walked around with pam around orchard the whole day but couldn’t find a nice dress at all. oh man, I’m so doomed. it’s in 3 days!!! not enough time. i saw a dress that i liked but i couldn’t remember the name of the shop, zz.
but we did get our eyebrows done at browhaus; got to say it was the singular most painful experience in my life. thankfully getting your brows done only hurts on the first time, subsequently i guess your eyebrows get used to the abuse so tweezing them won’t hurt as much. during the threading/tweezing process i kept thinking to myself “bc, childbirth will be more painful than this… childbirth will be more painful that this… bear it, bear it, you’re a woman, you have high pain threshold” etc etc to sustain myself. haha but now i no longer have caveman brows but instead lovely arches :) it’s worth the pain i guess. while i was waiting for pam to be done, i saw this woman walking out with tears in her eyes and the brow-dresser (like in hairdresser) was comforting her. i think she went for the semi-permanent brow ressurection thingy, which basically is like tattooing eyebrows to your face. if i thought my process was painful, imagine doing the same thing, except with the pain amplified with a needle poking into your browbone. the things we do for fashion, tsk.
hmm what else. oh i got my hair cut. now i have a pudding bowl fringe a la Bai Ling. lol ok it ain’t that skanky, but it’s like a straight fringe. i like it cos i won’t expose my forehead, hahaha. it was pretty cool cos my hairdresser was from shanghai too! dunno why all the hairdressers i go to are from shanghai, last time the one i went to at np was too. must be fate or something, lol. anyway i like hairdressers that come from china, cos then i can strike up a conversation with them and then they’ll be like “hey! comrade!” and cut my hair better. LOL kidding. but i mean furthering your dream in a strange English-speaking country, that’s gotta take some guts.
and since ib is over, i wake up whenever i want to and start nerding out by playing the psp all day long. i downloaded assassin’s creed, but i’m super bad at it even though it’s supposed to be pretty easy. what can i say, i’m bad at reading maps so i can never find the target i’m supposed to assassinate. but hey, i’m a girl, i’m not supposed to know how to read maps. gps was invented for people like me. sigh, maybe i should just stick with barbie in adventureland games or something.

i’ve been thinking though a lot these couple of days
the memories of us
of you
i just can’t help but remember all these times that we’ve shared
it seems like it was only yesterday that i’ve met you
but the things that happened and did not happen between us
passed by in a blur
tears, smiles, and even blood
these painful things
and i don’t know why they keep running through my mind
all the times you’ve kept me up at night
just you and me face to face without a word, the silence complete, staring
the times i’ve screamed and felt that i was at my limit
and almost cried with exhaustion
because i wanted so much for us to work out
but you never really gave in anything i wanted to do
sometimes i lay in bed unable to get up to face you in school
everywhere i turned, you seemed to be there, every single day
i wanted to hide, i wanted us to end,
yet i grew sick at the thought of the future without you, beyond you
and then, it ended, just like that
no words, nothing
after that long drawn out, mentally tiring fight between you and i
and what can i say? i feel numb
i don’t really have anything left to feel
because i’m on my own without you now
like a fish out of water
but for the first time i feel so free
and i only have two words:
goodbye ib
——————————————————-
GOTCHA! ;) hee hee. i couldn’t resist!! soz guys :D another one of my lame customary joke posts.
although these 2 years sometimes really felt like a bad romance (yes gaga hi) and there were times that i really felt that i wasn’t up to it and wanted to give up, but in the end i pulled through! we all did… i hope.
we’d have to wait till jan 6 to find out (but in the mean time, as ellen would say PAR-TA-AYY)
HIATUS
(but you knew that already, right)
and the mentalist/criminal minds/csi is on tonight but i’m too sleepy to watch. bleh

