I know, I know, I could give you 5 names in 2 seconds of people who'd slap me for saying that.
Don't know why la.
It's not anyone in particular.
Maybe it's just the fact that I could possibly be using up all my savings just for this trip. It's not much but here it could go a reasonably long way.
No money, no suitcase, ugh this sucks.
I just like.... want one more night of happy fun, with close friends, booze, the sea breeze.
Maybe it's not so much me leaving now... But just a preview of how it could feel like next year.
This is a preview of me, leaving, coz the next time around it'll be for 5 years.
Will I come back?
I hate this godforsaken country, but my friends - the people that have stuck around through the deepest shit - I love them like family. I always believed in having friends till you're grey-haired and wrinkly.
Well at least Yigang said he'll come live with me should I ever move to the UK. That's a start. :D

2 more days!
Yay
Signed up for BTT also, I can't believe I waited this long. It takes hella long to get your license. I'm in no rush, but it would be quite handy.
Am gonna take a nap now. I feel like someone dropped a rock on my head in my sleep.
Just to take note : Coldplay's fourth album will be out June 16th! VIVA LA VIDA! Apparently it was produced by Dr Dre - don't know if its true or not, but even the album artwork doesn't look very Coldplay.
Still.... 16th June! Just thinking about it gives me the jitters.

KUTUHEADZ
Question: Is the presence of lice a sign of poor personal hygiene?
Answer: No, head lice seem to prefer a clean scalp; and otherwise show no particular preference for a human host's sex, race, age or socio-economic status.
..........
What if they did have a preference?
"Sorry, I don't DO homeless people." *waves a lousey claw*
No I don't have kutus.... but... SOMEONE DOES.....

please buy microphones
Damn it, rapidshare. Damn you, runny nose.
I have a thing for cleaning my ratty's cages in the middle of the night. Strange kicks I get.
So, preps for the trip are underway. Am currently short on the moolah so I need to spend much, much less. Maybe just a regular manicure instead of the french one. Bought my bag and skirt yesterday with Yigang and Aresha. When The Lawn first opened, Yigang asked me to go with him and check it out. It was a good year ago I think. Actually more.
Everything was holy expensive. I mean, I do occasionally make that backside-tearing splurge but I didn't really see anything I liked, until I saw a bag. A striped green yellow maroon sling bag with DA embroidered on the flap. It was the only thing I wanted to buy, and it was only $70 at the time which probably was a steal. Since it was green, I thought hey wow a bag that I could use for school (coz TPJC's colour is green hurrr) but chose not to buy it later.
I thought buying stuff JUST for two years of school was a bit redundant. Stuff meaning bags, shoes etc apart from the compulsory school shoes but everything I bought wasn't specially for school. I could use them anywhere anytime and I thought this particular bag might not fit that bill.
Kinda shot myself in the foot by buying that bag yesterday :D
Yesterday, I saw it chucked in a plastic box in a room away from the female section upstairs, with all the other sales items in a room with all the lights shut off. Only found it after much digging around. They had jacked the price up to $100, and it was half off, so I bought it for the UK trip. Well not JUST for the trip but for everything else as well.
But I don't think i'll be handcarrying it on the plane. I might just grab one of the old Tatanka haversacks in the cupboard. As unglamorous as it looks, a sling bag is heavy as fucking hell with a 2.2kg lappie + DSLR, what more all my other bits and bobs I need to bring along.
I want to make sure my trip is as satisfying as possible. The previous one was alright, could definitely have been better if I had more time. Now I do, so.... I just hope the weather is on my side. I'll have to make a list of places I want to go.
I think Stonehenge is quite mystifying. I'd really like to go, but I have a feeling i'll be disappointed and might've wasted a fair amount of pounds x3 into SGD. Can't wait to hit the flea markets! You can actually find QUALITY shite there, unlike the flea markets here. That is if I find them. Damn you, London and your strong currency.
Some quality alone time will do me some good too. Need the time to think, reflect on things that have happened over the past couple of months.
There's no reason for me to be afraid of being in a relationship, yet... I just can't bring myself to be in one. To be able to just do whatever with whoever, without worrying about hurting anyone's feelings (ok this sentence sounds kinda wrong) is something i've grown used to for the last 2 years. But you get what I mean right.
So now, have I not had enough? Technically, I should be ready to just go with it right. But something just doesn't feel right. I've dated around, tested the water if you'd like to put it, and I feel like this one could just be another.... Its harsh but he has yet to really come across as that one i'd like to put effort into.
Bleh I want to just fuck off on a plane now. Too bad it's another WEEK. I've only ever been on a plane alone once. The trip home from the UK, the flight that I missed initially due to a power failure on the train tracks, the one I sprained my neck on. Gah.
I'll blog during the Dubai stopover. I have three hours to do absolutely fuckall. Maybe buy some cookies with the 10 dirhams that have been rotting in my wallet since 2006. Hrm.
Tomorrow's a full day. Need to do some shite at the bank, cut my hair, check up on my tuition kid's cat + give tuition, so at least that'd spell the end of rotting at home, sick.

