Things I Abhor About Her
1. She has got a sao-sia (raspy voice) which is obviously fake.
2. She makes stupid comments in class and think she is very funny.
3. She tries to make friends by demeaning herself.
4. She tries to be the clown of the class.
5. She loves asking retarded questions.
6. She thinks of retarded questions that don't ever will have answers. (this is not a repitition of no.5)
6. She doesn't turn her handphone to silent mode and irritates both me and the lecturers when it rings.
7. She uses stupid ringtones.

13. She has no shame.
14. She tries to include me in their lunch meets/ gatherings/ etc. expects me to wait for them after class/
expects me to be as friendly as HER.
15. She is ang-moh-nised.
16. I find her very disturbing.
17. I find her so disturbing that i hope she doesn't get into the same specialism as me next year.
18. I find her so disturbing that i wanna kill her.
19. I find her the only one that i really hate in class.
20. I find her a big joke.

Garbage
How's everyone? Hope you're great.
Today was much of a bad day. (Good days never existed since Day One.) We have our presentations this morning. So 9am we started loading in our files to the PC, which took a long time, and i was the last one to do so, not counting those which had problems. JN was one of them, and she was sao-sia-ing again, and she doesn't even know you should 'Open Folder to View Files' to see the shit in her thumbdrive. Argh. She thinks she's a geek, and i think she's more like a pig. Pea-brain.
Oh. And before class started, she was walking in barefooted and holding her dusty, plain, my mom's generation's heels. (Actually i didn't see the heels part.) Whatthefuck. Why does she ever have to go to such measures?
Irene decided to start with the person whose powerpoint is more, two more, three, and me. Shit man. I was so distressed yesterday, but i got back on track after venting out my frustrations, and i onyl got real nervous when the person before me was up in front. I just crawled through the presentation. There were some mispronounciations at first but i got better and more natural after that. Ok. Here's the exciting part.
After me was JN. She went up right after me. And she began to make a declaration that made me feel so proud that i have a clasmate like her. Ha.
Don't miss this part. This is the juiciest bit.
She D-E-C-L-A-R-E-D,"Ok, firstly, i would like to make a declaration. This powerpoint is really a last minute one, i just did it yesterday for the whole night.... and i think i sidetracked... blah blah blah... so this is going to be a informal one, and you'll be laughing a lot" Yeah, right. Laughing at your stupidity. HA~HA~HA~
And she started, which totally didn't make sense. She was talking about makeup. I don't know why, she just kept blabbering on, sometimes saying "I don't want to make this boring" on points that other people had said.
She was saying how everyone in her class said that in the past people were more conservative, and that she thinks that people in the past were very open, cause of the short hemlines and bold colours. While most of us had found out that the West has a certain influence on the trends locally, she thinks that there isn't. Hey lady, having different views is okay, but that's too much if no one really agrees with you. I don't know about the class, but i don't. I definitely won't.
She was speaking halfway, and she suddenly stopped, cause she was apparently was at a loss of words, and just said "I don't know what to say". Is this DUMB or DUMB? You can just "er", "erm" or "yup" your way through. And to think she's always been the public figure, talking a lot with no lack of chatting topics. Fuck lah.
Then Irene said to her, "I want to challenge you, JN(not her real name). You have a lot of information, but it is all over the place. I need you to pack up everything and summarise what you've got". Great. Finally we can shorten the misery and total awkward-ness.
Then there was one slide where she compared the present and the past's fashion trends. She was saying(about this picture of a skinny model),"The models now are stick-thin, not like me, you know, fat..." What the heck was that for? No penalty marks or whatsoever for demeaning yourself. This person gotta change a brain.
