SPEAK

Tuesday, February 27, 2007

i'm reading this book. there's this character called lisa in it.

she works for this real snazzy glamourous magazine in new york. now she knows she's naturally a pretty attractive girl, but she puts pride in looking stunningly fabulous. she's forced too. her environment pressurizes her to. her close friends include her personal assistants, and her one persistant admirer since young, whom she detests and finds clingy. to look good, she gets up hours earlier to apply layer after layer of fake tan. to do her coats of nail and toe varnish. and also her supposedly natural-looking layers makeup in which she hides behind. she takes pride in being the sarcastic sharp bitch of the company, and refrains from having personal relationships with anyone in the office to prevent backstabbing. she makes sure she drinks 16 cups of water a day. and has been constantly hungry in the past ten years since she started working for the magazine 10 years ago. she has been hungry so often, it's now become negligible. she hasn't eaten white bread nor rice in the past 8 years. also, she doesn't allow herself indulgences. no chocolates, no wine, nothing sweet. not even when she's feeling upset. "no point piling up 1000 extra calories just because i feel lousy now, and still feel lousier about myself after that" she reasons with herself ever so often. she hasn't been able to have a decent conversationn with her parents in abt 15years. now so especially when she visits her, more than humble abode. she wears her jimmy choos and carries her prada and sprays her chanel, just so she has an armour. an armour of brands to stop her from "sinking" back into her "past life", her family and home. all these just so she has her high-paying job and glamourous life style. all these just so she can travel the world and buy things without looking at the pricetag nor batting an eyelid when she buys a handbag which cost an obscene 6figure sum. all these to get free designer makeup and shoe samples, even if the pretty size 4 shoes don't fit her size 5s. but pain is a small negligible factor she says.
she travels the world, gets free yves saint laurent and louis vuitton, wears jimmy choos, goes shopping as and when she feels like and can proud tell people she's the fashion director of Femme Magazine.
and mind you, she's not educated. didn't even bother completing highschool she.

strangely, i like her character.
and i have an unsually strong admiration for her.
she's strong and independent.
and something about her strikes me.
maybe, just maybe.
i don't even mind being her.


during chapel on monday, pastor wendy was telling us about this chinese movie she watched. this little girl, she was poor and her mother was dying. she stole a piece of cake/bread from this boy and ran and ran while her chased and chased. she ran to a river where there was a bridge and so she ran some more. then she fell and dropped the cake into the river. all of a sudden, rising from the water was the Goddess of Destiny, holding in her hands none other than that piece of cake/bread. and the Goddess gave her two choices:
1. leave teh cake and go home empty-handed to her dying mother,. but having a clear conscience.
2. tranforming her into a princess with all the riches int he world. but on the condition that all the people ard her that she loves, will die.
she chose riches.
and the whole congregation gasped.
i was still asking myself which i would choose.

julian asked me:
i said "i duno. but love isn't everything."
which is still, technically true.
love doesn't feed you does it?

and all along, i thought i was a true romantic.
inside?
really deep DEEP inside if so.
hahaha

mmhm.
all these incidents has made me truly ask myself if im a materialistic girl.
but i've realised, yes i am.
undeniably.
there, it was so hard admitting it.
i already feel a sense of release.
hah!

but yes, i am.
i want to be rich when i grow up.
i want to be able to shop whenever i want without batting an eyelid.
i want to buy mango, zara, topshop, esprit, miss sixty, fcuk, levis, coach, guess, chanel, jimmy choos all without feeling more than a lil pinch.
and i want to marry a rich husband.

painful but true.
so therefore, yes,
i am a material girl.
truly a material girl.

yay!we ate sooo much! but ah, din give two hoots abt calories since it was julian's last night here. and i LOVED the green tea brulee(sp?) and the pudding thing omg. so good. i had "passion" on my chocolate heart while lini and jase had "bliss" and julian had "cherish". mmhm. says something? hhaha. then we had a few rounds of emo talk and i almost teared. Almost. but i din. hah! promise. so after loads of chocolates, cakes, fondue, pudding, mousse, tea and dessert wine, we cabbed down to the airport. time to say our goodbyes. after pictures and cards, julian walked thru the glass gates and back to sydney.

