::wow!::

I cannot actually believe that I went out before going overseas tomorrow. In the past, I would be too happy about going that I cannot go anywhere the day before except stay at home and check out the luggage. Perhaps it's only Genting I am going. And besides, I went to Escape and Wild Wild Wet today, so I don't really feel like going Genting anymore. [I can't imagine my father's reaction if he sees this. I was the one who suggested the idea of going to Genting after all. But that was only because I could not go to Switzerland this year.] We first went to the water theme park. We were floating on that fake river for so long, I think the lifeguards actually recognise us. Anyway, that got us really tanned. And we were shouting for each other because we tend to drift away. And we would be in funny positions that nobody else would be in. Anyway, I just wonder if people understand what I am trying to say. Is my pronounciation really that bad?? I personally have no idea. But I didn't do really bad for my english oral exams in the past, did I? Ok, so we were trying to get our refunds [for the rental of the floats] back from this counter. And there was this guy attending that counter. Anyway, the first reply he gave to me already pissed me off. And I believe he cannot express himself very well either. There was some serious communication breakdown that made me want to start to grumble and complain. Well, forgive and forget. Went to get our refunds [for the money stored in this Funkey card] after bathing and changing and everything. I queued and asked 2 persons before actually found the place to get the refunds. And I think people cannot give directions as well as me [blah blah.. that's just me]. None of them told me exactly how to get to the 'Information Counter at the Main Lobby'. I was like, I did not remember a lobby so could you be more specific? Anyway, I still found my way there and got the money. And we went to Escape after that. Wow! We played and played until we were so damn tired. And I actually got sick of the Pirate Ship.

::panjandrum::

Read the article below.
---------------------------------------------------
Panjandrum was coined by Samuel Foote (1720-1777) in a piece of nonsense writing:

So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage-leaf to make an apple-pie; and at the same time a great she-bear, coming up the street, pops its head into the shop. "What! No soap?" So he died, and she very imprudently married the barber: and there were present the Picninnies, and the Joblillies, and the Garyulies, and the grand Panjandrum himself, with the little round button at top, and they all fell to playing the game of catch-as-catch-can till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.

It was composed on the spot to challenge actor Charles Macklin's claim that he could memorize anything. Macklin is said to have refused to repeat a word of it.
---------------------------------------------------
Found this at dictionary.com. This is what I call a great writer. Somehow I find it quite funny.

::so much to say::

Today's a really long day. To begin with, I spent the whole morning thinking about the story kyl asked me to write, and I only managed to write until half of Chapter 2. And it is really really short. It's the first time I am actually writing something like that. Anyway, I have CO after lunch. It wasn't so bad today because the conductor did not scold me. But he did say that there's one part that everything I played was wrong. I acknowledged that. And that was about all. Today a lot of Secondary 4 students came to join us in the training. I think there are 4 students joining our section. They are really good, and I feel kind of ashamed. But I think they are quite okay people. There's this girl that I just got to know today. She reminds me of one of my better friends in MJ. Nice person. At least she would help me with certain parts that I am unsure of. And there was Percussion sectionals after the orchestra training was over. The instructor was half an hour late!! We thought he had forgotten about it or something because he usually comes early. Anyway, learnt quite a lot of theory today. Quite interesting. Actually I think I learnt quite a lot. But the thing is that the instructor speaks only Chinese so I find it quite hard to communicate with him. After all, I am not very familiar with the Chinese terms for certain musical terms. I can't even remember how to say 1/4 and 3/4 in Chinese. I am such a disgrace. Anyway, there's this Chinese idiom that he said. I can't really remember what it is, but at least I can confirm that my Chinese really sucks. 巧妇--,-米--。 天啊!我真的记不起来了!Anyway, the teacher is quite nice. At least he helped me with this sicko part that I just cannot grasp. And now I think I am quite okay with it already. But I need to practise more. Practise! Practic[s?]e! Well, the whole thing ended quite late. My friend and I went to the toilet and before we went, our other friend, this guy was asking us whether that toilet's light ever turn offs. Well, I don't know, but anyway, there's this sensor inside that will light up the entire place after you enter. When we are done in the toilet, we started talking about the lights in school that are left on at night. Well, I was kind of spooked, but I can't always scare myself. We were walking towards the school gate and the uncle who locks the gate at 7pm was beckoning to us. We ran of course. When we walked pass him, he asked us if there's anyone left inside. And we said no. We walked a few steps away and my friend started talking about the motorcycle he saw inside. Well, that person will have to climb out just like my friend did when she and her CCA mates were locked inside. And there were cuts all over her leg. Bad idea, bad. But I am amused by the fact that we were actually the last to leave school! [Yeah, I know you are saying what's the deal about that].

