sup my homies! juuuust finished my lear extract analysis. went out with my shawties ming and kk to buy my superduperlong overdue present! yay which are my new shoes, i’m gonna wear em to school tomorrow! they’re perfect, except for the fact that they’re so tight such that after i put on the super thick ac socks, the circulation to my feet are cut off. but tis okay. i dont find having to amputate my feet (choi!) for a pretty pair of shoes. lol i’m actually wearing them now, complete with socks, to expand them as much as i can before school tomorrow. and i hope they don’t strangle my feet. i mean if i have to cut off my feet cos they are paralysed after wearing my new shoes for 1 day it’s quite wasteful leh. i’ll be wheel-chair bound, then that’s pretty inconvenient. cannot shop for nice shoes anymore.
anyway when i came back from the shopping my grandma fed me this strange orange. she chopped it and while i was eating it, i asked her why it was missing the top. to which she replied “oh cos one half was rotting so i cut the black parts off” OMG too late for me to spit it intothe rubbish bin cos i finished it by then. she’s too frugal -_- and so if i end up missing school for another 4 days you’ll know the reason why. MY GRANDMA FED ME A POISON ORANGE D:
anyway ming was telling kk and i how the part of our brain that judge the attractiveness of the opposite sex (or the same sex, if you flow that way) is turned off when we’re in love. which is quite true, cos throughout the trip ming kept saying her bf was the hottest guy on earth and she kept asking kk who she thinks is hotter than him in nj. (but i think ming is just wierd la, she can tell when girls are hot but she dunno if guys are hot or not. hello shouldn’t it be the other way round?!) haha omg that’s quite amusing actually. what if your bf wasn’t really cute (read: FUGLY), would you still be blind and say that he’s damn attractive?! well the girls were saying that hot doesn’t equate to cute, so… maybe his face is shit but he has a tight body. omg that’ll be damn wierd. imagine william hung face + michael phelps body. errrrrrr if my bf was like that i’ll bring him to the plastic surgeon and lie that it’s the dentist so after he wakes up his face will improve and i wont hurt his ego cos i don’t need to tell him explicitly “eh your face… maybe need go see plastic surgeon”. oh well, kids you shouldn’t judge people based on their looks! it’s inner beauty that counts… right? O:)))
and after today’s trip i realised heeren is such a limited and boring place. everytime we shope we go there, but we don’t anything cos there’s nothing nice/interesting. haha speaking of interesting, today i’ve decided instead of saying”this is nice” when i show an article of clothing to my friends, i shall say “this is interesting” like what you’d say while in a art gallery. cos i think all my girlfriends think i have bad taste in clothes cos i always show them outrageous stuff (like tiedyed floor-length dresses and neon green tutus… ok exaggerating a bit her) and i tell them it’s nice. then they’ll pull a face similiar to what you’d react when a hobo who hasn’t showered fo 2 weeks comes up to you and says “I LOVE YOU… now gimmie 5 bucks”. yes that kind of disgusted and horrified face. oh in pam’s case she will give me her condescending/patronizing smile. which looks something like…:) <- the ironic smile. it hurts my ego kay. :’( sob… i don’t have bad taste in clothes!!! nooo!! *in denial* next time i’ll say “hey this is… interesting!” means i think it looks different, but doesn’t mean i will wear it, so even if it’s damn ugly it won’t reflect on my tastes :D
haha i’m like ranting to myself here. and omg i dunno if i will survive tmr with my new shoes; THEY ARE REALLY SUFFOCATING MY POOR FEET!!1 better take them off now. but they’re really nice lehh if suzyeo tells me they’re illegal i will cry :/
p.s. i realise after i hang out with ming and kk i become damn bimbo. dang. in chinese we say “if you go near red dye you will become red colour, if you go near ink then you will become black colour” in my case i go near my bimbo friends and my hair turns blonde colour.

first day of school today. was a pretty good start. got to school super duper early (thumbs up!) and found out i got great teachers (double thumbs up! :D) again. now it’s just english hl. keeping my fingers crossed. i used to like lit so much even though i sucked at it, because of mdm oehlers and the wonderful combined pure lit class. okay not really; the times we spent with joy luck club was torture. i hope i never have to do another book about asian women in america ever again.
anyway today i was yawning 24/7 because i could sleep well last night. stupid insomnia. at least i know i’d be able to sleep soundly tonight. i was yawning and yawning even through out lunch it wasn’t even funny anymore. oh and the school food! i forgot to add “keep off the chicken briyani” to my new year’s resolution heh, cos when ever i approach the indian stall it’s like, calling out to me or something.
