    32) Because I really wanna rec songs.

    Song recommendations for the music-deprived.
     
    So here's my current favs list:
     

     1) Daddy Yankee - Rompe  [Album: Barrio Fino En Directo]

    Not that I understand 90% of what the song's all about. But it's a very clubby mix, and I wouldn't say the song is beautiful or pleasant to the ear, but it's most definitely catchy with a beat that gets you hitting the floor. The DJ must be pretty talented, and I DO have a thing for èspanol rap. The track is relatively unique, certainly not something you get to hear much of. The MTV was nice too. The girls are so... agile. They danced great and the BG settings were pretty too and- Ok this ain't an MTV rec so I'll stop.

     
     2) Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Record On  [Album: Corinne Bailey Rae]
    Heard this one on one of Joy's CD in her car first and I promptly fell in love with it and forced her to give me its details.Then I decided maybe I should start listening to the radio more and it was then I realized this song was ON ALL THE TIME. It surprised me that the track slid into the top charts so smoothly as I had thought it's style wasn't really everyone's cup of tea - it reminded me so much of something Macy Gray you see. But hey, I fully support its popularity. The song doesn't really seem to have much meaning to it. But you get the gist of encouragement and relaxation. On of those songs you listen to while chilling on your balcony in the sun with an Irish Bailey (AHAHA my apologies.. stupid pun..) in one hand and a book in the other.
     
     3) Janet Jackson - Someone to Call My Lover  [Album: All For You]
    YES I know this song is O-L-D. But I watched the MTV not long ago and I started remembering the times I used to just hear a little of the song and not think much about it and switching radio stations like the idiot I still am used to be. Unappreciative lil' me. But I heard it again and thought OMG it really IS nice huh? And so here I am reccing it. Beautiful pre-chorus and chorus, with great stanzas that fitted perfectly, not to mention J Jackson has the nicest mellow voice ever. It's my driving track - it's blasting everytime I'm in the car at the moment.
     
     4) Nickelback - Savin' Me  [Album: All The Right Reasons]
    OH just BEAUTIFUL words this song possessed. Just the way the first stanza started kinda makes your eyes go blurry with awe. The sytax cries magnificence and the passion it was sang with heightens the emotions flowing out from the track. Implausible guitar plucking and the song carried so much meaning like a call for salvation of some kind. Just an amazing track that seems to belong somewhere in the middle of a hero movie or something. I let my speculations carry me away.
     
     5) Linkin Park - My December  [Album: One Step Closer]
    Stole this song off Joy too. Didn't take me long into the song before I caved and fell into deep sweet love with it because it's just the type of music I am indelibly drawn to. The chorus is absolutely incredible. So great that even the word beautiful doesn't quite cut it. The piano along with some intruments, no matter how digitally created, were so perfectly paced so the song sounds mystical and almost surreal. The singing and small bits of slow rap were done very impressively. Chester Bennington (He's the singer, yes?) has an amazing voice AND harmonization (with himself o.o YES really they do it digitally now my friends..) that flowed so perfectly with the song and made it sound SO good. Shinoda's rapping totally enhances the depression emitted from the lyrics. The track has beautiful syntax and the words composing it was just so flowery and SO SQUEE-worthy -  it gives the impression of something sad and an utter feeling of lost. The meaning of the song is vague but it IS there so just listen to it and figure it out for yourself. ♥
     
     6) Eminem - Shake That  [Album: Shake That]
    OK I know this song is dodgy and ert, but you have to admit, the song IS FUNNY. I mean, "..and I get more ass than a toilet seat"?? It was HILARIOUS. And the song actually sounds good! The pacing and the different tune/style each stanza had was fitted together so nicely and a masterpiece was created. Not to mention that you can't deny the fact that Shady pWnz rapping. And the voice that sang the chorus and some stanzas was SO HOT. I'm not too sure if it's Nate Dogg with two very distinct voices but whatever it was, it was H-O-T. A catchy beat that definitely gets the head boppin, ignore the smut (if you feel inclined to) and it'll sound good. ^__^
     
     7) N'sync & Gloria Estefan - Music of My Heart
    Oh what an old but superbly beautiful song. Full of hope, inspiration and luurrrve. Definitely the kind of song N'sync would excel at. So aside from the usual self-satisfying cheesiness everyone knows deep down inside they LOVE, the thing about this song that makes it stand out is the way it's sung. JC and Justin are the experts when it comes to pouring their potentials out through music, and of course it shows in this track too. First time I listened to it though, I was wondering "Hey just WHERE does Estefan enter the scene anyway??" and even up till the end I didn't hear her sing. Then I listened to it again and realized that the second stanza where I thought Chris was singing was actually her... O_O But anyway. Very nicely sang song. The chorus is expecially stunning. Go listen.
     

     8) Shakira ft. Wyclef Jean - Hips Don't Lie  [Album: Oral Fixation Vol 2]

    Didn't I mention that fondness for Spanish? Wow talk about a festive tune. A very "daytime" kinda song - very bright and colorful, very spanish. I particularly love the first stanza. Cuz the guy's voice is sexy. And Shakira has a sexy voice too. Not to mention she danced so well in the MTV.. Her hips almost seemed disjointed or something and GOSH she has the nicest body. She looked particularly good in that MTV too, as a few other people have also pointed out. Definitely a beat that almost forces you to dance to it.. So go on then. ^^

     

    Private Emotion, Pt. 1 9) Ricky Martin & Meja - Private Emotion  [Single: Private Emotion]

    Contemporary pop at its greatest. Sung SO well and the harmonization was wonderful. An almost magical feel to it cuz of all the words that were used to piece the sentences together. Another wholesome clean cheesey song we all love. Yea so it's an old song too but I don't think it'll dulled yet. Ricky and Meja both have great voices so shove them together and you get this great work of musical art. I quote: "Come to me..."

