Ow.

This was partially done yesterday(31/5), continued the rest today(1/6):

Today was... exhausting. But it's not over yet.

So hmm. Got up at 9, TRIED to eat breakfast but ended up with my mom working up my brother and I couldn't eat in the end. Ended up showering and getting ready to go at 10 for my 11 o clock x ray appointment and Alpha Dental at Temasek Tower which was at TANJONG FUCKING PAGAR.

Got completely lost at Temasek Tower. Turns out that it's actually a full blown hotel-like office building, cause when I took the lift, there was no first floor (which was where the dentist was located). I ended up going to the next lowest floor which was the SEVENTH. Took ANOTHER lift down to the 1st, asked for directions and finally made it to the stupid small dentist.

The staff were all pretty unfriendly. It looked like a very superficial place. The girls that were getting stuff done to their teeth there had attitude problems.

The dentist that did my x rays and molds was a bit... too friendly. When I was taking off my ear studs, he told me to take off my dog tag as well. Before I did, he just grabbed it and looked at it (it was a chest level mind you). Maybe i'm jumping to conclusions but it felt a little uncomfortable.

When he was taking file pictures of my teeth, he stuck his legs between mine. Freaky or what.

But he was good looking. Better looking version of the plastic surgeon that did the crack in my head. In fact, he was REALLY good looking.

The molds were DISGUSTING. BLegh. I was gagging nonstop but he just kept telling me to breathe through my nose. So slimy and yeeech. The metal casings hurt my gums too.

When it came to payment, I had $0 on me. Why? Cause pa told me they'd bill our dentist directly. Turns out he was WRONG. So they kept my x rays, and I had to run all the way to fucking SP near Dover MRT to get cash. He also gave me money for lunch and the camera which the guy said was gonna be ready by today. So before heading back to get my x rays, I met surin to see him in his braces. So cute I tell you. I always had a soft spot for guys with braces.

Then went back to tanjong pagar to get the x rays. The hot perverted dentist was still there and looked startled when I thanked him after he passed me the x rays. Weird man.

Then went down to the camera shop in bedok to pick up BLOOP! But it was in their holland V branch fucking hell!!! So I just went straight to paya lebar to see the dentist after changing my 4.30 appointment to 3.30. But when I reached there, the clerk said my appointment was at 4.30. It went like this;

Me: 4.30? I called didn't I?
Cl: Yes you did.
Me: Yeah.. I called and changed my appointment. You said the earliest you could make it was 3.30.
Cl: Oh. *looks down* Okay, but you'll have to wait awhile.

And you know what? I waited an hour, went in at FOUR FUCKING THIRTY. Bloody hell.

He put in these... separators. They bear scary resemblence to keychain links. So I have keychain links wedged between my back molars. I haven't been able to chew all day, I didn't eat at all. Just ate chips with Aniek whlie watching star wars, chewing pathetically with my incisors.

Bah. Got A Math tomorrow. But i'm gonna watch Madagascar tonight! After playing pool with Surin. Yay! Ok bye.

I hope this is the last of it.

Okay. Last one. After this, I wash my hands of anything that had to do with Friday and the way Fi felt about it.

We don't have a problem with Fi hanging out with you. At all. Not a single bit. It wasn't even about that.

I just didn't like the way I was treated like a spare tyre. When you're not around, when basically every other one of Fi's friends weren't around, only then would she approach me. That's all there is to it.

THAT'S when your name was mentioned. But it was NOT a part of what was said on Friday at all.

And that's all I brought up to her. I don't know how she took it, cause Fatimah did majority, if not almost all of the talking, 3/4 of which I wasn't even around cause my dad came to school for the P-T meeting.

I'm not trying to control Fi, I have no intention of separating you from her either.

Sigh. Thank god i'm babysitting tomorrow. I need some respite (ENGLISH TYS YARGH) from all this bullshit, be it my BROTHER, who was an EXTREME pain in the ass today that I almost went nuts and broke down. Even when we went bowling, he kept harping on his birthday presents and what I MUST buy for him and how the stupid maid had brainwashed him into saying the numbers 1 to 10 in malay in a weird tune.

Not to mention how he was talking absolutely NON FUCKING STOP when I tried to sweep upstairs or even take a nap.

I didn't even get a chance to play Chrono Cross! Which I got back from Marianne by the way, YAY!

I miss surin dreadfully. I haven't seen him in a week and i'm dying to see him. SO let's sum up every bad thing that has happened recently.

1. Gonna fail malay O's (thanks marr, though =D)
2. Syaz is angry at me
3. Ash has been forcing me to come home by 3pm EVERYDAY for the past miserable month to put up with his non stop babbling, instigations to rile himself up and hogging of the telly
4. I haven't seen Surin in DAYS. DAYS I TELLS YOU.
5. I haven't bought Ash's stupid birthday present
6. I have yet to get my camera back
7. The facial I went to, no matter how 'princessy' I felt, they still did a bad job
8. I haven't played chrono cross yet!!!!
9. I HAVEN'T GOT A COSTUME FOR ASH'S SUPERHERO PARTY!!!

Camera people said the camera's ready, but can only be picked up after 2 tomorrow, and pa's only coming back at 7!!! I wanna bring it to Aunty Gogi's apartment and go crazy taking pictures.

Gonna watch Star Wars on wednesday with Surin though. Yay! Will probably buy Ash's present then.

I'll update about today some other time. It's late and I have a dental appointment at 11. Bah.

AAAAAAAAAGGGHH.

SYAZANA LISTEN HERE.

I have no intention to fight with you, argue with you and whatnot. You're misunderstanding the whole thing.

Your name was NOT mentioned, I repeat, NOT MENTIONED in our 'confrontation'. We were NOT talking about you, we were talking about Fi. And why are you picking on me??? I was there for FIFTEEN MINUTES MIND YOU. Out of the possible hour they were talking, I was barely there. On top of that, I didn't even say much! My part in the whole thing was minimal.

I understand you're her best friend, I know you want to help, but Fi came to school today as normal as ever. We spoke to her as per normal, we joked as per normal.

