nonsensical moments

2008-02-17T22:36:00.001+08:00

I've moved to

the big move

2007-12-14T03:02:00.000+08:00

I'm gonna make some effort to revive this already dead blog.
Haha. I'm using lini's lappie now, so pardon whatever errors you can find to use against me. Cos whenever I hit Backspace, I end up going to the beginning of my line because Home is just beside Backspace. And I have no idea if my last sentence just made any sense. Haha.
So I've been rather occupied of late. But whats new right. I swear my break is whizzing past me. I've just done my visa and shite today and gotta go for my medical checkup soon-ish. Damn I can't believe I'm starting school on valentine's day. That really sucks. And I've still got so many things coming up. Ah yes,
unless you've been living under a rock, you'd know that I'm moving! From my curent t-junction house to High Oak Condo. Yep, the one just down the hill. So hill no more! The big shift would happen on monday (so no more sneakily using their gym!Ha!). And there'll be a YardSale on sunday. It's a walk-in kinda sale, so we just kinda place price tags on everything in the house; piano, clothings, shoes, bags, accesories, exercise equipment, books, CDs, chairs, tables, food, ornaments, golf clubs, TVs and whatnot. Oh and feel free to let me know if you wanna set up a stall. And do come and buy stuff! It'll be great fun!
And then it'll be some really messy unpacking and packing. Going to Vietnam, Hanoi next wednesday. And god, I can't believe I won't be in Singapore for Christmas. Oh well.

And, I'm sad (and a tad embarrassed) to say that..I quit my job.
Haha. Yea yea, after a week. But that's only because I requested to work part-time instead of full time and they decreased my pay. My already-meagre pay. So I had no choice but to decline their offer. So.. I'm back to meeting people I havent met in years and getting blisters all over my feet from dressing up everyday. Other than that, I'm staying up insane hours watching something or another. Haha. My mum caught Lini and I up at about 6am and gave us this really appalled look. Well, it seems that staying up all night re-watching Meteor Garden is a baaaad thing. Haha. Yep I know that F4 is wildly passe, but they were really adorable. And their story omg. Haha. I swear, these kinda shows really..send your imagination into overdrive. And of course, serve to pressurise men into being The Perfect Man. But it's really sweet okay! Though this time i remained resolutely dry-eyed (,what a letdown). I'm NOT gonna move on to Meteor Garden 2 cos I can't stand the thought of Michelle Saram(sp?but who cares) cosying up to Daoming Si.
And now I've moved on to youtube; the Victoria Secrets Fashion Show 2007. Damn I swear I'm so male. Hahaha. They're soooo sooooo sooooo sooooo hot (see my excitement has robbed me of my vocabulary). And you should go watch the Spice Girls performing on the show. Victoria Beckham has never looked... stranger. What with the shaking and singing. She's always been a bit of a..well, mannequin, hasn't she. Haha.
And i miss yewi! She's still away. In Thailand for the SEA games. Joey said he caught her on TV! Though it was about midnight? Strange timing huh. Pity I wasn't home to see. She'll be back on saturday night.
And damn I miss anna. She's been gone soooo long.
Bleh.
Anyways, no photos till yewi's back since she'd TOOK MY CAMERA.
Haha. I would post photos of my current house man. It's a fucking warzone I tell you. I can hardly see ANY floor in my room, perhaps glimpses of brown. Hahaha. And everything is falling apart here man. My cupboard door fell off. And the shower curtains kinda..came off. Haha. And now I've gotta bathe in the dark cos the bulb blew and my dad refuses to change it. "moving house already what, so no need to change la", I quote. SIGH. The poor people who are moving in. They don't know what they're in for. At this rate, I wouldn't even raise an eyebrow if my room door flew off the hinges.
Anyway, I speak too much. I can't believe it's full of words again. Haha.
So i'm off. Ah yea, in case I haven't got your email and you haven't received my email. I'll be leaving on the 11th of feb (just got confirmation a few days back), so do contact me for a meet up soon-ish? Im all booked up so it might have to wait till jan. (Everyone wants a piece of me. HAHAHA, I KID) But i do wanna meet as many long-lost friends/neighbours/ lovers(hahaha)/people in general as possible. And omg i wanna go to sentosa for some volleyball! Haha. So if I haven't texted you, take some initiative k! I probably really wanna see you but lost your number. (hahaha, if it's for any other reasons, I doubt you'd really wanna know anyway.) So anyways, I'm gonna catch some sleep.
But please do remember to

COME FOR THE YARD SALE ON THE 16TH OF DEC!

It'll be tons of fun and there'll be something for everyone!
Just cross your fingers that it won't rain.

2007-12-10T02:11:00.000+08:00

I feel so many emotions I don't really know how to put them into proper words. I can't even count the number of times i've deleted my second paragraph. Haha..
Okay. It's just that I feel so incredibly cheated.
Alright that's all there is to it. I can't bring myself to discuss it further.
It's so embarrassing and silly the thought of someone else knowing about it hurts me.
Actually, to be honest, the thought of it hurts me.
Well okay, you hurt me, period.
K I'm done. I need to sleep.
(Never ever ask me about this)

got a job

2007-11-30T00:38:00.001+08:00

Gotta get to bed in about two minutes.
So everything will be short and sweet.

I got a job!

Haha. No life again.
Needa work saturdays too.
I have to constantly think of the income.
And town will be like, my second home.
But...
The best news yet.

P.S. I love you by Cecelia Ahern will be out in theatres soon!

Gives me the chills just thinking about it.

thailand trip!

2007-11-28T23:17:00.000+08:00

Damn, it seems like I haven't updated in about seven thousand two hundred and sixty four days huh. Well, at least there'll be photos this time! Haha.
O levels, now a thing of the past. Alright, almost. I can only say that after I get my results. But now, at least I get the pleasure of gloating while joey does Amath. Haha, evil.
So.. After O's, of course I went shopping. With my BFF anna, who's now in HK. Bleh, miss her to bits. Had class chalet, which was a success (thanks dawn!). Initially, the turn out was miserable, abt 6 people. I wasnt there yet. But more people turned up and abt 10+ stayed over. No room to slp man. Haha. But t'was good fun. We wanted to watch the sunrise, but I guess..sleep was way too tempting.
Went to Zouk; alot of drama i shall not relive. Ugly.
Mhm, watched Yewi perform at TP. She's headed for Thailand soon for the SEA Games for cheer. Lucky shite.
Went for a (TERRIBLE) haircut with megs. I swore, i'd wait for everything to grow out before I go public. But well, then I'd have to wait till Feb or smth. But i was so upset I thought I'd cry.
Haha, then Lini came home. Laughed at my hair. Haha, stupid biatch.
And it was time for Thailand! No boys. Pure shopping bliss, 5days of shopping. It was sososo fun! I never thought I'd get tired of shopping. And none of us admitted, but I think we were kinda worn out from walking so much. You get to see photos below, don't worry. Haha. It was a lot of eating too. ALOT. I swear, I've got like 3kg of mango sticky rice in me now. Okok, I'll let the photos do the talking.

DAY 1
Had a 6:15pm flight. I had many great plans to buy duty-free cosmetics at the airport. Imagine my horror when I reached the budget terminal to find ONE measly cosmetics shop. Guess cosmetics will have to wait till my Vietnam trip; Budget terminal no more! Haha.Reached Thailand about 7plus (Thai time). Took a cab to a hotel called Lefenix. Fairly swanky, and only 6-months old. And had dinner at a restaurant called Chili Culture. Good good good food.

Lini setting reminders on my phone on the way to the airport. On my uncle's handy van.

Lefenix's lobby.

Gotta love her shoes; and pose; and photographer's (yours truly) creative angle.

At Chili Culture. Omg all the yummy yummy food. Pineapple rice was so good! Though we tried some drink called.. Matum juice? It tasted like aromatherapy oil. And the mango sticky rice there is a MUST-try.

DAY 2

We wanted to try out the Thai MRT, you know. Try to live the Thai life take public transport kinda thing. But it was apparently too far to walk to the nearest station (a lie!) so we took a tuktuk. The driver(?) was so cute. We wanted to go to the shopping district (MBK, Siam Square, Siam Paragon, Siam Centre), and told him to send us to the nearest MRT station. So he said, 'okay, 30 Baht'. And we agreed. However, on the way there, he stopped his tuktuk and made us an offer. He said, 'I bring you to the shopping district free of charge, but you have to go to this jewellery store. Becos if i bring you there in my tuktuk, i get one litre of oil. If you buy smth there, i get 5 litres. okay?' And after much contemplation, we agreed. And my mum bought a bracelet there. So he got his 5 liters. Good deal huh?

So we went to Siam Square (like Bugis sorta) to shop. Alot of haggling omg. We were like, Bargain Bitches. And my mum really rocks at it. There're techniques too you know. Haha. It's great fun to watch. Though lini and i weren't very fast learners. Haha. We kinda sucked at it too. Picture this.

Lini(whispers) : Yeni, i like that jacket. Isit nice?

Yeni : Try it on la. How much? (i ask the lady)

Lady : 750 Baht.

Yeni : (mimick my mum) NNNnnnOOOOOooooo!! (looks completely appalled). 400 Baht.

Lady : Noo, cannot miss.

Lini(with jacket on her) : Isit nice?

Yeni : Erm, not really. Don't buy it.

Lini : Okay.

We walk out of the shop.

Lady grabs Lini's arm.

Lady : Okok, i give you 500 Baht.

Lini looks at me

Yeni(whispers to her) : Okay I'll just say something so low she reject and we walk out.

So i said

Yeni : No. 300 Baht.

Lady : Ah okay okay.

Yeni&Lini (mutters) : SHIT.

Yeni : Okay, I'll ask my mum.

We walk out and burst into laughter.

Hahaha. We suck so bad. But we bought alot of stuff actually. MmmMm. Had lunch at a place called Krocs. Had a mani-pedicure. Bought more stuff. We succumbed and went back to Chili Culture for dinner since the food was too damn good. Haha. Then headed back to the hotel.

On the tuktuk.

Our edible flower display at Krocs. Hahaha. Thai people eat alot of vege btw. Cos their fruit and veg's so damn good. And yes, i have to say. I'm sick of them skinny-heel-wearing thai girls. Gosh. They're everywhere.

Lethal stuff. Makes me cry.

Ooh yes. Our very cutesy pink taxi! We took one every day. Very fated with it, it seems. Haha.

Staircase shot at Lefenix.

Chili Culture again! With my chicken-cashew salad and Aloha rice.

DAY 3
Had a massage and facial. I was totally gone i tell you. Knocked out for both the massage and facial. Though during the massage I was a tad shocked when she lifted the towel off my butt. I was butt naked man. Though it was good, erm, butt massage. And boob massage. Haha. Okay I should stop right about here. Then we went to chinatown! Where we had bird's nest and street food. Then we went to the wholesale market, which was a bitter disappointment. And then we went to a shopping mall! And bought a whole load of things again.

Chinatown.

Yeni and yewi. The bowl of bird's nest kinda got cut off. And I look so..raw. Haha. After the facial.

Ooo yes my favourite hotel. Millenium hotel, or isit millenium. Bah! We were sorta cam-whoring at the conservatory. That's yewi and her new toy. It says Lovely but we named it Smelly cos that's what ot'll be in about 4 years time.

Mum and Lini.

Yewi, small as a..I duno what.

At the pool side!

Credits to Lini. Though I still look fat. Zomg, the 3kg of mango rice. Haha.

How could we miss out the jumping pose ya. Haha.

Our daily battle with the sun. Our best friend, Sunscreen.

DAY 4

Okay actually the last few shots of day3 belonged to day4 but I put it in day3 since it was at the Millenium. We checked into the Hilton early morning day4 though we cam-whored in both hotels. Haha.

After cam-whoring, we went to Chatuchuk Market, by MRT. Haha. It's actually quite convenient and not as scary as my mum made it out to be. What with pickpockets and missing our station and all. Hahaha. I think I was holding my bag to tightly, everybody probably thought I was a terrorist. So..Chatuchuk Market was so insanely hot I swear I melted. Ah and everybody was kinda grumpy and there wasnt much to buy. So we went to shop at MBK/Siam Square area again. And again, we bought alot of stuff. Ah, and how could I leave this out. We went to the red-light district! See the skanks, we say. Haha, so mean. We (I) were (was) so excited! Haha. It was only 8pm actually, so it wasn't too dangerous or anything yet. Though my mum was very angry that I wore 'so little cloth'. A spaghetti. Haha.

You get plenty of variety there too. Fat thin, tall short, dark fair, long hair short hair, female (fe)male. Hahaha. They were decked out in bikinis/lingerie/not-much-at-all, pole-dancing. The front-door's usually left open to entice. Haha. There was this incredible decent-looking, okay nerdy, caucasian. What with the glasses and checked shirt tucked in. This pimp was saying to him:

"I've got a young one for you. She got long legs."

If I were the caucasian, my next question would be:

"was she a man?"

Haha. Then we headed back to the hotel for the jacuzzi and sauna. My mum was like, "must you wear a bikini here in thailand, it's dangerous". So imagine her mortification when we saw two russian woman, stark naked. Haha. It was..well, quite a sight. My mum's face was rather blank actually. And I actually felt like I had too much cloth on me. Yep, even with a bikini. Haha. We tried to speak to the girls and they were so cute. Haha. And they couldnt be more comfortable with their bodies. Though I'm sure I caught one of them looking at my cleavage and going 'mmhm. what small boobies.' Hahaha. Theirs were..well. They were very, very very, well-endowed. Haha. Went back to the hotel room to soak in the bathtub somemore and slept early.

Yewi on the very nice thick sheets at the Hilton.

(Skinny) poseur.

Cam-whoring session commenced yet again.

At the large glass window.

Half the view.

Thailand MRT.

Toilet photo. Another classic. Hahaha.

DAY 5
Got up early early early at 5:30am. Queued up forever at the airport. It just screamed INEFFICIENT. Had our last thai meal at the airport. And lulled around abit at the shops. And it seems that we're always late for flights no matter how early we get to the airport. We actually had to run cos we almost missed the final call. Haha, very very embarrassing stuff. Everybody staring at us while we scurried to our seats. The same thing happened on our flight back from Melbourne last year. LAST to board, again. Haha.

After the flight (I HATE FLIGHTS, you know), we went over to my grandma's place to visit since it was on the way and we had a free ride from our uncle. Then it was home sweet home.

Just this one picture we took out of utmost boredom while queueing.

All in all, the thailand trip was awesome. I'd do it again, anytime. Malaysia this weekend! I can hardly wait.

And today was spent looking for a job. After a number of rather nasty hang-ups..

Me: Hi, I'm calling to enquire about the ad you placed in Classified.

Man: Ah, how old are you?

Me: I'm 16, I'm currently waiting for my O level results.

Man: sorry cannot #JH b^ag$nlk(*!jbf9231u thanksforcallingthanksbyebye.

Dialtone. Yep, i couldnt even hear why he rejected me.

And another weirdo guy

Me: Hi, I'm calling to enquire about the ad you placed in Classified.

Man: Hello?

Me: yes Hi?

Man: HAAA-LLO??

Me: Hello?

Man: Ya?

Me: I'm calling about the ad you put in the newspaper?

Man: Ah ya?

Me: Yes. Are you still hiring?

Man: Ya.

Me: O k a y. Well, do you hire students?

Man: Ah, no.

Me: Okay thanks then. Bye.

Man: Huh?

Me: Erm, I'm a student so I can't work for you.

Man: Huh?

Me: Well, I can't work for you becos I'm a student.

Man: Orh okay.

Me: Yeahh,so thank you. Bye bye.

Man: Huh. oh okay.

Me: yep bye.

Man: Bye.

I'll bet he did that on purpose. I was slowly losing the will to live. I could have killed him man.

But it's all good. I've got a few interviews lined up for tomorrow.