     

     10) Chris Brown - Ain't No Way (You Won't Love Me)  [Album: Chris Brown]

    Yea it SOUNDS like a "No way I gon love you no more bitch" kinda song but really, it's the opposite - "Ain't no way I'm gonna let you down" more like. Ilyia (a.k.a Princess Leeya) rec'd it to me and damn I can't be any happier. We already know Chris Brown has an uber cute voice so I won't bother saying much about it. But the song, oh the song, the pre-chorus was the one that hit the spot for me. And then followed by the chorus.. GAH it was brilliant. But I stress: PRE-CHORUS.

     

     

    EHH. Wanted to rec MORE songs but I realized I just hit 10 and that'd be enough. Maybe I'll continue in my next entry. Otherwise the entry - despite the small img sizes - turns out to be another download killer.

     

    ~Ciao.

    31) ASIA Quiz Event wit the Shaggerz and a Random 4th Year..

    Okay I know it's late but I thought it's about time I blogged about the ASIA Quiz night at UWA Mainyy invited me to - with her girls from Shags (St. Hilda's Anglican Girl's School).. Was a fun night and I itch to blog... Just gotta wait till my dear Toxic sends pics over.. Great to have such a devoted caring wife. Doing all these things I told her not to worry about...
     
    Toxic = Mainyy
    autism rocks = me

    őX!ċ^|**- mainy.blogspot.com says:

    what to doooOO.

     
     
    I bet you men are jealous. She's hot AND functional. ^__~
     
     
    Ok ok.. Got the pics.
     
    Our quiz team was called Shaggerz in da Hood, consisting of homie-wannabe members: Lil Chou Wow, Shermagod, Chi-unit, Yozz-dogg, Hot-dogg  <__<; and me, Saminem.
     
     
     
     
    It was a GAME. Really. You're supposed to get the orange from under one person's chin to the other's. Our team had Chi-unit and Yozz-dogg going at it first (boys stop drooling.. -_-) while Lil' Chou Wow waits patiently...
     
     
    And she finally gets her go. AHAHAHA... No really, it's a GAME. Honest.
     
    But me and Mainyy didn't do this one in fear we may suddenly lose control and ditch the orange cuz we have better things to do than pass the damn thing around....
     
    I'm joking guys. It's a JOKE. *ahem*
     
     
     
    SO DAMN COOL. Umn. Not. The. Baby... Cuz that one's just disturbing. Cool is Shinigami!ROB!! In a BLEACH UNIFORM!! It even says 10th division at the back!!! HE IS MATSUMOTO!!!!!!!! Jk jk.. he claims to be Hitsugaya... but Hitsugaya's too damn cute. HAHAHA...
     
     
    We started to get hungry so they told me to cut the Hot-dogg up so we could share her..
     
     
    Look!! I'm a Samurai!! SAMurai!! Gettit? Gettit? SAM? SAMurai???
     
    <__<;
     
     
    So the aim of the game was to find the gum in the plate of cream...
     
     
    Mainyy covered in cream is a yummy-looking Mainyy... ^__~~
    Believe it or not, it was the Toxic who lasted the longest throughout most of the games.. including the *gasp* BURST-THE-BALLOONS-BY-STEPPING-ON-EM GAME!!! I watched proudly as I got kicked out in every first round.. ^___^ *beams*
     
     
    Anyhooz.. The quiz had all these strange questions... strange but smart-GK-kinda-smart questions.. They had  different catergories of questions:
    Chi-unit filled in all the entertainment ones, even some sports ones.. 
    Sherlz filled in the FOOD ones.. (as expected.. her forte you see..)
    Mainyy filled in all the *ahem* SEX ones.. (HER forte..)
    The other two filled in all the blanks in the other catergories...
     
    All in all I was pretty much useless and kinda sat there offering no help whatsoever. The only question I could answer was in the entertainment section, Q1: At the end of Finding Nemo, what was the last thing Dory called Nemo?
    a) Elmo
    b) Bingo
    c) Enjo
    d) Nemo - she got it right!
     
    Of ALL the lamest questions to know the answer to.
     
    But even then we got it wrong. Cuz we put (d) and only AFTER we handed it in, I suddenly went, "you know.. I think it could be (a)???"
    And (a) was the right one.
     
    So yea. I can officially be labelled useless.
     
     
     
    But yea, we won 3rd place in the end. Go da Hood..
     
    -
     
    This fat-finger syndrome is starting to irritate me. NO I'm not talking about actual fat fingers the way most of you probably assumed straight away since this is ME we're talking about. It's my damn NAILS dammit. Yea ok I KNOW it's my fault for keeping it long. But I LOVE painting nails pretty colors and I'm too damn lazy to cut them though I know I really should, considering I AM gonna start work tomorrow and they may get in the way.
     
    Took Joy's advice on the whole how-to-make-it-look-less-fake thing. You know it's really bugging me cuz when people think it's fake then it seems like I'm some kinda ah lian so desperate to look good that I'd go to the extent of buying fake nails and they probably think WuT j0o tryin' to prove woman?? And what annoys me more is when I offer to help out washing dishes at people's places or to work at some shop of someone's and they say "OoH I think you better not cuz your nails may BREAK" like I'm some incapable good-for-nuthin-female (shutt!! I'm NOT!! Ok maybe just a leeetle bit...) and they WON'T break cuz they're rock hard and I can kill someone with them if I really wanted to.
     
