So many people turned up to Zouk last night. It was, afterall, Adidas's new spring collection 2004.
Guess who was there? Mr. *wink wink* himself. Ugh...
The fashion show was not badd... One or two models caught my eye, the rest, bleah.

Freeeeezing that's what it is..
I feel like I'm in a frozen meat chamber. And the rain outside isn't helping either. What's up with the weather these days??? It's gone completely mad! Mad I tell you...
I'm listening to, ha, Britney Spears now. Syaz (dearest) lent me her cd, and I copied it onto my laptop. So far, I've only liked 2 songs, and I'm at track 10 already. Her music reminds me of Kylie Minogue now. On some tracks, that is.. On others, she's trying so hard to sound "black". White girl trying to sound hip-hop and happening. Ugh...
I'm finishing my class soon, at 4pm. But tomorrow's going to be a total bummer... 8am to 5pm. Eek. But no worries, I'd be partying at Zouk at night. So till my next entry...

I met up with (in order of arrival) Sara, Diana, Paul (aka El PaulO), Maddie, Sidney, Bi Zhen, Mark and Ivan, in town after school today. The weather was fucked up mann... Rain, and then rain somemore.
But anyway, cut to the interesting highlights of the night. Madd, Sara, Sidney, and I went to PastaMania at Scotts to have dinner. So after we were done, we started to play around with the meatball soup that Sidney didn't finish. We added cheese, salt, pepper, and loads (fuck loads) of Tobasco sauce. The brownish soup turned red-orange, kinda like the colour of Laksa. It smelled bad too... The vinegar kinda stench. So then, we dared Sidney to drink a full soup-spoon of it. Her reward? A whole pack of cigs. So, of course she went for it.
She should've swallowed the whole thing at once instead of keeping it in her mouth. The spiciness got the better of her and she spat half the amount out. Poor girl was tearing.
So after dinner, the 4 of us headed to Far East Plaza to sit and chat. There, Bi Zhen and Mark met up with us. Then as another dare, same reward, we dared Sidney to drink the remainder of what's left in the coffee cup (not ours btw, it was left by the people before us), and cig ashes, and sugar syrup, and chilli sauce. She went for it. Poor girl drank 1/2 a gulp and felt sick already. I dont know why she was so enthu about this dare stuff today, but kudos to her mann... Loads of courage to even drink a little of either one of the mixes.
I played pool today! Hadn't in a damn loong time, but yea, still fun. We headed to a pool place near Forum Shopping Mall (yes, I can't remember the name of the place). It was totally unfilled with bengs. Very enjoyable. I still have no skill btw. I can only hit straight (sometimes), and other times luckily making unexpected sinks.
At the end of the night, everyone headed home. Ivan, Paul and Sara stayed on to play Billard. Bi Zhen, Maddie, Mark, and I went to Starbucks to chill before we headed back. Then I bumped into my bro and his ex, and discovered that he drove, ha! So I had a ride home, while the rest made it back on their own.
I didn't have Netball training today. Rain of course. Bummed about that, but I didn't mind, 'coz I did hang out with my friends and I can honestly say that I had fun! These new peeps we've been hanging out with have been so great. Fun (and funny) bunch of guys. Wouldn't you say Madd?
Anywayz, need sleep. Night folks!

I bumped into 2 of my used-to-be best friends today.
It was weird 'coz I sooo didn't expect to see them. I haven't seen them in 3 years. Yea, that long.
We lost touch 'coz of stupid-little-secondary-school rumours. Dumb aye? But it was awkward seeing them again. I missed them. I didn't realise till I saw them, but I did. At the same time, I just couldn't be as comfortable with them as I used to. 3 years... 3 looong years...
And it was strange 'coz now both of 'em have "accents". One, I understand, 'coz she's been living in Sydney for the past 3 years, but the other has been in Singapore ever since. So why the act? Hmm...
So anyway, I got their email addresses, so I guess I should email them. I did promise we'd keep in touch. But I guess it's just a polite thing to say isn't it? Doesn't mean I actually have to. ... ... But I want to, I think. I'm not sure. I guess that space between us is still there. To cut the long story short, I don't really know why we stopped being best friends. One of them and I used to be so close that we could finish each other's sentences. Then the other joined our duo, and we were still close. After secondary 3, we just...parted.
I hate losing friends without knowing how I lost them. Especially when I have this idea that it was 'coz they believed rumours spread by a bitch in school. A bitch, that everyone knows, can't be trusted. So there...
I'm confused...

