Europe Trip Post

2010-12-20T01:29:00.006+08:00

Alright, I promised a post after I returned, so here it is!

Warning: LOADS OF PICTURES.

We left on the 2nd of December. Okay, more like the 3rd, because it was midnight. We landed at Zurich in the morning there, had breakfast and went to the airport hotel, called Movenpick, to check in and rest.

This is the view from my hotel room:

My first time seeing REAL SNOW!

View from my dad and sister's hotel room:

We rested a good long while, took naps, then went out around 5-ish for dinner at the airport mall. Took some pictures outside the hotel and inside the hotel. It was bloody cold as we weren't used to the climate yet so we didn't stay out for long.

All red-faced from the cold

After that night in Zurich, we went to catch the train to Milano, or Milan, to Venezia, or Venice. On the train we played cards and Scrabble.

Bored

Guess who won with 309 points? ^^

View from the train window

Reached Milano Station, had to find the train to Venice, got on it.

All tired on the train...

Except for me, wide-awake and listening to music.

Oh, and this is my Travel playlist that I listened to during the train rides, in case you're interested for whatever reason:

Cool - Gwen Stefani

Into the Night - Santana feat. Chad Kroeger

Dream On - Depeche Mode

We reached Venice, walked to our hotel and rested for a bit. I was itching to go out, because truly, Venice is BEAUTIFUL.

We went to a nearby restaurant for dinner where I had THE MOST AWESOME LASAGNA I've ever tasted, then walked onwards past all the shops selling masks and souvenirs and cakes and chocolate and stuff. We walked on a little bit and saw this crowd gathering outside a shop, so we stopped to look at what was going on. I saw a man lying down, face-up, and another man pumping his chest. He had passed out on the ground and the other man was trying to perform CPR.

We walked on a bit and turned back.

When we reached the same crowd again we saw that there were two paramedics running into the crowd with a stretcher. They looked at the man lying on the ground and looked at each other. The man's face had turned blue.

So essentially, I had seen a death during my first night in Venice.

Moving on.

We went back to our hotel as it was cold and slept early.

Next day, we woke up early to have breakfast at the hotel restaurant.

This is the view from the patio outside the restaurant:

It's right on the canal. Beautiful isn't it?

We heard later on that there was a flood in Venice two days ago and the water level reached up to the knees. Ugh. Lucky us, we arrived there right after it subsided.

Continuing with breakfast...

Then after breakfast we took the water taxi to Piazza San Marco. Mum was nagging at me about my red fleece coat, saying it wouldn't be warm enough and I was only wearing it cause it looks good, blah-de-blah-blah. Pfft, whatever. Venice was in fact the warmest place we went to during our holiday, it was 10 degrees. But, mothers.

Anyway, to Piazza San Marco:

On the water taxi

And when we arrived...wow.

It was AMAZING.

All those enormous historical buildings, each one a marvel in its own right. God, it was stunning.

Yes, people now, scenery later, promise.

See, scenery!

Bloody tall tower

Doge's Palace

Huggles

See those metal benches? Those were used because of the earlier flood, to walk on to avoid getting wet.

Oh, and there were TONS of pigeons flying about. Fat ones too, the kind you can catch and roast and eat if you're desperate. They're so fat that they can hardly fly high enough to clear your head. Plus, they're extremely greedy, so that if you hold a piece of bread in your outstretched hand, a whole line of pigeons will land on that arm and can only be persuaded to go away after vigorous shaking, and then running away madly.

I saw this guy sitting with his girlfriend outside a cafe. He wore a black beret and a pigeon landed right on it. His girlfriend laughed and laughed and took a picture. He stood up abruptly, the pigeon stayed on. He jumped and the pigeon jumped off the beret and landed back on it. HAHAHA.

The Redcoats

Metal platforms

Gondolas!

Fat pigeons

REALLY fat pigeon

Anyway!

We walked on and bought some souvenirs from the shops, including glassware and hand-painted purses and masks.

We walked a bit further and went into a Louis Vuitton shop. Mum and Dad bought me my first LV bag, for like 635 euros, which apparently is much cheaper than in Singapore. Whooo!

We got hungry after shopping and went to a restaurant for a late lunch or early dinner or lunner or duncher. Whatever.

Trying on Shermyn's masks

Me with my mouth full of pizza

Then after that...

WE TOOK A GONDOLA RIDE!!!

FOR 80 EUROS!!!

WHICH IS APPARENTLY THE CHEAPEST???!!!!

Rant over.

Photos!!!

My beautiful mum

Our rower

A handsome gondola rower (he's probably married, Danil, relax)

Loads of other boats

Pictures are mixed up because I alternate between my camera and my dad's, so sorry.

Other peepur

My beanie's in almost every picture my dad took -.-

See?

And see again??

Glossed lips to prevent chapping

I know, an awful lot of pictures on the gondola here.

Ciao!

And we're nearing the end of our ride!

Took the water taxi back to Hotel Continental, dumped our stuff and went out for dinner.

Hideous photo, I know

That is red wine.

Kidding. Just cola.

Shermyn's eyes look as blue as her sweater.

Whuttayoulookingat?

Our waiter

After dinner we checked out of the hotel and went to the train station to catch the overnight train to Paris. It was a struggle pulling our luggage up though. Ugh.

We found our bunk and settled in. Me and Poo took the upper bunks.

It was SO cool.

Not my most flattering angle.

Yeah, we had that much luggage to bring along, so we had to put the heavy suitcases on the floor.

I look like L, of Death Note.

Sweet dreams :)

We slept quite soundly even though I was a tad scared of falling off the bed and onto the luggage or onto one of my parents, 'cause the only things preventing me from falling were the belts. Plus I was pretty small, so I wasn't sure if the two belts could actually hold me in place.

We woke up, got dressed and alighted. Paris was colddddd. We got a taxi, checked into the Victoria Palace Hotel and put down our stuff. Only one room was available for us since we checked in early, so we all bunched up to that room.

WOW.

It was HUGE!

And while we were in the room, IT SNOWED.

I WAS EXHILARATED.

Shaky with euphoria

SO PWETTY

Snowflakes keep falling on my head~

Went out to experience the snow:

Guy walked into the shot

Then we put on our gear and went out for a walk and had lunch at a Japanese restaurant. Food was okay-ish.

We went back and slept after a bit 'cause we were tired.

Next day, we went on the minibus tour to see the famous sights of Paris.

In the bus:

Magnificent hotel

Napoleon

Nutty French drivers

The Louvre! Didn't go inside though. :(

Then we arrived at Notre Dame!

Which is huge and imposing.

I was freezing, because my leggings were thin, hence my sour expression.

Then we went in.

Scary picture, sorry

The man in the yellow windbreaker is Mario, this nice Czech(?) man who was also on the tour with us.

Look at the stained glass windows!

Each a true beauty.

Captured with crappy photographs, sorry.

WA LAO, THE PHOTOGRAPHS DON'T DO AN IOTA OF JUSTICE.

*facepalms*

One of the nicer pictures I've taken thus far.

This too!

This too!!!

After that we had to leave for another church.

Moulin Rouge

Windmill

At the church

Was snowing slightly

No photos were allowed to be taken inside this church though.

After that we went on to the Eiffel Tower.

BUNNYBUNNYBUNNY!

2010-10-24T00:07:00.004+08:00

So I was surfing through Xiaxue's blog just now and I remembered she had this really old entry with tons of cute photos of her pet rabbit. So I went looking for the entry...and found it.

LOOK AT THE BUNNY

The eyes are SO HUGE and PRETTY and it's just like a white ball of fluff. SO SO SO CUTE!!!

I searched for a bit and found out its breed:

A dwarf hotot.

Cute name right? Hotot hotot hotot.

Look at those gorgeous EYES.

EEEEEEEEEEK. That's it. I want one!

Okay, sorry. Cuteness rant about rabbits over.

Well. So on the 21st, I went to school to sit (okay, more like stand) for my Science Practical Paper.

Everyone in the AVA room was frantically doing last minute revision for the exam. The atmosphere was tense. Everyone was nervous as hell, and me too, of course.

When we entered the examination lab, I saw the retort stand, with the burette and the tap attached. My thought waves went:

FUCKOMGIT'STITRATIONWE'REDEADSHITWE'REDEAD

And then I realized later on it was for Physics. PHEW.

But it was awful!

I'm really tiny - 154 cm tall - and the table itself is about up to just below my chest level. Add that with the retort stand, metre ruler and burette and...well, I can't even put the funnel at the mouth of the burette. So what could I do?

Stand on my chair.

So I did, and even then I had to tiptoe to put in the funnel and pour in the beaker of water. It was annoying because I wasn't eye level with the meniscus at the top, so I couldn't gauge it properly. But oh well.

And because I had to stretch my arm so much, I spilt some water onto my paper too. Bah!

The first part of the experiment involved letting the water drain to 10 cm cube within 15 to 20 seconds. I had to try four times to get this timing. Ugh!

Chemistry was okay, but I was scared of the salt 'cause it was corrosive. :S

Overall it was okay. People complained about the difficulty of the Physics experiment, but IMO both were so-so. Doable, certainly.

Well, it's over now. So all that's left is to PANIC ABOUT THE REST OF THE EXAMS THIS WEEK OMG

Leave the past as it is.

2010-10-09T10:00:00.003+08:00

Still clinging on; still hoping things won't change; still living with the illusion that everything's okay.

