ohmygawh. okae. i need to do this ASAP. firstly a very belated bday to 3 people who coincidentally birthdays all fell on last saturday, 22 November. =x
happy 17th birthday to mark z.
happy 15th birthday to WJ's bro, benz.
and lastly, IMHO most importantly, happy 6th birthday Ulvis!!
yes. i know the name's weird. but i love the little kid! i miss him lots kaes. i met Ulvis last year in my church kids camp which i volunteered in. i love love love him! and he loves me back just as much. =D
to be honest, the camp really impacted my life. and Ulvis, his sister, Udella, and the rest of my group really made my maternal instincts pop right out of whoever knew where. i want to have kids and be really involved in their lives, not like how i grew up feeling. i want to wake up early (no matter how much it irritates me so) just to lovingly prepare breakfast for them (then zonk out again). i want to hug and carry them and whisper away their fears, kiss their booboos better. all that 'touchy-feely' stuff. although the diaper changing and my phobia of going through labor may take quite a while to get over.
anyways. update on my stupid illness. its round 2 of tonsilitis. the doctor recommended me to see a specialist if it occurs again. i mean he was kinda surprised i got it 5 weeks after the first round. oh man oh man. why me? but on the other hand, i'm looking forward to the TONS of ice cream i get to eat especially if and once my tonsils get pulled out. not too sure how my parents are gonna feel about that. =/

had a helluva dream this morning. seriously. i think not being able to express myself in my writing has gotten to me. my dream felt like something that i wrote about. oh yes, it was in medieval times -gasp- the horror. my first instinct was to make sure i was in 2008 and not 1106 or something by rushing to the toilet. didnt make sense now but it made a lot of sense then. go figure.
anyways. i kinda forgot what i wanted to tag. its been happening a lot more often than not. at times i would talk to WJ and suddenly i'd stop because i totally forgot what we were talking about/what i wanted to tell or ask him.
ah yes. my regular pre-exam jitters in back. why? my minor sniffles from last week became a full-blown (pardon the pun) cold and annoyingly dry and stuffy-ish sorethroat. and now i sound more like a man than my brother probably has. -.-
i'm craving my sushi so badly. and WJ doesnt want to indulge me into it. until i played the sickie card and he agreed to go with me for sushi tomorrow. YAY! =D

okay. so the photos aren't exactly in the order but i'm not gonna care really. heh. so anyways. was suppose to meet michi to go shopping but couldnt so she told me she'd pick me up on the way to kallang.
so... michi and i wanted to watch a movie for awhile and coincidentally her friend, let's call that person, SH, wanted to watch quantam of solace. but since i watched it before, i didnt want to but somehow michi managed to convince SH to treat me to watching the 007 movie again. hahaha. free movie woo!
so we went to leisure park ard 4 but we were feeling peckish. WJ and SH were on their way, one by public transport, the other by car. so we headed for the jap restaurant on the 4th floor. its pretty good and pretty interesting. instead of a normal menu, we had to walk around to pick out what we wanted. me and michi were drooling over the japanese desserts but it looked pretty weird.
then WJ arrived so we went one more round before settling down with our sushi and a long list of orders. hahah. michi is a pig~. kidding! i think we took so long that we decided to catch the 7.30 film instead of the 5.15 one.
so after the movie, SH had to go so me, michi and WJ wandered around for awhile. me and michi wanted to catch the 12.10 film but WJ refused because its was a chick flick (Wild Child) so we ended up going bowling.
i have to agree that michi's bowling skills suck. nearly every single ball she throws ends up in the gutter. at least for the first game. and we were so intimidated coz on both sides of the lane we booked were PROS. they had the professional gear and one of them even had a coach on hand. i think the coach was super amused by us, especially by my 'almost flying onto the lane coz my finger got stuck in the ball'.
oh yeah. and the pro-in-training had a super cute custom made ball! i told michi i wouldnt mind owning one like that. KAWAII-NE~!
check out our scores. hahah. none of us hit a 100 coz we were too busy laughing, snacking and sitting around complaining how sore our thumbs and the webbing meat between the thumb and forefinger were. hahaha.

everytime i go out, i dont expect to meet anyone i know or had an acquaintance with. but today was like the revival of the past. people i've not seen in a year or two or six were totally popping out of the woodwork today!
first i saw a guy who looked like avriel (from my church). he and his gf had this easy intimacy on the bus and kept touching and light kisses and nipping. gawh.
then later this girl from my primary sch, HGS, comes on board with HER bf. gosh. she's super super pretty now. i mean she was pretty back then too. i cant remember her name anymore except she used to hang out with tanya.
then when i got off the bus to meet mich at parkway. i saw the OTHER girl who used to hang out with tanya and the girl on the bus. hahah. its so funny. and i think she half-recognized me coz she stopped talking and looked at me but i kinda rushed up the overhead bridge. (it was drizzling and i just wanted to get to shelter).
and just when you think that's the end of it. i saw yan ting (from my sec sch) rushing in from the taxi stand at parkway with HER BF. =.= hahaha. i was like omgawhh. what is this? meet all your ex-schoolmates day?

