My broken malay

I realised that I've wasted a year and a half studying malay as a third language. I don't remember much now besides the phrases I scream whenever I'm joking or in distress, or something -___-

Here's my broken malay for you to laugh at. Blogging is malay is tough. Mind you, it's extremely broken to the extent that only I understand since I was the one who typed it xDD And of course, some english mixed about there. Erm and a dictionary is used for some phrases. My dictionary isn't very smart, neither am I. You get the idea. xD

Saya semula sakit! *sighs* Semula deman selesema dan deman. Saya hanya boleh makan bubur. Emak saya sepanjang masa memberi makan saya ubat menjijikkan. =( Oh well... Saya membenci sakit!!

That's just something short. I couldn't type anymore, too tough!! *types in chinese*

我一向对新加坡的双语政策有着良好的印象。 刚开始学马来文的时候, 心里当然感到非常开心,等不及把马来文的基础搞好. 学了马来文一年后, 我依然没感到疲倦或开始对马来文感到眷恋. 但我因为明年会比较忙碌, 所以才放弃要好好的学马来文的念头. 现在,我已经把许多关于马来文的东西都忘光了... 也看得出妈妈对我这种态度没色么好感.毕竟他也是顺利的学会马来文,也能很容易的把这个语言在日常生活中应变得好好的. 但如果他和爸爸讲马来文时我也会听明白.还记得小时候爸爸妈妈常用马来语沟通, 害得我们做孩子的色么都不明白. 可能就是因为这样,我才会想要学马来文的.

我发觉自己除了跟马来朋友沟通和偷听马来人的话外,也无法在日常生活中用我所学会的马来文.

I didn't complete it. I was about to talk about bilingualism in Singapore, but typing chinese is tiring xDD Bleh. So I shan't type it in Chinese, I'll prolly talk about it next time... in English.

bahhh

Okay... It took me long to even realise that the chalet with my primary school friends is ... tomorrow. TOMORROW. TOMORROW. Just today, we went to buy stuff for the bbq and I thought the chalet thing is about a week away. I must be whacked.

So, I rather silly-ly started a thread on DMB offering to do 5 free custom avies. Ah sure, that sounds perfectly fine. But I'll be off the internet for 2 nights. 2 nights internetless = MAD nights. I'll miss out so much from the net. I guess it would be fun with my primary school friends. We're going to Escape Themepark, to watch... Shutter (UGH UGH UGH, jg, i hate you), and after shutter, we're going to walk around Pasir Ris Park when is dead dark. Brilliant. Raawr. Nevermind. I sincerely apologise to those I had promised the avies. I assure you they will be done right when I come back.

Brilliant.

I made these today... *pleased* The first is an avie for Yue, because we all don't want to see her using a shitass avie from a pathetic stuckup arse (who apparently thinks that being English gives her a right to be stuckup. hoho)

And then I made 2 blends for a blend challenge. I love these blends, they look like a complete different style, but yeah, celeb blends *shrugs* I don't know if I'll win or anything, but fair enough.


I'd sure like to rant about this particular fucked up idiot on DMB. But I need to pack my stuff up for the chalet thingy. I will prolly blog at evanesco about anything else then.

heh heh

Snitched this off Xue's LJ

1. Choose 15 people from your friends list at random.
2. Write something about/to each of them.
3. Don't tell anyone who the statements are about. Good or bad. No matter how they beg!
4. But please do try to guess. That's what makes this fun.

By the way, I have 23 friends on tabulas. So yeah, prolly neglected a good bunch xD

(*grins* Click to see the statements AND I KNOW THEY'RE OBVIOUS. Whatever)

Guys. ning. more

I should stop rambling about guys. But they annoy the heck outta me.

Firstly, I scared a guy away by ignoring him because I was afraid his girlfriend (my best friend in primary school) would misunderstand or something. It took him long to realise I was ignoring him becasue he kept smsing me, "Wah. So dao (err... I don't know how to explain ah?!" Bleh.