Then she wanted to point us out to something on the screen, and she walked in her heels, looking very gan kor. She was walking like a handicapped duck. You can just use the mouse...
And it was the end. Irene commented,"You have to arrange your information... Do you know that you almost failed?" And JN went back to her seat saying,"That's why" and "Oh, man..." after that. Oh, what a poor little vulnerable and useless girl.
Then it was one more classmate and it ended. Irene gave a debrief and applauded classmate A, E, and EW for doing great. Yeah. They were good. I thought i did badly. I didn't have enough pics and i didn't do the comparison between trends of the past and present. '_'
Sigh. I really hate it.
Well, honesty is not much of a virtue or of any help here. The lecturers won't be giving you extra marks by being truthful that you did not do your work dutifully.
No, she's not those kinda snobbish people, but i just hate her guts. I just feel like thrusting a knife into her belly and clean my eyes of her sight. I hope she's not taking design next year.
It's just too bad that she made a fool of herself for these two days. Maybe she's all along like this. But that only means she had been a fool for years. Pathetic. I've seen enough. It just comes out as time passes.
Now the bad guys turn into good ones, and the really good ones are turning bad. So much that they smell. STINK.
I hope they rot to death.
After that we went off, and i waited for Nicky, and we lunched with her classmates at KFC. Then the two of us went back to school first. And guess what i did. I went for Nicky's Macroeconomics lecture at 2pm. So cool. Haha. The big lecture hall, so cool, so... business. But it was quite empty. The lecturer began at 2pm sharply. Hahaha. He is strict, and slow too. And more people filled in the spaces.
Then at 2.45pm, the lecturer gave everyone a 1 min break to make noise, and chattering came. I took the chance and slipped away amongst the chaos. Hahaha. The lecturer was not facing us anyway. And i crept away silently. I made my way to CAD Studio. Digital Essentials is the coolest subject right now. My favourite. Cool lecturer, cool coursework(only 1 assignment), and cool Adobe programmes i find really useful. Yeah, the person matters a lot. PFFFFTTTTT....WAHAHAHA!!!
I left at 5pm, and took the bus to TM. Met Nicky there(she had collected The Cake) (we saw classmate G) and we walked to the row of shops, opposite the red/brown government building. She dabao food for her family. And we dug out every penny we had left to get a cup of bubble tea. Nicky was the largest shareholder, with a contribution of NETT $1. I was a minor shareholder holding a stake of 20 cents. =D
As usual the bus drives in when we just stepped closer to the bus stop, and we hurriedly got up. We were separated by a head, and i drank up all of the bubble tea(if not let it melt meh?) HAHA.
She got off, and i got off too. Then i walked to CP to get dinner. But i shopped around. Went to Metro, blah blah. I was thinking if i should get Sneakers for my brother. Haha. Then i stopped by Hang Ten.
I picked up a pair of baggy pants, and after trying i found it to be $69. What the TOoT. Haha. But got one-for-one lah. After browsing through the shop, there was nothing else i like(and nothing else as costly), so i told the other staff that i don't want it anymore. It's not that nice anyway, cause of the material. They kept bugging me to persuade me to buy it, and the woman thought that i only wanted that pair, and suggested i could take the cheaper ones. Crazy ah. I'm not that rich. They tried very hard to keep me. And the man even offered free membership. Haha. So i asked them about the membership, even though i've made up my mind. So i said i'll think about it, and scooted off.
And i discovered i had no money to buy anything, so i walked home. It was a damn cold night, trying to figure out this life. It was raining. =)
I reached home, and didi called to ask what i wanted to eat. Mama gonna dabao home.
Tomorrow we are going to M&M. Yay. I have to clear my camera of all those files. TIme to make CDs again.
See ya.
We got a new addition to the family today. =)