I won! I won! I won!!!
I won tix to the Stacie Orrico showcase on the 13th of Feb!!!
How cool is that? Since I wouldn't be able to go to the MTV Asia Music Awards this year (yet again...), I'll still be able to catch Stacie Orrico sing live at Zouk. *Jumps with excitement*
I had just come home from town (Thanks Bi Zhen - for the lift home), when I heard the DJ announcing about the event. I don't know why, but I thought I'd just try my luck at it. But, I didn't catch the phone number 'coz he said it too fast (though he said it thrice), but yea, I just gave a whack at it. And I got through!!! I actually got through! At first, I thought, hey, maybe I'm, like, the 9th caller (I didn't even know how many callers there was supposed to be actually), but no... I was the 10th caller mann... Ha, cool aye?
So then anyway, the DJ got down my details, we chatted a little bit, then he started recording for the airing. I was tensed up mann... I only spoke whenever he asked me a question, ha. My heart was beating harder than normal. I was just so excited! So anyway, someone from the station would be calling me soon to inform me where I'd be able to collect the tix.
Yay!!!

'Stuck On You' was awesome. A MUST-watch for everyone. Well-produced and well-scripted. (Almost) 5-stars.
I have to ask though. What's up with cameo appearances by Cher and Meryl Streep? Their roles in the movie was minuscule. Especially Cher, for heaven's sake. Eeeww...
Oh oh oh!!! I wanna catch these two movies: 'In America' and 'The Butterfly Effect'. The trailers made them both look so 'wow' I tell you.
So anyway, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! 3rd day already (technically, 'coz it's 4:33am). I have collected just over $300 now. Not sure if there'd be any more adding onto that amount, but yea, cool... I've got to lend all that to my dad though, 'coz, yea, financial problems. So bye-bye ang-bao-money.
It was bloody hot the first day of CNY. Good thing I was wearing a dress, haha, ventilation. At the end of that day, I had a throbbing headache ('coz of the mothafucking weather), that I took panadol and made myself comfy on my sofa.
Didja catch 'American Idol 3' last night? Fucking awesome!
I do not understand how people who are completely tonedeaf, actually think they can sing??? HEL-LO!!! Are you alone in this world??? Get someone to judge you before going in front of 3 music industrial professionals and, not to mention, nation-wide television, and sing your gawd-damn lungs out. Have some intelligence, will ya??
Seriously, this is how stupid people can be sometimes. Stupidity should be kept in a box, taped up and thrown off a cliff.
So anyway, last night I went for a reunion dinner with my dad's side. I was supposed to leave by 9:30pm 'coz Diana was having a gathering at her place, but I called Madd and she said most of them were leaving by 11pm, so no point going there for only an hour when I'll be seeing them the next day am I right? So yea, in the end, I joined my bro and his ex for a movie - 'Stuck On You'. We wanted to catch 'The Last Samurai' but the seats that were left were crap, so we caught the 12am movie. No complaints there, we headed to Lips Cafe for drinks and cake.
Hanging with my bro and his ex was ultra fun. It was so easy talking to the both of them. Ha, surprise surprise. I never imaged going out with him (w/o the folks), would be actually enjoyable. My bro and I never really got along when we were kids. But since he got back, our relationship has gotten waay better. Which is good. ... ... I like it this way.
So tomorrow I'm going to Sara's kick-ass party. Why kick-ass? Well, if you must know... Remember the NYE party I mentioned? Well, Sara (better known as Sara DJ) planned it. And she did promise me that her next party would be even better than the first. Woar... I can't imagine anything that could beat the NYE party. I seriously can't... We'll just hafta wait and see...
Ciao!

