Siiinnng, siiing siiing siiiiiiing
that's what i've been doing for the past few days

its an excruciating feeling, trying to hit the high A after months of vocal misuse
and my voice truly sucketh muchos right now
no stamina!
my placement is shite!
there's a HORRENDOUS ZIPPER!!! (where the bleepin' bleep did that come from)
and i'm always FLAT
omg.
-hides face in shame-

however
bad singing (from me) aside
it is WONDEROUSLY GLORIOUS hearing the beeeeeauuutiiifuuul sounds the choir makes once again
singing in kkmc today was amazing
it really felt like i was home, at long last
seeing familiar friendly faces and sharing a laugh + making music with old friends really makes my day

of course the hugeeee steamboat buffet dinner at garden hotel was a definite bonus too
that place brought back many great memories too
and may, upon arriving at the restaurant
immediately rushed towards the table we sat at 2 years ago (!!!)
and she could even remember the exact same SEATS we sat at
golly!

speaking of may
here's a pictorial tribute to my BESTEST GORILLA FRIEND



isn't she LURRVELY?
what would i do without a friend like her eh.

p.s. notice how she's actually taller than me in this shot. WOOHOO. amazing. "There can be MIRAAAACLES, when you BEELIIEEVEEEEE..." That's what a little bit of tip-toeing and bending of the knees (it wont take a rocket scientist to guess who was doing which action) can do for you. haha thank gawd i know she doesn't visit this blog often (haha and if you do, FORGIVE ME, DEAR FRIEND! wahahahaha)

p.p.s. acjc's lookin' mighty spiffy nowadays. i was shocked to bits when i saw all the fantastico christmas decorations and all. why why why do they do this only after i've LEFT the damn place!

oh yes
joke of the day happened during dinner
starring none other than our favourite slowth, johann tay

so miss rebecca comes up to us telling us that there might be a change to the alumni women's concert gear next year
instead of the usual black kebayas, the women'd be wearing black pants and a thai silk tunic
so johann wants to know what just transpired btw miss rebecca and the girls
conversation is as follows:

johann: eh what'd she say?
me: change in women's concert gear next yr... might be wearing black pants and a tunic on top
johann: [long pause] ... whuuut?
me: we're wearing pants and a thai silk tunic instead of the kebaya next year
johann: [pause] why?
me: because they want a change???
johann: oh. what?
me: [getting frustrated] okay for the last time-- alumni women wear PANTS and a TUNIC next year. Geddit!!!??

and in true johann fashion, this was his reply
*drumroll please*

johann: [looks thoughtful. you can almost see the gears turning in his head. longer pause] So you all are wearing pants next year issit?
me: [looks at david foong to my right and both of us slap our heads in horror]


find me anyone slower than him and i'll eat my sock

if you want it
come and get it
crying out loud
the love that i was
giving you was
never in doubt
let go your heart
let go your head
and feel it now

BUGGER OFF

puh-lease
try to look at things from my POV

and if ya'll do not want to be on the receiving end of it

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

eep.
me issa gettin' addickted to dem beyonce songs.

buffet lunch at the grand hyatt with the guys was GREAT fun
we laughed so damn damn damn much at one point that i was worried that i was gonna hurl
alvin certainly had to run off to catch a breath of fresh air to avoid hurling
haw haw
and i even got a bouquet full of prettinesssss!
although its pretty wilted now thanks to my rough handling
oops.

thanks for everything over the past 3 years, dudes!
i hope the lunch was a sufficient gesture of my gratitude towards you lot eh?
haha.
(of course i'm just kiddin', one lunch sure as hell ain't ever gonna be enough. i need to treat ya'll to a millionbillion or something!!!!!!)

bimbo mode is: ON

my shopping drought is finally OVER!
wahahaha.

