i haven't been updating in a while, have i?
just got super lazy
so here are the updates:

1. went to watch the commendation ceremony at st andrew's cathedral
really nice on the inside, all stained glass and white walls
muslim students were actually excused, but i went to support danielle
no offense meant to anyone, but the one hour seemed really long in there
but some parts were interesting
and now dan's a councillor! with a badge!
hehe

2. a majority of paternal female cousins stayed with us for the weekend
which equals to 7 girls, ranging from age 17 to age 8
six of us were all at our grandma's house, but only one parent was willing to send us
from jalan singa (eunos) to woodlands
so there were six of us in the back seat
can u imagine?! younger ones sitting on the laps of the older ones
everyone passing by the car looked into the backseat incredulously
haha

3. watched harry potter!
on sunday, the 7 of us trooped to marsiling station and headed for dhoby ghout
to watch the movie at plaza singapura
luckily my bro had booked the tickets for us thru AXS
met my bro, who arrived by motorbike
(and had never really cared to watch a movie with us before this)
bought the snacks
met two other, older, female cousins
(which makes the count ten; 9 girls, and my poor bro, the only guy)
and headed in to watch the movie
all ten of us sat in a row, so u can imagine how hard it was to share the snacks
and another stupid thing happened:
i spilled 3/4 of the popcorn on the carpet!!

the movie was... ok, i guess
i decided not to read the book again before watching the moves so i would watch it with an open mind
but i still have a few complaints about the movie
a few discrepancies like how did the kids,
other than harry and luna who can actually see the scaly horse/bird,
manage to ride them?
it wasn't explained, so it may have been confusing to ppl who haven't read the book
they should have at least shown the funny process of ron or somebody groping around on the "invisible" creature
and the part harry got possessed by lord V was hilarious
he looked constipated... hehe
and harry watching snape's memory was supposed to be done in the pensieve, and not during an occlumency session
things like this messes about with my memory of the story
so i'd give the movie about 3.5-4/5

so after that, we went to pizzahut to eat
we were told to wait half an hour before they could get a table for 10 ready
so we split up, and explored plaza sing
i was constantly keeping a headcount of the kids
didn't want to accidentally lose one of them

overall, it was fun, except when my brother made my younger sister cry
while the rest of us were goofing around, making funny faces

4. tuesday, went to the airport at 7 in the morning to see my cousins off
before this, they hadn't been back in a year
so i'd really missed them
and now it was goodbye again
:'(
but i'll visit them after them damned A levels are over
after i get my results, and a motorbike license

=)

watched transformers!! OMG! it was so good
funny, full of action, fantastic special effects... what more could fina ask for?
it was so good, in fact, that steph held her pee for 1 hr 45 minutes just so she wouldn't miss anything!

hehe
so this week has mostly been a very relaxed week in school
an example of a typical day at sajc for me is:
thursday> first lecture, SEA history, then PE, then 1/2 hour break, 1 hour PW, 3 hours break, and then GP cancelled.

thus, basically, the only lesson we had was history, and that was first thing in the morning!
ugh...
but i'm not really complaining cos u noe i hate studying rite? haha
later i'm going over to my cousin's house to deposit my stuff, then head over to the NDP preview show thingie

and after that, my grandma's house,
cos my aussie-living cousins are here!!! yea!!


hmmm... amazing race was... undescribable
on the one hand, we had a "class outing" (albeit to potong pasir only)
on the other hand, it got very sian after a while, so we gave up with 30 minutes left in the game, and went to eat =)

hehe
ouh, the other day, i saw this cute tee at GAP
omg i really want it! (or was it at esprit?)
and it's not that pricey too
hmm, but when in the world am i gonna find the time to head there again?
so, bye bye GAP tee, hello
national day tee

hahah
but seriously, do u noe how hard it is to find a red polo tee for women in causeway point?!
walked everywhere, couldn't find even one
until we came to esprit, but becos it was $49.90, my parents wouldn't let me buy it
so i'll have to make do with a white collared tee then
haish, no national day spirit at all man

okay, that's it
fina =)

congrats to my cousin who had her convocation yesterday at NUS =)
she was graduating with a Masters degree, with honours,
and even got the Runme Shaw award...

hahah
now, if only her smartness would rub off on me...
=)

i'm so bored...
in the school library now with pat, yiqi and kellyn,
while everybody else is having mother tongue...

ok; that's it
just wanted to find something to do

see ya =)

omg i so love Po from the teletubbies!!
she just makes me wanna say *eeeee! so cuuuttteeee!!!!!*
hahah
seriously, when she say *eh-oh tinky winky, ehoh dipsy, eh-oh laalaa* when greeting the others...
hahah just so a-frickkin'-dor-able heehee XD

do u see now the appeal of po?
hahah

ok, so this week is one that i'm hoping will be relaxed...
monday holiday, friday college day,
and all i need is for wednesday and thursday to be relaxed
*please, can you grant me this one+++(in case i have more) wish?*

i got a keychain from liepzig
yay!! exactly what i wanted
even if he (bro) deigned to buy me only one thing
and nothing else,
i'd still hope for it to be a keychain, to add to my collection
and i got it! (possibly to make up for the other keychain-less trips to dusseldorf and guangzhou)
hehe

and of course the customary chocolates he always buys
and cookies! heavenly, 40% choc chip, cookies!!
and pencil cases, and a handbag for Mama
and lots of pics and videos
okay, this is one trip i'm happy with :)

met up with syaz after econs paper last thursday
caught up on old times
it's been a while since i've looked at the sky during the day
the only times i remember that vast canvas of wondrous colours domed over our heads
is at night
so here's a picture of that sky
but it's not that nice
except for the contrast between the darker and lighter clouds

monday was shopping day - hari-raya-shopping-for-fabrics day!
went to that building on bencoolen street with the huge OG sign
wasn't impressed
walked to bugis, and the street shops there blew me away
can't wait to revisit
:)

then went to arab street to look for fabrics
found one italian designer silk
huge flowers-looking-like-butterflies
psychedelic shades of blue, pink and yellow
hehe
might be too big to look nice as baju kurung, but i really loved the colours!
went to countless stores
bought that "kotak-kotak" (checkered) kind, from kashmir
lavender/gray/cream, paired with a plain cream kind of fabric
walked around some more before sis finally found something she liked
and the nice shopkeepers were so persuasive,
that from not wanting to buy any for herself,
that my mom ended up buying two different fabrics
talk about good salesmanship
hahah

and finally, today, looked at some perasan-cute/sexy girl's blog
eww, her pic on her blog's page was so... flat
and i do crudely mean the boobage area
totally went "ugghh" at her pics and posts
makes me wonder why i even bother visiting that blog...
oh yeah! to gawk and laugh at this kind of person
hahah so mean
i remember leaving a sarcastic comment, don't think she let it be posted though
don't wanna say it here
too bitchy... hehe

ok then
*sings* "it ends tonight" for now...
good night, sleep tight, and no, i don't think there are bedbugs
(they existed in them long ago non-springs mattresses, so no worries about bites :])