::drums::

Today I received kyl's message asking me to write a short story between 3- 5 chapters. Was wondering why she asked me to do it. Anyway, I wrote one chapter already. But the more I look at it, the more problematic it appeared. Well, besides the whole chuck of tense errors, there is still the err.. problem. And I can't continue anymore because I have no more inspiration.

::check this out!::

Britney Spears spelling correction

Click the link above. It's quite cool.

::mirage::

Was just blog hopping [you know, was looking out for Singaporean blogs and see how people write] and I saw someone complaining about how irritating it is when she hears people say the words 'lesser' and 'worser' and how she thinks they don't exist in the dictionary. I, being the curious soul who has got nothing better to do [or perhaps I am just trying to prove people wrong] immediately surfed to Google and typed in the words. And yes, I got a definition for 'lesser' [meaning the word exists].
----------------------------------------------------------
less·er
(lsr)adj. A comparative of little.
Smaller in amount, value, or importance, especially in a comparison between two things: chose the lesser evil.
Of a smaller size than other, similar forms: the lesser anteater. adv. A comparative of little.
Less. Used before a participle: a lesser-known writer.
----------------------------------------------------------
Personally, I don't think 'worser' exists, but I was proven wrong.
----------------------------------------------------------
worser
\Wors"er\, a. Worse. [R.]
Thou dost deserve a worser end. --Beau. & Fl.
From worser thoughts which make me do amiss. --Bunyan.
A dreadful quiet felt, and, worser far Than arms, a sullen interval of war. --Dryden.
Note: This old and redundant form of the comparative occurs occasionally in the best authors, although commonly accounted a vulgarism. It has, at least, the analogy of lesser to sanction its issue.
``The experience of man's worser nature, which intercourse with ill-chosen associates, by choice or circumstance, peculiarly teaches.'' --Hallam.
----------------------------------------------------------
And I read in somewhere that if you wear girdles, you can actually have a slimmer waistline. How can that actually be true? Wouldn't your waist 'expand' back to it's original size after the girdle is taken off? Tried to google some answers but couldn't find any. Was watching Orange Days [a Japanese drama] with my sister just now and I noticed that old people are actually very cute. [Hmm?] Somehow they look like toddlers to me. Like they have gotten their innocence back or something. But then again, not all elderly look cute and cuddly or whatever. It must be the show.

::listen for yourselves::

You can find Everytime by Britney Spears in her official site. Click on the Jukebox like picture and another window will open. Scroll down to find Everytime. I think it is the second last song. But the quality of the file is quite poor.

S.H.E - 别说对不起



Click on the above to listen. There may be some problems because I am not a professional in these type of things. And the volume bar is missing because my sister made it this way.

::another something::

Today I did another button! Trying to experiment with Flash as much as possible before the trial period ends. Below is the thumbnail of how it looks like.

The effects cannot be seen here. Click here for the effects. It's once again magnified a 1000 times. I wonder why. Anyway this morning my sister asked my to listen to one particular song. I was quite surprised when she played it because the music was that of Britney Spears's Everytime. I was wondering how did she learn of that song. A few seconds later, someone was singing in Chinese instead of English. What the??? So it was S.H.E. They made a cover of that song. That was rather fast. It was merely released last year and this year they already did the cover. But it isn't bad. Will try to find the links to the 2 clips so you can hear it.

Saturday, November 20, 2004
::something extra::

Finally I did something out from Flash. Simple as it may seem, it took me more than half an hour to get everything right. Ok, I admit I am a beginner. [Never done such thing before] I am trying out the html code and everything here, so there may be errors and the thing may not show. Anyways: I can't publish it after much attempts!!! Argh. Maybe if you click here you might be able to see it? Bleah. I give up. The image looks magnified a 1000 times.

