staying in hall and slacking my time away. haha.

i'm sleepy. it's only 840. guess it'll be an early night. bye.

listening to: I'm nothing without you - Astrud Gilberto

wheeeee!

my stressful period is over!! had my lit test and presentation today so it's over and done with!! was a CRAZY weekend i tell ya. had to rush thru 176 pgs of Molloy, of which 91 pgs is PARAGRAPHLESS!!! it's so terrible to keep seeing endless lines!! gives you a headache. and you don't know where to stop reading when u wana take a break cos there are no breaks! WAH LAO!

but that being said... Molloy is a great book, albeit frustrating at times (ok, alot of the time). Samuel Beckett is a freakin good writer!

he's one funny guy with a weird sense of humour i tell ya... check it out:

we underestimate this little hole, it seems to me, we call it the arsehole and affect to despise it. But is it not rather the true portal of our being and the celebrated mouth no more than the kitchen-door. nothing goes in, or so little, that is not rejected on the spot, or very nearly. almost everything revolts it that comes from without and what comes from within does not seem to receive a very warm welcome either. are not these significant facts. time will tell.

and Turner said sth during tutorial about how lit is supposed to be enjoyable... i guess we've all forgotten about how enjoyable it really can be. like he said, it's fun! go read Molloy, everybody!

ok i think maybe i'm just trying to brainwash myself here. hoho.

Title

went to watch neil simon's Rumours at jubilee hall with shuhui, xinye, sunshine and franklin just now. i miss jubilee hall! haha. the play wasn't too bad. some parts were hilarious. heh. dono why some ppl left during the interval! such a waste of money.. were they really THAT bored?? geez. might as well don't come.

mm.. ok nthg else to blog abt.

argh!!

tickets to the eagles are sold out!!!!! only left the $350 and $500 ones! and it's not like i can afford those!!! @#%&^$^@*%! SIGH. and it's not like i'll ever get a chance to watch them again! farewell tour indeed. why didn't i just get the tix when they were still available like last week! and gold90fm keeps advertising for their concert and they even have a ticket giveaway contest but i missed the first few clues so i cant even take part! and they play the contest thingy all day long much to my annoyance. maybe i should go buy 4D and TOTO and hope i get lucky. harhar. speaking of toto (the band), i didn't get to watch them either when they came! and they're so old too i don't think there'd be a 'next time' to watch them. sigh. i just keep missing out on the good stuff. i wonder what i'll miss next...

maybe i should just start listening and liking bands like 5566. chances of seeing them are higher.

I'm Blogging!

wow i actually managed to find time in this crazy, busy week to blog! haven't blogged in ages cos err.. just didn't feel like it. wonder if anyone still reads my blog. hahaha.

well, i have something blog worthy today!

went to watch Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre and they are SO good!!! better still was the fact that i got the tickets for free! muahahhaha. won some contest. ain't i lucky. yah anyways.. they were so energetic! they were like CRAZY! they're like those duracell bunnies that go on and on and on. but not so stiff and stupid looking lah. ok, bad analogy. but you get my drift. oh and they looked like they were having a hell lotta fun. just watching them can make you smile. the music was great too! there was big band stuff.. some swing, some jazzy stuff and like er.. african tribal music.. or at least tt's wat i think it was. haha. oh and of course, the men were hot! haha. i love black men.

oh. alot of ppl started walking out of the theatre while they were taking their bows. isn't that just so rude??? geez. but they got standing ovations from lotsa ppl so tt makes up for it? haha. some ppl even left before the dance. haha weird. i think they thought it was over. cos there were so many intermissions. oh well. k lah. go check them out at www.alvinailey.org if u wanna. i've got stuff to do. bye.

realised sth last night. i have an essay and a project due and a test.. ALL next friday!!! wow. how nice. i just love being in such situations. yippee yay. and to put a cherry on top of this, lets add a test on tuesday! yummy.

music calming me now : Lovers, Secrets and Lies - Peter Cincotti

just back from a YUMMY dinner!! went to tung lok at paramount with family. 33.80+++ per person for the ala carte buffet which is not too ex and the food was really really good. oh then we got a box of mooncakes too! i never knew mooncakes were so expensive. one piece about 8plus? and it's so small and the ingredients are so... simple. my dad says it's like eating gold. haha. hmm.. speaking of gold. heard they have golden mooncakes now. eeeks. they are just getting weirder by the year.

