Good morning revival.

Did we create a modern myth

Did we imagine half of it

What happened then, a thought for now

Save yourself

Save yourself

The secret is out

The secret is out

To buy the truth

And sell a lie

The last mistake before you die

So don't forget to breathe tonight

Tonight's the last, so say good-bye

The secret is out

Good-bye

I'm so tired i could fall asleep in your arms
For a hundred years, and prince charming couldn't even wake me up.
So hush now, say goodnight
It'll be the last time, i see the light.
XOXO

Hyper-Insomnia-Para-Condrioid

Still in love with Boyslikegirls. And always will be.
Haha i sound so psycho, but sue me for all you're worth because their songs are really good okay (and it's not just the The Great Escape that's nice)

Gna prep for church soon (sorry the whole grey's anatomy lingo just got stuck in my head and it's taking a stroll down never-ever-EVER-land.)
&like, next sunday i gta go down to OAL for sme briefing. So they forwarded the email and there's around 9 people (including me) going so yay? Hahaa
Which means, i won't be in church.

January's a few days away & i'm just about ready to put down everything in year2007, save certain things.

What's a good song?
A good song is one that has great lyrics,with a good rhythm and tune. More importantly, different people have different good songs - but the songs that they consider 'good' probably makes their hair stand and their goosebumps to appear each time they listen to it. At least, that's for me.
It doesn't neccessarily have to be sung by someone with a great voice (it helps though, it helps) but the good song will definitely be good forever.
And of course, good songs are hard to come by, and are sometimes never on the top ten chart lists.

Oh and Hello Maria Sharapova. I can't wait to hear news about your outfit, your play and of course, your very infamous grunts.
Grunt your way to stardom.

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colours
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder(:

Baby got back

I am absolutely in love with Doc's vet - Finn something or another.
McVet, Mcsteamy, McDreamy, Mc-everything.

Your kiss might kill me

Thanks for everything. I know you can't detect the sarcasm i'm so feeling right now. so There. I'm being EXTREMELY sarcastic.

"All i've ever done is to be there for you guys, but when i need you the most..."

I need some inner healing or smethg. Smethg i can lose myself in. Like drugs, just not to that extent. Something to change my life. Something that will affect me forever.

Anyway it's a good day for Grey's Anatomy. I can feel it in my bones.
Plus, i realised today at work that i'm ALWAYS having 'double conversations'.
For example, today i was talking to Eliz (who is a total lifesaver - she gave me kisses! HAHA) and she was 'pestering' me and i was like, NO! But in my head i was going all 007 and saying (to myself. yeah whatever haha.)(Thank you cristina yang) " I could tell you but then i'd have to kill you"

Yes. Something like that. It literally happens all the time.

Seriously. I have some issues. Geraldine has some issues!

And that's when i start talking in person no.3.

WELL DONE>

Stardust

" I have done nothing; nothing that I did not do eighteen years ago. I was bound to you to be your slave until the day that the moon lost her daughter, if it occured in a week when two Mondays came together. And my time with you is almost done."
-Stardust, Neil Gaiman.

Everyone's harping me to watch stardust &i sadly, did NOT watch it.
Well, i'm reading the book now & it's SOOOO good! (:

Neil Gaiman has this way with words & i'm sure the movie wouldn't be able to potray his imagination altogether now.

I mean, i had to like, re-read that few lines twice before the full meaning sank in.

Anyway, it's almost the end of the year & then it'll be almost the end of jan. People have asked me if i've started packing & all i can say is, "i haven't got my luggage yet."

HAHA seriously, i don't know where to start. And fact is, i need sme rich boyfriend who will buy me stuff. I've got loads of stuff to get la.

And i'm gna start buying books again, no matter how much my mum's gna complain! And of course, i'll invest in my own set of Grey's Anatomy Cds & a few good movies at the same time.

Let's go watch I Am Legend! :D

Have a nice dayyyy

Too lazy to blog. Too lazy to tell you the details.