fuck the flu
Been down with the sickness since Saturday night. Also, I have a newfound hatred for pink polo tees.
I just don't like themmmm.
Also, when I go to the UK for 3 weeks I will be missing my ratties like crazy. Rasputin has been adorable the past couple of days. Stalin's still quite anti-social although he seems to want to follow Rasputin everywhere he goes. Monkey see monkey do. Rasputin also has a penchant to explore every single corner of the room, including the cupboards and window sills.
He now knows how to access any part of the room if - the cupboards aren't closed properly and when I leave things on the shelves for him to climb. My room's not exactly rat-proof so it does get a bit frustrating, but all it takes to get him out of his little hiding places is just the crackle of the plastic package that the little kitten health pellets come in.
He goes absolutely WHACKO for those little pellets, like a ratty on crack.
So this flu right, has me waking up in the middle of the night hacking phlegm and massasging my head from a splitting headache. I woke up at about 6am this morning simply from discomfort.
Tomorrow the WO girlies have plans to hit the beach. If I haven't at least 80% recovered i'll have to give it a miss, and continue having the disgusting tan lines from the air show in FEBRUARY. No joke. 2 hours of sitting in the sun really burned into my skin, you can still see the shape of my tank top up till now. It's horrible.
Have been downloading close to 30 episodes of Samurai X since 2 days ago. The secret is... Rapidshare! And a paid account is absolutely necessary. Movies take less than half a day to download, it's amazing.
Okay my eyes are starting to ache. God damn this flu.

