Disgusted

QUIT IT

Right now, I'm seriously disgusted by this group of chinese tourists. Know those lip gloss testers they have? TELL ME. Honestly - tell me! Do you try them on your lips?! HELL NO! They were like trying it on their lips then smacking their lips, wiping them off with their shirt then trying on another color. Oh no man. I was like WTF! I wanted to buy lip gloss and I was just totally turned off.

But anyway. My mom and I were just shopping at Missha, this Korean make-up brand that is my mom's latest obsession. Quoteunquote - "Eh, the stuff here are so damned cheap. Their designs are unique! AH COOL COLORS TOO! SO GOOD! SO CHEAP! EHHH VERY GOOD!" Ah yes. She spent over a hundred dollars there, because she bought some random cream thing for her face, "EH SO CHEAP! SMELLS SO GOOD! IT MAKES MY SKIN SO NEN!" Yeah. But the cosmetics there are honestly really good, and very cheap. JOY!

After that we caught War of the Worlds. It's not too bad a movie, but it can be a turnoff for some. I'm not much a fan of science fiction, but the movie was pretty cool. I'm not going to spoil anything, but despite it being cool, the movie isn't worth the hype. I still think Tom Cruise still looks really short and ugly - such a waste for (young and pretty) Katie Holmes.

And oh I've got a picture here :D It's just Benzley sometime back. I put on makeup for him! Black Eyeliner + Blue & Peach Eyeshadow + Lipgloss. HEH!

It's such a bad picture though ); He wouldn't stop moving.

Uh. NEW LAYOUT

Toss me around, hear my frowns. See my soul ripped itself apart.

Uh wheee, new layout. How very interesting. It's nothing too different from the previous since I basically just change the image and colors, but it still took me an hour or so to complete it. I don't really like it very much, so expect a change soon. I would've dumped the layout, but I kinda like the image and I was halfway through coding before realising that hey, I don't like it very much. ;_; Well, unless someone wants to recode the entire layout for me with that image. Bwaha!

NEWS: chum is having an affair with yue-baitch!
And to deny it she says that I've been humping Flumbah. Ally, Chum is out to defame us! HUMPING. Where EVER did you learn that, Chummie. Months ago you didn't even know what condoms were. *shakes head* Kids these days...

Okay this is a quick update. I hate this layout pretty much... X_X So who knows, it might be changed tomorrow or something. But we'll see about that, I'll be going to Starbucks to study again :D:D:D

Somehow.

Long entry!

Chinese has got to be the most fun lesson this year (SURPRISE SURPRISE). I mean we used to dread it. But now with laoshi's pregnancy, she's always late for class. XD And now with the new O level format, we need not learn any words or whatnot. So we were just chatting and chatting most of the time. We touched areas on abortion and pregnancy, but laoshi was so candid about everything, it scares me quite a bit. Alright, I'll spare you the bits. Oh come on, it trains us for our oral exam. Laoshi was like "希望你们可以在口式的时候这样讲话!" (I just hope all of you will be able to speak like THAT for your conversational topics during your O level Oral exam!)

And so you see, Connie and I were at Starbucks, Macdonalds and her parents' office practicing our 新闻话题 and 日常话题. Was just stuttering all the way (yeah, with my buddy as my invilgilator). It's not much a consolation that O level Chinese Oral for my class is one day before my birthday. How pleasant, huh!

Alessa asked me why I still bought my Black Esprit tote when I know that everyone else will have it anyway. It made sense to me, despite the design's disturbing simplicity, it seemed to appeal to the masses. I guess the only reason why I got one for myself is because it's comfy, and big. Well, so 2 days ago, at Northpoint (the exact place where I purchased my darling -new- black esprit tote) I saw 4 other girls/ladies/women/females/whatnot having the same bag. *scoffs*

I have another bag about that size, but it's bright red - certainly not something you'd carry off with a blue pinafore and white blouse. I was planning to bring it to school today, but I decided that I won't try. I love totes, with every reason to! See, I like carrying it on one shoulder - it serves a physical reflection of my very much unbalanced lifestyle. (No girls, I'm kidding.) I just like being about to hug it in front of me. I hope you won't call this another one of my insecurity problems! I know - I get several weird glances on the train in the morning when I heave a sigh and hug my tote tightly like a plushie, but who cares, I'm comfortable hugging my tote.