Because it's not, not anymore, and it probably never will be again.

We are never going to "make it through", are we?

So long, to all the sweet memories.

Dirty Pictures Day -.-

2010-10-01T22:54:00.002+08:00

Song of Kali plays on...

2010-09-19T21:36:00.002+08:00

So I was in the car, stuck at the red light at the intersection about half a kilometer from my home. This green minibus with a Malaysian plate just ran the light, and promptly collided with a black car.

It happened SO fast.

You know how in the movies, it goes with an ear-splitting screech of brakes, with a deafening crash, followed by an explosion or the shattering of the car's windscreen? It's nothing like that. Okay, there was a horrible screeching as the cars tried to brake and swerve away from each other. But the crash that followed as the minibus rammed the car wasn't that loud after all. The cars' windscreens didn't shatter, but the black car spun over to the side of the road. The minibus stayed in the middle of the intersection. All around me, people in their vehicles sat straight up and wound down their windows and craned their necks to get a better view. A man in the double-decker bus next to our car whipped out a camera and took pictures of the crash.

And this occurred in the space of one and a half, or two, seconds.

There's no time to really react when you witness this. All you feel...is nothing. Nothing but infinite silence that flows on and on until you snap back to reality, and your mind screams, YOU'VE JUST WITNESSED A FUCKING ACCIDENT! That's when everything floods back and you feel a knot of tension in your stomach, and you hear the radio playing Lady Gaga, and all you can do is sit back and wonder, with a faint, flat curiosity about the safety of the passengers in both cars. When that moment of shock fades, everything returns to normal. The lights change and the cars move, avoiding the green minibus, and things move on, just like nothing happened, like everything's cool.

I guess it's human nature to react that way - to block out the incident or push it away from your mind, to reject the possibility that death or serious injury lies less than five feet from where you're sitting behind your wheel. All you really do about it, is:

1) Curse at the driver of the green minibus, say a few sympathetic words for the passengers in the black car, and drive away, with the memory of it fading as the scene leaves your vision.

2) Shake your head sadly and take pictures of the scene to show to all your friends the next day, or post it up somewhere on the net. It'll probably be on Stomp in a couple of hours.

And that's it.

Life as usual, when death hangs all around us.

Dalini's Farewell Picnic

2010-08-14T09:50:00.003+08:00

Gosh, had quite a day yesterday.

School was alright, ASAP was cancelled. Woooooooooooooo!

So I got home, got ready, went out to meet the rest of the guys at Marina Bay MRT Station. I reached, called Dalini, and they gave me directions where to walk to meet them. Yi Hui met me and walked me to the bus stop. Met Farhan, Dalini, Suzanna and Sherly at the bus stop. We waited for the chartered bus, took it to Marina Barrage and met Syamil and Leslie there. Then we walked up to the top of the Barrage and set down our stuff.

The view of the place all around us is really beautiful, considering it's, well, SINGAPORE. A great place to go for couples.

People were flying kites all around us.

Sorry about the big-ass pictures in advance, I just copied and pasted them from Facebook.

The cake they bought for Dalini was...awesome. Seriously seriously awesome.

Look at all that CHOCOLATE.

After a bit we went down to the shop to buy bubbles and (maybe a kite) and drinks, headed back up again. Wei Ren came along a short while later and we started eating. I shared chicken rice with Dalini and Wei Ren. We had a great sharing session about our love lives. Great way to bond, guys. (No sarcasm for once)

Then we played with LIGHTSTICKS.

We drew crazy patterns in the air:

Then we tried a heart, without much success:

Then a star:

And then names:

Yay

These were a pair of sisters who we asked to help us in our name-drawing efforts

Sherly's friend

Wei Ren insisted on us re-doing his name like 6 times. =.=

And finally, Syamil's crazyawesome patterns:

Not a very nice picture though :(

Wei Ren copied me!

Lightsticks <3

And we took the lift and headed home.

Yes, my reflection in the mirror.

We walked ALL THE WAY out to Marina Bay MRT, which was like a 3km walk. We talked and sang and laughed and joked while walking. Then when we were nearing the highway, Suzanna dropped the bag of marshmallows. The guys picked them up and stacked them on the side of the road. LOL

We took a pit stop just before the train station and drank water. Afterwards we walked to the train station and took the train home. I got home just before midnight. Was so tired I crashed out almost as soon as my head hit the pillow.

All in all, truly a night to remember.

I know this isn't my usual taste in music, but it's just awesome, trust me.

If you've watched Kill Bill Vol. 1, you'll know the instrumental bit of the song was used in the final battle, with Beatrix Kiddo versus O-Ren Ishii:

Blind - Lifehouse

2010-07-31T20:57:00.003+08:00

Well I was young but I wasn't naive
I watched helpless, as he turned around to leave
And still I have the pain I have to carry
A past so deep, that even you could not bury if you tried

After all this while, I never thought we'd be here, I never thought we'd be here
That my love for you is blind
And I couldn't make you see it
I couldn't make you see it
That I have loved you more than you'll ever know
And a part of me died when I let you go

Well I'd fall asleep only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like it was before
But nights like this, it seems are slowly fading
They disappear, as reality is crashing to the floor

After all this while, I never thought we'd be here, I never thought we'd be here
That my love for you is blind
And I couldn't make you see it, I couldn't make you see it
That I have loved you more than you'll ever know
And a part of me died, when I let you go.

Hmm...

2010-07-20T17:06:00.002+08:00

Should I just drop it and concentrate on my studies? Should I just forget about it, leave it be? And I'd honestly thought I'd never do this again. But people never change, do they?

And I know I'm supposed to be studying, but come on, give a girl a break!

YAY

2010-07-14T15:11:00.000+08:00

I've FINALLY got my A7x bag!!!

Yeah I was just so damned happy I had to share that.

Have a good day.

For the love of Jesus Christ...

2010-07-07T18:22:00.002+08:00

Stop telling me to eat.

Yes, I KNOW I need energy, especially now. I KNOW I'm supposed to eat food before taking my medicine.

And YES, I DO bloody well EAT. You know how goddamn hard it is to eat with a sore throat and zero appetite???

Stop nagging at me to eat, because it's not my fault that YOU'RE not around to see me eat. Food makes me sick - can you blame me for not eating gargantuan portions, because I'll throw up (as I do every single time) five hours after eating?

For fuck's sake. Leave me alone. If y'all can't find any GOOD advice for me, at least have the courtesy to keep your fucking traps shut and let me die in peace.

Thank you.

Well, in case you didn't know...

15th June BBQ and True Artist Mission

2010-06-23T09:57:00.005+08:00

15th June

Okay, I know this is an entry that's REALLY long overdue. But oh well, at least I'm still blogging about it right?

So, earlier in the day I went with my family to celebrate my mum's birthday at Dempsey Road. We ate seafood at the Long Beach restaurant. Greeeeat food, seriously, I was swooning over the durian puree.

Afterwards, Dad drove me to East Coast Park and I met Rabiahtul, Kinah and Yap Sheng at McDonald's, which was crammed with people watching World Cup. We took some photos, trying to get within the high band of the "smile" meter on Rab's DSLR, but Kinah was the only one who could score that high. :(

After that they walked me to the pit, 31C. Met up with the rest of the people there - Irsyad, Irfan Haziq, Hazirah, Aqilah, Farah, Nadd, Nutdieyarh, Arun, Hambali, Endy, Harris, Syamil, Soleh, Hao Rong, Neezham and Vicky. We played some games like WYR and Charades, then wanted to head to McDonald's to buy food.

But before that, Vicky lost his phone. We were going around searching for it, and suspicion later fell on the other guys who were sharing the pit with us. Oh well.

Went to McDonald's, bought food, went back, ate. During the whole thing we took LOADS of photos.

Nutdieyarh was the most enthusiastic camwhorer. :P

EVERYONE was wearing my beanie. :(

And afterwards we all went to lie down on the mats outside the tent where Nutdieyarh and

Harris were sleeping in.

So we were all talking and laughing till about 4 a.m., when we all finally got some shut-eye.

I stayed awake in the tent and realized it was drizzling at about 6 a.m. I quickly woke the others

up and we dragged our stuff into the shelter nearby. I put a mat on the ground there and fell

asleep. When I woke up, it was FREEZING!

The wind was insane, and it was raining like hell. It was like a goddamn monsoon. We were stuck

inside the shelter for a good hour or so.

Afterwards, me and Soleh went to help a cyclist who had fallen and hurt his leg and face. Ugggh.

Still later, we decided to brave the rain and go home. The others left for the bus stop, while I

went into McDonald's and had breakfast and waited for Dad.

When I got home, I was totally exhausted on account of the lack of sleep. I collapsed on the bed

and crashed for four straight hours.

That about clears it for the barbeque.

Next!

True Artist Mission

Very few of us turned up for this one, just the standard gang: me, Le-yi, Weicong, Zhenqi, Yi Hui,

Syamil, Leslie, Wei Ren, Dalini, Suzanna and Farhan. We met at Wheelock first, got organized,

waited for the latecomers and then continued to our locations. I was teamed with Weicong and

Le-yi. So I was like, the lightbulb. ==

We hung around the area outside Takashimaya for a bit, then went up outside Ion and collected

the flyers from Syamil, and hung about near him. Weicong was dared to go and talk to two girls

and ask for their numbers, which he promptly did - much to the shock (yes, SHOCK, not even

SURPRISE) of the poor targets. >.<

Then we met up with the rest of the group and staged our debate about whether the art on the

papers was "beautiful" or "hideous". I was on the "hideous" side.

