Friday
When I got onto the bus 174 heading towards town, I thought I got onto 74 instead cuz I didn't know 174 and 74 took similar routes =s I got pretty worried for a while and contemplated asking the aunty sitting beside me if the bus we were on was 174 or 74.
Dinner at Yoshi was a rush, and I left abt 2/5 of my salmon bowl untouched, I finished all the salmon though ;)
Inside the movie theatre, we were surprised to find our seats at the second row!!! DAMNIT it was the second row, and I had worn contacts and tied my hair! I squirmed in my seat for about an hour or so into the show, trying to find a comfortable position. Alas, the only way to go was all the way down. Before that, I stepped real hard on the feet of this guy beside me when I was getting to my seat. It was pretty nasty, judging by how he immediately sat up and grimaced for a while. I was glad he didn't swear or anything =x
By the time the movie ended, it was time to get home. I jumped at the idea of taking the bus home when because I didn't know there was a direct bus home from town (yes, I'm NOT good with directions and all). On our way, we had surveyors coming up to us, with their lengthy sermons of the good of a saving plan and yadda yadda. Thankfully, they didn't insist that we sat down and we were thus spared of all the graphs and figures, which I was sure would ensue if we did went to the seats at their booth.
Later at the busstop, we met people. I wasted an sms. It was anything but... All in all, an awkward affair, especially so on the bus. It was downright ironic --- friends didn't act like friends, strangers didn't seem like strangers. We got by with our own separate conversations, it appeared as if we took care not to interrupt each other or something. She thought they sat behind so that we could talk. On the other hand, it seemed to me that at that time, there were ONLY those FEW seats which happened to be just right for the no. of people. We almost talked, almost asked to take a picture together. (note how it's almost, which meant we never did)
When they got off, we went to "normal" mode, it was as if we'd held our breath(s) before. We wondered for a while if we appeared a little aloof....
Coincidentally, the girls who requsted for photographs alighted at the same busstop as us, or should I say one busstop after the intended one. They were probably too blinded by the thought of having met an idol, and us, not yet recovered from the oddness of it all...we forgot to press the bell. -faints-
It wasn't all that bad, lugging my humongous ACCPAC textbook and walking back. FANG's good company. HAHA!
we shall meet up again =D
Saturday
Child Aid briefing at UCC. Alighted at the wrong busstop, and got a bit lost for a while. At the reception, we 3 felt a little out of place. While the other performers mingled around, we 3 stood/sat around looking like lost ducks. The journey to and fro took about an hour plus each and by the time I got home, I was too spaced out to do anything.
Sunday
tut tut tut. and then vegeterian dinner, an annual affair. another family conflict (cousinandhubby) poor kid got so frightened he cried so hard, it wasn't pretty at all.
Monday
heading town again, for entre. proj =s
hk proj stuff still undone!!!! -pulls hair-
reaching, for somthing intangible
You see something you like.
You reach. You think it's a bit far, but still within your reach (or so you thought).You stretch out further and reach.You fail.andYou fall.So now you see something new.And you want to reach again.But you're reminded of your fall.And that fear deters you from trying out to reach.I don't want to reach again, at least not for now.Reaching is tiring, and there're the backaches and all the body aches that comes with it.It sucks.
too quiet, not?
It's tough.
Sometimes you talk too much, and you fear that you'll annoy someone.
You hold back, and when eventually there aren't any common topics anymore, you don't talk at all, and then you drift apart. When you decide that keeping mum is the way to go, people think you're stuck up.
It's sort of a vicious cycle, for me at least.
I've never been known to initiate conversations, and am not good at keeping conversations going.
Frankly, I find that VERY hard.
Why is talking hard?
This is really absurd.
I accompanied grams, mum and aunt to pray today.
It was really interesting to watch the 'ceremony' going on. I don't really know what you call that, but it was indeed deafening with all the gongs.
And my cousin introduced her brother's girlfriend to us.
Grams looked happy. Haha.
I'm still stuck on tv...
I'll be going vegeterian (how do you spell that?) for a week. It's an annual thing. But I can have anything outside of home. =)
I'm still in the holiday mood.
Cousins came over and JH kindly helped change my blogskin.
I'll never ever learn how to change it, I think.
So while she was busy surfing online, I watched "Goong" with grams. She loves the show I think. Unkowingly, we kept at it till we got to the 5th VCD for today, with 6 others (mum, aunts and cousins). Watching vcds get tiring too, and I'm such a tv addict.
But it was pretty nice, as laughter rang throughout the house =D
Joyitty joy.
I can't get down to serious stuff. Still in this dreadful holiday mood.