Emphasis
Hello.
I bring you the events of the day.
So damn tired. I started asking mama about the 1960's and 70's fashion's factors from leaving the house all the way when we were on the road.
So we reached school at 8.45am, and Nicky and I went separate ways to our respective classes.
Irene then asked us about what research we did, starting from classmate J. Then i started to realsie everyone was gonna get called upon, cause she was going down the road. And she was asking what research we had done for our first assignment regarding social changes and style shifts. Okay, firstly, i must tell you that we have to do first hand research and secondary research, and we were supposed to do secondary research yesterday night. OOPS. And obviously i didn't know i had to do that. So when it came to my turn, i simply said,"I just ask my mother a lot of stuff" and that is so lame. =/ But Irene didn't say anything about it.
Then we were put into groups again after watching an episode of "The Look". JN, J, V, me. Alright. So JN gave out the books that she borrowed(she LOVES sharing) to let us see what she borrowed. Then she started asking stupid and retarded questions. Okay. Listen. She was saying that the public used to think that curvaceous women were fashionable in the past(i said oh, like the "Four Beauties" and she said i knew what she was thinking of... er, don't think i need to have any kind of understanding between us), and she was asking why did the public suddenly change to adopt the idea of skinny models and skinny sizes. So i just told her, it's FASHION. And she was blabbering about who started the trend to make people change their mind about the concept of beauty, so i said "cause of the designers". Apparently she doesn't understand, and she was saying "I'm going to ask her" in her sao sia voice again. It's hard to demonstrate and describe. Even I can't mimic her. So she asked Irene, and Irene was saying about the designers developing slimmer silhouettes, and she wanted to recommend a book to JN about the social issues that affect fashion. FINALLY.
She started to blabber about some more nonsense, and she pointed at me/ looked in my direction and sfucking said,"I want to give you a makeover" I was so "alarmed", "appalled", that i simply replied,"I don't want" (On afterthoughts i should have given a wittier answer.) Thenshe tried to cover up for her hideous act for saying,"Ah, sorry to hurt you, too straightforward already. Anyway i should also go for a makeover...." FUCK. And Thursdays are her uniform days. Cause she doesn't want to think of what to wear everyday. What the fuck.
It wasn't random. it was SUDDEN. What the hell.
If i were to change, it won't be me anymore. And who does she think she is to help me CHANGE my image? She might as well throw away her ABC-brand linen shirts. Fuck.
So what we are in ADM. It doesn't mean we have to be dressed up everyday. I have my own clothing sense and there's nothing anyone can do about it. I will be a T-shirt girl forever and ever, as long as it takes.
Dismissed, and i went to the library to borrow some research books. After getting most of what i need, JN and V came. And to where i was. Then JN was fucking sao sia-ing,"Oh nooo!" And i guessed what she was looking for. The book that i had taken, and it was the same series as those she let us see. Just that she didn't borrow the 1960's one, and i had taken it. She needed the pictures in there.
But. But as you know, i'm a magnamious person. So i promised to lend it to them, and asked them when they need it, she said they'll be in the CAD Studio, and gave me her number. Alright. So i said i had to leave, and she was oh-so-pitiful-and-neglected-sao sia,"huhh, why?" What was missing is the teary and bleary eyes. Fuck.
So i went to lunch with Nicky at IT, and went to class early. Lent them the book, got it back. I changed computers cause the one i was using suddenly didn't have Pathfinder. Sigh. So i was self-banished to the dark, roach-infested area of the room.
I really admire Yong Kin. He's in his twenties, nerdy with a twist and so helpful. WAH! Shh... I don't really approve of teacher-student relationships. Hahaha. At least he makes the icy cold Design School not that freezing. So romantica right. =) "The Icy Chamber". HA!
Today was pretty much of Illustrator again.
Took the bus home. 15, alighted in front of OUB Building. And apparently i was just in time, cause 27 went by. Hahaha. BUT. Another empty bus came less than five mins later.
See ya.
FUCK THOSE BITCHES.
Now chiong-ing to do the powerpoint for tomorrow's presentation.

Everyday
Everyday is a bad day
Everyday is a lethargic day
Everyday is a cruel day.
Everyday of these three years
Will be bad days alright.
Either it doesn't come
Or it comes all at once.
Leaving you unprepared
Lagging far behind
Chasing and stretching out your hands
For that goal impossible to achieve.
I don't want it that way.
I didn't mean it to be.
Even the smallest of steps
Can take you on a very different route
Sometimes one that will regret
But not just yet.
Who would I be
What will I be doing
If i'm not here
Non-existent at all?
Sicked
Or whatever you call it.
I just hope that it will stop.
What's the point of being sicked of the start of every new day?