fina <3>

yesterday was spent a my cousin's funeral
on tuesday, after he was transferred back into the ICU,
the doctors called and said that "there was no hope"
he was already on life support and couldn't breathe on his own

and on wednesday, at 1.45 am
i got a call from my mum saying he'd passed on

in fact, he's on the front page of today's berita harian newspaper

i was never really close to this cousin
but looking at the people he left behind
his kids, his wife, his parents and siblings, crying...
the funeral was so heartbreaking
hmm

i don't deal well with death
don't know why

*and i need to study*

fina

sooo long since i've posted

updates*:

saturday; went syaz's house with diana to play games
am so in love with the latest need4speed
hahah
and the steering wheel and brake and acceleration pedals
did u noe we had to break the law to gather a $1000 bounty in the game and then run away from the police?
hahah
i racked a bounty of over $25,000 (took a long time of running away)
not including the damage to state property (i crashed into busstops and gas stations and cars and trucks)
but i finally got caught. needless to say, my character was treated roughly; i got a smack in the head for my exploits in the game.
haha

anyways, after that, i finished packing for my cameron/melacca trip
cleaned my room
and waited till 2 in the morning to wake everyone up to leave
hmm how was the trip?

cameron was fine
went to a butterfly farm where they have all these insects pinned onto displays
so many beautiful butterflies up there: blue ulysses, bluebottle, blue jay...
and some psychedelic-ly coloured butterflies
felt kinda guilty about them butterflies dying tho

the food we ate:
satay
tom yam soup (yum yAm!)
strawberries! with cream! and ice-cream!!!

hahah
went down to melacca after two nights
alas, equatorial and the legacy were full, as was city bayview and everly (hmm, forgot about the renaissance)
so we stayed at a really old "the emperor hotel"

and we shopped! hahah
finally found a pair of jeans
not levis, not lee, just VJ
yup, i've never heard of it either hahah
but the lee and levis stores either didn't have the size or the cut i wanted


came back on thursday evening
have done nothing to study since then
i did bring notes on the trip
but i spent the time reading sci-fi books
hehe

anyways, should start studying. i should, i should
guess i'll have breakfast/lunch first

happy brunch!! =)

fina

okay, so i'm writing this now with tears in my eyes
no, nothing bad happened to me
i was just watching ekaterina gordeeva and sergei grinkov skate together
on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBu7Ex7RiMM
watched a whole lot of their other performances yesterday
(and cried some more)
but this is still my fav
the first one i ever saw

they were the best pairs skaters ever
paired together in 1982 when she was 11 and he 15
were world champions at their first try in 1986
married in 1991
and so in love
and he died in 1995
such a sad story

she has a book called "my sergei: a love story"
it had pictures of them with their daughter, really sad cos it felt more real that way
i was crying when i read the introduction
had to continue at home or the people on the mrt would think i was loony
haha


anyways,
the way they skate makes you really believe that they're in love
such harmony and understanding in their moves
even before i knew they were married that first time i saw them skate,
i was so in love with their apparent love
*sighs*
u really should watch the video on youtube
the song they skate to is perfect for them

and in the last part of the video,
scott hamilton (i think) says:
you see them together on or off the ice,
and all you want is for them to live happily ever after

truer words were never spoken
but alas, he died of a heart attack in his prime at 28
*tear*

now ekaterina (or katia) is married to another skater
former world champion ilia kulik
i've seen him skate before, really masterful and skilled
but when they duet on the ice, it's not the same
not the same harmony
granted, he is a singles skater and so not trained to be a pairs skater

when i first found out that she had re-married,
i felt strangely betrayed
like "how could she forget sergei, blah blah blah"
but if she's happy with a guy 6 years her junior,
then i'm happy for her
and she did look happy and content with her new husband,
and daughters daria (w/ sergei) and elizaveta (w/ ilia)

(though i still stubbornly feel that the pair she made with sergei
was still the most amazing and inspiring pair ever)

just watch the video, and you'll know how i feel
=)

fina

yesterday was fun =)

before the acjc perbayu thing,
bought a pair of slippers
(my first in two years; just didn't get around to buying one)
and had dinner at banquet (sashimi again)

decided i was too lazy to go all the way to bras basah to go to a library
and decided to limit my search to woodlands lib
needless to say, the choice of books there on louis braille is pathetic
and thus, i found only one childrens' book on him
yea, real useful for PW
hahah

anyways, then went to meet syaz at wdlands st
and met another syaz and an attasya (i think that's the spelling)
walked to acjc from bueno vista st.
arrived early
waited for the LT3 doors to open after getting the tix
blah, blah, blah
the play was fine
acting was good
though my butt went numb at one point of the show

but after that, a-HAH, was when the fun started
i shall not divulge our activities henceforth
but i got to explore more of singapore =)

anyways, reached home at 12.30
watched tv till 1.30 although i was dying of sleepiness
and had one of the best dreams in my life
hahah

all i can say about that dream is that
i got to become queen of the fairies
and rake apples off a huge enchanted tree (mine, o'course)
hahah
and did something bold that shocked me
but i'm glad i did it (in my dream, i mean)
oh! and i got to eat chocolate in my dream!
could really taste it, too =)

(u noe, the setting for my bold action was in a "chocolate factory" setting
hahaha
someone mentioned that workers were wasting chocolate
by throwing away the entire product when a tiny mistake was made
and i made my move
hehe)

anyways, that's it
listen to hellogoodbye's here in your arms
i <3 the melody
something i can wail to at home

fina=)

a few exceptions to things i normally don't have an inclination for:
(so naturally, i won't talk about sleeping 12 hours cos that's normal)
(i noe, lame, ERR!)

firstly, things that make fun of bsb
yup, i'm a rabid fan of the bsboys
BUT
i spent the whole of yesterday night watching the chinese backstreetboys (or backdormboys)
lol
if you don't know who they are
you seriously need to get out more, dudes
(or stay in more, depending on how you look at it.)
they just graduated from guangzhou college of fine arts last june
anyways, i honestly love the backstreet boys to death
but i seriously cannot deny that these boys are hilarious
like, "lmfao" kind of hilarious
their parody of i want it that way is one of the best!
i especially liked the song "bu de bu ai" or summat like that
the one usually on the left (huang yi xin) has a rubber face that's laugh-worthy
and he took on the female role in the song so flawlessly
the one on the left (wei wei) played the cool guy
but still as funny
seriously, go watch it on youtube
your asses will fall off from laughing, i guarantee you
and if it doesn't, then you can treat me to iced milo =))
ohh, and in almost all their videos, their roommate is in the background
playing counterstrike, seemingly oblivious to their singing
but he participates in some videos
hehe
here's the link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrYxk-taX3g
GO WATCH IT!!!