::why?!::

My goodness!! Why is it Olinda? Why not Slyvester? Damn. All those that I voted for are now out of the show.

::pictures galore::

I was out the whole day yesterday. In the morning I went out with Kyl to visit the polytechnics. We were supposed to visit 2 of them, but the journey was long and tiring, causing us to visit only one. Now I am kind of sick of taking the North-South Line. I think we really went around the entire island yesterday. We met up with M.Saint later to watch The Incredibles. And I finally bought Spiderman 2 DVD!!! WAHAHAHA! It costs $29.90. I thought it was a bargain actually. Anyway, the show was really nice. I liked the action and finally a show with a decent storyline. At least it didn't get me wondering in the middle of the show why is it so boring and why am I doing here, laughing at some jokes but left hanging because the movie had no plot. Can't wait for the VCD to be released! But where are pictures mentioned in the title? I am just to lazy to upload it into the computer.

::go read!::

Go to this site and read the article on 16/11/04. Really, really hilarious.. and informative. My blog is like a pile of crap compared to his.

::bells::

So I went to CO today. It was rather terrible. I think I did not perform very well. And there is another practise on Friday!! I hate to go for it. And the timing is so weird. 1630 to 1900. The school gate is already closed by then I guess. Anyway, I was so intrigued by the music created by the bells today that I have the urge to get a set for myself. Now the bells I am refering to here is not the typical "jingly bells" type. And I am not trying to get into the festive mood either. It is a smaller version of the xylophone. And my sister says it creates a nicer sound. Anyway, my friend was playing the Harry Potter Symphonic Suite on it. And it sounded so damn nice!!! Just like the real thing!! And I was just wondering how much is it going to cost me. Checked the prices at ebay and Yahoo! Auctions just now. Fairly cheap. The prices range from S$10 to S$90. But then again, these are second hand goods and therefore sold at a much lower price. So I was just wondering [again] how much is the actual price. Checked out Yamaha's online shop but apparently they don't sell bells. And I think I am fairly hardworking today. I actually spent more one hour practising for CO. There's Math lesson tomorrow but I don't think I am going. Have not even finished the holiday homework. The teacher expects us to hand it in tomorrow!! Like HELLO??? There are so many pages and questions!! Actually, poorer students like us are supposed to finish it in the holidays. But the due date isn't this early. She is trying to kill us. Anyway, I do not see the point in going tomorrow since I have nothing done. Will she kill me? No? Feel like going shopping tomorrow for the bells. But my sister says that Yamaha sells at exorbitant prices and yeah, I don't exactly have that much money to spend. Oh well. Anyway, see my hit counter!! WAHAHAHA!! Finally over a 1000 without much promotion. I think only less than 10 people know of this blog. Meaning that there are other visitors that I don't know as well! Now that's kind of cool isn't it??

::flowers::

Ok, so I have once again changed my skin. This one is near flawless, or should I say flawless? I can't find any problems with the skin [till now] and finally I can see my title. It's at the bottom of every single post. See?? And I did not create that background. Almost everything is taken as it is.

::tranquility::

Changed my skin! Some errors as usual. Didn't change anything at all, except some information stuff. But I am sure the error can be noticed when you scroll to the right of the page. Otherwise I think the person who did it did a good job. And don't ask me what happened to Cloud.

::sheer romance::

Now that was just the name of the nail polish. Went to Orchard Road with my family just now to look at the Christmas light-up. I still think it looks awful. There were a lot of people though. And there's this Buskers' Festival going on as well. Takashimaya has this Angel lighting everywhere. Bright yellow with a red trumphet. My mom thought they were bees. My sister thought they looked like ants. And my sister said that was the product of being imaginative. What would happen if everyone thought they were bees? In Christmas? Imagine bees celebrating Christmas. Now that's something new. I am not saying bees don't celebrate Christmas. They might [we never know] but when did bees ever become Christmas icons? Anyway, I have some things off my wishlist already. I got my Westlife - Allow Us to be Frank album and The Sims 2 Strategy Guild. And I just found out that there is an Asian edition of The Urbz! Meaning my NTSC-J PS2 is able to read the disc! So now I am most likely going to get it! An updated version of my wishlist:

1. Greatest Hits: My Prerogative CD & DVD - Britney Spears
2. In the Zone - Britney Spears
3. For someone in my family to get the new generation iPod
4. A decent tooth brush holder
5. The Urbz + memory card
6. Pass my 'A' Levels next year with more than just flying colours
7. Spiderman 2 DVD

Now you may notice that some wishes are not yet fulfilled but striked off the list. Well, I am no longer interested in new clothes. And besides, I think I will always want new clothes. [Contradiction?] So, that is not considered a wish anyway. And I actually bought the wrong In the Zone album. You see, there is this 'new' version of the album that consists of videos and other miscellaneous stuff but not the songs. I knew when I saw that album for the first few times that it didn't contain the songs, but on Saturday somehow, I managed to convince myself that all the songs in the album is there. Now how stupid can I get? I should have just asked the sales person. But she doesn't look friendly. And I was somehow attracted to the cheaper price. So that's 20 bucks wasted. Thankfully I don't hate Britney like I detest Jolin Tsai or I might just smash the album. It seems to me that I am easily tired out nowadays. I take afternoon naps almost everyday now. Is that a sign of aging?

::butter + honey::

Today I went for my class barbeque. I must say that it is definitely better than the CO barbeque the last time. At least I didn't feel all freaked out and stuff like that. It was fun and I actually managed to eat quite a lot of food and didn't really feel left out. I am beginning to change my perspective on being alone. The worse thing was that it had to rain when we were there. Everything was wet and dirty and sandy. But the guys and some girls managed to get the fire going. [By the time they started the fire, the rain had already stopped.] I would not be a good help in starting the fire, so I decided to help them with the food instead. You know, poking the sausages and crabsticks into the kebab sticks and stuff like that. And I was really surprised by the massive size of the ants. Really really huge. One of them got onto my shirt but my friend managed to get it off for me. But I was screaming like crazy. I think I really should kick that bad habit. And I did try to help out with barbequing the food. And Zapple with Ice Cream Soda tastes rather nice. There was too much chicken wings as usual. And the fire was really weak after a long time of cooking. The guys had to try their best to keep the fire going. At first the fire was nice and strong, but it weakened. We really barbequed for a long time this time. Some of them played truth or dare too. They got this girl to ask a guy whom she don't know for the number. You will be surprised who she was. And they also got this guy to kiss another guy. But in the end they got him to kiss this girl instead. But he pretended to be kissing and the others captured that on film. I didn't play with them. Was cooking the chicken wings. I was applying margarine and honey on them profusely. My friend told me to do it. But in the end he said my cooking sucked. And I spoilt the carrier where I contained my mat. The entire thing is in shambles now. I believe some of them are still at ECP now. Didn't want to stay out with them. I haven't got money anyway. And I did not manage to get my Westlife album today. Perhaps tomorrow... no no.. today. And we were listening to Singapore Idol on Perfect 10 98.7FM. It was the live telecast. And I think almost the whole class wanted Daphne out. When Slyvester was announced safe, I felt happy and relieved. And my friend just told me today that Olinda would be coming to our Prom this Sunday. But pity I am not going for it. I think the whole turnout would be small because the entire Year One cohort don't seem to be really interested in this year's Prom and the fact that it is going to be held in Fort Canning Park Country Club. Quite saddening. And now when I see the King of All Four Letter Words, I am reminded of fcuk but not vice versa. Why is this so?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, I want to allocate this section to my dear friend M.Saint. There's some problem with your tagboard so I cannot post there, so I decided to write it here instead. Hopefully you can see it [I mean, come to my blog and managed to see it]. What happened on Wednesday that made you so upset? Try not to keep thinking on those bad incidents, ok?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
And also, I must say that that guy from Shinhwa don't look like Cloud. Never. No way! Kyl my dear, why do you think that they look alike? I must disagree with you. Hahahahahahahahahaha!
------------------------------------------------------------------
Went to my classmate's blog just now and saw the part on the review on his results. When I saw it, many many bad memories flooded my mind. I was on the verge of smashing my computer. I think I truly am such a big fat disgrace to the class and school and myself. What kind of crap am I scoring? Why is it like that? Did I really make the wrong choice? Felt so sick of myself. Why is it that I kept procrastinating and in the end. Well, got my just desserts. I was reminded of Geography during my Secondary school days. My usual tests and exams when I scored so well and then.. Prelims. I got back those crap results. Even though I am not taking it anymore, I just can't help but feel a sense of great loss when I think of it. Maybe I really should get tuition for all my subjects.