I should mention that I slept at 3am last night. I woke up at whooping 5 - HYPER (and dancing around class, chirpily greeting every early bird to class). Well, I had lots of bread the night before, so maybe my sugar level just shot way up high. The energy kept me going. I didn't sleep in any classes! Much joy to that! But okay, that's besides the point. I think I need to get more sleep. The whole irony to that is that I got to bed at 11pm - sharp. And I never fall asleep till hours later. Nevermind about that. Come on, who doesn't know of my amazing nocturnal habits anyway!

School today was pretty slackish. I talked about chinese. English was more or less like chinese, because I personally love listening to stories from teachers. I think Ms Shanthi found out that the whole last row, okay lets just say Me and Alessa. We were both just staring into space. Then Alessa was being a total freak, shaving her eraser with her penknife and she accidentally cut herself. I saw her finger and I was like "HOLY CRAP ALESSA!" and I freaked out. (... actually the first thing that came to my mind was the Alessa cut herself intentionally, but that was stupid, honestly.) To quote Alessa: "I ended up with a very bloody finger and scared the hell out of poor Ningy. She was like: OMG. ALESSA ALESSA. And I was desperately trying to shut her up while staring at the blood drip down my middle finger." So yes. That wasn't the only cut Alessa got on her fingers today. Shan't elaborate. She's, you know, strange and very much accident-prone.

Periods. *coughs* Rae mentioned in DMB that: Caffeine is also a nono when you have your period. I think it had something to do with your blood flow o.O. I was like O______O NOOO Tell me you are kidding! Everyday of my present period, I've been having at least a cup of Starbucks (size varies everyday. Grande, Grande, Venti, Tall). Aye. This disturbs me. Nevermind ning, chill. It's just a period, it'll be over in a few days. Yes, ning? Yep. Now ning, stop talking to yourself

On a lighter note. I've been having so much to blog lately, because I've been carrying around this journal thing and so whenever I catch something remotely weird/interesting/cool/whatever I just write it down, so I remember them all. Where else to talk about them other than my blog?

Yes, did I mention that saying "Hi Delle" in class very often is cathartic. It sure is. (It's a matter of whether or not you have a cool classmate called Delle still *winks*)

Are you crying?

Was it what I believed that shaped what I see before me? Because...

Went to send Gill off today ): So gonna miss her. I think the most insane was the period of time when she sat behind me in class, and she'll look at my bra colors like everyday. "Hey it's pink! You're a pig today!" "Hey it's black and white, you're a zebra/panda today!!!" LOL Good old days. Now 2 CCE girls have gone...

But anyway, I'm just uploading two pics!

Isn't she just PLAIN adorable. I was just melting with her cuteness. The cutest is that she has a twin brother, but her brother isn't as socialable (says her mom) XD I think she's gill's family friend or something, but she's really cute.
After that we went to get chocolates.

Needed something to get that whole sad feeling away from the whole bunch of us.

I took 2 videos today on the car when my dad was sending me home from the airport.
#1 --- Just on the road
#2 --- Reaching my house (love the turning effects here)

Oh well. I'll be off to look at more houses.

Hate changes but adaptable enough

Mommy!

Today was such a tiring day!

Here's just a random post because I just felt like updating. It's about my mom (and dad) this time, the random stuff my mom says that occasionally makes me smile. Some are said in chinese.

1. Mom: Remember to drink the Chicken's Essence tomorrow morning.
Mom: Well if you want, you can drink a bit of red wine everyday
Me: HUH!? *shocked* REALLY?!
Mom: Yah lah, as long as you don't drink outside home and get drunk
Me: AHAHA! OKAY! *beams*
Mom: Red wine is good for the heart!
Me: *beams and thinks: HAH! New diet to improve my heart, how cool is that*

2. Mom: Meimei is so spoilt, but you're worst. You're so violent and stubborn! You know when you were young, whenever you're unhappy or upset you'll pull your own hair till whole clumps come off and pinch yourself till you get bruises.
Dad: YEAH! And you're always so stubborn, refusing to apologise everytime. I think you're the kid that I caned the most!
Me: HAH! *pouts and thinks: gee, thanks dad*
Oh come on, I guess that's where I got my uh stubbornness, huh!