i really really really wanna go watch the eagles in concert!!!! i love them! but the tix are waaaaaaaaaay expensive. do i love them enuf to fork out at least $99? and tt's just to see their backview. but then again, maybe they have nice butts? haha. anyways, doubt i'd find anyone who'd be interested in the eagles. anyone? no? shall ask my brother.

oh. another thing i wanna watch... sesame street at downtown east!! hahaha. ahem. anyone?

something really weird happened at mass today. i think they err... forgot to do the 2nd reading!?! after the psalm, everyone was still sitting down.. then the commentator said pls stand for gospel...!! and we did the acclaimation blah blah. i was like "???" hmmmm.

met gerald n sh for dinner. at Big O. NYDC's better. gerald started feeling old. lol. yeah.. happy 20th gerald. welcome to da club. suddenly talked abt bowling and how we don't go anymore cos er... we're only free on weekends now and we can't just hop on the bus after sch and go bowl. and weekends are so expensive. yah. so tt's why we don't go anymore. cos we're OLD. bah.

i miss my life.

yay

my fringe is finally long enuf to be clipped up! ewen says it looks so much better now.. and that the last time he saw me it was really horrible. hahaha. bad hair's gone! whoohoo! i finally look normal. in fact, i quite like my fringe now.

so we went to the beach today. as expected.. they were all late!! like one hour can! to think i almost cabbed down cos i was late. sheesh. too bad ben had to leave early. haven't seen or spoken to him in a long time. and eileen pang seh-ed me! bleah. so in the end it was just dary, ewen, gerald, jeannette and I. the weather was nice. sunny but not that hot. we ate, cycled, then left. so bo liao! so difficult for me to get there and we left so early. and dint get to blade cos someone had a blister. oh well, let's go beaching again soon!

went to the hospital after that. godma's ok i think. but i was so sad when i saw her. she was like just sitting there. hm. at least i didn't cry or wat. heh. i feel like working in a hospital. haha.. i dono why.

oh yah. saw alot of cute dogs at the beach! there was one white one which was like hopping/ bounding up n down. so CUTE!!! can't wait till dary gets his dog. hehheh. can't wait till I get a dog! haha.. and tt will not be anytime soon...

ok shall go. bye.

To Heaven I Go?

if what they say is true.. that one hour of work= one hour of prayer, then i think after getting thru this week, i'm going to heaven for sure. spent dono how many hrs doing work this week!! argh.. thank God it's over! can take a breather. Godma went for an op today... the whole week i've just been worried abt this. so sian. had 2 essays n 1 presentation to do somemore. well, thank God she's ok now.. i hope.

oh. think i pai seh-ed myself during mass. haha. did prayers of the faithful and couldn't really see the words on the screen clearly... bad angle plus bad eyesight! haha. so i kept stumbling over my words. hahaha... and some parts of the sentences had like gaps? don't think my eyesight's that bad.. there really were gaps.. i think. gosh.. think i read like some kid who's just learning to read. hahaha. oh well.. was quite funny.

went to town wif mel n weng after mass. shopped abit... went to starbucks for a drink. before we knew it, twas 11. in the mrt station mel got hit by a sudden wave of nostalgia.. haha. sigh. i miss those days. i really do. even town looks so different now. sigh.

k lah. shall stop rambling.. nite.

Interesting...

went to SVDP for mass today wif godfolks. after goin there so many times i only just realised how much i like that church. it has the nice churchy feel. haha.

after tt, we went into some chinese temple near bugis area. haha! go church den go temple. lol. no no, we're not changing religion or wat. hah. i was just curious cos i'd never been into a temple before and we happened to be there so just went in to look see look see. the place was really crowded and i couldn't stand the smell of all the burning jossticks n all. haha. ppl were kneeling in fronta the altar praying fervently. anyways.. i felt pretty weird being in there.. yet intrigued at the same time. felt like i was in some foreign land.. like a tourist. haha. i mean.. i've never seen sucha sight before. that whole street was so .. un-singapore! loadsa ppl selling flowers outside the temple n fortune tellers n shops selling chinese herbs n stuff. oh and ppl touching the statue of buddha all over. rubbin his nose. haha. i'm a lousy singaporean. don't even noe my own country other than orchard road.