hello world, this is stalin
Depending on your computer, this pic may be too dark. So too bad then.
Crappy photos coz I was just plain tired. Will take better ones soon.
Apparently he's 4 weeks old, but I think he's younger. Rasputin hasn't shown any signs of aggression, which is great, but he isn't showing much signs of interest either.
Stalin on the other hand, keeps trying to crawl under Rasputin's belly. Really makes me think he's not 4 weeks old :/
Rasputin's a platinum/grey hooded rat, and Stalin is a beige hooded rat, but he looks a bit more Dumbo.
Dumbo meaning a rat breed, not the derogatory term. Dumbo rats tend to have a rounder dolphin-like forehead, unlike regular hooded rats that just have a slant, straight forehead. But we won't be able to really tell until he grows a little. He's terrified of people, tho I just got him yesterday night. He'll take awhile and in the meantime i'll get him adjusted to Rasputin.
I need to start sourcing for a big-ass cage to house both rattys, wahhh backside tear :(
On to other things.
I don't think I blogged about last last week's BBQ for my birthday! It was great la, in every way possible. Just my closest friends laughing and talking cock, eating and playing the Wii.
Initially I was nay close to just cancelling it because sometimes my family can really test my patience. I was so lost as to how to prepare all the food that I called Maya bawling like a retard. The woman is my saviour I swear, without her I think I really would've just cancelled.
Was simple, playing like 1 game of twister before we got distracted by Wario on the Wii haha. That game is pure hilarity, and probably the one reason why anyone should buy a Wii.
Maya's chocolate cheesecake was beyond amazing, and it was finished by the end of the night. The last few slices were pounced on by my cousins and Aunty Gogi when they came back from a party. Ernie came later with even more cake from Secret Recipe, which my family happily devoured over the course of the following 3 days, save for 1 which I stuck two unlit candles on and served to Yigang the following Monday morning cause it was his 20th!
Iggy! No longer a teenager. You have no more excuses! Haha!
Yigang has been coming over almost everyday the past few weeks for work. But I swear, the home environment is totally inconducive for this kinda work. The lethargy that comes with the weather, after lunch, then lounging on the sofa with the TV on till we almost drift into a full-blown nap has occured one too many times.
I haven't visited the vet since weeeeks ago. I feel bad about it, but I will go back next week. This week the boy is booking out early, and also I want to buy some things for the trip.
For the last 2 weeks Aunty Gogi, David and Aniek have desecrated my room. Okay la that's a bit extreme but stomping on my stuffed toys? Leaving bits of food in weird places? I can't even find some of my stuff. But that aside, having them around was, although a headache and a half, enjoyable because they were not as bratty as before.
Still pretty bratty but it wasn't hard to sort them out. Sometimes they'll put on their atas English ang moh airs but we tried to open their eyes as much as possible while they were here.
They left just a few hours ago, and should be somewhere between India and here by now, i'm not entirely sure how far the last 3 hours would've taken them.
Am now back in my own room, in my own space doing my own thing. I think this is best for a healthy sister-sister relationship. Hmm.
1 day less than 2 weeks till me in the UK. Kinda surreal, going there alone. But I think i'll be okay, maybe befriend a random in the plane/train/bus. Aresha was shocked when I told her I don't have friends in the UK.
Is it really shocking? I mean... no one I know has yet to go there to study, even then they'll only be there September. And apart from Amit and Jason (A Sides), there aren't any other DNB artistes that I got to know well enough to really meet up with them while i'm there.
In this gap year I need to travel. A lot. Should make a list. Now.
Cambodia again, of course
Thailand, one of those cool islands Aresha's been to like Koh Samui or Koh Phangan
Batam, with the girlies
Bali, because it's just so beautiful but I heard since I was last there it's been overrun with chao ang mohs urgh
Japan, whoa dream big
KL, because the boy wants to
It's strange, apart from Japan I wouldn't really think of going anywhere new. I need a decent paying job when I get back from the UK. It'll be like 'okay reality check girly, you need a JOB job.'
No more brainless waitressing and misc jobs. Its the real deal, well at least for a good 8 months. The prospects of full-time tuition look very naisee...
I should consider an ad in the Classifieds with some decepticon of a description like.... straight 'A' Level Distinctions Student (with bad grammar, but it's Singapore where 'native English speakers' come from the USA or the UK where people can't even fucking spell for fuck's sake okstop), reasonable rates offering 'O' Level Biology, Chemistry, E Math, English blah dee dah.. Reasonably attractive.. Ok wait it's tuition i'm offering.
Now i'm reminded of that Sufiah Yusof woman (this isn't to say i'm likening myself to a genius, or a hot hooker). The sad case of a child genius turned prostitute. Then again, people will argue as to who am I to judge her choices in life, as long as she's happy? Tho this is true, Sufiah is really putting it out there and glossing over the ugly details, who's to determine the effect of this on impressionable young girls? At 14 when I was a wayward monkey, if I read something like that I would be wondering eh eh.... If life's so easy for her then.... etc.
Branding prostitution to be something so lucrative, it could be, but not for everyone.
Most of my sentence structures are directly out of my head. So in a nutshell, i'm having a discussion with myself.
But hey, this totally proves my point from before that geniuses confirm got a screw loose somewhere, some wiring in the brain gone wrong. Haha! Totally subjective, but it's an extremely amusing observation.
I need to pee now, so I might as well wrap this up. There's a mighty crack in the toilet seat in the bathroom, and I need to take extra care when sitting my ass down on it, should the crack (pun hurr) open and kiap my bum.
Yes, ouch.

No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
So, everyone.
I have finally made the decision to buy a new ratty. Male, coz I don't want to castrate Rasputin, I don't want to take the risk. If they don't get along then no choice, i'll have to perpetually separate the two. Still at least Rasputin will have a friend.
At least a smaller friend than Dog. Dog scares the living daylights out of Rasputin.
But Dog'll never bite or try to eat Rasputin, she acknowledges another living thing. Just like Rasputin will never bite fingers because he knows its skin.
I need to buy more ratty toys..
The new rat has been christened the name Stalin, by Yigang. Haha but we must see if the name suits him or not.
Gah. Money supply's depleting. I have no idea how i'm gonna save up at least 300pounds for the UK trip. But the new ratty's worth it at least.

on a brighter note
I got into vet school.
University of Melbourne. It's all yay yippee hooray but now the real problem is the moolah.
We have no moolah.
So how?
Die lah. :)