We had a 4 hour break in between 2 lectures today, and lunched at Pizza Hut. Think we were the most rowdy lot there today, what with a miniature "wedding ceremony" going on, where the bride was some green stuff; the groom some stuff from BY's sphagetti leftovers; the tomatoes from BY's plate of spicy drumlets made up the bridesmaids; and pineapples from my hawaiian pan pizza leftovers rounded up the entourage as best mans. There was no wedding rings, no wedding vows exchanged, though everyone present at the ceremony had coke rained upon them as holy water. =D (the holy water was my idea, and I'm quite proud of it) oh ya, and Sher was quite sad when someone accidentally crushed one of the grooms or sth...the one with the biggest piece of decoration. Haha!
Cuz we had a wedding crasher, we decided to bury him under Sherlin's remaining piece of Hawaiian. Again, I came up with the warped idea of making sure he stayed under it by placing BY's drumlets (bones as at time of burial) on the pizza. BUT! later the bride decided to join him 6 feet under, and ta-da! the end.
Ironically, the burial and the wedding ceremony were held on one side of the plate each, which was...so NEAR. duhs.
Nonetheless it was really really hysterical! Sherlin even doubled up as photographer! =))
Thereafter, we proceeded to play pool, and ended up with some stupid game of our own.
And the place have shrunken quite abit, sad to say.
BUT YAY!
I had fun!
4:23
I've been warming the seats for more than 2 hours now. Still half an hour more before stinking briefing starts...
I'm like yawning every few minutes apart, and it's FREAKING FREAKING FREAKING cold in the library.
I fear temporary deafness once I unplugged those earphones from my laptop.
4:28
5 minutes gone. So lame. I looked through my hotmail and deleted whatever I think need not be there. Kept some for some memories. Got a little upset revisiting those. My eyelids are getting really really heavy.
4:33
I just feel really stupid now.
4:35
It gets really boring in the library alone.
4:38
Perplexing. I got so much running through my mind now I don't know how to go tackle it.
4:42
Whining's not gonna help. I refuse to whine any further. Please slap me if I whine. (I foresee swollen cheeks, but hell, whatever).
4:49
I hope the briefing ends early. To have it at 5 pm on a Wednesday sucks, at least for me.
Made a new male friend 6 years my senior in class yesterday. Learnt about "asking questions" and "experimenting" yesterday, cuz my teacher went on and on and on about it.
Today in school. Lecture with small jie, dajie and by. Timetable read: "68-B1-000E".
68B or 68E? I can't recount who said what exactly, but boy, it was LOL funny deciding between the 2 lecture theatres. When we entered the CORRECT lecture theatre, there were only about 8 of us with the lecturer. The door closed behind 2 other guys who entered after us, and the others who came later couldn't get in. Stephie attempted to open the door twice, but to no avail. She later roped in BY to help, who didn't help much after fiddling with it too. All of us had a good laugh later when they realised how "goondu" they had been, cuz there was something like a switch at the side which you had to press on to open the door.
BY was delirious during JAP. Crazy... she laughed till she complained of headaches. I made another new guy friend on the bus on my way home, even though we only know each other's names now and nothing much. LOL.
Back home, I had crabs for dinner/supper. Dad on seeing how I was digging the meat out from those shells, took over my piece from me, and explained that I had to break it into bits before actually digging out the meat from it. He broke my share, and instantaneously, those pieces of meat flew out from the shell and landed everywhere on the floor around the dining table except on my plate. My first thought was "hey! crab meat 'fireworks'!!!"
Damnz, it really looked that, I swear. HAHAHAHAHA.
Tmr. I'll be whiling away 4 hours on my own. zzzz...
Just when we're starting to get comfortable around each other, we're going to be separated again.
New class, new people....
It'll get some getting used to.
Changes are inevitable, though not always welcomed.
Say, I didn't notice it was Friday the 13th today.
10th oct
I freaked myself out over a short flickering of lights. Such a laughable incident, but my fingers went really cold.
11th oct
Linn's birthday! Hung out at Marina Square after lunch, where we took a couple of pictures in the toilet, at Mango, and in the middle of somewhere. Must have looked pretty stupid, but I couldn't care less on that day. Was just happy meeting up with old pals =D
Oh, I forgot to mention that during lunch, when I had my lemon tea, Amanda was greatly amused that the flimsy piece of lemon hanging on my glass dropped. (.".)
I almost went deaf at the arcade when a group of girls BANGED on the machine while playing the "bishy bashy" game. I left the arcade with the same amount of money I brought into it.
Later, I witnessed how hard SB was trying to come up with an excuse to get Linn to accompany us to Hg Mall where we had a surprise waiting for her. The surprise (YJ with Linn's presents) turned out to be not so much of a surprise, and it made all of us a little upset. Haha.