it’s 1.34 am
i’m alone by myself in the living room
and all i can hear is the the bubbling of the fish tank
the whirr of air-conditioning from under the neighbours’ windows
the cpu buzzing away
the laguid tick-tock of the clock
people returning from where ever they were, car doors slamming downstairs
and the occassional person in his car speeding along the road outside
it’s times like this, all these combination of sounds that make me think the city is sleeping, like a giant in slumber. it’s funny how in other places, like while vacationing in hk or staying at my aunt’s place in shanghai, the traffic never seems to stop in the middle of the night, and people are honking away randomly like nobody’s business. it’s barely 2 and everybody’s all sleeping! even the neighbour who screams at her children late at night sleeps at 11, haha.
anyway and it’s the first time in a while i’m not in bed by 1. heh. that’s cos was trying to finish an essay! my shoulders feel cramped and sore from being hunched over fore the past 2 hours from doing them on the comp. :( i needs a massage guys, i feel like the hunchback of notre dam with a right big lump on my shoulders now.
hmm i saw the paranormal activity trailer on youtube! well, technically speaking i saw it but didn’t watch it because i didn’t dare to, LOL. if not i wouldn’t be sitting here calmly typing this – i’d probably be hiding under my covers in bed and listening to the radio to block out the sounds of the room creaking and all that jazz, which seem more frightening when you’re in that heightened state of paranoia for some reason. heh. gosh i hate the after effects of getting spooked out. that’s why i stick to watching b-grade, retrotastic b-grade horror films: because their “horror” is a bunch of zombies that look like they came from the set of Thriller, moaning ‘brains!’ and staggering around town, and ain’t no scary dead girl coming out of a tv screen or a stupid well, haha. and above all b-grade horror films are super funny, especially when the protagonists are all scared shitless and running away from zombies and you’re laughing your ass off at the one dressed like a character from Dynasty circa 1980, complete with ugly pearl necklace, shoulder pads and shoes to match. (not that i watch Dynasty though, soz for the stereotype) with that said i caught a bit of return of the dead on max before i was chased back to my room and i laughed more than i was scared (which was none). wish i could’ve finished watching it though, i wonder what happened to all those zombies…
right better go sleep now, toodles!

this random but trying to mug is as difficult as deciding if simon baker is better than hugh laurie or vice versa. haha. it’s impossible to tell who’s better. i watched half an episode of the mentalist last night. it’s quite a nice show! shall add it to my list of shows to spam after ib
i’ve got nothing funny/interesting to post so here are some random parts of my waning days as an ib student:
while yuechin, ruthi, pam and i were walking out of school today after mathh:
me: ok i test you. who is the current prime minister of UK
pam: uhhh… barack obama
(which caused chin ruthi and i to go into a fit a laughter, and i accidentally spilt ribena on chin’s bag cause in the ensuing chaos we knocked into each other)
pam: wait wait let me guess again… uh BILL CLINTON. *silence* ok… john f kennedy??
me: NO!! it’s gordon brown
pam: ohh but i know marilyn monroe sang a happy birthday song to kennedy
/end (i think maybe i should get her an atlas and a subscription to the economist for her birthday, HAHA. i kid i kid.)
i was lying on the sofa watching tv after dinner
me: bj i feel so fat :( i’m oozing fats all over the sofa
bj: yeah you know what would happen if you go swimming in the sea?
me: don’t tell me… i don’t wanna hear -_-
bj: you’re cause an oil spill and kill all the marine wildlife, that’s what would happen :)
/end
lastly:
ferd: bullshit is the fertilizer for the brilliant
haha and with that inspiring quote from ferd, i shall be brilliant no mo’ and go back to studying ecornzzxx
p.s. can’t wait for ib to be over… prom! so excite. (need to lose weight if not i’ll really start causing oil spills lol) but then it’ll be 5 days of intensive, exhausting shopping right after the last paper ie math paper3. BUT I DON’T MIND. mind-numbingly exhaustive shopping>mind-numbingly exhaustive examinations anyday, all day, 24/7. and not to mention lnat straight after that in early december!! and i should probably get a job after that too! like as a secretary or something. i mean i have all the way till august/sept 2010 before uni starts
p.p.s. mom’s coming home from shanghai today!! :):) yay got crabs to eat :D
p.p.p.s. oh well house and patrick jane will have to wait. but i’ll get back to you two soon, i promise. haha
p.p.p.p.s. OH RIGHT there’s a meteor shower today!! that was like the whole purpose of my post before i got distracted with the whole hugh laurie/simon baker thing. it’s at 1-3am at night/early morning. dunno if i can see it though! but i really wanna make a wish. other than getting above 41 point of course! cos like, it’s a meteor shower so you can make more than one? but the other wish is secret, i donch tell you what it is :) heehee