So, since it's almost 3:30am, I shld probably get to bed now. Though i ache so bad from all the exercise i've been doing. Gotta work off the mango rice you know. Haha.

Night.

2007-11-17T00:14:00.000+08:00

I caved in, when I shouldn't. I need to find what I lost.
You know,
I really feel like updating because everybody's been updating about their post o lvl activities, with photos and all that. But I'm too lazy to upload my photos. And sick of just seeing a chunk of words on my blog. So I won't.
And my feet hurts so bad.
K I sound so cranky.
I need sleep.
But I'm so tired of trying to sleep man.

unofficially done

2007-11-07T02:05:00.000+08:00

I am (unofficially)done with O's. But whateverrrr. Haha. Just two more paper 1s left to go, and I'm as free as a bird. Though that's not to say that I'm not already feeling free. Haha.

So far, this week has been really terrible. I've probably only gotten about 6 hours of sleep the past two days? I always always cram lit last minute, and I swear, I will never ever do that again. Haha, if I still take lit in the future.

Goverance didn't come out for ss, which was a Huge shocker. Venice came out, which was mad cause next to nobody studied it. Guess ET was right. And nobody seems to like population. So quite a number of people were stuck. Ah wells, I'm just glad I studied for KBE. I was rather bummed that governance didn't come out but I should really just shut up and be thankful.

Biology was ridiculous. I wasted to much time studying human reproduction, plant reproduction, the eye, skin, digestion, microorganism and whatnot. All the big stuff. All for nothing. Bleh.

And lit paper one was fine. I doubt I came up with a 25/25 essay or anything that spectacular. But it was quite good compared to paper 2. I swear the questions were so gross. All the supposedly 'no-content' poems came out. So stupid. I studied my war poems and nature poems for nothing! AHH. And you know how much I just adore nature poems..

But no matter. No use crying over spilled milk. I'm just glad all my major papers are done. But i will NOT start slacking away. Once I start, i'd never ever be able to get back to study mode. I'll just sleep alot the next few days. Ha, sleep bio sleep chem sleep eat. Sounds good.

And all the best to all MEP and full geog girls for tmr! Well and to my linsypoop! You'll do good yea. Just 14days more to home sweet home! and 15 days to crazy (cost-free) shopping! Haha. Absolute heaven.

K i'm going to savour my chance to be bored, stare at the ceiling and do absolutely nothing. I'll sleep without the fear of oversleeping for my O level exams. I wouldn't have to set the alarm clock and worry about not completing my study plans for the day. Ahh, what bliss. I gotta go find some decent books to read too. I can't remember to last book I read. How sad is that. And I think the last movie I watched was..Hairspray (which was excruciating). Haha. But geek no more!

Btw, I found the Noose and that 80s rewind show kinda cute. Haha. Even Maggie and mee was quite bearable. And damn, I have the biggest crush of fiona xie. she's so hot. And eva longoria. Ah gotta go get Desperate Housewives season 4. Cos you see, I'm not usually a fan of local sitcoms. Like PCK, my Sassy Neighbour and..Living with Lydia? It's painful to watch. Actually, even Mr Bean is hard to watch. But yeah, the recent shows are quite nice. Okay with the exception of "Deal or no Deal'. Haha, 'meal or no meal'. If you watched the Noose, you would know what I'm talking about. Damn I shouldnt't know all these stupid shows. I'm too big a teevee-face for my own good. Haha. And I don't even have cable. If I get cable, i probably wouldn't even step outta my house man. Haha.

And you know what.
I am actually, suddenly extremely annoyed right now. Though i am aware that I have absolutely no right to be and shouldn't be, I still am.(Was that ambiguous enough for you?) And the fact that I am annoyed annoys me even more. God have you heard of anything less spastic? I probably just need some sleep. Though I shouldn't go for my 30hour marathon now, God forbid. Maybe half of that would do.

Night.

2007-11-06T00:28:00.000+08:00

My last big exam. Please please let things go my way.
I'm so damn tired. But so much lit..

2007-11-04T16:09:00.000+08:00

Please please please let governance or KBE come out.

o's update

2007-10-31T15:42:00.000+08:00

You have no idea how relieved I am now. I'm officially free of chinese! After years of squeezing blood from stone writing those stupid book reports and formal/informal letters. Even though I take higher chinese (haha, give me a moment to be smug), my chinese sucks truly and deeply. Ask anybody who's heard me speak. Or ask anna, she's seen me at my worst. Haha. Even Yewi's chinese is better than mine, and by a stretch. Not that her chinese is bad or anything, but she's in sec one man. Haha. And she helps me with my essays. She goes like, 'you don't know how to write zhou wen(wrinkles)? I can't believe you're from higher chinese!' She says that all the time. Bleh. And there was once when I begged anna to come over to my place to tell me the whole story of some thick chinese book that we had a test on the next day. Terrible I tell you. And days when I have ting xie, i'll think of going to the sick bay all day till chinese period. But no more! Though I'm quite sure my essay sucked, but the paper was surprisingly simple. So, I can pass hcl! I really hope they don't up the passing mark or anything, else I'd really die. I just really really really want to pass. Gosh I haven't said pass in a long while, it's been A1 A1 A1. haha. But it's chinese! So.. yeah. Even my laoshi tells me 'xue xin ah, ni ji ge wo jiu hen gao xing le'. (xue xin, if you pass i'll be really happy). So please please please, just let me PASS CHINESE.

Well today was the last day of the second week of O's for me. I'm about halfway done, or a bit more I suppose. I've got bio ss and lit next week. Killer killer killer. I doubt I'd be getting much sleep on monday and tuesday, if any. It'll be insane studying from tonight till next tue. Grr. Hate all these memory-heavy subjects. At least they're..rather interesting. Well, sans social studies.

My papers so far has been rather manageable. Of course there are the careless mistakes that I shan't go into. Lest I bore you with my incessant obsessing. But it's been okay and I should be able to do o k a y unless they push up the A1s and 2s to insanely high standards. But God forbid.

Ah I cant reiterate how much I want O's to be over. Really I can't.

It's rather late but a big thank you to everybody who flooded/ or are still flooding my inbox with all those good luck texts and encouraging verses. It's really sweet and I appreciate it. Though a tad upsetting since those whom I thought would text didnt and those whom I haven't expected to text did. Sweettalk really is bullshit. Ah, I shouldn't even be caring. It's an utter waste of my time. Perhaps I should do the thing that Irene Ang does. It was on 8 Days mag, whatiscalled. Friend-deleting of something. Update my phonebook every beginning of the year. Delete those who arent true and keep the real ones.

Haha. What's up with me. I'm angsty all of a sudden. rawr.

Anyway. Whoever actually bothers to read this, please do start reading 8Days. I'm a big big big big fan of it (and phin wong as well as tommy wee).

Anyway, dinner time.

"If you don't stop irritating me, I'll change all your passwords.!"

HAHAHA. Guess who said that?

I've got such freaky people around me, who have strange penchants for licking me.
Not in a sexy way.

So not.

Random random.
O's have been pretty much alright.
Ish.
Nothing I wanna kill myself over yet.

And I did emath from 9 to 9 today.
My (selective) ability to concentrate for such incredibly long hours surprise me.

K anyway, i'm out.
Night.

O's tomorrow!

2007-10-21T20:17:00.000+08:00

My goodness. My first paper is tomorrow!
It's so hard to believe I tell you. I've been dreaming of this day since god knows when.
I sound so retarded, but my heart rate increases drastically every time I think about tomorrow. Feels like I've got a crush. HAHA, yeah an infatuation on O levels. Charming.
Tsk tsk, all the adrenaline.
I can't wait can't wait!
I'm not gonna study anymore. I'll sleep early tonight, ha. Cos' Delia says so.
Though I have no idea what to do tomorrow morning since my paper is at 1430.
I probably shouldn't get up at 1pm since I don't wanna be groggy.
But if i get up early, I'd be worrying myself crazy.
Gah, the paranoia.
Haha.
Okay I know all the sec 4's have heard it about eleven thousand seven hundred and two times..
But it's less than a month till we can burn our books.
So, all the way man.

Let's get our A1s.

yewi's friend

2007-10-17T23:24:00.000+08:00

yewi : yeni, tmr my friend is coming over and she's very..like, you know. so don't say any bad words ah.

yeni: you make it seem like i say a lot of bad words.

yewi: you do what.

yewi: like 'bloody hell' or 'bitch'.

yeni: oh bitch is a bad word? is 'stupid' a bad word to her too..

sigh. the things we talk about.

Ah, the month of october. The month of birthdays.

And you know, i've been thinking.. Maybe after o's i'll convert to xanga. Hell after o's, i plan to do so many things. I shan't even go into that now. I'll waste another hour daydreaming.

Okay okay so now,
let's scare ourselves.
O levels start in a freakish 4days time.
So surreal.
And I can hardly wait.

2007-10-17T03:19:00.000+08:00

I feel like giving up.

Really, screw o's.

'Nobody got anywhere in the world by simply being content. '

Louis L'Amour

Gotta keep telling yourself that.

And..
Happy 19th birthday , birthday boy.

On the most random note, i hate studying my humanities.

joey's bday

2007-10-09T00:34:00.000+08:00

I'm a tad late. But better late than never no? So happy 15th birthday my little brother. Though 'little' is hardly appropriate now.
Last night, we cut joey's cake at about 12 midnight. After that, i decided to stay up the night to do revision since i got up late that..afternoon. Haha. So it was about 4am at night when sudden joey came up behind me, his jaw in hand. His lips unmoving, he hissed 'Yeni, there's something wrong. It's damn pain.' And i was scared, cause his eyes were shiny. I mean, this is the (birthday)boy who twisted his angle jumping down steps (laughing), and getting his arms trampled on with spiked boots (or whatever fancy names rugby shoes have). I gently ran my hand along his jawline, and it was what i can only describe as dented. If i said i was freaked out then, it's a gross understatement. I was like, 'what the hell did you do?'. And he said, ' I duno! It's fucking painful. I can't open my mouth.' So i brought him to my mum's room. All this while, he held my hand. I switched on the lights and said, ',mum, there's something wrong with joey.' She jumped out of bed and starting giving instructions. Help him change his clothes, bring yewi to school, don't let him touch his jaw. In abt 5mins, my dad was reversing the car out of the porch, heading to the hospital.
They came back at about 5plus. Apparently, he dislocated his jaw. Yup, while he was sleeping. Hahaha. He was probably grinding his teeth or something, but the doctor thinks it's stress. I don't really see a link, but ah well. So my dear little brother missed his literature paper, and he's so happy about it. Now, one side of his face is swollen, so we call him 'fat face'. To get back at all the times he calls us fat. Haha.

You see, throughout that whole incident, I was acutely aware of two seemingly insignificant details.
1. He was holding my hand.
It was so sweet because though small, that gesture made me feel needed. Coming from the tough guy in my family, it was so special. And i felt so..big sisterly. Haha. Such a cheap thrill, i know. And i was so touched because i was the first person he looked for despite me being all the way downstairs. Haha. Gotta love that boy.
2. My mum's.. readiness.
Honest, she JUMPED out of bed. As though she knew it was going to happen. In my whole life, I've only woken my mum up twice. Once when i was 7, the second was last night. When i was seven, I woke into her room and didnt even switch on the lights. I think i couldnt reach the switch. Haha, i'm not sure. But it was the exact same reaction. I tapped her and groaned 'mum..' and she got up immediately. I was like 'stomachpain..' and she rubbed that oil thingy on my tumtum. Something about mothers, or at least my mother. Perhaps she's extremely well-trained, what with having four very accident-prone kids. Haha. It's like she doesn't really sleep, always prepared. It's very, comforting. Yeah, though in a very selfish way. Really makes me wonder if i could ever be that.
Haha. Lately, my mum keeps telling me that she can't wait till Lini and I start working, so that she can retire. Haha. You hear that linsypoop?

********************

Quick update.
Well, my life really revolves around papers papers and more papers. I'm chained to the study table almost every day. Sounds kinky huh. Haha. About 13 days to that start of O's. I can hardly wait. Then i'm good and free.
My results have been, improving. Slowly but surely. So that's a good, encouraging thing. Oh and whoever's been asking me for my olevel time table, go see jeann's blog. She's put it up. Haha.
So, it's really the last last stride.
Still cant believe its already october.
I want my single single digit.
And I think I'm going crazy thinking about it.

2007-09-14T15:25:00.000+08:00

OKAY. Finally, a decent update in god knows how long. There'll actually be photos this time, albeit not many. So..

I'll just run you through some.. They aren't really pretty though. I told you prelims were a total B i t c h didn't i?

Shopping trip with Anna.

And, you know our mandatory 'cam-whore-on-public-transport' session.

Haha. Now i just have to refrain from announcing how fat i think i look.

I realised that I'm a legs person.

Anna's said, ' I wonder when you'll ever stop telling me that so-and-so's legs are hot'. Haha. I often check out legs, more females than males actually. Heh.

Guess which pair's mine?

Hint: Anna has sexy pins.

Oh and i bought a white dress that day, or at least i think it was that day. I've bought so many things of late I sorta lost count. And that's supposed to be a good thing. Haha.

I came home to DONUTS. Okay so I'm not much of a donut fan but I was absolutely starving. I didn't have anything to eat that day since you know..Eating on 'Shopping day' is strictly verboten unless you want to deprive yourself of the illusion that you're thin. Haha. Well, also, I didn't eat cos I only had 45cents with me left after busting 200bucks on shopping. Shame on me. Heh.
But moving on..

Really pretty donuts huh.

And This is after I rather savagely attacked them.

Then I worked off the guilt by well, playing with Yewi. And that sounds sorta kinky. Haha.

Dont't judge me alright. This is what you get having a gymnast as a spoilt little sister. And of course, also the fruits of being thegiving, spontaneous, fun-loving older sister.

And so.

Playtime!

The beginning stages.

There!

Yewi's "Superman Aeroplane". And I swear, she was the one who came up with that name.

I'm just a passive player.

Attempting another stunt. But it's not quite, right yet. And she looks kinda constipated, doesnt she?

BEAUTIFUL!
Complete with the Adam Sandler face and lameass hair. Priceless.
Hahahaha. I'm so sorry I couldn't cut off her knickers man. Else you wouldn't be able to see her pretty pointed toes. Their second appearance now. At least they aren't granny panties k.

[edit] Had to cut out knickers. Yewi had a fit. This is a pleasant change isn't it? haha.

Oh and this is my one and only decent photo for Founder's night. And if you're wondering, that's because the dumbass here forgot to charge her camera. I'll go steal a few photos from Lydia and Anna soon.

Spare me a moment to be narcissistic. But the photos just really bellow

C-A-M W-H-O-R-E !

I will shall not comment on the penultimate photo because it is rude and obnoxious. Haha. But the last one's so pretty! It's got a...Special quality about it. Though the word 'grouchy' might also fit the fill quite nicely.
Taken by yours truly.

Done with photos for now.

I've been receiving bits and pieces of my results. But the bulk of it would be received on Monday. Oh the nerves I tell you.

I've been strangely, annoyingly jolly of late.

That's meant to be a good thing.

Gonna resume to intensive studying again. O's are in, a little bit more than a month. And then i've got so many plans I'd probably be hardly able to breathe. Fantastic. Can't wait for O's to be over.

And so I won't be updating in awhile. But what's new right? I'm probably annoying all of you since every time you come to my blog, you see 'i paraphrase' and go somewhere else. Haha. But yea, I doubt i'd be updating that often. Probably only the whiny, bratty, 'studying sucks you dry' sort of posts. Heh. You'll get used to it.

Meanwhile, I'll just resume to my quiet, boring nerd-mode. (I'm so used to being abused with these hurtful terms. I've got brutal friends.)

So till then...And on a completely random note, go listen to that stupid Lipgloss song. It's got an ability to be annoying and hilarious at the same time. And the lyrics, dammit. Cracks me up everytime I hear it on radio. Not proud of it, I swear, it's a lame one -off.