Sunday - Charis, dorothy &deb came over to stay at my place. We baked from NINE PM until SEVEN AM!
Monday - Christmas Eve &party at home
Tues - Christmas! Church &then party at germs place.
Weds - WORK. Met up with audrey &co. for CHILLI CRAB &then off to 2am:dessert bar for well, really expensive dessert.
Thurs - Work AGAIN. How lame can my life get anyway?

Okay goodbye. Can't wait for 1st of jan because 1. its the new year &2. i'm not working!
XOXO

Barbie's Letter to Santa :

Santa Claus
North Pole, North Pole
December 23, 2007

Dear Santa:

Listen you ugly little troll, I've been helping you out every year, playing at being the perfect Christmas Present, wearing skimpy bathing suits in frigid weather, and drowning in fake tea from one too many tea parties, and I hate to break it to you Santa, but IT'S DEFINITELY PAYBACK TIME! There had better be some changes around here this Christmas, or I'm gonna call for a nationwide meltdown (and trust me, you won't wanna be around to smell it). So, here's my holiday wish list for 2007:

Santa:

1. A nice, comfy pair of sweat pants and a frumpy, oversized sweatshirt. I'm sick of looking like a hooker.
How much smaller are these bathing suits gonna get?
Do you have any idea what it feels like to have nylon and velcro crawling up your butt?

2. A REAL man...maybe Justin Timberlake. Like omg, I'd rather take Tickle-Me Elmo over that wimped-out excuse for a boytoy Ken. And what's with that earring anyway? If I'm gonna have to suffer with him, at least make him (and me) anatomically correct.

4. Arms that actually bend so I can push the aforementioned Ken-wimp away once he is anatomically correct.

5. Breast reduction surgery. I don't care whose arm you have to twist, get it done.

6. A jogbra. To wear until I get the surgery.

7. A new career. Pet doctor and school teacher just don't cut it. How about a systems analyst? Or better yet, a public relations senior account exec!

8. A new, more 21st century persona. Maybe "PMS Barbie", complete with a miniature container of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and a bag of chips; "Animal Rights Barbie", with my very own paint gun, outfitted with a fake fur coat, bottle of spray on blood and handcuffs; or "Stop Smoking Barbie," sporting a removable Nicotrol patch and equipped with several packs of gum.

Ok, Santa, that's it. Considering my valuable contribution to society, I don't think these requests are out of line.
If you disagree, then you can find yourself a new bitch for next Christmas.
It's that simple.

Yours truly,
Barbie.

but of course,

Ken's Letter to Santa

Santa Claus
North Pole, North Pole
December 24, 2007

Dear Santa:

I understand that one of my colleagues has petitioned you for changes in her contract, specifically asking for anatomical and career changes. In addition, it is my understanding that disparaging remarks were made about me, my ability to please, and some of my fashion choices.
I would like to take this opportunity to inform you of some issues concerning Ms. Barbie, and some of my own needs and desires.

First of all, I along with several other colleagues feel Barbie DOES NOT deserve preferential
treatment - the bitch has everything. Along with Joe, Jem & Andy, I DO NOT have
a dream house, corvette, evening gowns, and in some cases the ability to change our hair style. I personally have only 3 outfits which I am forced to mix and match at great length.
My decision to accessorize my outfits with an earring was my decision and reflects my lifestyle choice.

I too would like a change in my career. Have you ever considered "Decorator Ken", "Beauty Salon Ken", or "Out Of Work Actor Ken"? In addition, there are several other avenues which could be considered such as "Samuel&Ken" , "GiodarKen", "Circuit Ken", "Bear Ken", "Master Ken".

These would more accurately reflect my desires and perhaps open up new markets. And as for Barbie needing bendable arms so she can "push me away," I need bendable knees so I can kick the bitch to the curb.

In closing, I would like to point out that any further concessions to the blond bimbo from hell will result in action be taken by myself and others. And Barbie can forget about having Joe - he's mine, at least that's what he said last night.