and keeping in time with my policy of embarassingly honest entries about myself… (why do i even do this):
in 2008 i…
a) gained guy friends. haha yes i’m not ashamed to say that i had no male friends while in nanyang cos… dunno what i was doing in nanyang la. probably gossiping with the babes or shopping too much to care for anything.
b) learnt the true meaning of “burning midnight oil” by the cruelty of math ports and graded IAs
c) somehow signed myself up for chinese a2, not knowing what hell awaited a poor pseudo-china girl me (like the ferocious sheep. i’m kinda glad she’s not teaching us anymore!)
d) learnt to play the guitar (kinda) in an awesome cca. i’m humbly seeking to improve haha. looking forward to the first practice of the year!
e) made so many new friends :D (5.12 proverbs/6.12 jerico lurvee) and our gourmet yukiyaki group whoo!
f) shattered my stereotypes of guys. seriously not the macho-rambo guys i thought acs guys were TSK
g) found a new bff PAMELIA CHIA (known her since sec 1 but i guess we weren’t close until this year)
h) found out how i never really treasured nanyang :( i should visit mrs teo sometime
i) ran council, but… to no avail (haha why am i even digging this out *shameshame*)
h) i had a huge crush on a person whose name started with an A (THERE I’VE SAID IT!!)
well, since it’s the first day of school is always a cause for reflection, i’m semi-baring my soul here. hopefully i’ll be able to treasure 2009 as much as i can. anddd off i am to shower.
p.s. i saw you today but i wish you would stop thinking so much and talk to me.
p.p.s. i guess this post is really fragmented cos i’m so tired from lack of sleep. sorryyy i’ll post again when i’m not falling off my chair from sleepiness.
p.p.p.s. my new motto is NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD. ironic yes, unachievable no.

class boxing day party/chalet was such a riot. especially the secret santa! that was the highlight of the day. i laughed until my stomach hurt looking at the presents. got a cute pair of slippers from steph. really a great big thank you and hug to edward see, who lent out his family chalet for this get together, and also to all the people who got me something, no matter big or small, this christmas/boxing day. actually i’m really touched y’know, it’s just that i can’t show it well. i’ve never recieved xmas presents friends anyone before, because my family doesn’t really celebrate christmas so friends don’t really come over at all. well, my mom got me a gift last year, but that was different because she happened to be in a good mood that day and she had a big end-of-year bonus. and as for the people i didn’t get gifts for, i’m so sorry, i’ll make it up to you on you’re birthday! today was also the first time i played pool. well i sucked at it, but i managed to play some how with a combination of sheer luck and flukes. also the place was so cold my hands were almost shaking. today was a lot of firsts. it was also the day i found out i cannot gamble (as in those throw-one-coin-in-and-push-many-coins-out-machine; they trick you, don’t try it!!)
i found out that you shouldn’t drink cold coffee on an empty stomach too. especially if you’re blood-deficient/low blood sugar/low blood pressure like me because the sugar from the coffee (caramel ice-blend sumore) will go straight into your system. i swear i got symptoms similar to heartburn and there was this lurching feeling in your stomach. also i did something stupid. i was supposed to meet cheryl and pam at the toapayoh supermarket to buy charcoal but i ended up lost in the shops/hdb flats, and i made one big round in the hot sun back to the mrt station. and i had to pretend i was there all along to cover up my mistake, lol. turns out the supermarket was RIGHT beside the mrt. oh boy. i was actually quite frightened by the heartburn-feeling while i was walking around, lost. i was like, shit i need to sit down my heart feels funny. not to mention i felt really nauseous after dinner because, idk, the coffee doesn’t digest properly and it affected my appetite for the rest of the day.
so. moral of the story. don’t drink caramel doused coffee on an empty stomach unless you’re a coffee addict and can stomach the sugar/caffine rush.
p.s. oh gosh the cherries are really potent. i can’t think straight for nuts. sorry people for all that incoherence.
p.p.s. btw bl your nsk techno songs aren’t so bad after all, HAHA!
edit: i really wanna sleep cuz i am so freaking shagged right now, but my head is pounding! not to mention my body’s damn tired but my mind is wide awake. someone help me :(
the skype convo today was an epic fail. i was gonna practice my part of the presentation, so i thought muting the sound for skype on the master control means you mute the sound for all your recipients.. halfway through singing this britney song at the top of my lungs, nicole suddenly texted me on skype telling me the people in the convo could all hear me? :(
anyway someone is really pissing me off. and i don’t mean to sound childish, but i think you need to give me some space. sure, you can check up every single website i go to; sure, you can block youtube and all the websites that i go to for fun; sure, you can turn off the internet every night without fail no matter how many times i tell you that i’m doing work. but how can i blame you for being so anal? you can’t help it. :)