Yes and if you can, do NOT watch Hairspray. It was an excruciating experience.

Oh, I know you don't read my blog. But still, I insist.

HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY ZHIHAN!

Haha.

Okay

Parents hollering.

Dinner time! :)

almost there

2007-08-27T23:28:00.001+08:00

i paraphrase:
After discussing the matter with the board, I'm afraid I have to announce that there will be in increase in the school fees from the current two hundred & forty-five to two hundred & ninety-five dollars.
*cue sniggering from sec4 cohort.

Yewi's been bitching about that and mrs duno-what and her life science test and god knows what else to god knows who for god knows how long. It is unfortunately, awfully amusing.
Obviously it speaks alot of my sources of entertainment. And vocab limitations.

But all these will be coming to an end soon enough.
I'm approximately 80 MCQs away from a normal life.
Splendid, ain't it?

Then I can upload all my 'i'm so bored i'm camwhoring to pass time' photos up here.
And proceed to shop, dance, read something other than a TYS or a textbook while taking a bubble bath, play volleyball and badminton and etc. basically, whatever I want to do.

And how could i ever forget, SLEEP.

cracking

2007-08-25T02:19:00.000+08:00

and so, i cracked.

maybe it is because i am a severely folded piece,
demanding green-inked corrections.

2007-08-15T18:58:00.000+08:00

quick update:
amath paper 1 was alright.
amath paper 2 was a horror.
chem paper 2 was, really really bad. i can kiss my A1 goodbye.
geog elective was quite delightful though. i was bursting with things to write.

english on friday. and intense bio and ss on the weekend.
and i've got one free day tmr!
fantastic.

i'm really getting used to this exam timetable.
home by the end of the primary sch recess feels pretty good.
yeah yeah, cheap thrill.
and i don't actually mind the crazy-ass studying so much now.
owell, but i'd love to start relaxing after prelims.
i'm really looking like nonsense.

and revelations really are like buses.
none for ages, and suddenly plenty at one go.
one of which, is how badly i take to my mistakes.
i walked out of the hall after amath paper 2 with a sinking feeling.
i had made about, 10marks worth of careless mistakes.
the really stupid kinds that you stop making after practicing a paper or two.
and i just couldnt get my mind off it. couldn't sleep because of it.
arg.
and chemistry too. gah!
it's like that asian man on Solitary.
he kept harping on his mistake, so he couldn't compete under optimum conditions, and lost a challenge..
i was like, god he's dumb. but i'm doing the same thing. and i can't help it.
it's so typical of me though. like how A said, 'you can't be perfect'.

ahhhh. okay english paper on friday.
perfect english from now on.
in nad's words, i need to "get over it".
k.

and nads, it's fine. no use harping over geog, or amath, or chemistry. it's over and you can't do anything about it anymore. just think of how it'll affect your other subjects. the ONLY thing you can do is to make up by doing superbly well for say, bio, emath and physics and all that. k? be strong. you're tougher than you look. or at least, attempt to be. haha. strong is sexy. hahaha. okay im so not helping. doh. and you're a smartypants k. you were one in sec two, and you still are now. who do i call whenever im stuck at something? YOU! so see, stop saying you're stupid. or you might very well, become that. think smart. walk into the exam hall and think, A1. k? i love you.

and jeannnnnn. you poor girl. i feel so sad for you, you sickly injury-prone woman. i have no idea whether to tell you to study hard, or to rest well. heh heh. but in any case, you have good, logical, analytical brains. and you have God. so you're good, man. get well soon. i'm sure you'll do well nonetheless, cos you're sooooo unbelievably consistent anyway. haha. get well soon toughie.

to the rest of you, we've got 2 papers down. erm, and quite a number more to go. so keep going. i'm quite sure most of the geog elec girls are quite pleased. see, you reap what you sow. do the same for ss. rmb to weigh your factors and learn up your explanations. and for english, be
'precise', show that you understand the text. thats the most impt point. and rmb, thesaurus.com is your best friend now.

okay done with nagging.
gonna have dinner now.
and then i'm gonna study through the night.
all the best! :)

prelimss

2007-08-12T18:38:00.000+08:00

i think i quite fancy being called a "nerd".

i guess studying does strange things to you.

thanks ya'll for the encouragement.

all the studying's done me in. i keep thinking about how i'd kill myself if i fail. or how i might make 20marks worth of careless mistakes and fail.
paranoia paranoia.
though it's possible no?
okay im not gonna start entertaining that again.

needa say sorry.
i ripped big mouth.
code talk.
let's put it to stress, shall we?

and i miss daddy.
he's coming home tonight.
with my black jeans!
courtesy of linsypoop.
and thats how i get my shopping done.
heh.

okay i'm being really disorganised.
i keep bouncing topics.
it's just that there are little reminders zooming through my head now:

tan graph. integration. rate of change. binomial theorem.
conc sulphuric acid, nickel. electric cell. blast furnace.

and i'm slowly losing the burning desire to go out.
which is out of character.
but all the better.
rhyming couplet!
ahaha. literature.

tell me that just screams NERD!
hahaha.
i'm such a goody-two-shoes.
it's in me, i tell ya.
can't get rid of that guaiguai-ness even if i tried (real hard).
(guai as in well-behaved, not weird. god forbid)

anna stayed over last night.
i haven't seen her in 8 LONG DAYS.
had a marathon paper-doing session from 2-10pm.
then we went on a journey to get ingredients for philadelphia(*sp? where's my spellcheck man?haha.) cheesecake cause' we decided that it's the ONLY ONLY thing that would keep us sane.
but alas, there wasnt a single philadelphia cheesespread in ANY supermart or mama-shop. so we took a bus to bukitbatok and the bus-man insisted on anna paying adult fare. ass. and there is only ONE cheesespread left. thank the heavens. and again, on our trip back, anna was made to pay adult fare. we sat by the swings for abit and talked about the past, the future. till it got too itchy and late. it was almost 1am. headed back and DIDNT MAKE CHEESECAKE. sheesh. love that woman. haha.

k. it's a really ugly wordy post. but make do if you love me. haha. i can't promise photos this time since you wouldnt wanna see a sleep-exercise/fun-deprived fugly woman. haha. try again three weeks later if you must.

i'm not gonna do any more papers tonight. for the first time in my life, i'm not burning the midnight oil before a paper. but thats not to say i wont do it for bio. haha. i'm gonna read through some random bits, tie up loose ends, and sleep by 10.
try anyway.

this is it. as delia puts it, the consequences of doing badly this time isnt just a big scolding and pep talks. okay and probably a big bout of "i'm-so-stupid" tantrums.this affects your first three months. ok now reduced to a month and a half. this decides where i'm going next year.
and i hope, i pray, and i need to make it happen.

and i promise,
last thing.
i miss lini.

and i'm done.

so all the best sec4s.
we're all in this horrible shite together.

prelims

2007-08-10T21:59:00.000+08:00

prelims start on monday.
i'm scared as hell.
i know it sounds horrid, but for the first time in my life.
i think i'm stressed.
you can measure the degree of stress im under from the state of my skin.
and it's really not pretty, i tell you.
but as lini says, these 'can all be undone', no?

if you haven't studied,you've got two days left.

so suck it up ya'll.
it's time to shine.
and
show them what you've got.
you're tougher than that.

prelims

2007-07-23T20:14:00.000+08:00

so i was studying in the canteen with a super smart girl who's from the SMARTEST class today. and i told her about the STATE of my class. and can i say that i was utterly mortified at the stark contrast. very very embarassing stuff. these people/geniuses from her class cry when they get A2 for chemistry and 71/80 for emath paper 1. what about my class? i'll go out on a limb and say most of us are happy to pass chemistry or something. well, we waste our free periods away talking about whose condom fell out of whose wallet. what do you expect?this is really disturbing. why is there no sense of urgency in 4M? im more than sick of how our teachers compare 4M to the other classes, whether subtly or outrightly.they keep telling us who and who is catching up, 4M buck up. all that shizz. seriously, how much more pep talks do we need to get off our butts and get productive? we have to realise that reading our textbooks and memorising isnt enough. some people don't even know why barium sulphate and silver nitrate won't react. at the rate we're going, i'm sure more than half of 4M won't even make it to a poly.

there really is an obvious different between the so-called 'smart' class and 'not-so-smart' class. (being tactful). it doesnt sound nice, but laying out the cards like this helps sometimes. take prelim orals for example. the girls from the 'smart' class actually brought their little help books to practice. and to be honest, they arent exactly the ones who really need help. and what were we doing? well, we were convincing ourselves that bitching is a form of practicing for oral. well, some at least. but we definitely werent practicing. okay maybe huimin and liying practiced. but you know what i mean.
haiya, i sound like some condescending little mummy bitch. but it's time to wake up. if you're getting 20s for midyears and still reading harry potter or watching one tree hill, you needa start wondering what the hell you're doing. unless you're genius smart, you're probably not going to wherever you wanna go for college.
shoot me, but i feel that finishing an amath paper a day isn't smth to be proud of. you're supposed to do that and more. to make you feel even worse, the whole of 4D (with the exception of one girl apparently) has finished the orange booklet (the one with 6papers if you're completely ignorant if its existence). so it might be good to start there.
prelims are in a frightening 21days time. and O's are, in approximately 3months. i know it's hard to self-motivate. but you could try picturing your midyr results as your prelim results . or worse, your o level results. try picturing your parents' expression when they see it. or maybe someone who matters to you. then you'll hate yourself for being so stupid. for wasting your last month(s) away playing and doing nothing basically when you could have been TRYING to do something. Imagine yourself in a shitty JC with chinese-speaking ahbengs and ahlians. that might help abit.
i don't really know how to express my frustration at this situation. but i'm sure deep inside, you know what i mean. maybe it's time to do something abt it.

ahhhh okay.
i'm just feeling so annoyed with the slowwwww pace my class is prodding by now. it's so freaking close to prelims! actually, i don't even know if there is a pace at all. and i'm stressed out! the more i do, the more i feel i still got loads more to cover. i don't feel relieved when im taking a break. it's not good. i feel sorta guilty for sleeping sometimes. SORT OF. but yeah. thats my consequence for honeymooning my 3yrs of secondary school away.

argh. need to be smarter.
need to bathe.

randommm

2007-07-07T22:34:00.000+08:00

the weather's a bitch these days.
and cabs oh my goodness. i was so ready to fling myself in front of one.

on a less whiney note, my surprise was, insanely overwhelming.
haha. i love vitamins.

will put up some photos soon. hate these picture-less posts.

need.sleep.
goodnight.

evolution

2007-07-05T22:05:00.000+08:00

today during biology class, we talked about Charles Darwin's thoery on evolution. and i found that pretyt interesting. okay, i'm going to attempt to explain evolution to all you people who arent crazy about science. ATTEMPT. so don't judge.
evolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population from generation to generation. These traits are passed on to offspring during reproduction. Mutations in these genes can produce new or altered traits, resulting in heritable differences between organisms. New traits can also come from environmental influences, such as migration. Evolution occurs when these differences become more common or rare in a population.
alright fine, i got that from wikipedia, BUT i modified! so there.
haha.

sooo. i asked around on what people thought about evolution and stuff. asking around, erm, namely my siblings. haha. these are the answers i got.

yeni: do you belive in evolution?
x: yeah.
yeni: why?
x: i just do. stop asking bitch.
yeni: fine. how do you think humans came about from the beginning?
x: (looks contemplative and after a moment) a think a chocolate meteorite crashed into a wheat field on earth and POOF. koko krunch!
(laughs raucously at own joke)

__________________________________________________________

yeni: how do you think humans came about?
abc: sex.
yeni: i mean in the beginning.
abc: i duno.
yeni: k what abt evolution?
abc: HUH.

(identities are not specified to protect yeni from a tackling session. and someone in my family is rugby vice-captain mannn. not cool.)
_________________________________________________________

so i've been REALLY busy of late.
and i've got a 2day long surprise waiting for me.
can't wait cant wait!
(literary device: repetition for emphasis)
okay imma nut.

gonna bathe.

pool

2007-07-02T03:42:00.000+08:00

oh god.
i'm so hopeless at pool.
i'm un(fking)believable.
vitual or non-virtual.
i'm probably better at french.
and nope, it's not my third language.
nor my second.
HAHAHA.

shoppin with anna

2007-06-24T23:11:00.000+08:00

school starts tomorrow. or more accurately, in abt 6hours time. strangely, i haven't got the usual feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. we-ll, of course i have undone homework. but it's chinese. so.. let's not go there.

so anna and i indulged in some retail therapy yesterday. we shopped for a grand total of 10 hours. non-stop. yep, not even a toilet break. impressive or what. hahaha. and am i glad that i didn't wear heels. because the MNG sale was completely INSANE. really, it was a freaking madhouse in there. and we joined in! reminded me of that Great Singapore Sale advert with the two women putting on rugby gear to fend off the expected mayhem. smart move too.hahaha. it was incredibly packed and noisy and uncivillised. there were women everydamnwhere. clothes were all over the place. there wasnt only a queue for the fitting rooms, but there was a queue for the freaking mirror alright. seriously, people were fighting for the mirrors OUTSIDE the fitting room. they were trying on their stuff there. like. 'choping' the mirror and 'lap'ing their clothes over.

'choping' like reserving.
'lap'ing like throwing over the clothes over what they're wearing.

terribly auntie, but i did it too. heh heh. yes, there was a time when my mum told me to just 'lap' it over. and i thought it was so distasteful. but seeing as the queue for the fitting room was to the cashier and back, i didn't have much of a choice. i had about ten pieces, and i was only allowed five pieces. so i decided to choose what i could try on in front of the mirror. so yeap, i 'lap'ed it on and eliminated. then anna and i queued for abt half an hour or so.

crazy shizz.

that's about half the line. i was bored waiting. and i actually got a bruise from a lady who kneed me. i won't rule out that it was intentional alright. but it was a battlefield out there. vicious lot all of them women.

then from orchard we headed to vivo city and finally found our dresses there.

we didn't have much time or energy to cam whore during that whole time. we were constantly like, 'okay where to now?' and all that. it's was so fun. she's the bestest shopping partner man. okay next to lini dearest. hahaha. but anna and i had to limit ourselves not to buy anything till 7pm. so as to lower the chances of regretting our buys after seeing something better and cheaper. haha.

this one's after getting our dresses. think it's the only decent one? hahaha. in which i don't look sick or ugly next to anna. damn why am i not photogenic. or rather, why do i mix with too photogenic people. coughlinicough.

and anna's coolio shoes.how could i forget. i can't believe i didn't make the connection. alright anna and i have got to keep it to ourselves. but yeah. let's just say i was really tired and didn't notice her shoes till she told me. and so exhausted we both made the SAME calculation error.

3.50 + 7.90 = 11.12??
heh heh. what were we thinking. probably weren't..

got home exhausted, aching and starving. but extremely satisfied. i'm actually aching k. but it's okay. cause' this'll probably be the last shopping trip in awhile. a pity since i still want sooo many things. k since when do i not. heh heh.

and today. plenty of people came to view the house. moving to a new place soon. god i can't wait. i just need a bustop outside the place and i'll be satisfied. maybe then i'll stop being late all the time. heh heh. my only requirement. and of course not to be living at the top of a hill again. oh and hopefully a gym. heh heh. okay i need to stop and go to bed now.

so, to all you school-going people. i share your joy.

haha. good night.