second exception to things normally not-liked by me:
techno (??!!)
now i'm listening to hellogoodbye's "here in your arms"
hmm... might not be techno
a novice like me wouldn't noe
but it rocks!!
not much the beats, but the melody of the song
so wistful and... i dunnoe
just so believably in love
u noe?
i don't guess u do
hahah
listen here to get what i mean:


third thing:
reading my old posts
but now that i've gone and done it
i realise that my old posts
(not the early ones, those were BAAADDD,
no proper sentences, writing like a bimbo:
"i lub fantasia"??!!
yuucckkks)
were fewer in between than recently
but more interesting
like, my writing stye then was much more enjoyable to read than now
like my post last june 2006 on the world cup
haish
i wish i could still write like that
but considering that my english grades weren't so good then
i wonder if it's better to write as i did then or now

hmm, yesterday, i counted the number of stars in the sky at night
and there were more than twenty!
seriously, that many!
granted, i wasn't surrounded by buildings,
nor was there light pollution
i love stars
don't you?
who doesn't love stars?
they seriously need to check their heads man
hahah
looking at stars is one of the reasons
i'm begging my parents to bring us to kuantan this june
east malaysia beaches, clear skies at night
can't wait
but we're waiting to go till after my brother leaves for germany
then it's off frolicking by the sea!
yay!!

hmm
tmr gonna start on the group working file
darn!
it's not graded, yet she's so anal about these things
PW is such a chore
haish
gonna stock up on more sleep tonight though
as i've been doing since friday mwa-ha-ha!
alrightey then

till next post,
fin=)

*update* went home and checked, the blog looks fine at home, so half the entry is now redundant anyways...

*original post*
shitts man. can't change the skin of the blog
i thought i did on sunday
but when i checked to day
it was still the same

WHYYYYY??!!
did everything i possibly could from the school lab to change it
but alas, i was unsuccessful
so i'm still stuck with the grey old boring skin
sorry hayden, but this skin really is getting boring

anyways, yesterday
we fetched my brother from the airpost
as always, his face was-how do you say it- Sour?
we had tea at polar
and went home

didn't think he'd buy me anything, since i forgot to ask him to
usually i ask him to buy me a keychain, since i wanna widen my collection of 'em
(u noe what else is a bugger? him forgetting to buy me a keychain when he went to germany and switzerland! all he brought back were chocolates. but i digress...)
but he actually remembered to buy me something!
=)

my sister can attest to the fact that i've been staring longingly at wooden construction kits whenever we pass by a stall selling them
(especially the carousel ones. oh! and the windmills!)
so i was glad he bought me a construction kit
one of a dragon and phoenix holding a ball of flame or sth
darned complicated
more complicated than the three story wooden house i made last year

i'm so jealous though of my sis
she got the carousel!!!
how unfair is that?!
and when i offered to help her build it,
"NO", she said," i wanna do it this time"
ungrateful! (u do understand that all this ranting just comes from jealousy, right? no offence to anyone)

haish
guess i'll end my depressing post here
mayhaps the next post won't be so childish and whiny

=)fin

heyy!!

hahah
went shopping at mustafa centre yesterday
and as i am wont to do, i took nearly every item i saw and put it in our trolley

no lah, i'm grossly over-exaggerating
but because of me
we spent $175 on groceries
not including the 80 bucks we spent on toiletries
hahah

(interesting) items bought:
32" sharp LCD tv (yay! finally sth to replace our 11-yr old 25")
Bickford's CREAMY SODA (this rocks man =)
Bavaria Beer (non-alcoholic though)
raspberries (love<3)
mac and cheese (sth else tt's <3)
some breadcrumb covered thing that oozes parmesan cheese when fried =)


loved the creamy soda, hated the beer
i canNOT, for the life of me, comprehend why people like beer
it tastes so bitter, so tasteless
so... UUGGHH *shudders*
disgusting
the can's still in the fridge, just short of one sip
don't think anybody's gonna finish it
but it was only $1.60, so i won't feel guilty about throwing it away

oh, on friday, went orchard wiith steph to shop for a school bag
shortlisted two adidas bags
but couldn't decide on one, so we left it at that
we shared a packet of hershey's chocolate-covered marshmallows with strawberry jelly filling
while drinking coke at yoshinoya(or summat like that)
yum :P

hehe
looked for the adidas bags at mustafa's yesterday
three other bags that we saw on friday
but nothing of them adidas ones i loved
oh well...
still unsure about them
so i guess i'll shop around some more

ok then
my post ends here for today
till next week,
fin=)

(p.s. below is the pic of that beer i hated. hehe)

so today was my first experience in getting a green slip.
quite easy to get, though the teacher was suspicious, and rightly so,
considering that our class was so-called a "green slip-class".
everyday, at least one person gets a green slip, and at least one person's absent.
in fact, some people get green slips just cos they wanna go home early
something i've considered, but never tried
one day, myfriend, one day
hahah

but my sickness is real.
got some virus in my stomach or something
must be the kway teow i ate at around 11am yesterday
about 4 hours after that, diarrhoea began
really, painful stomach aches, and the shitting
or lao sai, as they call it :P
hahah
such explicit content.

anyway, miss zhou told me and keed(who also got a green slip) to go see a doctor
and i went home
liying wanted to leave school early with me(12.45 is the earliest we're allowed to go)
but the jaga won't let her pass w/o a green slip
so i had to go home first

watched tv, ate some cheese pancake thing from jollybean
(bad decision; the doctor just told me not to eat that)
then went to a private doctor with my parents

doctor game me MC for today and tmr, without me having to ask
just in case, he said
thank you doctor :)
hahah
we were in and out in less than an hour
god, it was so much less time-wasting than polyclinics

anyway, now i've got a runny nose, possibly from some other patient
and my parents won't let me go bowling tomorrow
oh shit! just remembered
that i have to give back some form for this year's A level fees or summat

do i go tmr?
will miss zhou mind?
guess i'll have to sms her then

btw, did u noe, our class has some inside jokes about certain people in school?
hahah
like this series of "miss **** is so thin that..." jokes
hilarious
and even some "***** is so mean that..."
hahah
just thought i'd share one with u:
"miss **** is so thin that when she takes the mrt, people keep trying to grab on to her, thinking that she was the pole"
heheh

so mean of us, right?
anyways...
feeling drowsy now


see ya ;)

so i've been greatly procrastinating on my GP compre
been walking around the house all day, moaning about how i do not want to do a GP compre

GOSH! i really do hate doing comprehension passages. i keep writing answers that i don't think are good enough, and i never know what the questions really want. uurrgghhh!

tried studying for my SEA history test today too. haven't gotten past Burma yet. and there're like, vietnam, malaya, indonesia and the philippines left to study? and bloody econs?

abso-bloody-lutely gorgeous. hahah. don't mean to curse there, but in situations like these, i just feel like i have no choice but to do so.

now i'm still moaning over the compre, trying to finish it before the end of the arsenal match against chelsea, but i noe i won't. still...

that's it for now, i guess. posts have been few and far in between, not to mention always relatively short, but can't be helped, considering how i've grown lazier over the past few weeks. lol ^.^

ta ta

it's been so long since... last week? two weeks ago?

well, it feels like it's been a long time

anyway...

what is there to say?

oh yes! i'm now hooked on answers.yahoo.com

hahah

and i'm a level two member now, since i'd joined last friday or so

but, the sad thing is, it's losing it's novelty

my answers are getting crappier, with lesser thought put in

haish... i pity the people looking for proper answers

annddd...

there's a school play tmr! i'm forced to go, and i have nothing to wear

hoping to go shopping sometime tmr...

anyone? wanna go?

hahah

it's a one time event, but this has made me realise how few wear-able clothing i have in my wardrobe

t-shirts and shorts? not gonna cut it

hmm...

i guess that's it. well, that and all the stupid incidents i've had

like hitting a guy in the head with my elbow while trying to get up from my seat in the MRT?

yup, real smart... hahah

and washing my phone in the washing machine? and missing the deadline for homework because i forgot to hand it up after i printed it out in the school com lab?

man, must have been an off-day.

been sleeping early, missed homework because of that, missed"heroes", "csi", "desperate housewives", all my favourite shows :(

BUTT: i'll catch up in the weekend. yes i will :)

and there's bowling laterr!!

woohoo!

hahah

(I've been learning chinese> wen shi jian qing wei he wu ...