Sincerely,
Ken

Seriously.

This is not a goodbye some

"Oh, you're staying with her."
"Yeah. She's my wife."


"We cannot just abandon her. We have an obligation"
"..We have to let her go..."


"She asked me to..to tell you that.. She wanted you to know that if love were enough..that if love were enough, she'd still be here with you.."

This is not a goodbye song

Amanda Deserves to win! She's an awesome player, and though at times she behaves sneakily (as in the backstabbing and stuff LA) i STILL think she should be the the next Survivor.

And like, it's the season finale or smethg, &the last 4 survivors have been tgt frm the beginning.

Anyway, just to spoil it for you all, TODD WON (according to deborah &her friend haha) It's something because he obviously offended so many people.

So, here's how i earned my keep today :

1. Slack

2. Slack

3. Slack

It's true. I pretty muched bummed about for the majority of the time.

Well, just another week or so more to go before i'm out of that place!

Met rosamund after work and we went christmas shoppingggg!

It's christmas soon! I don't feel chrismasy though, it's really sad. I'm just not into the festive mood yet.

Come, peter pan, take me away to neverland (:

Jeremy Sumpter, you're my fav <3

Okay la not in a mood to blog right now. Back to survivor and then im gna feast on Grey's Anatomy! :D

" You don't know this yet, but it wasn't supposed to be this hard!"

Nice to meet you anyway.

The ending of The 40year old virgin is SO DUMB i HAVE to laugh - the part where they all sing and dance and the guys get REALLY gay.

Work today was gooooddddd for a change! Made new friends (: and of course the boss is funny as usual. Holiday tmr! Gta be in church in the morning &then there's cell gathering at my place.

Monday
Last day at SAS! Goodness it was really really really busy. We couldn't rest or eat or take toilet breaks. Rushed home, changed and had dinner with my dad (WHO IS SICK SEE I'MM NOT WEAK OKAY) and then went to school. Was supposed to have night walk at LOWER PIERCE RESERVOIR BUT THEN! Rained and rained and rained and then the committee cancelled the walk and changed it to school instead. Well, while the campers were doing who knows what, All the graduates played Laser Tag! Around school! SO FUN :D :D :D
What's more, most of the lights were off and the girls &azizi were in one team, while the rest of the guys were in the other team. It was the girls first time to play SO OF COURSE WE LOST LAH. HAHA but i got ranked FOURTH which is something okay!

Oh, and kenneth: LIVERPOOL LOST! HAHAHA

And what's up with people nowadays? Is it just singaporeans or is the whole world learning to act extremely dumb? fyi, NOT COOL! Why would ANYONE in the right state of mind want to act like he/she doesn't have a brain just so he/she can get someone to notice him/her? Don't you people get it? When you act dumb, people actually THINK you're dumb. If you're apparently TOO dumb to figure that out, I'M TELLING YOU NOW (morons)
So please, spare me - Spare the world, and don't act like the cat came and ate your brains or smethg.

Plus, i'm only watching the first season of Grey's Anatomy. Like, finished the first 5 episodes only lah. I know i'm lagging, but just Five episodes gives me a sense of accomplishment. I'm sure if i were a Sim and i get to do everything on The list, i'd be GREEN. And if you don't play The Sims or you haven't touched it before or you've never even heard it before, then yeah, welcome to loserville. (I'm only your guide; i'm too smart to belong there. What does smart mean? Oh well you really don't have to know)

HAHA damn i'm on abusive mode. No offense people, and i don't give two-shit because i've probably already offended you anyway!

I feel like blogging a really long post but i shall not do it. Why, you say? It's too cold and i prefer things to be kept in my brain.

AND I SAW BELINDA TODAY! :D :D :D

And i shall blog the next post in CAPS and EXCLAIMATION MARKS!

Peace out people.


"...It's such a high! I wonder why anyone does drugs.."
- Meredith Grey.


