hmm guys i bought a new bag. it’s from jansport and it’s in this gorgeous shade of dark pink, with very winter-like diamond patterns. can’t explain well but i love it! when i was deliberating whether to buy it or not, i called pam and she was like “just buy la, if not you surely won’t be able to sleep at night” but i didn’t heed her advice and i ended up really thinking about the silly bag at night, so i went back to get it after visiting the shop for another time. viola! new backpack :) to motivate my studies. (haha as if)
anw check this out people:
it’s so kooky :D except for the screeching at the last part, it’s pretty much perfect. prolly my fav song by the cribs, it’s so sweet. hmm currently lacking the first album, which this song is on.
and franz ferdinand’s no you girls is such a catchy song. it’s stuck in my head now. haha. go check out the music video, it’s pretty funny. it’s like the band is playing their song and then there’s this whole bunch of women dressed like lady gaga (i.e. leotards, no pants, weirdly-shaped hats and asymmetrical hemlines) goofing around them then the guys are just ignoring them while playing the song. awesome stuff. maybe i’ll post it next time!
btw i know you won’t read this but thank you! for sending me all the cribs’ stuff i mean. i spent so long trying to find but to no avail. and it’s such a coincidence too! (uh transformers? haha) i’m such a happy girl now. :D thankyouthankyou hehe.
kay guys, back to mugging. i have to understand physics concepts and memorise all the definitions… all 50 pages of them… by today, cos tomorrow’s reserved for chem -____-
BLAH it’s ALWAYS right before the exams that i suddenly understand physics. it’s so strange. it’s like suddenly i can do the questions. well, maybe because tchiew only started to teach seriously this year. plus he teaches too fast!!!! he zooms by and all the guys in class are like ‘ohhh i understand’ after he explains it only one time and i’m there like “uhh can you please repeat” and everybody laughs at my slowness. :( if only he taught more that last year instead of kidding around all the time, then maybe i wouldn’t have been so confused in year 5.
grr stupid de broglie. stupid albedo. stupid kay queue queue over arrrh. stupid quantum/newtonian laws. sigh. physics. bane of my existence (after econs and english paper 2, in that order).
but at least i have nice music to keep me company :)

friday
so basically kwong, ham, guang, tina, celest, cheryl, pam and i went to iluma@bugis for the up-3d movie! it was my first time watching a 3d movie and i gotta say it was pretty good! there was a remarkable difference between the normal cinematic quality of the movie and the 3-literally-d effects of the special glasses! the movie was great and tear-inducing. i loved dug! the talking golden retriever :D the only down side was that i had to wear the 3d glasses in addition to my normal ones so they kept slipping cuz my nose isn’t straight enough -_- and also the fact that the tickets are double the price of normal ones!! yikes.
then later celest and cheryl left, and we had an early dinner at this one for one japanese place. walked around bugis and ham, tina and i went shopping for teachers’ day prezzies. i met lynette wong!!!! omg i haven’t seen her in a year. she said i looked angmoh-ized. haha, i guess that’s relative to my cheena appearance in nanyang.
today
haha aces day plus teachers’ day celebs. the y5’s are really champion, wrt to the morning dance! guang said they copied the ndp pole dancers’ moves, especially the one where they look like they’re summoning spirits a la woodstock hippie dancing. hahaha damn funny. pam caught shobun and evans doing a couple dance!!! the celebs were really cute too. loved the part where the senior admin went on stage to sing mamamia, accompanied by matching pictures on ppt slides. omg the one where they sung “”the money from charity cafe…” and they flashed this picture of ft holding up $50 bills…. priceless! i think i almost slid onto the floor laughing.