... will be continued. basically, it's some chinese poetry.hahah)

(lim pei ka li kong?!!) (ur father got problem?!!) bad, bad!

zai jian!!!

what is a true fan?

is he/she one who does whatever possible to achieve his/her dreams of meeting their idol?
like, for example, the 29 year old chinawoman who sold her family's house and drained their savings to go see Andy Lau?

or is it a person who knows all the team's stats, the player profiles, every single happening in that particular fan-worthy team? someone who fights criticism against the team with more stats and facts?

i for one, think i am a true fan. but not the type mentioned above. i don't really care about the stats, though they do make me sound more credible as a fan, nor will i sell my house and kill my father to go meet my favourite team.

i'm just a simple, honest-to-goodness true arsenal fan.
i'm not fair-weathered; i stay with them through thick and thin, through whatever scandals they may go through, or whatever slump they may experience.

i may not be able to defend whatever wrong other people might be accusing them of doing, like going underground to buy players or cheating on taxes (which, i'd like to verify, is the team policy to pay the foreign players' taxes; it's legal and not cheating)

all i care about is the way they play, they way they inspire me to watch a game when i've never really had an interest to watch matches. i have faith in them in whatever they do.

critics may argue that i'm not a hardcore fan. i say: in ur eyes, maybe. i don't really care. all i care about is watching their matches, cheering when they score goals and moaning when they lose, just like any norma fan would.

i accept that they have their shortcomings, their off-days. but i'm there through it all, and it's no use denouncing me as a surface fan, cos i'll always be there.

just what i feel in response to some rather condescending people. ;)

omg! did u catch the mr world pageant last saturday?

hahah
my sis went positively orgasmic at the sight of all those hotties
hahah
of course she didn't...
she just squealed her head off whenever any hot guy cam on screen

anyways, my hot favourites where brazil, chile, spain, lebanon, malta and ukraine
sad to say, malta and ukraine didn't make it
though the rest did
heehee

if by chance you didn't catch the show, here are some of the hottest people there:

mr spain, juan garcia, the winner (*squeal!*)

mr brazil, lucas gil, the runner up (*squeal! squeal*!)

mr chile, patricio laguna, top five

mr lebanon, anthony hakim, top fifteen (so cute!)

hahah
and that's just some of them
well, just in case that left you thirsty for more hunka-hunka-burning-love,
here's a clip from mr spain 2006 that juan garcia won
if you'll pay attention, you'll notice that there're alot more hot spanish men could have easily won mr world
hahah


anyways,
my favourite really was brazil
he just has that innocent, sweet, boyish look
hahah
really cute
here's more eye-candy:


isn't he just dreamy?
hahah
and chile really looks like an actor, really mature, distinguished, charming-like
hahah

ok,ok
i should stop
ok
i'm done
but i'm returning to this page again and again
hahah
=))

omg, i can't believe it's been so long since my last post!
like, almost a month has passed (or at least twenty days)
so much has happened since then

okay, here's the shit:

i'm now in 07A10, which is a very artsy, noisy, friendly class
liying's there too [=)]
anyway, our class is one of the largest
and... alot (read: too many) sporty people in there
ergo i'm basically one of the least unfit in class
uurrgghh....
gotta buck up, FINA!

taking hist, econs and lit, with h1 maths
have no idea what half the classes are about
since i missed out on first three months (and a-maths)
but i'm trying
all homework handed in on time, can u believe it?!
hahah
neither can i ;P

really adjusting to waking up early and coming to school
nowadays, i will naturally wake up before the alarm, at around 4.55
which is good
and when i'm not taking the 6.25 train to toa payoh, my father sends me to school
but of course that's not gonna be a usual thing,
only when it's his off day
*sighs*

also adjusting to jc life, except the fact that i hate pe
yup, it's the same as before
though i don't recall hating pe as much as i do now
the feeling of hatred has been heightened by 5-months inactivity
damn, i should have exercised at least abit during first three months

last friday was inessa's farewell bbq
met alot of ppl i haven't me since like forever
even before the bbq
met sarah, tipah, irna, fatin and diana at wdlands st
not to mention a few other ex-bpians
unfortunately, sarah, tipah and irna weren't gping to the bbq :(
so after taking the bus with tipah, met syaz under tipah's block and headed there

so much fun catching up on old times man
rai, siti, zul, hafizul, anum, umairah and countless other people
hmm
and of course the ikan bakarr! thankiu inessa's mum!

so sad that inessa's gone to canada!
hmm...
have fun there! with snow! and getting to uni early!
hahah

didn't get to really say goodbye properly
i wanted to pass her a card on saturday, but didn't get to meetup with her
oh well
at least i have sth to buat kenangan lah

i really have to get out of my shell at school
i'm like one of the quiet ones there,
and u noe that's so not me when i'm properly influenced, right?
i need to get bubbly! come on, fin, let ur inner bubble shine! bubble! BUBBLE!

hahah
anyway, i'm so tired now
from jogging up to the twelfth floor and back down twice yesterday
short space of time, but it'll kill ur thighs when you reach around the tenth floor
and we're running 2.4 km this thursday! SHIT!

anyway

toodles! *in a typically bubbly manner*

the last day of orientation has come and gone
my kingdom (saverdo) won best cheer and best overall kingdom
and i like my og mates
but this is how it was from the beginning...

wednesday morning. i put on my school uniform and brought nothing else to school, thinking that i was just to report, and then i could just ... go home
but i was wrong

hahah
blur me
no bag, no water bottle, nothing

anyway, i found myself in OG 8
with a very cute OGLeader (guy, lah)
and three other BPians in my og, surprising enough
liying, atikah and rei wern

anyways...
we tried to introduce ourselves but with other teams around, and with a quiet OGL,
our introductions got drowned in all the noise
however, in a quieter environment (i.e. classroom)
impromptu introductions took place among us
well, among a third of us, at least
the other two thirds were talking amongst themselves or playing cards (??)