You're amazing, I'm attracted But I'm terribly distracted

I'll write you a song (:

I'm watching the 9pm show now. And though Tay ping hui's character really gets on my nerves, his smile still makes me melttt.
HAHA that sounds really psycho! He is after all, really old. Like, EXTREMELY OLD.
And he's acting with felicia chin again. And joanne peh ( Hee Hee Inside secret.)

Work at alps; very tiring. Very mundane. Totally routine. Anyway just 2 weeks or so and then i'll be done with it!
:D

XOXO

Stadium Arcadium

I forgot to post this really Saddening, not to mention, EXTREMELY Frustrating issue : Switchfoot is coming on the THIRTY FIRST OF BLOODY JANUARY.

Harvn told me a few nights ago and i'm like, WHATTTT. Hahaha but oh well, Deal with it geraldine.

Anyway, i'm catching the manutd vs liverpool match now. Not such a huge fan of soccer nowadays but HOW COULD I MISS THIS! I mean, i don't even recognise half of the people playing but still. Manu is Manu and Manchester United is so gna beat Liverpool's ass

Oh, how i enjoy watching people like my dad and the kenneths and a whole load of liverpool supporters suffer! MUAHAHAHA I bet their smarting now because tevez scored at 43 minutes and Liverpool so has to watch their hide.

With love, Geraldine :D

Cause life's not just rainbows and pretty flowers

OKAY.

Germs is back! I didn't go and meet her at the airport ): because i was SICK.
Okay so the night before i was watching survivor and pride &prejudice &by the time i slept it was around 1.30? 2+?
Yeah i woke up at 4 and started throwing up! It was gross i tell you. Apparently, it's food poisoning (i went to the doctor) and yeah, i threw up like, Seven bloody times just in the morning.

I'm feeling slightly better today, although i have a really bad headache. Fever's gone but so is my appetite.

Which is why i'm not in church. I feel guilty because i CAN go lah, just couldn't wake up =/

Okay my brain's abit screwed today. Not functioning properly.
XOXO

This city's made us crazy and we must get out

Tuesday
Work.
Back to SAS. The full time staff there are really...well, funny, if that's the simplest word to use on them.
After work though, i cabbed to Causeway to meet terence and varian. Bought earrings(: and caught Hitman. Terence was SUPPOSED to treat but then pay by nets cheaper so i paid, and he paid me back 12bucks, Which means that i still paid for myself anyway HAHA
Actually, it's all varian's fault. YOU LOUSY FREELOADER!

Hitman is such a crazily lousy show! I'm sick and tired of movies that have no start and no end, and i'm sure if not for my really smart brains, i wouldn't be able to figure the plot HAHA but yeah, if you're even contemplating because you like the action (which isn't even THAT good) and free show of boobs, i'm telling you, DO NOT WATCH IT!

But oh of course - The lead is really hot. Not exactly incredibly hot, but he's like michael scofield (note how i didn't say Wentworth Miller) - the intensity and the focused look. What's not to like, right?
I must add, Timothy Olyphant looks hot when he isn't bald too(:

Wednesday
Work. (What else?)
Our booth was moved to the centre because the teachers/parents were busy making popcorn for their students!
SO NICE RIGHT. Apparently the students' exams start the next day (today) and they were making popcorn and giving them away for FREE to the students!
Why don't singaporean teachers do that HUH HUH HUH! I'm sure a little popcorn once a year will make the students like the school even more. And you guys complain about why we're so selfish! Sheesh HAHA
Anyway i went home really early and even got to catch friends :D
Went for dinner with family and then to rosamund's house for awhile &back home.

Thursday (today)
Work. (Can my life get any more boring?)
It was okay and i finally had a change in food taste for once. Had naan (To all gundus out there - it's a type of indian food) Bloody hell its so expensive! It's like, 4.80? And when subway had their promotion, they sold a sandwich, a drink &TWO COOKIES for 4.90! What a rip off right! HAHA but it's not bad lah.