oh and wanted to go into the hindu temple beside the chinese one.. but decided not to. haha. i thought it was quite funny that chinese prayed at the hindu temple too. temple hopping?? pray to every god.. kiasu. haha. first to chinese temple.. den to hindu temple.. next.. to novena! haha.. there really are ppl who do that..

hello ppl! just an announcement... everyone shd go check out Renee Olstead's music!! she has an amazing range! and her voice's quite soothing heh.. it's no wonder she sings jazzy stuff. go listen to A love that will last and check out her version of Summertime too. i like it. if u guys like norah jones, i think you'd like her too.

oh best part is, she's only FOURTEEN. hah yeap. take that ashlee simpson and all u other cheesy teeny boppers. this girl's waaaay better than all u crap.

How to Get Pink Ants

leave can of bandung on table for approximately an hour. wait for ants to come. look closely. the ants are pink. i assume the ants were black but turned pink from taking in the bandung, and that the ants were not really pink ants to begin with. ok u get my point. oh, by the way, they look really scary.

Help!

next week's gonna be one helluva busy week. got 2 freakin essays due and i just realised tt i haf a presentation as well!! sigh

did real badly for my film and hist essay. got a "tick minus - you're a Pete Best". bah. i dun wanna be a pete best aka the loser drummer who got kicked out of The Beatles!!! i wanna be a john lennon! hahaha... oh well.. at least pete best was good looking, whereas lennon looked like crap and not to mention, he's dead now.

i'm all prepared to get a C for this module. shall have to do well for other mods then... which is hardly possible cos they are even more difficult?! sigh. my CAP is goin down this sem... just when i managed to get it up a little. i think this settles it then.. not gonna do honours. which means i'm gonna do shared major. ladeedum...

Er.. No Thanks.

went to meet my folks in suntec after mass today. the moment i stepped in, this woman looked at me and i was like "oh-oh. she's gonna ask me something". true enuf, she approached me and started talking in chinese (yes, they recog the cheena in me)! i tot maybe she wanted directions or wat.. but i thnk she was saying sth like don't worry.. cant rem wat. den another woman nearby came n was like.. don't be scared blah blah.. in chinese. well obviously i was like "wat the hell?!" and i cldn't understand half of wat they were saying.. i kept huh-ing. well somehow i managed to get wat they wanted.. which is...

TO GO TO THEIR CHURCH!!

geeeeeeez. so of course i kept saying no.. wanted to walk away but the woman kept talking. so finally i just said, "i'm catholic" (in english. how do u say tt in chinese anyway??) in the hope that that wud make them let me go. haha.. i thnk the woman's face changed la.. look of disappointment maybe. she was like "oh." haha. you will not have me!! muahaha.

anyway.. i still cldn't get away! cos then ANOTHER woman came and just rambled on. so the THREE of them were like talking to me. asked me which church i go to n all. i said holy trinity and one woman nodded "ohhhh.." i seriously doubt she noes it. den one asked "so u go to church since young?" yah. "so now u don't go anymore?" i do. anyhow assume tt i don't! said stuff like now students stress blah blah come join us... along those lines lah. i was very civil thruout. haha. smiling n all. i even asked them back "so which church are u all from?" central christian church or sth... unheard of..

can u imagine.. they were staking out at the entrance of suntec! waiting for their targets.. students like me. on one hand, i admire their courage for being able to approach random strangers to evangelise like that. on the other.. i think.. it's not very effective?? i mean. three women old enuf to be my mother.. comin up to me like that.. talking abt sch n all.. asking me to join them oldies? if i were someone who didn't know christ, i think i'd be damn scared? and intimidated.. or more likely, PISSED! i wasnt' pissed... their hearts were in the right place... just er.. the approach was wrong?

in the end i told them i wasn't interested.. got my own church man.. hmm... wat an interesting encounter. later i realised should've asked them to come check out our catholic church instead. good chance to let em christians noe more abt us. hah. think that wud haf scared THEM away. yes.. that's wat i'd do.. if there's a next time.