again, rushed thru sch. rushed home and jase was there to help lini pack. after a short short nap, got ready for dinner at my grandparents' place. to celebrate cny and my grandad's bday. it was actually pretty, bad. i din enjoy myself at all. probably becos i'm not close to that side of the family or sth. strange that im closer to my relatives in m'sia even though they're so far away yes? but yea, saw my grandad. everytime i see my grandad, my heart wrenches. yes, he used to be so mean to us FEMALES in the family. bias and all. but now, whenever i see him contorted in bed unable to talk and move, i feel so bad for ever disliking him. but now, i make an effort to speak to him and tell him a love him cos i'm nv sure if i'd ever see him again the next time i go over. yea, sad stuff aside.
everybody tried to catch some sleep before lini's flight at 6am (had to get up at 4am) when we got home. that is, except me. haha. some very exciting things happened you see. i found some STUFF called _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ in a thumbdrive that my very decent-looking uncle gave me. owell. looks can be oh-so-deceiving. haha! but poor yewi, she was the most, traumatized. shaken. haha!
at 4am, everybody got up and hurriedly went to the airport. checked in and went to burgerking for breakfast. then, it was time for lini to go in. hugged and said our pieces. she left the best for last..ME!
hah.but yea, she too eventually walked thru the glass gates.

got up at 4pm my goodness. received sunflowers from a kind soul who was afraid that i'd be upset over lini's departure. i felt so, loved :D yea. bummed ard and did some work. i sooo do NOT get differentiation. haiya. then i received my new laptop! yea! fiddled ard with it alil. ok fine, alot. and am still on it now.


yea.
now that im done with the technicalities...

mmhm.
these few days has been pretty tough shite.
all the departures.
one more is due on the 7th march too.
mmhm.
im a veteran at this already though.
but i still do hate the airport.
hate those glass gates.
hate that hug.
hate that look.

mmhm.
and i miss my big sister already.

i miss not banging my foot on that ridiculously huge luggage bag that you refused to unpack on the floor.
i miss not being able to ask you abt school work.
i miss not waking up to you in the mornings/afternoons.
i miss not being able to nag at you to go bathe.
i miss not having someone to steal my wangwang and greentea.
i miss not having someone to call loser and retard.
i miss not having you return wayyy after your curfew.
i miss not having someone to malign when i cant find my top.
i miss not having a missing item from my wardrobe.
i miss not laughing 3/4 of the day.

i miss you big sister.
i miss you plenty.






mmhm.this blog's starting to look awfully wordy.
photo update soon.
promise.

i'm back.
and man, my chinese lunar new year was as wacko as my family can get.
and in this case would be, crazy wacko.
heh.
no hesitation.
angpows were negligible, BUT we had helluva shopping trip man.
and THAT is more than enough for me.
hawhawhaw.
okay. real short summary of the trip.

the trip there was bearable considering i slept away abt 3/4 of the 6hours.
though i rmbed lini was soooo urgent she went
"needa pee. my pee needs to be SET FREE!"
hahaha. she's gonna kill me for puttin that down.
hahaha.
so we stayed at this pretty posh hotel just for the heck of it.
okay, i sound like a spoilt brat but seriously, it's just cos my mama wanted to stay there for a night cos her fren told her it was good. haha.
but yea, stayed at this place called "Palace of the Golden Horses".
i know i know, sounds like the lameass movie called curse of the golden flower right?
joey kept making jokes abt it. like
"oh lets go back to the palace of the golden flowers. oh doh! the curse of the golden horses. oh DOH!"
hahaha.
but yea.
we exploited their facilities good.

we had plenty of meals at my auntie's place.
which is GOOD.
love her vegetarian dish, know the HUGE vege thingy people have on new year's morning?
yea, hers takes the cake man.
and her fish and tofu thing with lotsa gravy.
mhmmmhmmmmhm.
feel so loved whenever i go m'sia.
my relatives and all really dote on us.
like cook our favourite dishes and buy things we like and give us things they think we like.
even my first uncle shows us the love in real manly ways.
like he "kiap"s food for us to make sure we eat more.
aww.
haha.
so we did ALOT of shopping, with an uncle that i haven't seen in ages.
he insisted on buying us all each a gift since we hasn't seen him in abt, i dunno, seven years?
cos he was on "spiritual retreat".
hah.
and i swear,
my family consists of characters of all sorts.
ALL SORTS.
so colourful really.
haha.
but i had a real interesting time, not to mention productive, in terms of shopping i mean.