P.S. where are you siew suet lin. linsypoop.

and yes, i was up early enough.
and yewi had the remote control.
so yes, i was tuned in to kids central.
haha.

so anyway, i was just wondering.

what happened to Misty?
cos' you know, i always thought it was Ash, Misty and Brook.
in her place is some girl called May.
and another little kid, May's brother, some smarty pants.

so why did Misty go, and how?
did she get married or something?

ah. and does anyone notice?
that in all these cartoon thingies,
the girls all have, ample assets.

why why why? that ain't an accurate.
what happened to the unfortunate flat girls?
why are they deprived of screen time huh?
pshhh.

weird quotes

2007-06-18T02:39:00.000+08:00

let's just say that i am incredibly disheartened doing my math booklet. i'm just gonna do some chinese and chemistry and try to feel abit smarter. argh. the thing is, i don't hate math. i actually like doing it when i actually know what i'm doing. but when i'm up to my neck in frustration, then i wish amath didn't exist. i'm fickle like that. haha.

so, just for a laugh, i decided to put up weird quotes i've heard just to show you how weird the people i mix with are. heh heh.

- my sweet sweet sixteen. haha. i'll give a proper update when i've gotten all my presents. yes i'm 'tsktsk'ing you, yes you. where's my gift? HAHA.

damn i hope i didn't miss anyone out.
but yeah.you guys really made my day special.
i was queen of the day!
haha.

y'know of late, every time i log on, i get sooo distracted by other things/people. but no more! i'm gonna try to settle into a routine. preferably a routine that involves regular runs, revisions and updates. haha.

so. now that i've got the updating part done (ah expect photos soon).
solely for the benefit of those who care abt what i'm doing in tiny teeny boring ol Sg. aww..
let's move on to something more amusing.

erm. in the next post.
i promise.

2007-05-26T18:49:00.000+08:00

Have you ever wondered..

1) Why we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?

2) Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

3) Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

4) Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?

5) If it's true that we are here to help others, what are the others doing here?

6) Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer?

7) Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"

8) Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there... I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta it's bum."

9) Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

10) Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is?

11)If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests? (This one kills me !!!!)

12) If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables,then what is baby oil made from ?

13) Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

Stop singing and read on

14) Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?

and..

Three interesting new words:

Brouhaha [brOO hA hA] (i'm not trying to be ah lian-ish, i promise) : a hubbub. an uproar. hullabaloo.
The brouhaha followed disclosures of graft at City Hall.

Misogynistic [me soj uh nee is tick] : hatred or dislike for women; prejudice against women.
Certain religions or cultures have misogynistic qualities.

Gauche [gosh] : lacking social grace, sensitivity, or acuteness ; awkward
Their exquisite manners always make me feel gauche.

cool huh.

with that,
good night sweetums.

randomm

2007-05-25T22:58:00.000+08:00

men grow cold

as girls grow old

we all lose our charms

in the end.

i need.. something.

but i can't quite place it.

broken toe

2007-05-24T23:21:00.000+08:00

At the risk of sounding absolutely loco..
I think i broke my little toe.

hah!
wadja know.
It rhymes!

but really,
i was wearing slippers and i walked into a runaway brick on the floor.
Hurt like hell.

Ah.
Anyway, my blog's been looking so drab.
I'll put on some photos soon.
And when i get inspiration, i'll put up a list.

And for all those having Chinese O's on the 28th,
ALL THE BEST man.
During the weekend, just
read chinese
speak chinese
listen to chinese
study chinese
eat chinese
breathe chinese

Then you'll be fine.

And all those having exams in a bit,
namely whoever's in Aust,
all the way!
You'll feel so depressed and busy and tired and fat and ugly and unhealthy.
But it's okay, it's part and parcel of life honey.
You'll get your life back in no time.

Haha, i'm so comforting.

But still, study hard anyway.

gobbledygook

2007-05-24T00:09:00.000+08:00

Let's try most exasperating day ever.

Excuse me but please do pardon me.
Skip the damn paragraph if whiney brats annoy you cause i'm about to do just that:
Be a whiney brat.

Maybe it's cause i've either got a stuffed or a runny nose 95% of the time.
Or maybe cause I had to do a chinese composition at 8am in the morning.
Or maybe cause i had to wait for two hours before my EZ-Link card got fixed cause my card expired for no reason and they charged me adult fare for about two weeks and even after waiting i still didnt get my refund cause it had to be within 5 working days. (i have no idea if you understood that cause my sentence was way too long. but i'm past caring about the accuracy of my language now.)
Or maybe cause my dad left for m'sia without saying bye to me and i miss him alot.
Or maybe cause i barely had three hours of sleep cause i couldnt sleep.
Or maybe cause my laptop conked out on me twice before i could come on here to rant.
Or maybe cause today (especially) I lacked adequate spatial judgement which resulted in a lot of (unnecessary) bruises (three?).
Or maybe cause there's this noisy beetle flying around my room blindly and annoying (/scaring) the crap outta me.

But suddenly, everything and everyone seems to be annoying me.
I swear i'm not pre-menstrual.
And there seems to be a tad too many things on my mind.

I'll be a little bit incoherent.
After all, I haven't written gobbledygook in awhile.( blog address you inobservant one)

You know how you sometimes wanna do something even though you know it's wrong?
Just so you how it feels. Or just because it MIGHT work out.
You wanna listen to your gut and disregard the logical part of you.
Even if the consequences are ugly, you just feel like doing it so bad.
Maybe just to see how it turns out.
Kinda like listening to emo songs after a break up.
Or not studying for a test. ( you might still ace it cause you listen in class?)
Or looking at your ex's friendster profile even if you're supposed to forget her/him.
Or cutting your hair on a whim without research.

The things you do when you listen to your heart/intuition.
whatever woman are supposed to be in tune to.
Or whatever men believe they are in tune to as well, just to a more limited extent.
I suppose okay, don't stone me.

Do you believe in following your heart or your mind then?
The most cliche answer to this would of course be to
" follow your heart".
Tried and tested and fail-proof?
Not at all.
Better to have loved and lost, then have not loved at all?
Bullshit.
How responsible is it to get into something knowing that it wouldnt last?
Pretty damn irresponsible if you ask me.
There are exceptions i always convince myself.
Then end up beating myself up after it.
haha.
These are the sort of, things that's been whirling in my head for a bit now.
I just fancy torturing myself.
Don't mind me attempting to torture you too.
haha.
Or don't mind if you don't understand either.
It's sorta disjointed.

Oh!
I just rmbed a conversation i erm, happened to overhear on the bus today.
Two women in their thirties discussing their men.
I'll bet a a hundred bucks that they aren't married and haven't really been well, lucky in love.
Yet.

It goes something like..

Lady A: I mean Leonard's rich and nice to me. But he's overweight. But that's not supposed to bother you when you're in your thirties. But he looks at other women. That's unforgivable right?

Lady B: I think it's fine. You can't have everything la.

Lady A: But he gets angry when i tell him another guy is cute. But it's okay for him to look. And i've been dating him for 3months. But when i ask him if he can rmb my number, he says no and grins and asks me if i can. When i admit that i can't, then he gets all wounded-looking.

Lady B: Men's pride. Men are selfish people.

("Creatures" i mentally add)

Lady A: Ya ya! Then i told him he was being unreasonable and he apologised profusedly. Which turned me off. Men just cannot win can they? (laughs)

("that's cause women are confused as to what they want from time to time. Throwing men off track.)

Lady B: Aiya, they are just daft to me.

Lady A: I know I shouldn't be so supercifial, but honestly, his weight bothers me. I know it's not supposed to cos i'm fat too (she isn't), and i feel guilty.

Lady B: It's okay. It's normal. I'll mind too secretly. (she's kinda, erm, pudgy)

Heh. somehow i just remembered this conversation.
I kept whispering my opinion to my friend with me and he kept shushing me. haha.
Ok, i'm just being random.
Ignore it.

Okok,
I promise
a new list coming up soon.
Something that will make my readers laugh k?
No more indecipherable gobbledygook.
With that,

good night sunshine.

weird

2007-05-22T22:33:00.000+08:00

I've been sleeping a lot lately.
I feel strangely, unproductive.
I think i'll start revision again soon.
To avoid unnecessary stress in future.
Stone me, but somehow I miss doing math.
The unproductiveness gets to me.

Though i don't understand how doing sooo much chinese could actually improve your chinese.
My laoshi has has honestly gone loco.
Well, she's driving me loco too really.
5 zuo wens, 1 book review and 4 (5?) test papers.
It's absurd!
I don't even work so hard for chemistry!

I watched a movie today.
A la folie.
He loves me, he loves me not.
And boy was it disturbing.
It's a good movie.
Shan't succumb to my need to ramble about it.
Cos it's worth a watch.
Go watch it.

I have this friend.
And he is suicidal.
I wasn't very close to him before really.
So it makes me feel really uneasy.
And i'm not exactly, erm, the most comforting person on earth actually.
Or as someone once put it, i don't go around "holding people's hands".
haha.
I think, i am becoming heartless.
I have no sympathy for him.
It's like he brought it on himself.
Or that he is weak.
Whatever it is, i'm not kind enough to understand it.
And it irks me, because
i think i should be.

okok, im just being weird tonight.
pardon me.

sleep debt

2007-05-20T00:37:00.000+08:00

i have been incredibly busy of late.
what have i been doing you ask?
busy repaying my sleep debt of course!

i've slept for a grand total of

14 HOURS.

man, if that doesn't just scream..

SLEEPING BEAUTY! (/pig!)

i don't know what does.

busy day tomorrow.
and no, no more repaying of debts.

but for now, i'm going to bed.
and now now,
don't you widen your eyes at me again.
i'm not mad.
its 3am k. it's normal.
i'm just trying to revert back to normal sleeping hours.
but of course, "yeni is sleeping Again cos she's a pig might suffice".

i'll bet the latter to be the unanimous pick.
oh the criticalness.
i'm off to bed.

exam update

2007-05-16T15:00:00.000+08:00

i cannot wait for friday.

perhaps with a ton of careless mistakes.
(oh honey lets not kid ourselves!)
heh.

i've been indulging in really
unhealthy sleeping habits of late.
actually
lets just say that my sleeping habits are
non-existant.
hehheh.

need proof?
we-ll, i look like shite for one.
my skin's so bad and, my my
don't get me started on the eyebags.

but who can i blame but myself.
and the procrastination devil ofcourse.

i am going for a sleep marathon this friday.
i'll probably sleep from fri till sat 10pm.
and get up just in time for the jd modelling agency.
:) doesnt it just scream PIG!
hahaha. but c'mon. there's sucha thing called
SLEEP DEBT.
or i heard.

so here are some things that happened to me that PROVES that i need sleep:

1.tueday night

tuition teacher: aiyo, what happened to you?
(whatever happened to "have you had dinner?")
me: huh. wadya mean?
him: you look so tired. did you even sleep last night?

me: err, yeah. anyway....let's move on.

2. wed morning

melli: yeah they look that part too.

3. my brother's gotten me hooked on soccer.

oh i mean, on the ps2. haha. two different stories right?
i know.
hahaha. but seriously? soccer! i need a break.
i'm so bad i'd settle for any sort of entertainment.
heh. and i can't believe i actually know who Patrick Vieira andThierry Henry are.
okay men out there. stop laughing.
i AM female afterall. im not expected to know soccer players.

4. even my dad!
dad: go sleep now. else you'll complain to me that
you need money to buy
some more expensive face cream.

after my nap.

2007-04-28T00:22:00.000+08:00

looks like i've gotta break my hiatus.
so much for will-power.
heh.
this week has been, pretty eventful.
regardless of the approaching midyears.
haha.
i was just looking thru my old emails and came across this one.
it's sweet.
hope you enjoy this as much as i do.
read it slowly and savour it.

(courtesy of jeann.)
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca- age 8

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." Bobby - age 7

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate," Nikka - age 6

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday." Noelle - age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore." Cindy - age 8

"My mommy loves me more than anybody . You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." Clare - age 6

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine-age 5

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Brad Pitt ." Chris - age 7

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." Mary Ann - age 4

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." (hahaha!lini must love me ALOT.) Lauren - age 4

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." Karen - age 7

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." Jessica - age 8

hiatus.

2007-04-21T19:43:00.000+08:00

it's time for a

HIATUS

–noun, plural -tus·es, -tus.

1. a break or interruption in the continuity of a work, series, action, etc.

2. a missing part; gap or lacuna: Scholars attempted to account for the hiatus in the medieval manuscript.

3. any gap or opening.

4. Grammar, Prosody. the coming together, with or without break or slight pause, and without contraction, of two vowels in successive words or syllables, as in see easily.

5. Anatomy. a natural fissure, cleft, or foramen in a bone or other structure.

those of you who actually care are either the people who
a) are really really bored
b) really really love reading about my life.
in this case, nothing much.
just midyears.
pshh.
so till then,
go find some other source of entertainment.
if you're lucky though,
i might just be tempted to come online and post another oh-so-delicious list.
so, keep waiting.

metro guy

2007-04-15T02:04:00.000+08:00

today i had my last indulgence till midyears.
possible the last time till my sweet sixteen too.
anna and i went shopping : )

and no, my male readers, don't you worry cos i'm not about to bore you with the intricate details of my shopping trip. and no, my female readers, i'm not about to make you swoon with envy either. haha. instead, lemme tell you about smth interesting that happened today.
i was on my way home rushing back to catch the janice dickinson modelling agency show and was at clementi interchange.

i didn't even realise i was staring. or rather, i thought i was staring inconspicuously.-_- but there was this pretty hunky chinese guy in a slightly oversized brown jacket, black skinny jeans, black high-top converse sneakers, black-rimmed glasses, a black mesh cap and was carrying a black Zinc tote-like bag.
and he was, okay let's put it this way, effeminate. if you know what i mean.
so i was starring while walking and suddenly he looked at me. so i quickly looked away. then he actually walked up to me.for 3secs, i thought he was gonna say

"kuah simi? qian bian ah?"

(i hope i did it right. but it means : what are you looking at? want a beating?)

or smth along those lines.
BUT instead,here's what happened..

he*duck voiced : eh s'cuse me. i was wondering, were you starring because i looked weird?
(you betcha!)
and i was shocked! damn shocked!

me: erm. i guess so? to me.
( i was tempted to say no and let it pass.)

him: (looks appalled ) in what way?

me: erm. i think your jeans are kinda, alil too tapered at the ankles. and erm, your bag doesnt fit. maybe do one of those crumpler-style bags instead?

him: (self-consciously) oh. okay. but is it very bad?

me: oh. no la. just alil bit.
(i lied. forgive me.)

him: oh okay. thank you.
(and he tittered off worriedly.)

gosh. how often do things like that happen man.

qn: tell me, what's worse than a huge red zit on your cheek?
ans: two of them.

siblings

2007-04-13T19:12:00.000+08:00

to answer my dear rosaline,

here's another one of my special (and hopefully interesting) lists.

just so you all know, all of these are real-life experiences.
and no prizes for guessing, who did what to who.

ALRIGHT.

as you all know, i have a LARGE family. sorta.

full of wacko, colourful people. definitely.

and growing up, we did many unspeakable, unglam and (seemingly)un-yeni deeds to each other.

so, without further ado, and to provide all your faithful readers with another dose of yeni stories,

here goes:

the weirdest things siblings do to each other:

1. siblings take unglam photos of you (and post it on their blogs).

2. siblings play "kidnap" by stripping you of your pants and using that to tie you up. h a h a h a. scroll down for photos.

3. siblings(brothers esp) mercilessly play WWE with you(physically weaker sisters).

4. siblings take advantage of your innocence. eg. they tell you that you get paid $8 an hour for "pumping petrol" for the MRT trains. (and if you don't see what's wrong with that, then.. we-ll. haha.go ask someone smarter to explain.)

5. siblings break your heels and finish your toner and moisturiser and lipbalm in record time.

6. siblings gang up against you and only let you, outcasted one, join the league if you suck their big toes.

7. siblings borrow money from each other but always end up "forgetting" to return it.

8. siblings then always CLAIM that you owe them huge amounts of money, in front of your friends.

9. siblings always declare how you leave your bras and knickers around the room to your male friends.

10. siblings use zig markers to to write "i love (insert crush's name)" on the soles of your feet, so that when you obliviously get up and go for ballet class barefooted, everybody sees and laughs at you and you never ever know who the culprit is until 2 years later.

HOWEVER, they also..