How I Wish
How I wish
We could go back to the days
Where we stroll to the mall
Have ban mian
And shop till four.
But it's no longer the same.
The ban mian no longer tastes the same
The aunties are no longer the same
The feeling's not the same.
It's lost.
The ban mian will
Never be back
We will no longer be able
To do that.
Maybe it's fated so.
All here
Once.
And when it's gone
All gone.
All long gone.
How i wish.
I know you want to do that too
All of you.
Fat hope.
Good things never last.
They'll be gone as fast
As your clock ticks.

Discussion
Alrighty. Today is today, and we shall talk not of yesterday, not of tomorrow, but TODAY. =D
As usual reached school at 8.30am. Early again, so i took a walk to Bedok Resevoir. Halfway through, before i even left the school grounds, i bumped into classmate G near the Design canteen. Oh my shucks. And i pretended i didn't see him when we looked each other in the eye. I'm hopeless. Sigh. And we were heading towards each other. People must think that i'm unfriendly. Cause i don't even say 'Hello' and treat them as spiritual beings.
I saw one Ah Pek and one Ah Ma doing morning exercise. Shortly after i went back. And i went to class. Huong and i were early. Soon people start filling in and class began. Irene gave a short talk to refresh yesterday's powerpoint. Then she divided us into groups and we were told to discuss about the old photographs everyone brought (i only brought one printed one) regarding the stuff people wear when our parents were around our age. First time round i got together with P and Q (it's a coincidence, not a joke). Luckily the conversation didn't get too bad (i spoke a lot! at least five sentences...) cause they were chatting. Then Irene came along to tell us some stuff and i was enlightened (got aura lehhh...). Hahaha.
Anyway we swopped, and i ended up with E and V. But shortly after we were asked to join the other group, consisting of A, AI and G. Nothing much (i didn't spoke a word) and we had our break. I hun around and asked the vending machine for a can of milo and i had extra change of 20 cents, and went back again. Continued watching the video. Nice. I love the way the story is brought out, and the ending. Makes lipstick sounds so delicious. Hahaha.
Ok. Up next. The exciting part. "The Chronicles of Ka Sia". Stay tuned.
I took the bus to TM, walked around TM and spied at Yamaha, and went back to the MRT station. Then i scanned in, and i saw four policemen (those kind guardind the stations) before i got up the escalator. And at the platform, the four police guys appeared again. Into the train, and they were right there, on my right. I was so worried. So worried i will get caught HAHA. Cause they were following me! And i kept rummaging my bag as if i had treasure inside. Shit. Every second was T~E~N~S~E. WOOOOO~~~ Then i had a premonition they were gonna get off at the same stop at me, City Hall, but they got off at Dhoby Ghaut. Wahlamak. I didn't dare to look at them, not even a glance, till i saw them shifting out of the corner of my eye. SO HILARIOUS.
Ok. Reached my destination, and i made my way to Peninsula Plaza. And before long i found myself walking past Funan, past Boat Quay, and Nicky the Saviour told me i was wrong. All the while Peninsula is right opposite the station. Indirectly opposite. So I got there, but i was wrong again. Not PLAZA, but shopping centre. So i made my way there. Basement. I walked around in circles, four guitar shops, a super big one and three smaller ones, two of which are "Music Theme". I walked around in circles while talking to Nicky on the phone for ages just to figure out which one shop was the one she patronised. And then i started getting scared. Maybe i was too excited.
And i got into the shop, and asked the person for an acoustic guitar. He asked me which one i want, so i said i don't know, i said i want a beginner's one. So he recommended me this $89 beginner's set, which includes the bag, a beginners' book, straps, picks and tuner. I was appalled (!!!) at why it was so cheap, so i asked him why it was so cheap. He said outside, they mark up the price. And i asked him what's the difference between the pricier ones from this one, and he said the wood's difference. For final reassurance, I asked him if it's all the same (it's kinda retarded), and he said yes. And i got it. WOOHOO! YEEHOO! Yiba-yiba-under-leh. HAHAHA.
And i lugged him home. From the shop to the MRT station, i carried it on one shoulder like a crazy person (cause i was carrying a backpack as well) and i found a way to carry a guitar without looking retarded: Hold it by the side. PFFTT!
And i got home at 3.15pm. And i practised accordingly to the book, had lunch, and practised till 5.10pm. And i rested for a while before cleaning the cages and packing my room. Had dinner and watched tv and i'm burning discs right now. My brother made it so easy to play the guitar. Ha.
Ciao.
As usual reached school at 8.30am. Early again, so i took a walk to Bedok Resevoir. Halfway through, before i even left the school grounds, i bumped into classmate G near the Design canteen. Oh my shucks. And i pretended i didn't see him when we looked each other in the eye. I'm hopeless. Sigh. And we were heading towards each other. People must think that i'm unfriendly. Cause i don't even say 'Hello' and treat them as spiritual beings.
I saw one Ah Pek and one Ah Ma doing morning exercise. Shortly after i went back. And i went to class. Huong and i were early. Soon people start filling in and class began. Irene gave a short talk to refresh yesterday's powerpoint. Then she divided us into groups and we were told to discuss about the old photographs everyone brought (i only brought one printed one) regarding the stuff people wear when our parents were around our age. First time round i got together with P and Q (it's a coincidence, not a joke). Luckily the conversation didn't get too bad (i spoke a lot! at least five sentences...) cause they were chatting. Then Irene came along to tell us some stuff and i was enlightened (got aura lehhh...). Hahaha.
Anyway we swopped, and i ended up with E and V. But shortly after we were asked to join the other group, consisting of A, AI and G. Nothing much (i didn't spoke a word) and we had our break. I hun around and asked the vending machine for a can of milo and i had extra change of 20 cents, and went back again. Continued watching the video. Nice. I love the way the story is brought out, and the ending. Makes lipstick sounds so delicious. Hahaha.
Ok. Up next. The exciting part. "The Chronicles of Ka Sia". Stay tuned.