to my surprise and somewhat horror-amusement, i found photos of my friend and his younger brother both whom i havent seen for a year or so. and my first thought to it was 'omg, ***** looks HAWT'. sadly its not the older one but the younger one i thought was hot. =x
ermmm.. i know i previously agreed that no matter what happens we would not mention this 'thing' with debs, i think. but its true. >.<

I WANT TO SHOP!
arghs. i seriously seriously am dying of being deprived of shopping. i told WJ the other day that if i had a chance to go on holiday anywhere, i would just choose the US. not for sight-seeing (although hopefully maybe in the future) but for now, i would love to go to the malls and shop like money was made out of seawater -there's plenty of that, no doubt.
oh yeah. today is WJ's sister bday. so.. happy birthday mercede.

ohmygawwh. i havent blogged since tuesday. oopsies. hahha. i think i got too distracted by com games again. hehehe.
anyways. yesterday was a BLAST! i think i really thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed myself again for some time. so.. had an excursion to MDA(i think?) anyways its located one floor above the OA office -this is where people get legally/officially bankrupted. i guess everyone was kinda disappointed coz they showed us clips of two films. one about homosexualism and the other, terrorism. neither that interesting.
okay. just as a point. i'm open about people being gay and gay people getting together/married. but watching that gay scene, i felt uncomfortable. i know.. kinda hypocritical. but it isnt. i mean, you wouldnt want to catch your parents or friends in the midst of a bedroom frenzy right? same thing.
later went to maxwell hawker centre for lunch. didnt see anything i was terribly interested in so i kinda watched the guys eat. then we walked back over to the building coz they had some kind of exhibition and it was kinda fun. they had some interactive activities which were kinda funny.
then later then slacked around bugis. we kept running away from someone lo. =x hehe. so paiseh. i think it was super funny overall. coz we didnt want to go back to class and we were afraid that andy (the only one who did go) would scold us about abandoning him. hahha. so me, darren, ryan and amit walked aimlessly around bugis before finally settling at J.Co. Donuts to slack.
oh yeah. i feel super super good coz played mahjong that night. woohoo~! I LOVE MAHJONG. at first i kept losing and WJ kept winning. then suddenly my mom and my grandma started winning. then when my sis took over my luck changed. hehee. i won quite a fair bit. especially one round when WJ had to pony up nearly all his winnings to me coz i won with 4 doubles i think. wahhaahha. okae i'm kinda on a drunk high now. and i doubt i'm making proper sense so.. later!

Subject: Petition: High Bus Fares for Polytechnic students
Dear all,
Petition: High Bus Fares for Polytechnic students
There is a petition started by a Polytechnic student, asking the Bus Companies to revise the fares for Poly students. Currently the Poly students are paying much higher. This is because the Polytechnic is classified under Tertiary Education, but it is not for the Junior Colleges (JCs) and Institute of Technical Education (ITE).
As a Poly student myself, I feel that it is unfair that SBS Transit and SMRT are charging the Poly students almost double for the bus and train concessions when compared to those in the JCs and ITE.
If you feel that it is unfair and biased that the Bus Companies are charging us higher, please sign this petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/polybus/
Please spread the Online Petition URL to others studying in the Polytechnics as well, spread it to your individual Interest Groups (IGs), CCAs, and so on
=========================
this person is from Temasek Business School.
all i can comment is HAH! do you think you're the only underprivileged one? that its unfair that you pay more than JC and ITE students? then can you please take a look at us students at private schools.
dont give the crap excuse of 'you rich kid ma'. believe me, if that were the case, these schools would cease to exist because more than likely about 1 out of 10 students actually have 'rich daddies'. a friend of mine has to work full time and study part time, slogging his guts out because he was denied a further education in singapore schools. and so, he pays through the nose for a degree just so he could get a better job in the future.
the thing is the moment you go over to private school, the government pretends A) you either dont exist in the school system or B) you have 'betrayed' singapore and gone over to foreign schools.
most of us have no choice because despite working hard or not-at-all for O/A levels/Poly, we did not recieve the required grade to continue elsewhere or, like me, did not get what i wanted.
sadly i also pay adult fare now because private schools dont qualify as any sort of education on an ez-link. seriously it sucks. we dont get perks. you can complain about bus fare but how about when you go to a movie or restaurants or fast food places that offer discounts to students? we certainly dont have that privilege. oh by the way, neither do we get heavily subsidised diplomas or degrees. we pay top dollar because we have no other choice and not because we want to.
so again Mister/Miss Temasek Business School. before you complain, look at others too. you're outraged at paying adult fare but did you notice this? that your school food is probably cheaper/ serves bigger portions? correct me if i'm wrong but i heard that temasek has a canteen run by the culinary students and for a three course meal, you pay the amount you usually pay for one dish in a hawker centre?
if you still insist on paying student fares, why not include us private school students? or are we seen are scum of the earth to you too? believe or not, we are all rejects from JCs so there's no reason for you to look down on us either.