3. Me: Aiyah, I'm so tired!
Mom: Oh tomorrow you don't go school lah!
Me: *shocked* Cannot lah!
Mom: *sighs* Okay lor, you drink your chicken essence lor, eat breakfast la. Do your chinese homework tomorrow morning or something. SLEEP NOW!
Me: *bangs head*

Uneventful Day

*coughs* Today wasn't a very eventful day. Okay - maybe it is. 1. I feel bad. I slept like all lessons except Chinese (cos she was talking about oral, I can't possibly not listen). Mr Teh poked me with his ruler thrice. Ms Shanthi said "Up! No more lying down on the table" twice. Mr Tang didn't say anything when I was sleeping but when I was half-awake from the sleep, he said "If you see your friends sleeping, please give them a light pinch!" XD 2. Okay. So after chinese we were supposed to leave to go meet Ms Low to go for the AEP fringe activity. Laoshi let us off real late, so I was panicking real bad, I ran ahead of my friends from St Raphael's to St Gabriel's to our classroom. I saw Ms Liew there and I was like "I'm so sorry Ms Liew, I have to leave the class." then I panicked again, so I screamed "OH MY GOD WHERE IS CHERE!" And Chere gave me a confused look "And I was like OH GOD CHERE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! THE BUS FREAKING LEAVES AT 1! (it was 12.50pm then)" Yes, I was screaming across the class. Then I quickly packed my stuff up and then screamed for Chere to hurry. I took a glance back and OH GOSH I saw Ms Teow and Mrs Chu. And I cursed under my breath. Then I dashed out of the classroom ignoring Ms Teow and Mrs Chu's prescence and said "Ms Liew I am so terribly sorry, I'll go now. Thank you, so sorry!" in my usual frantic flapping mode. The whole problem was that I screamed across the class, I didn't greet ANY teachers when I barged into class besides saying "MS LIEW OH NO I AM LATE I NEED TO GO NOW! SO SORRY!" And I was just totally rude. I think I'm going to go apologise to Ms Teow during assembly tomorrow. Shit, I feel so stupid. 3. AEP Fringe Activity. Chalk art - museum courtyard. It rained. Go figure. 4. Then after that I went to town to have dinner with Eunice. We had such a good chat. I didn't think I had told anyone that much about what's going on and had Eunice rant and chat too. Such a relieving chat, and we both also admit that we miss CCE outings lots. ): We ought to have one. Those meetings are like therapy, the more fun form. Got home late. I swore we waited at least 40 minutes total for 167 (one part, I just took the bus to Eunice's place then waited for 167 there) 5. Laoshi said we should eat chocolates before going for oral tomorrow XD "Ke yi jie ya" *beams*

Joy

1. :D Thanks Yue n___N

2. CHINESE ORAL O LEVEL Okay. I did okay for the passage, I just wasn't able to read 1 word, which I was pretty cool about. I was pretty nervous reading the passage, I was trembling so bad I felt it was pretty evident since my voice was just really shaky. It was pretty bad if you ask me, I had so many blunders, but I thought it was alright, at least I read with some feeling. I calmed down a bit after that though.

Then the 新闻话题 was 年轻人对国家大事不认识 (about youths not showing interest in political matters) or something along that lines. And I was like OH CRAP. Cow and I thought that it was already tested X_X So I didn't really bother looking through, though I got a general idea of the outline of the points. That went pretty good I guess.

Then the 日常话题 was 公园 (park) and the -nice- teacher asked me if I have parks near my house, then she smiled at me, then I smiled back. Then in my mind I was like "WTF What kinda question is that!?" then I chuckled out loud while managing a "No". Oh man, I can't believe I did that. I was then asked whether Singaporeans make good use of the parks and what I see in the parks. So I said that uh the flowers and trees are very beautiful and I see alot of people cycling etc. I didn't really describe to much detail besides adding that it's a good comfortable place. Then after that when I asked whether Singaporeans make good use of the parks, I said something along the lines of being too busy to make full use of the parks and I said that thrice! Oh man. I was just knocked out, and I didn't know what else to say. I swear the examiners were exchanging weird glances. Then after that I, the oh-so-pessimistic, talked about how the park-goers aren't very considerate and like to pluck flowers, vandalise and toss rubbish all around. But the examiner had a smile that returned from the scary repeating-the-same-thing-thrice experience, so I guess it wasn't too off-topic.