after a disappointing time at FCUK @ tangs (dammit why cant they make clothes for women who ain't so well endowed eh)
zara + mango taka and another one of those small shops at wisma proved to be much more promising
so i am the proud new owner of 4 lurrrvely new tops
grand total spent: S$103
which is a little steep but ah well considering i havent actually shopped for MONTHS AND MONTHS
its not so bad

all i need now are a new pair of nice strappy black heels, preferably 2-4 inches in height
and a pair of purple/lilac shoes
and maybe a pair of dressy brown mules
and my wishlist will be complete

>>>

had a very very very pleasant dinner w sunny at the Garlic Rezzie @ Colours by the Bay
the set dinner menu is incredibly yums!
and tres reasonable to boot
ate till i was stuffed
heard lots abt his badminton tour to boston!!!
arrrgh the lucky, lucky, lucky guy
it pays to play a sport REALLY DAMNED WELL i tell you
now if only i could play badminton as well as he does
haha.
maybe in my next life

and then we walked to swissotel's equinox complex
where we had drinks at the New Asia Bar
mmm.
i think i've found a new place to chill out
the music is incredible-- the dj spins a nice mixture of mainstream hits and some other very funky latin/arabic etc beats
a very eclectic mix of sounds!
i like.
drinks are a tad expensive, but v goodly because they ain't horribly watered down like most of the drinks you get at zouk and embassy
and have i mentioned the VIEW from the 70th floor is BLOODY AMAZING yet?!
no?
well.
THEVIEWFROMTHE70THFLOORISBLOODYAMAZING!!!!

t'was a great pity that no one was dancing to the great music last night tho'
sunny and i were itching to hit the dancefloor but it remained frighteningly empty
so no go.
but we amused ourselves by gossiping about what we thought was a pimp daddy + his entourage of girls + ang-moh client, sitting next to us
good ole grandpa (ie: pimp daddy) was all rearing to dance as well (and we were like going "GO GRANDPA! GO GRANDPA!" because if he + his posse started dancing we woulda followed suit. dancefloor not so empty lars)
but as sunny so bluntly put it-- his rather massive potbelly proved to be in the way of any booty shakin' action
so he and his gurrrrls didnt dance either
bloody uncooperative grandpa.
grrr.
hopefully it'll be much more happening during the weekend.

and then i got driven home!
which was v goodly because we all know what a lazy bum i am innit?

>>>

more shopping later on
and then dinner w johann tonight

i miss the GIRLS tho
c'mon man get those DAMNABLE EXAMS OUTTA THE WAY QUICKQUICK!

>>>

dinner w johann at some taiwanese noodle place was goodly
he wasnt exceedingly slow (wahhaha)
and he's great company as well!
haha
and he walked me all the way home!!!
i am PROUD OF HIM
comm men are supposed to be like that (read: gentlemanly)
hahahaha
all we gotta do now, is organise our comm reunion
huzzah.
cant wait to see them all again

and there's alumni again tmr
looking forward to it, in a way!
tho how my voice sounds like, after months of misuse, is another matter altogether

>>>

jackie just called fr the states!
I MISS THE CHAP I TELL YOU
golly it was REAL good speaking to him again
and what a surprise it was to hear from him
its always so easy talking to him
40 mins just whizzed by just like that.

WHY ARE FRIENDS LIKE THESE OVERSEAS EH!!!!

yowza
blew nearly 100 buckeroos on hair today
shopped in the morn w me rawk star mivril
however shopping was disappointing, to say the least
scratched my arm horribly when trying on a miss selfridge top w metal thingys on it
OUCH!
went to the barbie fair at PS to look for a present for miew's little cousin
and now i know her secret fetish for all things barbie...
and PONY MANES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wahhahha.

joke of the day, however, was when we were looking at barbie sets
barbie has these friends right?
so we were looking at this brunette doll, her name was teresa
and then miew goes "so what's the name of the blonde one then?"
-smacks head-
hahahahhahahahaha

the book launch at the esplanade was also v fun
LOADS of yummy yummms stuff
read: caviar, smoked salmon, pate, prawn cocktails, champagne, red/white wine etc etc
naturally i helped meself to a HELLUVA lotta the goodies
and it was interesting mingling with the 'high-society' crowd
made for rather interesting, yet superficial, conversations
ah well.
it was an experience though!

k
am tired
feet are real sore from plodding around in my 3.5 inch heels the whole day long
i forsee some killer blisters appearing on the feet come tmr morn
ah well.