I am sick and tired.
Of you, criticizing almost every single choice in my life. Criticizing the way I choose to do things, the way I've tried to plan my life for myself.
Of all the things i've achieved for myself in my own ways, in my own right, they might not be significant in YOUR eyes, because clearly nothing is good enough for you;
I have absolutely no problem in articulating myself.
I do have more than one brain cell, thank you very much.
I am the exact opposite of you. I am the anti-you. I couldn't be you if I tried, not that i'm trying. And neither can you, me. Don't even say that if you did what I did you would've done so much better, because that's probably what you're telling yourself.
In your head, I know you think you are better than me in almost every aspect possible. You can jump to your own conclusions, build up your giant wall of defence and tear me down to as small as you can make me, cause you seem pretty good at it. And proud of that fact too. Like you said, you can be cutting.
I have my own merits, as well as my own faults. Just because they don't share common ground with yours, doesn't give you the right to criticize.
If you read this, I don't even want to hear you justify everything you've said. Just... digest this, and think, maybe Aruna really does have her own take on her life, maybe, just maybe, instead of shooting her down all the time, maybe I could give her constructive advice.
Otherwise I really just.. don't want to hear it.
Ok i'm done.

nineteen and a day old
Yes, happy Aruna new year everyone.
This means the above age is wrong. And i'm no longer a struggling JC student with no life. I am now struggling on the road to vet school. *crosses fingers*
Aresha has been in HK for the past 3 days for a gig, leaving a brain-exhausting amount of work for Yigang and I to figure out. Oh, Yigang has just started working for Aresha's new company, Eight Communications. So that means I get to see my best friend everyday. Which is great really, it's been stupid fun, mostly work, but still fun.
And for those who don't know, i'll be having a mini BBQ this coming Saturday to celebrate my year closer to death. Those who are invited already know, and if i've missed you out drop me a msg k? It'll be a night of BBQed food on our not-so-new grill, Nintendo Wii, Taboo, maybe Twister and maybe a decent amount of booze.
And I know everyone wants to see Rasputin! Don't deny it, you definitely want to. My little cuzzins from the UK will also be running around.
So coming at about 7-8pm would be good. If you wanna come early, you can but you must help me set up. Pa left for Bangkok at 5.45am this morning, so that means a lot of heavy lifting. I hope it doesn't rain. Eep.
The birthday was aaaallllright la. Had lunch out, came back and continued working till 6, left to give tuition, rushed back, did a bit of laundry and fed Dog, then rushed to get ready and left to meet Yiling and Yincheng. Since all the girlies had stuff on tomorrow, it was just us 3 last night. Left our bags and got our entry chop at Phuture, then took a cab to Arena.
After clarifying that it was really free entry and free drinks, I confidently walked right up to the bouncer to get in. Then he said two words, "ID please."
"OHHH SHI- Yiling did you bring your IC??"
"Oh my god! I left it in my bag at Phuture!"
"OH MY GOD YOU TWO AH" - yincheng
It was a classic moment I swear. We couldn't stop laughing about it. Yincheng was extremely patient with us the entire time, during which we took a cab all the way back to Phuture to get our ICs. Bumped into idiot Ernie haha, she pinched me so hard I smacked her in the chest. HAHA. Can't wait to see her this Saturday!
After about 5 lychee martinis we were starting to feel the buzz, and were sick of the martinis. So we switched to vodka sprites, of which I downed about three. And that was it.
Phuture was full of ugly guys, it was horrible. I did bump into Jocelyn, Samantha and Regina tho, so it wasn't so bad. I was taken aback when Samantha told me she had the dress I was wearing. She's also got a bob for a haircut and was wearing a classy poncho-looking dress. Definitely not the Samantha I remember from TPJC.
Overall it was a pretty okay night, finally did the partying I've been meaning to do for the past 3 weeks and spent my birthday with good friends.
Hopefully my mom will be in a good mood while Aunty Gogi is here, she lands tomorrow. Then she won't feel the need to cancel the BBQ coz Pa isn't here.
As for work, i'm going to be doing some major bumming the week onwards till I leave for the UK - aka FINISH MY DAMN SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS. I also need to work on my Murdoch essay and send it out.
I'll be working only Fridays at Wild Oats, so my pay will be more pathetic than usual this month. I guess it's good timing, coz I might just be stopping. But when I come back from the UK i'll need time to get a proper job so working there could buy me some time.
But yay! I got my weekend back! I've been working every single damn Saturday night for the past 4 months and it's quite sad to see all the happy people coming to Wild Oats for drinks after a movie, or before a night out.
Just got a call from Asri from camp, he misses me! So sweet la! I haven't seen him since results day, and even then I couldn't give him a hug because his mom was behind him. I asked him to come for the BBQ, hopefully he can make it.
One last thing - I've finally booked my ticket to the UK, for three weeks. It took be HOURS to get the booking done because I was using Aresha's Skywards miles for Emirates, and after so much hassle, and a real GEM of a woman from the Singapore Emirates office who helped me out for an hour over the phone, I finally got it booked for the 30th of April, at a grand total of SGD$500. :)
Can't wait to leave. Really need the break. I'll be sitting in fields writing poetry. Hopefully the weather would've warmed up. But I bought a pair of adorable knitted boots from the US, so I should be prettay comfy.
Oh man, for the next 2 weeks that my Aunty and cousins are here i'll have to bunk in with Aresha. I foresee many stupid arguments.

