hmmm yesterday i watched this stephen chow movie. it was damn funny! and he’s so cute/full of rubbish. too bad his new stuff is kinda meh. and all that while trying to do work! which obviously, failed before it even started.

—————————————————————————-

anyway during the weekend, there was one day where i woke up up, bounced down from my bed and suddenly felt really dizzy. it was scary because your vision is suddenly blotted out into this large expanse of white/black (i can’t remember which) and your knees give way underneath you. i tried grabbing onto the doorknob but my knees were so weak they just buckled, and my head hit the wall/wardrobe. thankfully i didn’t accidentally fall onto my cousin (who was on the lower bed). anyway my eyes watered from the impact and my parents were laughing at me after that. just another day in the life of granny bao.

p.s. me is taking me shopping tomorrow! yipee.

the olympics
August 19, 2008, 10:01 pm
Filed under: lists, quiz, random | Tags: , ,

3 top favourite sports to watch:

  1. male/female 3m springboard
  2. male/female gymnastics
  3. female artistic gym (hasn’t started yet)

3 happy things about the olympics:

  1. the male athletes are HOT rawrrr (esp gym and swimming)
  2. they keep me occupied cos it’s interesting
  3. the gravity-defying moves are WOW :O

3 unhappy things about the olympics:

  1. it makes me damn sleepy so i always end up falling asleep on the couch
  2. seeing atheletes fall in gym
  3. why doesn’t singapore win anything :(

recently people have been asking me whether i’ve grown taller again. no oh no oh no!! i can detect a pattern; when i first had a growth spurt, i felt hungry frequently and slept a lot. but that was okay cos i was only 163cm ish so i wanted to be taller so i drank two glasses of milk a day and grew freaking tall. which i kinda regret because i think 167cm is the perfect height and anything above 170cm a kinda over for an asian girl. and recently all i’ve done is to feel like my stomach is a bottomless pit, and my eyelids are 10 tons heavy. :( don’t tell me i’m growing but all the girls in my family are tall so i can’t do anything about it. :( oh well i’ll get a tall german/romanian/russian husband! and have freakishly tall children a la yaoming and his gf, haha.

anw the reason why i’m talking about the whole height issue isn’t because i suddenly decided to be random. it’s because my mom just told be that the gymnasts are all pretty short, like 150cm ish. and the way they select children to train for certain sports to take part in the olympics in the future, is by this test right, that predicts your future height. for example if your predicted height is 220cm next time then you qualify for the basketball team training, and if you’re 150cm you qualify for the gymnast training. which i think is rather cool, because somehow they magically can predict your height!

but at the end of the day, what you look like on the outside doesn’t matter as much as what you are on the inside. you might look small, tiny and frail but actually be super asserive and a non-pushover. actually my impression of shorter guys have changed la (partially because of the gymnastic finals). now i find them pretty cute. anyway i heard that smaller guys like to get taller girlfriends because they want to get taller kids, or something.

this is a totally irrelevant and innane post haha. it’s super weird. (like is that surprising)
———————————————

ok la, i succumbed to peer pressure (and at the request of someone):