Secondly. Another guy is being a freak.
(Break for chat excrept)

And so you see... rah

Anyway more ranting
1. My eye is ... blah.
2. I'm actually really tempted to buy a canvas to paint on. Reasonably large at that. I haven't got inspiration or anything but bleh, I just feel like painting
3. My camera spoilt
4. rahhh

Rah rah rah

Rahhhh

I finished reading "The Tiger's Child" by Torey Hayden over the night. It just kept me tearing and crying -____- it's not even funny. Mind you, I don't CRY reading books! And so I figured that I really enjoy books about emotionally disturbed kids. I must be insane. To those who don't know, "The Tiger's Child" is a sequel is "One Child". Rah, you go find the summary yourself. I'm too lazy to write one. It's a great book. Torey Hayden isn't all a great writer or anything, but the story is touching and thought-provoking. And it's non-fiction. Bleh.

Now I've got to read "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown and then "The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan. I was about to pick up a book, "About a Boy" by Nick Hornby at the bookstore yesterday until "The Tiger's Child" caught my eye and I forgot about Nick Hornby o_O; Don't kill me, yue. Rah, I love that bookstore thingy. It has all the books I can't find in the regional library. So I'm going to visit that place more often now! Yay.

I never thought I'd like to read much .___. oh well...

I need to catch up with my academic life next year.... rah

Fridae Snowball.04 cancelled

This news isn't exactly new, it's pretty old, in fact (yeah, I know 4 days doesn't seem very long ago)

http://fridae.com/newsfeatures/article.php?articleid=1364&viewarticle=1

Fridae is extremely disappointed with the response we have received, which, in the absence of any illegal act, is a blatant show of discrimination against homosexuals in Singapore.

*sighs* This is a governmental decision. Not the nation. Perhaps the society, but be aware that this is a sweeping statement that takes only 1 side.

I'm pretty upset that the government had rejected the appeal still. Why? Because they were afraid of the AIDS' epidemic. The government is ... pathetic. I detest the new cabinet.

Homosexuality. Singapore being a conservative nation. Look at the society, look at everyone. We ARE conservative. But these varying views. We have to learn to accept the new ideas (not that homosexuality is anything new) that are part of life.

http://tvnz.co.nz/view/news_health_story_skin/458344%3fformat=html

The AIDS epidemic.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), there are about 4,000 people in Singapore with HIV, and less than half of them have been diagnosed, he said.

Look at this. 4000. I'm aware that this is the government's actions to prevent such epidemic to even start, which is good. I'm not going to brand it as paranoia because it's a practical approach. Many in the Singapore now still think this is an act of paranoia, requiring HIV tests for all pregnant women... etc etc. And I'm going to believe that it's the government's fault. I'm not ungrateful. I'm grateful for these actions, but they are not accompanied with sufficient explanations. There are still an ignorant and stubborn bunch who will refuse these tests, who will still blame the government for being so paranoid. And the govenment's decisions so far... they just come vomitting to the society, not giving the nation approperiate time to accept and understand. They have their own private discussions, not even with the slight mention in the papers or anything, and out of the sudden they decide it's time to implement these schemes. They spend a week doing so. First day, showing just SOME statistics. Next day, they rant on about the importance. The next few days, the implementations of those schemes just come rolling in. Same goes for the education system.

*sighs* This is troubling... and my whole rant is senseless.

And they just make all connections. "AIDS is indirectly related to homosexually". Heck. AIDS is related to all terms of sex. We should just ban sex in singapore. Oh oops, aren't we looking for babies? Oh no...

BLEH.... Nevermind *sighs* Shan't continue the rant cos i'm not making sense at all.

Bleh

I was just reading HsiWen's blog a minute ago and I burst into laughter seconds after. I get too easily amused .___o

You're about to enter my blog.
WOOHOO!