    But yea. I took the Spongey's advice, didn't put any stickers on, didn't put any shiney top coat, and so it's just nail polish alone, and I was just thinking "Hey they DO kinda look more real-ish... *marvels*" when my younger BROTHER who is bloody aware of all my previous nail designs with appearaces at their fakest, suddenly decided to choose that perfect time to say, "Aye are your nails FAKE?"
    And  then I promptly crashed my head on the table multiple times.
     
    BUT I shall assume that all females out there know a real nail when they see one. So I stress less.
     
    I wish I had bendy nails.. like Joy. Cuz u can BeNd it!! It's just SO DAMN COOL ya know. Go bend her nails!! It kinda folds in this really amazing way and-
     
    WHY am I talking about NAILS and bending them???
     
     
    But anyway. Did I mention? I got work. At Subiaco. Yogurt shop. In market place thing that opens from Fridays to Sundays. Shop belongs to my auntie's sis. I can FINALLY get money and...
     
    AYE WHY do you all look so damn surprised???

    30) Like-Flower-Like-Loser...

    I quite liked the 4th One Piece Movie.. Just when you think the fights couldn't get any better, they did. Ahh Sanji and Zoro... ~♥
     
    On to less important things... I'm actually getting a little worried about the whole uni thing. Been thinking it through and wondering if it was the right decision. Should I keep persuing Art when I KNOW that line of career ain't exactly the most profitable and not neccessarily fun? Or should I just stay back in Perth and do bloody science cuz we all know the world's gonna end soon and with all the infections and diseases comin' out the world IS gonna seek more scientist no matter how futile it's actually gonna be. BUT there will  be a greater demand for scientists.. cuz, c'mon, WHO wants most ARTS people in THIS lifetime? We already have enough of those overemotional dorks to deal with.. (Wait. Did I just call myself a... o_o) And yea, everyone already knows those cheesey philosophical lines like Be Yourself! and Do Whatever Your Heart Tells You!! but really, the chance of everything going horribly wrong IS still there and ARGH I wanna eat pasta. I'm not even hungry. -.-
     
    And I AM already aware of the possibilites of the ADM course (Art Design and Media - cuz Sherlz made it clear that not everyone knows what A-D-M means you loser you think everyone so smart hah??) not really turning out the way I'm expecting it to. I know it's gonna be a lot more irritating than I hope for, and most probably a lot more hectic. I know that. The thing that's troubling is how MUCH worse it's gonna be... What if I end up hating it?? Told myself I'll just come back to Perth and do that stupid science or maybe journalism if I stay lazy. *Hears the united voices of Perth chanting "hope she loves it hope she loves it.."*
     
    And what if I get HOMESICK?? Yea Ben already said campus life was fun with all those activites and stuff they got. And I heard you HAVE to join those activities if you wanna secure your stay in the hostel. NO!! I refuse to be forced into doing *shivers* EXERCISE of ANY sort!! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!!!!
     
    Ah well. I'll just watch more anime and I'll feel better. One Piece soothes my pains... *smiles stupidly*
     
    -
     
    On to even less important things... (jk.. really..) Went to FCC for church followed by Kalamunda (zat how you spell it??) for lunch wit Dorcas and the rest.. here's the list: Sharolyn, Jess, Paul, Sean, Ben, Cheryl, Jin and there was Keat, Nelly and Chiyenn whom we met at the BREST restaurant itself. Ahaha I crack up everytime I say the name.. But it was a long wait for food.. Jin got so hungry he even ate all the veges when it came. Yea, THAT long.
     
     
     
    Then we went to some Rose Garden place.. they put PETALS in your salad (I know cuz I've been there before..) You get to eat FLOWERS. How cool is that??
     
    <__<;;
     
    The list was down to Me, Dorcas, Sharolyn, Chiyenn, Keat, Nelly, Ben and Sean..
     
     
     
    Yea this entry's gonna be a download killer...
     
      Keat and Nelly and lil' JJ...
     
    Damn.. they look married already... XD
     
     
     
    Ok admittedly that thumb-pointing-at-the-pond thing Sean's doing.. It was I who told everyone to do it. And then when I noticed no one else was, I didn't too (ahh conforming me..) And so it ended up with Sean being the only one who did.. (ahahaha loseristic-non-conforming him...)
     
    Here's our Like-Flower-Like-Loser modelling exhibition.. Vote the biggest loser.
     
     
     
                       
    ^ Ben said something about the plant.. "Wah. Want to relax, don't relax until die right?"  AHAHAHazz...
     
    I try to be seductive but it just doesn't work. Joshie still keeps running away from me. He looks so horrified when he does too...
     
                   
                                                                                          ^   MAHAHAHA... ^
     
     
    And then Dorcas was trying to do some Marilyn Monroe thing that didn't really work out right next to a rose bush..
     
                  
     
                                                 The other bush got jealous and  wasn't too happy about it..
     
    Fret not Mainyy my darling.. Despite how the picture looks, I honestly wasn't doing anything indecent to/with Dorcas while you weren't around. The bush just started to like Dorcy so much that it wouldn't let go and I had to make it.
    I bribed it with fertilizers.
     
    Here's proof:                              
                                                                                          
     
     
    And then me and Dorcas proceeded to take another memory of our loseristicness via picture.
     
     
    NO. I am not mad and sitting on a nail. NO Dorcas ain't mad and trying to strangle herself.
     
    We are COLD. AcTiNg cold... cuz you know, Iceberg?? Get it?? ICEBERG = COLD..? GETTIT????
     
    Argh.

    29) PRADA BABY!!!