::shadows of a man::

My gwad!! I think I really am very outdated. I just realised today that Westlife had just released their new album!!! Now what is it called? Allow us to be Frank! What a name for an album. Now they are trying out jazz. Quite cool. Just heard a preview of the song on their site. Perhaps I will get it tomorrow or Saturday. And then there's Britney Spears album.. her greatest hits. It was released on September!!!! Oh my goodness!!!! Why didn't I see it in stores??? And I still have not gotten her In the Zone yet. So to remind myself, let me write down my wishlist.

1. Allow us to be Frank - Westlife
2. Greatest Hits: My Prerogative CD & DVD - Britney Spears
3. In the Zone - Britney Spears
4. For someone in my family to get the new generation iPod
5. A decent tooth brush holder
6. New clothes. [The mango tee in particular]
7. The Sims 2 Strategy Guild

What else? I still want to modify my PS2. And I may want to get The Urbz, Sims in the City. I only know it's on console [PS2, XBOX and Nintendo GameCube] and handheld [GBA] but it's not on PC from what I gather. I don't think I can play if it's on PS2. Cos my PS2 is NTSCJ!!! ARGH!!!!! I want to modify it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I should never have gotten it from Sony [as in in the Sony shop]. Anyway, there was Singapore Idol today was usual. I think almost all the performances were terrible, except for Olinda's 2nd song. I can't remember the title already. I only know it was done by Coco Lee. My mom [and I] thought that Olinda's rendition of Teresa Teng's song was absolutely terrible. She can't do mandrain songs. It will just kill her. She [mom] even claimed that she could sing better. And she totally disagreed with what the judges said about making all the uncles and aunties happy because she wasn't one of them. And my sister added that making them happy would not make any difference since they wouldn't bother to vote for you. And Daphne was really bad this time. She really can't do chinese songs. My sister was absolutely disgusted. She said Daphne did so badly that she wanted to throw shit at her face. AWWWWW. [Luckily my taggie was gone long ago]. And seriously, what do people see in Slyvester anyway? He can't really sing and isn't really that cute. And the judges. I think they really ran him down. Taufik is okay though. We were guessing the words or sounds he was going to 'make' during the song. Except my sister just thought he lacked the X-Factor for an idol. But Olinda is still the best. I kind of hope that she would win. My sister said she could see the look of fear all over her face during her performance just now. Not stage fright [how can it be?] but fear that she will get kicked out tomorrow. And looking back at last week..... Am I being too mean here? I don't think so. It's just my own opinion and other people's opinions and I am just writing it down. That's the purpose of this place. To note down my thoughts and feelings. But nowadays it seems to me that expressing yourself is getting really difficult. Telling your innermost feelings to others scares them away. And is America really going to totally do away with gay marraiges?? I was reading Newsweek yesterday and came across one such article. People say they can accept such marraiges/unions. But is that really true? If your friend invites you to his/her gay wedding, how will you react? Will you really just accept without a single thought that it is not possible? I mean, you might accept it, but what is your initial reaction to it? For the happiness of your friend, you will give them your blessings.. but. I was doing this project for almost half a year, but I still don't know if I find such behaviour acceptable. I mean, I managed to convince myself that they are just like you and me, normal people. But deep down inside. It's not that way. I hope I don't sound like a homophobe. Because I don't think I am one. How should I put it. It's a complicated feeling. I accept, but I cannot totally accept. That's not only true for this issue. Many other issues as well. I mean, it is really hard to accept something wholeheartedly. I wonder how many people can accept each other/thing/issue wholeheartedly. Even when one has given up, resigned to fate, I think somewhere inside, he still wants to try again. Is that not true? How extreme can one get? There can't be an exact yes or no for everything. Is there?

