the good and the badminton

You know something. I really love my dad. As much as i'm the invisible child despite everything i've achieved and us constantly snapping at each other, there's love i'm sure of it. I asked him if he wanted to go to Foo House with me, just the two of us prolly drinking alcohol. He's all busy, so never mind.

But deep down i'm sure he appreciates it.

Aresha's landing in about 3 hours. Yay. I hope she had a good time. First thing she'll do is probably show me all the photos she took while she was there on the D80 she borrowed. That's the only thing i'm jealous about, I suppose. But one thing I can do better than her for sure is take photos :)

I have started on revision. Yay me. Slow and steady though. A bit too slow, but it'll pick up for sure.

Although... I will be taking a nice break in between for a bit of night-time drinking. Alcohol makes for good escapism. Lovely.

I put gel insoles into my Mankillers. Yes, I finally own a pair, from GoJane! I could kill someone just by stabbing them. I wore them for TPJC Runway, felt like a million bucks. Only downside was that my feet would go numb after awhile of walking. It got so bad that I just pulled them off on the way to Tampines Mart MacD's with Hafidz. It's becoming a habit... I HAVE to stop taking my shoes off and walking around barefoot in public.

So yes, I hope the gel insoles work their magic. Cause I finally found the solution to not looking like a minah/topshop-whore in skinnies. Wear my lovely Mankillers!

I bought a lovely green dress from GoJane too. It's a bit on the revealing side, and coming from me that means it's pretty *ahem*. Apart from that it's quite a shapless dress, sadly. Something I could wear for drinks at night I guess.

Badminton today! It was productive actually. We played properly for a good 2 hours, fooled around for one. I missed the Heroes rerun at 12pm so i'll be lost watching Heroes tomorrow.

Now my thigh muscles are all wobbly and I can't hold my 1 litre bottle of water properly. I'm also starting to think it's a bad thing that I drink water a litre at a time.

this doesn't change things

It won't, okay.

Anyway, I watched PoTC 3 already! Haha yeah i'm finally up-to-date with movies! Thanks to Mon! Cause he is awesome and if he weren't I'd still be emo going on my 'i-have-no-friends' rant.
Hehe. And I actually sat down to watch a Formula One race. Cool stuff, I think the Singapore one will definitely be worth going for.

Gonna play badminton with the classmates tomorrow! I'm anticipating quite a bit of madness. But my mom took both MY digicam and the videocam so... I'll just have to rely on my stupid phone.

Haha. Also. Who would've thought I'd finally realise the person I kept going weak in the knees for isn't worth half my time? Sheesh. Thanks for wasting an integral part of my year.

Aresha's coming back from Japan Wednesday morning, 1am. Then Ma on Thursday. Sigh. The house will be in madness again. I'm really appreciating the peace and quiet, although too much means my mind will wander too easily and I won't be able to study.

My last month of holidays before the final stretch of rote-based education. Thanks for wasting 18 years of my life. This feels like a speech of false gratitude rather than a blog entry.

I'm having the worst headache now. Like my right eyeball has a shard stuck in it and its projecting inwards into my brain. Yeah, ouch. It's not really an ache anymore, its like a jarring sharp pain. Then again, it's been bugging me perpetually throughout the day so it COULD be an ache.

Aruna, just shut up and sleep.

bloodshot eyes

Yes Aruna is still alive.

I'm going through a really emo phase right now. No I don't mean black nail polish and wearing cardigans. I'm feeling emo about everything, and making things a bigger deal than it actually. Except today during TPJC Runway, but that's over la.

TPJC Runway 2007 was pretty good. They had external designers from La Salle and other JCs to show their stuff and it was pretty interesting. It was a great way to kick off the June holidays, despite how fucked up I was feeling. Had a very interesting, laugh-at-stupid-things dinner with Hafidz, and also learning the shocking truth about quite a number of people.

Oh yes, HOLIDAYS! Finally right! Whoever wants to go out, CALL ME. I WANT TO BE CALLED. But please please please refrain from late nights. And it's on a how-much-Aruna-studies-before-that basis. So cross your fingers and hope you have good timing.

Aresha's in Tokyo, and you'd think i'd be mad jealous but surprisingly i'm not. Aruna, not jealous about not going to Japan? HOMAIGORD! But no. Really.

I suppose for me to be truly jealous, she'd have to do all the things i've seen in Japan hour. Oh, and travel to remote mountains. Kyoto, Nara, Hokkaido, Okinawa, ESPECIALLY Okinawa by bullet train and enjoy hot springs and eat raw seafood. I've been reading too many comic books.

It all depends on where the DNB promoter brings her and OtherDude. I suppose it's not big deal for me to reveal his name, but just in case la. She's been talking to OtherDude quite a bit and I guess things may or may not get serious when she's there.