    I just bought a Prada bag. A pretty pretty Prada bag. He was bought at $1200.
     
    Ok, omission of detail IS lying as well, so I guess I'll just give the rest of the story as well.
     
    The RICH person who bought it passed it to a friend to sell and so the NOT-RICH me came across it and quickly grabbed it at a mere $200.
     
    BUT that doesn't make my Prada baby any cheaper than he is!! Ok, maybe he IS a grand cheaper, BUT in my heart, he will always be $1200. ^_____^♥
     
     
    Yea daz my Prada baby. I'll be sure to carry him brand-tag side out - To maximize the show-off-ness... Cuz I hardly have stuff to show-off with. So you know, grab the opportunity while it's there, ehh??? Eheheheez~...
     
     
    I actually got him at my mom's friend's place (Auntie Swee Hong). She was selling off some of her beloved vintage bag collection and so me and my mom went to take  look.
     
    I quote myself: "Yea let's just go then. It's not like I'll buy anything. Definitely NoT.
     
    And then Prada was inrtoduced to the family. ^__^ Ignore the fact that he was the only one NOT in the vintage collection.
     
    BUT back to the story, my mom found this bag she liked a lot. It was fluffy. Like, a fluffy bag. Quite cute actually, and I commented wanting a pet like it, which kinda gave my mom ideas and she started calling it Fluffy.
     
    Ok, I did the comic manga style. Meaning you tend to read from right to left, if you correctly remember the previous entry where I numbered the boxes to give you an idea.. So yea, start from the top right box, then the box on it's left, then the box on the right under it, and so on..
     
    It really happened. I was... speechless after.
     
    We were just leaving, and me and Auntie Swee Hong were just talking about inconspicuously carrying TWO bags (one other and your own) out of the house and that if you wanted to steal a bag, why take one? Grab TWO so just try to look natural like you've always  carried three bags around at all times . And then we heard this noise in the background and we turned and saw my mom talking to Fluffy..
     
    Mom: Bye Fluffy.. I'll miss you! I may come back and buy you ok? So sit here and wait for me...
    Me and Auntie: O__O;;;
    Me: Err.. Mom is SO weird. At least I don't do strange things like talk to inanimate objects... Ain't that right Prada?? *pats it and walks out the house*
     
    I was being an idiot. Didn't take much effort. ^_^
     
    -
     
    I plan to start working. Like, for REAL. Cuz I realized I want a camera. And my current camera is being used by Jess. And it's scary cuz she borrows things from me and she borrows them for such a long period of time that it pretty much BECOMES hers. And it's happened for so many of my belongings already!! It almost happened to my MP3 player and I had to snatch it back in time before she fully got a hold of it!!! And the camera thing is scaring me cuz I KNOW it's slowly becoming HERS (something about taking pics of dead mice in her lab o_o?) when it was a present for ME and it's all so stessful so I'm thinking of buying a new cam for myself and just letting her HAVE the damn thing..
     
    And I wanted a vintage clutch bag - pink croc skin!! SoooO pretty!!!
     
    Which means I gotta work. *sigh*

    28) Fuzzy Logic's 21st B'day Bash..

     
    My mom keeps telling me to change my previous stories about her. She said she did the sock thing but not the skirt thing (someone else did it and she just went along with it -_-;) and she said that the crush thing was SO not a crush cuz she wasn't mad about him to that extent and it never went on for more than a few months so how dare her friends exaggerate.
     
    Which makes you think.. My MOM reads my BLOG??
     
    ARGH OMG. She said that I used "damn" and "shit" too much. -__-''' HOW on earth does she get to read it?? She said it's when she hears Jess laughing at the computer so she in all her kaypoh-ness wants to check it out and then she reads it all. I mean, at least I report to her what I blog about her, but if this continues.. the whole mom-reads-my-blog thing.. ARGHHH...
     
    WHY is JESSICA reading my blog anyway?? It's almost the same as my MOM reading my blog (believe me). I KNOW there are some erty people out there who ALWAYS tell Jess about my blog content and so she'd check it out making my MOM do it too. ARGHH my sis reads my blog OMG NO.
     
    Ok I bet she'd read this too. Omg peepz PLEASE stop reporting everything you read to the sister cuz it only makes her wanna read it and I cannot allow it!!! Jess already thinks I'm dodgey enough so if she gets to read about my TRUE exploits in the world I am DOOMED.
     
    Blogging suddenly becomes very limited. I hate restrictions. I think at this rate the entries will shrink. Ergh.
     
    -
     
    Sherl's 21st birthday party was on saturday night, a chocolate/champagne cocktail party. I thought the whole thing was pretty cool and all and I feel like putting pics up. ARgh Ok brb cuz I'm gonna find some pics. The Fuzzy Logic gave me the links to her pics and so I just gotta go find em..
     
    Hahaha... the birthday girl had wine dumped on her...
    Happy Birthday Fuzzy Logic. ^__^♥
     
     
    Check out Gavin's pimp shot.
    Too bad he's surrounded by three IDIOTS. A blonde, a bimbo, and an ah lian. Fantastic combination, ain't it?
     
     
    Wow. First blog entry with PICS on it. Pics of REAL LIVE people.
     
    ..Err... My mom's singing "Be to our God forever and ever" in some kinda chipmunk-on-helium voice at the moment.. Err.... <__<;;

    After days of going out shopping (more?? In PERTH?? Believe it..) and hanging with friends ever since I was back from Sg, don't go thinking I haven't been getting my daily dose of anime. Just cuz I don't blog about it don't mean I ain't watching it. XD
     
    One Piece is my love. I haven't gotten sick of it and I never will. I'd have thought that I would sO get over such relatively-unadvanced animation, but the story just sucked me in ever since the beginning and never released me. So I guess I can safely say I'm obsessed. For some reason my head wouldn't let me fanfic it but oh well, at least there ARE others out there who write enough of it for me to gobble up till satisfied.
     