11. cover up for you when you surpass your curfew.

12. lend you cash and (hopefully but rarely) forget about it soon after.

13. tell you when you look fat/weird (damn tactlessly too)

14. help catch the bugs in the room for you.

15. help lie that you're asleep or in the toilet to fend off unwanted callers.

16. teach you what google accounts, friendster accounts and blogger accounts are and keep it a secret.

17. teach you how to shave and put on make up. or you watch and learn anyhow.

18. share their clothes, shoes, makeup, accesories and possibly, undergarments with you.

19. keep you company for life. you actually, don't really have a choice.

20. got your back no matter what they, no matter how deny.

i therefore conclude.

siblings, sometimes you absolutely can't live with them, but most of the time, you just can't live them.

good friday + easter 07'

2007-04-08T22:58:00.000+08:00

you know how it is when you have so many things to say till everything is kinda messed up cos you don't really know and can't really decide what to start with?
(it might just be me cos im too damn talkative, but that isn't the point.)

then you know it's time to write a draft. but since this isn't a graded essay, i'll just post the photos and talk you through them.

bugs

2007-04-08T00:25:00.001+08:00

till this day, it still BUGS me.

i was in Thailand for a mission trip. (hoho!)
and we were supposed to go onstage to sing two songs.
the stage was quite big.
but the thing is, the lights were very low.
and you know how flying things always buzzes around the lights.
yeah.

i went onstage and my heart stopped.
you know how i'm "seemingly fearless" and all "garang' and all that jazz.
but a bug reduces me to a, nothingness.
really. it's embarassing.

the floor of the stage ladden with bugs of all sorts, in all conditions.
dead, alive, a few legs missing, flying, crawling, spotted, translucent, winged, shelled and whatnot.
i took a deep breath and convinced myself that this isnt the time to be a girl about it.
so i went onstage and had the "honours" of being in the front row, perks of being my height you see.
and you know how there are lights at the front of the stage.
i was beside it. and there were grasshoppers, spiders, huge ant-sy thigies, beetles, and many others i cant identify.
and much to me disgust, most of the insects there had relatively bad eyesight.
seeing as they kept flying into me, yeah, they had to be pretty damn blind.
and it didn't help that i was standing in the front and had to maintain a cool composure and not wiggle around. and not screaming was already, very much of a huge effort.

so we started singing.

i could feel bugs, see bugs, hear bugs. thank god i couldnt taste them.
they kept flying into my face and crawling on my neck. it was so traumatizing. and i couldn't swipe them off cos it was disrespectful to the thais, sorta. thank god for the kind soul behide me who discreetly picked the bugs off my neck and HAIR. gasp!.
and you know, i really was singing despite the fact that i felt like i was in an episode of Fear Factor. i was smiling like i should and trying to maintain eye contact with some of the audience. then suddenly, smth caught my eye. i looked down and i saw this thing that looked like a corss between a grasshopper and a stick-insect on my hip.
it's eye were staring straight at me, feelers wiggling back and forth.
it took all of me not to cry.
i have no idea what on earth possessed me what to do next and how i did it. seeing as how i exterminate insects now ( i refuse to touch it, i don't even pick it up with a tissue. i just smack it with a slipper or smth thick so i don't have to touch it at all and leave it there and seduce someone into ridding it for me), i don't know how i managed to swipe off the thing with my bare hands. and away it flew, onto the thigh of the person beside. and i swear, guilt consumed me when i saw his reaction.

when i got off stage, i NEEDED to go to the toilet urgently, to wash my face and hands and wash up basically. and i am ashamed to admit, but i really wanted to cry. but even more shamefaced, i feel pretty damn proud of myself for going through that without crying! *beams
that night, when i undressed for bath, i combed 2 bugs outta my hair, 2 in my sleeves(i folded my sleeves up cos it was too long), and 3 in my sports bra (what lecherous bugs yeh? and lucky too i'd add. dying in my bosoms. hah!). oh just kill me. i feel so icky when i remember.

and Now you realise the extent of it huh.

till this day, when i think back. i still feel shivers running down my spine. and my neck gets all itchy and i get all paranoid that there are bugs on my neck.

i am fully aware how dreadfully, sickeningly bimbotic i sound in this post. but hell, i am terrified of bugs. i know the thing about bugs being smaller than humans and all that jazz, but still!
and i promise, this story is based on the very true experience and that im not being dramatic in any way whatsoever. you can ask lini!
i have not exaggerated, dramatised or embellished any facts in any way.

so you know why i hate bugs.
and nah, yeni ain't fearless.
never was, never will be.
it's just the damn bugs la.
arg!

anyway, this is the very entertaining( h a h a h a !) and hair-raising(you betcha!) bug story i promised..
and i promise,
something serious soon.

with that,
goodnight sweetums :)

random

2007-04-03T01:08:00.000+08:00

yes i am aware that i haven't updated in the longest time.
only leaving my dear faithful readers with a crappy cartoon to contend with.
haha!

the past few days have been crazy.
what with dance dance and tests and whatnot.
i'll post pictures of dance dance and horrible usher stories to amuse y'all soon.
meanwhile, i'll update on the last two days.

sunday night:
the night i faced my fears.
for most of you who know me well enough,
you'd know how a single bug can reduce me into a screaming mess by just fluttering it's wings.(for beetles, albeit their noisy ones.)
on sunday night. joey, my regular, trusty bug-terminator left me to fend for myself.
we had discovered the beetle at 9pm at night. he caught it effortlessly and was having a ball of a time torturing it when it flew outta the bowl and back into my room.
it was in the lights.
unable to do anything, joey promised to get it for me when it was within reach.
at 1am, my mum saw the beetle on my cupboard and caught it in a tissue. she had one foot outta the door when the thing flew outta her grip. she quicky shut the door and assured me that it was out.
HOWEVER, at 2:30am that night. just as i was about to switch of the lights, there it was, beside the switch. i swear, it was like meeting my crush.
adrenaline rush.(preparing for fight or flight?)
being a bio student, allow me to flaunt.
increased heart rate, arterioles constrict causing pallor, pupils dilate, increased glucose levels.
okay enough, im being dramatic.
then i decided, it was up to me to get rid of it if i don't want it flying into my mouth while i sleep.
incapable of contact with it, i refused to use the normal way of ridding bugs(the tissue way).
i used the squishing way. i used a tissue box and slammed real hard. and i swear, the squashing sound still traumatizes me. arg. reminds me of the bug experience in thailand.
i'll tell you abt that soon.
and after that, i just let go of the box and just switched off the lights and slept.
i couldnt bear to clear it up.
i begged joey to help me the next morning.
arg.yuk.
and you know, i have no idea why i vounteered this sick and pointless story.

okay moving on..

monday:
dreary dreary monday. aren't most mondays, if not all.
my only consolation?
it's a four day week!
haha. anyway, it's DJW (Discover Jesus Week) in MGS! hurrah.
no first periods till thurs!
haha.
anyway.
three things today:
1. good looks gets you to alot of places, if not, everywhere.
2. i was hugely amused during biology class today by how plants reproduced (have sex, to put it very very simply) and not to mention, kinda grossed out at the thought of eating the ovary of the plant. i know, i border on bimbotic by saying that. but really. this IS my blog. haha.
3. my lao shi spent an excruciating 40mins going thru ONE composition. whoever wrote it, pls, slaughter her.

anyway. the first point is the one that matters today.
for DJW, we had a caucasian pastor, and he's kinda, cute. and the way he speaks, i lke..
it's planned i tell you.
specially to make us pay attention during chapel.
cheap tactic,
but it works! haha.
normally, chapel time is snoozing time cos it's a monday morning. DOH.
BUT, today, the congregation was surprisingly energetic and engaged.
hah! no prizes for guessing why.
but here are cases that triggered this post.

case study 1:
anna and i were bored outta our minds and observing and scrustinising people. this gal, lets call her J, walked by and was all bouncy and noisy. she jumped around and laughed boisterously. her redeeming point, she was pretty. then, suddenly, she reminded me of this other gal, D. she was okay, i'll give it to you, ugly, to me at least. there isnt another way to go around it. J's actions were almost identical to D's, yet we didn't deem it "annoying, irritating, spastic, retarded". it's the same thing as a pretty girl who flirts wildly, and an ugly/fat one who does the same thing. which is a turn off?

case study 2:
the cute pastor today got away with absolutely everything today. all his lame jokes, lame games. and even though we could hardly rmb his message, im sure most of us wouldnt mind his returning to us. ha ha ha. he played this game which required the whole hall to stand up, and we were on our feet within 5 secs. which is really, a feat, considering we take about all of 15secs usually since half of us are snoozing. and all his lame jokes, we laughed, he lame games, we played. however, the same behaviour wouldnt be tolerated by say, a skinny gawky pastor with acne, wearing a yellow flower-printed shirt, would it?

haha.
life is unfair, ain't it?
and i am acutely aware that
i dun sound too convincing.
but considering that it's 2am and that my brain's full of BIOLOGY, what with synapses, intermediate neurones, photoreceptors and islets of langerhan.
i declare myself forgiven.
ha ha.
good night sunshines.
i'll post something coherent soon.
cross my heart.

joke

2007-03-28T23:30:00.000+08:00

HA HA!

no idea why this amuses me so much.
i'll be back soon with a smarter post.
meanwhile, chemistry test tmr.
just shoot me alr.

2007-03-25T22:27:00.000+08:00

thank you.

good night sunshine : )

sea games

2007-03-25T00:34:00.000+08:00

some very appropriate words to describe today would be :

eventful, emotional & productive.

for a start, i woke up at 6:40am. and i was like, man. i don't feel like going to school. cos there was some interclass competition of sorts this morning.it's actually the Mgs Sea Games 07'. i know it sounds kinda lame but it was really fun actually. we had three Olympic Games namely handball benchball and floorball. but yeah, back to 6:40 am this morning. i was supp to be in school at 7:20. but i rolled ard in bed till 7:30. then guilt got the better of me and i headed to school. and boy, were they glad to see me. you know why? not cos im great at benchball handball and floorball or anything. it's cos only HALF the class turned up. 15 out of 29 people. we barely had enough people for every game. okay scrap that. we DID NOT have enough people for all the games. we were like playing non-stop for god knows how many hours under the scorching sun. i'm sunburnt now : ( really. it was like after this we have that right after. we had breaks though. yeah. one minute ones. -_- but in the end, we won 4th for floorball, 3rd for handball and 1ST FOR BENCHBALL. and trust me, with only half the class there, that is a huge feat. draggin myself outta bed this morning for sea games is definitely smth i dont regret. honestly. we had to go ard negotiating with people to wait for us to finish the game. had to suffer a walkover becos we din have enough players to go ard. people cried. people bitched. but mostly, we all had fun. well, i did.

it was emotional in the sense that, i dunno. people were, kinda touchy. like how *** was very affected by the irresponsible behaviour of our class. which is understandable. i believe those people who missed the games deliberately should be deeply ashamed of yourself. you may have excuses, you may have MCs. but inside, you are the one who know. the only reason i pulled my heavy ass outta bed this morning was cos i was accountable to 4M. i knew i had responsibilities to fulfil. i had to play for my class. i had to contribute to the class. and really, like *** said, i can't believe there can be such irresponsible people in the world. BUT, i guess there will always be people like that ard. selfish, self-centred. not giving a damn if it doesnt benefit them. guess you just gotta learn how to be responsible for your own actions. and make the best out of everything. yeah.

but i'll nv forget winning the benchball game. it was absolutely electrifying. how everybody held on to everybody on the bench was so heartwarming. the teamwork. the defense. the intercepting. everything was so damn good. haha. im so proud of my class. and i'll nv forget the last ball. chow threw and i just stuck my hand out. and omg, the ball was in my arms.

oh sweet victory.

hahaha. we howled and screamed and jumped and hugged and laughed and cried and everything. wow. it was so..surreal.

like, everything paid off finally.

haha.

we sneaked off after the last game and gave the prize-giving ceremony a miss.

but it wasnt too bad.

considering how accident prone i am and how mercilessly aggressive SOME (bull-like) people were during the games, two bruises on my arm and blisters on my feet aren't all that bad. oh, gettin all the wind knocked outta me when i was shouldered was pretty bad though. but yeah.

and you know, everytime the ball comes nearer, i'd like hyperventilate or something. really.

but who cares.

we won din we?

even with half the class and all.

after reaching home,i looked into the mirror and couldnt help thinking like i looked like i just took a shower with my clothes on. haha. my mum went for the parents-teacher conference. and really, im impresses with myself! haha. perhaps the teachers were merciful. but nonetheless. all went well. my mum was pleased. haha. i actually planned to go church. but i fell asleep. surprise surprise. only got up when lydia called me. i looked at the clock and panicked. thank god she was smart enough to stay at home. haha. though i was still half an hour late in meetin her after setting a new meeting time. heh heh. im sorry. im just horrendous at punctuality.

we were relatively productive. she got all that she needed. likewise for me. haha. i had alot of fun really.

and lydia is soo weird. she is older than me, but i treat her like she's younger. haha. i ALWAYS have to takecare of that woman! you and your obssession with tofu heads and chins and whatnot. and she keeps calling me a male omg! just becos i nv played with toys since i was young cos i dont like them, and still do NOT like stuff toys doesnt make me male. okay granted, i took an online quiz that deems me only 55% female which i am POSITIVE isn't accurate, i am still in actual fact, very very female, albeit a sporty one.

ah. and i AM not being defensive.

dun i look very female to you?

haha. this IS a rhetorical qn btw.

okay and since i FINALLY uploaded the thingy and photos.

here's a rare treat : )

my first picture. testing the lighting. and i swear, i dun usually take pictures of myself in the mirror. just a, erm, rare indulgence. hahaha.

ha ha! lydia. she's kinda cute yeah?

during the march holidays. i was HARD AT WORK okay.

something about this photo that hits home.

we look kinda strange here.

this candy machine thing is sooo adorable. so much more useful than stuffed toys. it's from action city. but nah, i wouldnt spend money on it. im sorry. i dun really like candy. though it LOOKS hell good yeah. haha.

ahhhh.gasp gasp hyperventilate. this is just TOO pretty. oh god. it's from Alternatives at Heerens. now THIS is what i'd call,

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

oh man oh man oh man.

see something you like miss?

oh my.speaking of which. i saw a pair of gorgeous porcelain earrings and soo many tops caught my fancy. well, too many.

haha. and to end off the day, something unusual happened on my way home.

due to the fact that i live in a very ulu area that requires a ten mintue walk in from the bustop, i haven really walked home alone after 8pm since i was about, erm, i duno. 12? yeah. even when i went out with anna, she walked me up! haha. i know i know. i am loved. but yeah. i thought tonight would be a first since i went out with LYDIA. so i boarded the bus and minded my own business. and i got off, went to 7-11 and started the walk up the HILL. then i realised there was this guy behind me who bore an uncanny resemblance to samuel yu. he was decent looking actually. i thought he just lived ard the area and i just shrugged it off. then he walked beside me and spoke to me. here's how our conversation went, kind of.

him: hey.

me: erm. yes?

him: i was just wondering, what is a pretty girl like you doing walking home yourself so late?

me: does that concern you?

him: well. considering i've been wanting to speak to you since you boarded the bus, i was just wondering if you'd give me to honour of letting me walk you home?

me: im sorry, but i really shouldn't talk to strangers.

him: oh. im ryan. and im 17 this year. you are..?

me: i am going home. myself. thank you for offering though.