craaaaaaaaap. i feel so sickly today. seriously, all i want is to switch on the aircon and fan to full blast and crawl back under my blankets. oh, and some peace and quiet for fuck's sake. geez. i dont get it why my grandma has this longstanding tradition to argue DAILY with the maid. its no wonder they dont want to stay behind the contracted two years.
went to watch the quantam of solace yesterday. it felt so weird coz i couldnt eat popcorn since i put on my retainer. then later went to buy starbucks while WJ queued up for taxi. stupid bloody starbucks workers. they had those sort of troublesome customers yet two of them were doing godknowswhat while the queue got longer and angrier. -.-
oh yeah. i finally caught up with all my shows. i finished off two of my favorite animes again (Gatekeepers & Gatekeepers 21). [technically i dont like the spin-off but heck] heh. debs, i still love love them!! =D

OMGG!! Barack Obama won the US presidential elections! Whoooo~. he's gonna be the 44th president in the history of US presidents.
-gives a collective sigh-
i cant imagine if McCain won coz then Palin would take over as he's so frail, he might K.O. anytime. -shudders- that woman would send women and women rights back into prehistoric times if she took over.
hahaha. although i'm not a US citizen, i'm still pretty thrilled about it. its breaking racial divides which exist all over the world. OBAMA FOR CHANGE! =D

aaaaaah. i'm so addicted to hayden pattiniere's (sp?) 'wake up call'. and the music video is so hawt. when i first listened to it, i thought it sounded familiar then later when i moved on to other music, i came across paris hilton's starts are blind and it struck me! the background music is so similar to one another. heh. but if she does release a cd, i think i'll buy it. (fyi, i can totally hear WJ groaning about me shopping and spending money.)
anyways happy anniversary WJ. two years. mymymy. =) hahaha. he asked me a load of questions and bless him, all he got was vague and/or complex answers. iloveWJ. =D
oh yeah. tyy to nabeelah and others who remembered. kinda stunned when nabeelah msged me about it especially since i havent kept in contact. okae. now i feel guilty. =( i think i should have been a better friend and at least msning with my sec sch friends. it feels like it was such a long time ago. and in truth, it has. i've moved on from those bearings, and i'm not bothered to wait for them. sad but true.
whatever the case. somehow we probably touched each other's lives. especially M, J, Filz and Chris. if anything happens, i'm just a phone call away. on my honor.
so damn creepy sia. this morning WJ dad called my hp. so i handed it to WJ. even though i couldnt hear the whole convo, can tell it was something worrisome. then when WJ hung up, he told me some scammer called up his mom and told her that they had beaten up and kidnapped WJ!!! i was like wtfff.
well.. apparently the guy pretended to be WJ and told his mom that they wanted a ransom of $10k, then i think his mom found it suspicious then told them to go and die. LOL. but i felt really bad coz his parents must be so worried so i insisted we go to his house to assure his parents that he is really safe.
and when we got there, his uncle later admitted there was an article in the chinese news paper about phone scams, ppl pretending to be kidnappers and demanding ransoms. obviously in chinese so i dont really know what else it said aside from what his uncle told us. creepy uh.

well.. apparently the guy pretended to be WJ and told his mom that they wanted a ransom of $10k, then i think his mom found it suspicious then told them to go and die. LOL. but i felt really bad coz his parents must be so worried so i insisted we go to his house to assure his parents that he is really safe.
and when we got there, his uncle later admitted there was an article in the chinese news paper about phone scams, ppl pretending to be kidnappers and demanding ransoms. obviously in chinese so i dont really know what else it said aside from what his uncle told us. creepy uh.
what we could have been, 11:15 pm.