Concepts
Hi. I'm now at the CAD Studio on the 4th floor. Lesson starts at 3pm, but i'm here early cause i've nothing to do. And i wanna finish up yesterday's work. Some of my classmates are here too (the 'popular' clique), and they are conversing in a group. But i'm not with them, and they didn't bother me too. That's good. And they can't see my screen cause they are on the other side of the table.
And i'm listening to the CD player. Jay Chou.
So here are the events of the day so far.
This morning woke up at 7.30am, once again. So damn tired and my eyes were damn sore. So mama fetched me to school. Once again, through the morning traffic jam.
Shit man. This is risky cause two girls just went out and they may come back anytime (my back's facing the door). And class gonna commence soon. That ups the riski-ness of this risky business. Hee. And you can't quickly switch to another page cause its Macintosh. What bullshit.
Okay. Back to earth. I went to the CAD Lab in the morning, as you can see from the previous posts, cause i was too early. Then the auntie and came to clean up, and i left shortly after.
And i went to Irene Ong's Fashion Merchandising, Fmerc, in short. Quite fun. But dry. She told us about her working experience in Isetan. Then we had a 30 mins break at 10.53am.
After we watched a video "Beauty In A Jar", mostly about makeup and its history. We were dismissed at 12pm, and i went off to withdraw money, but caught up with Nicky first cause there was a long queue at the ATM. She was at Business's School Free Access Lab. I had a sweaty time finding it. And it was big, but that was not the reason why i can't find her. Miscommunication simply explains it. Haha.
And we had lunch at the Business Park. Nice. Not bad. And the stall vendors are courteous.
After escorting Nicky to the fourth floor, I went down to the first floor again. What a sweaty day and i'm wearing a black cardigan.
Then I went to the bookshop (I also found a shorter route from the Business to SDC) to get "Core Concepts to Fashion", the textbook that Irene recommended. $69.80. Woo, guess what's on my playlist right now. Hui Dao Guo Qu. Damn i LOVE this song.
After that i walked around in circles (Oh, yesterday was worst. I went down a flight of stairs and walked through a gloomy corridor and up another flight of stairs and arrived opposite where i was when i started the journey) before going to the library. Climbed more stairs. I borrowed three books. Grand Total: 4 HEAVY BIG books.
Yay. Tomorrow, there's no DiEss. So i'm gonna get a guitar, no matter of my mama's nagging og me not packing the room and saying i only save $2 for every $100 if i buy it before the GST increase.
I just read finish the Ideabooks webby YK gave us yesterday (i didn't finish reading it ytd haha) and now i'm gonna do my Illustrator.
Ooh. I hope the server doesn't save up my blog address. Don't think so too, cause i logged in through the home page.
Ok. Bye bye. See you tonight.