Alright? I already have enough problems as it is with my brother being a pain in the ass. I feel my head is going to explode with his non stop talking and trying to piss me off so he can get violent again. Then there's failing Malay O's.

Everyone just... GO AWAY for awhile.

Sunday, May 29, 2005

Oookay..

Syaz, you must've gotten the wrong idea.

I understand you're her best friend and whatnot, but this isn't the best place to talk about it. I don't wanna paint Fi as a villain.

Why i'm so okay about it?

Well I got it off my chest, I told her, and she couldn't care less. So neither will I. I will still treat her normally, as civil as I usually treat others.

So anyway. The O level MT paper is tomorrow. I think I might fail it. Today i'll study lah, first time in my life i'm studying for Malay, but I don't know how much it'll help me when Shafie doesn't even give us the answers.

I should also NOT read the malay english dictionary. Tried and Failed.

Aunty Gogi came yesterday! Ash was making the biggest fuss in the airport, yelling and screaming, and everyone was looking at him. Aniek remembered primela and vickesh, but forgot me. Boohoo. David's got a gameboy SP. Not really a big fan of gameboy anymore, my hands are too big, I prefer ps2 controllers.

David's really crap at video games. Maybe it's cause he's only 6 and a half. Me and Vickesh will always remain pro baby.

Ma and aunty man did their usual trip. But the 5 goonz aren't bothered anymore.

Their service apartment's located along fort road and they've got awesome pool views of other condos. You know the nice ones you see along the ECP? Those.

I NEED MY DIGITAL CAMERA NOW! Bloody camera people. "Oh we'll call them tomorrow blahblahblah."

YAY graduation concert! Can the multiracials please confirm who is going cause i'm buying tix from yiling and salwa. I'm just going in jeans lah. Maybe with nice shoes. Won't overdo it like in sec 2, won't... underdo it in sec 3.

My sneakers gave me blisters! BASTARDS. Just cause I didn't wear socks. So pain man.

Oh oh yesterday me and kim went to the place down the road. It's called Miss Cafe. Very very nice. Had spaghetti and a float and she had the same 'cept she had a sprite instead. Altogether it was $24! Cheap or what.

Talked about everything under the sun. I gave her Hershey's Kisses for her birthday cause I thought she could use something else to de-stress that wasn't coffee. Knowing how her mom gets on her case, her dad working and not at home as often as he used to be, I understand.

Then left the place at around 3.40pm, went home and left for the airport. We picked them up, went to their service apartment then east coast for dinner. The adults went to the miss cafe (upon my recommendation heheh) while the rest bummed around at my house. Aniek wore my clothes, stuffed one of my bras with socks, and wore the granny panties my goon classmates bought for me for my birthday.

Aunty gogi bought loads of cool stuff for us. Ash got 2 batman DVDs, vickesh got really manly smelling hair gel, shampoo, and a funky radio alarm clock, primela got something I can't remember, I got this fcuk body spray and body wash or something!! The box is damn nice man. I'll take a pic and show you guys soon.

My malay TYS is sitting in front of me. Waiting. I'm so tired. The rain is really making me switch into SLEEP MODE.

I went to TM just now in my sesame street count t-shirt and black shorts. My sleepwear. Just to pass ma her charger so she could trade her 6100 in for that 7260 fashion phone or something. It was free cause it came with a new plan too.

I waaaant the moto razr v3. Mr bloody Fathul has it! He took it out one day I think to check a message or something, and I went, "Oh wow mr fathul is that a V3?"

Then he went yes yes wanna see? I almost blew up in excitement. It was soo... electrifying to hold. Everyone crowded around with their ooohs and aaahs. I was about to take a picture before mr fathul demanded I return it.

He's really weird. I asked him if he could help me pass miss heng the PLs captain's ball form, and then he said, "The captain's ball's form?"

Ugh.

Right ok. I can't procrastinate further. Adieu!

Hurh.

0705 Thursday Morning

Dad walks in.

"Aruna, you don't have school today ah?"

*checks clock* "Oh. Shit. I do."

"Haha. Never mind. One day you miss school won't die right."

"Haha ok good night."

0730

Mom walks in.

"Aruna. Get up, go to school now."

I reached school at 7.45am. Kok yong and azhari were like "Shiok lah you come so late."
Thank god we didn't have to run lah.

Today was bloody stupid. Being the first (indecks number lah), pa would have to come at 9am. Oh but noooo.... he has meetings with vietnamese people. So he came at 12pm.

Got 4th in class, 28th in level. Disappointing nonetheless. I MUST DO BETTER.

To think throughout lower sec, I was getting outrageous positions in the 130s and 120s. Then at the end of sec 2, I was so determined to get my mother out of my face, I studied like fuck at got 93rd in the level. I hope this won't spark controversy, cause there were a few conflicts between 3/2 and 3/3 2004 about those who didn't deserve to get into 3/2.

Then again, I fufilled the criteria.

Ok enough about all that.

We watched drumline and men in black 2 in the hall after malay intensive. Watched both a gazillion times already. Drumline is too cool lah.

Had a few problems to settle with the bahluls. I hope everything's alright ya.

Not to mention fatimah. How much courage it takes to confront your friends ON THE SPOT and still is able to stand up for others.

Muchos appreciatas saliman, you rock.

So pa saw miss tan. He's proud of me. *beams*

There really wasn't much to say, so he just mentioned something about english, and she had gone to her table to take something. He turned to me and said, "Just kacau kacau a bit lah" *BIGWINK*

Full of naansense lah he. But funny. Went to eat meepok at simpang after that, and had a bit of father-daughter bonding time. Talked about me going to Murdoch (if I can make it), and mentioned a pre-uni course.

Right after my o's, depending on my results, I can go straight to Murdoch's pre-university and do a year-long course there. This of course would increase my chances of being accepted into Murdoch Uni, already being enrolled.

But that's just scary. It's not in 2 years time, it's NEXT YEAR. How like that?

I already emailed the Murdoch guy, whom very kindly sent me another email asking if I had anything else to clarify.

Scary yet exciting.