(by this time, i'm alr nearing the gate)

him: oh i'm sorry. i really didn't mean to scare you.

me: well, the act of following me from the bus scares me. and i'm home now. so technically. you sent me home. so, thank you. and see ya.

him: oh wait. i was just wondering. if you don't have a boyfriend, would you mind exchanging numbers with me? nothing much, just to be friends.

me: thanks but no thanks. i'd rather we stay strangers. thank you and gnite ryan.

him: gnite babe.

haha!

that is such a bad way to pick girls up.

pls do refrain from doing it.

actually, i should come up with a list on that huh?

haha.soon soon.

with that,

gnite sweetums.

i thought too much of you.

you disapoint me.

turn offs

2007-03-23T22:02:00.000+08:00

this is a friday.
and therefore gives me the liberty to put up rubbish posts.
so with that, i present to you a new list.
hope it makes your sides split as much as it did for my sides.
hah!
enjoy.

the

very short list of

different types

major turns-offs

(males)

1. The Hanky Guy

i'm not talking about the sort of oozing with charm middle-aged richard gere-estque kinda men who carries crisp white hankies and whips them out of their back pockets should their female companion be unable to find a tissue in time. i am, most unfortunately, talking about the skinny hunchbacked guys who keep their crumpled (possibly mucus-filled) hankies in their pockets, together with their wallets and handphones. eew. they usually wear glasses that constantly slip down their noses too. haha. lydia and i couldn't decide which was worse: wiping his sweat or blowing his nose (loudly). try imagining.

2. The Penguin

you know what im talking about, don't you. the guys who walks with his feet is a constant "V". like happy feet. heh. i couldnt decide if the north-south-east-west swaggerers were worst. you decide.

3. The Crybaby

hey. i'm all for male sensitivity and all. but honestly, can you imagine a guy tearing up over a movie when you come out of the theatre all dry-eyed? it's so wrong. it's a perversion of nature of some sort. haha. somehow, the sight of a sobbing male, is painful to watch. excruciating even. sniff sniff, whatever happened to the MEN who shed blood and not tears.

4. The Pink V-neck top Guy

i shall assume that no explanation is needed for this.

5. The Nipple Guy

imagine short muscular guy in a white singlet.and smack in the middle, a NIPPLE. eew. heard of nipple tape?

6. The (white-based) Sports Shoes Guy

sports shoes are meant for sports and nothing else honey. no buts.

7. The Tote-Bag guy

pls tell me you know what's a tote.

yeah. that's a Coach tote. and imagine that on your guy.

no further elaboration required.

8. The Sloppy One

i'm thinking jeans and slippers. or sandals even. berms CAN work with sneakers. with slippers too. but jeans must ALWAYS ALWAYS go with shoes of some sort.

9. Mr Oil-Blotter

haha! this cracks me up so bad. hahaha. i heard a story once. a gf took out an oil blotter in public and starting blotting her own face, mistake number 1. mistake number 2, the bf asks her for one. hahaha! dun cringe just yet. mistake number 3, he blots, helps himself to a second. and THEN, he presents his "masterpiece(s)" to his gf. like, "see! these sheets of blue paper contains my oil.TAKE IT!" hahaha! cue cringe.

10. The Cologne Lover

you know how sometimes when you walk past a guy, and a second later, you hit this invisible wall of cologne. i mean, cologne smells good when it's subtle. but too much, makes you feel like throwing up.

11. The Handphone Pouch Guy
haha. LOUD ringtone on the bus, and he whips his handphone POUCH from his pocket. if you absolutely Insist on a pouch, which in itself alr sounds strange, opt for simpler ones. less gay. trust me.

12. The Narcissist
walk past a mirror, touch his hair. another mirror, his face. another mirror, his hair again. i mean, seriously, i can't see a strand of hair that's out of place. you know you need help when you take longer than your gf in the public washrooms. and you DO need immediate attention if she's been waiting for abt 20mins. (unless you've been doing, erm, other stuff in the washroom that doesn't require the mirror. in this case, you're excused).

13. The Duck-(voiced)
heh heh.lydia's personal favourite. you know how a guy's voice is sometimes higher-pitched than his gf's? hahaha. yeah.

14. The Swear-er
on the mrt, just when you were minding your own business, a group of guys come in. and somehow, they have this weird idea that swearing loudly on public tranport charms the socks of the girls. and so that's what they do. the f*** this, cb that, lan **** you and whatever hokkien words i cant rmb. oh you think it's so cool? occasionally, yeah it's fine. during sports, ah, acceptable. but once in every sentence just gets annoying. esp if you have The duck voice. i'm so sorry, perhaps im just bias. haha.

15. The (i'm-too-lazy-to-hold-the-) Door Guy
you know the HEAVY glass door at taka when you go down to the basement. you're lugging your shopping up and finally reach the top of the escalator. you're behind this man in a business suit who looks all refined and whatnot, and you're just about to walk out of the door behind him. and bang, he opens the door just a crack enough for himself to fit in and slithers out of the door. leaving you to do a nose dive with the door. and at that point of time, i wouldnt blame you if you felt like swearing too.

16. The Guy who eats like yewi
ha ha, yewi is my baby sister. she's 13 years old, 145cm and 31kg. yeah. don't you just hate it when a guy picks at his food, cant decide on a restaurant, stops eating before you finish cos he's "absolutely STUFFED" when half his portion is still on his plate. then you look at your plate and it's all shiny and clean. then you feel like killing yourself for looking like such a pig. then you feel like killing him for being so, yewi.

17. The Guy who doesn't know how to use the Shaver
SHAVE PROPERLY. you either leave enough there to look like you're keeping it, or just shave it all off, clean-shaven. neither here nor there makes you look like you duno how to shave properly.

18. Mr LATE
no explanation needed.

19. The My-underswear-is-sooo-cool-i-gotta-show-the-whole-world Guy
hahaha. red, yellow, black, white, calvin klein, armani or spongebob. i don't really care. just pls, look decent. it ain't no G-string sweetheart.

20. The HairBand Guy
if you hair is long and annoying your eyes, CUT YOUR HAIR. though if you DO wannaa look like a cross between neighbourhood ah beng and neighbourhood ah lian, by all means, put that pink hairband on. leaving it around your neck is quite appropriate too.

coutesy of yeni and lydia

hope it made you laugh as hard as it made me and lydia.
with that,
g'nite sunshines.

fat!

2007-03-19T23:43:00.000+08:00

school wasn't that bad, in a how-long-more-to-recess way i guess.
got this big-ass amath test on wed.

DIFFERENTIATION.

what a wonderful start for term 02.
when i woke up this morning, i felt like i hardly slept for 15mins.
my eyes were so puffy.
and i already have (lack-of-) sleep zits forming.
so gross, and don't even get me started on the eyebags.
they are disgusting.

and to top it all off, i feel like a total blimp.
really.
joey got me going without much effort.
all the fat-jesty's and whatnots.
you know, i was just about to bite into a piece of meat, last piece on the plate i might add,
when he said,

"eat that and get FAT".

no prizes for what happened next.
haha.
afterall, what are brothers for right?
and his recent fetish is convincing me that i've got a double chin.
and i swear, i looked into the mirror and all i see is CHIN.
and yewi's keeps going on and on about her beautiful abs.
this is so depressing.
and joey deems my daily 200 situps NEGLIGIBLE.
he says 1000 a day should be "good enough".
tell me his behavious is abnormal,
please?
pretty please?

this, is what you get, with a whole family of sport freaks.
sigh.

school tmr

2007-03-18T22:00:00.000+08:00

school starts tmr.
and omg, i am absolutely d-r-e-a-d-i-n-g it.
through and through.
but isn't this oh- so-predictable.
ha ha.
just when i was getting used to my nocturnal,
erm VERY nocturnal habits.
think 4-5am nights and 1-2pm mornings.
yeah, now you can cringe. haha.
i'm listening to the radio and all the callers are like
"emily, i'm so bummed and upset that school's starting tmr!"
this is so depressing.
spare me a moment to whine, but damn.
back to rushing from period to period, nights of math and chem, plenty of pep talks from teachers, 6am mornings, crawling out of bed and psychoing myself into thinking that my bed doesn't look THAT tantalising. oh yeah, i almost forgot to mention, the Stress of the upcoming O levels.
sigh, this is what holidays do to you yeah?
make you rejoice then reduce you to a nervous wreck before school starts.
okay, maybe it's just me.

maybe.

okay okay.
im done whining and all ready for school.
ready to tackle mid years.
yes.
come think of it,
come the next holidays,
it'd be my birthday.
yeah.
right smack on,
remedial day.
ahhh.

okay.okay.
school isn't that bad.
yeah it isnt.

i just checked my timetable.
and how unforgiving.
i have two periods of chinese tmr.
how.very.unforgiving.

i hate waking up early.

sexy vs slutty

2007-03-18T00:48:00.000+08:00

what yeni thinks is

the difference between sexy and slutty

(in public)

sexy is crossing your legs and letting your shoes/heels dangle on your toes.

slutty is sitting on the guy's lap.

sexy is absentmindedly stroking your collarbone.

slutty is "oops sorry din mean to lean over to show you my boobies".

sexy is fitting.

slutty is too-tight. way too tight. throw in see-through as well.

sexy is a mini skirt and nice legs.

slutty is a knickers-display.

sexy is cleavage.

slutty is half your boobs.

sexy is a peek of lace when you bend.

slutty is a crack.

sexy is a sneak peck on the theatres.

slutty is tonsil-hockey on the escalator.

sexy is a smart conversation.

slutty is butt-grabbing and lip-smacking sounds.

sexy is a love-note slipped into his bag.

slutty is a declaration on msn/your blog that your favourite fruit are his "apples & bananas"

sexy is an attitude.

slutty is a performance/ display.

tip:
sexy is how you carry yourself.
from the little things like smiling, answering the phone, twirling your hair, adjusting your heel buckle to the way you encourage, the way you speak to people or the way you treat your family.
think sexy, think class.
if all else fails, think,
what would nicole kidman do.
hah!
that should work.

random

2007-03-16T22:16:00.000+08:00

laptop's fixed!

thx to julian. haha. though it was fixed since monday. heh. i lag.
it's so ironic that i hardly update during the holidays but i actually do it regularly when i have school. routine i guess.
this holidays, ive been so incredibly busy. the days just flew by i swear it did NOT feel anything remotely like a HOLIDAY. ive been having those 4-5am nights. more productive at night you see. haha. im gonna die when school starts. i just know it.
and i caught "stomp the yard" today.
it's nice-ish. in a mtv way. haha. more beats and rhythm than dance really. not my kind of choreography. but man, they can dance. but to be brutally honest, their plot's non-existant. THOUGH, their bodies are just..pfft. yea, you ge my point. tight, taut, hard whatever. yea. hah!

anyway. just a quick quiz thingie warm up my blogging again.
a read-worthy post soon. i promise.
and photos too.
just lemme load the darn program into the darn laptop.
haha.
meanwhile..

1. Cigarettes: arent cool. and they're smelly.
2. Sex: should be saved for best.
3. Relationships: are not for me.
4. Your Last Ex: was unbelievable nice despite my being a bitch.
5. Power Rangers: like ultraman, wears a costume and cheats little kids.
6. Crack: ho!
7. Food: gives you cleavage.
8. The Prime Minister: needs to reconsider o levels this year.
9. War: is bad, however you put it.
10. Cars: are convenient when driven by daddy.
11. Petrol Prices: are something my parents keep bitching about.
12. Halloween: means someone's bday! haha.
14. Religion: isn't for me.
15. MySpace: is non-existant.
16. Worst Fear: growing fat and stupid.
17. Marriage: is something i might forgo, surprisingly.

33. Alcohol: is a double-edged sword.
34. The word HATE: shouldn't be taken lightly. it annoys me how someone goes "i hate you" and not understand the meaning of it. it's as impt as "i love you"

36. Money: makes the world go round. make as much as you can.

Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters

Tolkien.

with that.
goodnight sunshine.

local vs foreign productions

2007-03-12T14:50:00.000+08:00

in the school library now.
dad says he'd get to my laptop..soon enough.
hah!
but

procrastination wins,

as always.

heh.

hm.
it's finally the annual march holidays.
and my last one as a secondary school student.
and it's gonna be spent productively, cause i say so.
haha.

i've had a good, albeit a not so productive start to my holidays.
heh.
yeahyeah. i'll start being productive after this post.

sat

had a girls night out with anna lyd and megan.
started with a visit to st luke's hospital in the morning.
and gosh, i've nv felt so inadequate before.
all the hokkien teochew cantonese speaking old folks.
i was so relieved whenever they could speak mandarin.
makes me feel so, ashamed that i can't even speak my own dialect properly.
actually, scrap that.
i can't even speak mandarin fluently.
dang!
so much for higher chinese.

then anna and i headed to church.
hah.
don't ask me why, don't even start.
strictly spur of the moment decision.
mhm.all i can say is that they've changed, so much.
somehow, going back, it feels so familiar yet so unfamiliar.
you wanna be part of it, yet don't want to.
it's strange.
but again, we just din fit in.
nor feel welcome.
ah, it just din feel church-y, homely.
unfortunately.
but fear not, as yeni always does, she had some fun of her own there.
hah!

after that, we headed over to town where we met lydia and megan.
went to kino and yoshinoya.
ah, kino.
it's so overwhelmingly, nice to be in there.
and god, books are expensive.
especially books without stains and dog-earred pages.
just the way it should be.
then we went to
clarke quay.
i liked it.
the river walk, quaint cake shops, the new mall, ambience.
everything.
haha.and we had a hilarious time.
and the look on lydia's face when she saw the flight of stairs at the mrt station.
it was priceless.
she called four flights of stairs a "mountain" and the next floor the "summit".
haha! you need some exercise babes.
so that night, it was
megan the emo goth chick.
lydia the da xiao jie
anna the big sister.hahhah.
and yeni the, i duno. fill in the blanks yourself.
haha.
i had a blast.

sun

woke up EARLY.
maama and daddy brought us to suntec area.
ate at billy bombers, oh god. the portions are, HUGE.
shopped ard.
then headed to the conventiona hall.
2006 IT fair.
it was positively swarming with people.
flooding if you may.
ah, the hazards of being short.
you get pushed, your feet gets stepped on repeatedly, and it gets hard to breathe after awhile.
sigh.
tell me why i hate crowds again.
BUT, for all that.
i got my new camera.
ah, its b-e-a-uuuutiful.
mama was feeling all generous and spent 500 whopping bucks on my Canon Ixus i7, in sepia.
heh.
i stayed up till abt 2plus playing ard with it.
at first, i swear.
i almost hyperventilated when i saw all the parts that came with the camera.
be it the USB card reader, the compact power adaptor or somply the memory card.
i had no idea.
haha.but after jase, sammie and the trusty manual's help.
im good.
haha.

oh.
caught the local film "just follow law" with my family.
i enjoyed it, alot actually.
one word that probably describes it best would be that it is very Singaporean.
i duno, it probably sounds lame to some of you.
but no, im not ashamed to say that i actually liked it, a lot.
just like i enjoyed "i not stupid" and "i not stupid too".
you know, the thing about some people, is that,
they find it embarrassing to be Singaporean.
they deem local productions inferior to foreign ones.
less marketable, yes.
to a certain extent, dialect Singlish and all.
and strangely, it's probably the same group of people who think Chinese is uncool.
they'd probably give anything to be white.
saddening really, cause i for one, am proud of my roots.
i feel ashamed that i can't speak mandarin or cantonese well, enough.

mhm.this issue has been weighing on my mind a fair bit
don't ask me why though.

okay.
i do not encourage Singlish.
i try not to do "lah"s and "lor"s and i don't do "sia"s and "worxxx"s.
hah, God forbid.
i'm all for proper English.
but really, it's a double-edged sword.
why is it that we can adapt to "cool", "rocks", "sucks".
what is it that makes "sian", "sabo", "shiok" hard to adapt for others?
cos it's not english perhaps?
sigh.
but eradicating all these slangs from local films would probably make it less personal to Singaporeans.
guess it all depends on what group of people the film is targeting at.

AHH,
at teh end of these jottings of my senseless musing,
i still haven't come up with a conclusion!
this is bad.
okay.

1) i'm still equally, outraged?disappointed? at the lack of support from Singaporeans for local productions.
i mean. i say i just watched "just follow law" or "i not stupid too" and people can actually say it's LAME or DUMB without actually watching it.
it's so annoying really.