I'm so lost.
I'm so depressed.
And i wonder
What could be causing it.
Could it be schoolwork?
Yes.
I think so.
I'm so inconfident of myself now.
I'm rushing for every assignment.
And now school begins
I sink into despair once more
For i no longer can be confident of myself
Like i can in secondary school
Where there are only worksheets to do.
And it could be because my damn laptop
Can't view anything the lecturers send me
And does not have the Microsoft shit in it
And goes all cranky off-times.
I think the room plays a part too
I've packed up quite a lot
Yet it's still messy here and there
How i longingly wished
I had a perfect bedroom
And it's just wthin my reach.
Sigh. Troubles don't come alone.

Ball of A Time
Just came back up. Alright, giddy-up! Here are the events of the day.
I woke up real late, considering it's a school dat, at 11am. But fret not. Cause today's lesson starts at 3pm. Digital Essentials by Yu Yong Kin. Fashion Merchandising, the morning class, only starts tomorrow.
So after having lunch i was fetched to school by reluctant mama. Haha. I actually wanted to print out notes that the lecturer sent us last week (since my laptop can't open them) but i thought there wasn't much time left. (We left at 2.30pm and arrived at 2.50pm.)
It was quite cool. As the name suggests, it's all about digital stuff. Firstly, Yong Kin told us to go to a website where we could find out the differences between a bitmap image and a vector image. Pretty cool. Plus, all the computers there are Machintosh! Not bad. The school is rich. It was quite hard to navigate at first, but after a while you get the gist. After that we got our hands at trying Adobe Illustrator (for drawing vectors). It was fun. It's great once you get it. It mainly helps you to draw out stuff. A student P came late and sat down beside me. So i helped her do some stuff on the computer although i ignored her yelps of "help" at times. There was once i heard her saying,"Not fun I don't want to play anymore" Erm, no comments.
We were told to draw out the outlines of two graphics and after that we could leave. Then people start going off and i packed up too. In between the lesson i heard the people around me talking about going for SA(Student Ambassadors) after this. And as i walked off to leave and said bye to classmate E and J, J was like, "Oh, you're going? You're not joining us?" So i replied," Oh. No, they're going to Student Ambassadors", although obviously not everyone was in it. They were already waiting there before i packed up, and obviously they were waiting for the others to leave TOGETHER. Of course i know. I'm not dumb. Please stop trying that hard to get me into your estactic-ness and together-ness.Thanks. Really.
So mama came and fetched me. I took a lot of goody photos along the way home while lying don on the car seats. You know, the stretch of grass-filled areas along Tampines? Yeah.
Then we stopped at Block 308 to dabao stuff.
Home. And guess what. I forgot to buy didi's fish and chips! Haha. So he ended up sharing mama's mee hoon kway, and mama ended up eating some of my pepperish macaroni.
Yay. I love this subject. Yong Kin is a good, friendly, young, nerdy(I like that) lecturer. Nice. Relaxed course+unlimited access to internet. Simple and straight to the point (i mean the subject).
No more stupid silkscreening!
Death to silkscreening! (And batik printing!)
Bye.

Alas!
Last day of the ho-ho-ho holidays. (i'm not stammering!)
This weird, undescribable feeling just come up when i think about going back to school again. Like a gloomy rain cloud which follows you on top of your head. Sigh.
Today is pretty much and a lot of packing up. Got motivation mah. Haha. I've done a lot today. Really. I guess i was too ambitious in the beginning, to clean up every part of the room and categorise every single thing i can find in it, so much so that my room was in such a bloody mess for such a few bloody weeks.
I just finished packing (there are still some stuff cluttering the floor) and bathed. Now it's so weird seeing the green bedsheet rolled out nicely on the mattress, so neat and tidy as it ever could be. I miss the sleeping bag days (literally: days). Hahaha. Bye bye, living room-mate. Hahaha.
Alas! A clean and (almost) tidy room in ages. =)
Really tired. See ya.