Well the oral paper was fine. I'm so relieved that it's over. Phew!

(Behind the cut, all the rest:
3. Dissecting the heart
4. Ms Tan's talk
5. Nicxy's SMS
)

*bounces*

Such a random stonish day.

Chinese Listening Comprehension O levels was freaking crap. They speaking CHINESE so bloody fast - and expect us to process, understand and shade the stupid oval within such a short time frame. I couldn't concentrate, my mind was just drifting. It was pretty tough though.

After that I headed off to Plaza Singapura. Stoned at Starbucks where I met some really interesting people
1) Financial Consultation that sounded like counselling
2) Spanish-speaking (can speak english too) couple with 2 english-speaking kids. This hot angmoh little boy kept telling riddles and making his dad ask him too. And sometimes he'll be like "Oooohh That's a cool joke!" He looked 5ish, ah.
Then I roamed around Plaza Singapura myself. Sometimes it just feels so good to be alone, ya know?

Now I'm debating with myself. Should I go to Baybeats the girls tomorrow? I mean Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince comes out tomorrow. Baybeats 5.30pm. I don't know if I can finish reading it, otherwise I'd be too preoccupied. I don't know if I should go - honestly. Still debating yes.

Am very upset. Vanity sets in. I gently combed my hair with my fingers and THIS amount of hair came out... in my hand. Honestly - WTF?!

More strands came out after that picture, but not as much as THAT in one go.

Ladeeda

Hoho. I updated my sidebar. Which now says that I'm fifteen. I don't really like the number fifteen much, reasons aplenty. But who cares. I'm going have to come to terms with it o_o. I still think that I am only a day older, everyday. It makes celebrating birthdays as redundant as posting that you reached your 1000th post on DMB and whatnot. But nevermind, all's cool - 15 years and 2 days old I am XD

I've decided to attend Baybeats with Alessa, Zee, Grace etc. Grace sorta coerced me into going. I'll just go to soak in the atmosphere, I haven't exactly been to gigs like these. And I got pretty excited with the idea of getting to stay out late night with friends, love those times to bits. Somehow I just like the feeling of getting home really late alone. It got my mom pretty freaked last year with my numerous midnight home-coming experiences. I never really bothered to tell her where I was and I didn't answer her calls and all. She ended up calling the school *coughs*

Anyway. Am reading Harry Potter, just like at least 10% of the world is. It's pretty bad this book. The first part of the book has been really really dry and a big drag. Until I reached the end of "The Slug Club". It's not too bad. I'm pretty slow. I woke up at 9, went to get the book. Got back, fell asleep reading Chapter 2. Slept for 3 hours. Woke up again to read.

Now I shall be going to prepare to go off to Baybeats now :D

Baybeats HOHO!

[ahlianmode] WAH LAO EH GRACE! [/ahlianmode] You were the one who told me to go for Baybeats lor! You abandoned us for shopping *prods*

Baybeats was pretty fun. There were like "stages" to the entire day. It was such a long day though, I'm terribly drained at the moment.

First, we met up in town where Zee and I shopped for Danny's prezzie, and went bonkers due to sizes *coughs* Then met Al, Val and Uni, took the train and headed off to the Esplanade. On the way, we each got a piping hot Chicken and Mushroom Pie! JOY!

Set for Glory. First performance. Lead Singer - hot but short (just slightly taller than me?) and 16-17, -quoteunquoteval- the perfect age! Then it started to drizzle, so we hanged around. We did nothing all the way till like 7 to 8 besides roam around aimlessly, not being able to squeeze into the crowds. Saw camp instructor *coughschokescoughsFAINTS*, krys' eyecandy and lots of other people. After that everyone else left besides krys, al and me.