Even if I miraculously do make it into Murdoch, i'll have to stay with pa's friend Uncle Morgan or something. And go through the whole Uncle Rama and Aresha thing again. Obviously i'd have to move away from there sooner or later.

That's only IF. But i'm getting ahead of myself here.

Ahhh ok. Kim was supposed to meet me for a drink at around4. Postponed to evening, postponed to dinner, can't make it for dinner, postponed to tomorrow afternoon.

Can't wait to meet her. We're going to this fancy place just down the road. Not simpang. It's near the factories there. Maybe i'll bring you guys there one day. Yes a fancy restaurant opened there. It looks something like Gelare, but nicer. And it's 2 minutes from my house!

*mimics ero bra model*
Perrrrfect.

Whoopsidoo!

I meant to post this yesterday. Sorry hor, forgot to add in the link.

The Bahluuuls watch House of Wax!

Is it just me, or is that random hate tag so abso-fucking-lutely amusing?

Ok tell you what, person-who-is-oh-so-fond-of-hexes, you eat the shit, i'll chew the bubblegum. I think that's fair.


After browsing the pictures, I need to do 3 things. Braces, facial, cut my bloody hair. It's too long already.

Oh oh eh eh guess what guess what!!!

I STAND UNDEFEATED FOR BIO! WOohooooo!! Only A1 in class, baby! And Mrs Tan's taking out the 6 people who scored A's for bio for lunch! So nice. She has yet to clarify the details of the bio trip, but it's confirmed. It's gonna be so much fun.

Hmm yeah. Today seemed extra fun for some reason. During Malay SSS, I wrote the longest karangan of my life man! 375 words! It was a narrative. I wrote about my house catching fire. I think I screwed it up lah but i'm quite proud of myself.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE SPEED OF SOUND VIDEO??? GO AND FUCKING SEE IT!

It's soooo nice. It's full of lights and everything, but it's just the way the song's been presented. The band's SO INTO IT, you can FEEL it watching the video.

Can't wait to see a million and one repeats on MTV. And i'm not being sarcastic. I can watch Coldplay videos for hours on end.

Just now this gigantic butterfly flew into the house. Ash was SCREAMING like a little girl. At first I thought some stranger or serial killer walked into the house but he was yelling BUTTERFLY and pointed frantically at the wall when I walked halfway down the stairs. Dog would just stare at it, and run to me. Chicken.

It flew around with a bit of difficulty, cause its wings looked a little torn. Ash locked himself out at the back and closed ALL the windows of the study. I took the broom and eased it out. It kept flying back in though. So after awhile I quickly shut the sliding door and window and it flew out into the field. A happy ending!

I went to Cards N Such yesterday with Fatimah. All this while, i've noticed the REALLY NICE music they play there, so Fatimah was so kind and helped me ask the lady what cd was playing. She said it was this $100+ album called the blue bar and could only be bought from The CD Shop or That CD Shop or something opposite far east. It sounds sooo nice. So i'm downloading all of it illegally of limewire cause I found the tracklist online. HOORAY THAR INTARNEET.

Back to why today was extra fun. We had some drama thing in school after recess. It was quite funny yet irritating. Brian and Andrew volunteered to act a bit and they embarassed themselves quite a bit. The toby guy and the malay dood were funny though.

"BABOOM!" hahaha.

Then after that the PLs left earlier to do PCCG. It was really fun cause we could play any game we liked. Aniq was being a goon as usual and Fareez gave me a sweet! Haha it was actually a bribe lah, cause i'm his SENIOR hohoho.

Shafiq also made fun of me in front of my class (1/6 lah). Kept singing the Ayam Brand Chilli RUNA. Not tuna.

After half an hour of playing whacko, I went outside and talked cock with John Paul and Fareez. Later some random guy went to Fareez and offered him some Pocky looking biscuit, but it wasn't. I asked him whether I could have it, and he gave it to me! Is that nice or what. So random. It's some sec 3 guy named haiqkal or haiqal. Chubby adorable fella. Not the stupid gay haikel everyone hates though.

Then me aniq fi and fareez did a stupid billy banja outside class when we saw jean getting her class to do it. So fun. I'll really miss my juniors man. Not to mention 1/6. AND ANWAR!!!

Ok Zoolander's finished downloading! Time to watch it.

Tuesday, May 24, 2005

YAY!

I meant to post yesterday, but desperate housewives started before I could even finish uploading all the pictures of our crazy bahluul fun yesterday!

Yep. The Bahluuls watch House of Wax!

It sucks seriously. The trailer looks really nice and all, but the movie SUCKED. The plot was shit, the actors were shit, and paris hilton was in it just for show. What's new. When we first stepped into the cinema, it was full of people our age, and we were thinking HEY IT'S GONNA BE PRETTY FUN but we were so wrong. We were the noisiest, well the only people making any form of noise in the cinema, be it screaming or calling the actors bahluuuls. It was pretty sad.

*May Contain Spoilers. Do Not Continue Unless You Wanna Ruin The Movie For Yourself*

Well, the part with the guy meeting the stupid teenagers and the smelly festering pit of decomposing roadkill was fucking gross, and it bore ABSOLUTELY NO relation to the plot whatsoever. Hey, they were gonna meet and get to the creepy town sooner or later, but the roadkill pit?

The beginning was tolerable, the part where the couple went into the town. I thought the funeral part was cool too, how everyone was wax and they didn't realise it.

Ahh I'm too lazy to summarise how bad it was. It just was. Don't waste your money on it if you were intending to. Watch madagascar instead.

Ok back to yesterday. Luqman wasn't 16 so he borrowed Shafiq's (4/1) ez link card! Haha goon. Suhailah was the only one without identification that she was (she wasn't) 16, and the lady at the ticket counter was persistant. Luqman and me kept telling her we were of age and that we were buying for our friends, and we had identification for ourselves. After about 5 minutes, she gave in, saying that they'd ask at the door and if we weren't 16, they wouldn't let us in and they won't refund us.

Suhailah was a bit shaken up by this, but we reassured her cause we all were 16 and luqman got shafiq's card, so they'd give us benefit of the doubt.