went for this exibition of sorts.
some chinese musical fountain, acrobatics with huge pots and seesaws and oh yea!
this fake dish-spinner!
my gosh, i felt so cheated.
this girl kept spinning and spinning these plates on poles/sticks while doing handstands and shite.
and when she got offstage behind this wall where she thought she was safe, she jsut put down the poles/sticks and plucked the plates off.
i was like "damnnn".
heh.
and we saw a whole lotta terracotta soldiers and horses and rose displays.
oh and we went to this ice palace thing where EVERYTHING inside was carved with ice.
staircase and swans and all.
they even had these slides made of ice.
man, we slid till our butts were numb.
and by the time we were out, we couldn't feel our toes no more.
well, lini couldnt feel her ears.
hah!
then we played on the inflatable jumping castles.
yesyes, i'm 16 this year.
go away la.
haha.but eventually,
we got bored and played bowling and had this mini Kbox session.
but we were SOOO loud.
the people from the next room shushed us.
-_-
haha.

okok.i'm done gushing abt the trip.
heh.

i had ample time to think and relax during this trip.
it did me well.
so yeah, i'm good.
school's starting for tmr.
dammit.
can't wait for thurs though.
CHOCOLATE BUFFET.
but haiya,
it means a day closer to them leaving.
owells.
you know what they say,
all good things have to come to an end.
so,yea.
i'll just cherish whats left of it.

oh yeayeayea!
inspiration struck and i came up with this whole new idea during the trip.
i'll launch a new series from now.
it's called "101 ways make a girl yours."
heh.
it's cos i'm such an emo freak.
maybe it's all the korean dramas and cliche romance novels and movies and emo songs.
or maybe it's cos of my first bf.
aiya.nothing to hide really. those of you who know, it's becos of him that i've set such sky-high standards. now i'll only accept guys of the same standards, or better. hah.
yea, so becos of all these factors,
i constantly conjure up different scenerios in my mind.
maybe it's called daydreaming, or i can try, situational planning.
hawhaw!
but yea, decided to put it to good use.
i'm gonna list out methods little by little on how to sweep a girl off her feet.
just in case you guys don't know how.
:D
i've always worked hard to build a bridge between men and women.
so men could understand women better.
so that men won't be stupid in women's eyes.
and so women wouldnt be from Venus in men's eyes.
and it you din know, it's cos you haven't been reading my blog enough you dumbass.
so so i conclude that this series is
beneficial for both parties ain't it? :D

but meanwhile,
gotta work on burning those fats.
i am a walkin BALL i tell ya.
i may be fatter, but i ain't richer.
how saddening.
but this whole trip, joey kept picking on me.
kept referring to me as "Your Fat-jesty".
roar.
that stupid muscle freak.
so lini was the queen of the Fat-dom.
i'm the princess.
and yewi is the prisoner since she has ZERO fat.
heh.
so joey keeps pinching my fat arms and holding it up to make sure the FATS don't disappear else the Fat-dom will collapse.
haiyo,i wanted him to treat me nice, but not in this manner.
owell.
better than nothing.
hawhaw!

so yea.
better make sure the fat-dom collapses.
pronto!

was just watching the Victoria Secrets Fashion Show on channel 5 just now. how very depressing it is. just served to remind me what a walking ball i am. how, just HOW can they be so skinny YET still have boobs. this is truly beyond me. nv-ending legs, abs, boobs. damn. they looked so good it's obscene i tell you. times like this when you wish life was fair.
owell.
lets move on to less depressing topics.
on to make another list!
just a little helpful reminder.
yes, it's that time of the year again.
no not chinese new year, ok yes, that too.
but i'm talking abt the time of the year when the prices of flowers get jacked up, chocolates get sold out, people hold baskets of flowers and come badger you to buy their flowers. and when the rates of PDAs(public displays of affection) inflate to obscenity.
yes, that time of the year.
just one more day.
yes.
so, list time. another one to help all the clueless men in the world.
call me noble but i'll teach you the tricks of the trade.
benefits both parties,doesnt it?
so here goes:


yeni posted at 11:15 PM • comment? Oh my..
What a weekend it has been.
Not that i'm complaining, but i should do this less often.
Considering i only got to start on homework at 9pm on Sunday night,
no, this kinda weekend is highy unproductive for my academic life.
Oh what the hell.
haha.