It's Over!

our term in Candle that is. today was AGM so yeah now we have a new comm. was kinda weird for me... as in.. i almost wanted to be in comm again. was feeling uneasy abt not joining.. maybe even guilty since we were short of ppl. but i was afraid.. cos i remembered how tired of Candle i was. how i didn't wanna write anymore. and i rem how for the last few issues we were kinda running out of ideas. i didn't really feel like i could contribute anymore to Candle. if i look at my old blog posts, i'd find alot abt being happy to be ending my term in candle. haha. don't mind helping out though. so decided to offer my lousy service to help in layout. hahaaha.. me? doing layout? computer work? HAH. but i'm sian of editing.. so i'd rather try something new. no harm learning right? as long as i don't screw up our layout and become more of a hindrance than help.. hehheh.

everytime i go for AGMs i get the feeling that i shd join. like during arts agm.. ppl asked why i wasn't running for comm. and 'don't feel like it' doesn't really count for a good reason. and during TM as well.. when u see that they are really in need of comm members.. u can't help but feel.. uneasy n guilty?? like u shd be doing something... that maybe it's wat He wants u to do. but how can u be sure anyway? i just keep telling myself 'i don't wanna'. cos i'm scared of the commitment.. cos i'm scared that i'd wanna give up halfway.. scared tt i wldn't be gd enuf. i dono.. just lazy and gutless perhaps. haha.

we had a talk by anthony who was in the first candle comm! one of the founders.. he brgt up some interesting points. he said sth that particularly struck me.. sth abt serving where you're needed. ahhh i can't rem wat he said! damn.

anyway.. wats the point of this post? i dono. gnite.

Chinese Master?

i think i'm slowly but surely forgetting whatever little chinese i know. during dinner my dad mentioned some mu4 gua1 drink. i thought for a split second, gave up, and asked,
"wat is mu gua?"

for the benefit of other chinese idiots (if any) out there mu gua is PAPAYA! geez.. it's not that i didn't know that.. learnt tt in pri sch heh. just that at that moment i couldn't be bothered to go and recall it's meaning heh. and my dad's chinese is like.. BAD. he can't read, write or even speak chinese (onli selected words haha). but he knew wat mu gua was and i didn't! oh and i found chinese newspapers in my house just now!!! *stunned*

could my dad actually be a master of chinese in disguise...??

Retail Therapy!!

after a tiring week of sch, rewarded myself by tiring myself out shopping with weng and mel! wheee! got a backpack! from Roxy! it's SO nice. mel got a Roxy bag too. cute! now we got new bags for sch. yay! i think my bag would look nicer with CJ uniform tho.. sigh. too old to carry these kinda bags. bah. the whole day we were complaining about being old. haha.. was quite funny actually.

after tt, got a skirt! i'm FAT i tell ya.. i tried so many but they were all high at my waist (cos too small la!) instead of hips so the skirts ended up being too SHORT! like.. indecently short can. hoho one cldn't even cover my butt. so anyways.. i finally found wat i was looking for. a pink skirt! yeap. now i can look like a pink pig! i think the skirt is not very NUS stairs friendly tho.. if u noe wat i mean... haha. ooh. got shoes too!

haha.. buying spree sia. but oh well.. i'm happy. we're happy. cos we all bought something! heh. and we're still not too old to shop at Roxy! YAY!

Venturing Into the Great Unknown...

yea that's wat i did today. had IT tutorial at SoC.. saw the big 'sch of COMPUTING' word on the building so i went there and took the lift to the 6th floor, happy that i found the place. saw a door which had 'sch of computing' on it, went in, walked a few rounds lost... looking for the room. that place looked pretty crappy and there was no one around. so ulu! quite scary. and the lift no air one. almost died in there. anyways, found out from someone that i was in the wrong building. science is so big and confusing.... ok, i'm just to stupid for science. haha.

oh bought this book titled A poor man's proof for the existence of God fm legion. sounds interesting! read a few pgs.. dono if i shd continue tho.. cos i have tons of boring lit books to trudge thru. sigh...

had this ala carte buffet dinner wif folks at some restaurant. i'm so full now. my bro asked me to burn some mp3s for him. i asked 'wat songs u want?' and he said 'yours all pop ah?' wah lao! i have better taste than that la? i think i listen to more rock than him lor. then he went on to slam emo saying 'you like dashboard and all that rubbish?' double wah lao! watever. i'll just throw in some songs tt i like haha. he couldn't even specify wat he wanted. the best he could do was 'slow rock' and even then he couldn't name any bands tt he wanted. sheesh.

