Sweetbox – 1000 words
I know that you're hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily
I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
And I was listening
You'll fight your battles far from me
Far too easily
"Save your tears 'cause I'll come back"
I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door
But still I swore to hide the pain when I turned back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart
But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart
Oh, a thousand words have never been spoken
They'll fly to you crossing over the time
And distance holding you suspended on silver wings
And a thousand words, one thousand confessions
Will cradle you making all the pain you feel seem far away
They'll hold you forever
The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I can't forget
I still relive that day
You've been there with me all the way
I still hear you say
"Wait for me I'll write you letters"
I can see how you can stand there with your eyes to the floor
But still I swore to hide the doubt when I turned back the pages
Anger might have been the answer
What if I hung my head and said that I couldn't wait
But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late
'Cause a thousand words called out through the ages
They'll fly to you even though we can't see
I know they're reaching you suspended on silver wings
Oh, a thousand words, one thousand embraces
Will cradle you making all of your weary days seem far away
They'll hold you forever
Oh, a thousand words have never been spoken
They'll fly to you, they'll carry you home
And back into my arms suspended on silver wings, ooh
And a thousand words called out through the ages
They'll cradle you, turning all of the loving into only days
They'll hold you forever
My dad bought back a big breakfast from mcd for me for breakfast today. I find mcd is nothing special anymore. It used to be a big event when you went to mcd when you were in lower primary. But now its sorta an everyday thing. Freedom changes things. Heh. So I spent the day playing gtavc instead of joining the others at suntec. I have decided to start a new game without cheats or trainers or mods or whatever. just a map and a guide to where the weapons are. I completed the missions till cortez in about 2 hours. I love starfish island. Like orange county and all. well anyway, I went to city hall and they were leaving suntec so I joined them to go to heeren.
Bleh. Gone with the wind special edition is out for like 90 at hmv and just 60 at borders. I never seen stuff cheaper at borders than at other places. Well, we ate at marche! Like my first time there. The deco is so nice! Full of wood so its like European café in Switzerland. The deco could be called woody or European. The kind I like. The food not bad too lor. The mushroom soup looked so good, but didn’t get to eat it. Rosti isn’t such a big deal after all. just baked potatoes cut into noodle-thin strips and served in a less-than-average sour cream. But the pizza was good. Pizaa’s always good. And the buns too. The cheese and custard buns were good. Haha. Then there was this jeff wang guy whos supposedly a Taiwan celeb. So we got his autograph! Like he got bad grammar! Thanks you and all. heh. He seems pretty nice lah.
Then we like went to far east to eat more stuff. Along the way we ate ice cream so we didn’t need to eat anymore, but having no place to go, the way was paved towards far east (far east very far leh – Amanda -_-“) well. We went to the KL shrine! Bleh. I got photos of it and the maia love nick thing and yh’s chrissypoo :) thing. Bleh. Nothing else lah, so those guys went home and I went to borders. Thanks mr tan for the dinner. Oh. And I got photos of a certain two. Haha. Borders rawk! But ex lah. Allow us to be frank is like 20 bucks there instead of 18. ok. Stuff to do tomorrow (or in the near future):
- get Ethernet cable cos I was too lasy to move my ass this afternoon
- write a poem called “I wrote an angsty poem” (because ive been meaning to do this since the hols started
- watch sky captain (thx yh!)
- post photos and write captions on the site yh used for her album cos I made an account there already
whee~

like sly sang that. *weep* It was a good song… there’s quite a story about it: http://songfacts.com/detail.lasso?id=1905
and uh, I wrote a poem.
Artificial World
This world isn’t what I knew it to be
Everything’s changed
It’s harder to live now
How can emotions be played
How can love be created
What happened to our dreams
Flowed out to the sea
Back to the world
Which we recognise
Is life just a process
Air, water, food, the ingredients
Of such a game called life
This isn’t the way it should be
It’s become an artificial world
omg. I’ll rewrite that when I got time. Anyway, went to play vball at around ama’s house today with Ama, Nick, Tristan and Vanessa. Whee~ I was really blur lah. Bleh. Too much gtavc. Then we went to white sands! Ama went off to tanah merah to meet someone (gasp.) haha. There was this woman who was like “im not forcing you to donate” but then kept saying that we should and stuff, and didn’t let us go. So like bleh she was real good and all. We ate at mcd, then played at the arcade. There was this guy who was like super super pro at ddr. He never miss a move. Full combo right till the end. And he wasnt playing basic level, he was playing MANIAC. wtf. Oh well. Some people are just born dancers. Then we played ggxx! Nick chose ky for me, so I had no choice. I lost duh. But it was a 2-1 thing. So not too bad. And I thought slash was heavy slash, and since my ggxx depends on hslash, it wasn’t too bad. Then I played with tristan and used ky because I thought I would try ky out. Then it turned out that the hslash didn’t work! Doomed from the start. Slash deals too little damage and all. But ky is super fast lor.
Haha, we went to vanessa’s house. We watched Singapore idol recaps and stuff. Haha. Sly sux! Nic and van, gotta say this. My current disp pic is so far one of the most well-loved ones I’ve ever had. Sorry lah. Heh. I dunno what I’ll do if sly wins. It would be utter shock. I read archie comics, then we went home. Hols starting to get boring again. But at least got vball and comp. Yay! Oh. And its coming to the end of the 4th week. Half the hols gone. Argh.