thankfully, beside me were friendly people
on my right, a guy who didn't wanna cheer but just wanted to interact with us
hahah
seriously
his own words

as orientation went on
i realised that i liked my og
at first i was seriously contemplating going to ijc
but i remembered all the friendly people in my og
and so, i decided to stay a saint

in my og, there were originally 30 people
but some moved to hwachong, njc, yjc
and some 2nd intake students were tired of orientation
so our numbers dwindled to around 18

my og has some interesting characters
one of whom is this guy
who, at first glance, seems really the typical sporty guy from a guys' school
but he's really a friendly guy to everyone
a charmer? an extrovert? a S.N.A.G.? (btw, he hates that term)
he likes the parent trap, the princess diaries, sound of music
he 's good at imitating people
and he told me," i like heels"
...
hahah
no, he's not gay
what he meant when he said that was that he likes seeing girls wear heels
hahah

another interesting character is this guy who everyone finds irritating
he has some weird british accent with american overtones,
even tho he lived in australia and not britain
he's really overbearing
and a bit kedi
and just plain action

hmm...
and then there are the quiet girls
the girls who don't mix around, who seldom speak, who don't want to play games
i do try to talk to them, i really do
but it takes two, u noe?

okay, moving on...
second day
more games
we lost nearly all, didn't cheer loud, and drew two
BUT
we had fun
hahah
but it's really hard lah, since our OGL wasn't a very rah-rah kind of person
or a very involved OGL
so we were neither rah-rah nor very involved
...

somehow, with 18 people, almost half our original number,
we were actually double or triple the number of the opposing OG
weird huh?
guess they had more people who had better things to do

odd, isn't it, that we still lost alot of games?
hahah
especially when we had around six guys in our OG ( a high number for arts fac)

sometimes, some of us had to join another team to even up the numbers
four or six people, including me, had to join this other OG
so i played against my own OG
the funny thing is, the team i was on had the record highest score
while the my OG scored the lowest ever - 0
hahah
weird, huh?
hahah

and so we come to today
the last day of orientation
tiring
more games
cheering competition
alot of free time
during which we sat around, loitered, had early dinner, lepak-ed in the caf
sat around some more, relaxed
hahaha
oh such fun!

of course, during cheering com we woke up a little bit more
that's how we won
saving the best for last, i'd prefer to think
i skipped the disco, which was the last part of the orientation
and headed home early, ard 8
ahh... home sweet home
=)

lives are in the making here
hearts are in the waking here
mighty undertaking here
up and on! up and on!

wow! i'm a SAINT!
not officially, but after reporting there tmr, i will be
hmm
i never thought i'd be a saint

anyway
yesterday i caught four soccer matches just two see if i like arsenal because i'm biased
or cos there's something really special bout them

i watched three simultaneously
one before the other three
and all of them made me glad for arsenal
hahah

the first one i caught was blackburn rovers vs. bolton wanderers
i thot, this should be interesting
i mean, both teams have the worst disciplinary record of all the epl
62 and 61 yellow cards respectively for this season alone
the number one and two teams with the most yellow cards
so if their play isn't good, at least their rough play should prove entertaining
... right?

i was wrong
even with the presence of the wentworth miller-lookalike blackburn player
i was bored to death
the ball constantly in the air
urghh

anyway, after that i watched:
1. recreativo vs. atletico madrid (spanish la liga)
2. singapore vs. thailand (asean championship)
3. atalanta vs. something(i was that bored) (italian serie A)

needless to say
i didn't pay alot of attention to the games
cos i was bored
cos arsenal wan't playing
hahah

but i did manage to keep my attention to the la liga match
it is touted as the most exciting league to watch
(but it seemed slower than epl matches)
there were a few moment that were... pleasant
but the main draw to me, was the fact that fernando torres was playing
in case u don't know, fernando is like, the cutest player i've ever seen
hahah

one thing though,
for the ladies who watch matches purely for eye-candy,
i think the spanish dudes in la liga will keep u happy
hahah
cos they are dark, handsome, and exotic
except for fernando
who's blonde, cute, and... cute
hahah

anyway, i watched another epl game today
tottenham vs. west ham united
a little more exciting
probably cos west ham was so desperate to win (they're at the bottom of the table)
and cos 7 goals were scored altogether
seven??!!
hahah
i like watching goals as much as the next guy
hahah

but still, i choose to stick with arsenal
i haven't compared them to chelsea, liverpool, man utd or the likes
but i'm pretty satisfied with arsenal
no, i'm very satisfied of arsenal
and very fiercely proud of them, too

hahah
anyway,
tmr i'm a saint!
woohooo
hahah

finx

yesterday, another arsenal match, but one which made me very very happy
hahah
again with my arsenal
yesterday's match against reading was hilarious
hahah

one thing i'm embarassed to admit
was that i was a little bit unfaithful to arsenal
cos reading had this redhead player called kitson
and i just couldn't help thinking to myself," he's one handsome devil"
the term redhead doesn't do his hair justice, though
cos it was really orange
but still cute, though
but that was it, i swear
i was faithful the rest of the way
hahah

one funny instance, though, was when csec fabregas was gonne tap the ball into the net
when his foot got in the way
poor fabregas was so embarassed that he hid his face in the crook of his arm
but that wasn't all fabregas did

he accidentally scored an own goal

poor fabregas
but i don't blame him.
he was just trying to block the ball from entering between the goalposts
anyway, he did do a good job of orchestrating yesterday's play

i am very satisfied with yesterday's results
and since we're on the subject of arsenal
let me just tell you how arsenal has changed my view towards football

the way arsenal plays is just really inspiring to watch
they keep the ball on the ground instead of kicking it far and high to get it to the opponents' side of the pitch
their first touch capabilities ( i don't really know the technical term) is astounding
they can change the direction of the ball towards where they want it to go without stopping the ball
or even dribbling the ball first
the intricate plays they produce and the finesse with which they control the ball
matched with their good pace and good instinct
all makes for very, very beautiful football

oh gosh, i really am a mad fan, aren't i?
i realise that with every match i watch, i fall more and more in love with arsenal
and fabregas, i'm embarassed to admit
because my sister says he looks really cacat
but on the pitch, rawr! he's a tiger, who's really confident and masterful

hahah
i'm guessing that this is where non-arsenal fans have probably fallen asleep from boredom
but i can't help it
anyway, i'll compromise a bit on my arsenal ranting by changing the subject

before the match, my family and i went to the carousel at grand plaza hotel to have dinner
the word was that the buffet there was simply divine
so, reservations made for 6.30, we headed off to fill our bellies

and i'm telling you, we were not disappointed
first of all, the atmosphere was hip, but more relaxed than the restaurant that preceded it
the cafe vienna of old was more grand, but the buffet at the carousel had much more variety

dessert was too much to handle, with two counters
one counter had the chocolate fountain in which you dip fruits and biscuits to make choc fondue
and ice-cream with every single (normal) topping you can imagine
they even have butterscotch topping! my fave!

the other counter had
all sorts of cakes
more than a dozen different cakes and puddings
they had orange creme brulee and chocolate mousse and strawberry shortcake
however much i hate to admit, even the dessert-loving fina couldn't manage to taste every one of the desserts

that's not all
they had all sorts of different kinds of seafood
from lobster to crab, sweet clams and oysters, and sea bass and salmon
i don't eat seafood except for salmon and seabass, but even i was impressed

and sushi!
my favourite was salmon, of course
but sadly, they didn't have the crabmeat mayo that i liked
i tried sashimi
which i liked

and they had chicken rice, which is normal, with all sorts of local dishes
but they also had all kinds of pasta and roastbeef and lamb and chicken
with six types of gravy
and pie and fruits and all kinds of unusual(to me) dishes
i found that i liked minced duck and hated wasabi

needless to say, i ate until i was full to bursting
literally
a few times, i was ready to throw up
but i couldn't, nor was i able to burp properly

my sister reacted the worst to all that food though

she threw up everything in the bathroom
said she didn't have a taste for sashimi and oysters

overall, i am very satisfied( that word again) with yesterday night
i didn't waste a cent of my parents' money at the buffet
and arsenal made me proud again.