Anyway, i'm like, super into subway cookies these days. No doubt it's expensive, but it's definitely comparable to Famousy Amosy. If you haven't tried it yet, it's Incredibly good!

Went to visit my grandmum &had dinner with my aunts, mum &nephew. Realised that all young children act the same way. They, at a young age, learn what 'Face' means and they don't wna throw it to the ground and jump on it. Nope, like everyone else, 'throwing face' will Kill them. Defeats them, kills them.

This is what i realised: For example, you're eating a packet of oreos. Your young nephew/neice/cousin/sister/brother/whatever comes up to you and goes,
" I LIKE OREOS "
You look at them, offer them one and then they SHYLY, i repeat, SHYLY (with a rather cute but *ahem* 'disgusting') smile, takes one frm you.

They don't ASK you for it! Instead, they use a more..more subtle method and appears to be voicing out their comments. Of course you have to offer them an oreo! Like, where did they acquire that skill from anyway?
However, it happens all the time!

And i also realised the power of influence. My 9 year old cousin have mastered the art of SARCASM since who knows when. And be it a year ago, or a month ago, she is Really REALLY good at it! I don't even know when the sarcasm thing started but it was obviously mastered because every sentence she says knocks me out of the ring. It's really amusing actually.


You know, i actually do miss school. I miss the crazy mugging for exams and textbooks. It's really ironic but after working for roughly 2 weeks++, i realised that i Do enjoy studying more than working.

Oh and my brother POP-ed already. I woke up this morning hearing sounds, like soccer nonsense coming frm the tv. I realised it was my brother, and i woke up at 6.30. Seriously! He's so used to army life he has to wake up and play the computer? (that's what he was doing anyway)

Plus, it's 2 weeks left to christmas and i haven't gotten Anything yet. Not yet in the panicky mode but this year, i shall make cards(:

Okay, maybe not. I may just resort to postcards. Wait, i do that all the time =/

And the weather's really cold these few days. It's a december thing apparently. But today's weather was good; all sunny and cheery but it wasn't like extreme, it wasn't like, June y'know.

Alright, some show's on HBO now. Can't remember the title, but camoran diaz is in it. It was in the cinemas this year lah.
Oh it's The Holiday. How could i forget! A-listers starring in it! Jack Black, Kate Winslet, JUDE LAW JUDE LAW JUDE LAW and Camoran Diaz of course.
Love the british accents. Always do, forever will :D


"I weep. I'm a major weeper!"

"...Crazy weather. Don't Get Blown away!"

Let's go on a road trip. Rendezvous.

*/edit





Have loved this song since forever. Verdes is an amazing person. Why isn't he as popular as sayyyyyy...beyonce?
Oh yea, because he doesn't have as big a butt.

And this song is not as irritating as the original. But the ellas still get to me. Ditto.



XOXO

Moonlight Sonata

These days i've got nothing better to do but Work.
Sorry to the clique because i stay so damn bloody far and work is totally draining - which is why i don't have much time to hang with.
Well, i may meet terence and a few others for movie tmr so yeah. I wna catch I AM LEGEND. Saw the thriller and it looks really good!

It's been raining, but that's not entirely unusual. My piano's getting really dusty at the moment because of the lack of usage. Furthermore i miss jamming sessions &shopping and basically bumming around at kovan macs. Walking away frm secondary school probably also means walking away frm your new life.
Well i can't WAIT for Christmas (Haven't done any christmas shopping yet) and of course, NEW YEAR! Can't wait for january to come because january itself means :

1. I don't have to work
2. I will be busy because i'm gna leave soon


Haven't been giving the leaving part much thought, which is really not all that good. I now have to Re-mentally-prepare myself because all the weeks of mugging for Os and then slogging out at work has left me very much sleep-deprived.

Let me go revisit my piano and attempt to figure out the intro of Taking Over Me (Evanescence)
Oh and terence, i want my piano book back!