After that, we finished up and went to Starbucks at Ion and ordered cake and drinks, which had

to be listed out in fear of screwing up the many, many orders. Somebody (I think it was Le-yi)

wrote "Hai, I love you cashier :D" on the paper.

Then, we played CHARADES! We created quite a fuss in Starbucks, what with the crazy guesses

and loud laughter.

It was a super-awesome game, we played Boys versus Girls. Guess who won? ;D

I got the killer word: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. GAH :(

The Boys' team really wasn't so good, they didn't get many of the words. :P

Whereas WE girls racked up about, what, 80 more points? ;)

Then afterwards Hsien came, and we split up. Me, Le-yi, Hsien, Leslie, Farhan and Suzanna went

to Pastamania for dinner. My order arrived even before I was seated. o_o

Leslie, Le-yi and Hsien went to Cineleisure to play pool after dinner, while me, Farhan and

Suzanna headed for the train home.

At the train station, I got asked for my number again. =.=

Then I went home. My feet were aching with the 3-inch platforms I was wearing.

Okay, end.

On a completely unrelated side note:

Thanks to Leslie, I am FINALLY going to be able to own...

Am SO freaking happy! :D I can't wait!

iPhone!

2010-06-11T13:20:00.002+08:00

Yes, I'm now the proud owner of a black iPhone - with a wicked awesome cover too. Let's see who's gonna be the first person whose message I'll receive on it.

Holidays!

2010-06-05T19:31:00.003+08:00

Gah, it's been a long, torturous week.

Monday: Chinese O Levels

Tuesday - Thursday: School remedial from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Friday: School remedial from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.

And now it's Saturday! Officially, this is supposed to be the beginning of my holiday (HA-HA). And instead?

I have a fever. YAY!

Bah.

Anyway, after remedial yesterday, I went to the dentist with Dad and Poo. Had my teeth cleaned and an X-ray taken, in which I was shown that my lower wisdom teeth are growing SIDEWAYS. Freakin' SIDEWAYS. Obviously I'll have to extract them sooner or later. I'm rather hoping for the "later". (Why on earth are these annoying buggers called "wisdom" teeth? It's not like they grant you epiphanies!)

Afterwards, I went to meet the girls at Plaza Singapura. They were hanging at Starbucks, so I went to meet them there.

Yeah, they had been REALLY bored.

Then I came along, and we waited a bit longer for Farah, and went to KFC to eat.

Radhiah was checking her phone ceaselessly every 3 minutes or so, waiting for Anthony. ;)

After that we walked around a bit and went to The Cathay.

Radhiah met with Anthony and they deserted us. >:(

Elfira and Rabiahtul had to head home at 6, so me and Farah returned to Plaza Sing and walked around a bit more before I had to leave.

I just wish A and H had been there :(

Syamil's "Surprise" Birthday Party

2010-05-19T14:25:00.003+08:00

Last Sunday (16/5) me and some of the MSG folks got together, planning a surprise party for our beloved leader Syamil. Le-yi and I bought Syamil a suggestive card and a black fedora at Causeway Point, then we met up with the others - Leslie, Yi Hui, Sherly, Wei Ren, Science, Zhenqi, Suzanna and Farhan - at the MRT station before we went to catch the 912 bus to Dalini's place. And at the next stop...

Guess who got on?

Everyone screamed, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Syamil told us he'd head home first, and we all alighted a stop too early. It was pouring rain, and only three of us carried umbrellas. So we decided, 6 of us would walk over to the location first, and go back for the rest. I went with Sherly. And on our way there, while we were waiting for the traffic light to change, the others drove by us, waving madly, in a taxi. -.-

We met at the Loy Kee Chicken Shop place (I dunno what's the place called) and went to get the food and drinks and party favors. Dalini and I went to order the pizzas. Afterwards, we walked to Dalini's house and headed to the function room, picking up Red on the way.

Ta-daaa :D

Obscene balloons

"Hi."

Yay hat

Card!

I didn't manage to get this :(

We ate the pizzas, drank some (fizzy and really sweet) wine Science had brought, watched TV, and watched Kickass. I had to leave the earliest - at 9. -.-

All in all, it was fun. :)

Deja vu.

Notice how it's a cycle now?

You know what, you decide what to do here on out.

Dress Your Best Mission

2010-05-09T10:49:00.002+08:00

So on the 1st of May I attended the M:SG Dress Your Best Mission.

Was a little late. Met with the others near the Blue Fountain at the Esplanade and got the briefing about the rundown of the mission: we were to kind of photobomb some tourists who were being taken a picture of by our cameramen.

Met a few new people - Drake, Leon, Anderson, Herlina, Sherly, Zhenqi, Jack, Zhong Hao, Jeremy and Weicong, and some of the old ones again - Yi Hui, Leslie, Syamil (of course), Dalini, Science, Koon Hui, Farhan, Woonie and Zi Hao.

After we were all briefed, we walked to the site. I was teamed with Dalini, Anderson, Science and Herlina. We hung around for a bit and tried to act nonchalant until the cue was given, then we all RUSHED to gather around the bewildered tourists and take pictures. CHEESE!!!

Afterwards, we headed to this large wooden deck and sat down playing Truth or Dare cards for a while, before Syamil caught up with us and gave us another briefing. We headed back again for the second round, and trying to act all tourist-y, we took pictures of ourselves.

Science is a total photobomber.

Found another group of "victims", rushed in again. When that was over we went to take group pictures with the Merlion.

After that we all had a debrief, and some of us left. The rest of us went to the Esplanade, and on the way, we encountered a group of senior folks dancing. Naturally, some of us joined.

Afterwards we went into Esplanade and enjoyed the air-con, then headed up to Marina Square on a "human train". God the stairs were quite a hassle. We derailed halfway :(

Went into Starbucks, found a spot, asked the other patrons for chairs, and everyone managed to find a seat. We talked a lot, and played White Magic. ;)

About an hour or so later, we went up to Marina Food Loft for dinner. Was hard going finding a table at first. Us girls - Sherly, Yi Hui, Dalini, Le-yi and me were trying to find a table outdoors, then the guys helped us find another table indoors. Me, Dalini and Sherly had pasta for dinner. Which was GOOOOOD.

Le-yi stole a piece of my bacon. :(

Both she and Leslie had half-boiled eggs for dinner, and poured an ATROCIOUS amount of soy sauce. SERIOUSLY, the egg was SWIMMING in the black stuff.

HAHAHA, me and Le-yi poked Science in the cheeks to create dimples.

Le-yi, me, Yi Hui

We talked till about 10, then we left for home. I, Le-yi, Yi Hui, Zi Hao, Zhenqi and Jack got on the red line train home. Talked a lot there, I quizzed them and Zi Hao mocked us girls for being short. ==

Got home, was exhausted, crashed out shortly after going online.

Booyah

2010-04-29T20:34:00.001+08:00

HAHAHAHA

I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight.

2010-04-14T19:33:00.001+08:00

Seek me for comfort, call me for solace.

2010-04-08T21:54:00.003+08:00

Yay Threadless!

Latest guilty pleasure.

About time my annual fever bout came.

2010-04-07T22:18:00.000+08:00

NO, WE DO NOT ALL TALK LIKE THAT HERE IN SINGAPORE.

What has been seen cannot be unseen.

2010-03-29T20:41:00.004+08:00

Last Saturday, approximately 11 pm.

As we rounded the corner, the headlights skimmed over the Honda parked in the corner furthest from the carpark entrances/exits. Although the lights were trained on it for only about a couple of seconds, it was more than enough time for me to notice what was going on.

Inside the Honda, two silhouettes moved, in the backseat.

The image didn't register until we rounded the other corner. In that fleeting moment it became apparent what I had just witnessed; something which I had, up until that point, never thought (or hoped) to ever see. Now that I have, I just can't forget it, though I really wish I could.

Yes, fine, whatever. All that bullshit above summarizes into this one succinct line:

While I was heading back home from a late night movie,

I SAW A COUPLE HAVING SEX IN THEIR CAR.

Birthday Wishes

2010-03-24T10:35:00.004+08:00

Well, I'm 17 now. An awkward age - you're stuck in between two PRIME ages, 16 and 18. There's nothing you can do at 17 that you can already do at 16, and there's nothing new you can do at 17 since you're not 18. ==

Sports Day '10.

As usual, we arrived late.

As usual, Zhong House won.

As usual, Qin House got first in cheering.

As usual, it was boring after the first two hours.

So, guess what we did for the rest of the time?

Syamil = vampire

Yucky vanilla bread.

Rab, you look awesome. :p

THEODORA LOVES BLUENY

Theodora loves Danil

Lala & Syamil

Do I get the nerd of the year award?

Yep. We camwhored, ate, read books (okay, just me), cheered till we nearly lost our voices, camwhored some more, listened to music, cheered some more, chatted, gossiped and camwhored again.

After Sports Day we went for lunch, then me, Radhiah, Shu Xian and Elfira headed to Jurong East stadium for basketball cheering. Me and Rad left early. Shhh. >.>

I went home, showered, changed, looked at the time and panicked, ran out of the house and hailed a cab, and spent the next 25 minutes in the cab:

1) Smsing John apologies

2) Listening to music

3) Staring out the window and mentally swearing at all the red lights and heavy traffic

4) Wondering if I could make it in time

5) Trying to work out if it would be better if I had taken the MRT

6) Controlling my heart's aching over the loss of my 22 dollars for the cab fare

and

7) Reaching Vivocity at LAST, at 6.55 p.m.