Nonetheless, we proceeded to take neoprints where we had SO MUCH time decorating. While we left YJ and the birthday girl to do the decorations, SB and I entertained ourselves with more photos! It was such an insane affair I was secretly glad there wasn't anyone else around. Later I offered to take pictures yet again for YJ and Linn! Yes, so narcisstic I know. But it's just a "spur of the moment" -grins-
Today
Went to the temple, prayed and later went to Great World City for shopping while waiting for my aunt to come join us for lunch. Saw some attire suitable for the Hawaiian-themed party on Saturday, but decided against buying it because I didn't think I would wear it again after the party. Visited my cousins and played PS! Had great fun losing round after round though it seemed pathetic. BUT it's been eons since I last TOUCHED that darn machine. Though it sucked losing to someone 6 years my junior, but it was great touching that controller again =x
Because sometimes I just want to throw caution to the wind...
Because sometimes I hope I'm less bothered by what other people think...
Because sometimes I want to feel irresponsible...
Because sometimes I expect too much...
Because sometimes I bottle it all up...
Because sometimes I wish it hadn't happened.
I'm probably just a little scared.
School's gonna start soon you see...
And I freak.
Was VERY late for Beautiful Sunday today. Though we had agreed to meet at 2, I ended up reaching there around 45 minutes later. I really am apologetic because Eve says the her friend's kids were getting restless and all waiting for me. =x But I did run! With my torturous heels...
And Kim was there waiting too!
Haha, so we hurried in and were shown to the stall seats, where the view was very much obstructed cuz yours truly isn't VERY tall. Eve said it was awkward going to a concert when she knew almost all the usherers there. She got the kids the booster seats, under the watchful eyes of many other sets of parents in the hall.
Today's concert was generously peppered with cries and some thoughtless chattering of toddlers and babies. The repertoire of cartoons/ animations' soundtracks brought back many childhood memories. Haha. I shan't comment on the balance and all that band stuff though, cuz my hearing's long failed to tell "good sounds" from "bad sounds". =x
It did sound messy at times, but other than that, it had been pretty enjoyable.
After the concert ended, we had ice-cream at Marina Square and window-shopped around for a while before heading home.
Those heels really hurt. I want slippers.
And I still don't know what to wear for the Hawaiian-themed party next Sat!
I got NO sundresses, NO straw hats, NO colourful leis. But I got a flowery Hawaiian shirt which I haven't worn in years since the Balloon Hat Festival in Sentosa in 2004. But then again, that would make me look more like a tour guide more than someone in Hawaii.
help
movie
Went to watch "Stay Alive" with Hanyong.
I thought they cut off the most grotesque parts of the killings, so it wasn't THAT bad... I think. Final Destination was more OMGOMGOMG.
I spent on lunch and that movie, not too much I suppose though I didn't finish lunch.
It was kind of weird, and now I know how it feels when the other only looks on while the other eats. Haha... it was like a reenactment of a scene 3 years ago.
Walked around, and hung around. Got pretty tired waiting for the movie. Inside the theatre, there were so many commercials I really felt like sleeping.
This woman seating beside me got quite freaked out after the first killing she hid away into her bf's arms. And I heard the pats her bf showered on her shoulder throughout the show. Haha...
And uh, I'm tired. Got awoken by my father's phone call to go pick my sick brother up from his school.
=x
I'm bored, though I have things to do. It's so ironic.
I'm such a lazy procrastinator, and I hate acknowledging that fact.
I didn't touch the comics I wanted to.
I didn't watch the dvds I wanted to.
I didn't read the books I wanted to.
I didn't revise Jap like I wanted to.
What the heck did I do this holiday?
I'm like wasting my time, and my life.
SHIT. WITH A VERY CAPITAL
S.
X'MAS COME QUICK! I don't know why, but I just want Christmas to come...NOW.
shrinking.....NOT
Spare me some time as I try to analyse why Sher's been remarking that I'm shrinking.
Shrinking can mean:
1) Shrinking horizontally, but not vertically (a.k.a lost weight, which has the least probability because yours truly have been a true blue couch potato eversince hols started)
2) Shrinking vertically, but not horizontally (a.k.a known as getting fatter and a possibility of becoming a fat "hobbit")
3) Shrinking both horizontally and vertically (which isn't a really bad thing, just that I'll appear to have a head too big and a face too old for my small body)
Of the 3 interpretations I can provide, number 2's the most likely. ........................................................................................................................................................................
OMG.
Am I really turning short and fat?
Holy.
What a nice realisation for a children's day present =)
"Thanks"