And according to harvn, SWITCHFOOT IS COMING TO SINGAPORE next jan!
___________________________________

Someone please please please buy me the Richard Matheson novel - I Am Legend! All geeks slash book lovers will surely like vampire stories So yeah, something like that is very appealing. It doesn't even matter that i read it AFTER watching the movie!

XOXO

Lately did you ever feel the pain, in the morning rain, as it soaks you to the bone?

Okay my legs feel like total jello right now.


TODAY

Church was okay. Ended pretty early. Had rushed lunch at potong before going to parkway with family(:
Didn't get nothing much but my dad &bro got their stuff.
Went home, changed etc and left the house.
Gala dinner at Suntec Convention Centre. It was alright. Sat with the sec 4 girls, J2 girls and lydia :D Nice people.
Anyway saw people that i've not seen in a really long time! Like, Dew(: She still recognises me HAHA and she's so tall and pretty now. And dale looks a little like kenneth teo. And there's this 'Aunty Peggy' who apparently taught me when i was 2 years old. What, i don't remember Anything okay.

The cool thing was they hooked up to the net and skyped with a whole bunch of people! - Pastor Ernest Glass &wife, jon ng!, GERMS GERMS GERMS (HAHA), Alison, Wesley and joyce, Uncle Roger, Aunty Siong Mei, Maegan, Shaina and TIMOTHY! HAHA So nice to see them; frm US, Perth, Sydney, Europe &canada respectively.

We practically camwhored the whole way la. Abit typical. And the Youths were all dressed very nicely(: - Pretty dresses and suits for everyone. You'll never see them dress up this much normally.

YESTERDAY (sat)
I woke up early (As usual. So irritating GRRRR whatever happened to my holidays!) and met up karina at city hall mrt. Had lunch at marina, met pao, farhan, rufus and dinesh &walked to DXO. Saw a whole load of yuying-ians (: - NAT, SHIMA, The band of course etc.

Anyway, LoveCodeDiary wasn't all that bad. Can't compare actually because i didn't stay to watch the rest of the bands play. But their original song, Earthquake, was really good(:
Me and karina (ESPECIALLY KARINA HAHA) was crazy over the drummer! So good! (Hee Hee inside secrettttt. */meltttsss)

Went to town with karina where we shopped like, REALLY REALLY QUICKLY. Left to meet brother &michelle and cabbed dwn to church. AND THEN we bus-ed dwn to east coast. I gatecrashed dom's classmate's birthday party for awhile and then we went to parkway. Shopped and i also didn't get anything.

Okay my life is, like i've said millions of times, extremely boring.
I'm really tired now so yeah.sayonara.
XOXO

Why is this happening to me?

Awwwww survivor's so sweettttttt.
They allowed the last 6 survivors' loved ones to visit them! Oh man that's so nice :D

Anyway, This Is Life - eating snickers and watching survivor(:
And denyse finally won a challenge :D

The 6 last survivors are damn bloody thin now though, it's scary.

Work today was alright. More fun than usual because eliz was there. She's like, my brother's age and girls connect with girls better obviously.
After work i went to bryan ong's house for meeting. It was pretty good but i still think we need to work on mixing with the boys. After all most of us pretty much grew up tgt in church and apparently, the metal wall btwn the two genders have never been destroyed (Little manhattan haha). I mean, it's not as if we don't talk to each other, but we need to work on stuff lol

Had pizza and really great beehoon for dinner! Dunked javis into the pool because he's our camp commandant HAHA and like, Note to everyone: Do not dunk smeone in the pool with his spects on. Because if that happens, sme stranger will have to do it for you. And that's what the stranger did hahaha

Meeting: Part2 continued and yeah discussed mre stuff. My dad came to pick me upppppp He's so niceeeeee <3
And we dropped david and clarence too. And bedok IS in the East prayer partner HAHAHA

Gna meet karina tmr at city hall mrt so i really need to sleep sooonn!