Boredom In The Arts Canteen

lalala.. i'm in the arts canteen now. haha. bored. weng is beside me now. hi weng!
haha. uhm.. waiting for candle welcome tea to start. hope that some ppl will come...

oh. lit sucks. was in tutorial just now and i had the i-shouldn't-be-doing-lit feeling. i felt so stupid. maybe i'll reconsider next sem. haha. for now i'll just have to go thru my mountain of books. argh. they look damn boring.

ok lah. dono wat to blog about. sch's boring. not worth blogging about. bye.

Yesterday

was too sleepy to blog last night.. so will blog now

Charkwa's bday brunch was pretty fun! the food was reli yummy! pancakes, MAPLE SYRUP, toast, fruit salad! yummm! mel's house was so neat! haha.. no more cloth strewn all over the place and all. the table was CLEARED! and crazy as this may sound, i think i kinda miss all that cloth. haha.

went to Dary's party after that. we made our costumes for nothing!!! bah. as expected, no one dressed up. ok save for this other girl who had a cool mask. i think she must've felt stupid bringing it. so my cat ears and tail, mel's angel wings, weng's high and pointy boots, gerald's ARMPIT hair (?!) and sh's scarf didn't get to show themselves. we definitely didn't wanna look like idiots amongst the rest of the normal looking ppl. haha. hell, some ppl weren't even in black! didn't know like half the ppl there (cos we weren't introduced! silly dary.) and anways we weren't exactly interested in knowin the ppl there either. cos everyone else's like still in JC. haha, so we were unsociable and we ended up leaving pretty early cos we were feeling OLD and sleepy and er.. bored. heh, sorry dary! nice effort for the party tho! oh and Happy Birthday!

oh yah. and i think i looked like cleopatra last nite. my godma said so too. all thanks to my wonderful bangs. yuck! please grow out soon..

i'm sleepy... maybe i'll go take a nap. byeee.

Stupid Thing

tt blogger bar right at the top is damn irritating! destroyin my layout! bah. i dono if i should change my layout.. am too lazy and i like this one! maybe when i get sick of pink. hah like tt's gonna happen anytime soon...

i made cat ears today. but somehow they don't really look... catty. i dono wat it looks like. maybe more like a fox's ears. haha. and i look damn stupid in them. i dono if i'll actually have the guts to wear em tmr. hmm...

didn't have lesson today cos lecturer couldn't make it. heh. lucky didn't haf cos it was like raining the whole day! so nice to stay home and just slack.. ahhh...

What to wear? What to wear??

dono wat to wear to dary's costume party.. heh. sheep, cow or cat? haha. a cow would be udderly hilarious. hoho a black sheep wud be damn funny too i reckon. cat is semi-normal and easier to do i guess. but doesn't seem as fun. haha.. i think i'm gonna look damn weird there. haha! prolly the only idiot who'd dress up as such a stupid thing! haha. this is damn fun. ok i think i'll stick to the more normal looking cat.

meeeeoowwwwwwwweeeeeeee!

Free Day!

i watched The Return. it's this russian film. mm... not too bad lah. i thought the acting was really good. as was the cinematography. ohoh and it was in the small theatre in cine! it was so cosy and nice. like private screening. hahah.. and even tho we were sitting in the first row, it wasn't too bad.

had apple cinnamon muffin from coffee club. mmm... it's been three months since i've had muffins from there! yummaye. shall rem to get the next time i have lect in LT11.

ok got a damned lect at 10 tmr. gtg slp now. bah. i'm not even sleepy yet.

Beatlemania!

today's film and history lec's the coolest lesson ever! heh. we got to watch The Beatles Anthology! i love The Beatles but i've never actually bothered to find out about how they started out and all so.. now i know! the documentary was actually quite boring.. but i was interested just cos i like them haha. oh and before the lec started they were showing this U2 video.. and during the breaks, they played some songs by The Beatles! how cool is that! this module is looking to be fun.. however, the upcoming essay doesn't sound easy... bleah. don't really know what is expected of us. think we were all abit... confused. haha.

i wish i lived in that era.. the 50/60s. rock and roll era! the kinda music tt i like heh. so fun. bet i would've been one of em crazy Beatles' fans.

xinye and sunshine said tt i look like a little girl wif my new hair. ugh...