yeah. wasnt feeling too good so i skipped school today. honestly i dont ever feel like going back to sma. am thinking of studying elsewhere but at the mo, its like the most convenient and not as expensive as the alternative.
so spent the whole day trying to repair my sims2 game, which by the way i am so blardy pissed at, coz it still doesnt work. and in fact got worst. i can imagine the whole slew of EA fans storming the EA hq around the world demanding refunds or a proper, fully tested and user-friendly update. hahha.
now watching jap anime. about to finish the Magic Knight Rayearth series. i know i know, its like WHAT? its a really old manga, i was like 4 when it came out. but i grew to love it coz i watched it daily both on axn and on kidscentral when i was about 10-11. i trawling to find the OVA of the show but none of those freebie websites have it. darn. gonna search more later. =/
oh yeah. i read 'the other Boleyn girl' (which was made into a movie). and seriously the book is better than the movie. although the movie is probably more graphical than the book can ever get. it doesnt follow the story neither does it make sense. coz the endings are kinda different coz the storyline of the movie didnt follow the book so the movie's ending, although prob more interesting than the book's, it doesnt explain the situation.
btw, it was NOT of incest that George Boleyn was excuted for but in fact, homosexuality. George Boleyn was suspected to be gay and had multiple gay partners, who were also tried and excuted alongside George.
Anne Boleyn's lead to excution was when she gave birth to a monster-child. it was deformed, splayed and a head twice the normal size. it was suspected that Anne either used withcraft/potions to concieve OR had sex with George to produce a love-child, hopefully a male, who would be passed off as King Henry's heir. it was then King Henry had her tried for seducing him with magic. and in the past, to be a witch was one of the ultimate sins and Anne was either to be excuted or burned alive.
Mary had two kids by the king, Catherine and Henry. Catherine was 13 and not 5, as shown in the movie. Catherine witnessed the excution of her aunt, Queen Anne. Mary's husband, Carey, died and she later remarried and had a daughter, Anne, while Queen Anne was still alive.
omggg. i love those fiction-history books. i mean i doubt all of it was naturally true but still.. i could imagine myself there. sigh. to be in those times with all those chivalrous yet dishonest men. oooh. -shivers-

woke up super duper early today coz i had a dental appointment. then travelled down to alexandra hospital. i saw that person again. -.- the dentist fitted the retainer in. and she was amazed that i managed to speak rather normally after that. and it doesnt count that i previously used retainers coz that was like four years age.
okae. for those who have just put on retainers, if you can say 'sixty-six' or 'precedence' without slurring it then the retainer will probably never affect your speech. lucky me.
later went to lunch at GW with bro and mom. ate at the japanese restaurant, ichiban-something. hahaha. omggg. its so hard to eat now. coz i cant take the retainers out EXCEPT when i want to wash it or when i go swimming (no idea why). so i stuck mainly to sushi and salmon. yums! later bought back more sushi and sashimi for tea/midnight snack. dammit. i forgot what a pain it is having retainers. =/
oh yeah. there were some caucasian kids who were celebrating a birthday there. i think its kinda sad. coz they couldnt choose what they wanted to eat. the two moms there choose soba (the green noodles) and two plain types of sushi to share among like eight people. i was like wtfff? that's really damn sad. even on normal days, i get to pick what i want (within reasonable price la).
my mom says its coz the caucasians arent so worried about 'face'. like for us chinese, it is important to splash out on parties, especially on the food, coz it would be embarrassing to invite people to come and have a meal and then for them to go back feeling hungry or unsatisfied. i think that's the difference. coz the caucasians merely invited them to celebrate while when the chinese celebrate, they'll tend to overcompensate.
i should know. my birthday parties are examples. i still have pictures from my infancy to about ten where i would have pool parties, swenson's party or parties at the singapore version of the US 'PlaySpace', an indoor playground with ball pits and climbing equipment. i remember parties at Macdonald's, costume parties or unique places. like this year, my brother went to a party at some reservoir where they had set up an adventure track for kids. the food would always be catered (prob out of convenience) and there would be quite a fair bit of leftovers.
EDIT* i think some ppl might disagree with me. coz from what i know, WJ never got to celebrate his bday or get presents from anyone until we started going out. it may make me sound spoiled but i was kinda shocked when he told me he never had a proper bday cake (those specialized yet commercialized from bakeries and not those lame cakes with just fruits on it and then you stick the plastic 'happy birthday' thing in).
so maybe its not everyone who feels that way. but from where i am now, and my group of friends growing up and even now, we do celebrate. maybe not a full blast party but just getting together, having a cake and opening presents. (again, i sound like an ingrate but its damn fricking true nowadays. if someone throws an extravagant party, the guests or parents of the guest feel they have to compensate it by buying a more expensive than usual gift as well). [btw, dont believe me then read the book 'playdate'. it shows us more of the 'normal' middle-class to upperclass lifestyles of today compared to maybe ten years ago].
then went to buy Island Creamery ice cream for my sister. i know she likes it so i asked my mom to go buy for her. now there is two tubs of new zealand ice cream and three tubs of island creamery ice cream in the freezer. heh. my family is pro-ice cream. =D
arrr. i wanna watch my jap anime. so tata! =D