And so I sensed sarcasm immediately -__-

oh yes. i would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the spider and cockroach that i killed yesterday and this morning respectively. i know both of you were just minding your own business walking around the house, but since i am terribly frightened by your kind, my first instinct was to swat you so that i would never have to see you again. mr spider, i think it was very stupid of you to appear in front of me again. when i first saw you on the monitor, i didnt dare to do anything to you because i was afraid i would knock over daddy's crystals. but then, you just had to revisit me while i was talking on the phone, and when there was tissue so conveniently near me. very stupid decision i must say.

Okay Hsiwen dear, go mourn.

----

You know? I kinda miss school. Not just KINDA miss school, I miss school already but I'm not in the mood to study. I need to get myself into the mood though. Look, I've been sleeping at 6am and walking up at 3pm. It's a tad too ridiculous. *mutters* And I haven't started looking through my textbooks.

Seems like finals are ovre for Yue. Ally? Bleh finals are so... blah. But at least yours takes up only 25%

Rah nothing to blog about. I'm so boring. I'm rambling. I'm not making sense but whatever

Blah.

Alright list form just to make it quick.

1. I won't be online that often but I will still try to blog as usual. Have people to go out with, holiday homework to complete, and next year's stuff to study... And I just rented more books. Japanese lesson starts soon. I'm just starting to feel stressed @_@
2. I got into the blending mood again... so there're 2 more blends for blend challenges.

I don't really like the first blend's style, but that was just experimental... Bleh, the second one will be made into a layout soon...
3.
n_n I'm glad just with that
4. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG CONNIE IS IN 3/4!!! *is crazy*
5. My mom's making me drink strange tonics.
6. School is starting and I try not to faint everytime I think of it...
7. My mom got Benzley (7-yr-old brother) 2 hamsters for christmas since he requested so. They're so cute, but my camera is dead. *sighs*
8. I figured that for christmas, my mom will just give me a few hundred bucks for me to spend on my own since I still can't make up my mind besides desperately wanting a dog.
9. I think that A. Math is ... BLAH, I just finished reading and practising the first 2 chapters. I like my new history book and of course, my chemistry book!
10. Don't ask me how I'm going to cope next year or I'll scream.

bleh

I'm going to revamp evanesco.org instead of creating a new site. I still need to figure out how to use astrelle.net and raawr.net ... Otherwise I'll just sell them. I really like raawr.net though @_@ ah well. It will then defeat my purpose of getting a reseller.

The rest, I'll just blog list form once more.
1. I pre-ordered Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince last night... and I canceled the order this morning because the shipping was just ridiculous. It's almost the cost of the book itself (after that 40% off of course). I figured I can easily get it locally for much MUCH MUCH cheaper. I mean, the book's gonna be out 7 months later -.- ...

2. MY MOM GOT ME A PULLIP. Goodness, I must be insane, getting my mom to pay $100+ for a doll. She thinks I'm insane too, so she's killing some part of my allowance. *jumps about excitedly*

3. I think I'm a little sick in the head. You see, my brother Benzley (primary 1) got 2 hamsters as pets, remember? And when MY hamsters died in the past, he never cried (okay, he cried once) or something but 2 nights ago, he accidentally plucked out his hamsters whiskers and he burst into tears out of guilt. DAMN, i burst into laughter learning that -.-

4. Went out with Connie yesterday. First we went to IMM's Daiso cos everything there's $2, and cos we're cheap junkies, we got prezzies there. Then we went to Orchard. Let me tell you... It took at least 5-10 minutes to walk 5metres. It's THAT pathetic. It was so crowded. I expected it to be empty cos it's christmas eve -.-

5. I LOVE MISA, MY SECRET SANTA!! <3 <3 <3

6. Merry Christmas everyone!!!

I love my Pullip! But pretty unfortunately, my camera just died on me. It's not going to get fixed anytime soon. I've been taking pics with my cellie for the sake of rubbing my pic-desperation off. But *screams* I still can't figure out how to configure MMS for my phone model. DAMN LG ELECTRONICS!