had dinner at fong seng.. haha.. it's been a long time! three months sia.. not tt i miss the food there... hah.

oh yah. my mom drove me to sch today hahahah! and she was afraid she wouldn't know how to get home fm NUS so we had to pick my bro up from my gram's hse just to be the navigator! lol. and my mom's a lousy/ scary driver! haha. like she slows down when she doesn't need to.. and her driving's abit jerky. but oh well.. i was damn happy i got a ride and dint hafta take stupid public transport. heh.

ok. gnite!

so today was Assumption.. haha. i thought i'd missed it. mass was good. oh and there's an article on Francis in the catholic news! heh got nice pic somemore! coolness. there was another article in the cat news that i thought was rather erm... helpful. lemmie just quote..

"at mass today, Jesus invites us to come to the feast not because our lives are perfect but because we have freely embraced his gift of mercy... all he asks is that we hold on to our confidence that he will never abandon us."

later met up with sh, gerald, benedict to go see fireworks. was not worth the crowd i tell ya! for a mere few mins of colorful stuff in the air. but yeah it was a pretty sight.

and since today is Assumption...

my soul glorifies the Lord
my spirit rejoices in God, my Saviour
He looks upon his servant in her lowliness
henceforth all ages will call me blessed

the Almighty works marvels for me
holy his name!
His mercy is from age to age
on those who fear him

He puts forth his arm in strenght
and scatters the proud-hearted
He casts the mighty from their thrones
and raises the lowly

He fills the starving with good things,
sends the rich away empty

He protects Israel, his servant,
remembering his mercy
the mercy promised to our fathers
to Abraham and his sons forever

i think i miss Legion....

Friday!!

yay first week of sch is over! haha. ohoh marketing the arts n leisure services looks to be damn fun! we're actually gonna do a proposal for a real company! my group's doing the sleeping beauty.. this ballet. so cool right!! so we're supposed to get in touch with the ppl and come up with a marketing plan and they might use it if it's really really good.

welcome mass was good. our very last issue of Candle was given out. guess i will miss the feeling of excitement everytime a new issue comes out. oooh the food was not bad too! heh. and quite alot of ppl came.. i think.

went shoppin with weng before sch. heh. we got our tops from Topshop. yay! and i get to sleep in tmr. double yay!

Dim Sum Fun!

Dim Sum Dollies was exellent!! was laugh-out-loud-till-stomach-ache-almost-to-tears funny! and the songs were very catchy and the singing was damn good! i like emma yong! oooh and of course there were the beefcakes aka hot men who were at their beck and call. coolness! hehe. i also want. ahh.. was so fun the show! all the spoofs and jabs at all the recent stuff that's made the news.. haha.

oh and so many went to watch! met Fr. JP and gang there too! they were sitting right in fronta us haha. later met some Student Council seniors as well. Pix was there.. and this guy who kept looking at me and giving me the i-know-you face but i think i just looked at him with the am-i-supposed-to-know-you? face. haha. don't remember him at all. i'll check the yearbook! haha.

lalala! i had a great time! and go watch Dim Sum Dollies if you haven't already! you won't regret it!

My Free Day

caught the notebook with weng today. not too bad! ryan gosling's so cute. haha. then we did a little shopping. i got some shirt from Fox. that's all! i need more clothes...

then we went to sch for welcome tea. i actually went to sch on my free day!? what's wrong with me... but was ok.. got to meet some nice freshies. they all seem very erm... excited? and they were all very chatty and all. good. at least they're not boring. haha. oh and that alastair guy who was on singapore idol was in my grp. yeah.. the guy who got told off for having a bad attitude. i watched tt but i can't remember him at all! haha. wat an unusual name he has. haha at first i heard it as balastier. haha stupid me. anyways, yah he does have this stuck up look i guess.. but when i talked to him he was normal. was friendly and smiled and all. alot of freshies left early haha and well, me too. rushed home to watch singapore idol! hah. just hope that they stay in CSS. and hang out at the arts corner often. would certainly be more interesting with them around.

oh oh and someone got bluffed tt i'm a freshie! haha yay! he was like, 'you're one of those freshies who tries to pass off as a senior right!' haha i WISH ah!! i feel so old. bleah. but at least i can still pass off as a freshie. i sound so pathetic. hahahha. watever.

have a 10am lect tmr. bummer.