Headed off to the rest of the performances like Brand New Sunset and Brandtson. During which there were dazzling fireworks, it really rocked XD Al and Krys went totally fangirlish o_o "oooooo pretty *hopshops*" Anyway, Brandtson is from -quoteunquoteMC- US of A (such a strange way of calling USA, but nevermind). And they have this sexy accent that is just ooo-irresistable. After that Krys left and we roamed, stoned, then went to watch Brandtson again - alot hotter.

Myk: Hey man. Sorry about that. While singing the song I saw a bat fly by and I laughed a bit. Didyall see that? I couldn't help it. I mean, hey that's pretty funny huh! So I'm not laughing at you, really.

Awww! Okay ning shall stop gushing *avoids alessa's gaze*

Lotsa pics today.


That's a retarded picture of Val and me kissing teh sexy tree.

I feel so evil. I spoilt the Harry Potter story for all of them - told zee, al, val, krys. "hee... -long beard- SO SEXY" XD I'm only halfway through the book. Tcchhh could've finished the book long ago!

Mad encounters[

Love Love Love Love Love Love Love makes the world go round!
Krystle came up with this "dance" to that verse and I made amendments and inspired her! She was dancing to that the whole time at Burger King yesterday haha, there were so many people staring at us. So I was like "Krystle!! Shh! Realised we're in public yet!?" and then she goes "I'm YINING! I'm in 3/4 IJ TOA PAYOH AND I LIKE TO DANCE" or something along those lines *coughs* <3 the dance, shall do a full one once I manage to get the mp3 or something.

The mad encounters. Okay. So I was in the toilet at St Michael's Block. Peacefully doing my business. Until I heard so much of hustle and bustle and lots of noises. So I figured people were urgent for the toilet, so I hurried out. Guess what I saw the moment I got out! Whole bunch of girls. In their bras and underwear. DAMN! I was like UHHHH SHIT. It's actually the Girl Guides rushing to change into their attires, since they are always so strict with uniformed groups. Then I wiggled my way through, muttering "Excuse me! Excuse me please! So sorry!" Then I heard someone say "Damn. You're so unlucky to be here in the toilet at this time!" I'm thoroughly disturbed I tell you - because there are like at least 20 girls in there all in their undies. Maybe it's just me and how conservative I am X_X

Then again. I was at J8 planning to call my mom up. The payphones suck I tell you, I didn't end up calling my mom at all cos none of them worked. But that's besides the point. Anyway. So we were at this phone. I put in my 10cent coin and it didn't come out or get accepted so I banged the phone a little and I got a 20cent coin. Then after that I put another 10cent coin to try it out again. Once more, it got stuck! So I banged again. AND GUESS WHAT. 70cents came out. XD This reminds me of the time when I paid 60cents for a packet of milo from the screwy vending machine - 6 packets came out.

(Zee's randomness inspired us!
HOHO Pedophile Alessa

HAH!

Today was an amusing day. HOHO!

I was pretty tired through the day, but I didn't want to go home, so I went to town with Uni. After she left I went to CCE-Wisma to study but I couldn't focus, partly because their Mocha Freeze tastes so bad (But I finished it anyway). Then after that I just could stand the whole place cos it was so bitchy, you know? Like I see groups of girls/women talking like us CCE girls and there I was alone. It wasn't even that I was alone then, but I just really miss that place. I didn't exactly get nostalgic or anything, but I just couldn't focus the whole time - so I figured that I ought to give up.

I walked from Wisma all the way to Plaza Singapura (woah, that's like 2 MRT stations). Was pretty frustrated, I just couldn't define why the whole day so then I went to Clark Quay (? I don't know what Quay it is lah!) to just roam, and sit around. I spent just a little more than 2 hours just sitting there by the Singapore River.

2 weird encounters.
1. This tourist came up to me and asked me what tree was she sitting under. LOL!

2. Okay this is the most amusing. I was just sitting. I mean, when you're by the river you look at the river, don't you?! So this old weird dude came up to me and said "小妹妹啊!你有心事啊?不要跳海呀!" (Hey girl! Is something bothering you? Don't drown yourself in the river okay!). I was like WTF?!?!?! I wanted to burst out laughing, but I figured that if I were to do that he'd think I'm insane. Then he walked away. I tried hard the whole time not to laugh to myself. It was so funny XDDD