::fcuk::

fcuk. I was just browsing their website yesterday. They have this section in their site that illustrates their advertising history/techinque. Go take a look if you have time. It don't quite suit a clothes brand. But heck, who cares anyway. Finally yesterday I found back my urge to play Sims 2. I was at it the whole night! Now my family has become smaller. I got some of them to move out. The whole house was driving me mad. So now they live a few streets away from each other. I want to try creating a story for my family. Was reading one of them at The Sims 2 Exchange yesterday night. Actually I was pretty freaked out because it was about ghosts and vampires and whatnot and it was midnight when I was reading it. [I have always been a scardy cat.] But it was nice. Not the most original stories, but nicely written. There's another one I read long ago on Sims Exchange. Now that one was really good. I wonder if I can be as good as them. But it's kind of hard to cook up one decent story. Even the one I wrote long ago now have no ending and is left hanging. And I finish watching 2046 yesterday morning. Surprisingly, I found it nicer than Princess Dairies 2. Nowadays my taste for movies have greatly increased. But I hate it when I have to admit that a movie sucks. I actually paid to watch it. Now, I am not saying that PD2 sucks. It was just a casual comment about my feelings.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Everything seem to be stuck in one hole and cannot break out of it. They claim to be something really great and different, but it turns out to be the same, which makes the whole thing kind of boring.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe nowadays I am thinking more. Maybe not. Well, I was away in school for Chinese Orchestra in the afternoon. And I got scolded again, as usual. I was playing the simplest thing already!! Can you imagine it? The notes I played are all on-beat but I still got it wrong. The conductor was totally frustrated. "Yours is the easiest and you still get it wrong???!!!" Well, do you think I actually like to make mistakes? Maybe getting scolded is good if you want to improve. Just in case you are curious about the instrument I am playing, it's just the triangle. But then again, never underestimate such instruments. They look easy but they are as tough as it can get. You can never imagine if you are not in our shoes. So don't mock at people who play instruments that look abosolutely dumb and easy. Because in actual fact, it is NOT. I hate it when people underestimate. But I am glad to know that there is no CO tomorrow.

::shopping therapy II::

Just reached home at 9+. Went for tuition as usual. This time after tuition we went to shop around [as we always do], but this time, I bought some stuff! Walk and walk and walk in and out of so many shops. Finally found something I like. But it took a long time for me to decide. Anyway it was quite fun getting M.Saint to try on clothes. Haha. My sister told me that 2046's VCD is out. Wow. That was fast. She told me that it was NC-16. Really. It don't look like a show that should be rated that. But she had expressed her interest in it. Ok. So where's the money?

::brand new day::

Notice some changes in my blog?? I changed Cloud's picture! Anyway I think this one is cooler and more charismatic looking. Did I say he is my latest idol? And I decided to do away with archiving the blog versions. [If you ever notice, I actually archive the versions of my blog and you can click on them to see how the previous ones looked like.] It's really troublesome now since that I change part of the skin almost everyday.

::no more chinese!::