Past Life Analysis
http://thebigview.com/pastlife/
Your past life diagnosis:
I don't know how you feel about it, but you were female in your last earthly incarnation.You were born somewhere in the territory of modern Korea around the year 650. Your profession was that of a warrior, hunter, fisherman or executor of sacrifices.
Your brief psychological profile in your past life:You were a sane, practical person, a materialist with no spiritual consciousness. Your simple wisdom helped the weaker and the poor.
The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:You should develop your talent for love, happiness and enthusiasm and you should distribute these feelings to all people.
Do you remember now?
Uh, not really...

22 June 2007, Friday
Woke up very very early. 8.40am. Just to do the subject selection for the next semester online. So I logged on at 9++am, and i couldn't really do so, until 9.30am. Then i watched vids to while the time away while waiting.
Hmm... actually we were asked to go back to school as the CM, Christine Foong, would be helping us with our choices. But I'm so damn sick of that place that i didn't go back. Plus i'm TIRED!
Finally it was 10am. I pressed the link "Subject selection", and the page took eons to load, but only two black words "Service Unavailable" appeared. Apparently the server was too busy. I refreshed the pages for a dozen times, and sometimes the page would appear. And i would log in, only to find "Service Unavailable" looking back at me again. Finally i got through the selection process, but after i fill in all my choices for the electives and the CDS, it went unavailable again. What the hell. Twice. Finally I got it at around 11.30am. What the hell.
As i had done some research the night before, i had a rough idea of what i was gonna choose. For the electives, here are my choices:
1. Marketing For Designers
2. Visual Presentation Essentials
3. Multimedia Essentials
4. Creative Storytelling
5. Colour & Light
6. Model Making
(And i chose to take up 2 electives next semester. Wonder if it'll be too much...)
And for the CDS(cross-disciplinary subjects):
1. Italian(great but i can't be with nicky argh.)
2. Japanese(i was forced to.)
3. Leadership & Character
4. Fundamentals Of Management
5. Creative Writing
The choices for CDS were pretty lame. And Nicky just told me that the CDS for design and the other four schools are different. Only design. Why the fuck do they have to be so special?!
Anyway that's it. Boring day.

X (no title)
Today is another slacky/slackful day. Hahaha. Spent most of the day blogging. Around 6.50pm didi and i went to CP for dinner. Oh we were dressed up like poor kids(cause we were too lazy to change out of our home-clothes). We had Zingers, and went up to the fourth floor. We got a 500-piece puzzle from Valu$ and dabao Niang Dou Fu for mama.
Home.
I've just downloaded Icy Tower. Yay! I've long forgotten there's such a game since i last touched the desktop. It's a very... attractive game. Hahaha.
And i've finished reading up on guitars. But i didn't go into the technical part. Hahaha.
Alright! Tomorrow's a good day. Good day to ya, sir. Good day to ya, ma'm. Yeah, baby.

S-A-D
Where did my holidays go?
I want them back!
Argh. I just wanna quit school when i think about it. It's so depressing and dampening. Sucks.
Ooh yeah. I just set Jiang Hui's "Jiu Hou De Xin Sheng" as my ringtone. And bro "cut" it to make the ringtone start from the chorus. Yeah, baby.