Work ended later than usual today due to much confusion. It was raining super heavily &thus had trouble getting a cab.
Trained dwn to PS to meet my lovely cheryl (:
Shopped a lil looking for her 3 quart tights. Saw woof &ber too :D
Trained to kovan, pao-ed &went this fashion in search of more tights.
And then we had shaker shaker shaker fries! Tabaoed to pts' house where we talked and talked and laughed and talked. And did my nails.

The nails failed though. It's all screwed up already. So i'm going for another session tmr.
THANK YOU PTS <3

Okay back to tv for awhile and then BED BED BED

Never knew i could get so tired Every Single Day! Always wondered how people like juiwei could sleeep anywhere and everywhere, and now i know. Hahaha

Anyway these few days i only wna meet my pals, play bball with them, &then other than that, i want SOLITUDE. Like, travelling alone. Sorry to say but i enjoy working alone. I'm pretty much a control freak.

Hahaha okay that was pretty random. I need beauty sleep now - Goodbye eyebags.

Oh and i was just thinking about two very old stuff today - Party of Five &New Kids on the Block.

Okay Party of Five is this REALLY REALLY REALLY old show that they use to show! I can't remember much of it, impression isn't as deep as like, dharma and greg &friends - you know, stuff i used to watch when i was really young, before primary school even.

New kids on the block is this boyband that was extremely sucessful in the early 1990s? Yea i was probably too young lah but i remember my cousins (like audrey) going crazy over them. Oh anyway their lead singer Jordan Knight had this pretty popular single when i was, erm i think primary 2? 3?

Oh and WHO FORGETS 5IVE (boyband!) HAHA i just heard one of their songs playing on the airwaves late 2 nights ago. Not the We Will Rock You cover, but smethg just as popular. Can't remember the title though.

I need moolah for shopping purposes.

adieu!

And i know that it's so cliche, to tell you that everyday -

Two days working at SAS and i'm compelled to smile and say HI! to every person that walks by me.

SAS's really cool! It's like ten times the size of my school (okay la obviously) - They house SATAC, preschool &kindergarden, Intermediate school, middle school &high school. So it's pretty much everyone frm ages 3 - 20.
They have like, subway in their school and who knows how many cafeterias; A rugby field with a proper track. Tennis courts, and so far i've only seen their SS rooms. They have at least SIX SS rooms in the high school.
Plus, they have their own uniformed guard standing at the front of the school, holding a rifle.
Not that i'm surprised.


Business has been good. Today was realllyyyyy busy!
Oh and i went to help out with night games (p6 overnighter) ytd. It was, well, MESSY. And really smelly haha but very fun(:

AND THEY BLOODY CANCELLED TODAY'S 2A GATHERING!
I shall not rant and rave about it here but HELLO IT'S SO UNFAIR!
I rest my case.

Tmr's another long day. Work until around 4, will train dwn to town to meet bestfriend! :D
And then i'll go to pts' houseeee. Yay very nice(:


Oh and OF COURSE SAS houses sme REALLY hot guys! :D :D :D :D
The preschoolers are especially adorable though! And the girls all wear the same super short short short skirts that will get you shot if you wear it to your own local school. And it seems like practically every girl frm grade 4 and above wears plenty of make up (eyeliner, mascara &the likes)

Tiring, yes. Very fun and pays well. Get to see eye candies smemre.
OF COURSE WORK LAH

Plus, i seriously need to get a tan. My goodness i'm like so freaking white can. Who cares what they say in fairytales about the princesses all being As White As Snow.
This is singapore.

Men are frm earth,
Women are frm earth.
Deal With It.

XOXO

So here's your holiday

Work tmr.
Church today was good, as usual.
Message = bagus.

I'm in no mood to blog. It's not uncommon these days.

And bestf told me that there's a 2A gathering this tues
HOW COME I DON'T KNOW NUTS!

Okay la see you.


If this is what he wants and that's what she wants,
Then why is there so much pain?