You are a pheromone. You are seductive and you know
what you want. You have something about you
that permeates the air and draws people to you.
You can get what you want almost without fail,
like some of the sexiest moths out there.

it is good to be back!

the people
the food
the shopping
well, not that i've shopped much yet
but that shall soon change!

met up with some of my fave boys on sunday
and thankew very much, guys + my favourite gorilla friend, for the GORGEOUS bikini
lurrve it!
tho i still think i needeth bigger boobies
alas!
that ain't gonna happen anytime soon (hur)





went to reds @ bugis with miewlee to cut our hair today
hrm.
cant say i'm all that pleased with the results
but i'm hoping my stylist can do something about it when i visit her for colouring tmr

and there's that book reading premier at the esplanade tmr!
still havent found a suitable cocktail dress to wear as yet
gah.

oh oh oh we're getting a PUPPY!
went to see the litter today
omg
they are the most adorable things i tell you
i picked on up and she fell asleep in my arms
AWWW MAN!
they're rottweiler/retriever crosses
only a week old!
the sad thing is that we'll only be getting them in jan
because they'll only be old enough to be brought to new homes then
but no matter
i'll be visiting them over the next few months
lurrve!

oh and there's also carolling to look forward to!
huzzah.

its GREAT being home.

balls have an affinity for hitting my face
played basketball with denny bj turks brakey luke petie ettia claire jo and naomi yesterday afternoon
gorgeous gorgeous weather
started at 3+ and we stopped at 6pm for tea
now i've finally come to the realization that i am EXTREMELY UNFIT
all my muscles are aching horrifically from the lack of exercise for the past few... years?!
gawd.
but it was fun nonetheless, despite being smacked in the face by brakey (my own team-mate even)
my ankle held up pretty well, but it was still rather sore after 2+ hours of intense bball

and after basketball, at tea
yen and mary come up to me and ask 'd'you wanna go out and get drunk tonight?'
so of course i say "HELL YEH"
despite the aching muscles and throbbing ankle
took a quick shower
did laundry, got dressed, then proceeded to linda's room for pre-party drinking
haha.
got a little high
and we walked all the way to surreal

and surreal was, well, surreal last night
went with the girls-- yen mary joslin linda devina laurissa sarah + 2 chaps denny and phil
sandi and laura joined us later
SHITE music for the 1st 2 hours
was so tempted to leave after about an hour, i think it was only about 11.40pm?
think devina phil and sarah left then
but i was persuaded by the rest to stay, so stay we did
tolerated more bad music from the live band
and lost some of the girls along the way
till it was down to yen, her friend vicki, laura, sandi, myself and denny
but good things come to those who wait
and we had a BLAST when them party songs started playin'
sadly tho it got really crowded and these random fuckheads tried to pick us up
some git actually tried to pinch my arse but of course me being me, i stepped on his feet REALLY REALLLLY hard and pretended not to notice
and another one tried to get jiggy wit' it wit' me but no way lars
(altho i must confess i thought he looked rather handsuum-- nice hair, great smile, good body woohoo)
but the crowd really got to us
so sandi and laura left at around 1+++am
yen vicki and myself left at 2+am
was SO knackered after all that dancing and basketball
my legs were in such excruciating pain that i couldnt bear to move after collapsing onto the bed