Friday:
the happy day.
O levels chinese results!
Pardon me while i relive my glorious moment.
ha!
A2 for chinese!
i was expecting a b3 or b4.
or even c5.
and bam! A2!
blew my mind.
went to the discovery centre and honestly,
i can't rmb no nothing no more.
except for slacking in the theatre with anna lydia zhijing and leti.
HA!
then went for dinner with jason and julian together with lini.
the boiys cooked!
wow.
and they're better cooks than lini and myself, by a stretch.
hawhaw.
had dessert and wine at the penthouse thingy with stars and all.
was amazing.
felt so..well taken care of that night.
like a little sister with the two older brothers i never had.
haha.
and again,
hx for dinner that night jase and julz.
and STOP harping on the fact that i did the dishes jason!
it's only FAIR.
so there =P

SATURDAY!
my favourite day.
haha.
after having a fit about how fat i was and not being able to decide what to wear,
lini and i met will (finally!) at clarke quay for lunch.
will will.
so different from what i expected.
nice different though =)
a pity you had to leave so soon.
stupid transit.
now have to wait another year.
so,
we checked out the new mall called "The Central" or sth, if im not wrong.
haha.
no comments on the mall cos most of its shops werent even open yet.
so headed to vivo with the two of em' after a little mishap on the train regarding will's ticket.
hawhaw!
he left soon after and on came julian.
shopped and shopped and then came alvin!
the bigger and darker version of him at least.
haha.
haven't seen him in AGES.
had dinner and he sent us home in a cab after several threats from dad abt grounding us =/
haha.

SUNDAY!
the most productive day in terms of shopping.
mama woke us up at 9am, my gosh.
bummed ard abit before heading to alexander road for lunch.
then we wenta town.
played shopping consultant to joey for the day, shopped for my own stuff and vday gifts before heading home.
HELLUVA LOTTA laughter on the car on the way home abt, bad stuff, that shld not be mentioned here.
reached home and tried on my new stuff.
went downstairs to eat sharksfin, abalone and birdnest (i kid you not.) that my dad so lovingly prepared in lieu of lini's soon-to-be departure =(
then started on homework and now i'm here loyally updating this blog of mine that has been rather stagnant since school started.
it ain't difficult to figure out why is it?
haha.

i have sent lini on a mission to get 2 tops tmr=) cant wait.

so tmr tmr.
back to the monotonous patterns of school life.
at least it's vday on wed and early release on fri(1 pm, ha!that helps..)

man.
i'm so crazy tired.
but just got this weird overwhelming desire to write.
and strangely enough, i haven't got a single thing in mind as to how to fill up this blank page.
but i just feel like typing.
random topics flying to my head really.
events that i havent had time to post about.
thoughts that followed the events.
many many thoughts.

today.
something out of the ordinary happened.
not gonna to say what it was so you can stop anticipating.
haha.
better burst the bubble before it gets bigger right?
but yea, something happened and it made me question certain things.
and i have come to realise that i don't know myself very well,
which is frankly pretty saddening.
like what kind of freak.
haha.
but yea.
sometimes,
i just do things that even i myself cant understand or comprehend.

mmhm.
in abt less than a month's time,
lini's leavin.
so is julian.
and jason.
alvin went in already.
zhihan would be going in soon.
like damn.
isolation for o's so soon eh.
this sucks, deeply and badly.
don't really wanna think abt it.

6 more days to valentine's day.
a day to make peace with old frens, show how much you love your loved ones, and not to forget, a day to feel loved.
then i'll be heading over to m'sia on the 16-20th, CNY.
then grandad's bday on the 23rd
then lini's flight on the 24th, 3am.

damn.
time flies.

more cold and soggy than hot but still!haha.
played volleyball, took wacky shots (in which i would put up soon), laughed till we built abs (right), became illegal immigrants in posh toilets, played bishi bashi *sp? (im the reigning champ!), ate at sushi teh (mmMmmmMmm) and went home. was all good. now i'm all burnt and achy. but..

haha.
and that day, we were a hit with the camera lenses ok. not only on our camera mind you.
this lady from FLUID productions (haha.i cant help laughin whenever i say it man.i wish i caught lini's MOMENT on film dammit) approached us when we were playing volleyball. asked us to come down for some photoshoot the following week for some clip to put on the suntec bigscreen. lini and i were like "the fats yo". hahha.and also, this guy kept taking our sneak shots (though jason said it was a video) and kept smiling to himself and walked off. din even ask for our permission man. haha.
but anyway.
it was hilarious, the whole of sat. a little short lull int he afternoon. but it picked up.
t'was good.


and today!
we had a
we made a total profit of
60bucks!
doesnt sound like alot but trust me.
with two other advertised sales in the neighbourhood on the same day as ours,
sixty bucks is good ok!