(about the other arsenal games earlier in the weak,
i don't blame them.
they're a young team just finding their footing,
and they're ladden with injuries and suspensions.
so they did just fine with what they had. =)

i just found out that arsenal has 5 or more players who are islam
wow! hahah
robin van persie, i knew he was islam,
but i thought he was the only one

then when i watched an arsenal match,
i saw armand traore(17) baca doa
i was pleasantly surprised
then my father told me that
kolo toure(26), abou diaby(21) and jeremie aliadiere(24) are also islam

hmm... interesting, huh? hahah

so now i'm officially unemployed again
yesterday was my last day
i'm so sad to be leaving!!
omg!

tears were shed, gifts (i.e. chocolates) were exchanged, pictures were taken
damned it, but i do regret not dressing up nicer yesterday
hahah
the picture up there was taken at the end of the day
most of us are temps, six of whom had their last day yesterday
including me

it's so depressing when i start to think about it
like, no more walking into an empty, cold office, early in the morning
and watching people filtering in
and sleeping on my desk
and then when sarah brings my breakfast, feasting on a mcmuffin or roti hotdog or old chang kee
while waiting for the computer to start and for us to be given the list of updates

no more getting iced milo from the vending machine without paying
and using the executive toilet only because it looked like it belonged in a hotel

no more pondering about where to have lunch
or enjoying our packed lunch in the pantry or at the staircase
with other office people
or even coming back late from lunch and wondering if we were the last ones

no more complaining about PHUpdate being slow
or e-bao being sluggish
or our accounts being locked
or even about being sleepy the moment we start work again

no more talking to each other about ghosts stories or harry potter
or gossiping about other temps (hahah!)
or complaining about policy holders(ph) who make our work harder

no more calling people up on the phone to ask about their address
or e-mail
or telling them the haven't received a password because they haven't updated their hp no.s

no more staying back late to reach the target (like when i just started)
or cheering each time we get over the target
or reminiscing about the time we did 110 updates by lunch

no more seeing the fun people of the work place
or whispering about the people who make the workplace a little less pleasant
=(

anyway, now my list of "no-more"s have ended
i think i'll just talk about arsenal another day
hahah
so sad they lost to blackburn rovers
who played rough, damn those bastards' arses
but i still love them =)

oh GAWD
i'm so bored!
these are one of the rare, few times that i'm bemoaning the holidays
four straight days of nothing?!!
for godssakes, i've been reduced to walking around the house like a zombie
and groaning about having nothing to do


today, we were supposed to go vivo to catch a movie and shop for school supplies
but that fell through
so here i am

thankfully, i called my mom
and we're going to be santai-ing at the west coast beach later on
and then i'll probably catch epic movie with my sis
whom i've persuaded to accompany me tho she's watched it just last saturday

anyway
last saturday, i read the sunday lifestyle section
where they're talking about all things nostalgic

so here are a few nostalgic things i miss:

1. slurping from saucers
hahah
i used to do that all the time when i was young
when the tea was too hot, u noe?
reminds me of all those old times in my head
all the memories yellowing with age

2. jukeboxes
i really love these things
whatever happened to them?
we used to have one in school
too expensive, i guess
i want my own!
haha

3. old phones
u noe the type
the ones with the dialling thing at the base
and the mouthpiece placed vertically on a stick or summat,
and the earpiece is separate from everything else
and u talk into the mouthpiece in ur left hand
while holding the earpiece in your right hand

4. old cameras
ahh
the ones where u stick your head under a black cloth to take a picture?
or even the one in the story in which sandra bullock acts
and has a daughter who is bespectacled
the black and white photos were spectacular

5. old elevators
ooohhh
i liked watching it in the movies
you have to close the gates first before it creaks and moves up or down
and they're mostly brown
hahah
and i love the buttons!
they looks so fun to press
hahah

6. good relationships with neighbours
this one i really miss
we used to have bbqs
where almost every neighbour we know was invited
and we'd stay up and play till like, 2 in the morning

7. old vinyl records and gramaphones
they look like really fun things to play
and you can play them backwards!
hahah

and, finally...
8. the chipmunks!
and all them other childhood cartoons
like land before time
hahah
really loved watching them as a child
hhhaaaaahhhhhhhaaaaaa


anyway, that's it for today
gotta find something to do...
... like a read a book or sth


seventeen
by simon webbe
(gawd i love his songs!)

Seventeen, I was living life
Chasing dreams and my hopes were high
Trying to get around my fear of
When and where do I go from here

I asked somebody close to me
Who could see a lot further than a boy could see
Oh, oh, oh and he said...

Oh my, oh my, oh my these days are flying by
I still feel seventeen inside, not one day over
Don't let the trials of life, change who you are tonight
Stay seventeen each time you get one year older

I said you're at that time of life when your heart is strong
Your future's bright, you can do no wrong

And don't you let those feelings out of sight

Keep a hold of them as the years go rolling by

These words have always stuck with me
But now I'm only getting what it all appears to mean
Oh, oh, oh and he said...

Oh my, oh my, oh my these days are flying by
I still feel seventeen inside, not one day over
Don't let the trials of life, change who you are tonight
Stay seventeen each time you get one year older

He said...my years have come and gone, in oh such little time
And I hope you live your life the way that I lived mine
Stay young at heart, stay young in mind

So I said...