School Sucks

maybe i should change my layout back to the sch sucks one. bah. as expected, today's lesson was crap. total waste of my time! ugh. i should've followed my better senses and skipped it. i spent more time travelling to sch than actually being in sch can!!

the moment i stepped out of the bus and started rushing to class (i was quite late) i thought "ugh, i'm back in this place again". and the scariest place in arts now is the co-op. i wanted to get my books but now you have to queue to get ur books, then queue AGAIN to pay for them!! wat the..!? and the queues were freakin long! and the place was so crowded so i just left.

say it with me now ... school sucks! no no! NUS SUCKS!!!

PPP!

post-production party was great! food was so yummy!! mudpie!

mass was beautiful.. the chapel too! essence of love for closing was SO wonderful. it sounded fab and was so touching! haha.

toured the friary. it's sooooooo nice!! the design... wahhhh. their rooms are waaaay nicer than hotel rooms!! simple, sleek and elegant. the library's damn cool too with the automated shelves thingy. i wanna live there man! really! swimming pool n rooftop for tanning n all haha! they even have a talk-cock corner. so cute! think it must be quite fun.. living together n all. like hall! haha.. only living conditions here 10 times better.

we caught singapore idol and it was hilarious! the lemon tree guy just started a new dance craze man.. haha. after tt we had our own song and dance performances. haha.. joel was a popular fave! performed twice haha. in front of jason somemore!! *applause* and there was ben and derrick with their wonderful angel's dance. br jo and maurice's awkward assisi dance. funny!! and of course, crew's Screw and the Drill. lol. so fun to spoof everything.

had loadsa fun but kinda sad too lah cos this really marks the end of our journey. for the past two weeks i've been looking forward to this day and now we can't even say "see you at PPP" anymore.

wat if we never see some ppl again?? those who graduated already like amelia, reggie, mitch ngern, mel kwok.. and of cos br jo and derrick. they'll be having fun at the friary (ok, tt sounded weird) while we're in sch. cannot get to see derrick's fantastic dancing anymore! haha. not to mention his jokes. and no more br jo who tries to irritate me by making funny faces at me (when i'm drinking!) or pushing me to one side so he can overtake me and get out the door before me. he reminds me of my brother abit actually. same age somemore. i wish i had a brother who's a friar! imagine when ppl ask wat ur bro does, u can say "oh, he's a friar!" instead of the usual "oh he's working in some office". so cool rite! hahaha. well, since I can't be a friar.. having a bro who's one wud be good. heh.

was just wondering... why do we call br jo 'brother' when derrick is just derrick. derrick's been a brother longer somemore. oh and.. will ur eyelashes really grow longer if u cut them??? hmm... think not.

ok i shd sleep. gnite all!! *hugs*

Class Gathering 2

wow. for one and a half yrs we never met up and now within the span of 2 weeks we've met up twice! haha. the infamous two Ds, debbie and daphne, came today. they're still the same! talk non stop. haha.. but was gd to see them again lah. i actually forgot tt daph was in my lit class in sem 1... and i was saying tt i dint noe she was in arts too. gosh.. my memory's really failing me.

so we bbq-ed at Aidan's place.. had marshmellows many many! yummm. then we watched the arsenal man-u match. wat a typical thing to do! haha. but was fun lah.

oh yesterday my 2nd brother asked me if he should pierce his ear. hahahaha. i was so shocked i was like 'eeeeeeee! no!' he wants to wear the diamond earrings tt he got from our aunt. gross lah! dimond earrings on a guy??? and i don't think he was kidding abt tt.. eeks. i don't like guys who wear earrings. unless they look really really cool in them. and tt's not easy.

the other brother was back fm KL yesterday and he said tt my room looked like an earthquake hit it. or was it tornado...? ah watever. u get the idea. haha. well he should've seen the mess i made in HIS room when he wasn't around. hehe. lalala.. hols are over and i haven't cleaned my room yet.. haven't cleared my mess downstairs either. this box of stuff has been there since i moved out of hall in sem 1!!! heh! also haven't compiled my JC fotos into the album tt i bought. the house is only going to get messier when sch starts since i do not haf a room in hall to mess! imagine the mess in my room in hall (some of u mite noe)... it will all be transferred to my house. muahaha.

my parents are gonna totally freak!!!