Well well well. Today was one interesting, exciting day. I have a lot to say actually. Blogger actually gave up on me today. The server had some problems. Sya told me to write in Notepad first so I did. Anyway, I think I kind of screw up my Chinese AO level today. It was rather difficult. And you know my horrible chinese standard. I did not even attempt10 marks of the paper. Ah well. Prepared to retake the paper next year.But I guess I wouldn't have any heart to do it anymore. So it really depends. Just hope I get at least a B4 and I would truly be satisfied.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, I managed to get them to watch Princess Dairies 2 with me! Actually they wanted to watch Shark's Tale but because I told them that I watched it already, they [after some discussion] decided to watch PD2 instead. HAHA! We took the train to Orchard. And on the way, we managed to crap out quite a lot of stuff. We were talking about the trees at Somerset station. And the birds. Many of them. And there's the carpark under all the trees and birds and the danger of bird shit dropping onto your car. So we were asking why people still want to park their cars there. One of them said it was because it's cheaper and stuff. And the cheekiest of them all suggested drawing double yellow lines on the trees so the birds would not park on the trees. We were like laughing like hyenas. And someone added that if they were to disobey th 'rule', they would not be allowed to shit for one week. So, they said, if you see birds with big stomachs, you know why. And I was saying they could just blow up because they are so full of shit. Wow. Imagine whitish-yellow stuff flying all over the place! That's kind of gross.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I did something really stupid while watching the movie.The cinema was rather packed you see. With a lot of JC students. A lot I am telling you. So during the movie, there will always be some irritating girls giggling all the way. And there was this guy [adult] sitting in front of me. And he was rather pissed with the girls. So he said "Excuse me!". But I didn't catch his phrase properly.I thought he said something vulgar. And that pissed me off. And so I said: "What was that for?" Actually I didn't expect it to turn out that loud. I was only saying it for my friend who was sitting beside me. But it turned out that all 4 of them heard it. And the girl beside me was like :" Shsss!!! He is refering to the girls who are making a lot of noise!" And she started to giggle, so did another girl. But I did not understand why she told me that becauseI thought he said something else. Something I heard in my head. After the whole movie they were like laughing and saying "Aiyo! You not scared he come and strangle you ah?" and stuff like that. And that was when they told me the actual sentence he said. And I was like oops. Anyway, I saw my sister as well. She was sitting 2 rows down. Did not notice her at first when she came and left withher friends. I recognised the chubby guy and some other girls. I was thinking where's my sister.Thought it to be quite weird because they existed as a clique. Whatever. Anyway I saw her when I went down the escalator with my friends. Her friends gave me a funny look. Man. My friend said she looked quite "Ah lian". Don't know. Anyway I would kill her if she turned out to be one.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, I saw a lot of people I know today. Even met my primary school friend!I almost couldn't recognise her anymore! Took the train when I was going home.Now the thing is that my EZlink card had no more money. It did not cross my mind at that point of time. I tapped my card on the card reader and it flashed red. Didn't really care and just walk through the faregate. But it closed on me.I didn't really care, just OUCHED and walk away with my friend. But then I remembered that my card had no more money left. Oops. Was kind of embarrassed actually. Hope that the Station guy would not be those fierce type. Anyway,the guy was quite nice. At least he didn't scold me or anything. He just said that my card had no more money. So I went to get it topped up.
--------------------------------------------------------------
There was Singapore Idol today. The results. I was quite sad when Leandra was voted out. Tears found their way into my eyes. Actually I also didn't know why that would happen. I was not/never her greatest fan anyway. Maybe her music has touched me? That's a great deal you know. And I can't imagine what would happen if Olinda was voted out. I think she might just faint on the spot. Leandra seemed to take things more easily. Or at least that was how to appeared on the screen. Olinda looked like she was going to freak out soon. I mean, who wouldn't? But I support Oli, I actually VOTED for her you know???? So there are only 4 left. I would be sad to see whoever going next week. It's like a pity.

::baby food::

My gwad. Baby food totally sucks. I can't imagine that I am now eating it. It says on the can child's first food. Poor babies. They have to tolerate with such disgusting stuff. Yuck. And I actually went to look for a baby spoon to feed myself. I still have half a bowl left. Today my mouth feels really bad. It's seems to be getting more painful. I spent the longest time ever on my bowl of porridge. Braces are so troublesome. Now I feel like chucking my bowl of baby food. It's terrible.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
There's Chinese AO tomorrow and I still have not really studied for it. I don't even have any study materials at all. But I have finished all my cloze passage exercises and the few test papers that the teacher gave out before the holidays. She seem to vanish for the last week of school. God knows where she went. Anyway did I say that my OP examiner was my former Economics teacher?
------------------------------------------------------------------
Wonder if the girls will be going out tomorrow. I asked them last week and they said perhaps. I think it is most likely that they will go out. But the thing is they will be eating some tough food that I can't eat and I will be stuck with porridge again. Hopefully they will be catching a movie. Hopefully they have watched Shark's Tale already so I can encourage them to watch Princess Dairies instead. But the one movie that truly interests me now is actually Ladder 49. But I wonder when will I be able to watch it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, I went to Starbucks today to study with my friend. I didn't study for Chinese. Did my Chemistry homework instead. Then there was this mother and her 2 very young sons. I thought they were really cute and the mother was kind of pretty. And the younger child [a baby] was eating baby food. Gosh. Baby food! Now I am still struggling with it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
And my sister said that Vincent Valentine didn't look nice on my blog. How dare she!!!! Anyway, I have already changed the picture to Cloud instead. He looks really cool. And I think I am smitten with Cloud now. He is now above Batgirl, Robin and Spidy!