    ES21's been eating at my heart too. It's got so much batshit humor and it totally cracks me up. Doesn't surprise anyone that dumb things attract dumb people. But this reminds me, I'm supposed to pass it to Jap and she's supposed to pass me HxH... o__o Ack.
    A little snippet of a page in Chpt 104 that so seriously cracked me up..
     
    [So the thing is American Football and the Devil Bats' opposition team is called the Yuuhi Guts, which have original players that aren't playing in the match cuz they just plain suck no matter how hard they try, and so the coach had got star aces of the school's other sport teams like basketball and soccer to join the American Football team so they could win at least ONE game so the club could keep going. Number 80 (monta) and 21 (sena) are from the Devil Bats team.]
     
    I've numbered the boxes for the non-manga readers..
     
     
     
    AHAHAHAHAHAA!!!
     
    ... What?? Well I found it funny... *sniff*
     
     
    And a new manga to add to my collection. I'll. No, that's it. It's called I'll. I'll - Generation Basket. I found the Basketball series very nice.. sorta like Slam Dunk (which is where MVP qing rhen - the horrible chinese drama series - ripped the story off).
     
    GEH I *HEARTS* manga!! I feel so happy everytime I read it. It's like eating chocolate. Sooo~ happy...

    27) I'm In..

    I got a letter from NTU just yesterday. I'm in. Accepted, I mean. And I feel kinda impartial about it too. Like.. MEh and that was it. Is that normal? I actually feel kinda sad. Like, bye people-I-know-so-well and hello strangers-shit-I-gotta-make-friends-wit-some-of-y'all-now..
     
    The thing was I actually lost a bit of hope when I went to Becca's cell.. one of the girls told me she used to go to NTU, and about the ADM course I'm applying for, there was a LOT of participants going for it. Like, A LOT. ANd I went T___T. And she saw that and quickly said "Oh, but Singaporeans aren't known for being creative and artistic. More academic." And I thought HEY daz cool.. and then I realized I WAS Singaporean TOO and so I still went T___T.
     
    But I'm in. And so daz good. And the letter they sent said something about them having been very selective so that kinda boosted my confidence somewhat.. Unless they just trying to be nice and friendly..? But anyway, now I just need to make more friends. ARGH I hate making friends. Ooh did I just say that? But you see, me and Joi joi agreed on this already about making friends - the results are fun but the process is tedious.
     
    But yea.. I may be going back somewhere in July cuz matriculation starts 7th August. And my parents wanna go to Kuantan or something for holiday, so they be taggin along this time. ^^
     
    -
     
    I actually told myself before going to Sg that I'll be travelling light so don't buy too many things back. EHH did THAT plan sure go wrong. Bought all these clothes and then all those damn earrings. Twenty-effin-two pairs excluding gifts.. I think it's that damn Nets card. Usually the fact that you haven't got any cash left kinda stops you from spending anymore, but cuz of that DAMN CASHCARD I could just swipe and that was it. *sigh*
     
    Had to go and remodel my entire earring stand. I need a BIGGER BOARD. Like.. Sherlz's...
     
    I need more money. Meaning I need to work. I need a JOB. But WHERE in Singapore can I pick mushrooms???? o__o
     
    No. I need more glam jobs.. Like working at Guess or something. Mmm.. Guess bags... *fantasizes*
     
    Thinking about Sg.. just the day before my flight, was out with Julz and Jasmine (lamp-post YEAA) and there was this table behind us full of some guys and turned out they were actually a whole bunch of butches, Jasmine said. Haha... Bunch of butches... that sounded funny. But anyway. I wanted to look cuz I'm SO damn kaypoh but if I did, they may think I'm trying to dao them or something and may call more butch friends to come up to me and say "Kuah si mi???" and bash me up or something. I fear razor blades. But I asked Jasmine if any of them were good looking and she said NO not this bunch so I guess they ain't worth lookin at.
     
    Argh I'm so mean.
     
    Why am I checking out butches anyway?? Err... <__< *refrains from saying anything socially unacceptable*
     
    -
     
    I think Shermy IS right. Dads ARE going through some kinda mid-life-crisis thing... My dad was just walking around the house the entire evening yesterday saying, "Who took my dental tape?? Who took it??" And he kept walking and walking around the entire house and I just kinda sat there watching him do so. And then a few minutes later he walked by again looking around, and then said again, "Who took my dental tape??" in this really strange robotic bug-like sorta voice. And I just sorta stared at him more and began wondering what kinda drug they put in that thing. And so I kinda felt sorry for him and decided to help him out..
     
    Me: Ok dad, I think you're like trying to hint at me to or something but I'LL HELP YOU find your dental floss, okay??
    The Father: Dental TAPE!!
    Me: O__O Well SOooRRY~~! I'll help you find your dental TAPE then.. Sheesh..
    The Father: Good. *sits down and shakes his legs*
    Me: ERGHH??
     
    Father is strange. Kinda like mother, who was fiddling around with an alarm clock 2am in the morning behind me while I was at the computer and it suddenly went off and she started panicking at went "SSHHHhhhh!!" at it while fumbling around trying to turn it off. I informed her that the clock probably couldn't hear her and even if it did, couldn't understand her, and even if it did, couldn't respond accordingly. She just told me to shoosh too and not to blog it.
     