then later we went to dover market to eat chicken rice. haha it was brilliant cos there were no seats anywhere and all the void decks(i.e. the chairs and tables) were occupied by sleeping hobos so we couldn’t go there. thus we were forced to eat at the park. unfortunately some bengs were faster than us so the last possible stone table at the park was snapped up, so resigned, we settled down at the fitness corner (with bugs and sand and all) to eat and chitchat. but the atmosphere was quite nice la. except for the weather because it was darn hot though, not to mention humid. hmm the chicken rice was nice. i mean i don’t really have high expectations for chicken rice – as long as the rice is fragrant and the chicken is tender (meaning it doesn’t taste super dry nor have the texture of cardboard), it’s good. then bus-ed back home with ruthi, pam and guang.
then at the busstop ruthi told me this disturbing story about traveling in thailand. apparently this couple went on holiday in thailand. so one day, they went to this shopping place, and the wife took some clothes to try on in the dressing room, while the husband waited outside the room. but after a reeeeeally long time she didn’t reappear so the husband sensed something amiss, and he opened the door to the dressing room.
BUT… she was gone. the dressing room was empty!
stricken, the husband had nothing to do but to return to singapore the next day because of the plane ticket. he returned to thailand a while later, trying to locate her. he asked around all the places that they had travelled to, including the busstops and whatnot. in the end, he asked around the place where she dissappeared, and one of the people there (shopkeeper?) told him that… the dressing room actually had a trap door underneath, meaning his wife had fallen through while changing outfits the other day and that she had been kidnapped and sold to a freak show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
at this moment in the story i was damn WTF because it didn’t make sense, like why didn’t the husband just go to the singapore embassy and report it to the police then, or like why would a freakshow want to buy a normal human being to put in their acts because that just doesn’t make sense.
then ruthi said in that matter-of-fact tone of hers, “oh, that’s because they chopped off her arms and legs and put her torso into a vase for the show”
….*stunned silence*
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. omg i am getting goosebumps just rewriting it. it feels as if this was something out of twilight zone….. that’s really sick. now i’m gonna be super paranoid when i go on vacation to thailand. :( moral of the story: don’t go into the changing rooms of shady places
anyway at macrithie i had the pleasure of waiting for 852 for 45 whole bloody minutes because the uncle of the first bus deemed me too insignificant to stop for. fucking smrt 852 buses. 6 fucking years i have been taking your fucking buses and the service is still the same-incorrigible! GRRRR
anw sorry to guang and pam who waited for me. :D shanks guys. oh yeah and we were talking about some unhappy matters wrt the ****. well, what to do. we came to the conclusion that maybe it’s for the best la. not everyone can be friends forever. not to mention friends forever with someone who can’t compromise for the sake of the others.
i reached home and i was sooooooooooooo tired. like literally to the point of collapse. but yet i still cleaned my room, dusted my bed and swept the floor and read the papers. i champion :D then i slept… for like 6 hours. then i woke up and had dinner… and then me and bj were folding paper origami. haha damn random. like during my nap i had a dream about folding origami, like i was searching the internet trying to find out how to fold pikachu origami. damn random. i think it’s cuz i keep folding paper hearts for the teachers’ day presents, so now i’m like subconsciously thinking about it too. anyway bj’s quite pro for a 14 year old guy. i mean he’s patient enough to sit there and fold paper dinosaurs with me. hehe. then my mom randomly burst in and said paper craft is like for dead people and she told us to burn some origami for gramps the next time we burn papers for him. lol but i don’t think dinosaurs are very practical in the netherworld. should burn him an ipod. then he can listen to kenny g, which was like his fave when he was alive. ahhh i wonder how he is now.
zzz k just finished my testimonial. gonna bathe now. ciao homies. haha this was SUCH a long post
end of report

watched the last half an hour of the miss universe pageant today while munching down dinner (some leftover ricecake and preserved fish from shanghai). it was pretty funny because that was the so-called difficult question and answer round. there was a question which was something along the lines of, “what do you think could be done to eradicate the gender discrimination women face in many parts of the world face even until this day?” in which miss Venezuela answered, well, i don’t think anything needs to be done because there is a lot done already!