2) i still feel it isn't inferior. BUT improvements can be made.
ultimately, i believe a good film is one that is personal, one that you can relate to.

though the type of humour they use can be a little crude, perhaps low-class even.
but ah, who says everything must be irony and puns and wit and whatnot.
sometimes, we do need some hokkien jokes and butt-scratching.
esp if it's done by Fann Wong.
eh?
hahaha.

3) Chinese is NOT uncool.
really, it isn't. not to be at least.
though i'm bad at it verbally, i'd get all the words in a cheng yu but i'd end up permutating everything ard.haha!
but i'd LOVE to be able to speak like anna.
ah.really.

alrighty.
enough senseless ranting.
oh yeah.
if you do have anything to say abt this, go leave a tag.
i'd love to hear what you have to say.
at least, if i come up with a conclusion soon enough, my mind would stop whirring.
gah!

conked

2007-03-09T10:46:00.000+08:00

my laptop conked out.
and i wonder why.
hahaha.

so it'd probably be awhile before you see me back online and blogging.
yea i know.
you'll miss me.
haha.make me happy and nod will you?
haha.

life's been pretty, alright.
the little things here and there, nothing big really.
march holidays are coming up real soon.
but, instead of play, it's time to study HARD.
bummer.

so jase has left already.
so has lini,
julian too,
and man, it haven't come to terms with it yet.
it feels so..unreal.
like, two weeks ago,
we were still gorging on chocolates and wine at Fullerton.
haha!
i wish.
but owell.
life's gotta move on.
school/work has gotta start(for them).
better this way actually, logically.
but don't you guys worry.
december would be here before we know it.
and we'll find some other crazy things to do.

meanwhile,
just know that i'll be missing y'all.
and that y'all are constantly in my mind.
thx for the gift card, the geishas, the godiva, the chocolate buffet, the cakes, the key chain, the dinner, the cards, the things you left behind cos you luggage was too heavy, the fun, the laughter and all the love.
damn i sound like im dying.
haha.

so
lini jason and julian.

ilu, imy.

ww,
yeni, the lil sister :p
p.s. go figure THAT. hah!

10 things men actually dislike abt women

2007-03-05T21:16:00.000+08:00

yeni says:
if there were one thing you disliked most abt gals in general.what would that be?
whether its something they all do or say or ask

yeni says:
anything

XIX says:
that they dont seem to digg me

XIX says:
i mean what's up with that man!

yeni says:

erm.i was looking for a serious ans.

try again.

yeni says:
cmon now is the time to

LET LOOSE

yeni says:
to whine abt women

yeni says:
other then their lack of interest in you that is

XIX says:
why would i whine about girls to a girl

XIX says:

and betray the sacred brotherhood?

yeni says:
hahhaha.

very clever you.

yeni says:
oh MARCIUS!

yeni says:
ah fine

see, im puttin together materials for..something impt.

XIX says:

XIX says:
now why would i care about benefiting the female population

XIX says:
what's in it for me

sigh.
oh wow.
so after painstakingly gathering feedback from some guys.
digging and probing and plying i meant.
here's what i got.
a new list..
*cue sound effects
-grins

10 things men actually dislike abt women

1) their temperament : them acting like their mood is an excuse do whatever they want, at the expense of others.

2) their too subtle hints. just say what you mean. men get sick of guessing too.eg: we'll talk another time= i want to talk now. im fine = im not fine at all you freak!

3) how they are never happy with whatever answers used for the the classic "am i fat?" question. even worse, when a fat girl asks if she's fat. there's no damn way out of it.

4) how they think being aloof can be attractive. looking like an unfriendly bitch isn't sexy.

5) how they constantly check other girls out.

6) how they constantly worry abt nothing and everything in particular (she hates me. he thinks im fat. he thinks she's prettier than me. i look ugly in red)

7) how she doesn't apologise when she's late. yes a cute grin brings you to many places, but good manners are essential.

8) how she always expects the guy to make the right decisions. bringing her to the right place, appear at the right times, read her moods exactly as it is etc.

9) how she expects the guy to pay when he doesn't want to.

10) how she digs for compliments. if a compliment is due, fine. but fishing for compliments make her seem insecure. a confident woman is sexy. and sexy is an attitude, it's how you carry yourself.

oh.

the woes of a female.

materialism

2007-02-27T23:22:00.000+08:00

case 1:

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.

case 2:

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.

case 3:

julian asked me:

love or wealth?

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.

material

2007-02-27T00:13:00.000+08:00

i'm a

LOTR

2007-02-25T22:41:00.000+08:00

i'm not a fan of LOTR.
but this is..
hahaha.
you'll see.

coutesy of jase.
jase says:

out this summer!

LOTR

Lord Of The Retards.

starring:

siew suet yen as the lord
siew suet lin as the retard

directed by:
siew suet yen

producers:
jason shen, julian sng

distributed by Special People Productions

hahaha.
private joke.
lini the retard eh?
hahahahha.

she's gone

2007-02-25T01:09:00.000+08:00

thurs:

rushed thru school. jase picked me up from school and rushed home to get ready for the big day. okok, i spent quite AWHILE gettin ready. hey!going hotel alright. must dress up :D then we cabbed down to bakerzin where we were supp to get something savoury. i had chocolate cake in the end though :D i love sweet stuff. makes me smile like a fool. and fat like a ball too. lini had salad whole jase and julian did soup. then we decided to play pool. and my goodness, i thought i improved..but apparently, i thought wrong cos i sucked so bad. heh. fortunately, julian the lefty was with me and we still won the lefties! yay us. US, we are a team yes? hahaha! and then, it was TIME.

FOR THE CHOCOLATE BUFFET AT FULLERTON!!!

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.

fri:

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.

Sat:

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.

new year trip

2007-02-20T23:58:00.000+08:00

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!

kl

2007-02-16T19:09:00.000+08:00

off to Malaysia in a bit.
where all the angpow money i receive has to be cut down by halves (ringgit).
bummer.
owell.
that's always the food to look foward to!
haha.

so with that.
i'll be back soon.

the fatter richer version of me at least.
hah!

gong xi fa cai

2007-02-16T00:59:00.002+08:00

all the "me" time in the world.
all the time to revise and study.
all too soon.

anyway,it's THAT time of the year!

go praise old aunties for looking young(liars you!) and secretly count your angpow money in the toilet.

what women secretly love abt men but wouldnt admit

2007-02-12T23:15:00.000+08:00

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.

Valentine's Day.

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:

what (yeni thinks)

women (secretly)

love/like

about men

(but wouldn't admit!)

1. when you compliment them on how they look. (we may act like we don't care or that it ain't a big deal, but inside we're like "ooh plus one point!"haha.)

2. how you take charge of stuff. like paying for the movie tickets or ordering at the restaurant or finding the restroom for us)

3. how you play the musical instrument (guitar, drums, piano omg)

4. how you ask us if we're tired with those concerned eyes just cos we yawned or rub our eyes

5. how you insist on sending us home on time and right to our doorsteps even if you live on the other side of the island

6. how you reassure us for the 10000000001st time that we're not fat. and make sure we don't skip our next meal. the way you say it, the matter-of-fastly tone.

7. how you look straight into our eyes, brush the hair from our face and say how you feel without hiding anything.

8. how you text us call us after a date to thank us. be it manners or whatever, it just feels good when you say it as though we were the best dates in the world.

9. how you surprise us with something just because.

10. how you grin when we do something stupid or clumsy

11. how you remember the little things we said before that even we can't remember anymore

12. how you ruffle our hair like a little girl (note: girls with hard-to-maintain hair might not like this)

13. how you know exactly what to do and where to bring us.

14. how you manoeuver us in crowded places (small of the back, clasping of our hands, encircling our waist.)

15. how you say i love you in that special way. the gaze, the touch, the kiss.

wow.

still plenty more.

but will stop here since you stupid boys have been texting me on what to get for Her.

so here are my suggestions:

(please take into consideration, her style and preferences)

1. flowers

2. chocolates (try royce, godiva, sins..)

3. musical boxes

4. toys (i don't like em', but most girls dig em', so..)

5. bracelets

6. necklaces

7. rings

8. earrings

9. wallet

10. scents (try DKNY, escada)

11. sexy knickers (topshop, la senza)

12. slippers (though some people say its bad luck to give slippers cos its a sign that you wanna chase them away or smth)

13. pencil box (roxy. paul frank.)

14. a bag (depends on what kind you're getting her)

15. a book (cecelia ahern!)

16. a jacket (gap, esprit, zara, topshop, forever 21)

17. handmade card

18. edible cakes baked by yourselves

19. lip balm (bodyshop's always a safe choice)

20. if you're up to it, a sexy bikini or lingerie. (of good quality please!)

so with all this knowledge i've painstakingly equipped you with.

go get her boys!

diner and shoppin

2007-02-12T00:20:00.000+08:00

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,

Oh what the hell.
haha.

Friday:

O levels chinese results!
Pardon me while i relive my glorious moment.

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..)

random

2007-02-08T23:46:00.000+08:00

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.

wenta sentosa on saturday.
with lini jason and julian.
lini and i were..an hour and a half late. haha. for various reasons.
had hotcakes =)
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..
i like.
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

JUMBLE SALE!

10 KISMIS AVE!

8am onwards

50cents to 2 bucks

most items

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!
with zero advertisement and only a crappy vanguard sheet,
like man..haha.
but it was great fun.

but now.
back to waking up early for school again.
gotta go nurse my burnt back and slather on aloe vera lotion again.

ouch.

you have no idea how glad i am that things are good between us again. so glad.

stranger

2007-01-30T23:24:00.000+08:00

funny how it's easy to talk to a perfect stranger,

but not so easy with someone who's suddenly become a stranger.

sad too that.

random

2007-01-30T00:20:00.000+08:00

that was so..difficult.
it's just so different now, it almost hurts to hear.
the laughter's the same though.
and i like the middle of the sentences where it's more you.
and when you get excited, it's like your old self all over again.
i suppose
things change, people change.

but this change,
i hate.

will...
why aren't you online when i need to speak to you..

moth to a flame

2007-01-23T23:55:00.000+08:00

Sometimes,
just like a moth to a flame,
you are drawn to pretty things that will hurt you.

A flame, beautifully mesmerising and comfortingly warm, attracts the moth closer and closer.

Perhaps it just doesn't know that the flame is dangerous, or perhaps it doesn't care, I really don't know. And frankly, I don't really care.

But what about humans?

Surely we are smart enough to know when something in dangerous to us, or bad for health and whatsoever,
righttt?

Evidently, not.

Apparently, "once bitten, twice shy" isn't applicable to many lessons in life.

It's a little like walking into a wall knowing that you'll end up with a big bump on your head just for the thrill of the act. Or like drinking seawater just to satisfy your thirst at that point of time. Or like going into a relationship knowing that it wouldn't work out in the end, but headbutting into it anyway just so you can enjoy for a year and suffer heartbreak for 3years.

Better to have loved and lost than not having loved at all?

You think?

In my opinion, these words are uttered by the ignorant, those who haven't had their hearts thoroughly broken and shattered before, who hasn't suffered heartbreak at its peak before,who hasn't missed someone till the point you want to scold and bash that person up for making you hurt that way, who hasn't felt hurt for hurting someone you love.

You think?

I really don't know.

And come the end of these long jottings of my musings, I know I have strayed from the point.

But I do know that, what comes up must come down.
What has a starting, has an ending.
What you want the most, you usually can't get.
What you want the most, isn't always the best for you.
What you love the most, has the ability to hurt you the worst.
And with good things earned, you lose another.

Everything comes in pairs, everything has a balance.

You think so?

mmhm..

how to be a gentleman

2007-01-19T12:00:00.000+08:00

Yeni's (very) Basic Guidelines

How to be a Gentleman

for

Extremely Clueless Boys

(modified)

1) Open doors

2) Offer to pay for her, and really mean it, UNLESS she insists more than twice.

3) Send her home (to the doorstep)

4) Offer to carry her shopping bags, NOT handbag.

5) Be 5minutes earlier and don't complain if she comes late

6) Know the correct answer to "Am i fat?" (say 'no' you dumbass, unless she's 200pounds or something. Alternatively, you can always say that she looks beautiful in your eyes, always.haha!corny right?but its tried and tested and works!)

7) Refrain from texting or picking up your calls more than thrice when on a date.

8) Have a date plan beforehand. Think fun and casual, places where you can talk to each other.

9) Look her in her eyes when talking to her. Her boobs can't talk.

10) Make her laugh.

11) When contemplating a relationship with her, it's only essential to get permission from her parents.

12) Dress well. No slippers, pink or purple.

13) Shave. Please.

14) Carry mints and cash. Oh, and plasters for in case of blisters.

15) Remember to compliment the girl. No, not for brownie points. It's compulsory. But don't lie either. Just, try your best.

16) When eating out with her, ask her what she's having and order for her. Try to do all the talking to the waiter for her if possible.

17) Equal opportunities to talk. Don't be..self-absorbed. That's just..bad.. Of course if you're at the other end of the scale, try to open up too.

18) Text her after the date to thank her, regardess of whether the date was good or bad.

19) If she has a curfew, make sure she's home by then. It's good for her, and for you too (think of the parents)

20) Make sure she's comfortable with sharing food/drinks with you before coming back with just one large Pepsi. Ask first, if not, just get two.

thanksgiving

2007-01-05T23:16:00.000+08:00

I know I may be a tad slow, but do pardon me. I've been busy. So let's get on with THANKSGIVING. This is extremely rare of me, by the way. So do cherish this. HAHA! The people I mention in this post are the people who have made a difference in my life in 2006; people who helped me get through, made me happy sometimes, made me sad sometimes. But these are the people that made my 2006 every bit worthwhile.

a new year

2007-01-02T23:05:00.000+08:00

2006 has come and gone and it's a new year. But, it hasn't sunk into my thick skull till..
NOW. approximately 8hours till the first day of school. how smart.
When i'm tired and grouchy after spending a whole day in Sentosa getting sunburnt even when there's no sun (stupid, i know). Sigh. This is not the time for me to realise that i have ALOT of undone homework. And a chemistry and amath test coming up. Binomial is just not processing right now. Owell. What's new? Sounds like a new year to me already.
haha. So damn typical of me.