So coming at about 7-8pm would be good. If you wanna come early, you can but you must help me set up. Pa left for Bangkok at 5.45am this morning, so that means a lot of heavy lifting. I hope it doesn't rain. Eep.
The birthday was aaaallllright la. Had lunch out, came back and continued working till 6, left to give tuition, rushed back, did a bit of laundry and fed Dog, then rushed to get ready and left to meet Yiling and Yincheng. Since all the girlies had stuff on tomorrow, it was just us 3 last night. Left our bags and got our entry chop at Phuture, then took a cab to Arena.
After clarifying that it was really free entry and free drinks, I confidently walked right up to the bouncer to get in. Then he said two words, "ID please."
"OHHH SHI- Yiling did you bring your IC??"
"Oh my god! I left it in my bag at Phuture!"
"OH MY GOD YOU TWO AH" - yincheng
It was a classic moment I swear. We couldn't stop laughing about it. Yincheng was extremely patient with us the entire time, during which we took a cab all the way back to Phuture to get our ICs. Bumped into idiot Ernie haha, she pinched me so hard I smacked her in the chest. HAHA. Can't wait to see her this Saturday!
After about 5 lychee martinis we were starting to feel the buzz, and were sick of the martinis. So we switched to vodka sprites, of which I downed about three. And that was it.
Phuture was full of ugly guys, it was horrible. I did bump into Jocelyn, Samantha and Regina tho, so it wasn't so bad. I was taken aback when Samantha told me she had the dress I was wearing. She's also got a bob for a haircut and was wearing a classy poncho-looking dress. Definitely not the Samantha I remember from TPJC.
Overall it was a pretty okay night, finally did the partying I've been meaning to do for the past 3 weeks and spent my birthday with good friends.
Hopefully my mom will be in a good mood while Aunty Gogi is here, she lands tomorrow. Then she won't feel the need to cancel the BBQ coz Pa isn't here.
As for work, i'm going to be doing some major bumming the week onwards till I leave for the UK - aka FINISH MY DAMN SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS. I also need to work on my Murdoch essay and send it out.
I'll be working only Fridays at Wild Oats, so my pay will be more pathetic than usual this month. I guess it's good timing, coz I might just be stopping. But when I come back from the UK i'll need time to get a proper job so working there could buy me some time.
But yay! I got my weekend back! I've been working every single damn Saturday night for the past 4 months and it's quite sad to see all the happy people coming to Wild Oats for drinks after a movie, or before a night out.
Just got a call from Asri from camp, he misses me! So sweet la! I haven't seen him since results day, and even then I couldn't give him a hug because his mom was behind him. I asked him to come for the BBQ, hopefully he can make it.
One last thing - I've finally booked my ticket to the UK, for three weeks. It took be HOURS to get the booking done because I was using Aresha's Skywards miles for Emirates, and after so much hassle, and a real GEM of a woman from the Singapore Emirates office who helped me out for an hour over the phone, I finally got it booked for the 30th of April, at a grand total of SGD$500. :)
Can't wait to leave. Really need the break. I'll be sitting in fields writing poetry. Hopefully the weather would've warmed up. But I bought a pair of adorable knitted boots from the US, so I should be prettay comfy.
Oh man, for the next 2 weeks that my Aunty and cousins are here i'll have to bunk in with Aresha. I foresee many stupid arguments.