Went to town today, didn't buy anything on my list. I bought a pair of ring earrings instead. Ha! Finally got a new pair!
And what's so shocking about me and a dress??? I'll put up a pic if my bro takes some on CNY day. My dress is real pretty. Hard to describe, but it's basically a baby-doll cut, but with paranakan designs printed on it. Natalie has the same exact dress, but hers is purplish, while mine is reddish. Don't worry, we have alot of the same stuff, but when it comes to clothes, we make sure that we don't wear the same thing on the same day, esp to school.
I've been telling people that I've been looking forward to CNY 'coz of 'Bak Kua' - grilled sweet pork (for all you non-asians who haven't heard of the term 'Bak Kua'). Saying that, I should've eaten more than my share by now, but I don't know why, for some strange reason, I haven't started on the 'Bak Kua' at my house. Plus, no pineapple tarts this year 'coz my grandma couldn't find good enough pineapple in time, so we didn't make them. Sigh, no worries, we still have the rest of the CNY goodies "in stock". *Evil laugh*
"More??.."

By now I'm thinking how materialistic I am. But hey, what else is there to do and spend on besides materialistic needs aye?

I borrowed this book called "MORE Letters from a Nut" by Ted L. Nancy. It's really amusing, I tell you. This guy, Ted, writes bogus letters to companies and hotels and what-nots telling them stupid things like "I like your fork". Read on:
"Dear Customer Service Dept.,
I just want to tell you how happy I am with my fork. I use it all the time. In this world of people not giving others credit I just want to say that the Good Cook Drinner Fork company makes a very good fork Maybe the best fork I have ever used! Certainly better than my spoon.
I use your fork on the following: mashed potatos, melon chunks, cranberry roll, beets, corn, lettuce, cake.
Please let me know that the people who made my fork were thanked. They deserve more than just looking at forks all day. Let them know others are out there and they care!!! Thank you.
I look forward to hearing from you soon, In the meantime I will continue to use my fork on the following: Sanwich meat, pie, pineapple, imitation crab, yams, rice, gumbo.
Will you be coming out with any new fork designs soon? I like the fork, but I want to be up to date on other fork designs. Will there be more prongs? I am satisfied with the number of prongs I have now, but you never know. Thanks for thanking the fork makers for me and writing me back and telling me they were thanked.
Thanks.
Best Wishes,
Ted L. Nancy"
There's even a spoon version. ... ...
The worst part, is that the companies write back! See how dumb Americans can be sometimes? Like how Singapore's in China and all. Dumbasses...
Seriously, are Americans so free that they entertain STUPID requests and ridiculous comments like these? HELLO??? If people did that in Singapore, they'd be sent to jail. Typical isn't it?
In another letter, Ted even writes to a hotel requesting that during his stay, he'd be dressed as a bladder. You got me right, a human bladder. The General Manager from Ritz (the hotel) writes back saying how inappropriate it'll be for the well-dressed, almost formal, guests to be intruded by a bladder. Then Ted writes:
"...And thank you for explaining to me that a man dressed as a bladder would be out of place in your luxury hotel. Oh my goodness, I had no idea you thought I would come to your fine hotel dressed just as a bladder. Of course, I realize that you have a dress code there. I will wear a tie, starched shirt, and hard shoes over my bladder clothing. In essence, I will dressed as a formal bladder. I am sure that this is acceptable. (I am hoping). I have worn this clothing in front of the president before. (At a mattress shop opening at the airport). ..."
Damn, I can't believe they publish books like these. So yea, the whole book is filled with letters by Ted and response letters from companies (even well-known ones like Coca-Cola). Sheesh...
Interesting book, but not something I'd actually buy out of a bookstore. I'll probably go find the first edition to this series in the library tomorrow.
Reading is fun...

I was just watching my lil' sis's hamsters running in the wheel. Yes, together. Ain't that just peachy?
Oh... Forgot to mention this last time. When we first bought the 2 hamsters from the pet shop, we were told one was female and the other was male. Turns out, both are males. I think one's gay too. 'Coz the other squeeks each time the (maybe) "gay" one comes in contact with him. The un-"gay" one might be homophobic. Either that, or he's sissy. He's getting real fat though. The suspected gay one runs alot. Too damn much sometimes. Damn hyper lil' bugger.
The exercising wheel is a little squeeky so whenever he runs on it, esp at like, 3am in the morning, the damn thing whirls like nobody's business.
So anyway, we keep changing their names. The un-"gay" one was actually called "Missy" 'coz we thought it was female. So when we found out it was male, we changed it to "Sissy". He's fat and bloody lazy compared to the other. He can even sit and/or sleep on his ass, though most usually lay down on their belly or their sides. Lil' fat bastard.
So the suspected "gay" one's called "Speedy". He's so fast, he shoots from one side of the sofa (when we take him outa of the cage and onto the sofa of course) to the other side in a blink. He's probably a mixed breed between Roborovski and Winter White. Roborovskis btw, are bloody fast. Faster than the Speedy most definitely. My dad and I saw one in another pet store and when the woman tried to take it out of it's 8-inch long cage, it ran like mad. She took 3 mins just to hold it down, before it got loose again. That's why I didn't get that one. Too damn hyper.
So yea, in the end, we settled for 2 winter whites. The coat's so pretty I tell you. I'll take a pic of 'em one day.
Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not obsessed with the rodents. They're just amusing to have around. I'd much prefer dogs over hamsters, but for now, I'm settling for the hamsters. They're cute, tiny, but cute. Dogs are so much more fun to have around though. More interactive.
"So when are we getting a dog, dad?"

It's a spur of a moment thing right now, but I feel like taking pictures.
As most of you already know, I hate photos. Me in photos that is. I look like crap, maybe 'coz that's how I really look like, so yea. But I think I need practice being in front of the camera, esp if I'm going to be serious about taking up modelling. Ha, I still can't grasp the idea of me being a model. It's so...weird.
But anyhoo, I'm going to borrow my bro's camera (if he'd let me) and go down town and take pictures. That is, if anyone's free to go with me. I just luuurve taking photos, I don't know why, I just do. But I just don't like being in front of it. What's the matter with me? The camera's not going to steal my soul. PLUS, it's a digi cam, so I can easily delete the UGH-ly ones.
Now I hope my bro will lend me his IXUS-400 tomorrow. *Crosses fingers* And I hope I don't dirty it, scratch it, break it, and/or lose it. *Crosses other fingers*

Advice when doing sports (esp. the running sort): DO NOT wear anklets that have pointy edges. No no, no good.
My whole body is aching from yesterday's Netball practice. Every main muscle in my body is hard as a rock now. I'm not kidding. It's so stiff, I couldn't even cross my legs while sitting on a chair. I had to carry one leg over the other. Pathetic right?
But at least I'm getting some exercise.

I was drunk last night.
Yes, after I told myself NEVER again.
I didn't expect to be drunk. I didn't even expect to go partying last night, but I did.
It was a super lame party. The people were alright, it was just the whole atmosphere to it I guess. The place was a total dump. It's supposed to be a "ballroom" in a hotel, but it's, like, a KTV louge kinda thing? Yea, that bad. So yea, 'coz the party was boring, I thought I'd try to get high. I totally forgot that I hadn't eaten much in the day. All I ate was a hotdog, and some cashew nuts earlier in the night. That's it. There was food at the party but I didn't feel hungry at all, so why force myself? But so anyway, I drank waaay more than I had expected: 20 shots, one after another, some double shots even. The last thing I remembered from that night was blurred, but I think it's drinking with a friend. Then I woke up at my house's basement staircase.
It's a good thing there was someone there with me, I'd totally freak if no one was there with me. Thanks Exodus. He was so nice to stay with me throughout the whole morning. He filled me in with the embarassing moments of last night. Good gawd, seriously NEVER EVER again. It's so unglam mann...being drunk, ugh. But thanks again Exodus... really.
When I finally got home, I felt so faint - black dots blurred my vision. But I had to put up at least a sober act in front of my dad who was in the balcony eating breakfast and reading the paper. I said, "Hi dad", and staggered to my room. I HAD to lay down, so I did, on the floor. I slept for about 45 mins before I got up and headed to the toilet to bathe. I felt faint again, so I laid on the bathroom floor. I was there for 3 hours. I was that weak. I finally got up and went into the shower area. I figured I wasn't strong enough to stand up long enough to bathe myself, so I brought my shampoo, conditioner, soap and facial wash onto the floor, and showered myself, whilst sitting down. How pathetic is that mann?? But I got cleaned, and finally left my bathroom. By that time, dehydration had taken over me, and I was soooo dry. So I had to get water. I gulped down a whole mug (my mug's double the size of a normal one btw), and refilled it then headed to me room.
There, I slept on and off. I guess I slept enough throughout the morning that's why my body didn't need to rest anymore, but I was still weak so I forced myself to sleep. When I woke up, I ate bananas and 2 packets of instant mee goreng. Ha, it was goood.
My whole body aches. My ribs, my legs, even my cheek. I got a scrape on my left elbow and a bruise on the right. There's a bump on my head, and a bump on my left eyebrow. Apparently, I walked into a door frame. I don't know, I can't remember, but I probably did. Now the bump has gone down, but whenever I touch it, the nerve will twitch. It's just sensitive now I guess. You should really see the huge bruise on my lower left arm, it's green-ish now, it'll probably be purplish-blue soon.
I'm really, seriously, going to cut down on my booze from now on. I'm sure it's not doing my body any good. So Madd, please keep an eye on me, especially at the upcoming party. 10 shots THEeee most. Do whatever it takes to get #11 shot away from me.
I'm serious...I do NOT want to become an alcoholic. It'd be really bad.