    But I did. Just cuz she told me not to. I'm a rebellious child you see. And it was funny. ^__^
     
    -
     
    Jess keeps telling me that people she chat with keep telling her they think she is me. And that she's starting to sound a lot like me. I'm getting annoyed cuz that means I'm not unique anymore. *cries a conventional cry* Jess said it just means she's sounding dumber. I laughed at her first cuz she said she was sounding dumber and it took me a while before I realized it was an insult to ME. Then I clamped up. And I told her to stop reading my blog cuz sometimes it's cuz the dumbness and my style may be rubbing off on her.
     
    Moral of the story: Just be yourself...
     
    Gah that was cheesey.. O__<

    26) My 2 weeks in Sg - Part 3

    Woke up at fricken 6am this morning. No I don't know why. I think it was this very loud storm this morn that woke me up. It was SO damn loud. And then I heard this strange splatty sound and I wonder just wtf was wrong with the air con and why was it making weird noises, and then a little brain cell kicks my temple and tells me it's just the rain outside. You know, have you ever seen lightning and KNOW thunder is coming but it scares you anyway? Like when I had my eyes closed the thunder meant nothing to me but once I actually saw lightning and knew the thunder was coming, it actually shocked me. I don't get how it works. I thought you won't get taken by surprise if you're actually expecting it. But for some reason it scared me worse than when I don't see it coming. Sorta like you watch a scary movie and when it's the second time you watch it, you know the scary bit's gonna come soon and so you close your eyes and ears.. Ok I don't do that but I know people who do. HAHAha...
     
    Eh. Digressed.
     
    Anyway.. The thunder was SO loud and I kinda got hungry all of a sudden cuz for some stupid reason I associate thunder with tummy growling and so I felt a little awake and then my brain very abruptly kicked in and started thinking of BLOG material and what to write and how to do it and stuff and I just NEEDED a computer or something. And I suddenly had a writer's flood cuz I got up and started writing a story and omg I'm so messed up. I hate it when the brain refuses to switch off especially when you know you NEED sleep and you should be sleeping that very moment so WHY are you writing a story at 6 in the morning?
     
    Anyway.. Was washing my hands in the toilet and there was this clear apple-scented liquid soap that was colored red and I KNEW it was soap too but for some stupidly DUMB reason I suddenly panicked and wonder OMG why is there so much blood on my hands?? Where the hell am I bleeding from? Oh shit shit shit... And then I remembered.. Oh yea. Soap. Geh. BUT the excuse was that it was 6:35am in the morning and I am NOT a morning person. In fact, I may be the only person that looks out the window at 9am and wonder aloud, "WHY is it SO DAMN BRIGHT NOW??"
     
    And then I dried my hands on my pants and then I looked down the next second at my wet pants and think OH GAWD did I wet myself? WTF How on earth? Do people my age even do that anymore?? And then I remember OH YEA I just dried my hands on my pants... Daz right...
     
    NOT a morning person. NOT.
     
    -
     
    Moved over to my Godparent's place last Thursday 4th April. Their house is SO BIG. Like, I got lost a few times. I walk up one flight of stairs and I get lost. Then I walk back down and suddenly get lost again. And then I almost got lost in my ROOM alone. *sigh* But the house is so pretty...  So at least I got stuff to look at while I'm lost.. ain't half bad...
     
    Speaking of Godparents... was out with them looking for stuff my parents wanted me to buy back and they were talking about why they didn't have many mirrors around the house and it lead on to this:
     
    Godpa: Nothing nice to look at mah..
    Me: GODPA what about Godma??
    Godpa: We're both so ugly.. mirror for what?
    Godma: Aye, actually why we don't have mirror ah?
    Godpa: Aiyah.. so ugly, mirror for what?
    Me: GODPA! How do you explain WHY you married her then??
    Godpa: Not that I wanted to. I just had no other choice. We married each othr by default, not design.
    Me: AHAHA!! OMG Godpa's you ARE blind. Go get glasses.
     
    Bear in mind, they ARE joking. They love each other too much. HAHAHA!!
     
    -
     
    Was hanging out with Becca just yesterday, Friday that is, and went for her cell after. Met a few old faces.. most of them didn't know me. -__-; But it was pretty fun altogether.
     
    Becca told me that umbrellas were called Brollies in Sg. I thought Brella made more sense. But anyway, we were in CineLeisure going down the escalators when her Giordano Brolly fell down the steps. He (don't ask WHY we personified Brolly. But maybe he can make friends with Cloffie one day..) kinda sailed down very parallel to the slope, so his slide was pretty neat. You can just hear this thud thud thud as he made his way down. There was a couple just down there and the guy turned around in time to catch Brolly and prevent himself from getting stabbed in the back by an umbrella. The thing was that while Brolly fell, me and Becca yelled nothing short of a warning for the people below. We just kinda stood there and stared as Brolly slid down the escalator making repetitive Thud noises. The guy down there gave it back to us and all I could manage to say was, "Thanks for catching Brolly."
     
    And then we walked off like idiots.
     
    -
     
    This girl at a shop said I didn't look local. Much to my chagrin. She said I looked more.. Jap. Or Korean. I can't decide if that's a good thing or not. Cuz I kinda wanna look more Chinese than anything else. Japs and Koreans aren't exactly well-knowned for having some particular pretty physical characteristic. Quite the opposite, really. ARGH no offense. All I hear about are small eyes and blunt noses and all the stuff I DON'T want to have.
     
    Ok so I can safely decide it WASN'T a good thing.
     
    DAmn.
     