can we rewind?
To maybe about 15 years ago? When everything was okay, even if the problems are more deep-rooted than that. But most importantly, everyone was happy together.
How can an entire family fall apart? Then again, the only thing keeping it together by a thread would probably be the kids, us.
finally, free time.
Yeah, been doing way too many things at once. Sometimes I feel like superwoman.
Lets list it down;
Waitressing/Cashiering/Bartending (sorta) at Wild Oats
Tuition teacher
Helping Aresha with her media company and tings
Volunteering at the vet clinic
Doing all my damn university applications!
Aaaarrrrgblah
Oh and the laundry. WHAT.
On top of that, Maninichit the Maid from Myanmar is no longer working in our mad house. She took the highway, alright. The chaos of our house is sometimes just too much for the average maid to handle. So the house is in a nice cosy mess. Super patti has been coming over almost every morning to help send Ashwin to school, coz sometimes I just can't wake the hell up.
I shall be taking things slow in a few weeks, get my head straight, wait on the replies from the vet schools in Australia and look forward to a month in the UK, while babysitting the English Imports. Aniek and David will be flying in again next Friday! I CANNOT wait to see them because I really want to make their holiday here special, and Aunty Gogi's been telling us how excited they've been about coming here. And after everything they've been through too.
So first, I will stop going to the clinic in the next week. As much as I love it, I just have no more time anymore, and the PastaMania event Aresha is doing is just gonna get busier over the next two weeks, so I might as well stop. And i'll be off to the UK like 2 weeks after that.
After PastaMania I'm cutting off from Eight Communications. I'm fine with socializing and all the blah that goes along with it, but I just don't like the idea of living with my boss 24/7. Haha! And essentially it just doesn't interest me. What will my full-time job be in awhile? I haven't decided yet. Maybe teach tuition on a full-time basis.
Wild Oats I don't know. I'll be informing Mitch of my leave for about a month in May, and then decide after that if I wanna continue. Ma doesn't like the idea of me working as a waitress till next year, so a proper job it is. A desk job? Ehhhh... hmmm.
Well we'll see about that. I'll just worry about what I have to worry about at the moment, which is a horrible amout of many different things all jumbled together, if you can visualise that. It's headache inducing.
The only thing keeping me sane at the moment is welllll..... A someone. Don't know how long it'll last, don't know how far it'll go, but most importantly it's the most enjoyable thing so far this year. Worse part tho, is that my weekends are taken up by Wild Oats and tuition. But I cap it there, I will NOT DO ANY more WORK ON WEEKENDS because we've got so little time as it is :(
Okso, back to applications and what not. :O

soooo tired
After a late night of coming up with 50 pasta trivia, waking up early to buy Ash breakfast, and a full day at the vet, inclusive of ferrying a huge boxer on and off the surgery table, then rushing home with no lunch.....
I am getting ready for the Maroon 5 concert. Heh hehehehehe
Can't wait to meet Maya! I haven't seen her in yonkers I feel so bad for blowing her off all the time. I'm a horrible friend.

road trip time!
To those who don't know, I will be in Malaysia for the next 3 days. I leave in approximately 8 hours but haven't quite packed. But I plan to bring dresses for the entire trip. So I don't need to worry about coordinating and all that shite. ALSO, we'll be driving the whole way. Expect roadtrip photos! Woo!
Rasputin is so cute. As I type this he's trying to find a secret compartment in my bag he can hide in when I go to KL. IF ONLY IT WAS SO EASY MR POTATOTUTIN :D
Haha fatass ratty
Was at Relish on Tuesday night to EAT NOT TO WORK for once. And there was this new boy. My family and I had a good time, the burgers were good (of course) except my mom couldn't eat her Tofu Burger cause it was grilled on the same grill as the beef patties. So wasted.
Before I left I asked Sandra if she'd need me again, and she said.... I DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK! OMG YAY! AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa
Because of new staff. WOO! I AM FREE! Free to work at Wild Oats again, gosh its just a lovely feeling. Nothing against the Relish staff, but I just don't like restaurant work. Not that it's hard or anything, I just... don't like it. It's horribly boring, and the hours were bad for me. In February I earned a PITTANCE. A PITTANCE! I wanted to throw myself off a building after receiving my cheques.
I meant for this to be a longer entry but I am ever so busy :(
Till Monday!

rule numbah one
If anything can fuck up, it will.
I won't be going anywhere for university this year, unless it's NUS/NTU. Missed the 2008 UK entry, and Australia only starts Feb 09. So where does that leave me?
Fucked. Ok la maybe not. Maybe taking a year off might just be what I need. But I really feel ready to start. Now. This year. Ok I want to stop thinking about that.
A cat came in yesterday. It was immobilized since birth and the owners have been manually feeding it, cleaning it and everything for the past 6 years. All its senses were still intact but it simply couldn't move at all. Rigid as a corpse.
So Riane and I were delegated the task of feeding it every few hours using a syringe, with me starting first. It was still completely alert, and it could move its head around just a little bit. After that it just couldn't stop looking up at me after I retured it to its box. It felt... I felt just so sad. It had a tumour in its brain that's just constantly growing bigger and well, to put it bluntly, it's gonna die pretty soon.
On the upside, by the end of the day its temperature went back up to almost-normal, before which it was as low as a dead cat's temperature.
I dunno la, maybe it's just got really soulful eyes. Blog more soon from mrjitsu.

normal distribution curve lottery winner
I'm not gonna write a sappy emo blog post before telling you my results. So here they are.
Chem : A
Math : A
Bio : B
GP : A
Econs : A (OMG A FUCKING A FOR ECONS!)
Malay B : Pass (WOO I PASSED FINALLY!)
So its AABAA. Compared to my predicted grades of AABBB, I think I cleaned up pretty alright! Haha, my brain went completely numb when I saw the results slip. I also almost collapsed, screamed, then lunged at my Civics Tutor and planted a kiss on her cheek. At that point she was more shocked than happy.
It's totally surreal. To have actually done totally AWESOME for once, not mediocre, not slightly above average, not even good. It's fucking EXCELLENT (in my opinion of course). I don't mean to be giving myself too much credit but I damn well deserve it I think. So let me just gloat for now.
Fantastic birthday present in advance.
Speaking of birthdays, Aresha turned 24 today! Gonna take her out for dinner later.
HAPPY BIRDAY SMELLY!
And, speaking of smelly. Rasputin the ratatouille is now a fatatouille. Really. He isn't as small anymore which is good, I let him run around the room most of the time when i'm home, but he's got a nice round belly to show for it too. DAMN CUTE LA.
Dog and I also have been bonding over walks. I now abstain from leashing her when we walk, so she's free to smell whatever she likes wherever she likes, as long as she doesn't start eating anything. She also has the sense to keep within least a 2m radius of me. It doesn't bother anyone, since she doesn't quite care about people walking by her as much as they think she does. But it's been raining more as of late, so it's less walks. Rain = Depression.
Aresha has lost the battle of trying to convince me to go Macintosh. The recent huge ass IT show came and went, and I left the show with a Fujitsu Lifebook S Series. I dunno la, I like the design of the Macbook and yada yada, but after using it for a week when Aresha was in New Zealand it started to get frustrating. The specs on the Lifebook are better, and I just prefer the feel of Windows. Just my own preference.
I named my laptop mrjitsu. After further thought in the shower I should've named him MrSamuraiJitsu. Or jitsu the samurai. Oh well, I don't know how i'm gonna change the name but i'll just leave it.
It looks all business-y professional and boring, but one of those G-mask things will change that in a snap. But I do like the matte finish better, the glossyness of all the other laptops kinda made them look a little cheap.
Ok la the screen isn't sooo shiny, but it hasn't got a single pixel out of place, and movies screen well too so i'm not complaining. Finally! A damn laptop. Waited long enough. But if you didn't go for the IT show you would've missed out. There were some mad deals there. And I only checked out the laptops section.
But of course the downside was the crowd. I went there at 2pm on the last day thinking i'd make it out by 3.30pm so I could get to work on time but boy was I sooo wrong.
What I don't understand is... the need to bring your aged grandma or newborn child to the IT show. I mean, seriously! There was this horrible dude who was shoving his stroller into my way when I was already stuck in a crowd that was hardly moving. And he was literally shoving, no one was pushing him or anything. Fuck, I was so close to shouting at someone.
Ok that aside, i'll be in KL next weekend. I'm accompanying Aresha up coz she was asked to DJ at an F1 pre-party. I thought maybe they could've given her free passes to F1, but noo. Either way, it's still a holiday, and my first once since the A's ended! A week after that Aunty Gogi and the kids will be flying in for Primela's 21st, and also for the kids to have a holiday. They really deserve it after all they've been through, and i'll make sure of that.
End April I will most likely be flying to the UK to help Aunty Gogi out with whatever moving she needs to do and also to babysit her kids whenever I can. Aresha will be joining me afterwards, and we'll be going on a roadtrip to the different universities and hopefully they'll give me a place.
And the random anonymous who knows the boy who looks like Weezer's lead singer, PLEASE don't say anything. And. Who are you. What did you google to end up here? Hrm.