Rushed upstairs to meet John, we got tickets and a drink and popcorn, went to watch the movie.

Was alright. No plot, but it was interesting visually.

Had to go home after that 'cause today's a school day.

This morning, woke up extremely tired and slept on the bus on the way to school. Had an awful boring day. Slept on the bus too when I was heading home. Gah. I must be even more exhausted than I realized.

Oh well, there's still the school parent-teacher meeting tonight to look forward to. (sarcastically)

And the triathlon at Sentosa tomorrow. (nope, no sarcasm here)

Some miscellaneous shots to end off:

Syad is horrible at photographing.

Elmo!

2010-03-06T21:53:00.004+08:00

Gahhh. Am supposed to be finishing up my Mandarin composition, but instead, I'm blogging and going through Facebook. What's wrong with me?! Focus, you beeyotch. *slaps face*

Still half a mind to switch to Tumblr. For those who don't know my Tumblr, here it is: http://theo-dora.tumblr.com.

My schedule nowadays is absolute shite. It goes like this:

Monday: School from 8 am to 2.15 pm. ASAP (After School Academic Program) until 4.15. Chinese tuition afterwards until 5.15. Go home, bathe, go online, eat, do homework due for next day, go online a bit more, shut off laptop, get ready for bed, sleep.

Tuesday: *Refer to Monday* - Chinese tuition + Possible night tuition for 2 hours. If there's night tuition, strike off "go online".

Wednesday: School from 8 to 2.15. Go home, slack for a bit, crash out till 5 or 6. Wake up, shower, dinner, homework, online. Also possible tuition.

Thursday: Refer to Tuesday.

Friday (TGIF): School till 12.15. Go home and slack and go back to Woodlands' home.

Saturday: MOSTLY slack day.

Sunday: Chinese tuition from 2 to 4. Go home, have early dinner, go back to Jurong afterwards.

All in all, I have approximately 20 hours of slacking time a week. A big change from last year, eh?

CT1's L1R4: 20 points. FMLFMLFML

Will somebody invent a fully functioning time machine or cloning device? I just wanna skip the days ahead till the second week of June, and then to after O's.

God give me strength to sit through all my homework and cram all the junk from my textbooks into my mind, cause right now my eyeballs are basically empty hazel voids when I so much as look at my assignments.

Nightmare mode.

And I miss you to bits.

Because THIS doesn't need a title.

2010-02-19T22:07:00.003+08:00

Keep the noise low.
She doesn't wanna blow it.
Shaking head to toe
while your left hand does "the show me around."
Quickens your heartbeat.
It beats me straight into the ground.

You don't recover from a night like this.
A victim, still lying in bed, completely motionless.
A hand moves in the dark to a zipper.
Hear a boy bracing tight against sheets
barely whisper, "This is so messed up."

Upon arrival the guests had all stared.
Dripping wet and clearly depressed,
he'd headed straight for the stairs.
No longer cool, but a boy in a stitch,
unprepared for a life full of lies and failing relationships.

(Up the stairs: the station where
the act becomes the art of growing up.)

He keeps his hands low.
He doesn't wanna blow it.
He's wet from head to toe and
his eyes give her the up and the down.
His stomach turns and he thinks of throwing up.
But the body on the bed beckons forward
and he starts growing up.

The fever, the focus.
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell.
Die young and save yourself.
The tickle, the taste of...
It used to be the reason I breathed but now it's choking me up.
Die young and save yourself.

She hits the lights.
This doesn't seem quite fair.
Despite everything he learned from his friends,
he doesn't feel so prepared.
She's breathing quiet and smooth.
He's gasping for air.
"This is the first and last time," he says.
She fakes a smile and presses her hips into his.
He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides.
He's holding back from telling her
exactly what it really feels like.

He is the lamb, she is the slaughter.
She's moving way too fast and all he wanted was to hold her.
Nothing that he tells her is really having an effect.
He whispers that he loves her,
but she's probably only looking for se-...

(Up the stairs: the station where
the act becomes the art of growing up.)

So much more than he could ever give.
A life free of lies and a meaningful relationship.
He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides.
He waits for it to end
and for the aching in his guts to subside.

The fever, the focus.
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell.
Die young and save yourself.
The tickle, the taste of...
It used to be the reason I breathed but now it's choking me up.
Die young and save yourself.

Up the stairs: the station where
the act becomes the art of growing up.

The fever, the focus.
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell.
Die young and save yourself.
The tickle, the taste of...
It used to be the reason I breathed but now it's choking me up.
Die young and save yourself!

Free Hugs and Hearts!

2010-02-15T12:34:00.004+08:00

Attended the Have a Heart mission on the 13th. Brought along Hafeezzah and Elfira. Met in Ion and had lunch together, then we headed towards Borders. Along the way, we directed three German ladies to Far East Plaza, then went to gather outside Borders with the rest of the agents. Collected our stacks of paper hearts, split into groups, and started.

I was grouped with Hafeezzah, Elfira, Le-yi, Syamil, Leslie, Sammy, Mercia, Hui Hoh, Zhanyee, Calvin and Darryl.

We went around sticking the paper hearts onto people's shirts, then we'd ask if they wanted a hug. I gave out about 250 to 300 hearts, got maybe 150 to 200 hugs.

Photos!

Skullcandy

2010-01-26T19:59:00.003+08:00

Skullcandy is an awesome brand.

Can't decide which pair to get.

Opinions?

They cost 70 bigs each, by the way.

Fire alarm in school went off yesterday. People were yelling and screaming "FIRE! FIRE!" and running around like headless chickens. Future school my ass.

Nothing else to update on, except that I'm now eating a slice of juicy watermelon. Om nom nom.

And of course, the customary...

I love you, Danil.

THERE. HAHAHA :P

Yes, I'm your one and only but I'm not the only one.

2010-01-18T15:35:00.002+08:00

Can't stop listening...

Anyway.

I'm beginning not to feel much anymore. Scared about a lot of things.

Had a nightmare a few nights ago, I dreamt I got 32 points for my O's, and wept enough tears to flood Singapore. Woke up with a palpitating heart.

I got freaking 18 upon 30 for my English compo. Which is like my all-time-low grade. I quote Mrs Low: "Theresa, your tenses are wrong."

I looked at the paper. I'd written the topic Sorrow, in a story in present tense. Far as I'm concerned, there isn't anything wrong with it. I told her, "But I wrote it in present tense."

She took the paper, looked at it, looked at me again, and said, "Don't write in present tense. It's not allowed."

WTF???

Moving on.

Friends - I know I'm not the friendliest of persons, but I never actually realized how cold I was until someone pointed it out to me - I never wave, say Hi first, or make much eye contact. And apparently, whenever I smile, my eyes remain exactly the same way as they are when I have a neutral expression. In other words - an insincere smile.

Sorry, but I never asked to be so completely transparent. And no, I'm not being snappy. It's the truth. The only reason I don't initiate salutations is because I'm afraid of the other party not reciprocating, that's all. I have nothing against you personally, I swear.

Next.

Family - I'm distancing ever so slightly from them. It's a total love-hate bond. I'll be singing their praises when they spoil me and mentally unleashing all the profanities I've ever heard of on their person if they don't. Why am I such a bitch. And no, that is not a question.

Last.

You. (You - heck, everyone else - knows who you are.) Is it me, or is there a faint lull in our relationship nowadays? There isn't much to say anymore to each other. You're busy with your flying, I'm busy with my schoolwork. Neither of us is at fault. But I do feel like we're not communicating so well nowadays. Don't misinterpret this. I love you. You know I do. Maybe I miss you so much ever since Genting, that I'm overthinking on all this shit. All I can say is, I can't wait to see you again. Just five more months...

Time to return to the safe, relaxing haven of music. Earphones: in.

Panicky

2010-01-12T18:13:00.002+08:00

O Level results were released yesterday. For those who're happy with their results, congratulations. For those who aren't...well, sorry, but you just have to find other options. =/

We clustered at the far end of the right corridor overlooking the hall, and watched as the distinctions were announced. Top scorer: 9 distinctions.

Holy bejesus.

Mrs Low burst into tears afterwards when she told us about last year's 5A batch's English results. So many of them got E8. Freaking E8. You can have a record as immaculate and as impressive as a single digit score, but getting below D7 for English? Wave bye-bye to JC/Poly.

Then she turned to me, looked at me and said, "Theresa, I'm going to be frank here. Out of all of you, you're the only one who can pass."

I stared back dumbly. "Pass? I don't want a pass!"

She sighed.

I said confidently (enough), "I don't care. This time next year, you're gonna be seeing my name on that distinction list. I don't care."

Oh God, what have I gotten myself into???

Me and a few of the other classmates have come up with a backup plan - if we find we ain't coping so good with the O's by March, in April we're gonna head out to ITE for the second intake.

I put this plan to my parents. Three guesses as to what they said?

...

"No Theresa, you stay in your school and you do O levels. We don't want you to go ITE."

Backup plan FAILED.

To make matters worse, I'm trying desperately to "wake up", as in, achieve that die-hard-study mode. I DO study, but not fullheartedly - my mind's not on my work sometimes.

How do I wake up?!

Arghxfjgkojasdlkf.