BUT, i shall still do thanksgiving.

in my next post.

because my new year resolution is to study hard this year.

and
i'm already working on it.

proud of myself already.

so till then...
happy first day of school
to all you poor students.
we're in this nonsense together.

in for a new year of neverending assignments and surprise tests and endless naggings and expectations flung rudely at our faces.
oh tell me again,
what's new.
oh.
yea.
o levels.

dammit.

bintan

2006-12-28T00:01:00.000+08:00

wow.these few days have been crazy for me. whirlwind of events. ok but first of all,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

i had an unusual christmas, very unusual. haha. received an unexpected gift from my mummy this year too. it made me, very happy. went to the esplanade for some supposedly xmas countdown, which did not happen, and inhaled plenty of poisonour fumes from those annoying spray things. poor sweeper was working his ass off while stupid people kept on spraying. terrible huh?played pool and reached home late. woke up late on xmas morning (afternoon?). haha. stayed home and bantered on with my family. went out for dinner. and we set off for bintan the next day!(yesterday) haha.

since it was raining half the time, no tanning, bummer.

two highlights:

the massage and fishing.

ok, not that fishin's much of a highlight, but i've nv laughed so much when i was frustrated in my whole life.

ok massage first:

it was a sea salt massage and it was Excruciating. it burnt and felt like my skin was gonna tear ok! when the therapist started at my feet, i almost kicked her face cos it tickled so bad. poor lady. have a knack for injuring the innocent (rmb the doctor?). haha. but after the jacuzzi soak, it was heaven. fell asleep almost immediately when i hit the sheets. haha.

fishin:

boy, do i hate fishing.

i paired up with lini for fishin (bad idea, real bad). though i should admit sth: i am a walking hazard with a fishing rod. do steer clear of me when i am attempting to fling the rod. ok, so anyway. lini and i were just sittin there quietly, waitin for a tug. she claimed she had a fish and started reeling it in. and her lines got all tangled and she just kept going. got worse and worse. gave up on the fish and tried fixing it. i took pity on her, passed her my rod and tried fixing hers. she got bored and started fishin with my rod. and spolit that too. frustrated and amazed at her ability and speed to destroy rods, we called the guy over. he passed us new rods and tried fixing our rods, which was BOTH spoilt by her. but the guy probably thiinks we're both horrible. so with our new rods, we happily started fishin. till lini spoilt hers again. i went

"im not passing you my rod man. and that's three rods in an hour.the guy probably hates our guts la. you suck." haha. moral of the story :

DON'T bring lini out to fish, ever.

though she claims it's the lousy quality of the rod.

still contemplating if i should give her the benefit of the doubt.

hahaha!

it was, or still is, obscenely rainy. works both ways, i guess. you can sleep in, but you cant go out, or rather, it's way too inconvenient. this leads to alot of thinking time. again, which works both ways. haiya.

pardon me for my long post. will do one of those reader-friendly list-like posts soon.

till then, g'nite readers =)

it's true

2006-12-22T00:55:00.000+08:00

Sometimes, you think it's so difficult to let go of someone, or something.
When you were young, it was your mummy's hand when you were learning how to walk. Then it's that little stuffed toy you've had since you were 3. Then it was that childhood friend you had to leave when you moved into another neighbourhood. Then, it was leaving your primary school, your second home for six beautiful and torturous (depending on whether it's recess) years. And growing even older, it's someone dear to you. Someone close to your heart. Whether it's a mum, a dad, sister, brother, best friend, boyfriend, just someone who's holds utmost importance in your life.
Imagine that person leaving; be it physically, emotionally, doesn't matter, just leaving. Close your eyes, imagine, think for a while how life will be like without them. Maybe they passed away, or maybe they're going to a country far far away. But the point is that you'll never see them, hear them, speak to them, feel them, laugh with them, cry with them, hug them, kiss them, anything. Never again. Non-existant. Zero. Nada. Zilch. And you get the point.
It's hard huh? Almost brings a tear to your eyes eh?
Well, maybe it was just me. Emo-shite me. haha.
But in actual fact, it isn't so difficult. Difficult yes, but not that difficult.
You'd think your world would fall apart without them. But no, it won't, if you don't let it happen, that is. That person may be the most important person to you in the world, the person you love most in the world.You feel your heart breaking, till what's left in there is a dull aching sensation. You feel your heart drop when that person is hurt, and you'd do anything in the world to go back in time to change how things turned out. But no, it isn't so hard. Not so hard to let go.No, it isn't so bad.
It gets better each day. There's the silence, yes. And the heartwrenching loneliness. And the memories. You look at something, or hear something, and bam! That person comes into your head. You smile cause it's a joke only you two share. A private luxury. But that instant reminder, and then the floodgates to the painful memories come crashing in. Then the feelings come pouring in like a broken dam. And you start wondering, when the hell you'll get your life back. When your life will resume normalcy. When you'll stop having a different life in your head and out of it.
Sometimes, you get a tap on your back, and that person's name just flashes in yor head. For that moment, you forget that person's gone, and you turn around ecstatically, only to feel stupid moments after. Happens, it does really. And the dreams, don't even get started on it. No, you don't wake up crying; rather, you curse. When will all these end, you ask. It will, if you allow an end to it.
Stop replaying scenes in my head yeni, stop thinking yeni, I always tell myself. Drive you nuts really.
I was just listening to this song, wonder if it's considered an oldie, yet.
I'm not sure who it's by, but it's called
"It's true"
The chorus goes something like
"It's true, i mean it, from the bottom of my heart. It's true, without you I would fall apart"
The tune and melody and whatever there is to it, yea, it's catchy. But when i heard the lyrics, I laughed out loud(lol,haha, sorry, couldn't restrain myself).
It's not true. No, it isn't.
You can't fall apart if someone goes. You just can't. It's just not possible. Now that I think of it, such songs should not be heard. It's discouraging. People gotta be more independent than that.
All these stupid love songs, bad for health.

okok, i'll cut the (act-)cheem stuff out cos after one big round, my point is lost somewhere in the convulated webs of my random thoughts.
I just mean, no, you can't fall apart and won't if someone goes. Only you can allow yourself to fall apart. No one else can make you.
You're as strong as you make yourself out to be.
yea, i think that's what i mean.
damn,
I'm so incoherent sometimes.

love

2006-12-19T20:23:00.000+08:00

Have you ever thought of someone and wondered, or wished even, if he would be thinking of you at that exact same time? And then proceed to call you just when you're holding your phone and hesitating to call him? Or thought about what he's doing, or if he's also missing you? Or have you ever, in the confines of an empty room, craved for something you wished you never had? Or even replay scenes and memories of broken relationships, and wonder your night away what the hell you did wrong? Then cursed yourself for what you think you did wrong? That my dear, is the ugly side of love.

Many times, in movies and novels, you read about great love, love overcoming all, two people against all odds, finally getting together and living happily ever after, blahblahblah. But what these shows often fail to depict is the bad side.What about the victims of love? Those who pines, but never get pined over. Those who love, but never get loved in return. Those who's loved ones, don't know of their love. Or those who's loved ones, don't love them in the same manner. Those are the victims of love. And very often, are the same ones who get overlooked and ignored, and forgotten. Why? Because everybody has such a perfect picture of love, pure and untainted, unadulterated love.

No matter how strong a woman is, how stubborn and feministic she may be, she'll always have this untarnished impression of love. Be it knight in shining armour, or rich and famous rock star, or doctors in white gowns, or lawyers in black suits. But they will all be romantic, caring, humourous and blahblahblah. They'll be there miraculously whenever they're down (even if you don't call them), they'll know when to call, they'll be a hit with their parents, and be the envy of all their friends. Why is that?

Blame Korean/Taiwanese/Japanese/whatever-nese dramas. Blame Hollywood. Blame romance novels. Why, you ask me? Remember the time when you watched Meteorite Garden (yeayea, the one with F4). Wasn't there a time for all girls who has watched this, when you wished a met a Daoming Si? When he'd save you from thugs, have an endless supply of cash, and is cool and hot and the works? And he'd kiss you in the rain and have this cute dimple in his cheek whenever he grins? I bet you have! Or read books and likened yourself to the characters in the story just so you'd have the pleasure of pretending to have the perfect boyfriend in your daydream. Typical. It's because of these stupid dramas. You start hallucinating, becomg delusional and dreaming for the impossible. You become vulnerable and harbour stupid illusions of Prince Charming.

But love isn't like that for all of us. For most of us. It's tough, but true. Many of us mere motals get rejected, end up unloved, ignored and depressed. It's a sad truth. I'm not being cynical or annoying. It is.

oh what the hell. stupid dramas making me emo. there is no point in this post. just disjointed paragraphs that randomly come to mind.

ten things

2006-12-16T23:53:00.000+08:00

ten things

yeni thinks

guys shouldn't do

(in public or with their gfs).
they shouldn't:
1) wear pink or purple, nor slippers with jeans, nor socks with sandals, under ANY circumstances
2) carry their girlfriend's handbags like a girl.(shopping bags are okay. holding their girlfriend's handbag like shopping bags are okay too.)
3) stuff their hands into their girlfriend's back pocket AND wiggle their fingers.
4) not open the door
5) buff their nails
6) in any situation expect the girl to pay for him.also, if it's an official date, he should be ready to pay for the girl if she expects him to.
7) go on dates without a date plan
8) hit females
9) wear things that emphasize their nipples
10) not know the correct answer to "does my butt look fat in this?".

i just HAD to add this.

11) send the poor girl home if it's past 7pm. actually, just send regardless of the time, simpler. esp if she lives in ulu, deserted, rapist-infested places. (like me.haha!)

church

2006-12-16T23:14:00.000+08:00

"do you want to come back to church?"

this very question is directed at me ever so often. and i never seem to have a proper answer to it. and i never fail to squiggle and squirm my way out of it, whether it involves changing the topic, being sarcastic or whatnot. truthfully, i think i am more than a little afraid to go back.so many doubts and questions, i have. it was ever once a place filled with people i thought were my true friends, once a place where i could find peace in, once a place poured out my feelings and emotions so openly. He was Someone i once trusted and relied on completely. Someone i was once so passionate about. Someone i tried to love so hard. but it turned out that it wasnt enough. everything i did there was wrong, was harshly judged upon, was just not enough. now, whenever i think of what used to be my safe haven, i see hurt, betrayal, judgements, restrictions, rules, hypocrisy. it's sad how everytme i step in that place again, in hopes of finding some meaning to this turnout, all that ever comes out of it is an angry me. if there was any one thing i gained from that place, it's how to stand up on my own two feet.

funny how some things change ain't it?

sometimes, they're good changes, sometimes they're bad. sometimes they're fast, sometimes they take ages. sometimes you love it, sometimes you hate it.

funny how you can speak to a stranger so openly, but find it so hard to tell your loved ones how you feel. funny how you can say "excuse me" to a stranger yet say "move it" to your loved ones. funny how feelings can change so fast.funny how girls call her ex "jerkass" but still love him. funny how you start loving someone after they've left. funny how it's someone you love that hurts you the most. strange huh?

and funny how i've managed to type down the string of thoughts that has been niggling at the back of my mind. incoherent though, i am.

must be the excessive walking in heels all day.
why, oh why, can't we be normal people, who live with bustops outside their houses?

just came back from a short short trip to KL.
though it was a pretty unfruitful shopping trip,
but i had a considerable amount of fun actually.
haha.

we arrived at KL about 8pm on sat night.
got off the car, extremely relieved.
to experience some gun fight.
ok, not really gun fight.
but a bunch of men were chasing some guy and kept firing his gun.
and lini, yewi and i were right in the middle of it.
kept laughing somemore.
terrible right?
cause i thought it was a firecracker and kept walking.
till yewi saw the gun and almost hyperventilated.
then our dad quickly got us to jump back into the car.
and yewi laid on the floor for fear of the bullet whizzing through the glass (seriously).
while i got seated next to a hysterical lini. (she laughs when she's scared sometimes)
we-lll.
i din even know why everybody was so scared till yewi told me there was a gun.
haha.
and they say, ignorance is bliss.

and i swear, i have never felt so..constantly full in my entirely life, as i've been these past three days.
haha.
i went there to get fat la, literally. well, to get fatter.
haha.

hmm
haven't been in the mood for many things lately.
can't figure out why either.
but i shld stop posting about all things negative.
just like swearing when you're pissed.
gets you more riled up.

hurt lyrics

2006-12-04T18:51:00.000+08:00

Hurt

By Christina Aguilera

Seems like it was yesterday
When I saw your face
You told me how proud you were,
But I walked away
If only I knew what I know today

I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I wanna call you
But I know you won't be there

Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you

Some days I feel broke inside
But I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide
'Cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye
When it comes to this

Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes
And see you looking back

Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself,

oh If I had just one more day
I would tell you how much that I've missed you
Since you've been away
It's dangerous
It's so out of line
To try and turn back time

I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself..
By hurting you

decided to chop off my tresses after many months of careful deliberation.
my hairdresser was extremely reluctant.
but off it went.
to the point of no return.
haha!

haha.

2006-11-29T19:18:00.000+08:00

oh my goodness.
i still can't believe i'm back home.

haha.
melbourne was a blast.
i had my fair share of freezing my ass off (yes, in spring), horseriding, fishing, cherry-picking, waterfall seeing, sliding down huge slides, penguins, optical illusions, log cabins, 12apostles, fearing that we'd run down a kangaroo or wallaby, endless mountains, cow-spotting, the beautiful bountiful blur sea and etc.

you get the point.
shan't go on and on abt every highlight.

ok fine, just some.
bear with me. =)

first,
it was the UNBEARABLE SEVEN HOUR flight there.a fat person sat in front of me, and a fat person sat behind me. that sucked.
reached melb at arnd 3am melb time.
was freezing.
siblings and i tried to blow mist from our mouths. HA HA!
rented a car and set out to look for lini's apt.
failed miserably.
asked abt a million people for directions, namely, two indians at a 7-11 PETROL KIOSK. haha!
found lini at abt 5am.
went to Great Ocean Road and saw the sea.
compared to sentosa, it was absolutely breath-taking.
took a gazillion photos.

fast forward.

went to see abt..4waterfalls.
had to climb and climb and climb to dunno where and finally reach the thing.
took ALOT of pictures there and had "see who can put their feet in the water the longest" competition with my family. and the water is freezing cold.
joey won, hands down.
haha!

fast forward.
went horseriding.
my butt ached for days after that.
but did the basic trotting and cantering and whatnot.
my horse was called..shites.forgot.
haha.
but it was the bully.
kept nosing other horses.
we rode thru this super secluded beach, yes BEACH. and some forest lik thingie and grasslands and all.

fast forward.

cherry picking was quite fun.
it was lik $5 entry fee and then pay for whatever the amount of cheeries you pick.
so we paid the 5bucks and went in and just picked and ate in the garden.
then we went out empty-handed.
haha!
oh, and we had some "see who can spit the cherry seed the furthest" competition.
needless to say, joey won, hands down.
i was second tho. =)

fast forward.

the accomodation plans were..actually,there were none to speak off.
my parents din book the hotels.we just stayed wherever there were motels.
there was this once, we looked till 1-pm and still couldnt find any.
we were so desperate, we contemplated sleepin in the car.
then FINALLY, we spotted The Cottage.haha.
the best motel we stayed in tho, was the log cabin.
it was awesome.
you wake up to kangaroos at your window, and i'm NOT exaggerating(*sp), tho i sound lik i am.
but seriously, took silent videos of them.
cos the log cabin was just beside this grassy area and kangaraoos go there.
HOWEVER, they scatter when they see you.
so no, i can't pat them.
bummer.

fast forward.

went fishing for my FIRST time and caught a rainbow trout.
tho the damn fishes kept eatin the bait and runnin, erm, swimmin away.
think im just too slow.
haha.

fast forward.

saw the 12apostles but couldn't figure out the faces for nuts.
they looked lik faceless rocks to me actually.
hehheh.

fast forward.
went to Philip Island, the Penguin Place and saw the Penguin Parade.
and boy, were they adorable or what.
they were the Little Penguins. they are abt 3inches tall. and you see them wobble up the beach and into their little barrow. god. and the way they mates is more barbaric then us humans. the male penguin literally throw another male penguin aside, takes his gal and pushes her into his barrow. haha!
and we visited the optical illusions place were i saw myself fat, thin(ooohh lala!), short, tall(oooohhh lala!) and curvy(yummy) on their mirrors. we played INTELLECTUALLY enriching games and took weird goofy photos on thir cool cameras which they later put on display. i tried tellin the lady that those were too unglam, but to my utter dismay, she just smiled and put a more unglam one of me smashin my face into the camera lense. she thot it was cute. dammit. haha!
and we went down this slide that was about 180degrees.and im not kidding. we had to wear some kinda suit.
and i almost had a heart attack.

and btw, the playgrounds in melb are super cool.
compared to sg that is.
i felt so deprived there, so we all decied to relive our childhood and play lik kids.
and we did.=)
oh and the mazes there are..erm..pretty challenging.
actually, i think i just suck at mazes.
came in last in almost EVERY maze we came across.
haha!

ok.
damn.that was long.
those of you who are actually still readin this, you must either:
a) be real bored
b) love reading and want to "devour" every word on this blog
c) really love me and wanna know abt my life ( in such cases, i love you too,haha!)

pictures coming soon.
and weird videos maybe.

oh and those of you who missed lini as much as i did, she's back in Sg.
till about feb.
so till then, i might be a tad bit more preoccupied than normal.
haha!