Oh my, oh my, oh my these days are flying by
I'm still seventeen inside, not one day over
I won't let the trials of life, change who I am tonight
Stay seventeen each time you get one year older

One year older, one year older....oh my oh my oh my oh my

So stay seventeen each time you get one year older

the ironic thing is, i'm not seventeen yet! hahah
so this song means i'm feeling older than i am...
...well, whatever

well, this is to make up for the previous post
may seem really random, that post
well, i was angry

anyway
i just watched another arsenal match
against blackburn rovers, this time

and i realised, that only lately have i become a real fan
i mean, i've always supported them since young
but only because my brother did
i didn't watch matches
only read the results the next day

felt faintly proud if arsenal won something,
like the FA cup or something

but never actively supported them
but now, i watch every match i can,
even waking up at 2 or 4 in the morning
go ARSENAL!!!

hahah
anyway, here are my thoughts on some football players
since i watch them alot now

the team: arsenal
founded 121 years ago
one of europe's leading football clubs
known as the gunners, cos they're logo is a cannon
plays at the emirates stadium after moving out of highbury (which they moved into in 1913)
third largest fanbase in the world, estimated 27 mill

thierry daniel henry:
my fave! the greatest striker in the epl
arsenal's skipper (or captain)
30 this year, but still as great as ever
makes scoring look easy and really tall (1.88m)
arsenal's top scorer ever
started an anti-racism campaign- stand up speak up
like me, loyal and loves arsenal =))

francesc fabregas (FAB4):
only 19 years-old, from spain
central midfielder vital to arsenal
cute-like,i like him! =)
made his debut in 2003, aged 16, youngest ever first-team player for arsenal
youngest ever goalscorer for arsenal and in champions league history
consistent and really really good
will play for arsenal till he's 27, longest ever contract in e epl
hahah

tomas rosicky:
another fabulous player,a left winger
really good at getting in, out, and playing through tight spaces
27 year-old from czech republic
nick-named little mozart
really high cheekbones, cleft in chin, strong jaw
looks discerning; is discerning

aliaksandr hleb:
26 year-old belarusian
plays either wing, good at dribbling
he looks like a nice person, don't ask me why
a dead-ball specialist

jeremie aliadiere:
24 year-old frenchman, a striker
only heard of him lately, but signed in 1999-2000 season
only including him here cos i like his name,
pronounced eh-liee-eh-dee-air
hahah

senderos:
perpetually looks worried, is botak

flamini:
not much thoughts on him

fredik ljunberg:
longest-serving player
underwear model
doesn't look all that innocent
(unlike henry, who always does a gallic-shrug whenever he fouls someone)

theo walcott:
not really impressed by him
really young; 17
looks really young too, really innocent and naive



now, on to players of other teams...


david bentley:
plays for blackburn rovers
i'm mentioning him cos he looks like wentworth miller
ahhh! hahah
formerly from arsenal

campo:
dunnoe his first name
from bolton wanderers
don't like the way he looks, pudgy, large nose, big hair
(btw, i noticed bolton's players mostly look ber-isi; fleshy)

nicholas(i think) anelka:
i call him bloody anelka
formerly from arsenal
usually causes problems for arsenal
also from bolton wanderers

steven gerrard:
i like him
he and henry have a mutual respect for each other, that's why
and he also looks cute-like
like a teddy bear
hhahah
from liverpool

christiano ronaldo:
gawd, i hate him
liked him when he caused england to bow out of the world cup last year
( i dun really support england; go france!)
but since then...
can't bear the way he looks
not his looks per se
but because he looks smug, arrogant

fernando torres:
really cute 23 year-old
looks young
plays for spain and atletico madrid

and finally, kaka:
full name is Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite
cute player from brazil
25 year-old
a model
in fact, his picture is the first of the cuties series in my miscelanious section of my blog
hahhah


anyway
that's it

gawd am i angry right now
haahh

today, i shall vomit out my thoughts on certain shows that i've watched this week
simply because...
well, because i'm bored

okay... on tuesday i watched the dance floor
bummer that i missed the first group
they were supposed to be good

but i did catch everything else
ohmygawd, did u see jewellery?
like, what? the girl in yellow can''t dance for nuts, the girl in red looked like she didn't want to dance, the girl in purple was...okok

but S.M.L!
the small kid is so cute!
i cldn't believe it when i found out they didn't go through
batucadas?!! they weren't that good!
i mean, the girls didn't have good isolation of the hips
they couldn't shake if their life depended on it
uugghhh

hahah
fina the critic
anyway, moving on to the arena
i like hwi
the school is really nice... hahah
anyway, it was funny watching the debate
like, when the girl said,"huh?"
hahah
and the guy's vocabulary
woah!
my sis told me they were warned about intimidating the opposition with the use of vocabulary and all that
i say, what's wrong with that?
u want the opposition to fluster and fail, right?
what better way than to intimidate them?
and what if that is really the way they speak?
i mean, with these smart hwa chong guys, u never noe
hahah
when i said i liked the school, i really meant it
hahah

ok, now to american idol
yay!
my favourite peeps are:
sanjaya (weee!!!)
the guy who missed his daughter's birth
chris sligh (the funny guy)
antoinella (i think that's the spelling)
laquisha( the lady who has a daughter)
that's it
but they're really good
all the way, guys!
woohoooo!
hahah

but the last two guys, tommy and sundance,
they're really good
i just can't believe tommy didn't make it
his voice was husky and really soothing

ok
the next topic is: the simple life
funny!
and merepek
paris ironing food?
and trying to kill a cockroach with a broom?

but, i tell u, there's one thing i noticed
even tho the american cockroach is way more disgusting than singapore cockroaches,
they're a lot slower
and, man would i like that
easier to kill
and when paris rid the laundry room of bubbles using that blow-thingie?
really ingenious, i must say
quite unexpected

paris and nicole are actually really nice
paris just acts bratty
and nicole is just really... out there
and after seeing her with her dad, i can see why
hahah

just now i watched the office on star world
last episode
the last part was really sweet
i was crying, and my heart was full to bursting
when he said,"i'm in love with you"
and he cried (cos she's engaged, and she said,"i can't)
and in the end when they kissed
i knew all along they liked each other
really obvious, huh?
hahah

but i really want them to be together (in the story, duh)
her fiance is a callous guy who is really uncaring of her feelings
and they really click!

ahahah
ranting about shows that have nothing to do with me
oh, did i mention, arsenal beat bolton 3-1?
yay!
they always got draws before this
they couldn't handle bolton that well
probably cos their playing styles are so different
bolton's really rough-like
while arsenal's game just flows
but this morning at 4 am
hah!
that showed bolton!
three cheers for arsenal!


wearing baju kurung for work tomorrow
everybody does

in a dilemma

darn
should i go to the best jc i can enter, or the one that's closest, or the one with the cca i want?
or should i go poly?

i mean, there's a probability that i can enter acjc
since their lowest point (i.e.highest) is one below mine
but almost everyone's telling me not to
because of some reason or other

hmm
i like the fact that pioneer jc has a cca that i'm really interested in

and ajc isn't that far from here
but the school looks really old

haish....
and poly
should i go to poly?
cos there're two courses i'm really interested in right now
mass comm and hospitality and resort management

haaaaaaaiiiiiissssshhhhHHHH!!!!!!!!

helpp!!!
i have only till tuesday to make a decision
and u noe i'm really indecisive

still thinking it through

today, i've got three things to celebrate:

1. happy centennial entries to my blog! ( and me, who created the posts)
hahah. a hundred posts seems quite alot to me. cos sometimes i forget to blog. hahah
absent-minded me

2. happy birthday to my bro. bought him the fray cd, but he says he doesn't like them. so, god-willing, and money-willing, i'll buy him Muse or john legend. there goes my hard-earned dough.