We had one and a half hours to burn, so we ate fries and played burger burger at the tables near the mac and kfc counter. No more free refills, and they increase the prices. Not fair man.

This lady suddenly came up to us out of absolutely NO WHERE, invited herself to sit with us and introduced this expensive pirated CK perfume that smelt like talcum powder. Freebies this and that and she got lost after 15 minutes.

Bhais get a lot of holidays ah! I'm looking at this mini sikh calendar right now that my mom put next to the woofer and keeps falling off. 15 days of holidays, excluding christmas and all that.

Ash has been lying on the floor downstairs for 10 minutes. I told him i'd pretend to handcuff him (his current obsession is police academy THE MOVIE) but I didn't touch him. I was upstairs for crying out loud. I just made handcuffy noises and told him to lie down on the floor for 2 hours.

And he did.

Ahhh yay I've got so many fun things planned this week. Facial, Aunty Gogi coming on saturday, and I FINALLY confirmed my dental appointment. Aresha's good ol' dentist, the indian fella that's pa's 'AQUAINTANCE'. He refused to call him his friend. Selfish bugger. Gonna get braces woohooo!!

But now that you think about it, surin's getting braces on sunday, i'm getting braces... soon. Haha we can call ourselves the metalmouths or something.

And him getting braces so soon was a wake up call for me to wake up my idea and bloody call the freaking dentist.

Aiyah. I scanned a tissue that I bit to show that my 2 front teeth are at a 90 degree angle, but it's not scanning nicely. Highly amusing though.

I think today was hot indian boy day. I was at tampines mall buying pa's and salwa's birthday. I bought him a really cool mug and card btw. So at the interchange right, it was CHOCK full of indian doods man. And it wasn't like typical uniform-clad indian goons, they were dressed normally, some with their jc friends, some standing around talking. I didn't really look lah, I just pointed it out to Fatimah.

Yeah so... I think pa's present is quite nice. The mug is small, but nice lah. I'm not being thoughtless. Besides, I can't really think of anything else AFFORDABLE that he'd actually use.

Okay well.. that's all then! For now.

Friday, May 20, 2005

Gah I mixed everything up. I thought the malay intensive course I signed up for was tomorrow, so I scheduled everything else on Sunday. Turns out the course's on SUNDAY, so I had to move the facial with primela to thursday cause they're fully booked tomorrow.

Bah. So tomorrow's gonna be completely free. Guess i'll spend it doing SS and Geog, for which I got 30/50. Well I gotta be happy I passed. But a B4 for humanities? Bah.

Kinda disappointed with SS especially. I screwed up qn 4, the squatters question. I hadn't studied that part at ALL. So I just bullshitted my way through, and managed a measly 7 marks. What Mr Fathul said was true, we really didn't give our 100% for this. Wan Li got 39 man! He's so pro at SS. And chemistry. He really helped me with chem man.

Speaking of Chem, I got a B3 for chem, but yiling told me I got a 72 for physics, upon 100 lah, so it pulls my science up to an A2. So science A2, e math A1, humans B4 (ugh), english C6... long story, malay HAHA DON'T EVEN ASK. But I passed paper 1! Better than the ex-prefect Rajidin from sec 5! Cikgu Shafie showed me. He kept telling me not to berputus asa over and over.

I just wanna get a C6. God, please.

Ok english. It sucked seriously. I barely passed paper 2. It was so... DEFINITE. All the bloody answers have to be so freaking specific. Word for word. I hate Miss Liew even more now. Miss Khoo said that the papers should NEVER be marked by the class's english teacher, and yet that happened. 4/3 and 4/1. Miss Khoo refused to comment, but obviously putting 2 and 2 together, we realised that that may be the only reason why 4/3 did better. They did worse last year, and I don't see any reason for us to do worse this time around.

And paper 1.. where do I start. I failed it. 27 upon 60. Why? Even Miss Khoo was shocked. She told me she had specifically taken my paper to her colleagues to see if they agreed that I should get more marks. Which I should've, but I admit it's entirely my fault. Why? CAUSE I DIDN'T PARAGRAPH MY ACCOUNT.

I have no idea why I didn't. I could have gotten another nine marks, Miss Khoo told me herself, and I could've gotten 36! Stupid Miss Tan-i-don't-shave-my-armpits-and-dress-like-a-retard-Yok Siew.

My exposition was just... bad. Expositions are my... forte in a way. Not as good as Carlos lah, but still good nonetheless. She fucking QUESTIONS my descriptions? Why the hell are you asking me why I used a particular description? You're a goddamned english teacher for fuck's sake! She gave Carlos such low marks for HIS exposition, which is just stupid cause he's GOD when it comes to anything argumentative (even though he lost the euthanasia debate hehe).

So yeah. I won't disclose how much I got for the respective sections, cause I just... screwed it up. Blah. Miss Khoo was crying in class today. Seeing her cry made me cry too. On top of that fact that I failed paper 1.

So yeah. I knew today was gonna be fucked up when a bird shat on my shoe on my way to school in the morning.

AND I got my shitty (not bloody, i'm sick of puns) period. BLARGH.

Fatimah and Nurul came over after school for just an hour. We really had no mood to do anything. We just ate lunch, watched MTV and they left. I also started to have cramps so I napped till Ash came home.

I saw coldplay's old In My Place video on MTV. God I miss their videos, I miss Guy Berryman. My favourite bassist. He's so camera shy, it's so CUTE. Must... download... trouble video... european version... guy berryman being tied up....

Horhorhorhorhor.

I feel like watching A Lot Like Love with that Ashton Kutcher monkey. I don't really like him lah, but the movie looks really sweet, especially on Aqualung's Brighter than Sunshine video. I love that song man.

Oh oh oh the bio trip's been confirmed! Woohoo! Almost lah, but I'm starting to have my doubts. I mean, come on. 2 more weeks till the tentative date, and still no consent forms.

I really hope it's not on the 3rd week of june. I might be having my period then, and yiling's got her graduation concert to practice for, and it just WON'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT HER.

And bloop MUST BE BACK BY THEN. In fact, I want it back by today. Tomorrow. Sunday. JUST SOON PLEASE. I'm gonna die if I don't get it back soon. So many fun things have past without taking any pictures!

And we're gonna watch house of wax on monday! So I NEED my camera.

The bio trip, if it's in the first week of june, i'll miss ash's birthday. But Aresha's only coming back on the 4th, and we're postponing ash's party. So maybe I can pick up a costume and his present there! Maybe la huh.

Eh. Something really weird happened yesterday. I brought up the subject of the bio trip to ma, and she immediately said yes. Just as I was about to tell her I did well for E math to convince her, she said "oh don't worry this time round I won't regard your marks". YAY! DOING HOUSEWORK COUNTS!

And I just found out that the singer of Blur is 2D of the Gorillaz! Haw mah gaawhd. I had no idea. Now that i'm comparing song after song, I just realised it. How convenient, both from my favourite bands.

And Aresha, no plasma tv. Just.. no. It's not a anniversary present to them man, it's a birthday present to ma. Buy them a holiday package instead. Cheaper.

Yay!

The movie marathon today was so fun! Watched 2 and one-sixth movies.

After paper 3 (which was terribly bhoring), we galavanted to NTUC behind school to pick up some suitable movie-watching food. We didn't buy much, just cookies n cream ice cream and a bottle of coke and f&n zappel (?).

After that we took a 31 to Fi's lavish condo. Easpoint Green has the 2nd nicest condo lobby i've seen so far. The nicest would probably be... Bayshore Park or the Bayshore or something. The big beige buildings next to the ECP. Aresha took us there to meet someone once when she was doing her DiabloFest event stuff.

So anyway, we went up to her house and unloaded the stuff, moved the coffee table to the side and lay down on her carpet in front of her humongous telly. We TRIED to watch Kung Fu Hustle, but the quality was SO terrible I tell you. I never tried it before, so I just realised then and there how crappy it was. It was blur, the sound quality was shit, and ON TOP OF THAT, it was skipping non-stop.

So we gave up trying to watch it, and put it Fatimah's Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo. It was so damn funny man. I remember watching it 2 years ago with Aresha on channel 5 while marking pa's maritime exam papers.

"SHIT! SHITHOOOOLE!!!"

Fatimah's favourite line(s).

After that, it ended at around.. 11+, we were wondering whether to watch Spanglish or Beauty Shop. I dunno why they wanted to watch beauty shop. It looks bloody stupid.

So we watched Spanglish. Fatimah was really reluctant at first cause it wasn't a comedy. It was a really mild comedy though, cause Adam Sandler's in it, so it just HAS to be funny.

The girl playing the spanish part time maid is really GORGEOUS man. Every man in the movie seems to fall in love with her. And her daughter looks.. Indian.

Sad here and there, funny, but it was especially WEIRD. The mom. The cover said the movie's R rated, but there's only ONE sex scene in the entire movie, and that alone was almost fully covered, and the lady was still wearing her bra. Maybe it was the gratification part, but the sex was bloody weird man. She looked like she was throwing a fit and adam sandler was just trying to calm her down. And after the 20 seconds of... "sex", she started crying. Told you the mom was weird.

The movie was of exceptional quality. Much unlike Kung Fu Hustle. Maybe it just needs a test run.

Blah. There's school tomorrow. I don't feel like going man. There's almost no lessons anyway. Only bio, english and malay. The only paper I want back now is Bio, to see how badly I screwed it up. But we won't be getting it back cause we just did the paper yesterday. Unless Mrs Tan pulls a 'bionic woman' on us and returns it tomorrow. I want A math too.

Yay we're gonna watch house of wax on monday! It's a publick holiday no?

Go to lido or something lah. NOT in our school uniforms.

I just realised I only have 1 week's worth of pocket moolah left. Not enough to buy X&Y and Demon Days. Nemind. I will psycho pa into giving me some.

Ash's party plans are still underway. I'm dead broke so I can't buy anything. Maybe a Darth Vader mask from Toys r Us, but that's so uncreative. Aresha already told Aunty Gogi to bring David's spiderman costume!

Ok gonna wrap miss maaaliam's present now! Her birthday's tomorrow wooohoooo!! No party, but what they hey.

Bloop better come home soon. =D

Today was weird.

Today's been full of ups and downs. Feelings of disappointment and happiness taking turns. So weird.

Well A Math yesterday went better than expected. I think Ms Tan purposely made it easy. I dunno.

BIO WAS FUCKING TERRIBLE. Oh god. I almost admitted defeat to Kar Mun in the morning before the paper but Fatimah snapped me out of it. I just wanted to walk up to her, shake her hand and tell her that she's won.

Oh well. Gotta prepare for the disappointment of losing my year long reign of being top in bio. AHHH I CANNOT TAHAN. SURELY LOSE FACE IN CLASS MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK AM I GONNA DO.

Bad enough I don't pay attention during bio. On top of that, Mrs Tan didn't pick me and Jean to go to TP and do that thing. We'd have done a better job FOR SURE. Not blabber on mundanely about stupid baos. At least we'd liven it up a little.

Fucking hell. Must at least get an A1, or in the top 3.

Everything else was a flop. I don't expect to do as well as I did before. I really bombed this one.

Stupid MAID that had to run away one fucking day before my FIRST paper. Oh well.

To make up for it, the 4/2 girls are having a movie marathon at Fi's house tomorrow!!! We're gonna watch Kung Fu Hustle, Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo, maybe Spanglish, and a whole load of other theengs. We're gonna buy a tub of ice cream and stick a bunch of spoons in it and eat it directly. Can't wait!

Fi's got such a bloody HUGE LCD screen tv too. Yay!

Ok back to why today was... weird.

We planned to go to TM to watch House of Wax. 11 of us, Andrew, Luqman, Hidayat, Yiling, Yincheng, Debs, Fi, Su, Nurul, Raudhah and yours truly. 6 out of the 11 of us were above 16, so we thought, hey, maybe they won't really check cause there's 11 of us.

We were so wrong. At TM, they asked for all 11 of our student passes. We decided to try Century Square. Andrew bloody big mouth went to say we had EIGHT people above 16 WITH ez-link cards at the moment. Bloody goon. The 6 16 year olds gave the lady our cards to check, but in the end she said that 6 wasn't enough. Blah. We were so saddened by it we went to drown our sorrows at pastamania. Ok well we weren't really sad lah, the mood really picked up there.

Me andrew and luqman reminisced about our 2/1 days, about ching yu and inflated condoms and bad truth or dare games.

Shared a few laughs, threw a few pastamania serviettes at each other, and called it a day. Well I, luqman, hidayat and debs did.

The rest went to andrew's house to uh.. watch tv. I dunno.

Ahh can't wait for tomorrow. And tonight's CSI! New York and Las Vegas wooo!

I also feel like continuing Kingdom Hearts. I'm really starting to hate the game, but I just gotta finish it.

Things to do after the exams:

1. Go for facial with Primela (appointment all confirmed yay!)
2. Go for stupid 7 hour malay intensive course. If I cannot tahan i'll just walk out lah.
3. Go to Changi with Surin
4. Give Maaliam her present
5. Go to swensens and pizza hut with my sisters of soul
6. Read the 8 books I bought from the Expo
7. Arrange for ash's upcoming superhero themed birthday party
8. Go for tuition
9. Get chrono cross game from Marianne!
10. Finish Kingdom Hearts, play GTA Sans Andreas and Sims Urbz
11. uhh... do laundry.

I love doing laundry. It's kinda relaxing for me. I just love the smell of freshly washed clothes. But when people don't IRON the clothes in time, I get annoyed.

I just brushed dog. I cut out all the matted parts. I haven't brushed her in 2 weeks cause of the exams.

Hmm ok. Time to go start reading!

FUCKING BLOGS AND THEIR FUCKING POPUPS THAT FUCKING MADE MY FUCKING INTERNET EXPLORER FUCKING HANG AND FUCKING ERASE MY FUCKING BLOG ENTRY.

ARGGGH. This is why I love frontpage. It NEVER hangs, unless your comp is really screwed up.

Ok anyway. In the long post that wasn't spared the horror of other irresponsible blog owners, I was in the midst of coming up with a name for my camera. Which I pray to god I won't end up seeing on other people's blogs.

So in my anger I finally decided on a name. Bloop. Bloop the Camera. No relation whatsoever, but I think it has a nice ring to it, no?

I dunno, I like it.

My camera's fat yet compact. Bloop.

But bloop's still at the Nikon place being taken apart by those fucker nikon people who gave those lousy free tripods.

Heheh. Bloop.

Ahh. I also mentioned I was gonna go watch House of Wax with the 4/2 goonz. Most of us are 16, fatimah just turned 16, so we're all going in our school uniforms.

They'd give the rest of us the benefit of the doubt I hope. It's not gonna be a small group of people.

I need to start on my tuition homework now. BAI.

GoF Teaser!!!

It looks promising. Unlike PoA. That was a mess. Worst movie of the lot.

And god I hate Emma Watson and how she's turned Hermione into.. Emmione. Blah.

GoF's my favourite book of the series, so it better be good.

Yay I bought DVDs today!

Kung fu Hustle (yay!), Spanglish (YAY!!!), and... Beauty Shop. The one with Queen Latifah I think. My mom wanted that. I wanted to buy the Incredibles, or Be Cool, but nooo.

Gargh. So many things to do after the MYEs. Read my new books, watch the DVDs, ahhh... life's too short. I wish there were more than 24 hours in a day.

Wish me luck for Malay!

Sunday, May 08, 2005

Feel Good Inc. is a bloody nice song. In the video everyone seems the same, hiding behind their cartoon persona. Except Noodle, she's become one helluva goth chick.

Murdoc's still unsure about his sexuality, Russell is still mindlessly playing the drums and 2-D still sings in monotone.

I still can remember the lyrics of songs from their first album which was about.. 4-5 years ago. And my membership on their website's still active.

I'm a fan. A big one, now that you know. I thought they were dead, but now they've released Demon Days. Definitely buying it, along with Coldplay's upcoming X & Y.

One more week to new sneakers! 2 and a half more weeks to Aunty Gogi's arrival! 1 and a half weeks to the end of the MYEs! 1 and half weeks to GOING OUT.

Bah. I really need to go out more. And not to places like town. Town is irrelevant, unless i'm buying something or watching a movie. Or if it's special occasion.

My dad also made me realise something. We were talking about whether Fengshan GRC was gonna build a shopping centre outside Tanah Merah MRT station. You know, that giant field.

Then I told him that kids from my school would be flocking there. Then I can't remember what he said. Shit. Maaaaliam's uncanny ability to memorise whole conversation would be really useful now.

But I realised that I used to hang around shopping centres a lot myself. To do... NOTHING in particular sometimes. Now I can't see myself going there unless I had something REALLY important to do. Like to buy something I had the unnatural urge to own. Like the dog tags I got.

Next will be the sneakers. After that, I don't think i'll be going to TM much. Not even for movies, cause there's just no time nowadays.

This year's been so busy, we don't even spend that much time together.

I remember one time, can't remember whether it was this year or last year. Miss Khoo suddenly called Brian, Manpreet, Yiling, Rafidah, Fatimah, Nurul, Aaron and me to stand. Suddenly it hit me. And we were all thinking the same thing.

It was our silly group of friends. Don't get me wrong, 4/2 has it's less than the average number of cliques, but this bunch of people just... click more. But we're not anti social and limit the people we hang out with.

Unless you're friends with Kar Mun. Man. She's been a real bitch lately, well, not to me, but to Fatimah, Nurul, Suhailah and Raudhah.

My spidey sense.... senses a tinge of racism. They're not stupider than her, not at all. In fact, smarter from a general point of view. Class positions don't mean shit. I mean, they carry themselves better than her, are more active in class than her, they even have more friends than her.

So lets say she did better than them for the O's, which I highly doubt.

She'd go to a JC of course, and they'd go to poly or something. Their PR skills are way higher, and they speak better english, so they'd get more contacts in their department. She'd do the general subjects and whatnot, befriend her "english as a second language" friends, not keep them for long, and sooner or later she'll be friendless.

Ok i'm getting ahead of myself. I doubt that'll happen but I really hate the way she's been treating the malay girls in our class.

I forgot about the fun fun captain's ball game we had on thursday. Before the rest of my shitty day caved in.

We played against 4/1 as a class cause half of us and them were absent. AND 5/3 played against us. Here's the shitter.

We lost to 4/1. BUT. We won 5/3, and 5/3 won 4/1. Notice the irony?

But we lost to 5/3 later on. Aminnur or Aminur or Amino's the male version of Nurul man. The way he defends, the way he plays as a whole is exactly like nurul. Not to mention the skin colour too.

And his butt's real huge. Me and yiling were laughing about it then I suddenly yelled (lets just call him amino for convenience sake), "AMINO YOUR BUTT VERY SEXY!"

Haha it was damn funny lah. Everyone laughed about it cause his butt was sticking out really... prominently.

I sucked as the goalie that day. I just couldn't manage, dunno why. HOW AM I GONNA SURVIVE THE JUNE MATCH?

Did I mention that one? Miss Heng sent a bunch of peer leaders to go for this captain's ball match thingy that's gonna be at the Youth Park. If I screw up, it's gonna be real embarassing man.

Shaun was playing. In the match against 4/1, there was this one part where Apisit was blocking him really well, and he got so fed up he just rammed his head into Apisit's chest.

Man it's late. Got tuition tomorrow. Bla.

Saturday, May 07, 2005

Blah.

I told ma I won't be doing so well for MYEs. She said ok.

Doesn't mean I won't try lah.

Had tuition yesterday. After that I met Surin for dinner and we went to Delifrance at Paya Lebar. We were on the mrt back when we saw Darryl and Victor at Bedok. Darryl's kinda cocky, as Surin put it.

Blah what a mundane entry. My mom told me i'm stronger mentally than I think I am. Hrm.

Speaking of ma, tomorrow's mother's day. Oh joy.

I can't wait for the MYEs to be over. I'll just slack after that and not give a fuck about everything. But there'll be housework to do cause the new maid's only coming at the end of the month. Aunty Gogi is coming on the 28th. Ash's superhero themed birthday party is on the 3rd. Aresha's coming back on the 3rd indefinitely.

I can't wait to see Aniek and David! Hopefully by then my camera will be fixed. Then I can take shitlaods of pictures like I used to and put them up here for your viewing pleasure.

I think i'm gonna go take a nap now.

Crying and crying and crying, waking up with puffy eyes the next morning and taking exams with a fever.

Knowing your friends, dipshit, bigger dipshit and biggest dipshit (in no order of merit) enjoy using your secrets as their latest gossip. Go fuck yourselves kay? And take your secret blogs and shove it up your asses cause I don't give a flying fuck anymore.

Prata night? Go to fucking hell. At least when I go out for prata with real FRIENDS they make it count and don't fucking keep to themselves and make you feel like maybe you shouldn't have come down to simpang in the first place.

And you wonder why I stopped hanging around with you guys last year. Even before the whole love triangle bullshit came about.

Whoever the fuck decided to open their mouth, I don't really care, I just fucking hate you guys now.

Sigh.

On to more fucked up things, before I heard what kinda shitty friends I had, the maid ran away. She just sneaked out of the fucking house right before I was gonna study.

Stupid idiot. Then ash came home and I had to prepare lunch and everything basically, and finally at about 4pm, I settled down to study. Then ash came knocking on the door so I let him in, and he slept on aresha's bed. I don't know why, but he likes to work himself up. And so he did.

He ran out and lay in the middle of the road. I was really restraining myself from kicking him and getting a knife from the kitchen to stab myself.

Alvin, his dad and his mom had stopped nearby cause they were going into their house. His mom stares (bah), his dad stands by his car and stares (double bah), and what does Alvin do?

Smile. Mockingly. You'd expect a neighbour of almost 10 years to come and help. But no, he smiles, then points to the other side of the road. A car was coming, shit shit. Maybe it'll squash ash and teach him a fucking lesson. But even better, it was uncle dennis! He pulled over, and got off just to talk to ash and try to get him to get off his ass and go back into the house.

Now that's a good neighbour. Man I hate Alvin.

Then ash went it and riled himself up again. But this time I locked EVERYTHING, put the phone off the hook and locked myself inside my room. So all he could do was vent his anger out on the door.

The OC was pretty cheesy yesterday. The whole sisters-being-reunited thing.

AND I screwed up SS pretty damn badly. The chapters are so confusing man. I mean, you don't know exactly what to study cause the points are jumbled up everywhere. So I screwed up a 12m question writing absolute RUBBISH.

Then I left school. Took a 38 from the bus stop nearby cause I really didn't feel like walking the distance. I changed at tanah merah, and I could've SWORN I got on the number 2, but in the end it was actually a 12. Then I had to go all the way to Melville park to change buses. I took the 9 home with all the kids from Metta. They're almost normal man. Listening to music, using handphones, taking the bus.

You know what? There is no god.

I bought a shitload of books today from the book fair at the expo. The fifth harry potter book was going for 7 bucks, and it's the hard cover copies, the ones I don't think you can get anymore from bookshops. I bought mine for what... $35 when it just came out. And now it's $7.

I bought:

1. Bollox Detox
I finished it already. It's a super tiny book full of cynicism and sarcasm. And exaggeration. But really funny. It makes fun of all those soul-purifying "detox-your-body" nonsense. I lent it to Surin so wait if you wanna borrow k.

2. Instructions for Lovers
Also finished. Also a little book full of sarcastic phrases and sentences. You can borrow it if you want, only if you can see the funny side of physical intimacy.

3. 1001 Dreams
Small but fucking fat. Tells you all about dreams and their meanings. But somehow this book relates majority of dreams to sex. Come on, bodily orifices? How stupidly discreet can they get. But for 4 bucks, who's complaining?

4. Daughter of Shame
The mother forced me to buy this. I don't wanna talk about it. It looks boring, but i'll read it anyway.

5. Divided Labours: An Evolutionary View of Women at Work
I'm a mild feminist, need I say more? The cover's pretty too.

6. SASSO
I thought the title was pretty darn hilarious. In relation to the story? About a couple at the age of 19 died... while making the LURVE. And it seems everyone's more interested in their sex than their deaths itself. Sad huh. I'm not sex-obsessed. Besides, 3/4 of the books there were sex-related alright.

7. Things Your Mother Never Told You
I read the shoulder and it sounded real cute. The back too. So what the hey.

8. Lullaby
About mothers killing their infants by singing some cursed lullaby. Is this a joke? I have no bloody idea.

9. The Well of Lost Plots
The summary is irritatingly confusing. But it looks like a fun book nonetheless.

Borrow if you want, if i'm not reading them at the time. They had loads of Stephen King, boring biographies, sex books, and chinese book.. things. Surprisingly, there weren't many teeny bopper novels. I got up at 9 am for this, and i'm still regretting it a little. I'm tired, the MYEs are in 4 days, I haven't started studying, let alone finished my homework, am clueless about chemistry and well.. everything else.

I can't slack for my MYEs, I already did enough of that in sec 1 & 2. I promised myself not to goof off. I still have 4 days. We'll see how it goes.

I'll also resist the temptation to read the books I bought. It'll be a distraction.

My mother's annoying. She chucked her old study table in my room for me to study. It's too fucking dim to study, unless I get a table lamp. The sooner the better.

So much for wanting to clear out the junk from our room, she just contributed to it.

I just can't wait for the exams to be over. It'll be a weight off my shoulders, more than the exams being over as a whole. Then i'll have to face the fucking results. GArrgh.

Haha I met surin after tuition just now, at around 3pm. When I called him, just as I was about to put down, I heard his mom say "Hello!" in a really jolly way but I couldn't reply cause we already hung up. His dad also asked me to come over and help them paint. I don't mind but fucking hell I can't.

Oh well. After the exams it is. Marianne has my Chrono Cross! She found it! THERE IS A GOD!

I'm getting it back from her after the MYEs. Then i'll play to my heart's content, and study to the fullest.

Not to mention i'll be reading all the books I bought, AS WELL AS prepping for the MT O's (ugh), AND simultaneously taking care of my english import cousins. I'm not obliged to, but I love babysitting them.

ON TOP OF ALL THAT, there's also ash's birthday party (it's themed!), AND the 2 weeks of revision taken away from our june holidays. Man. So hectic. And if we're lucky, 4/2 will get to go to Malaysia for the bio trip! And we're not staying in dorms! It's gonna be a resort woohoo!

How am I gonna start revising for MYEs? Ok well, for starters, I could stop thinking about what i'll be doing AFTER it and just mug away mindlessly.

Oh oh oh Murdoch University replied to my email!!! AHH!!
They didn't mention anything about diplomas, but they DID say A'Level certs are automatically a yes. BUT there's still the enrolling process which only accepts 32 students a year (they confirmed that too). So exciting. And i'm rethinking Victoria. A little too high a standard to set for myself don't you think.

It makes you think that i'm self-delusional. I'm not ok. I just love that schooooool.
What about Anderson? Oh wait, it's in Ang Mo Kio. ACJC? Maybe lah. SAJC? Too close to Potong Pasir for comfort.

Ah well. I've got months to think about it after the o's, so I should just shut up for now.

And go to sleep.

Ice Age is such a funny movie. That new movie Madagascar looks like it's about the same. SO I MUST VATCH IT.

Am having a headache. Must've been cause I've been running up and down transferring files from the old com into this one. I've got the old DNB songs and some other old long forgotten mp3s, and a LOT of pictures. Like stuff from 2003, like the graduation concert and random parties.

Today's been such a boring day. Seriously. I wake up at 10, eat breakfast, use the com, go for tuition, come home, watch tv, do work, watch more tv, and now i'm here. Is that boring or WHAT.

Anyway, ma bought me a new pair of spongebob boxers today. I gave my old blue ones to Aresha cause she wanted them. Ma got this nice orange one with spongebob making faces all over it. I actually was looking at it that day at century square and wanted to buy it, but had no moolah.

Yay. Coldplay's new CD is coming out in JUNE!!!! I CAN'T WAIT arggh. I also pre-ordered Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. And i'm saving up for a pair of shoes. AND I wanna buy a geeky looking off-shoulder top. I dunno why, I just feel like it. But all the off shoulder tops you see nowadays are all fancy and tight fitting. I want one thats loose and has extra long sleeves, just after my wrists. I'd love that.

I also feel like getting a pair of knee high socks. With pretty stripes on them.

Man i'm weird today. Must be the headache talking.

Today's a weird day.

I'm bored.

I wish I had something really productive to do. No it's not studying. Something else is missing. I think it's my camera. The poor thing, alone at the Nikon Center probably waiting for it's lens to be fixed. Morons. Faster fix my camera please, it's been one fucking week.

You know, as I was going through the old old old pictures of Shauna (our previous golden retriever), I realised we don't have any pictures of Shakti (our previous german shepard). I think we were quite mean, neglecting him for Shauna cause she's smarter. We didn't neglect him as in, not feed him or what. Just the lack of attention. But I always took both for walks at one go and it's the both of them, not just one. Even though the strength of 2 dogs is overwhelming, I didn't mind getting dragged around a little. As long as we never ran into any cats..

Then shakti's intestines got all faulty, ok let's not go down that road again.

I feel bad. I wish I could turn back time and give shakti the biggest hug I could ever manage. Shauna too. She just left like that, too peacefully.

Then I was looking at pics of dog when she first came, just before xmas. Pa's first and last xmas present to the family. She looked like a real monkey when she first came, and now she's so pretty. And with a hyperactive yet lovable personality to boot.

Hmm. Ah well.

Surin surin where are you. Please come here and take me to east coast. I feel like going there. Suuuuuuuriiiiiiiin. Ladeedaa.