oh, the dysfunction.
But i'll start with not so depressing things. Singapore Airshow was last Sunday and it was a blast! I'll put up photos whenever la. It was a lunch thing, and they had everything in their buffet from prata to sushi! We enjoyed it in air-conditioned bliss from the 2nd floor of the exhibition building while we saw thousands of people bustling about below with umbrellas.
Then when the airshow started, the VIPs had an entire balcony to themselves from where we got to watch the show, and definitely the best seats in the house AND we get free beer/soft drinks/ice cream! It was amazing, and so was the sun. Sitting 2 hours watching the entire thing on the balcony gave me a horrific tan that still hasn't faded.
I loved the Airbus A380. It's so damn majestic. It was huge, flying round in circles making so little noise you wouldn't even have noticed it was flying up there.
After the airshow it was a killer to get out of the place. If you didn't drive you might've died of heatstroke. The queue for the shuttle bus and taxis were unbelievable. To catch a cab in the queue you'd need to pay $8 more even before the taxi brings you anywhere.
Excluding the weekend, I was sober for a week. Some people know why, some people don't. But most people know I don't go a week without drinking at least once. Not because i'm an alcoholic or all that kinda bull but it's just fun when you have the right company. And know when to stop of course, so you wouldn't wake up the next morning with the room spinning.
So the week was okay, and the clinic now has a new intern. Well she's been there for about 3 weeks now I just haven't blogged about it. Riane from MJC, with the same dreams of becoming a vet. She's really fun to hang out with and talk nonsense. She'd tell me things about some TKGS girls which don't surprise me really. I'm just glad I didn't study for my PSLE, then I wouldn't kena a school like that. HAHA! Eh but seriously. I'm glad for the ghetto Bedok View memories.
Also bumped into Shane who lives about 2 houses away from the vet. Haven't seen him in well, years?
Mundane week aside, after work on Saturday Daniel and I met at City Hall. Was supposed to be Raushan, Zahra, Daniel and me but since the 2 monkeys couldn't make it we just decided to go ahead. I really needed to go out and drink too. After about 45 mins of walking around Clarke Quay looking for an ATM and the bar that he wanted to go to so badly we finally settled down at this turkish 'cafe restaurant' to watch the last 10 mins of the Fulham - Man U/Man City - Wigan matches.
After that we headed to Sahara which was some Tamil Tigers sorta bar/club. Not only did we not fit in, I was nay close to yelling at some people who kept banging on the toilet door and rattling the doorknob as I was trying to take a piss, despite me yelling 'IT'S OCCUPIED.'
But it was still alright coz it wasn't too crowded. Had shisha and more booze, bumped into a couple of people I actually know (omg) and called it a night at almost 4am.
When that wasn't enough, I 'bumped' into Daniel and Raushan at Changi Village and we slacked at a persian cafe with more shisha and booze and Mas Selamat jokes. After also about 4 games of dysfunctional pool we left the place and took the bus home. Might just see them this Friday for more booze. HAHA.
That is... if my A Level results don't make me wanna stay home and cry. Even then I still gotta go to Relish for work. Urgh. Ookstopthinkingaboutit.
On the upside, i'll be going for a scary movie tonight with the Wild Oats girlfriends. I think we're gonna watch The Eye, we talked about it before. Haven't seen them in weeks! Can't wait yay!
I STILL haven't said anything about anything dysfunctional that has happened in the last 24 hours. Oh well, till the next update :D

I STILL haven't said anything about anything dysfunctional that has happened in the last 24 hours. Oh well, till the next update :D