Ma's off to Hong Kong this Sunday and I will be spending my 5 days of freedom blissfully.... studying. Yes you read that right. The mugging has begun.

Oh, and I am BROKE. As in seriously. Strictly Simpang dinners please. Just for this month. I need to pay off a $150 debt. HAHA.

And. Possibly another $89 for those retro Panasonic headphones. Because I am sick and tired of scratchy bass during all the good parts in my Drum n Bass mixes on the iPod. And it doesn't bug fellow commuters. Which is good, cause I HATE to get irritated stares from people on buses and trains.

Ahh, ok. Feeling much less emo now. Who knows what'll happen tomorrow? Oh, it's one more day to the momster's departure! Yeay!

TPJC... has a corporate video!

Haha. Yes. I don't know if I love it or hate it. The interview parts look overly-rehearsed.

'nuff said. See it for yourself.

Oh, and have a good laugh. There's like a split second snippet of me! During the council part. Haha. But if you can't find it then too bad. Zahra looks awesome in the Indian Dance part though.

:)

an obvious, obvious attraction.

I typed in www.blogger.com mindlessly, with absolutely no idea what I was gonna blog about.

I watched BLAAAADES OF GLORY YESTERDAY! Yay! I don't give two shits about Spiderman 3. I'd take a Will Ferrell and Napoleon Dynamite dude over stupid emo spiderman any day. Damn funny lah. It's the same kinda nonsensical humour I enjoyed from Derek Zoolander and Anchorman. Will Ferrell movies are the best I swear. I have the Talladega Nights DVD but I have yet to watch it. I will... Soon.

Strange though... Mon and I were laughing our asses off but the rest of the audience was quite.... passive. Except for the obviously HA HA funny parts. Singaporeans have a lousy sense of humour.

Yay blogger has an autosave function! Fina-fucking-lly. No more randomly lost entries.

So, yesterday, it was great. It's been damn bledy long since I went out to town to catch a movie. Or simply go to town. I don't like town la. Everything about that place is mad annoying.

After the movie we walked from The Cathay to PS to Far East. When you're walking with good company the distance passes so fast you don't realise it. I had 3 things to buy - iPod wall charger, a belated mother's day present, and Raushan's long overdue boxers HAHA. The Far East shopkeepers seem quite bent on ripping people off. $35 for a fucking charger! Eat shit la.

And the boxers nowadays are SO UGLY. Like.... disgusting. I only saw one which was remotely nice, the rest were just... eeeugggh. I bought myself a Little Miss Trouble t-shirt. Quite apt in certain situations i've been in this year ;)

But anyway. I saw about 5-10 girls wearing the same Little Miss Sunshine tee. I almost bought it but... no. Haha. I got mine for $15! After seeing them online for $25. Walked around wondering where we were gonna eat dinner, and decided on The Balcony cause I love the music they play there. And it looks so classy.

We had dinner and wine, it was oh-so-nice. Talked a lot of cock and made our way back.

And now it's the start of a shitty Sunday. Sometimes I wonder where my dad gets energy from to get angry with me. Its quite selective. If i'm invisible to him for quite a big part of the week, leave me alone for the rest.

I think I need to start talking like a meek, demure, frail little girl. Cause if I don't, everything I say gets twisted and people think i'm trying to pick a fight with them. No ok. No. You'd think my family after so long would realise it by now. And it's not what I say. It's my tone of voice. I hate it.

Sigh. The problems you have to go through cause you need an allowance and can't work.

of tears, fevers, and ipod videos

I'll do this a la Zahra, quicknotes!

• stepped down from the 21st council on tuesday, handed it over to the 22nd. they're alright, but i'm doubtful about our Prom Night '07. GG.
• I didn't cry. I really wanted to though, I was practically distraught and all, but I just couldn't cry.
  
• bought an iPod video 2 weeks ago. I was gonna pay my mom back for it in $50 instalments over 7 months, but she sent me an sms, saying that for every A I get, it's worth $50. "Deal or No Deal?" She smsed exactly that. So.... haha.
  
• Next Wednesday i'm going to RJC for their Investiture with Zahra and Asri. I'm prepared for a bit of travelling, an excuse to leave school early, and whole lot of madass fun.
• The JC1 mats in TPJC are MAD FUNNY. You probably dunno what's going on in this video, but its self-explanatory really. TPJC's soccer team can make it, it's just sad they have a coach like Mr Nordin.
• My inner minah has been showing during TPJC soccer matches. It just isn't half as fun if there weren't any malay vulgarities to shout out loud.
  

So that's about it. I'm also now a fan of Heroes. I'll blog proper soon. PROMISE!