::braces::

Finally I got my braces done! It was quite an experience. But not that much pain as I imagine it to be. Just uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable when you are eating. I made the wrong choice to eat bread right after I got it done. The food got stuck on the metal wires and my tongue had a hard time removing it. Must I really eat congee for whole week? An I choose pink rubber for my braces! WAHAHA! Thought it would look nice.

::fickle::

Look at him!! LOOK AT HIM!!! WAHAHAHA! Got him to replace Ayumi. Now I think this is much better.

::a brand new look::

Ok, so this is my new skin! Yeah, I know it's Orlando Bloom, but I will change it. Not that I don't like him, but I don't really like a half naked guy posing in my blog you see. No more shout box, but who cares for it anyway? Archives are at the bottom of the page, the other stuff are in the "cookie box". I though that was kind of cool. No more self introduction and the like. There's no space for it. Anyway, who would come to my blog other that my 2 buddies and my sister???!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Well, anyway, Orlando's gone and Ayumi has come to replace him. Not a nice skin I would say, but I don't know. No inspiration. Perhaps changing the picture very soon. Somehow I think it does not suit the overall feel of the site.

::pain & agony::

That was mearly for the effect even though I am truly feeling very bad now. I want to go to some confession booth or something like that to get something off my chest. But seriously. Who is this world can I trust? Okay, so now I am getting skeptical and cynical. Anyway I thought the oral presentation today was fine, except the Question & Answer section. I think I kind of screwed it up.
She asked: " You mentioned SM Goh's statement about asking for the acceptance of homosexuals but not encouraging a gay lifestyle. Do you find that contradicting?"
I said [something like this]: " Well, the 'encouraging a gay lifestyle' means encouraging people to become gays which is quite different from acceptance of gays. So I don't think there is a contradiction. Besides, being gay is not a choice."
And she was like: "Are you sure?" In quite a sarcastic tone.
And I was like:" Yeah.. There is evidence that it has something to do with genes." And I crapped out [as in REALLY crapped out 3-4 more sentences that I think no one understood. DAMN!!
Anyway, the 2 examiners were not convinced by my little speech. And they were laughing to each other.
But I suppose getting a band 2 would not be too hard. Yeah, I have not posted anything for 3 days already. Nothing much really. Except I watched Shark's Tale on Saturday. It's really funny. Lots of wit and jest. Lenny was really cute. But the bad thing is that the plot is rather predictable. [Which makes it quite boring after a while.] But it was compensated by the jokes and music. So, I still think it's a good movie. Now I want to watch Ladder 49. Maybe next week. I am already broke for this week. Been spending money like water. There's going to be so many great shows coming up. I think my wallet is going to burst. And I just got the Shrek 2 vcd yesterday. It's really one of the nicest animation I have every watched! And there's something else after the so called hidden ending. So it is like a hidden ending in a hidden ending. Get it? It's kind of cool and one of a kind. I don't know how to describe it, but if you really want to know what I am talking about, you should get it.
Now let me make a list of movies I want to watch.
1. Polar Express
2. The Incredibles
3. Ladder 49
4. The Princess Dairies 2
What else? I can't remember anymore. Anyway I think today's my last day of having good food. Going to get my braces done tomorrow. It's going to hurt. And I saw 2 albino kids on Sunday. Felt very sad at the sight of them. [They are sisters to make things worst] They look like dolls, with the neatly combed mushroom style pale blonde hair and very very fair skin. So empty. It's not as though they are not bubbly, they are, but the thing is, I feel that they are trapped in that body that don't seem to reflect their personality. I don't know why, but I felt a great sense of pity for them. Perhaps it's due to The Da Vinci Code. Anyway, Project Work has come to an end. I should rejoice, but I just can't. Feel crushed and miserable.
Thank goodness for her.

Trying not to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)I could breakaway
.....
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway
