He's incredibly boring, yawn.

On another note, I went to IndoChine today. It's pretty...

The whole deco is an underwater effect. They're adding in their fish tank feature soon. It's gonna stretch through the whole pub. If you haven't been to IndoChine at Wisma Atria, you should go check it out, esp at night. It's split into two sections. One, a restaurant, and the other, a pub. Kinda like Alley Bar kinda thing, but 10 times better. They have a live band playing, and they were good might I add, and the decor to the place is just cosy with it's stylish twist of the water effect I mentioned before. It's niiiiceee...

It's going to be our new hang-out grounds from now on. That is, if and when we have money to spend on drinks. I drank Champagne just now btw. It was lovely. Moet & Chandon Brut, yum! My new sipping drink. Tequila's still good too, but more for drinking-to-get-high purposes only. Champagne just tastes like heaven, plus, it's bubbly!! Also, it isn't as expensive as I'd thought too. Like just now, I spent 20 bucks while like, Diana spent 15 on her Lychee Martini (it's yummy too btw). So 5 bucks difference isn't such a big deal. Plus, I hate most Cocktails anyway.

So anyway, I've discovered something about myself today. I dislike boring people. They're just...boring. No fun to talk to. I don't even want to waste my time on people like that anymore. What's the point? I have more important things to do, like shopping, sleeping, eating, and hanging with more interesting people. So goodbye boring dudes and dudettes, go find some other boring people and bore yourselves out.

I bought a new pair of footwear today. I actually found time to shop today. How utterly amazing!! It destressed me so. I need to shop more often. Maybe tomorrow... Anyone up for it? Call me after 12:40pm. My common test will be done by then. Yes, tomorrow's my first paper. 3 more in the week. So anyway, I need serious destressing people, so call me if you wanna shop. I'll be in town.

The Asian Aerospace was niiice...

I loved the air show. Whoo, that F-15 is a beaut! The planes and choppers on show were amazing... I'm beginning to think plane's are my next love, after cars, of course. But seriously, the Indian Air Force did a spectacular aerobatic display, with all the pretty smoke left in their trail. I'll try to post pics soon.

The weather was scorching. I think my right arm is darker than my left now (most of my body was under the shade 'cept for my right arm). But no worries, the tickets were free, and lunch was provided too. Mmm, smoked salmon... And lamb... It was a full buffet. All of the dishes were delish. But anyway, the President of Singapore was there too. 'Coz all the VIPs sat at the balcony. So we ate our lunch while viewing the airshow, cool huh. I tell you, the President has got it made. Unlike us commoners, the waiter would put alittle of everything onto a plate (or two), and show it to his Excellency to choose from. The President would then make his choices and the waiter would bring it to him. Whoa, that's what I call VVIP.

So anyway, there were a few tables inside the VIP area (where there's aircon), and a few tables were reserved for the President and the Ministers. But since they were at the Balcony, the tables inside were left unused. So after the airshow, and after the President left, my family and I, along with a Caucasian businessman and his collegue, sat AT the President's table and drank tea. That's as close as I could ever get to being treated like Royalty I tell you. Unless I marry the Prince of England (Not Charles, NOT CHARLES!!!) of course, but pulezze.., the odds of that happening is like, 10 fuckin' billion to 1.

Getting free VIP tickets to the Aerospace event was a miracle I tell you. 'Coz my mom didn't book with the SAF Wives' Club till late, that all the tickets had already been already taken up. First come first serve basis ya see. But we were put on the waiting list for 4, and 2 days before the event, we got a call confirming us. So it was my dad, mom, lil' sis and I who were going to go. Then, my brother decides that he wanted to go too, so my dad offered his ticket to him. I felt bad at that point of time, 'coz I so wanted my dad to go. I wanted him to show me all the workings of SAF and stuff, but since we only got 4 tickets, it was either him or me. And I wanted to go since January. I'm not hardcore or anything, just that my dad never really brought me to these kinda things when I was young, when he was in SAF, so now I insisted that we all go. So anyway, 5 mins before leaving the house, my mom suggested that my dad just come along and if the organisers had any tickets to spare then good, if not, no loss. So then he came along, and surprise surprise, they DID have some late cancellations. So t'was the 5 of us, the whole motley crew, the Brady's (my dad's name is Brady) bunch, all going to the Aerospace event.

I'm glad it all worked out, 'coz we all had a fab time. It was so great to have the whole family just go to something and enjoy ourselves there. No fuss at all. And I feel as though the bond with my brother has gotten past the "be-mean-to-your-sis" stage. I liked hanging out with him. I guess I've grown out of the "irritate-my-big-bro-but-not-on-purpose" stage too. We're just at good terms. Great in fact. And it's just...great.

You should've seen us at the exhibition. We had time to spare before the airshow began, so we decided to go round the exhibit to see if we could get some freebies. So we walked all over the place. There were like, 4 exhibition halls too, and we went through all of 'em. Walking, trying to see if anywhere gave out free stuff. It was just for fun, in the end, we knew the stuff we got were going to be given away by our mom (typical la). The only thing I'm keeping, is a stress ball that looks like a globe, and a battery operated fan. That served me well.

I hope my family and I get to do something like this together again. We used to do it all the time when I was little. I've missed it.

I'm going to the Asian Aerospace later. My mom got 4 free tickets from her SAF Wives' Club. Ha, how cool is that?

Anywayz, a good friend smsed me the other day. He told me that he dreamt of me. Don't worry, nothing kinky. It was a totally cool dream I tell you. He dreamt that him and I were in the USA at a Good Charlotte gig!!! How fucking awesome!! Mann...I wish that were true. I'd be totally psyched outa my brains...

Good Charlotte...and me in a packed-like-sardines crowd. Jumping and cheering like nobody's business. That'll be the day...

One of the things I wish for, but know I'd never get to do, is to catch a GC gig live. Doubt they'd ever come to Singapore. So the only way is to go to them. Ha, fat chance. No money, no talk.

I can still dream can't I?

Success!!!

I did some actual studying today. Almost done with one whole module. Just 3 more to go, *smacks head*.

So anyway, I'm going to turn in early today. Yes, 1:16am is early, considering I've been sleeping at like, 5 in the morning for the past few days.

Everyone's out clubbing, while I rot at home. But no worries, I caught some shows on the tube, so it was all good. All part of my restraints from clubbing till Common tests are over.

Club people club! Wait till I'm done with my studying and tests, HA! Hopefully, I'll have money then. *shrugs*

It's already Wednesday and I haven't started my studying for the upcoming common tests. Grrreat...

I've been tanning tho. Ha, can't really tell, but I got a liiittle bit darker. I really love soaking in the rays.

So today's gonna be the start of my hardcore studying. I'm serious! Stop laughing...

Btw, I've noticed that my monthly income isn't compensating to my shopping needs. So I'm going to take on a few more part-time jobs. Two in mind right now is, giving tuition to Pri 1 - 5 kids, and modelling.

I'll probably start tutoring right after my common tests, and the modelling thing...ehh...end of may. I need time dude and dudettes. I hardly have time for myself. I've only been getting some "me" time these past two days, and I've missed it. I also miss my friends, so to plan everything into a 7 day week is going to be tough. Juggling school, work, and social life, *sigh*.

To live a life...

I just finished my test...

It would've been easy if I actually studied. I half-guessed myself through the whole thing. Passing it would be a miracle.

I only got to look through some of the programming codes 15 mins before the actual test. I planned to study the night before, but was too tired to even try.

This week's my study break and I hope I'll be able to get my study-mode on and make it last till the end of next week. But I know, for a fact, that it won't happen.

Kk, time for some studying, pfft, yea right...

I feel like my life isn't as fulfilling as most people. The guys have been talking about their secondary school days and all, and it sounded like they had a blast. During my secondary school days, I hated it. I would never want to go back to those days. It was torturous.

No one really knew me. I was whoever they wanted me to be. A "follower" so to speak. I changed cliques so often, I never really had real friends. I've always wanted to be popular y'know? Because being popular means having tons of friends and being looked up to. I wanted that, 'coz I thought that was cool. I never realised that being myself would be enough. Not till my last year in school. That was the year when the bullying stopped, when I got sick of cliques, when I felt comfortable with me being me. That's when everyone started noticing me. That's when they started to see, Amanda.

I was bullied alot. I was pushed around, looked down upon and all that shit. I didn't know how to stand up for myself, I wasn't taught how to. I was always spoiled, always had things done my way, and thought everyone was nice. But no, the harsh reality was, kids are mean. Kids that I considered as friends weren't friends at all. I wanted so badly to fit in, and they saw that and used that to their advantage. They were people who saw an opportunity and took it. They saw a small lil' girl, oblivious to bad ethics. Oblivious to bad kids.

I learnt it the hard way. I got my feelings hurt, I got made used of, I was mistrusted. Now, it's really me. Now I am myself. Now, I'm no longer oblivious. Now, I know right from wrong, friends worth keeping or not, and most importantly, having real friends. I love my life now. I have friends who love me for me, and that's all I need in this cruel world, where everything isn't handed to you on a silver platter. So long as I have my friends with me, I'll do fine.

I'll make new friends on the way, discover horrible ones, and learn from the experiences. All I have to say to life is...Bring it on!!

I took a nap between 6:30pm to 10:15pm. Yes, I missed 15 mins of Smallvile.

No big loss, I still understood the rest of it. Kristen still looks great. And Tom Welling and his smile *melts*.

Okay, so I've got 2 tests tomorrow, but I've yet to even start studying on it. And it's 1:56am. Huh...

I'll be having a study break the whole of next week. I'd probably devote like 3 days to hardcore studying and play the other 6 days, heh. What?? I need my play time... I haven't had enough. I shouldn't have worked so much last holiday. Only one week of actual holidaying was NOT enough.

So yea, anyone up for pool?

I was at the ICT blocks with Nat doing my proj while she does hers, when lo' and behold, standing at the door outside the room was Mr *wink wink*.

Good gawd, he just looked at me all wide-eyed and waving frantically. He's like an over-grown kid. I went outside to talk with him for awhile (very short while). Then said my goodbyes.

Then a min later, he comes into the room and says hi to his friend who happened to be in the same room as me. But at that time, Nat and I decided to go get some tidbits from the co op. So we left the room. When we returned, with my Snickers and Ice Peach Tea at hand, there was a msg left on my icq. It was *wink wink*. "wanted 2 bid i gd bye but wasn;t able 2 c u". Erm, yea, sure. I should get an award from decoding that msg mann. So then, he kept on msging me thru icq, and I kept replying him in 5 words or less (hoping he'd get the hint), but no, he just went on and on and on and on... Finally he ran out of conversational topics and we ended the conversation with a "yup".

It's 1/2 an hour till my next class. It's going to be a drag, I know it.

Smallvile's on tonight on Ch 5 at 10pm. I'm so excited about the new season. Kristen Kreuk is gorgeous. Tom Welling, with his big blue eyes, just makes me melt without the need of his super laser-shooting powers.

Btw, I've caught part of an episode of the upcoming season of FRIENDS. Pheobe's getting married. Yes, you've read it right folks. M-A-R-R-I-E-D. So watch out for that.

... ... I sound like a one of those perky tv presenters trying to advertise something. Good gawd.

J'aime beaucoup la music.

Music does it for me. I don't know what I'd do w/o music.

Imagine the world w/o music. Movies without background music. Disney cartoons without all the singing. Life would be duller than it already is.

So, VIVA LA MUSIC!

Went to play pool with Sidney, Jeremy, Hau Geng, Mark, Paul, Bi Zhen and two other guys. Was later joined by Diana, Wilfred, Gerald and Jennifer.

Paul and friend, and Mark, Bi Zhen and I left early, but only the latter 3 went to Thompson to eat prata. After a scrumptions meal, we headed to the car. But when we were pulling out of the lot, we heard a screeching noise coming from the back tire on the left. We stopped a few times to see what was wrong, but we couldn't really tell. Then we dropped Mark off at his place and checked the car again. Bi Zhen even tried to tighten the bolts, but it didn't make a difference. So we decided to head to a Kiosk to ask a professional about the matter. But Bi Zhen sent me home first and went to the mechanics after. Now he's updated me that it might be the brake lining, and he's gona get it fixed tomorrow.

Poor Bi Zhen and his car. Hope he doesn't get into trouble with his folks. Good luck Zhen!

'Neways, he's still hooked on the fact that we're all turning 20 this year. Ouch, the big 2-0. But it is true, we're no longer the young ones. I feel old.

I used to think, when I was little, that when I'm 20, I'd be working and almost settling down. Being an adult and what not. But in reality, 20, is just an OLD teenager. You're not yet working, and you're still staying with you parents. Well, most of us that is.

Eek! And Bi Zhen mentioned the word shrivel. Ugh... I hate that word. Shrrrrriiivelllll It just sounds, wrinkly, pruney, and loose-skinned. Yuck! I canNOT imagine myself being old and...wrinkly. Good gawd, I hope I die at 50 plus.

Note to everyone: Bi Zhen and I have planned to move to Tibet. Anyone wanna join the anti-age movement, please let me know asap. Thanks! We are scheduled to fly off by next week.

I forgot to mention this.

Sidney showed me the Vday card her bf gave to her and it was sooo sweet. I forgot most of the content, but this one phase got me going all aww-ish. He wrote "Je t'aime" which means, I love you (in French). Aww...

French is such a beautiful language.

I spent my dateless Vday watching movies and slacking at home.

I caught 'Gothika' and 'Along Came Polly'. I was a little scared with 'Gothika', 'coz hey, it's a horror movie, and though I love horror shows, I'm but a coward. But it was aight. 'Along Came Polly' was alright too. I wouldn't pay to see it though. I believe shows that are worth my $6.50/$8.50 are ones that have special movie effects, thus being in the cinema and experiencing it's full effect. Those kinda shows, like romantic comedies, are best watched in cinemas at your own very-free time. When there's nothing else to watch and you've got nothing to do. I like romantic comedies though, but 'Along Came Polly' was o-k.

Bi Zhen came to pick me up, along with Erik, Mark and Danny. It was like a convey mann... Bi Zhen with his car, Erik with his motorbike, and Danny and Mark in Danny's Camry. So anyway, we had a pit-stop at Alameen first, we needed to decide where to go. So we made a few calls, then headed to Harry's @ the Esplanade. There we met up with Jeremy, Hau Geng and Ivan. Then Gerald, Sidney and Sara and company. We didn't stay long, left at around 12-ish.

Got a lift back home from Bi Zhen (thanks again!), and just got off the phone with my friend Nic. We talked for a whopping 2-hrs. Wo...

Anyways, hope you guys had a good Vday. Mine was aight. Just another day...

So night everyone!

Skipped my morning lectures. Whoop-dee-fucking-doo!

I went to the Stacie Orrico gig just now. It was...not bad...

The thing started at 8:30pm but Madd was late, so we went in at about 9pm. Too Phat was already at their last song "Just a lil' bit". They rock mann... So anywayz, the hosts were VJ Utt and DJ Jean Danker. I would've much preferred VJ Denise over the both of 'em, but hey! I'm not the gawd-damn producer am I?

BLUE came next (they sucked) then Javiar. Javiar was this black guy from the USA. He's sang this one song that's been playing on the radio for quite some time now. He's good. Powerful and soulfull voice...very nice. Vanessa Fernandez from Urban Xchange, even did backup vocals with him on one song. She was good too.

Then the much-anticipated Stacie Orrico's set was up. Jean Danker said she's real pretty, but from where I was standing, I couldn't really tell (I'm almost blind remember??). But her voice, I tell you, was great. She sang with such ease. Reaching the lows and highs like nobody's business. Power sia...

After her set, Madd and I left and headed to town to meet the rest: Sara, Sidney, Hau Geng, Diana and Wilfred. We hung till 11:40pm then went home. On the bus, I bumped into Gerard. He's one of the guys I acted with back in the FMSS days. I felt quite odd talking to him, 'coz I didn't know what to say. But he's a nice guy, still quiet, but nice.

Then I bumped into Fairina, Ryan's friend from UWC. She's such a sweetheart. We talked all through the journey. I felt kinda bad just leaving Gerard alone like that, but I didn't know what to talk to him about either, and I bet neither did he. When my stop came, I said my goodbyes, then Gerard stopped me and wished me a Happy Valentines' Day. I wished him back and got off. Nice people, those two.

Today's tanning day. I didn't get to tan the other time. It wasn't sunny enough. But I'm not sure if I'd be able to go tomorrow too. Period.

Damn this bloody thing.

HAPPY VALENTINES'!!!

To all you singles out there: Don't worry. V-day is about spending time with the people you love. Friends included. So go out, go out with friends, and have a good time! I know I will!!!

To all you couples: Fuckers!! You all rot in hell!! ROT!!!! ... ... ... Okay, no la, I'm kiddin'. Y'all are lucky to have found someone you love. Treasure that time you have with your partner. 'Coz things change with time, your love might, but the memories will always be there, so make sure there are lots of good ones.

Okay, you love birds, go to sleep now. Sllleeeepppp....

It's finally Friday, thank god.

It's been a slack week. I skipped a whole lot of classes. I even skipped school on Thursday, so yea.

Wednesday night was...boring. Y'know that I went for the MTVAsia Awards Party thang at Zouk right? Well, it started out with lining up outside of Zouk. For a private party, there sure were a helluva lot of people. So anyway, I was in line with a couple of friends, when this Caucasian guy in front of us was asked to do something to win 2 free drink coupons. The people who asked, was a man and woman dressed up in gothic-looking costumes. But, for some strange reasons, the woman looked alittle drag-ish. But anyway, he was required to wear this idiot-looking helmet and put on earphones and identify the artist and the song he/she was singing. Easy enough aye? But I really didn't see the purpose of wearing the damn helmet. It was sprayed silver with plastic cups stuck on it. How...stupid. So anyway, the guy guessed correctly and won his 2 free drink coupons. Then they looked at me, and asked me if I wanted to give it a go. I politely declined and thought, 'No way am I going to put on that stupid helmet, are you crazy???'. Seriously, it's that stupid. But my friend's friend did it instead.

At the door, they gave us a goodie bag each. We got a MTVAsia Awards notebook, T-shirt, catalogue, a useless Starhub pen, and a Liberty-X cd discount voucher (rrright...like I'd use that). Later in the night, I discovered that they gave some people this really cool black squarish pillow with the MTVAsia Awards logo on the top. Ooohhh... Why couldn't they have given me that instead??? Damnit.

Inside, the event started at 8:30pm. Typical... It was hosted MTV VJs Denise and Utt. VJ Denise is so cute I tell you. She's so quirky and fun! I really hope to meet her one day. It'll be so fun. VJ Utt on the other hand, was alright. Good-looking bloke, but was eh. Stiff guy. Reminds me of a certain someone in NP. Yes Yh, you know who. Seriously, they're so alike. Their looks, their personality, and the way the talk. ... ... ... Eww...

We got free beer! Okay, Anchor beer, but it's still beeeeer. I hate beer though, so no biggie to me. Plus, my friend knocked my hand and caused the bottle to fall and smash into lil' ity-bity pieces. Poor Nat got scratched by a piece of glass. Btw, Nat, Rongyan apologises and hopes it's better. But I told her not to worry, but I'd relay the message to you. But if you don't read this, then, err, ahh nvm, I'll tell you tomorrow.

Anyway, they gave away some pairs of MTVAsia Awards tix, but I didn't get any. Was afraid to go on stage and not know the answer. 'Coz if you get it wrong, or don't know, you get kicked off stage. So yea, maybe tonight's thang would let us have a chance to win some. We'll see.

After the event, I went to meet Sara and ZhengChang, and met Sid aka Tink and Shaun. Ran into Tim as well.

Nat and I left early, like, 11pm. I changed my shoes in the cab. My feet were killing me. Earlier in the day, Nat and I went shopping and I bought these killer strappy shoes. They were heels, so yea, when I wore them, I was 3-inches taller. But no worries, it helped me see past people's heads at the event, heh. But they hurt as hell. So yea, I changed back to my flats in the cab and thank goodness I did. I couldn't have imagined myself walking across the over-head bridge at my house in those heels.

I reached home and plopped onto the sofa and watched the telly till 1am. I fell asleep. Woke up an hour later, bathed then head to bed. I was dead tired.

I didn't skip school 'coz I was tired. I waass, but I got up in time for my 10am class, but decided to skip it instead and laze about the house. I got changed and all, then made myself lunch (instant Mee Goreng...mmm...). I watched Charmed on cable then Oliver's Twist on Ch 5 (I love Jamie Oliver...). Afterwhich, it was already 12:30pm. I could have left then, and make it for my 1pm class, but I was just too lazy... So I skipped school altogether and changed to my more comfortable clothes, and ate ,and watched tv ,and ate more a,nd watched more tv...etc etc.

What a productive day I've had aye?

So tomorrow's going to be mooore productive. I'm serious! Classes from 8am to 5pm. Then meeting Madd outside of Zouk for the Stacie Orrico gig.

Ok then, till tomorrow.

I went to collect my tix today and y'know what? They gave me an invite to the 'Private MTVAsia Awards Party' for tomorrow night at Zouk. So yes, I'll be going.

So anywayz, met up with El Paulo and Madd. We went to MOS Burger to grab a drink for Madd then headed down to Fish & Co. at Centrepoint (it was the nearest). I wanted a Chockie Junkie, but the Centrepoint outlet didn't have the "machinery" to make the drink. How hard is it to make a chocolate smoothie? All you need is a blender really... Argh, whatever, but the woman was nice enough to tend to us and suggested that we go to the Glass House instead, so we did. Poor Madd had a hard time walking there, 'coz it was the first time she wore her new boots out. It looked smashing tho.

So anyway, we went to the Glass House and I finally got to order my delish Chockie Junkie. It wasn't as great as I remembered tho... Hmm... So then we were debating whether we should just eat our dinner there, or go somewhere else less cha-ching. I can't really remember why we stayed, but we did, and I had Fish & Chips. Madd had the same and Paul had the Sambal Threadfin with rice, with a side order of Coleslaw. Halfway through the Fish & Chips, I was stuffed, and so was Paul, but Madd had like, a bottomless pit I tell you. Lo girl?? Where do you keep all that food?

Then Mark came to meet us, then we all headed down to PotBlack for pool. There, we met Tinkerbell, Jere and BiZhen. I didn't play as bad as the other night, I actually sunk some of the balls in (thank the heavens). I think it's the table, aye???

So 'neways, I took a bus home. Mark and BiZhen walked me to the bus stop. On the bus, this guy sat next to me. I was reading my book and saw a shadow over the paragraph I was reading, and when I looked up, this guy started smiling, nodding and pointing to the seat next to me. I stood up to let the guy scoot in, then sat back down. I felt so uncomfortable tho, he kept looking at me. I didn't bother much about it, 'coz I figured if he did do anything funny, I'd just hafta yell. But no, he didn't do anything (thank God).

Now, home, I need sleep. Night my lovelies!

DAMNIT!!!

My alarm clock was an hour slow, again.

Thus I've missed 2 classes. 'Coz I intentionally missed the 8am one, but wanted to make it for the 9am class, but couldn't. I'm going to throw the damn alarm clok against the wall if I didn't need it so badly. I will go down to IKEA soon to get a new one. This one was free, no wonder. Or maybe it's just the batteries? ... ... I'll go change 'em when I get home.

I skipped French today.

There was a mock test that I was sooo unprepared for and plus, I'm beat.

I set my alarm for 7am but I woke up at 8 instead. And I lazed on my bed till 8:45am. I was way too lazy to go the my 9am MPI lecture, so I smsed a friend to help me sign my attendance for me. Then she replied saying it's too late to sign for me already. I'm like, huh?, it was 8:45. Then I looked at my alarm clock again, and I was right the first time, it was 8:45am. Then I looked up at the clock on my wall, it showed 9:45am. I'm like, fuck! Bloody friggin' unbelievable. This is the second time my alarm clock has done this to me. And I was going to be late for my 10am class.

So I skipped that too. I got up, washed up, and got dressed for school, but watched the Grammy's instead. The Black Eyed Peas were on, damn, I want to go to the MtvAsia Awards this sat, but I've got no tickets. Dag-damnit.

I wanna see Michelle Branch, Simple Plan, Black Eyed Peas and Stacie Orrico!!! But I've still got a consolation... Remember I won tix to Stacie Orrico's showcase at Zouk??? I finally got the call this afternoon. I'm probably going to pick it up tomorrow or something. Woohoo!!!

Ohhhh hie-dee-hie-dee-hie-dee-hie-dee-hie-dee-hie-dee-hie

Does radiation make people fat?

'Coz there's this phone that I know of, that gives off an extremly high level of radiation. And so far, I've noticed the people who carry those particular phones, are fat. Odd, that.

So anyway, work was a bore. Pool with Sid, Jere, Mark, Bi Zhen, Danny (who left after a game), Justin and companion, was just as sucky. I got beaten 3 times in a row by Zhen - bastard. But, I finally won ONE game, against Tinkerbell tho. So anyways, Tinker and Jere left us to get home via bus, whilst the rest of us went to Rocher to eat tau huay. Justin's car is niiiice... Damn the rich. So anyway, they ate their tau huay (I didn't 'coz I don't like soy stuff), and then Justin sent us back. Thanks Justin!!

I'm always appreciative when people send me home, 'coz I hate the loong journey home.

So tomorrow's the start of a brand new week. Monday means 9am to 7:30pm. Fan-fucking-tastic.

Ciao!

I did go to that China Black party I mentioned. It sucked.

I enjoyed a lil' of the dancy bits but the place was too packed to actually move properly. Madd looked like she was having a smashing time tho. Then 'coz we all getting too hot and sweaty, we decided to get some air. So we went to Macs to grab a bite. I just drank some of Bi Zhen's (wash-your-fingers-when-you're-done-with-crab-lime-water) lime juice, and some of Gerald's milo. Mmm, milo. You guys MUST try the chocolate milkshake at Fish & Co.. It's delish. So anyways, we all left early and I shared a cab back with Bi Zhen.

Injury count: 1
Gek Puay must have been still pissed about the apple pie incident the other day. (I asked her to help me buy apple pie the other time, but when I needed to leave, my call came too late to cancel my order. So she got pissed.) So anyway, what happened was, she was talking to Sara I think, and she stomped her foot on the ground. It was an accident, I know, but her stiletto heel jabbed me on my toe. Right on a bone. I teared. Cried alittle actually. It hurt like hell.

It's better now. The scab came off already. Yes, it bled.

So anyway, I'd better head on to bed. ... ... ... ... ...

Bi Zhen just called me. Apparently, he paid almost 30 bucks on cab fare. Btw, he lives along Bukit Timah road.

I was in the cab with Bi Zhen, and we talked all through the journey. We headed to my place first, then his, though his is the first location that we'd go by. So anyway, I was dropped off at my place, we hugged and I left. And now, after all this time, he calls me up and tells me that he just got home. When I left, the cab fare was like 8 bucks including midnight surcharge. So actually, the total cost would have come up to, to most, 15 bucks. But no, he paid 30 buckeroos. Apparently, he was still seh and he can't even recall our conversation or that we hugged or that I had left the cab. Not even that we planned to play pool tomorrow. (Btw, Madd, tell the rest about pool tomorrow aft 8:30pm)But he seemed fine in the cab, and he told me before getting into the cab that he was fine. So basically, he got suckered into paying the cab driver an overpriced fee of 30 dollars.

Silly boy. But I totally understand the blank memory in his head right now. I've already experienced that twice. It feels liked you've lost a part of your life, not being able to recall anything. It's quite a scary thing actually. I don't wish anyone to go through the same thing. So kids, be good, and don't drink.

I'm off.

Damn the weather.

The whole week had been hot hot hot in the mornings and rainy in the afternoons. But of all the days to NOT be sunny, it had to be today.

*grumble grumble*

But 'neways, I'm chatting online with a friend right now. Clement to be exact. Haven't talked to him in such a long while, neither have I with the rest of Potential Problem. Wow, I haven't mentioned PP in such a long while. I missed hanging with those guys. They make me laugh, but then again, I laugh at almost everything.

So Clem's telling me how he won't be able to make it for Plain Sunset's gig tonight. The last PS gig ever before they disband. No big loss to me la, 'coz I'm not totally into them. They're good musicians, just that, I'm not a huge fan of emo. So now Clem wants to sell his tix for a 20 piece. Any takers? Last minute, I know, but what-to-do?

Clem and Geng Rui (aka DimSum) are 2 members of PP. They're like Penn and Teller - never apart for too long. They're both such jokers too. One without the other is just wrong. ... ... ... I've always wondered 'bt the both of them.

There's a China Black party tonight. Not sure if I wanna go. I'm quite enjoy lazing around the house.
Ahh...such bliss...

(Really) The End.

Tanning tomorrow!!! Woohoo!!!

I've recently taken some pics with Yh's camera phone (thanks dude), and I look damn white! Maybe's it's 'coz of the poor lighting, or 'coz I look like crap in photos. No matter, I still so need a tan.

Willian Hung is THE MOST talked about man in the world. He's the guy who gave his best for his audition in American Idol 3. Just remember the Hongkonger who sang "She Bangs".

He's totally famous now. They even made his audition recording into a remix!!! How fucking cool is that??? I've already heard it btw (courtesy of Yh), and it's fucking awesome.

To William Hung: Don't worry mate, American Idol isn't everything. Try the upcoming Singapore Idol, I'm sure you'd make Top 3.

But seriously, Will can sing. Not "star" quality or "pop" quality, but his rendition of "She Bangs" wasn't that bad. He wasn't out of tune at all, I think. But compared to most of the other auditioners, he rocks man!!

But dude, don't dance.

I'm was so excited when my cousin was coming to Ngee Ann Poly for the Open House.

I so wanted to show her around, but due to time contraints (I had class), I couldn't. Hope you enjoyed yourself Jess!

Ngee Ann isn't this filled with things to do, let me just tell you. Though we do have the often-held bazaars now and then, NP is like any other school - boring. But the library does help. I think we have the coolest Poly library, but I haven't seen the other libraries at the other polys so I guess I'm just biased.

Woar, Ngee Ann was busy as hell today. Everything was everywhere. There were CCA booths at the Atrium, promo booths and an ice-cream cart outside the library (NP Orchard, as they call it. Bleah, whatever.), a bazaar near the IT blocks including a Macs stall that sells finger foods, apple pies, and ice-creams, including the 25 cents ones, heh. But the weather was waaay too hot to take our time to browse through everywhere, so Peggy and I just got a quick look at everything and walked on. Good gawd, no joke dudes, the weather is blistering hot today. Damn, would've gone tanning today if I didn't have to go to school.

I even brought my jacket today. 'Coz I had DAD (Database Application Development) class today in the "meat chamber". It's bloody cold inside, but when I walk out of the class, it'll only take me seconds to warm up.

I hope the sun doesn't go down anytime soon, maybe I can hurry back home and catch a little bit of sun. *crosses fingers*

Right, I should be doing my work now, so yea, later.

I'm beginning to love pool again. I'm getting much better at it, I hope.

I hate it when you ask someone for help but they so half-heartedly give it to you.

It's much worse when they have halitosis.

The party at China Black didn't impress me at all. The music was... Eh.

I didn't get high, but Sidney (aka lil' Tinkerbell) did. She almost got into a fight too.

We were walked to PotBlack (yes, I finally know the name of the pool place), which was near Forum. At Lido, we weren't paying much attention (Maddie, Mark, Eric, and I), when Sidney made a remark to a 'Shemale'. We didn't even know that he was there, till he started swearing at Sid. Shortly after, another came up to Sid and started swearing at her too. Then after much rebuttal, we tried to quickly walk away, Eric pulling Sidney while she swears back at them.

Woar... Seriously, I was a little scared for a moment or two. But all I worried about was preventing her mouth from running and getting herself into trouble with 'Shemales' again.

So then we walked her to her boyfriend's house, dropped her off, then went our way to PotBlack. Sid joined us later on. So did Paul, Sharon and Danny too. After pool, we were all starving so we headed back to maybe fetch the rest of the peeps (Sara, Gerald, Kenneth, Jeremy) to join us for supper. But only Kenneth came down. So we all went for supper.

We decided to go to Alameen at Bukit Timah, but when we reached there, it was closed. We forgot that it was Hari Raya Haji. Wow, great... Then we decided to go to this noodle stall at Bedok, at least that's where I think it was at. So after a looong drive, we finally reached there to find out it's closed too. Grrreat. So FINALLY, we decided to head to Sim Pang for prata. It was open (thank god), so I ended up eating 1 kosong and 1 egg prata. It was delish! I never knew egg prata tasted so good. Next time round, kosong-no-more. Egg prata and cheese prata for me.

Danny was so nice to send me home all the way from Sim Pang to Bukit Timah. Thanks Dan!

We (Sid, Maddie and I) did alot of singing that night. The 3 of us started singing the moment Danny started playing tunes in his car. My gawd, we were so off. Hahaha, it was fun tho. Also, when Danny started to send all of us home, he wanted to wind down the windows and blast trance music. Yes, trance. I know... But it sounded good though, maybe it suited the situation, I don't know... So then when all 4 windows were winded down, Maddie stuck out her head of the window (yes, like a dog). I even asked her to do a dog impression which she pulled off with such ease. Her hair looked like a mane of a lion's, and with the dog impression, she resembled a 'chow chow'. Hahaha... Seriously dudes...

But anyway, I reached home at about 6am, bathed and then slept till 2:30pm. I couldn't continue my slumber 'coz my mom went and invited her 2 friends, along with 3 children, and my lil' sis's friend from school. Fucking awesome. I planned to sleep till 5pm y'know? Argh... *grumble grumble*

There was this lil' 4-year old girl who was soo adorable though. Her name's Tania. She's such a lil' sweetheart I tell you. She would laugh in the most cuuuutest laugh. Awww... She wanted to put one of the hamsters into the running ball and let it loose in the house, so I took one out and put it in the ball. She got so excited and started to follow the ball wherever it went. Then one time, the hamster stopped to clean itself. She didn't know, so she pushed the ball thinking she's helping the hamster. The poor lil' rodent probably got the shock of its (very short) life. So anyway, we played awhile, Tania and I, then when she had to leave, she came to me, and put her arms out wide. Then she gave me a hug. Awww...

I like kids, esp when they're not my own, heh. My mom even suggested that I become a teacher. Eek! A teacher??? Me??? Nooooo fuckin' way.