I sure as hell don't wanna be shedding tears of disappointment in January 2011.

Major sigh.

To those who're in the same dilemma as me, I wish you all the best.

To those who aren't, lucky you.

Guess it's back to the books, Theo...

Wish me luck.

Sick

2010-01-03T15:49:00.003+08:00

Telltale signs that I'm getting sick soon:

Grumpy and impatient even more often than usual.

I tire easily. Too easily. Can barely hold up a shopping bag for longer than ten minutes.

Beginning to withdraw. I spend a lot more time zoning out now than before. Books and games are better companions than my friends.

My appetite has dwindled so much that a single can drink leaves me bloated.

Argh.

2010.

2010-01-01T17:18:00.002+08:00

Whoa, a new year.

Doesn't it feel weird, knowing that another year has already shot by, and you're now looking ahead at a fresh 365 days of writing dates with 2010?

Anyway, update.

New's Year Eve:

Woke up at 9, slept to 9.30, woke up, slept to 10, got up, showered, checked my phone, changed. Jonathan and Rupert were already in, using their laptops. Therry came by to return Prototype and give me my presents: a basketball pump and net. Thank you. :)

She stayed for a while, we played Guitar Hero, Wii Resort Sports and MarioKart. She left around 1. :(

Cheryl came shortly before Therry left. :D

Around 3, the rest of the guys started coming: Xavier, Andre, Chen Yang, John, Alvin, Kimluk. All either played the Wii, or the Xbox, or hung out in one of the rooms chatting.

John gave me a small rock and a small cellphone-chain plush turtle.

Chen Yang gave me a Motley Crue: Greatest Hits CD.

Thanks guys! :)

Both the guys left early.

Afterwards, we went for dinner, ate a LOT, went back, played a bit of Fatal Frame, then moved to my room, where Andre taught us to play bridge. Still not very good at it. :(

Got a call from Danil at around 11:10 pm, we chatted for a bit. If only we could've talked face-to-face...

Played cards with Jonathan, Andre, Alvin and Shermyn until 12-ish, when Jonathan and Cheryl had to leave. Rats.

New Year greeting messages received before midnight: 6

New Year greeting messages received 15 minutes after midnight (network jams): 18

Continued playing cards with the rest of the boys - played Uno: Intercept and Cheat. Then Andre had to leave.

Alvin and Kimluk stayed till 2-ish, then left.

Went online, talked a while, crashed out.

----

2010's Resolutions:

1) Push hard to achieve a score of 12 and below for O's.
2) Regain my former confidence.
3) Stop making empty promises.
4) Stop being such a spendthrift.
5) Devote at least 5 hours a day (school hours/after-school hours/tuition hours NOT counted) to studying.
6) Be happy with what I possess - whether physical or material.
7) Stop neglecting my friends.
8) Stop wanting to go out so often.
9) Better myself as a person without resorting to "drastic means".
and
10) Not distract/drift, and stay completely true to my love.

To: Danil - have a great year ahead of you, sayang. June/July yeah? I'm always here for you. Always. :) <3 All the time.

Therry, Cheryl, Jonathan, John, Andre, Chen Yang, Xavier, Rupert, Kimluk and Alvin: thank you all for coming. I hope y'all enjoyed yourselves here. Happy New Year, for those who I didn't get to wish at midnight. :)

Everyone who wished me a Happy New Year, either online or through texts: Thank you all so much. I wish you all the best as well.

Happy 2010, to everybody else.

Let's see how well this year turns out.

Oh crap.

There's less than 20 hours to go before I have to return to school to collect my N Level results. Shit. Shitshitshitshitshit. This blows.

Why am I worrying?

Everyone's telling me that it's no sweat, I'm DEFINITELY a cinch for next year. Riiight.

I'm freaked over my Mother Tongue paper, Math paper 2 and the Sciences. I'm so screwed.

What if I don't make it? I don't wanna repeat and I don't wanna go ITE.

Sigh.

I need a pick-me-up. Like sweets, or more soda, or some random awesome/funny crap, like these:

Merry Christmas.

Decent cover of Heart's "Barracuda". Fergie has awesome vocals.

Back from Malaysia!

2009-12-14T13:45:00.002+08:00

Hey all, I just got back from my 10-day trip to Malaysia last night.

Since SOMEONE is so insistent that I blog, well fine, I shall. ;)

So!

I left on the 4th, we reached at about 4 a.m. Was exhausted when we got to Puchong, so I crashed out and woke up at 11. Got up, showered, watched TV, ate brunch, then we drove off to Tulok Intan (if that's how it's spelt) for my dad's colleague's wedding. We stayed at a small B&B there.

Got bored on the highway.

Rested for a bit, showered, then changed and headed to the restaurant.

Mum looks gorgeous, huh?

Next day, went back to Puchong and headed to The Curve for dinner. Ate at TGIF's, met Danil for a short while. :)

Wanted to go to Sunway the next day, but bloody Shermyn refused to wake up till 2. FML

So, we decided to go to 1U.

We spent 3 freaking hours in ONE department store. SHEESH!

Saw Alvin and Danil at a distance, didn't get to speak to Danil. =/ Pfft.

Drink.

Next day, we headed up to Genting. Nothing much to say about the place, until Wednesday.

Which was AWESOME!

Woke up, checked my phone, rushed to shower, woke up Dad, nagged at him to get up and take me for breakfast, had breakfast, went to the theme park's entrance and waited for Danil, Alvin and Kevin. Went in, we split up, I walked around with Danil for a bit, we talked a lot. :) First ride we took was the pirate ship. Had to persuade Danil to get on it. xD But he enjoyed it. Didn't you?

We sat on the backmost seat, where all the fun would be at. There was another couple beside me, and the lady was SCARED. She kept burying her head in my lap and screamed. ><

After that, we went to take the Corkscrew. Again, had to persuade Danil to take this one. A LOT of persuasion.

We argued for a bit about the pronunciation of the word "tarot", then I suggested taking the Spinner and he suggested the Spaceshot. INSANE!

Went to the boat ride after that, where Danil met a friend while in the queue. We got on one of the boats and peddled around for a bit.

We left the theme park after he tried to win me prizes, but failed. Ahh well.

Oh yes, and to my surprise, when we walked past the wide concourse area, I heard Nightwish being blasted out. Awesome.

We went to the Ripley's Believe It or Not museum, looking at the exhibits, getting, well, preoccupied at times. >.>

All in all, I had a really fun time. You're a great date, sayang. :D

Walked him to the cable car station, where we waited for Alvin and Kevin. They came after a bit, and we all sat down, talked for a while and then they all left. :(

Rest of the Genting trip isn't worth mentioning...

Headed to Malacca on Saturday. Stayed at the Hotel Renaissance.

Went to Mahkota Parade for dinner, walked around, bought a pair of big orange hoop earrings.

See?

Yeah, that's about it.

Last note:

See, I blogged. :) I know I didn't go into the deep detail, but that's because I want the memory to be ours, alone. I wanna go back to that day and relive it all over again. The 5 hours didn't FLY by; it took a Learjet. == I miss you so so SO much.

09.12.09 is truly a date to remember.

I love you, Danil Izwan bin Zulkifli. All the time. :)

I used to be love drunk...oh wait. Still am.

2009-12-09T00:48:00.002+08:00

Genting.

Is just flat-out boring. Bahh.

Got here at like 5. Checked into the Maxim suite, took a bath. Had my bath interrupted due to the adults going out and leaving their card keys in the room. WTF?

Got out of the bath, nearly slipped, threw on my underwear and a big sweater and skorts and ran out with Boo to the lobby, while my heart spewed curses upon my absentminded family. Sheesh!

Got back and enjoyed the rest of my rudely-interrupted bath.

Afterwards, tried out internet. Didn't work. ARGH.

Went for dinner.

Then went with Boo to the arcade. It was so boring.

Anyway, point of this post:

I spent like the WHOLE day thinking of you. Seriously, whole day. Since when I got up from bed at 10 am till now, 1 am, you haven't left my mind for longer than three minutes, I swear. It's like a spell, an enchantment. It's so scary, the way you're hooked into it. Like it's hardwired into my brain already.

I think I'm in love. Like really seriously in love.

Uh oh.

Too many regrets.

2009-12-07T10:18:00.002+08:00

Am in Malaysia now. Staying at my dad's friend's house in Puchong, will be in here till like next Sunday. Don't miss me too much. ;)

Have taken loads of photos, but I'm not gonna upload them just yet. I'll update on Malaysia once I get back to Singapore.

But I SHALL update about something:

Went to the Curve last night for dinner. Met him (yes, HIM). For about five minutes. I was practically shaking with nerves, and I was so STIFF. Gah. Was so full of regrets afterwards, about the things I did and didn't do. FML

If only...

Since I'm on my dad's laptop, I shall proceed to upload some REALLY OLD/YOUNG photos of me:

Yeah, I was a real tomboy back then.

I WAS A DOOF ONCE. LIKE WHEN I WAS 10. So STOP LAUGHING.

Lezzy, Me, Poo

Bloody hell, date's stamped for all to see. ><

WTF. EMBARRASSING MUCH?

CUTE RIGHT? The baby, DUH.

Halloween at Clarke Quay, like a couple of years ago.

I just realized I was dark. LIKE REALLY DARK. Too much basketball.

DON'T STEAL ANY PHOTOS FROM THIS ENTRY. I LOOK AWFUL. And you KNOW who you are. :P

All the time, all the time.