and then denny woke me up at 0910hrs
oh GAWD how hungover and achey was i?!
'we leave to look for housing agents at 10am lar k?'
but in the end we left after lunch
much protesting from my thighs, calves and right ankle
but we made it!
he picked up brochures while i bought some stuff for the mum
i hope he finds a good house soon
and we had a really good chat at the playground on the way back from sandy bay
chillin' out (haha) on the springy see-saw like 2 little kids
talking about relationships and well, basically that was about it
its good to have friends to talk to, methinks
even if they only seem to want to talk when their relationships have hit a low-ish point
ah well.
i sincerely hope things between them work out
tho i still think its a rather dysfunctional relationship
and someone's bound to get hurt
but then again no one ever listens to my advice anyways so i've decided to shuttup and not bother anymore
quite frankly i'm getting a little tired of it all

if you choose to continue to do something that you know will lead to you getting hurt
then when the day comes that you do get hurt
you have no one to blame but yourself
because when you could've done something about it--
you didnt!
it really does pain me to see my friends going through shite
i truly do care, and as much as possible i want and try to help
but to quote another person
"such people deserve the pain and suffering that ensues."
because if you're not decisive enough to make your stand and do something about it
and if you're not going to listen to the advice of quite a few people
then the above quote really does apply to you, cruel and horrible as it may sound

and that's all i'm going to say
before this turns into another one of my hideously long rants (which i think it has already!!!)

caught Revolutions with petie denny and helmut just now
great effects
pity about the plot though
i loathe to say it, but i think i actually enjoyed reloaded better
but all in all still a must-see movie
because how can you not finish watching the matrix trilogy eh?
i'm absolutely dying to watch LOTR: ROTK now though, after seeing the beeeeeeaaauuuutttiiiiffuuuullll trailer
aragorn, king of gondor
OMG.
isn't viggo just THE best?!
i nearly drowned in a puddle of my drool just seeing him onscreen for a few short minutes.
hahahahahha.
soon, soon.

i absolutely love that song (despite it being about a love that's falling apart? how depressing)
when i first heard it it really sent chills up and down my spine
amazing stuff, really

Buggerit
i cant seem to get to sleep
i have shite like wernicke's aphasia, cyclothymic and dysthmic disorders, beck's cognitive theory of depression, seligman's learned helplessness model (you get the drift eh) stuck in my head
the bad thing is-- even though the terms are floating around in my brain
i cant seem to remember the itty bitty details
which, of course, is TRES BAD, considering my psych exam is TO-BLOODY-MORROW!
worse still, make that TODAY
because its already 0133hours
f*ckitydoodahday.

-stress-

after tmr's paper
i desperately need to pack
clear out my incredibly messy room
one wonders how it is possible to collect so much junk in a relatively short period of time
and i also need to find a place to stay after the 14th of nov, if i do end up staying in tassie for a bit longer
help, anyone!?
room for rent?
hovel for squatting in?
right now, i'm not choosy.
haw haw.

k.
i will sleep now.
and get up at 5am to study some more
i can hear sally moving around next door which means she's probably still up swotting for psych as well
ha!

eeep this is such a stupid post
eeeeeeep.
remind me NEVAH to leave my studying till the very last minute again
BOLLOCKS!
also, i need to master the art of getting up immediately after the alarm rings
i have this nasty habit of slamming my fist down on the snooze button
and after doing that for likesay 1000000 times
i finally get up
and its usually 3 hours after the alarm 1st rang
take today for example-- it rang at 7am
and when i next opened my eyes
t'was 10+am.
then came the afternoon nap--
it started at 5pm
and was supposed to be over by 5.30
but NooOoOooOoh
i got up at 9pm instead.
arrgh.
and since i missed breakfast, skipped lunch (menu was horrendous), and missed dinner today
plus missing dinner yesterday
that makes it 4 main meals i havent eaten
no wonder my tummy's been growly
i think i should keep this up eh?
NOT.

>>>

and here's a very cheery update from me
FUUUUUCKIT!
it is now 0351hrs and i am still up
omg.
how the HELL am i gonna stay awake for my paper tmr aye!
-gnashes teeth-