Well. Its here. My personal powerhouse. Most stuff opens in an instant, but I nearly screwed up the whole thing with some website and third-party installation while searching for cracks for gtavc. Oh. But gtavc runs so smooth. And the speakers so rock. I led a life without subwoofers before this. Now the explosions go boom. Cant comment on graphics yet. Gtavc’s graphics are pretty much low level for my graphics card. HL2/gtasa will test it. I spent most of the afternoon transferring what files and preferences I could (without Ethernet = small, diskette sized files) and playing gtavc. W00t. I need all my music files, movies and other stuff before I can get used to this comp. Its so empty with just 3 mp3s from winxp. Oh well. Dunno what ill do tomorrow. Maybe ill go buy an Ethernet card. Bleh.

Went to challenger. I think I should just install a Ethernet card into this (old) comp and just use a bloody lan cable. And the Ethernet card cost just 12 bucks. Well, my parents brought me for dinner at changi airport and I ate white wine clam pasta and corn with ham soup. Unique but yet delicious. Yup. Cant wait for tmr morn. Then maybe ill go out in the afternoon.

Blue: You live through your emotions, intense highs
and lows. Life, for you, is all about love -
giving love, getting love and sharing love.
Honesty is important to you, but sometimes it
is difficult to be honest if you think it may
hurt someone's feelings.
Blue is deflective. You turn attention away from
yourself to others and often neglect your own
needs.
Secret emotions: Suspicion and Sensitivity
What color is your aura?

whee~ I watched part 1 and the making of band of brothers today. Omg. I love band of brothers. Im at the start of part 2 now. This thing can keep a person occupied for days. Then I slept. Eds tomorrow! But it’ll be boring too. I should have gone and played vball today. Oh well. Im fking pissed with my parents because everytime they say they’ll get the comp delivery they break their promise. Its been about 3 months. On the way home from m’sia they said they’d get it tomorrow but now they have to get the air con repaired. And its like don’t tell me what to do and stuff. Argh. All the bullshit in the world.

Then we got to the hotel. Austin hills. Omg prime area. Its like actually a golf club and all. But the resort is like 5 star. It should be 6 star. Yup. Omg. The deco is seriously good. Eye candy everywhere. All the different sorts of colours and hues splashed across everything. The suite was like shiok too. Marble and pine/teak floor, deco everywhere. The toilet was the best I have ever seen. =S oh. And the view. Oh the view. There was only one window. And this was at the other side of the room from the door and spanned the whole wall on that side. And you could see for miles because nothing blocked the view because it was in the countryside, and situated on a hill. Bliss…
I just enjoyed the room, took a few photos of the countryside. Yeah, after a while I got used to it. We went for dinner in some crowded place at town which looked like a ripoff of geylang, without the sick stuff. heh. I bought pcgamer which is like rm9/$3.9. So w00t. yay. Went back, watched some tv, read first half of phantom tollbooth, and then fell asleep straight away.
The breakfast at the hotel was like below standard and all. I liked only the cereal and juice. The other stuff was just average. The view from the café is so nice. Got a few good shots before I left. Oh. And I took some shots of the artwork which is like everywhere. Abstract and simple. Heh. Lunch at the hakka place somewhere at the geylang lookalike. Then we went shopping at jusco. Which Played some badminton with timothy whos going to nus high. Which I think is really gay because you have to fall back to year 1 if you fail or something. Heh. My badminton quite ok lah. Heh. I like vball better tho. Well, we played billiard.
I had dinner in the hotel room, like room service and all. Mushroom soup and soft-shelled crab. The crab wasn’t as good as sakae sushi one, but quite ok. W00t. all the children came to my room and we were watching fellowship of the ring (which was low quality and all because the hotel movie channel used the vcds and everything a disc was changed there would be a long pause and it was like all lagging and stuff at the end) then we watched Austin powers on channel 5. like yay because we still can watch Singapore tv and listen to perfect 10 at full quality. I brought a part of sgp with me. Omg. Austin powers is SO hilarious. Like wtf sausage rocket. I nearly got angsty when I was about to sleep. I wrote a poem and stuff. oh well. I was missing someone real bad. But nvm.the bed was damn comfortable, so I fell asleep soon after.
This morn was ok. Routine breakfast, took photos everywhere. Then we got packing, I took a final look at the room and then we were off. After lunch, it was a smooth short trip home, 10 minutes from first causeway. I never knew the first causeway was like directly beside the town centre. second link is so much nicer because it leads to the countryside. The others went to shop at holiday inn (in which I spent one day drawing stuff long ago) so we were going home alone (omg pun) I unpacked my stuff then fell asleep. Yay.
Im starting to go mad. Yup. If I think for too long my thoughts get all confused and I keep thinking about the same thing while wanting to think about other stuff and suddenly its all just killing me. Its like theres this urge to like make everything perfect and all. And I just cant stop thinking about my friends. But after I sleep everything will be ok. Omg. Im going mad.

Anyway, I sat at mcd for a few minutes before cindy and jie xin came. Haha we went to ezone and played air hockey. The air hockey thing had no air expelling from those weird holes, so it was harder to move the pucks. I lost to the both of them by two. So sad lor. No fast moves. Argh. Hate ezone. Haha we went to pizza hut for lunch! ama, Tristan and Vanessa came too. Like so seh lor. Eat at pizza hut. And I love love love baked cheese. Super nice. The best is the stuffed crust cheese thing. And the soup’s nice too! Oh. And pizza is real cheap in m’sia. Ilike half the price in sgp or smthg. I’ll go there and eat pizza. Whee~
Then jie xin and ama left, so the 4 of us went to watch the incredibles! So seh! Wah lao. Like so many people in the movie got super powers. Not super anymore. But that fanboy guy is super smart lor. Haha. Jack jack is sooooo cute! Whee~ rant about incredibles. Oh. Violet is like angst and goth. But she’s quite chio lah and seh too with the forcefield thing and stuff. they all got fast reflexes lah. Admire that. Frozon not bad too lor. Shoot ice everywhere. Omg. The freezing of the bullet was so cool. Ahhhhh rant. When we were done, we went to vanessa’s house and Tristan played some hobbo hotel thing. Its quite crappo lah, but you get to see lots of scandalous stuff.
Oh I want to rant about Singapore idol. Sylvester sucks. Sly SUCKS. Olinda should win lah. Taufik not bad too. But Sylvester should so not be in. argh. He looks so gay. And he ruined the music of the night. (Mun yi must be freaking out now). Argh. Singapore idol is so screwed up.

This week will definitely be one of the most prominent weeks in the whole of these hols. Class chalet! So rocked lor. Split into 3 parts for 3 days.
Tuesday. 16 nov
Everyone met at white sands at 12. some went to mcd for lunch, most went down to buy bbq ingredients and other chalet stuff. we spent $135+ on this first major shopping trip. My dad came to bring me to immigration at safra tamp so the others headed off to costa sands first. Went there, renewed my passport for Saturday’s trip to some golf resort in johor (maybe I should have chosen perth instead), had a light lunch with my dad. Omg. The cheese sandwiches there are real good. Except they include lots of butter and are rather expensive. (5.50 for 4)
my dad drove to costa sands, checked us in into the chalet, and gave his retarded speech about not assuming stuff. (although this has come in useful sometimes) some people started playing mahjong, the ps2 and xbox were started up with ddr and halo2 respectively. Haha, I played ddr. 2nd time lor. After the 3rd try I could pass some of the easier levels. Although I really suck at ddr and I wont be playing it for a long time. Oh. Me and yiwei also started a game of pokemon gold on sb’s gbc. W00t. it went quite fast lah. Super-training! I took over form yiwei at level 10. it starts to get hard to train pokemon after theyve gained levels. The level-gaining rate starts to slow down and it gets frustrating seeing the exp bar increase so slowly. Oh well, that’s why I gave up helping yiwei play pokemon after sprout tower. (which is filled with bellsprouts and too easily defeated with a low level quilava)
lots of people decided to go cycling and roller-blading. After the overnight cycling I have something against cycling for more than half an hour. Well, at least for these hols. So I stayed with the others and played some ddr on ps2 controllers. (one might actually think of playing ggxx with a ddr mat), then trained the pokemon till yiwei and everyone else got back. Instead of going for dinner, they very cleverly decided to go swimming. I seriously have something against swimming in the same pool at the same time as nick. Sorry, but yeah, its your fault. So, me and davin, who were left playing halo2, hogged the xbox till wwe went for a late dinner. We played the co-op campaign. Its kinda too easy lah. We already got used to the controls from some games earlier on. Halo2 rocks. Like dual-wielding rocks. Super combos include anything. They just destroy anything you aim at. So we got to earth, completed the courtyard thing. Got stuck at the tunnel level. Damn lor. Like we got so far, and couldn’t find the opening. I think davin found it when we had to leave for dinner. Heh. Like the others were still swimming. And they were all dripping wet and made the rooms wet and stuff. when we got back from bk, everyone was playing ddr. Meh.
Wednesday 17 nov
Me and davin hogged halo2 till the others wanted to watch reuben play fatal frame/silent hill2 as a horror movie at midnight. Bad idea. It was so boring because few scary things happened and anyway they got stuck and the repeating holes and dreams thing got kinda irritating after a while. My positive impression of silent hill has diminished. Anyway, all the halo2 made me and davin the best! Its like any multiplayer map we definitely got first or second lor. I kept getting first until my eyes got so screwed up then I was 1 point behind davin for one game. We were playing way into the night, determined not to sleep. Yuhui, Yvonne, Eugene and nick/chin were playing some full game of mahjong thing. (surprisingly I didn’t play mahjong at the chalet at all) so it was like the both of us continued playing with other people and continually won them. Oh. then we played 3 on 1 juggernaut. Juggernaut gives one player higher capabilities, and all 3 vs this person. Davin was the first juggernaut, he killed some guy, then I pwned him with a ghost (omg I love ghosts) and thus took over as a juggernaut. On a ghost it was hard to stop a guy liao (he could just boost and splatter you) as juggernaut I was unstoppable. Juggernaut status + ghost = damn shiok. Final score = 15 – 1 – 0 - 0. like w00t. we continued playing till morning. I tried to get some sleep but couldn’t. took a bath at dawn after ending sam chye’s ggxx pwning spree.
Went for breakfast at downtown east mcd. Saw xin rong there. =S I ate a mc muffin, then we bought more bbq and chalet stuff. went back, fell asleep while the chalet was emptier because lots of people disappeared somewhere. Woke at 12+ and played more games. The time between this and the bbq was all fuzzy so I shant blog about it. Except there was a really gay but cute game in which you rolled a ball and collected stuff. oh. and mr tan chopped off part of his finger cutting corn. Really scary. He said he couldn’t feel much pain because it was numb. I guess that betters then pain, but just seeing the blood flow so freely from his finger was just scary. It made a long stream in the drain going all the way to poolside. Scary. Some chalet guy came with a first aid kit and temporarily patched mr tan’s finger up and he went to the doc’s, coming back with some bonish bandage thing on his finger and having to eat liver noodles.. The bbq was quite ok lah. The food was way better than last night’s p6gep bbq. The food was actually cooked and tasted real good. Like yay bbq was a success. It ended with me and some other guys playing with fire. Pyromaniac! While a whole lot of people went swimming. mrs lee came sometime in all this. We all chatted for a while. It was ok to talk about scandalous stuff, so we did. Oh. mrs lee knows about aa+zw! She even saw zw lor. Haha. We talked about lots of scandalous stuff. then I got a cup of mochacino, and went for a walk with Nicholas and jun kiak. Like yay pasir ris and all. When we got back mrs lee was still there. Played polar bear then she had to leave.
Then lots of people went in to watch the amazing race 2. and I decided to listen to what ama, nick and mr tan were talking about. Darren, hui yi and aaron joined in too after a while. The usual scandalous stuff. oh, we left ama and mr tan at around midnight and went in to gossip.
Thursday 18 nov
Argh last day! We weren’t about to cry anyway. Too busy gossiping. I still dunno who yuhui likes! She must like someone right? Oh well. gossip till late at night lor. I fell asleep beside yh or something. Sometime in the middle of the night yh went off and Darren magically appeared in her place, after having spent his time beside hy. Omg. Scandalous. I only really fell asleep after seeing ama and mr tan came in after their 5 hour “chat”. Bet they were flirting lor. Go ask the others! And the both of them made it real obvious too. So I slept till morn, we all packed up and sorted everything out, then my dad came, checked us out. We said very quick (at least un-unhappy) goodbyes, and he brought me, Yuhui, Audrey and Darren to shps for the food and fun fair.
Bought an oreo ice blended then stepped into the fair. We got pulled in to help count coupons. Got to eat bee hoon with squid. Haha saw our teachers from the past and all. All the teachers commented on how Darren had lost lots of weight. See? You aint fat lor. Joanne and Priscilla came from their squash, and after finishing counting we talked about more scandalous stuff (this year has been dominated throughout by scandalous stuff and the talk of scandalous stuff) then went off to let jo and pris have their lunches. I ate these shrimp dumplings that were real nice and all. Then we played vball and squash at some void deck.
Darho thinks im better than him at vball. Like wtf. hes gone all pessimistic this year. Oh well. cheer up dude. Oh. and aud is still pro at vball lor. Ill miss her more than I thought. And yh, dun need to talk about her lah, shes been really really unforgettable in my life. I hope I got to see her like some other guy. And I hope that guy is nice. Ok yh? But still ask me for prom night please. Omg. Ill miss all of you! I mean besides Darren. Cant miss him can I? I went off before I got all angsty and tried to find the pirated cd shop so I could find gtavc. I was like omg both pirated cd shops that existed three days before were gone. SHOCKING. Wtf lor. Came home, and fell asleep while listening to careless whisper and my dad telling me he bought cod for my dinner.
Ok. I had a bad dream about Audrey. Nothing bad happened but I woke up feeling really freaked out. It was like all dark at night and stuff, and me and sb were walking down this street in some American-looking town. Then we sorted saw audrey’s house and saw her leaving with her family in a space wagon. This was sort of the part that freaked the mark out in the dream. I mean in the dream I was all running and screaming after her to come back. When I woke up I was all omg symbolism so im still real freaked out by the dream. I hope for more days well-spent with people like aud, yh, hy, sb and everyone else. I hope our relationships will never disintegrate (especially after experiencing what happened after p6gep) although they will. So I also hope for the very best times I ever spent with them. And maybe we could all marry each other next time and live together happily ever after.

Anyway, there were five people in our group : me, ang hee, june, ivan and xin rong. We got less people still finished the watermelon so fast lor. Technique = mash up flesh of melon, then drink with juice. Fastest way. Yup. We got to go second, 5 minutes after the first group. The first clue was pretty easy, tiong bahru mcd. Got onto the same train as first group. Haha. Then at tiong bahru mrt we ran faster than them, even though on escalator, and got to the station first. So pro lor. Did the banana dance then ran off. Then the second group caught up. next stop = ikea. Redhill mrt then 33. we got to the “hidden” station masters first. Haha. Got the prices of everything REAL quickly. So we were way ahead of the second group. Bras basah next stop. 33 back to redhill mrt, mrt to city hall, city hall walk to bras basah. Still first. Found the guys at jack’s place. Omg. Hopscotch! But it was damn hard lor, 5 people in one box. Though box was larger. Failed first try, then suddenly vanessa’s group, which had been 3rd, reached. They got their first try, failed halfway. Then we got our 2nd try. Failed. Bleh. Pretty hard when it got narrow. 3rd group (previously first at start and second when we left ikea) arrived and got their first try. 2nd group got 2nd try and passed. We got 3rd try and passed. Yay! Lunch stop = big bird at uob plaza at Singapore river. We formed an alliance with the third group (our group now being second) and went together to Singapore river. Route = walk to city hall mrt, mrt to raffles place, run to big bird. Had to get 9 people to hold stuff and let us get their photos. So lame right? 1st group got only 3, but finished before us, and weren’t told about the 9. so a bit of conflict. So they decided to let the two groups go together. Heh. Lunch for 20 mins, some rice with lots of vege and small hot dog cubes. We went off.
Post-lunch stuff was all in pasir ris. First stop = blk 516. wah. The two groups were on same train, same bus 3. haha. The station masters were LATE. They were on the same bus! Wtf. it was a tie all the way. From the setting down of items of 30x length yvonne’s palm, wriggling our butts down this line, then passing through of long items through our shirts (which was pretty lame) then the passing around of a paper clip on skewers. Haha. Then we had to find Eunice who was hiding somewhere in blk 516. immediately we went to the higher levels. And scanned through the whole building. All this while no one thought of looking through the first storey, until we gave up and decided to go down. By this time, vanessa’s group were faking taking a break and said they hadn’t found Eunice, but then they left. They ABANDONED us. Heh. We found Eunice on the first storey then got to leave too. Like finally. Xin rong left for the 2e chalet. Wah lao. Take taxi one. We took 403 to pasir ris park. The clue stated the SPIDER WEB. But in fact they were at the beach. Jian right? We had to transport sand from beyond some line into 5 bottles. Bear in mind we had 4 people at this point and in second place. And um, had to bury someone in the sand. Wtf. poor june. So sorry yah? Every group buried the smallest people. Sorry june! Then I stood in the sea while they passed rubber bands to me on straws. Wah, then had to sing and dance and get two people to whistle for us. Then we finished the race! Second! Quite good liao lah. Apparently we had the best performance! Haha. Nvm. So fun lor. We finished damn early, so sorta had lots of time till the bbq. Ivan and I went on the spider web and the long slide. I still cant slide down lor. Must push myself along. Meh. June and ang hee took a long time in the toilet lor. Think they showered or something. When they were done we followed some seniors to white sands to buy stuff for the bbq. Heh. Lots of soft drinks and some crab sticks. *forward through all the crap till bqq*
The bbq, I guess was the best part of the day. There were various discussions on the issue of trust, friendship, love and the usual stuff we talk about. We were positioned along a small stream that went through the whole condo area. Quite pretty actually. And Audrey was posing like some ornamental object in the middle of it. WEIRD. We got food, talked and talked. When the sun went down, me, sb, aaron and saml were sitting on the bridge all angsty and stuff and talking about how life and love just sucked. And sang lots of angsty songs and sorta went crazy in the end. We spent about an hour doing this. It’s a beautiful life. Yup. It grew pretty late, and at the last few minutes we were roasting marshmallows and playing daidee and cheat/bluff. Ah. Beautiful end. June’s dad brought me, ivan, saml and Vanessa home. Yay. Thanks! Oh well. Tomorrow’s the class chalet, then im going to johor on Friday till sunday. Seems likes its gonna be a week I’ll spend mostly away from home. And a long week too. Best week of the hols! I think.

“Allow Us To Be Frank' is a collection of classic songs from the Rat Pack era given a unique makeover by one of the UK’s biggest boy bands. Featuring tracks originally performed by legends like Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jnr and Frank Sinatra, ‘Allow Us To Be Frank’ is one of the Westlife’s finest albums to date.”
Like yay and stuff. I liked frank sinatra’s music quite a lot, and with westlife, this must really be a good album. Yeah, still a fan of theirs. Heh. They’re still the biggest boyband up to date, even after quite a few years. the longest-lived boyband or something like that, all the other favourites (bsb, nsync) died out too soon. So um, this goes onto my Christmas wishlist as 2nd. (after gtavc) brian mcfadden’s, the lonely westlife dude, album, irish son is 3rd on my list. Yup. Real to me is pretty good.
So um, went to eds today. Some new guy called adam took over mr brian. Better than brian lah. But first time with a new guy so was pretty tense and all. Started on a new fairy tale play. I was about to comment yesterday on the popularity of fairy tales this year, with so many dramas we’ve done this year on fairy tales, and all the fairy tale movies (ella enchanted, princess diaries 2 …) yup. So anyway its set in modern Singapore. Kinda interesting lah. Lunch at mcd with Cindy, Audrey and Tristan.
Then went to tamp mall. Hui yi, Amanda, Vanessa and fang ming has some stall there selling personalized test tubes and some glittery tattoo thing like the ones we did during free time on eds night. They were teasing me about Olivia again! I dun like her lor. Apparently she came lah. Anyway, only yh in my heart =) sort of. Haha whee~ I was sort of persuaded to buy two testtube things. Yeah. Haha. One for yh, one for me. So sweet right?! Ok. Nvm. Anyway I promised her xmas prezzie. Yh, must buy stuff for me too hor. And this hy, I also promised her xmas prezzie budden she dun wan to make her own testtube! So weird. I wont buy for her liao. Yx will buy for her right? Haha… (oh crap, creep’s playing… YOU FLOAT LIKE A FEATHERRRRR in a BEEEAUUUTIFULLL WUUUUUURLLLD…….. sheeeeeeeee’ssssss ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnning) then went library and borrowed the eye of THE sibyl. Whee~ im going crrrrrrazzzzzzzzy.

I slept till 12++, then rushed to someone’s (not permitted to repeat name) house for a bday party. Pizza and sushi! Haha. Ggxx too. Eh. Impossible creatures is nice! Pretty cool game. Anyway I left early. Like hy and ama said princess diaries 2 was at 4, so I went early. Turned out to be at 630, so I went home. Watched a bridge too far, about operation market garden. Haha. Not bad show. 630. met zhi wen outside gv. Hui yi, Amanda, Tristan, Vanessa and fang ming were late by 10 minutes. So pro right? And when I called hy at 630, they said they were getting into the lift. Wah. The lift took 10 minutes to get them up to level 4. or maybe it was the lift at vanessa’s house lah. Anyway. Princess diaries 2 rocked! Haha. Nice show. A bit like ella enchanted, with the fairy tale ending and all. So sweet lor. Somemore coughamacough and coughzwcough were sitting together! Haha. Okok. Had dinner with the two of them and Tristan, then came back home.
Im gonna be soo soo soo bored tmr. The comp was going to come tmr lor! Then the stupid company said they wanted a long weekend. Because of the two hols. But tmr is supposed to be a WORKING day. How can they cheat my feelings? Ive waited so long for this day. And now everything I ever known is gone. Ah well. There’s no use in getting the comp next week too. Will be out almost everyday. Mon = eds amazing race!, tues-thurs = 2kl chalet!, sat-sun = johor OR Malacca! Ill be free on Friday but its still no use getting the comp. oh well. As mun yi would say, im a sadness. And everyone’s like busy tmr! Ill like so rot at home. I feel so unloved!

And its my dad’s bday so he brought me and my mum to have some steamboat thing at tm. It sorta loses out to seoul garden but wasn’t as disastrous. Quite nice. Yay. Happy bday dad.

“Republic - a representative democracy in which the people's elected deputies (representatives), not the people themselves, vote on legislation.”
In singapore’s case, “the people's elected deputies” refer to the parliament, and these people choose our leaders. But we choose the people who make the choices, so its still a form of democracy. Either way, the pap is still in almost absolute power, who would defy them? Sure, they seem to be running Singapore well, but are we really a democracy? I mean like, no one would think that the pap would/could be overthrown by some unheard of dude in the near future. At least we know the pap knows how to run the country properly. Like yay. We’re all happy and stuff.
So anyway, bryan’s leaving soon. Cya and all the best… I borrowed a few Michael Crichton books from the library. I was put off from “the 13th warrior” because of the unusual names of places in the book, and the unusual Arabic names. I really don’t get this kind of stuff. and the narrative is pretty boring too. I decided to return the terminal man and prey too. I think ill read sphere and prey sometime soon. And uh, the perfect princesses book by meg cabot (princess diaries) I borrowed for no reason will go into the return slot soon. Argh. I need good books. I started on the phantom tollbooth but I decided to leave it for the long trip to Malacca. The story seems to be quite interesting, and is a great escape from the really mind-wrecking novels of Crichton. Andromeda strain and timeline were good reads, and really intellectual too, and contained whole lots of facts I learnt much from, but it was harder on the brain than other books. Ill go back to youth books for a while. I want to read the princess diaries series! Book 2 was a fun read, so I’ll try to complete the series. The curious incident of the dog in the night-time seems like a great read too, and so does the alchemist. Thus my booklist is as follows:
- Sphere, Michael Crichton
- Prey, Michael Crichton
- The phantom tollbooth, Norton Juster
- The curious incident of the dog in the night-time, Mark Haddon
- The alchemist, Paulo Coelho
- The princess diaries, meg cabot
Yay. Should keep me entertained during those boring moments throughout the 2 month long hols. Slept for a while in the late afternoon. And fk. I forgot to save my screenshot of “elvis has left the building” in gta2. I wonder if they still have that in gta3- gtasa. I dreamnt a really weird dream. Yes. But nvm. Well anyway, I think ill take a long nap till tmr afternoon. I dunno what to do tmr. Maybe yh or hy or darr or someone will call me tmr to go out. If not I shall be pretty bored at home.

Its been an ok day. I attempted to go to vjc myself on 31. Oh well. At least I know the statistics.
From home – 45 mins
From interchange – 35 mins
From darr’s 31 busstop – 25 mins
From tanah merah mrt – 20 mins
From Bedok interchange – 15 mins
Well, that’s all I could gather. From me and darr’s info. So yy went back to tamp, and it was just me, darr and yv. We went to mph at parkway. Nick, yh and ama came I bought the phantom tollbooth (being unable to find any of them online for free), one of the three bridging books. I think I could finish it in a day or so. Quite short. Finished andromeda strain. Its quite brilliant. But after the initial awe of reading something written by Michael Crichton (ie timeline) you sorta get used to the pro-ness of his writing. Its unspeakable at first, how someone could weave a story like that, but then one realizes its possible.
Well anyway we ate at yoshinoya. Then we bought cookies and cream from giant and went to some corner to eat. Haha. Good times. Got rejected from the arcade because of uniform. Meh. Then they decided to paint some clay model thing and give it to nick as a prezzie, even though he was there. I dunno how it went in the end. We took some paparazzi shots of Darren and Yvonne together. W00t. well anyway I couldn’t see the result, being whisked away to far east by my parents. Just finished watching the oc. Omg. Its good. But real angsty. I would love to live in that kind of place. Beautiful. W00t. in so much bliss.

Well, quite an crazy day. I woke up just as the phone rang. We finally had something to do! W00t. SHOPPING! At orchard. Duh. Ok lah. Sorry I didn’t meet you yh. We had to wait for hy! And no she is not a slut. I dun like her! Wtf lor. Dun hurt ppl’s feelings lah. I always love you hor. = hui yi’s nice too! Yup. Everyone’s nice lah. Including you, yuhui. Ok. So anyway, I bought octopus balls and beard papa cocoa puff. Omg. Heavenly. Ok. So we went to heeren to meet yh and nick. God knows what they were doing together. Nick = slut! But anyway, since it was his bday, I bought sweets for him. Now he’ll stop pestering me for prezzies. Happy bday dude. Lunch at cineleisure yoshinoya. Then we got lost somewhere, trying to luck for places to go. Went to tangs and looked at stuff. im real deprived yeah? Haven’t watched shrek ½ before. They were playing it there. Got to see a bit. The others were making fools of themselves at the pianos. Yeah. Whatever. We went to far east, vandalized some walls, and took neoprints. Then I took the mrt with yh and ama. And we uh… went round and round etc etc. went the wrong way once, then changed train, and went the wrong way again, then changed to another one and then another one. Oh well.

That’s some song june sent me in exchange for miss you by westlife. It quite nice, the kind I like, pop-ish and cheerful. The other kind if like is semi-angsty and smooth-sounding music like miss you by westlife. Yup. Well, today was quite fine. But very wet. And cold. Well, we went to vjc today. For the admin and intros stuff. wtf. a few points here.
1) the only person I knew well in my class is Nicole. Ok, maybe not even that well, but my only… friend, is Nicole.
2) There are a lot of 2e people in the vip. Xiao xian (who I consider somewhere in between acquaintance and friend) and some Justine guy (whom I am convinced likes Olivia) are in my class.
3) The other two dhs people in my class I don’t even know
4) My class is rather sad, but I think the people are pretty nice
So now its just me and nini. Wtf lor. Oh. And I grew ONE inch. ONE inch over 2 years. Wtf. so now im 30. a nice multiple of ten. Nick has some problems with the uniform. No need to say anything. Mehness! The food’s not bad. We all ate carrot cake. Yup. I didn’t know the white stuff was FLOUR until today! I have been deceived. My WHOLE LIFE’S A LIE. I always thought the stuff was WHITE CARROT. Wtf. WTF. I don’t even think there’s such a thing as nice white carrot now. Ive been living a lie all these years. I feel so betrayed! Ok. Whatever. So we went to Darren’s house to play mahjong.
It started raining when we got on the bus. So it was a wet, long walk to Darren’s house. We got to see waterfalls and rapids and rivers along the way of course, but it sure wasn’t worth it for what we went through. But not the equivalent of pulau ubin. Anyway, I learnt how to play mahjong. Like finally. And its DAMN fun lor. But im still kinda slow at it. I won the second game! Right. I guess it was tyco. I guess it was worth it. We did it all for mahjong. Heh. Tmr will be rotting day. Just rot at home. I might go to the lib and borrow some books. Heh. And theres some crazy jap comedy called banzai showing now. I dint know comedy@central’s now on Mondays. Cant wait for celebrity deathmatch. W00t. good days.