2009-11-27T13:00:00.003+08:00

Time together is just never quite enough

When we're apart whatever are you thinking of?

What will it take to make or break this hint of love?

So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?

All the time.

You make me think in cliches.

A minute without you is a minute gone to waste.

I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you.

You make me wanna love, you make me wanna fall, you make me wanna, surrender my soul.

There's only 1 way 2 do 3 words 4 you.

To Danil:

You called me short, I called you blind. That was how it started.

We've spent the past ten months, talking online deep into the night, texting about 70 smses a day (this isn't an exaggeration), occasionally calling to say "I love you".

I'd always sworn to myself that never would I want to be in love, 'cause it hurts far too much.

But you, you proved me wrong about that.

I've never confided so much into another person before, never.

June 2010 is an eternity away.

And yes, I was afraid at first. But now I've realized that there isn't anything to fear.

You're an addiction, a drug, a balm, all at the same time. You soothe me, you make me crave for you, you heal my wounds with just a smile.

I shall borrow a quote from the movie Stardust:

Yvaine: You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.

Sayang, I just love you so much, that even words just aren't enough. Bear in mind this is coming from the girl who's the top scorer in English class. ;)

Danil Izwan bin Zulkifli: aku cinta kamu.

YES DANIL, YOU DOOF, THAT ENTRY WAS MEANT

FOR "TRISTAN". HAPPY?!

Tragedy unfolds tonight as you sever my skin apart.

2009-11-17T20:08:00.005+08:00

Well you are up so high

How can you save me when the dark comes here tonight

To take me up to my front walk, and into the bed

Where it kisses my face, and eats my head

"Sometimes, at night, he couldn't help himself. He would move to his home screen and ring Laurel. Invariably her eyes would narrow when she saw who it was. Then she would hang up.

And Trager would sit in a dark room and recall how once the sound of his voice made her so very, very happy.

Of all the bright cruel lies they tell you, the cruelest is the one called love."

- Meathouse Man, by George R. R. Martin

Graduation Lunch week

2009-11-15T11:47:00.002+08:00

So, for this week...

I've watched two movies:

Paranormal Activity

and

Jennifer's Body.

Watched Paranormal Activity with Keith. The movie was AWESOME. Really scary and suspenseful. Just that the audience I was with consisted of shrieky girls, who with every footstep and banging door, would scream in ever-increasing decibels and let loose a whole slew of vulgarities. Amusing.

The Jennifer's Body part comes during the graduation lunch bit.

So. Graduation Lunch cum Etiquette Lesson.

Or, as we girls like to call it, our prom.

I woke up close to 9 and was nagged at by my mum. Flew out of bed, bathed, got into my dress, then let mum make up my face. Grabbed a coat and borrowed a silver bag from my mum, then my uncle sent me to Jurong Point so that I could meet with the girls at the interchange.

From there, we walked to Safra.

All of us made a detour to the Ladies':

Then headed upstairs to the Joy Garden ballroom, where we registered ourselves and sat at our assigned tables.

Some sort of concoction was served: lemon drinks, I think.

We (HEARRT) shared tables with Irsyad, Eugene, Boris and Karti.

There was a long speech made by our principal, Miss Tham, then our guest-of-honor, Ms Samantha Chia, made another speech too. We were also given a lesson on proper dining and etiquette. HONESTLY. An etiquette lesson during our PROM?!

Then the food arrived.

Bread and butter was...er, remarkably unremarkable.

Soup was probably from Campbell's.

I only ate the watermelon in the salad.

The fish and chips were cold. The fish tasted more like chicken and some bits were undercooked. The chips couldn't be skewered by our forks.

Mango pudding wasn't too bad, I liked it actually. But the condensed milk that came with it and was supposed to be eaten with the pudding was extremely sweet - even for me, the soon-to-be-diabetic.

The tea was horribly bitter. I threw it a coffee creamer and three packets of sugar, after which it tasted horribly sweet. Gave up.

During the meal, the teachers made speeches about their classes, we played table games, and a few musical talents performed acoustic sets onstage.

We left shortly after the entire lunch ended, at around 2.30.

Headed down to the lobby area and bought a Patrick balloon filled with helium.

I looked dumb.

The balloon is obscene. See my picture? Look at the where the string is tied around. That's right, Patrick the Starfish has, uh, a manhood. We're holding a balloon by the string, which is tied around Patrick's, um, thing.

Gawd.

Headed to Jurong Point, intending to watch Paranormal Activity (again, for me) with the girls. Unfortunately, timings were out and there was a possibility they'd check our ICs. Feezzah wasn't 16, and so we decided to head to West Mall instead because 2012 bookings were full. Rab had to leave, too.

So we took the train heading to Joo Koon so that we'd get seats, and that was when we started playing with the helium balloon. I had to give a blowjob to the balloon in order to suck the helium out. Gives the term "blowjob" a whole new meaning.

We all tried the helium and talked, and laughed very loud. My voice was the best, according to them, because I really sounded like a baby. ><

I got scolded by an old lady cradling a child, who told us to "Behave yourselves". Sorry!

Alighted at Jurong East and took the train to Westmall. We managed to get tickets for...

Jennifer's Body.

Dammit, it was one lousy movie. Stupid and dumb and plotless and pointless and utterly, completely ridiculous. The girls found it okay though. The only bit I actually liked about the show was how they made fun of struggling rock bands. Not to mention how awesome the soundtrack was.

After the movie we all headed home.

For an event that was supposed to mark the end of an educational period of our lives, it wasn't very memorable.

Happy Birthday, Elfira!

2009-11-13T11:06:00.003+08:00

10th November - Elfira's Birthday

Happy 16th Birthday, Elfira. :)

Sorry this came late.

We've known each other for four years, but we only drew close last year. Without a doubt, you are one of the best friends I have EVER had. You're sweet, wonderful, hardworking, responsible, funny, adorable and clever. I'd throw in another couple hundred lines of adjectives, but I don't have a thesaurus handy.

We've laughed over so many things, exchanged secrets and private jokes and always share our thoughts on just about every subject there is - from celebrity gossip to friends and schoolmates and teachers and homework and stuff.

I couldn't ask for a better friend. I really, really, REALLY couldn't.

Exciting
Lively
Funny
Interesting
Radiant
Amazing

This is coming from HEARRTY to Elfira:

Happy Birthday, and we <3 you.

Macau trip

2009-11-11T11:08:00.006+08:00

OKAY, OKAY, don't turn a lynch mob on me, I can take a hint. I'll update.

So, Macau.

First Day: Arrival

We went to the airport and met Cheryl and John and their family there. Had breakfast there in the airport. Food was ridiculously overpriced. Bread and eggs - 7 dollars?! Seriously.

Flight took 3 hours. Slept on it, played cards, shuffled badly and dropped a King of Diamonds below my seat. ARGHXKJGLAJKDSG. Thank god I brought two decks.

Arrived in Macau, got through customs, took a bus to the hotel we were staying at, the Venetian. It was gorgeous.

Ceiling

Fountain. (people threw coins in it. Me, Johnny and Cheryl all threw 5-cent Singapore coins into it. Yes, they were my coins. 15 cents GONE.)

I hate this photo, I look stupid. Cheryl adores it though.

Johnny's feet are about three times the size of mine.

Johnny, Cheryl, me

Checked in, dumped our luggage in the rooms, then went to walk around the huge mall right next to the hotel. The place was full of brand names. The ceiling was sky-colored, so it always feels like the daytime. Had lunch, then walked around a bit more.

The white living statue.

The grannies

John with his parents

At Haagen-Dazs. We all got ice-cream. My flavor of choice was raspberry sorbet. It turned my mouth and tongue red!

Me and Dad, Mum and Poo

Went back to our rooms after that, where we pestered Dad for room Internet and played card games and watched TV until 8 pm or so, when the adults returned from the casino. They freshened up and took us out to dinner at the mall right near Hard Rock Hotel.

Danil says I look Japanese-ish with the legwarmers on.

After dinner, we went to watch a show in a 4D dome - Dragon's Treasure, or something like that. Quite simply put, it was AWESOME! Save for the neck cramps, because you had to look up all the time.

This humongous jellyfish scared the bejabbers out of me when I looked up right above me. It looked as if it would fall at any moment and send me into a dazzling, multi-colored, tentacled death.

Yeah, it was spectacular.

Walked to the lobby of Hard Rock Hotel and I saw the instruments and costumes used by famous bands and people - Madonna, Slash, Elvis, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Metallica, etc. It was magic.

Returned to our hotel after that and crashed out till...

Day 2 - Hong Kong, Boo's birthday

We took the bus to the harbor, where we boarded a ferry for Hong Kong. The trip there took an hour.

Stupid Johnny.

On the ferry.

REACHED!

Had to buy tickets for the subway to Mong Kok station, where the Ladies' Street/flea market shops were at. Being on the trains was an...interesting experience.

A LOT to shop for here. Bags, shirts, hairclips, phone covers, obscene underwear, gimmicky things, etc. I myself bought five hairclips for the girls, a cat costume set, two tank tops and a Harley Davidson cap.

Had dinner at a restaurant.

I looked really odd in that shot, arms look beefy and my body looked tiny.

Ignore the silly expression on my face.

Shermyn looks hilarious. Mum looks gorgeous.

I crack up whenever I see this photo.

Again, took the subway back to the harbor, took the ferry back to Macau. Most of us slept on the ferry.