3. O level results! aaahhh! my results aren't spectacular by any means at all. 10 w/ bonus points. all i want to reveal. big surprise: A1 for eng lit?! i totally crapped for that paper. especially the indian aunty in the unseen prose. like, what?!! And I didn't fail combined humanities, e-maths and chem! i got Bs! okay, nth to be proud of. but still, from failing those three,to B3s! wooohooo!!!!

anyway, i realise, with the coming of money into my pockets, i've been spending more.

two toothbrushes, totalling up to ard $12
chocs $2.30
nerds ard $1.30
skirt $22
shoes $20.70
clutch $5.90

but, no fear, $950 coming tomorrow
woohoo!
however, as a precaution,
my late- new-year's resolution is to buy only these few items this year:
another simon webbe cd
MUSE
john legend
a new school bag
harry potter 7th book
a new dress
a new top

that's all. i hope. no, i must only buy these "few" items. cos i'm saving my money to go australia!!
but i don't think, with all these things bought, that i'll have enough to shop there as well.
hmmm...
what to cancel out?

hmmm...
the dress or the top? john legend or simon webbe? bag or book?

hmmm...

ijc funfair tmr. see u there!

i just know your life's gonna change...

baby not today, maybe not today but someday soon you'll be alright...

congrats to bpghs class of 2006!! and shima!! whoooop!

nearly two weeks since my last post
hmm, time sure flies by pretty fast

Results are this friday
translation: TOMORROW!!!!

unoe, before this i was glad to have tgif every week
thank god it's friday, cos i have a whole weekend of rest
but tomorrow, it's OMGIF
hahah .lame.

anyway, i've really been splurging since i started work:
a skirt at this fashion
shoes from mondo
a clutch from montip

and i want clothes from mango
hahah
but i tell u, the shoes from mondo are really evil
the damned near killed my feet
but they're so cute and all...
but evil. .eVil!.

tomorrow! tomorrow!
isn't there a song with that line?
OMG! TOMORROW!

oh yea, there is a reason why i'm at home on a weekday instead of at work
i'm sick
with flu, cough and sorethroat
all this from 4 am man
couldn't sleep after that until i swallowed some medicine

i need to get an mc
hmm
talked to my cousin on the phone while waiting for my dad to finish using the comp
better to get an mc, she said
i told that to my father, but he said no need
hm?
so shd i or shdn't i?
my father said that i'm only a temp, and i get paid by the day, so it's my loss if i don't work a day
so why shd they care?
haish
i'll decide later

arrggh
i just thought of something else
i have no school shoes!
mine have been discarded since the last day of school
helP!

*cough* *sneeze*
gotta go rest

back at the comp!
hahah

another week of work
i kinda like it
except of course, when the system breaks down, and i can't do my work and meet the quota
i don't even mind having to leave my house at 6.35
i sleep on the bus on the way there

hmm, i came online to write on my blog
and when i was signing in, i caught a picture of me when in sec 1
u noe, after cheering com, in the k-yorz tee and soccer shorts
me, tipah, sarah, jannah and anum
and i realised, i've grown alot since my younger days

i'm alot more mature now, which is expected cos it's been four years since that day
but i've also evolved, in a way
i'm more confident, which is definitely an improvement
and i am more independent, though not by much
but most of all, i believe, and stand by, my own convictions

...

i've always been a little sentimental
nostalgia comes easily
especially since i miss a lot of things from school days
like people i haven't been really keeping in touch with
or the easy routine i fell into once school commenced
or just the feeling that i had no big decisions to make
and the first example of the thing i miss
is really mostly my fault
hmm...
depressing thoughts, i've been indulging in

on a happier note, there is one thing that work has in common with school
the presence of eye candy! hahah
not in my department though
nothing like that particular subject to bring a girl's mood up, huh?
hahah

met sharifah and sarah on tuesday
and guess what?
i'm going to the innova jc open house on the 10th
hahah
i think it'll be fun
i'm going with my cousin and sis
anyone else wanna come?
call me! the more, the merrier, i always say

anyway, so far, i've been to three poly open houses
rp, tp, and nyp
could've gone to more, but with work and all...
man, i regret not going to jc openhouses last eyar
except for rjc, of course
open houses are fun
hahah
each school puts out something different
for rp, i like the fact that they showcase soemthing fun about every diploma
that, and the fact that almost the entire building is air-conditioned
hahah
as for tp, that's where hady was
nuff said
hahah
as for nyp, the dance cometition was fantastic
innovative dance moves and all
i may have my own criticisms of the dances, but for now, i'll keep them to myself
oh yeah, and jade seah was one of the judges

which reminds me, i gotta go catch the dance floor
till next time

fina

over a week has passed since i've updated
but good news:
I'm employed! woohooo!

a data entry job, $50 a day
quite ok
air-con-ed, backrest, free drinks from the vending machine, executive toilet...
hahah

i kind like it, though it's kinda troublesome sometimes
the job's in tampines, so i leave at 6.40 to make it by 8.10
(it starts at 8.30)

but it's ok
i sleep on the bus
the work's ok too

but my bigger news is:
i've come face to face with hady!!
yup! mohd mirzahady bin amir
hahah
ok, at tp open house, we came at 8.30 for the 9.45 am registration
just so we could get seats in front of hady
and we sat directly behind the vips, third row
at eye level with hady
and he sang to us, talked to US

i swear, i never know what to do when he makes eye-contact with the audience
which stars are supposed to do
whenever he looks at me, i freeze (and it was bleeding cold in there)
(did i mention i'm like, the exact centre of the centre row?)

but the last few lines of "you give me wings" he looked at me
right at me
perasaan... hahah
but it was so...AHHHH!
hahah
anyway, then he sat two rows down from us
and diyanah got to ask for his autograph!
i tried afterwards, but his ppl said not to disturb him :(

anyway, after that, he was to perform again at the students' cafe
and diyanah and i were right in front, right in the centre
this time standing, so we were like really close to him

hahah
anyway, he was supposed to throw posters into the crowd, when suddenly
he bent down, smiled and gave one to diyanah
i was, of course happy for her, but a little teeny-weeny bit jealous

hahah
anyway, after a few more posters were thrown, he bent down, smiled and gave one to me!
literally reached down and handed one, specifically, to me
not randomly, like all those other fans in the back
but specifically

hahah:))))

so exciting
i was shocked at first
i just stared at the bloody thing
then my common sense hit me in the head
and i grabbed it
hahah

anyway, after that, he sang ordinary people by john legend
and off he went, accompanied by his posse, off to the god-knows-where


wasn't that exciting?!
hahah

anyway, that day, i was seriously considering going to poly
taking tourism and resort management, accounting or mass comm

the mass comm tour of their studios was great
that made me really want to take mass comm
before this, though i'd thought of becoming a dj or something,
i never actually thought of mass comm as a choice

i just thought, so many people will surely want to take it
and with only two poly's offering it, and only ard 90 student intakes for tp,
not a chance

haish...
to poly, or not to poly?
to jc, or not to jc?

those, my friends, are the hard, life-changing, risky questions