this made me realise that the purpose of the q&a round is not, contrary to popular belief, to flaunt the extreme intellectual aptitude of the contestants, but instead is designed in such a way that contestants’ll score high points for waxing lyrial about life while looking glamorous. geez. if only we could answer tok questions with such relative ease. “how do you quantify truth based on the different ways of knowing?” “well firstly, i would like to say how thankful i am for this wonderful experience, because i believe in telling the truth. and also i think truth consists of with beauty, compassion and intelligence…” haha. there’s an A for tok right there.
and it was damn funny cuz venezuela won twice in a row right? this year and last. when they announced that miss venezuela won, the ex-miss universe and the current one ran towards each other and started hugging and crying and jumping around in circles in unison. and 2008’s hair just kinda disintegrated into this bird’s-nest type of thing when she jumped around. ok i kid. but seriously, the best part was when 2008 was crowning 2009. i’m sorry did i say crowning? i mean throw-the-million-dollar-diamond-tiara-on-head-of-your-successor a la those carnival games where you have to throw mini-hoops into the bottle. it was damn funny!
oh well, if only the world were a giant beauty pageant: there would be answers to every single pressing question; does god exist? were the pyramids really built by aliens? is doomsday really in 2012? will we all die then? what can we do to survive? do we hide food in the basements? if so what type of food? will we remember to bring can-openers or starve to death because we were too stupid to open the food without them? will there be tinned mangoes? what the hell am i saying exactly?
anyway if you haven’t figured, the magic phrase to all of those questions above is ‘world peace’. or as the homies back at the ‘hood say it, ‘peace out’.
appearance vs reality: sometimes you shouldn’t laugh at the weirdo.
p.s. sorry for the randomness guys, i’m really damn sleepy, and this is coming from after my 4 hour nap. haha. i failzz at lifezzxxss
p.p.s. maybe i should become lianxxzzz
p.p.p.s. can lianzzxxx win miss universe?

my weekend was full of spending quality time with my bed, pigging out on cornetto royales, fervently praying that i’ll get a maya angelou extract for ioc (serious!), trying to figure out the gender ambiguity and undertones of the male-actor-dressed-as-a-female-dressed-as-a-man Viola-or-hould-i-say-Cesario in 12th night, enjoying a peaceful night in my hovel- i mean, room while the storm and tempest still outside, apologia pro eating seconds of stir-fried ricecake for dinner, while still having time to catch a tv movie. namely HOT FUZZ!
two words: it. was. epic! probably ranks up there in the list of most ridiculous movies that i’ve ever seen (but still love). somehow brit comedies are so much funnier than american ones. can’t remember the last time i’ve properly laughed (like clutching stomach, tears streaming down face laughed) at an american film. which reminds me, i caught a certain the animal on channel 5 on saturday. it was just… ew. surprisingly dad and bj were in fits over it, but i quickly switched the channel when they went off grocery shopping. i would use “disgusting” and “utterly revolting” to describe it but… well i don’t want to be sued, do i? :)
anw ioc in three days. i really hope i get caged bird!! i really love that book. yes so what if its black-mama-korean-drama, but at least it features female empowerment and not to mention it’s very inspirational! and colour purple too. at least they don’t portray women in a derogatory light, like miss julie (who’s a skank) or hedda gabler (she’s nuts) or medea (cold-blooded child-murderer). who else… mayber lear’s favourite daughters, regan (president with same name was assassinated) or goneril (named after an std… yikes). okay fine, those two i kid. :P
(if you’re male just skip the last bit, sorry. it’s nothing much, really)
i’m trying not to feel so bloody irritated. fine, stuff happens, i can accept that.
the me three years ago would’ve gone into a bad case of verbal diarrhea. last year i might’ve written a lengthy and irritatingly ambiguous rant. but currently all i feel is disappointment. and annoyance. mostly annoyance.
at least there’s a silver lining to all of this: it’s the man-up-there’s sign to me that i should stop being so slack and unfocused.
oh well. no biggie. noooooooo biggie.
anyway this kinda cheers me up anyhow. it’s funny and it’s such a fml worthy-moment:
fuggersnaps. >:(