Then, celebrated Boo's birthday in our hotel room.

The cake was nice. At least it wasn't dropped onto the floor this year.

Stayed up late again, watching WipeOut on AXN. Me and Johnny laughed and laughed and laughed at the poor fools.

Day 3 - St. Paul's Ruins, Halloween

Was really really tired when I woke up.

I love the window ledge. See, my eyes are still puffy.

Took a bus to this place, I can't remember what it's called, but it's where St. Paul's ruins are located at.

THIS STUFF IS AWESOME. Shaved mango ice with pearls. Like eating bubble tea. I love it I love it I love it. I want more NOW.

FINALLY! We've reached.

If a church can burn down thrice, I should think there's something pretty wrong with the location.

Scary.

COIN
1987 - 2009
Rust in Pieces.

We threw that coin up into the ledges of the entrance of the church. It eventually got stuck somewhere, probably on one of the statues.

A tiny temple right next to a huge church. Talk about irony.

Can Can!

Harley Davidson cap, Honda scooter.

We climbed some really steep stairs, up a hill. I was cursing and swearing half the time.

THANK GOD THERE WERE ESCALATORS DOWN THE HILL. (And up, too, but Dad didn't tell us. Sheesh!)

Obscene statue.

Toy shop!

Jason!

\

Back to the hotel. We showered, all changed and went out again for dinner. In celebration of Halloween, I wore a black dress and cat ears.

TA-DA!

Went to this restaurant called Wings. This caught my eye, at the entrance:

Yes, it's a chicken!

With hands.

Walked to the poolside at the hotel, where there was this Halloween party called Heaven and Hell.

That's all for the Macau trip.

Final kicker:

Macauuuuu

2009-10-29T23:50:00.002+08:00

Hey people! I'm in Macau right now, in the hotel room at The Venetian, on my sister's laptop. This place is awesome.

Will be back on Sunday, will post up LOADS of photos. I mean LOADS.

I miss you all, ladies.

And Danil. ;)

Ville looks so sexy and innocent and vampiric in this vid.

I found that I share the same birthday with...

Perez Hilton.

Lip's torn at the corner, it sucks, I can't laugh too much, can't open my mouth too wide, and it looks dead ugly.

Just got Resident Evil 5. Thanks Dad. :D

Can't wait for this.

Yeah, Adam the Clown is scary, but Jo is SICK.

Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net

I set our house on fire to watch it burn.

2009-10-20T11:27:00.005+08:00

Been good, yes. Have had a good week so far.

Friday - Went out with Elfira and Hafeezzah, to Far East to shop. Bought a starry hairband, a dress and a pair of platform slippers. Went to Mac's for lunch, and OH GOD, I accidentally hit my drink with my elbow and it hit the floor, spilling my Coke. Crap. But this sweet guy, one of the employees, he cleaned it up for me without complaint, and THEN he got me a FRESH DRINK. FREE. The girls were joshing me about it afterwards. ><

Weekend - BORING.

Yesterday - Was supposed to work for Daddy, but overslept to 11.45 am (YES YES, I KNOW, QUIT NAGGING). Stayed home with Poo and played the 360. FINALLY GOT DEADRISING.

Today - Danil's birthday. :D Rang him just before midnight, then went to read a book and played some more Prototype, then watched Tropic Thunder before falling asleep.

Oh yeah, and Happy Birthday to you, Danil. :D

Jalan Raya photos

2009-10-12T10:55:00.002+08:00

So.

We (HEART) went out with Yap Sheng to visit houses on Saturday. It was grrrreat.

Mum put make-up on for me. I didn't mind the lipliner and lipgloss and foundation and blusher and mascara, but I didn't care much for the eyeshadow.

First, met with Hafeezzah, Affiqah and Elfira, then took them back to my home, where we rang up Rab and asked about where we should meet. The girls raved endlessly about how beautiful my mum was.

Daddy dropped us at Marsiling and we waited for Idil to arrive, a friend of Hafeezzah's. He came ten minutes later and we walked to his home. All of us were complaining about our heels.

We stayed at Idil's for a short while, about fifteen minutes, then went away and caught the 912E to Causeway Point. Met Rab and Yap Sheng at the platform, and we headed to Lakeside station.

Saw Miss Toh there, looking as delicate and as pretty as ever. Rab bought a bubble tea, then we went to wait for about 10 minutes at the bus stop for the 98, under a brutally scorching afternoon sun. During our wait, we exchanged many jokes and funny stories. Saw Mr Lin, our PE teacher, walking past. He smiled at us, we waved back.

I exchanged shoes with Elfira for the fun of it (we've both got the same size feet). The bus arrived, we pushed and shoved our way into it, and got off three stops later and walked to Elfira's house. Had curry, hard-boiled eggs, nuggets and ketupat there. Elfira's mum was really sweet; she gave me and Yap Sheng green packets and was really nice to us, saying I looked like a distant cousin of Elfira's, and even produced a photo to compare. Did I?

We left shortly after eating, then called up Radhiah and claimed we couldn't go. Then, of course, we walked to her house and went to the wrong house on the right floor. Affy knocked on the door and asked for Radhiah.

Wrong house.

We headed up and down another floor, until we went back to the floor we were originally at and found Radhiah's house. SURPRISE!

Ate more there: dodo and curry. LOL.

Watched the SG Idol rerun on the telly for a bit, then we left for another friend of Feezzah's house. Ate even MORE there; mee goreng and chicken wings. We were all murmuring to each other about how heavy our stomachs felt afterwards. Left pretty soon after that.

Elfira went home, and the rest of us took the 240 to Jurong Point (Yap Sheng got off first at Lakeside). I split up from the girls to meet my family for dinner.

Most of the people we visited asked if I was a Malay or a Chinese. Apparently, I look like a Malay from far, mixed from moderate distance, and a Chinese from up-close. Interesting.

PHOTOS.

The shoes I wore. Yes, they were brand new and hurt like hell. I wasted two of my skull band-aids. Fishcake.

On the train to Lakeside.

On the 98 bus.

Walking to Radhiah's house.

AT Radhiah's house.

Rab & Yap Sheng

Rab & Affy

Yeah, that's about it.

N'S ARE OVER.

2009-10-09T10:31:00.002+08:00

OMG, THE TITLE FEELS MAGICAL.

I'M SO BLOODY HAPPY I SHALL TYPE IN CAPS FOR THE WHOLE OF THIS ENTRY. LUCKY YOU!(?)

I was kidding.

Anyway. F&N was pretty okay. Not too hard, not so easy. Just in-between. Was stuck at some parts for a time, but finished just about everything, and slept for half an hour after I finished the paper.

Can't wait for tomorrow, when we're gonna go visiting each other's houses (I can't remember the term. Dammit).

I have just torn off the posters I stuck over my keyboard and my monitor, the posters reminding me to study. I shall burn them later.

I still cannot believe the fact that I have finished, REALLY REALLY finished, all my exams. I don't have to go to school anymore for the REST of this year. I can BURN my uniform if I wanted to!

In theory.

Here are my aims now that I'm unshackled:

1) Get a job, preferably with Elfira.

2) Play more sports!

3) Go out AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE.

4) Play to hell.

5) Play.

6) Slack.

7) Buy more books/clothes/gadgets/band patches.

8) Did I mention play to hell?

To the rest of the foo- er, people - who're still studying, I wish y'all the very, very best. :D

Studying with Lezzy.

2009-10-01T20:43:00.004+08:00

Okay okay, I'll update.

I'm sick. With fever. Temperature's 38.5.

How could this HAPPEN to me???!?!? N's are next week, and I can't afford to get sick! Well, never mind, I'm gonna go to school and take all my N's even if it kills me.

Started feeling sick last night, but chalked it up to the haze. When I woke up, I was fine. When I got to school, started feeling slightly dizzy. Took my temperature, 38.4. Elfira and Hafeezzah panicked and asked me if I wanted to go home. I said no.

Went to flag-raising. Farah told Mrs Low that I had a fever. As I got up and left everyone in class waved and shouted goodbye. LOL.

Was sent home, ate a piece of bread, took a panadol, went to sleep. Woke up, went to sleep again, woke up, used Skype, slept, woke up, slept, woke up, took my clothes and went to shower.

Now that the bad's out of the way...

Lezzy's just gotten a new phone - the N97 (SORRY LARH). So she took loads of photos of me on both the days we went out to study.

I don't look cute, I look like a DOOF!

Lezzy, on the other hand, is positively adorable.

I like this one, I look like I'm wearing eye makeup.

BLUR. In more ways than one.

My phone.

LE-YI, I hate you.

Can't wait for the Crash Love album!

Jade put up a competition on his blog, asking readers to put up what they perceive to be the song's chorus lyrics. The REAL lyrics are not out yet.

In the comments:

Just give me something
Cut the teeth out! (Run Smith!)
Bring it to woah!-This part is wack, Davey speaks in strang ways-
When death breaks through we die alone.

- LadyJinx_DF

Just give me something
Haunt the Jesus
Brings us to

That mine is special
Haunts the Jesus
Carrying us to
Get the blood out
That's the quick way until we die alone.

- Kylie

"Just give me something
CUT THE TEES OUT
Bring it to our
GET THE BLOOD OUT
Private inspection oh
CUT THE TEES OUT
Bring it to our
GET THE BLOOD OUT
Desecrate 'til we die alone"

Obviously, it's about you guys making T-shirts and Davey inspecting them for quality control purposes. One of you guys must have cut yourself and stained a few. I hear club soda is good for getting blood out.