    And WHY does everyone think my nails are fake?? Pisses me OFF!! Cuz you know, after ALL the energy and time and concentration I spend on making my very real nails look as pretty as I can, and then someone asks me where I BUY them and all my hard work suddenly seems so commercialized. T__T
     
    -
     
    I think I am like, really REALLY dumb or something. (Ok WHY are some of you looking like you already knew this or something?) Like I joke about it and stuff, but I think that maybe I really AM. Cuz you know, just today, went shopping again, and I walked into this store and saw this shirt and I was like WOW PRETTY and went into a changeroom to try it out and everything, saying that I wanted the gray one cuz I had a shirt I bought a few days ago very similar to it but brown in color, and then I came out, told the salesgirl I wanted it, and then I paid for it, NETS and all. And then on my way home, thinking about it, I realize that O.M.G. the shirt I just bought is like, the EXACT same one as the BROWN one I already bought last time. From the EXACT SAME SHOP. I felt SO damn stupid. So now I have two of the same shirts of different colors. I think I wanna sell one in Aust. The gray one. It's going at AU$40. Tell your friends everyone.

    My flight is tomorrow. I be going to bed now.

    25) My 2 weeks in Sg - Part 2

    AHHHH there are stupid mosquitoes flying around me and stealing my precious blood. I WILL NOT LET THEM!!! *claps around like an idiot* Ehh.. the dog's looking at me like I'm retarded. I keep telling the mozzies that my blood tastes really bad but I think they're starving or something cuz they don't really care and they still keep STABBING ME!!
     
    So like, I went out with my Godparents just last sunday after church for lunch. My Godparents are SO strange. HAHAHA good... I'll get along with them just fine then. XD They were bringing me and my cousin Kyna to some restaurant and in their hot black BMW, my Godfather very suddenly piped up,
     
    Godpa: Aye... so there's kimberly (my younger cousin, Kyna's sis)... and this one here is...?
    Kyna: Kyna.
    Godpa: OH yea that's right that's right. Then where's Tina?
    Me: O__O Tina?
    Godpa: Yea... I thought there was a Tina?
    Kyna: Don't have one mah...
    Godpa: Aye? But I thought I heard her name last time?
    Me: You mean Kyna?? Cuz the names kinda sound alike..
    Godpa: Really?
    Me: Well then WHO's Tina???
    Godpa: Exactly!! I don't know!!
     
    OMG that was SUCH an aimless conversation. I laughed my ass off. Strange how things that mean nothing in life impact me the greatest. I need to be DEEP.
     
    We drove around for about an hour before my Godfather suddenly asked my Godmother,
     
    Godpa: Aye, how to go ah?? 
    Godma: I donno. I thought YOU know??
    Godpa: No I don't...
    Godma: Then why you chiong around like you know how to go???
    Godpa: Because I thought I know... Now I see... I actually don't know.
     
    All of us HAD to crash our heads onto something hard. And I thought a commercial pilot needed some basic directional sense... o__o
     
    Well, we got there in the end, and they dragged us into some really expensive Japanese restaurant, and my God dad picked up a menu and started flipping through it very casually. Then he brought the menu as far from his eyes as he could, then he squinted, then he finally chucked the menu at my Godmother and said, "Ahh. Give up. You order something."
     
    Me: Godpa... you can't read the menu?
    Godpa: Nope. The whole thing is just blurred. Can't see a thing.
    Me: Do you have glasses??
    Godpa: Don't have.
    Me: Why don't you get a pair then??
    Godpa: Don't want!
    Kyna: O_O Wah lau... then just now he driving the car...
    Me: OMG you're right. And we were in it for over an hour too... O__O;;
     
    We were halfway eating the REALLY good jap food when the topic of my cousin's upcoming exam came about.
     
    Godma: How many more papers do you have to sit?
    Kyna: 8 more.
    Godma: o_o Then how many have you already done?
    Kyna: 7.
    Godma: O_O How come so many??
    Kyna: Oh, some of the subjects are split into two papers...
    Godma: Oh I see... So what have you got next?
    Kyna: Geography and Lit. Wah lau.. Geography is my worse subject leh...
    Godpa: Me too! I always failed geography.
    Me: EH?? Godpa, isn't geography like, the most important knowledge a pilot should have??
    Godpa: I don't know.. I don't think so... But Lit... I'm quite good at Lit. Used to score man...
    Me: *sigh*And Lit is like... the most useless one for a pilot... -.-'''
    Kyna: Then after that got Physics and Maths...
    Godpa: Oh yah.. I failed Physics and Maths too... all my worse subjects..
    Me: G-godpa... Physics and Maths are pretty important for pilots too... -__-;;; You know, this really explains WHY we were driving around for over an hour just now.
     
    And then it hit me. OMG I am going to be flying back to Perth on HIS PLANE this Sunday. A Godfather with bad eyesight and no geographical skills and NO sense of direction whatsoever and armed only with some knowledge in ENGLISH LITERATURE. omg.
     
    Kyna: Then how you land the plane one??
    Godpa: Oh just look at the map, look out the window, and gauge roughly where the country is, and then when you see a long road with lights, just plonk the plane down.
    Me and Kyna: O__O Th-then what if it's the wrong country?
    Godpa: Then don't land lor.
     
    OMG he's flying MY PLANE. I am SO screwed. T__T
     
     
    Anyway. The mozzies are trying their hardest to suck me dry and I really must be off now. Shopping you see. ^__^ Ciaoz...
     
    ---
     
    It's 11:55pm now and I came back tonight to blog a little more cuz I probably won't do it tomorrow unless I somehow get the chance to.
     
    Went out and shopped more... but alone. And I hate shopping alone. Maybe I SHOULD have checked the phone directory up for Becca's number... But then I don't have a phone directory.
     
    But anyway.. I was approached by this really cute/pretty girl today and she asked me if I wanted to join her company for some commercial ad thing like in magazines and things. Mind you, it ain't a modeling agency, me thinks. (Oh puh-leeze... the day someone approaches me for modeling is the day Cloffy burns.. *plays with a match*) The girl said they were looking for people with a "different" look and somehow I got the feeling she was hinting that I looked weird enough to be displayed on advertisments for the sake of people's comic entertainment. I very quickly declined.. and then kinda regretted it when my mom's friends Auntie Teresa told me that you could get pretty good money from photoshoots. And I'm like, OMG MONEY?? DAMMIT!!
     
    WHY am I so money minded?? WHY am I willing to pose as an idiot just for a couple of hundred bucks?? Why am I so CHEAP??? <___<;;
     
    *dreams about the two hundred dollar bills*
     
    OMG I just realized Becca gave me her number... I see it at the bottom of this page where the comments are. HEHEHE. FRIDAY... you free girl??
     
     
    Anyhooz the main point I wanted to blog tonight was cuz I just went out for dinner with my mom's old friends.. She knew them ever since secondary school and I'm so amazed they're still a gang of girls up till now, children and all. Apparently I currently look a LOT like my mom when she was about my age and I just said I was going for the dinner tonight as my mom's past self and you know, they actually told me some aspects of my mannerism was a lot like my mom's too.. And I told them that yea I once looked into this picture album and saw all these photos of me and said, "Hey... I don't remember taking these..." and then my mom said, "Oh that's ME.." And I'm like O__O Really?
     
    And this gets me thinking... I can just die anytime I want now cuz I already know how I'm gonna look like when I'm older so what's the use of living any further?
     
    But yea, they told me SO many things about my mom that my mom never revealed to me... and I was laughing pretty hard. Mascara smeared. And I only started wearing mascara when I came to Singapore for these two weeks... I bought the XXL one Joi was pining about.. it ain't too bad. But I think there ARE better ones out there... I wanna try that other one which Joi said was good... and for the life of me I can never remember the name...
     
    Shite I digressed.
     
    Back to my mom, yea they told me that she was really "one kind" back then. There was once she told her mates to pull their socks right up to the knees and so that day there was this group of girls walking around the school like modern Jap students but this was like, decades ago, and only naturally, the principal told her off for introducing such a stupid thing and he told her to make it shorter. And then my mom was annoyed about being told off so she had another brilliant idea. The next day, she appeared in school wearing NO socks at all. The teachers nearly killed her. AHAHAHA... And another incident was when she was in a mood to have uber mini skirts and so she instructed her pals to roll their skirts up so it was mini-ish, and then obviously the teacher told her off. He actually made her undo the stitchings on the hems of her skirt to make it longer. Her being her, she appeared the next day with this ridiculously long skirt all the way down near her ankles and started waving at her friends from outside the classroom going "Hi~!!".
     
    One kind. She amazes me.
     
    It makes me think that if my teacher ever told me off  for having bangs that are too long, would I shave every strand off my entire head?? Ergh.. I may consider it but only very briefly.
     
    Oh!! One of the aunties had just finish reading The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom and I'm like, OMG I JUST read that not too long ago!! Good book yea???
     
    ...I don't know why I just brought that up. It just suddenly occurred to me.
     
    Oh yea!! I don't know if I'm allowed to blog this, but I just HAVE to say it cuz it was SO funny when I found out. Apparently one of the aunties told me that my mom used to have this big CRUSH on her older brother... And that he lived apart from the family back then so he only visited on Thursdays, and believe it or not, my mom was ALWAYS at her friend's place EVERY Thursday. Without fail. And he'd have dinner there and my mom would too and he'd leave at 7pm for the bus and so she'd leave too, and he'd take this particular bus number and she'd climb on too. And the auntie said that the thing was her brother was this naturally quiet guy who never talked much and so throughout every minute my mom was around this guy, they NEVER SPOKE A WORD. I found it SO hilarious... And this acually went on for a few years... OMG my mom may be madder than I am.. HAHAHA....
     
    Now I know where I got the weird genes from.. <__<
     
    It makes me wonder if in the future, me and my girls will all meet up every birthday or occassion just for some coffee, dinner or a chat, and remember the past and all our idiocy... Would be so cool.
     
    GIRLS, we MUST do it!!
     
     
    -
     
     
    The girls here are so skinny and the guys here are so short. I buy all these hats but will I ever use them?? ARGH there are SO few uneven shirts here in Singapore.. and the thing is that it's hard to find them anywhere else other THAN Singapore and you only get them after looking around in places like Heeren's Annex or Far East's basement or my favoritestestest shop ever Mù!!! I say "uneven" for lack of a better term to describe the kinda tops I go for. "Strange" sounds too abnormal while "special" sounds too retarded. And Guess bags are so hot. They have looks that can kill - lust and desire - but so do their prices - heart attacks.
     
     
    There was something else I wanted to blog about but I just CAN'T remember.. and I BETCHA it'll come to me after I shut the comp down and right before I go to sleep when I'm just too lazy to write it down somewhere so i'll probably forget it the next morning.
     
     
    I'm going to my Godparent's place tomorrow night. Don't know if I'll be able to find my way around from there.
     
    Ok.. I'm getting kinda tired now and the night had ben semi-long. Tata...
     
    P.S - I missed my DOG!! BLACKY!!! *hugs* He's still so scrawny... Like the Sg girls... o__O