Here we go again

Just watched Independence Day for like the 483u328915th time. It's such an awesome sci-fi flick! (yes, abit thick coming frm me)

So GB early in the morning today. Got to catch up with the GB clan and had lots of fun playing games and all. Haha i feel abit too overaged for all these though.

Anyway i trained down to expo to meet my parents with woof &pts who are currently working at the IT fair. Decided not to buy the laptop there because it's not worth it at all!
AND THEN i went to the john little mega sale thingum. I tell you, i spent like near 200$
MADNESS or what huh! Got a bag, marie claire shoes that they reduced frm 80 - 40$, a top frm esprit (half price too) and a belt. And my mum bought another belt thingy too. Errrmmm oh and bed linen stuff for sydney all.

So yea, i spent a bomb today, but thank God for vouchers.

Had dinner at the 'famous chicken rice stall' at changi. And then back home.

Oh GB today was at sme primary school (zhangde or smethg lah) and they had this wall thing with nursery rhymes (WHHATTTT HAHAHA)
And then i remembered this :


Rock-a-bye, baby,
On the treetop,
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock;
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall,
And down will come baby,
Cradle and all.

HAHA i never realised it sounded so.. so.. MORBID!
Sheesh what kind of a nursery rhyme is that!
Humpty Dumpty falling off that stupid wall and breaking his head - not exactly very educational or very nice to read to your kids. May result in excessive violence.

Speaking of violent kids, i swear singaporean kids are behaving like sme blood-thirsty creatures! Just the other day (at white sands i think) i overheard this erm, 5- 6(7 tops) boy telling the whole world about sme bloody event that actually happened to him or something. He was like frantically telling his mum smethg that goes like this - "....WAH ALOT OF BLOOD LEH! SO NICE!..."

Guess what i did. I obviously turned and looked. And then my eyes literally widened. His mum was just nodding her head absent-mindedly and shuffling him along.

First, the singlish. Why can't singaporeans not revert to stereotypes and speak good english! Why does I have to be IIE and you have to be EUU. Same what, 3 letters right.
I admit, i do use the short form thing but it's not exactly healthy for well, pretty much everything else.

Secondly, What's with boys' fetish for blood! (And cars)(And gaming)(And soccer for that matter haha) I mean, i look at all those war games people are playing these days. Take my brother for example. He plays dota like sme retarded kid who can only scream "run here!" or "run there!" or "ZHAO AR!"

So hello the people who rule this country. Do smethg about the english and at the same time, try to get parents to not let their kids be so violent. We don't want Singapore producing sme fascist or the next Hitler or smethg. Imagine one among us rising up and ordering all the singlish-speaking people who have black hair and black eyes and are short killed because He/she is exactly like that (if you get what i mean)


Okay my life is 100% certified boring.

Goodbye.

I'm ripe with things to say. The words rot and fall away.

Yet another exhausting day. I'm getting QUITE used to this lifestyle i guess - the waking up early and working for the next 9 hours, and then the 1 hour long trip home.

And then i have to go to woodlands for the next 2 weeks =/
I know i know it sounds bad because of the distance but i'm actually looking forward to it.

Anyway my boss is a very funny person. Her name is janice and she's young. PLUS she's totally like audrey! The similarities between them is rather shocking.

So like, Janice asked me to be at woodlands mrt at 8am on monday, and meet this other temp staff...(wait it gets better) that she has never met before! And that means i have no idea who in the world is he, and how he looks like. And she wants me to meet him and then we'll cab down to the american school thingum -.-
HAHA this is Definitely not my kinda t
hing. I know people who meet strangers they've met online and all but i don't do it. (dings, can you imagine what ding will say? hahaha!) yeah but i'm hoping that he'll be a nice english-speaking potato like me or i'll be stuck with people who usually speak chinese (not that it's a bad thing. I just lost touch of my cheena skills after... well, after chinese O's)

Okay the computer is pretty much a turn off now since i spend like 43289391543725 a day staring at it in office.

Goodbye, for now!
GB tmr :D