- jAtFhIm

Just give me something![Cut the cheese out!]
Bring it to Earl![Catch the blood hound!]

Rawroar.

2009-09-24T19:41:00.003+08:00

He's right!

Ohhhhh man. I hate studying. I hate Math. I hate studying Math. Two freakin' hours of Math a day is pure, utter, TORTURE.

Life's been smooth, other than that little detail. Have developed a newfound hate-love relationship with Skype and internet, gotten new clothes, found a way to keep awake during Math class, and am looking forward to the 10th of October.

When I will be free. FWEEEEEEEEEEE. Until next year!

Circled dates:

30th October - Boo's birthday.

31st October - HALLOWEEN!

10th November - Concert at RP.

14th of November - School graduation lunch. Sounds like a BIG whoopee.

16th December - Hafeezzah's birthday, HEARRTS prom.

God, can't WAIT.

The world was on fire and no one can save me but you.

Strange what desire can make foolish people do.

To H.E.A.R.R.S: Have a great weekend, guys! E & A, puhlease don't forget. :D

You know, I never realized I was stressed out about my studies until I accidentally broke a pencil in half while tapping it on the desk when working on a Chemistry problem. Gawd.

Visit this: YourSceneSucks. Crabcore and Indie Jesus are classics. Basically it's a site that sells awesome tees and puts up/makes fun of any scene-related stereotypes, complete with a sketch, music tastes and a profile.

I put my GH stickers to good use.

Yee Seng, being an idiot, as usual, in two parts:

Part 1: Playing with Fhazilah's Domo-kun pencilbox (that's out of the picture)

Part 2: Borrowing my headband to wear to conceal his fringe.

Neezham is DISGUSTING.

Told you I'd give you a picture. ;)

Irsyad wrote this on the whiteboard. God knows why.

Class photos!!!

School timetable's a total whack, nobody knows what lesson's gonna be next. Played floorball again on Thursday, 'cause we got assigned another PE lseson. Haze was terrible, ph was 64. 64!!! Got a new PE teacher too, Aaron something. Cute-ish from afar. As usual, floorball was havoc. Score was 4-4, after a lot of cursing/swearing/traitors switching teams/whacking people's legs/kicking the ball/picking up the ball and running/throwing sticks to stop the ball. In 4D's floorball, no actual floorball is played, just (as I mentioned before) a nice combination of soccer/football/badminton/golf.

Our class has also got a great reaction towards bees.

Both yesterday and today, a bee flew into our class (who knows, could be the same bugger). Sophia started screaming, and ran out of the class, followed swiftly by the group of guys (YES, GUYS) sitting around her. Kevin ran to the back of the class, and stood behind me, asking, "Is it gone? Is it gone?!"

The bee flew around, poor thing, and the rest of the boys that weren't outside cowering grabbed their spray waterbottles, broomsticks, rolled-up Teenage magazines (much to the protest of the girls) and chased after the bee, driving it to:

The corner behind the teacher's table.

ROFL.

The bee flew around for a bit more, causing the rest of the girls to scream and run and hide; then perhaps wanting to recover from it's busted eardrums and wet wings, it flew out of the classroom.

God, what a hullabaloo. It's just a bloody BEE.

High Score & Points Today: 666.

Thank god I don't have Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.

RIGHT GUYS?!

I WANT A KEBAYA.

Why I'm weird.

2009-09-15T21:53:00.003+08:00

1. I adore rock/metal music.

2. I lie about my favorite color to almost everybody. No, really.

3. I adore horror books.

4. Ditto games.

5. Ditto movies, and gore.

6. Men who are at least 4 years older and have loads of tattys and piercings greatly appeal to me.

7. To different people, I fit different stereotypes -a geek, a loner, a prep, a goth, etc. etc.

8. The band name "Audioslave" sounds cool to me, not weird.

9. Nobody really knows who I am. No really, they don't. You think you do, but you'd be kidding yourself.

10. I fancy girls. Certain girls. THERE I'VE SAID IT.

11. I don't know if I'm kidding about 10.

12. Unnatural = beautiful. Eg. plastic surgery, dyed hair, contact lenses.

13. When I'm bored, I write poems/stories/song lyrics.

14. You don't think 13's odd? Guess what. Poems are about pain and disenchantment. Stories all end with death. Song lyrics have dark, underlying meanings.

15. I've got tiny hands and feet. This sucks, 'cause I can't hold onto things properly, and most shoes don't fit me. I've got four or five pairs of shoes I either bought from a children's shop recently, or when I was young. They still fit.

16. My personality for the day ahead depends ENTIRELY on my mood.

17. I have a habit of flapping book pages, often ripping the pages or crumpling them horribly.

18. For fact 17, the only exceptions to this rule are my horror books e.g. Clive Barker's Mr B. Gone and The Living Dead.

19. I'm stuck. Any more?

Be Yourself - Audioslave

2009-09-14T21:54:00.002+08:00

Audioslave - what you get when you mix Chris Cornell and Tom Morello - an awwwwwwwesome band.

Yeah, I know, I don't really post up full song lyrics, but this one's worth it, believe me.

Someone falls to pieces, sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the distance, she finally drifts away.

Someone gets excited in a chapel yard, catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen white roses on a grave.

And to be yourself is all that you can do
Yeah, to be yourself is all that you can do...

Someone finds salvation in everyone, another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself, down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united, healthy or insane

And to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do...

Even when you've paid enough, been pulled apart or been held up
With every single memory of the good and bad, faces of luck
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose...

But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do.

Be yourself is all that you can, be yourself is all that you can do.

Stay true.

Random tosh.

Because I'm bored as shit, here's the monthly dose of random stuff:

Poor Taylor.

But when Beyonce won her award for Best Music Video, she invited Taylor up on stage to make up for Kanye's bitch-fit. Great move, Beyonce. This is why we all love you.

Played (incredibly dirty) floorball today. I don't mean DIRTY, I mean dirty.

To put it another way. What WE played shouldn't be called floorball, 'cause it was a mixture of golf/badminton/soccer. We lost 0-1. Their goal was blocked by four.

Because THIS deserves a huge screen.

Controversy over Kurt Cobain being in GH5. People are arguing over whether it's honoring or making fun of Kurt by putting him in a "stupid game for losers who can't play real guitar". Really, go click on the vid and check out the comments for yourself.

I'm a fan of both Nirvana AND GH5, so I'm gonna say that I believe this is meant to immortalize Kurt.

Other controversy: Courtney Love claims Activision has "ruined" Kurt Cobain's image and she holds firm to her claim that she never allowed Activision to license Kurt's name and character. Activision says that they DID ask the lady, and she signed the agreement. Hmm.

Poor Kurt.

Current favorite.

Most people seem to like my new hair. If I ever bother to put up a photo, you can decide for yourself.

I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind.

Went out with Elfira yesterday for shopping. Bought an ankle band, earrings and a Linkin Park band patch. Went to Lido, was about to get tickets, then got a call from Yoga asking us if we wanted to catch a movie. Phew. Headed to Jurong Point, met up with them, tried to get into a screening for Beth Cooper, failed, got tickets for Aliens in the Attic. Which was hilarious when Ricky was controlled, but not much else. Went to the arcade after the show, played Silent Hill and HOTD4. Guns sucked. Met with Dad and Boo for dinner.

Today, turned on my phone to find that the damned 4 key was stuck - the screen kept displaying the number 4 even though I didn't press it, and when I DID press 4, the key was jammed. Fishcake. Went to a shop to get it fixed, got fleeced (FIFTY FUCKEN BIGS?! YOU'RE SHITTING ME), went home, then went out for a haircut. Relax, it's not short - not THAT short. Just had it layered. Now my fringe keeps poking into my right eye. Dammit.

Tried out GH5, which is seriously AWESOME, way betttttttttttttttttter than GH:M or GH:3 or GH:WT or GH:SH. Get it. NOW.

Her "hello"s are great.

Holidays!

2009-09-10T11:27:00.003+08:00

Alllllllright. So, N's (Part 1) has officially ENDED.

I'm now free to enjoy the remainder of my holidays.

YEAH RIGHT.

Well. I have to say, the N's were surprisingly easy. Maybe not QUITE that easy, but really, I can't figure why I was so panicky about them before. All that worrying for nothing. Pfft.

English papers - walkover. Chinese papers - a pass(?). SS - A 3, I hope.

GH5 is MINE.

THANKS DAD.

Man, I am DYING to get out. Of home. Anybody?

Chinese remedial stuff.

2009-09-05T19:44:00.002+08:00

Went to school this morning for Chinese remedial.

Irsyad met us and sat with us, saying he had Malay remedial. His teacher never came, so he disturbed us throughout the lesson.

Yuen How.

Sheryl with her arm draped around Irsyad. (He must've been very happy.)

The miniature terror himself.

More shots.

Bang bang.

Remedial class sucked.

Yee Seng the batty batter.

His cap.

H.E.A.R.R.T

Again, with Chigu Sapii.

Sequence shots! Theme: A Resolved Conflict.

We were trying at first to point middle fingers at each other, but neither of us could stop laughing. I tried to do a WTF-IS-IT-YOU-WANT?! pose, but my smile ruined the effect.

Iqah intervening. I buried my face in my hands so that you couldn't see I was laughing.

There.

Me, Rab and Iqah.

And a viddy.
