27/04/2006 24) My 2 weeks in Sg - Part 1I am SO HOT. I'm talking about temperature here, but feel free to think otherwise. ^^ But omg the country is slowy killing me. The heat CAN kill.. losing water and all. Shopping just makes you unaware of your gradual death.
But you know, I got a COLD in Singapore. I don't get how that works. Maybe cuz I bathe in cold water and sleep without a blanket. BUT I still feel hot. So now I'm hot and have a cold. ERGh.
Hung out with Lydia two nights ago and her car was SO cool and we talked about her not-really-cool-more-nerd-so-sherlz-may-like boyfriend and my ex-gangster-with-a-dark-past-and-wears-a-suit-without-a-tie future boyfriend and about other random things. I gave her the stupid seeds Dorcas wanted to give her food-fussy bird... I mean, they were SHELLED. No one shells MY prawns!! *sulks jealously*
wHY am I jealous of a BIRD? ARGHH.
I've spent SO much money and it's only been 3 valid days. I don't know how I'm gonna survive. I love pasa malams and their $10-for-5 earrings. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
I just got two more ear piercings. Joy is right. Maybe I AM turning into an ah lian!!! Oh well. Better chances of getting a gangster boyfriend then. ^^

NTU was HUGE. I'm talking, GIGANTIC. It's like WOW there are so many BIG buildings here and which one is the arts building?? And then I realized that I was just floundering around in the engineering section and there were about FIVE more of these sections for other subjects out there and SHIT how am I gonna get around I NEED A CAR DAMMIT.
Note. I actually said "NEED". Not "WANT".
But the test, oh the test. It turned out to be what I kinda expected it to be - but I don't know if that's a good thing or not. Questions in the test were.. interesting. Like, write a story about this boy and a rabbit and then this shapes and having to use them to make three different pictures, one stable, one unstable, one dynamic (wtf) and also this one about about drawing a pic comprising of a book and a teacup (Wtff) and then one about a picture and the emotions you feel and then another about taxis and what colors you'd choose to manufacture them in. I said plum and slate. DON'T ask me WHY. I had a stupid reason then.
-
On the topic of taxis, I HAVE to agree with Maine that taxi drivers here are SO cool. They are SUCH awesome conversationalists and they can talk about ANYTHING, like the weather, other countries, politics, people in general, the educational system in Sg and other stuff... Love em.
And speaking of transportation and the likes, I had SUCH a good idea just a few hours ago on the bus. I think that it'll be SO cool if girls put the EZ-link cards in their bras and so everytime we get on the bus we can just swipe a boob over the card censor. Bras are now decorative AND convenient! GAH I am genius. -
Just talked with my mom online and she said the strangest things.. She used Jess' MSN so she's called ~Birdie~. I'm Close the World.
~*~birdie~*~ says: the house is like a church now....ie.without u here Close the World says: EHHH MOM Close the World says: is it like a church cuz it's quiet??
~*~birdie~*~ says: yeh you are right , silence mann! Close the World says: or more... wholesome..? O_O ~*~birdie~*~ says: can literally hear our hair grow, pin drop etc.. Close the World says: AHAHAH!!! U're hilarious!! Close the World says: are u the one typing?? ~*~birdie~*~ says: yes i am typing ~*~birdie~*~ says: what time are u leaving for dinner? Close the World says: leaving soon Close the World says: gonna tuition kyna a little before i go ~*~birdie~*~ says: good thing, you know you do not eat for free - work hard! Close the World says: AHHHHHH MOM are you the one typing??
Ehh... Strange mom. I'm gonna go out now. Will let everyone know once I see a hot guy. 22/04/2006 23) Of Toes and Evil...My Dad came back just this past Thursday from Singapore. My heart feels so much better knowing he's alright. But the thing IS... The presents.
He got all these really cool shirts for my brother. And he got my sis a frickin laptop. Guess what he got me? A cheap alarm clock. You know, I can get a couple of hints..
Nahh... Dad said he be gettin me a laptop once I settle down in Singapore.. IF I settle down in Singapore. Otherwise I'll stay in Perth, and he said he'd get me a car. Whether I get into NTU or not.. it has become this beautiful win-win situation. I am content. (I'm actually considering failing that test... The car sounds REALLY good...)
I realized I gotta start blogging more significant things about my life. Like...
I'll be going to Singapore this Monday. The faculty test - not interview - is on Wednesday. Strange creativity test about writing impromptu essays and drawing spontaneous doodles. I wonder how far my brain can stretch. Which leads me to wonder if I even have a brain. But I've been doing fine without one so far, so MeH. Will be staying in the mini-mother land for two weeks and my plan is to slim effin down. And shop. Especially shop. but I gotta slim down first before I shop. DIEt. -
I almost fainted on the train yesterday. Blurred vision, muffled sounds, lack of all senses, pain, unknowingly missing my stop and all. Ended up sitting down at Subiaco station waiting for Jess to come instead of getting to West Leederville where I was meant to meet her. All the while trying to recover with a layer of cold sweat over every surface area of my skin. I think I seemed really unstable and tired-looking and I think the other passengers thought I was strange. While I thought the train conductor was a BAD driver and didn't know how to keep his wheels on the rails. It was the pain and the nausea that told me it was just ME. But the whole thing made me realize there ARE nice people in this world. They offer their seats after seeing your pale ghostly face and trembling seemingly-weak appendages (or maybe they think you're gonna throw up and need an excuse to get out of the way - but no, that girl was behind me.. ^^) They try to help you pick your bag up which you drop about 5 times in a row successively. They inform you that you totally missed your stop making you realize what seemed like 15 seconds really was 6 minutes. And nice train station officers ask you if you want water or to make a call or if it really was that bad when ladies have menstrual cramps..
But yea.. The world is full of nice people and we only need bad experiences to remind us of it. *plays Corrinne May - Angel in Disguise* -
Sent Bill off at the airport last night with Jess Joy and Ben and the rest of his friends of whose names I do not know. Before he left, he reminded me to blog more, which made me ask him if he had even read the recent ones, which lead him to say no, which lead me to nearly pummelling his head in.
So it made me realize I still had blog material on past events with the SQ guys and I wanna blog it so I can get over it and blog other more important stuff. Oh did I say more important?!? I must have been accidentally typing my thoughts again.. OoPziez....
It was, oh who cares when it happened, but it was recent. They were at my place, three of the SQ boys along with Joy and Grace, and we were having another steamboat (I think it was the day after the Gengrace steamboat... Eergh... seafood overload... *coughs a prawn out*) and we were just there at the table. Was after a series of funny things I did not bother remembering for blogging, cuz I only remembered a couple, me thinks. Grace Joy and myself were trying to play footsy with each other DON'T ask. And Grace eyed Jess in what she thought was an inconspicuous manner, but Jess was so blur she didn't even realize it anyway.. but she didn't feel anything cuz her legs were crossed under her and on the chair, OUT of Grace's leg-reach. And Grace was already stretching her leg out pretty far and I could see this toe popping out under the table cloth and flicking the Steamboat wire and I was like O__O??TheHell? And Jess still wasn't aware of it until I asked, "Grace the hell you doin??" and she blurted out, "HOW come Jess's foot doesn't exist???"
GEH... I nearly crashed my face into my very hot soup. It was hot. So I didn't.
Then we were all just sitting there and us girls were talking about painting nails and things and while Julz was bending down to pick something up Grace went, "Julz?? Why are you checking your toes??" And I was stupid and dumb enough to have heard something else so I said, "YOU PAINT YOUR TOES??" At which Julz very softly and insecurely told everyone, "No.. no... Umn, I... I have hairy toes..." Like it was some sudden, sad epiphany.
We all kinda went o__o.
I just HAD to blog it.
And then while the dishes were being washed, according to my sources, he was still walking around looking at whoever's foot came by and wondering why their toes were not hairy.
Followed by:
No Bill didn't really do that. Really.
But the Photoshop IS pretty isn't it?? ^__^ Ok MAYBE after I refine my PS skills. I have none at the moment so THERE.
OH I remember this bit which TOTALLY cracked me up... was while we were upstairs watching MTV and we were watching this Kanye West MTV with Pamela Anderson in it for some reason and this black girl came on and started telling KW off, and she was saying something about "Why go for a white girl when you got ALL this" indicating her ass.. and then:
Bill: *engrossed in show* YEAA you want some black ASS bitch???
[Everyone stares at him]
Bill: Omg. Did I just say that out loud?
Ben claimed the man forgot where he was and who he was with. I think it was purely habitual. *winxx*
-
THEN there was the night of Joi's parent's anniversary. The guys came to our place first for dinner before going to Joy's. We were walking along the road - my wary eyes all out for spiders every second I tell you - and I thought it was SO funny when the guys were asking about the night life here,
Julz: It's only 8!! Why are all the houses so dark??
Jess: That's how it is here.
Julz: But... where are all the people hiding??
O__O I wanted to chuck something at him.. *picks Ben up*
And speaking of Ben, he was SO out of it that night too. I would love to blog about a random, most strangest 2-sec grasshopper/cricket/kangaroo dance he did and Joy's place... It was just... the strangest thing. But I am unable to fully describe in words and detail just how FUNNY it was. I don't think I can ever discard the memory.
Damn.
Steamboat can do things to people. I'm SURE of it.
Played MORE cards at the Chia's place (we're mad I tell you..Bridge can only for SO far...) and I realized the desire to win can make people do things... Evil... things...
Was playing with Grace David and Julz and the thing was that Dave won the bid so he chose a partner, which I was not. Meaning it was one of the other two. And while playing, Grace suddenly said, "I'm so confused! Who's my partner??" And I was like, "OMG Grace, now that you said that, WE are obviously partners!!" And so I played to support her, and THEN she suddenly whipped the partner card out meaning she was Dave's partner and not mine and I was like "OMG GRACE How COULD you deceive me and USE me like that??? I thought you were NICE??!!?!"
Oh the wickedness... the yearning for victory can bring people down the path of evil....
ARGHH THAT'S IT. I plan to kill her before my trip back to Sg. EVIL here I come. 19/04/2006 22) Wei Yi's b'day...Been listening to Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams again and realized I haven’t gotten sick of it yet, even till now. ♥ it… Had another dream last night… something about beating some people up and it felt SO good. I slapped that bitch real good, excuse the French. I think I scratched and left blood.. but it really wasn’t as violent as some other dreams I’ve had. Really. She and this guy were from some magazine company and were doing really irritating stuff and putting people in difficult situations so they could write all about it in their mag. Hey that kinda sounds like me and my blog. O_O …Wonder how many people out there are dying to beat me up.. o_o;; -
Wei Yi’s party… about time I blogged about it. What happened? Jess and I met up with Sherlz and Mainyy first and then went to that Italian restaurant – its name I do not recall. But the water was expensive too, I remember that. Going off on a tangent, it's strange how me and Maine can link just about anything up with… sex. We are SO messed up. Maine: *hugs a banana pillow* Or like [Dave and Grace acting lovey-dovey as usual] And I found this at Maine's blog but I cracked up after reading: Mainyy: it is obviously nice to be easy!!! i erm. i mean. erm. big mistake. erm. its EASY TO BE NICE.
SEE WHAT I MEAN?? Wei Yi: *introducing Gengracers to her cuzzin Sharon* This is Jess, Sherlene, and this is... *looks at me* Oh don’t bother about her. She’s insignificant. Whoa. Cut. I’ve been cut. The scar won’t go away. Ok not really cuz I was laughing like hell then. BUT the truth is pummeling me now. I need plastic surgery. Speaking of plastic surgery and the likes, there was this bit during the dinner where I helped Wei Yi take a pic of her, Jess and Japelin. (Whoa.. feels weird calling her Japelin. Will stick to Jap..) I passed the camera back to them and apparently Wei Yi's green shirt and the Jap's light red shirt came out really really sharp. The green was SO bright and the red-so-light6-that-it-could-be-pink shirt looked scarlet. Jess: Wow.. this cam really emphasizes things.. What can I say? I'm an idiot. So many quotes but I cannot recall all. Oh yea... this... [Maine pretends to lick a rubbish bin shaped and painted to look like a giant ice-cream – pic is in her blog me thinks? Is it?] See what I mean by that link-everything-up-with-sex thing? Erh. I was quite proud of that oneliner until everyone sorta gave me that look and I was like Ahem Ahem Cough Cough Let’s go home now Jess…Cough NOW.. But anyway.. The party was good. Had fun. WITHOUT playing cards even. AND no bubble tea too. One of those rare occurrences.. XD
Hmmz... I wanted to blog about the night Joy Grace and the SQ guys came over for ANOTHER steamboat but I think I've blogged enough and I think I really should start spacing my entries out a bit more. It'll probably be my NEXT entry. EHH tardiness... my forte. *sigh*
15/04/2006 21) I've decided to start counting my entries...I realized that a lot more people visit my blog than I had initially anticipated. It kinda went like this: Andy had been talking about this hit counter thing and a tracker so not only do I get to see how many people have visited my blog altogether, but I get to see who does and when and other cool secret detective agency stuff like that. So I looked for a counter and found one and they said to put in the number of people who have already visited your webpage so it can continue counting from there, and I thought Oh WTH but isn't this exactly WHY I need a counter in the first place?? But I decided to try making an estimated guess at the total number of hits.
My calculations:
There is a mean of about 5 people who read every entry. And then there is this mean of 3 people who actually comment each entry. This makes a probable average of 4 people viewing every entry. Meaning 4 hits per entry. And then I make myself feel better by pretending it's an average of 7. And to make myself feel even better, I add 5 more to the number to cover any randoms that unintentionally ever get into my blog, making this 12 hits per entry. (Yea ok I'm aware these calculations make no sense... But ever since WHEN did I ever make sense??) And seeing as I have 20 entries altogether (excluding this one), 20 x 12 hits is 240. So I was like WOW awesome. I get to start with 240 hits on my counter!! What a big number!!
But MSN Space wouldn't let me install the hit counter. Cuz you can't alter the HTML of the Space webpage. I got kinda annoyed and was looking all around the settings of My Space and I suddenly saw this "Statistics" link and after yippeeing, I waltzed into the link, and saw a BIGger number. 1603. WOW. I was like. WOWOWOW. Ok, other people are like, "Ehh... 160000 only?? Bahh..." And here I am with 1603 going WOWOWOWOW. I'm so small and the world is so... big.
But anyway. 80 hits per entry? That ain't even comprehensible. I don't think it's possible, actually. I thought that maybe it was all the viewings I did but I kept viewing my Space and then checking the stats and I realized they didn't count my IP address or something cuz the numbers didn't change. Damn. That ruined like, so many plans to up the hits count. -__-'''

There is this fly that keeps buzzing around me and it's SO big and SO irritating and I tried whacking it once but it disappeared for half a second before coming back to the SAME spot where I just whacked it again. Then it came back a minute later RIGHT in front of me and that was when I knew it was SO asking to be killed. So I killed it.
Darn insect. I will carve respectfully upon your gravestone:
I used a book,
Then a CD case.
But you kept flying at my face.
You made me cringe, You made me cry.
Just die already you stupid fly.
R.I.P. Buzzy the fly.
[Honestly, I JUST thought of it and wrote it. Two minutes. GAWD I'm skilled... XD *dodges rotten tomatoes and a smelly watermelon*]

Just came back from staying out the WHOLE DAY this Friday. After Good Friday Chruch service was lunch with the Gengracers at Siang's place. Sherlz bought all these stupid fishballs and the only one willing to eat them all was Jin but that's cuz he'll eat anything that ain't green. But the food was good. Steamboat makes me happy. And full. More happy. Ended up washing the dishes cuz I played no part in preparations... knowing fully that I AM a kitchen hazard...
Maine washed dishes with me - something about her little issue with people saying she didn't know how to and that she'll never make a good housewife and so I gathered she was trying to prove to herself that she could or something... I just stood by the side listening to her mumble something like "Damn them... I can wash okay... I can wash. I'm using the green side of the sponge now. Not the yellow. The GREEN dammit. I can. I SO can..."
And then we played MORE cards. It was just Tai ti and SNAP dammit. SNAP. Shermy made us play it. It actually turned out really competitive towards the end. Don't ask me how SNAP can get competitive but once JIN came in we almost clawed at each other. It was unintentional on my part though. *Hides long bloodied fingernails* Really.
Then we went out for bubbletea - just Dorcas, Siang, Mainyy (Mainyy is Shermy and Shermz and Mainez and stuff - all the same girl.. just in case some really really dumb person doesn't know.. XD), Gav and me. Mind you I didn't have any bbt. Honest. I was broke and so I smartishly decided to wait for Jess to come later to buy me one. ^__^ We played more cards - Chasing the dragon and Tai ti, and Siang kinda dominated the games. Damn him. Enough to be a smart doctor, but a smart card-playing doctor?? ERGH.
Then we went to Pot Black and played some pool. Just me and Maine and Gav. And then Dorc and Siang joined us later. Siang kinda dominated the game. Again. So now it's a smart card-playing pool-expert doctor. DAMN him.
And then he paid for pool too. Damn the smart card-playing pool-expert pay-for-everything-dammit doctors...
ARGH.
Dorcas treated us to ice cream waffles after. All of us but the DOCTOR contributed whatever little measly leftover change we had in our pockets so we didn't feel so bad about pool.
Come to think about it... I don't actually know if he paid for the ice cream too. AHH nah... I believe not.
Waffles make me happy too. ^__^
-
Met up with Jess and had dinner at Billy Lee's with Ben and Julz after playing another round of Chasing the dragon with the Gengracers. Ben started complaining about how noisy I was. After a while he started complaining about why I was so quiet. I wanna kill him. Wanted to kill that buddha statue too (no offence to anyone out there coming across this) but it was cuz I was annoyed and the thing looked so happy and I just wanted to wipe that damn smile off its face and maybe shove one of those gourds down its throat. And those beads around the neck looked ideal for neck-strangling... I start to wonder if I'm talking about the statue or Ben? o__o BUAHahahz... Jk Sudden Evil. If you even reading this..
Then bubbletea... AGAIN. But this time Jess was there. *smiles* Met Bill, Grace and Joy there and we were just talking about some pilots that just came in and why were they all in black? And Julz very suddenly piped up, "Hey Sam! You should see us in our flying jackets man! All three of us will wear it one day to show you. You're SO gonna be drooling. Drool factor!!"
What really stumped me was that the way he said it sounded so casually genuine... Sorta like how one would say "Hey let's go have bubbletea!" or "Anyone hungry? Let's go eat now." kinda thing.. And I just started cracking up cuz I suddenly realized he really meant it. UWAHAHAHAzz...
Yea ok. Lemme gather up some saliva first. ^__^
Ben finally really believed how feral Grace was when she played cards. He didn't believe my previous blog entry but NOW he does. We played cards again you see. At Formosa. With Grace. GRACE. I don't even need to explain how it went.
Some guy friend of the SQ guys' wanted to "get to know" Joy. So Bill was introducing her to them. AHAHAHA... I will kill them if they touch her... After I finished my round of Bridge, that is. I was SURE this happened but maybe it was just me: I saw Bill introducing her to this other group and was about to go over to this particular group with the particular guy that was interested, and I was SURE I saw the dude standing up and arranging some chair next to him like he was getting it ready for the Spongey. Joi kinda ran back to us before anything though, and I was like, "EHH rejected him???" but she was rambling on about how we should stop playing bridge and play more Tai ti. I don't know if anyone saw what I saw and thought what I thought. But I'll just stick to this story until someone comes along and tells me something else. I'd prefer this story too... cuz it's SO funny how the dude was like, frantic and everything.. rushing to make ready the seat.. BUAHAHAhz... argh I hope it wasn't just my imagination. XD
-
Right. Longish entry. And I haven't written about Wei Yi's birthday too. I JUST realized Jap promised me Hunter x Hunter CDs and it never came. I NEED it. Eerrghh.... *feels lost* 13/04/2006 Create the chaos..Bill said I instigate chaos on purpose just so I could blog about it. >__<
Maybe? EHHEHEhzz...
-
Jap kept forcing me to draw her a damn comic and cuz I know her and what she'd do to me if I didn't, I did. Draw a comic, I mean.
[Click on the Blog button on the horizontal menu bar atop the page to widen the entry so you can see the entire pic...]
[http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-2/1143087/comic-japstrip4.JPG] <<- Link, just in case the pic don't work.
The red stuff on her teeth is blood. Just so you know I didn't make any coloring errors or whatever. Cuz even if there really wasn't blood, I was pretty sure I saw it. Damn imagination trying to scare me again. Erh.
And then SHERLZ saw it and wanted one too and was like,
Sherlz: Hey hey! *smile* Draw me a comic too!! *smiles this really cheesy-looking smile*
Me: WHY are you smiling like that?
Sherlz: So I'll be drawn as a sweet innocent person!! *smiles more*
Oh dear.
-
Went out the whole day last Sunday. After church it was lunch with some Gengracers and SQ guys (Bill and Julz) and Joy and Grace. ARGH Mainyy was left all alone back at church!! I was supposed to drive her to lunch but she kinda disappeared for a long while so me and Gav decided to go. And then she never reappeared. I called her many times but the bimbotic girl left her even more bimbotic phone at home. Everyone was asking where she was.
Oh well. Good thing everyone was blaming Sherlz. <.<;;
And guess what we did at lunch?
Bridge.
Again.
Grace demonstrated how scary she was. Again. I shall not explain in detail just HOW as young children may come across this blog and have nightmares if they read it. I'll give a MILDER adaptation in the form of my usual scriptwriting.
[We're playing bridge and Grace realizes that she was losing.]
Grace: ... .... *stays silent for a while* ..... *then..* RRAAAAWWWRRRRRRR!!!!
Me: O__O
Julz: O__O;;
Sherlz: <__< I don't know her.
And then we went on to talk about how the bridge pairings were just like maths. (Really it was Grace, cuz you know, her and her mathematical thoeries and stuff..) Pluses and minuses. Plus = Winner. Minus = Loser. And then about how the pairings SO made sense like a plus (Grace) and a plus (Julz) equaled a plus (they won) and whereas a minus (Sherlz) and a minus (me) equaled a plus (We won somehow. That was when Grace went RAWR) and what further strengthened the theory was when a plus (Grace) and a minus (me) equaled a minus (cuz we lost quite badly and Grace was gonna kill me by dividing me up slowly into multiple pieces. Ignore the stupid puns.)
*sigh* WHY am I a minus?? I thought I was an indices or something. I'm really not that bad at bridge. Really. I'm actually this really evil, scheming, conniving mastermind with big brains that can manipulate the whole game however she wants.
I blame the cards.
-
Grace left for tutioning after and Julz, Bill, Gavin, Joy, Sherlz, Jess and myself left for bbt then laptop window shopping just to satisfy Joy's impulse for laptop-browsing. And then Sherlz left to "buy a shirt" and so the rest of us crashed on the unwitting Joey at her OMG PRETTY~ apartment (Joy: Joey! Be my boyfriend so I can live with you!) and played MORE cards… Tai ti though.. cuz Joi didn’t know bridge dammit. Then dinner at some Italian restaurant. The pizza was good. So were the mussels. The water was bad. And expensive. Joey wanted to kill it cuz she didn't even like it whilst I couldn’t tell the difference between it and normal tap water. Was kinda tempted to run to the toilet with everyone’s glasses. TAPWATER people, TAP. I'm not
I remember while walking to the restaurant though... when we were all walking up a flight of stairs around the train station and I suddenly realized that for some reason I was stomping up the stairs like some overgrown monster with flat feet and I was like, "EHH Why am I so heavy-footed??" We started going down some stairs and I was just telling Jess and Joey who were next to me about how I SO have to work on my footwork-on-stairs problem and that as a lady "I should walk a lot more gracefully, kinda like Joy-"
And then we saw Joy scuttling down the stairs pass us like a penguin with stilettos on and I was like, O__O "JOY!! ARgh... umn... Just... Forget it."
-
According to Jess, there was this time somewhere last week (or maybe earlier) when she and Joi and the SQ guys got together for lunch, when Sherlz and Mainez met them at the restaurant and started chatting with Joy and Jess about what they just did and what they were going to do and what they felt like doing, and so while Jess ate her chicken, Sherlz was blah blah blah and Sherm was blah blah blah BLAH and Joi was going nyah nyah nyah along with them and then the Fuzzy Logic and Toxic girl left after saying everything they wanted to say. Jess said the SQ guys had this look of utter amazement on their faces and Julz suddenly said, "Wow.. They can go on and on without breathing..."
BUAHahahz I thought it was hilarious when I heard.
-
Do I really create pandemonium just so I have something to blog about?? Nah.. it's only when Bill Ben and Julz do anything that I can relate to Brokeback Mountain and I betcha they be watchin their steps real careful from now on. XD
Ben said my entries are like daily essays. I should make them shorter or something. *thinks about it* AAh.. hurts.
I think I'll save Wei Yi's party for another entry. I need manga now. 08/04/2006 Dreams and Dancing like Butterflies...I had another... strange dream.
Started of with me being at home and on MSN and Bill was spouting all these really cool original quotes about friendship and all its mushiness. At first it didn’t seem like a dream cuz I had JUST got off msn with Bill that night but then the quotes were cool. Bill. Cool. No. So it HAD to be a dream. ^__^ I very vaguely recall one was “something something friends something the hand, but something something true friends something the heart” <__< (don't ask) and it sounded really good and made so much sense (I checked my chat logs and then realized that it was a damn dream so it never actually happened so damn.) and I was like WOW who is your best friend???
He never got to answer cuz the dream decided to move on probably cuz it didn’t know the answer either and so I was suddenly at home changed into my school summer uniform and quarreling with Jess over something trivial (as usual). And then I was driving the Odyssey to school, which was Kingsway Christian College, which meant I was year 10.. again, and I don’t get HOW I’m allowed to drive at the age of 15 but whatever it was, my mom was next to me and there were people behind who I was dropping off too.
And so when I drove there and stopped the car - gears, handbrake and all, I suddenly realized I didn’t have any shoes on. Cuz I usually drive without shoes but you know, school, so how can I NOT have shoes? And so I frantically turned around hoping to see a pair lying around and all I saw were three people getting off. So I’m like, “Right, that one at the back is Jess and WHY is she leaving via the boot??” And I saw two guys getting out from both backdoors on each side of the car and I couldn’t see their faces cuz they got off so fast and I thought one of them was probably Daniel but damn why was he so big? And who the hell was the other guy anyway? And then I saw many different kinds of shoes just neatly and conveniently aligned there at the back of the car and one of them happened to be Jess’ old school shoes - which still had a pair of socks in it, just so you know. And I was like OH that’s right! I need shoes!! Jess had already slammed the boot shut and I was like “AH!! JESS!! Can you hear me??? JESS JESS JESS LEMME USE YA SHOES!!!!!!” And she SO obviously heard me but she just kinda looked at me and then turned around and went off and I was like, “MOM she did that on purpose!!!” and then “Ah well the shoes were too small for me anyway.” And then I had to wonder just WHAT was Jess doing in my high school anyway? She’s like.. too old. She wasn’t wearing a uniform though, so I just dismissed the idea of anything.
My mom got out of the car saying that she will go buy shoes from the uniform shop and I wondered briefly if they even sold shoes cuz i was pretty sure they don't usually. So I opened the door but it friggin slammed right into this fragile looking Aussie girl who just happened to be standing in the way of my door and I was like, “Uh… sorry?” And she just smiled and continued on with the conversation she was having with someone else and I was like o__o… *shrugs and walks off*.
And then I was following my mom who was heading towards some classroom and I passed by this lady who was supposed to be some cleaning lady in the school, and she said “Hi, how are you?” and the thing was she looked just like this Indian canteen lady that used to sell me curry in St. Margaret’s Primary back when I was 12 and she spoke just like this German exchange student from Mindarie Senior College when I was 17 (last year) and I was like WTF??? I was about to ask her something about German Curry and then this other Indian man in a suit walked by whom I had never seen before and now wondering if it’s even possible to create random inexistent people in your dreams cuz I thought you’d usually dream of people you’ve met in reality. But anyway, I walked on, bare feet and hurting, and for some reason I don’t know how but I saw my reflection very clearly somewhere and there were blotches of light blue eyeliner on my forehead and I was like WTFF??? And my face felt like it had clearwrap over it and I started feeling very tired. And then I walked on toward my mom and saw her at a doorway with paint splashes around the ankle area of her white pants and thought ‘Now why the hell is that there and what can that mean?’ And then I suddenly woke up cuz my mom was calling me but I thought I was still dreaming cuz everything seemed so hazy.
She was saying stuff like, “I gotta go send your brother off to school now, so can you hang the laundry?” And I was like WTH didn’t I just send him already?? And then I felt my bare feet and blurted out “But what about my shoes???” And cuz I ain’t a morning person and didn’t really open my mouth to say it properly, it came out as “Btm whm abtm mm shmps???” And my mom just gave me this look and she walked off and I started doing the laundry feeling very irritated for some reason. And while pinning a shirt on the line, I suddenly whined very loudly in a clearer but tired kinda voice, “But oh my GOSH my SHOES.” And I felt like throwing a tantrum and I was like ARGHH and I pulled out this pair of tiny boxers from the laundry to hang on the line and I’m like ‘Err… never seen it before. What kinda dream is this anyway??’ And then I remembered that Benedict and Isabel were staying over for a couple of weeks and I’m like OOoohh…. And I finally grasped the fact that I was already awake and no wonder talking made my mouth feel so aggravated cuz that never happened in dreams. And then I realized that I had sprouted that nonsense about shoes to my mom and hopefully she didn’t hear it cuz it would have sounded SO stupid and dumb and my mom already thinks I’m both.
And then I went back to sleep after the laundry and wondered if I’d continue my pointless dream but I started dreaming about Naruto instead and how there was this weird competition in a forest and that Itachi was there and Sasuke was getting really annoyed at him and was trying to kill him and there was Temari as well but I didn’t even like her character that much and she seemed kinda redundant in the dream. And then I woke up again and decided I had enough of dreams and it was 12:30 anyway so it wasn’t too bad a time to wake up at.
Gah. Even my DREAMS need a life.

Just an hour ago before we had dinner, my mom, sis and I were in the kitchen and cuz the music was playing from the computer, I was like, "Jess, how do you dance??"
Jess: Huh? Like what?
Me: Like in clubs.
Jess: Normally.
Me: Well, like HOW? Show me. NOW.
Mom: Jessica can't dance one lah.
Me: Mom! Don't say that!! How would you know anyway?? We haven't seen Jess dance before..
Mom: She's like your dad lah. Your dad can't dance one.
Jess: *mumbles* No one ever told me I danced weird or anything...
Me: Ehh Mom, I'm sure Jess can dance. Good. MOM how did Dad dance??
Mom: He's like, walking one.
Me: O__O
Mom: Like.. *does an example.. which looked very much like a stylish walk of some kind..*
Me: Oh. O__o
Mom: Aye, last time I was dancing queen man...
Jess: Hah? Show us...
Mom: *does a move that consisted of repeatedly circling her hand around her head*
Me and Jess: O_____O
Me: WTH is that??
Mom: It's this. *does it again*
Me: Stop stop, yea I know it. Just.. don't do it anymore. T_T
Jess: What kind of dancing is that?!?
Mom: And you know, there's this other one..
Me and Jess: NO NO it's ok... We get it. o__o;
[Dad walks in]
Mom: Right Dad? Remember dancing last time? You can't dance one... Like walking *does the walking one again >__<*
Dad: Whoo... Dances like a butterfly and stings like a bee. *does associated actions at the same time*
Me and Jess: *crashes to floor*
Yea I love my family. Dances like a butterfly and stings like a bee. Yep. Just great. I'll show you next time if you ask me. ^__^ 07/04/2006 [Book Rec] The Five People You Meet in HeavenThe Five People You Meet in Heaven – Mitch Albom
Chi Yenn rec’d and lent me the book and I’m SO glad she did. It’ll take a couple of uninterrupted hours to read the book nice and slow – because you must. Because it’s just so much for such a small book. And because you’d want to soak it all in. This is a story about a man named Eddie and it begins at the end, with Eddie dying in the sun. It might seem strange to start a story with an ending. But all endings are also beginnings. We just don’t know it at the time.
So yea. I highly rec this book. It’s not mine though. *coughCHIYENNgoaskhercough*
04/04/2006 A long entry to compensate for my recent stagnancy...I've never hung out with a bunch of people SO many times in a week. The only exception is Joy but that's cuz we schooled together and we live close by and we love clawing at each other. But yea, the SAME three people. SO many times. ONE week. But at least they're entertaining when relatively compared.
Ah ok, bad in-joke.
Anyway. I realized that I'm rather... credulous. HOW come MEN can scrutinize better than I, a female, a far more intellectually-superior being, can. I feel so manly all of a sudden. Sa
First of all: my inability to assess. I initially thought the SQ pilot guys were NICE and NORMAL. I was horrendously wrong. Ben was the first to test my sense of judgement a few weeks ago.
First everything was going fine. We were all getting along good. He seemed nice so I was nice. All was GOOD.
Ben: Hey Sam. I have this really good picture of you back at my place.
Me: REALLY?? *thinks oh what a nice thing to say, then thinks twice cuz surely no one can mean that* Wait. Was I doing something embarrassing?? (cuz that's probably the case..) Ben: Oh no.
Me: Oh phew... *thinks wow what a nice thing to say!* Ben: Cuz the sun was behind you and you can't see your face. Me: O___O Wh- Omg- How the- Wtfish- OM- Wha-...
Found out after much one-sided interrogation that he really meant it (*gasp*) cuz of the whole arty-silhouette-with-bright-background-effect thing was nice but I still don't know if I should take it as a compliment or insult. I thought hard about it once and never tried it again after I got a really really bad headache. You can tell thinking isn't my strongest trait. I must exercise my brain more. But then exercising isn't my strongest trait too. I wonder if I'm even capable of thinking and exercising. *thinks about it and stops cuz it hurts* But I actually found the whole thing very funny ever since the words came out of his mouth cuz you gotta admit it WAS a pretty good possibly-unintended insult and I loved it.
But still. Ben = The Sudden Evil.
I have competition now dammit. But at least I'm not sudden. I make my malevolence known from the very start. ^__^
And then there was the king-of-insight Bill. William actually but I need to have a friend I call Bill so I can make stupid jokes like Bill will you still be willing to fill up the bill HAHAHA gettit gettit HAHA.
His insight thing?? I quote him: "Sam, I think you are someone who acts like you have a superiority complex and hence that means you actually have an inferiority complex." Although Jess and Joey: "You pretend to have an inferiority complex when you actually really have a superiority complex Sam."
But how can I have a superiority complex when I AM superior??
Wait hold on, now that TOTALLY supported Bill's statement and I think it's a lot better to have a superiority complex cuz that means I've got confidence which I'm SURE I have.. I think. But then that's socially disastrous. So it's actually safer to have an inferiority complex so that people won't think I'm some egotistical bitch. BUT then there can be those people who see me acting like I have some inferiority complex and think that I AM really inferior when I want them to think I'm superior and vice versa and so the whole thing is some kinda lose-lose situation so WHY am I still going on about this when it was all discussed a week ago already??
(Ok NOTE my friends it's not cuz I dwell on things. I just try to remember them for blogging purposes. Really. No, really. REALLY.)
But I think Bill is credible since he also said "Joy you're the kind that seems innocent and sweet but you're probably a lot more rebellish than you let on." and I'm like *nod head nod head*"yea yea yea..." *nod head* and Joy slapped my nodding head so I could never nod again.
But yea anyway, after a pretty messed-up truth or dare session yesterday at the dinnertable, we (that is Grace, Joy, Jess and myself) all found out that Bill WAS a rebel as much as he doesn't seem like it. Cuz he REALLY doesn't seem like it. But he probably maybe could be should be actually is.
So now Bill = The Closet Rebel.
And then today at dinner. Omg that conversation about ordering naan in that Northern Indian restaurant. About how Bill prefered rice to any nun and Ben Julian and Jess wanted garlic nuns and Justin was ordering himself a single nun and I wanted Jess to share her nun with me while Sharolyn didn't want a nun because she wanted no association in that obscene topic about nuns. And then that ostensibly innocuous, untainted Julian was doing this animated hand signal about tearing apart the... naan. And I was like "ARGH WTH WAS THAT *repeats hand movements*" and he's like, "You know, *hand movements* the nun?" And I'm like, "WTH THAT. Right THERE. *hand movements* WHAT WAS THAT?" What, the naan or the nun? Cuz I mean *hand movements* was SO intentional and HE KNEW IT!!
I thought that MAYBE he really meant it innocently and you know everyone ELSE said it was just me and my warped-up perverted mind assuming things the wrong way as usual like "we know what we're thinking Sam but what are YOU thinking? Why don't you tell us??" courtesy of Ben. And then I HAD to shut up cuz we were all about to eat. But that damn cheeky smile of Julz after the whole thing made me resolute in my conclusion that:
Julz = The Furtive Hentai.
Yes. Definitely. He tried to make it all very subtle but I HAVE SEEN THROUGH IT. AHAHA.
I think it's the whole innocent look that throws things off. Like that night after dinner and Grace teaching Julz card tricks at my place there was that damn truth or dare but no dares so it's truth or truth questions. THAT was when things came to light.
He got the first go at asking questions and we were all expecting something decent and appropriate from him.
Julz: *spins joy's eraser and it points at Ben*
Grace: Hurry ask your question!! Everyone: *waits for something nice and mild like When was your first date or something*
Julz: Ok Ben, out of these four girls here, who do you find most attractive? Grace Joy Jess and Me: O__O *crashes head on table and starts hacking viciously*
Grace: JULZ!!!!
Jess: You wanna die or something??
Me: OMG WTH Sonofa-
Joy: Julz you can't ask these kinda things!!
Grace: And you're the least expected one!!
Jess: Wahlau How can one??
Me: Shit The hell was tha- Mothafu-
Joy: ...I don't wanna play anymore. >__<
We almost killed him. Well, I wasn't gonna kill him. I was waiting for Ben to answer the question so I could kill the girl. ^__^ *sweet smile* Too bad he finished the question in the most politically correct way: I think they ALL are attractive. *smile*
I think Julz tried to make up for that question by acting innocently ignorant when I think it was Grace or Ben who asked When was the your first date and if you can tell, who was it? <<-- Note: NICE, DECENT question. Or maybe he just really wasn't paying attention...
Bill: *going on about really interesting pass life events*
Everyone else: *listening intently*
Bill: *finishes story*
Everyone else: *wows in awe*
Me: Julz what about you?? You've been very quietly fiddling around with those cards...
Julz: *looks up and then looks excitedly at Bill* Hey Bill, *fans cards out* Choose a card!
Everyone: *crashes head on table again*
I think he took down notes on card tricks the way Joy took notes on Taiti. *sigh*
I just remembered this but it was SO strange. Cuz we were talking about when was the first time you asked someone out or someone asked you out and it was Julz' turn and he was recounting this episode in his life where he was 20 and his uncle had this female neighbor who was interested in him but she was FORTY FRICKIN YEARS OLD. FORTY. SHITE. That ain't funny. Daz just wrong. And I just watched Prime that morning too and I was like GEH.
I realized these three weren't too far on account of weirdness when compared to the friends I already have. WHY am I surrounded by these things???
But yea. Back to that I-am-more-manly-and-credulous thing. Further proof was tonight at bubbletea where Sharolyn, Justin, The Sudden Evil, The Closet Rebel, The Furtive Hentai, Jess and myself were sitting around a table playing cards. A girl who was a friend of a friend of the SQ guys came up to talk to them and I thought she was sweet and pretty and the specs were sexy. And then I poked them all after she left,
Me: *hears Bill and Julz discussing something "...I can tell already."* WHAT WHAT?? Tell me what!! You can tell what already?? (argh great. Kay-poh impression. Just GREAT.)
Julz: Umn... just talking about that girl just now. How we can sorta tell what kind she is.
Me: *eyes aflamed* TELL ME MORE. Bill: We can tell she's the... "player" kind.
Me: Howja know that??
Julz: Just look at her eyes.
Bill: You can tell she's assessing everyone. Me: Guys or girls??
Bill: Everyone. Just... more the guys. Me: HOW COME?
Bill: *does that eye thing indicating he thinks that's one of the many dumbest things I've said* TO SEE if they are her "type" or not.
Me: *Looks at Ben's seemingly ignorant face and decides he's as credulous as I am* Hey BILL why don't you go chase her?? Cuz she's really prettY!! And I know you're really this closet rebel. (I don't know why I said all those random things... o_o)
Bill: *does that eye thing indicating he's pretty much given up on me* BECAUSE I said she was... forget it.
Me: But she's quite pretty!!! I can't believe that MEN can pick this out better than I can making me more manly cuz I turned out to be the only one checking her out instead of the GUYS and ARGH that stings.

Thinking about cards and yesterday night... I LOVE bridge. I MUST remember to educate Joy on the art of bridgey goodness. Bill was teaching her Taiti that night. (AND OMG Taiti means BIG TWO said Julz Sharo and Jus. Cuz Tai = Big and Ti = Two??? Cuz of you know, the Two of Spades is the biggest?? WOW it's all so smart. How come no one ever told me!? So interesting aye!?! There's so much symbolism and stuff...) But anyway, about Joy, I just found it rather funny cuz she brought all her lecture material to my place to study her economics and the books were opened in front of her and I've never seen her concentrate SO hard on... the fan of cards in her hand. -__-''' Bill was telling her the order of the cards and she started to very diligently copy notes down on her economics work book. Yes Joy is a hardworking one. She will surely one day find some mathematical formula to winning any BIGtwo game. I will be proud.
Grace is actually quite viciously competitive I realized. Play bridge with her and you'd WANT her to be your partner. She had developed this evil little plan on making things difficult for "confident" bidders such as myself.
Me: One spade.
Grace: ONE NO-TRUMPS!!
Me: Two spades.
Grace: TWO NO-TRUMPS!!!
Me: *sweats*Three spades.
Grace: THREE NO-TRUMPS!!!!!
Me: Umn... Four.. Spades?
Grace: *gleefully* FOUR NO-TRUMPS!!!!!!!!
Me: Ahh... Umn... Errr. MMmph... ARHH FIVE spades.
Grace: HAHA you have fallen into my trap!! I was actually bidding for the sake of bidding so that you have to get ELEVEN hands now!! HAHA My plan worked!! Take THAT!! I am the ULTIMATE CHAMPION.
Me: Wow... she seems so sweet and demure but she really is quite scary.
Grace: I AM SWEET AND DEMURE.
Me: o_o Yes ma'am.
But then it backfired on her cuz she turned out to be my partner. -__-'''
What surprised me was that she really thought she could keep it up:
Me: One spade.
Grace: ONE NO-TRUMPS!
Me: *sigh* Two spades.
Grace: Hawhawhaw TWO NO-TRUMPS!!!
Me: Three spades.
Grace: THREE NO-TRUMPS!!!!!
Me: Four spades.
Grace: FOUR NO-HAHAHA-TRUMPS!!!!!!!
Me: Mm... pass.
Grace: Crap.
And Grace is hilarious when she speaks chinese. Cuz she can't. And it's funny. Cuz even though I can sort of get the point she's trying to get across and though I am unable to correct her, some things she says just sound very messed up and the fact that I can tell means that it has GOT to be very messed up.
Grace: Yay good thing I won the bid on hearts cuz wo yo hen tuo ♥ ai's ♥. (ai means love ehhez...)
Ben: Wth?
Me: ...You mean xing? (which means hearts) AHAHAHA OMG I can't believe I knew that!! No wait. I mean, of COURSE I knew that!!
Grace: *very genuinely* Really?? Wo yo hen tuo xings so wo huay ying de. ("I have lotsa hearts so I will win.")
Me: Wo rang ni zhi dao nah keh Ben de shou mei you xing one. ("I'll let you know that Ben's hand ain't got no hearts.")
Ben: *in perfect English* Yea I'm heartless. *puts a card down*
Me: WAH ni mei yo hao jiao ah!! (Chinese illiterate people!! MANY of you inferior ones out there, I give you a direct translation of that sentense. "WAH you don't have good leg ah!!" ...No, I REALLY knew that it didn't mean 'lame' but I just didn't know the chinese word for it and they WOULD get it anyway so THERE.)
Ben: >__>
Me: <__< ...Lame. (Ok so maybe I had to translate it in the end but I'm sure Grace got it. ^__^)
Grace: AH!!! *slaps a card down" Ni de -she said card in Chinese but I don't know what it is. I'll try to remember to ask my mom- bei wo de zhi diao le!!
Me: WOW that was really professionally said! Say "card" again..?
Ben: Not really... professional. Just... interesting.
Now that I think about it, yea. You can't say the card eats another card, can you? Cuz that's just impossible. But I thought it was one of those metaphorical simile things like "the bitterness ate slowly away at her heart" kinda things. But I guess it doesn't work for Chinese huh?
There was something else I wanted to blog. Really. I can't remember. ARGH WHY do I forget things SO fast??? I just had this dream last night and it was a really stupid but stressful dream and I remembered every detail of it even a few hours after I woke up but just a few hours later and every trace of memory I had of it VANISHED. I can't really be THAT forgetful, can I? I mean.. it's like. Memento.
Mmm... love Memento. Liz rec'd it to me a couple of years ago. Fantastic show. Makes me sad after watching it cuz it was fantastically sad, which made me happy cuz of the sadness. <__<
AHHH the blog turned out SO DAMN LONG. And I thought I didnt have enough entry material. GAH after all that event-remembering too... GAH.
...Hopefully no one who knows the SQ guys ever reads this. Ehehehz.... *thinks evil thoughts*
-
I don't know WHY I keep thinking about it recently but I really just feel like quoting Mainy: "Ok, I know it's really ditzy but it happened to me so many times... Have you ever walked around in the city and saw someone wearing the exact same clothes you got on, like everything, and think "OMG. How embarrassing! We're exactly the same!!" And then you realize that it was just your reflection? "
I laughed my ass off. Shermy you're a DOLL. |