It's ironic, but I really didn't think there'd be any interesting events happening today. But...
My 3-hr class wasn't as bad as I thought. It was fun actually. It's basically programming but waay cooler than I expected.
So okay, another thing is, Syaz, passed me my birthday prezzie today. It's one of those medium-sized really squishy bean bags that has the lycra cover. She got me this real bright orange one. It's so absolutely awesome. Thanks babe!
Ok, so I was just reaching the other end of the over-head bridge at my house, when I notice this small kid near the side gate of my condo. His mom was holding the gate open for him. Then as I finally got off the bridge, the boy disappeared. I thought he had gone in with his mom so I went through the gate myself, when the lil' boy's mom asked me if I'd seen a the lil' boy outside of the gate. I told her no. Strange how he disappeared like that. He didn't pass me, and he didn't pass her. So then I tried looking for him at the OTHER side gate, not very far from the one we were at. He wasn't there. Then this guy approaches the first gate and the woman asked him if he'd seen the lil' boy. He said no. So then, HE joins in the search.
I got myself thinking, if I were a lil' kid, with no where to go, where would I head to? Home. So I asked the woman where her block was and told her that maybe he'd went home. She told me which block she lives at and I went to look for him there while she went elsewhere. Thing about my condo, you need a card to enter everywhere, especially the lift lobby. So it was quite a surprise to find the lil' boy IN the lift lobby of his house block. I opened the door after scanning my card, and immediately, he looked at me and asked, "Mommy?" with this lost look on his face. I asked him to follow me, and told him that I think I know where his mom was. On the way, the guy who was helping out saw me with the boy, walked over and said something then started touching his head and stuff. At that point, I was thinking "Wo, don't go touching a kid you don't know dude". But I didn't say it aloud of course. So then to waste less time, I told the guy to walk ahead and find the mother. But he didn't listen and walked along with the boy and I. So then we reached the side gate, and I asked the guy where the mom was. He told me that she probably went that way, pointing to the pool area. Before he started walking in that direction, I told him that she might have gone outside the condo to look for the boy, but again, noooo, he just walked on. A minute later, the woman comes in through the other gate. She was so relieved I tell you. She started telling him how worried she was, "You know how worried you made mama? ... ... I was sooo worried you know?". Then the mindless idiot guy came running back. Touching the boys head again. Seriously, did he really need to do that? The whole time, I didn't need to touch the boy, but he just kept touching him. It's disgusting mann... So the mother thanked me, no 'thank yous' to the touchy bastard might I add, haha.
Later that night, I went to IKEA with the whole family today. We ate dinner and bought a couple of things. Then, near the hotdog stall, I spotted Denise Keller. Ya know, the VJ on MTVasia? Yea, so as I was telling my brother, "Hey look, it's Denise Kel.." she turned to look at us. "ler," I finished off. Then she smiled and turned to the cashier and paid for her stuff. I felt so embarrassed mann... I mean, I've always thought she was sooo pretty, which she is btw, but I'm not like "OMG!!!! DENISSE!!! I LURVE YOU!!!" kinda thing. Nah, I just think she's cool. My brother thinks her head's too big for her body though. Huh...
So there you have it, my very eventful day. Whoo... I'm pooped.

Here I am, in school, class ended early.
Today hasn't been that bad yet. I expect it to be bad 'coz it has been the past few days - school stuff that is. Like you've read in previous entries, it's all about boredom. Today...wasn't to that degree per say, maybe 'coz I was late for my 10am class today and we ended waaay early so the class didn't seem as long.
I have a 3-hr class after my lunch break. 3-hrs of the same subject, can you imagine? Eek...
Ok, going to have lunch now. Till tonight, if anything interesting happens.

There's this ARMY thang going on in my school. So far it's been 2 days into it.
There are tanks (woo...they're damn cool), guys in uniform, guys in full combat gear - camo and all, and even a Golden Retriver! Cool aye?
So anyway, aside from the army display, they set up a stage as well. Randall Tan (the guy from Light Years) is the host of the event and today we had a guest visit by Sheikh Haikel. I really like his first song release. The 'La' song? I can't remember the title but it was a damn smart way to fuse Singapore's famous slang with a hip-hop tune. But he didn't perform that song today. Instead he sang another hip-hop song and an arab-fused hip-hop song. Both were funky... But anyway, he dedicated the first song to some of the students hanging around. And then he pointed to my direction and said, "To that girl who keeps running away and coming back". I thought he was referring to a girl behind me or something, but I didn't turn around to check. But my friend did, and she told me that there weren't any other girls around, so he actually referred to me. Ha, how cool is that? Sheikh Haikel dedicated a song to me...plus other people too la, but hey! I was included. Sweeet...
But actually, what he meant before was that, before his act, he and Randall were looking for volunteers to go upstage to do some stuff, so my friend and I briskly walked away, to avoid being picked out of the scarce audience. But also, I had to go to print my time-table for a friend. But mainly 'coz I didn't want to be dragged onto the stage la, ha...
On another note, it's been raining ex-eye-candies since school started. Most of you already know that last semester I've been talking alot about eye-candies around school. But it seems, this semester, they've all lost their appeal towards me. 'Cept for 'KL'. He's changed his image once again. From jap-grunge to geek. He pulls it off well. Sigh... He may still be with his girlfriend from last semester, but who knows huh?
Btw, saw spikey hair guy today too. Now aka *winkz winkz*. I was in canteen 3 walking to a food stall when I heard my name being called from afar. When I turned around, there he was, waving his hand frantically. I waved back of course, then turned back front and had this look of awkwardness on my face. He really didn't have to shout my name from across the fucking canteen ya know. But yea, I guess he was just being nice.
Alrighty, school's like too long. It's only been 3 days of it and I'm dreading it already. Many blame the weather. I blame the draggy lecturers. I even asked my friend to shoot me in the head at next class. It was torturing.
So yea, tomorrow's going to be *sounding perky* yet another day of school!!! *Running out of energy* Woohoo...

I was supposed to have a full day (8 to 5pm) of school today. But I woke up late and only went for two 2-hr classes from 1pm to 5pm. Turns out, my 1pm class got cancelled and my 3pm class got cut short to an hour. So basically, I went for only an hour of classes today. Grrreat yea?

I just discovered today that I have more bruises than I thought.
The two that's on my upper right arm PLUS these... One on my left shoulder, another on my belly, one on the right of my hip, and one on each of my inner thigh. Oohh... I ache each time I lean on a wall - not good.
Whoa, I didn't know school could be sooo boring...
I slept in 2 of my classes already, and it's only the FIRST DAY of school. Not good, not good.
I was so bored in one class, I wrote a poem on how I wanna kill the teacher for being so gawd-damn draggy and boring. I'll sharpen it up and publish it soon, if I don't forget.
I didn't realise till this afternoon that I had French class after school today. Good thing I ran into a classmate, if not I'd be home slacking w/o a care. But yea, French so did it for me. I love French classes. It's so interesting I tell you. I was so afraid I had forgotten everything from last semester, but good thing we revised and everything just came back to me. I love French... Have I mentioned? I love French...

The sun was damn good for tanning today. Damn...
But anywayz, I went to Adam Road to eat lunch with my family then we headed down to Carrefour to shop abit before I left them to go meet the girls. I bought stuff. Make up stuff and a bracelet. Wah fucking good way to waste money aye? Damnit.
So anyway, I met Maddie's friend Ailin today. She's a real character mann... Anyway, we all went to the carnival in town. Sat the ride 'Crazy Surf' 7 times. I only paid 10 bucks for 7 rides that actually costs 5 bucks per ride. Heh, thanks to Ailin's flirtation skills. This girl's a multi-talented girl mann...
I have 2 bruises on my upper right arm now. Damnit! It doesn't hurt, but it's just fucking ugly ya know? Kk, but we had a blast. After the 7th ride, it was obvious that it hadn't been a good idea, 'coz all of us felt so nauseated. But thankfully. we could keep it all in. We got food in ourselves and just chilled at Borders Bistro till late.
And I specifically told myself NOT to stay too late, but I guessed I lost track of time and was too into the conversation we all were having. Interesting stories this girl has... But alast, we all split ways and it's already 1:18am and I have to be in school at 9am later on. Should not be late for the first class on the first day of school ya? Sigh, but I KNOW for a fact, that I would. Kk, gotta catch some winks now. Nighty night.

FINALLY went tanning today at Sentosa.
The weather was so off mann... The sun came then went, then came then went again. At least there was sun though. When the sun was around, it was super hot. I even got sun burned. I look all pinky now. Across cheeks and nose, back and arms. Looks like I have a damn nice tan, but it's actually just red. I doubt people would really notice the difference in my colour tone. Doesn't matter - I see it. I don't wanna get too tanned anyways, I just wanted to add some colour to my face and body. I was so pale. Better now.
I went to Zouk for the 'IXUS i' finals with Diana just now. We even got served free "Touché". It's this new drink they're trying to promote. It's actually a mix between Champagne and beer. One word to describe it - "ugh". Not something I'd pay for on my own. Alot of people didn't like it as well. You could see all the unfinished bottles of "Touché" all around Zouk. Some even untouched. Sad mann... The bottle had a nice design though.
So anyway, I got to see all the finalists on stage. Most of the girls were gorgeous. They looked so different from the photos in the ads though. They were all made up and dressed in their pretty little outfits. So chio mann, seriously. The guys however, most of them can't make it. 'Cept for one or two. This one guy - Alvin, was tall and damn cute mann. Ha...
In the end, the person who won the IXUS 400 and $1000 was this woman who was so disliked by the audience. During the Q&A, she said something like, "I want to work in a nursing home..." blah blah blah. Might as well add in "WORLD PEACE" or what nots ya?? You could so tell she was making all that up. It's like she was trying out for 'Miss Singapore' or something. When she walked on stage before the Q&A, she was acting all modelish. Puting her hand on her shoulder, pouting her lips and all - whatever...
Mann... Can't believe she got an IXUS i AND an IXUS 400 now. Bloody bitch.
Anyways, I wanted to tan again tomorrow, but after looking at how pink I am right now, I think I'll pass. So heading down to town instead - for shopping. Heh... Kk, need ta sleep now. Ciao peeps!

I was flashed just now. Yes, you read right, FLASHED.
I was walking to the bus-stop near Somerset MRT, y'know along the walk way on the way to the bus-stop, when I spotted someone on the side. It was a dark figure sitting on the step. I thought it was some skinny old homeless Indian dude, so I didn't even look at him. Then a few steps after I pass the guy, he asks, "Excuse me, excuse me, do you have tissue?". He sounded quite decent - educated in fact, so I stopped, scrambled for a tissue in my bag, and handed it to the guy. "Here ya go.." Then, while handing the tissue to him, I noticed his shirt was pulled upwards and his pants were down at his ankles. But it was dark, and my astigmatism was acting up, so while I notice all this, it was all ablur. Good thing, the angle where I handed him the tissue, the tissue blocked his dick. So, no, I didn't see his dick. I think if the tissue hadn't blocked my sight I still wouldn't have been able to see it. Firstly, 'coz he's Indian - y'know, dark and Indian, kinda blends in through the night don't you think? And also, I'm quite blind - day or night. Worst at night, so yea...
But seriously, I wasn't upset about the whole matter. It was quite an interesting experience actually. I don't know. It's amusing how people are like that sometimes - stupidly nutty.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I went to a fucking awesome party on New Year's eve. Best house party I've ever been to. Kudos to the organiser - Sara.
Hard to describe last night. Basically, FUCKING AWESOME. That's it.
Hope you guys had as much fun as I did mann... Perfect way to welcome the new year. Viva 2004!
I seriously think planning things out will only bring disappointment. What I mean is... So far, from experience, I've discovered everything I plan out turns out in shams. So I've learnt, to take things as they come. Don't over plan anything. Take it as it comes and figure out stuff on the way. Advice for the year 2004.