And...
Today
As i packed my stuff
Mostly transversed through time
From my early years till now
I realised that
I barely had much memories
Of my childhood.
Could it be
That all the memories
Will only come back
The day i lie in the wooden box?
I can only vaguely remember
These scenes
Where i go downstairs after dinner
With my mother and brother
To feed the stray kitties
And didi got scratched by a white one.
And i played with the Barbies
Under the table
Which my father picked up somewhere
And i have a pink pouch too
Which papa brought back from work.
And i would listen to the radio
To the oldie songs
My mama love
After coming back from school.
And i got my head stuck in the door of the bus.
And when i was in kindergarten
I would go to have Ban mian
Opposite the Community Club.
With mama after class.
And i remember that
There's a half-door in the girls' toilet.
I think that i cried on the first day of kindergarten
But i don't think so now.
But i did cry in mid primary two
Cause it was a trend then.
At the end of kindergarten
We had a birthday party
Someone else's
At MacDonald's.
And i didn't get the balloon
I cried again.
My mama came and fetched me
And we got a balloon.
And i was happy.
I took the school bus
And i gave out sweets to a friend
I promised to
Then i cried in the bus
Thinking that i've let my mama down
For wasting her money.
And my brother's classmate came by
And helped me get back the sweets
Which i asked my mama to get
And that she actually thought that i wanted it for myself.
And later when i got older
I began to take the bus home with brother
The vice-head prefect of the school
And mama would wait at the bus stop.
Then it was decided
That my favourite number would be 'Six'
When i was six years old.
And i was pretty innocent
When i was that young.
We all were.
No one plots to harm you.
But i was already thinking a lot.
Thinking about natural occurences.
Thinking of weird stuff.
And these weird stuff still come to me at times now.
I got certain words mixed up
And i didn't have much general knowledge.
I daydreamed all day
It was the perfect 'world of my own'.
And one day i slipped and fell in the kitchen
And got my chin plastered up in a cross
From the doctor one block away.
And oh we were pretty poor
And frugal at those times.
But we certainly had a lot of toys.
We frequented Emporium
Which no longer exists today.
And i would stash the doll i want
So that others won't find it.
We went to Central
And the market quite frequently.
Mama used to cook
Not much, but more than now.
And we would have prawn noodles at the market.

When i was young
Time just passes by in a faze
I just waited for meals
And took photos of my toys
Those bottles with coloured liquids.
And these are only those at the old Toa Payoh home.
But i'm relieved
That mama takes photos.
A lot.
Everything is much of a blurred image
And i don't remember much details.
I can't.
I feel different
Then and now.
Different emotions
All which cannot be described.
Maybe it's because kids have poor memories
And maybe twenty years down the road
I will forget what i am doing right now
In the present
It may be the changing ideals and perception
Of the society
It may be the toll of years
That people from the pasty
Are far different
From the people of the present.
The world is miraculous
And mysterious.
Who would have thought
That we weould have HD TV right now?
Would the five-year-old me
Have thought that i would be
As i am using this laptop
Owning so much tech toys now?
Would i still be blogging when i'm sixty?
Would this blog pass through time and technology?
Life has much secrets as well.
The post ends here. And i'm relieved that i still remember much of my childhood. At least i have all these memories to accompany me down the walk of life. The good ol'. =)

Whirl
You guessed. This post is mainly on the trip. So get your gears on and LET'S get REVVING!!!
14 June 2007, Thursday
We awoke sleepily at 5.30am, and set off a 6.30am. Mama had pre-booked a Maxi cab to fetch us to to the train station. We reached there at around 7am. We were too early. The train sets off at 8.40am, and should reach its destination by 3.40pm. So we went for breakfast first. Roti prata. We finally boarded the train at 8am. The customs was quite lagged. Quite manual. And there's no stamp chop in the passport. The train moved off at 8.40am. We passed by what i would call a combination of Singapore's and Malaysia's housing- dilapidated flats surrounded by unkempt grass and weeds. So i was unsure of whether we were in Singapore or Malaysia. Then we stopped by Woodlands Terminal. Went down to get our White Card stamped. And we set off again. It was a long journey. Papa was always walking around. Then papa, didi and i went over to the first class cabin to enjoy the wonderful air-con, which is obviously cooler than the one in ours. Nice seats too. Big and plush. The train attendant was sitting right at the back of the seats in that cabin, but he didn't bother us. Then we went back to our original seats again. And slept. I woke up at around 1++pm, and papa bought two packets of Mister Potato from the canteen. So we ate, then we ventured into the first class cabin again. And stayed there for quite a long time.
Then at 2.50pm, bro came over to ask us what we were doing over there, and went back again. Then the train attendant came over to us, facing didi and me, asking us for our tickets. I said lamely,"I don't have". Then he proceeded to papa, who was in front of me, and pointed us to the direction of our cabins. AH Busted! Haha. We guesses he already knew from the beginning, but just let us off on the account that there were a lot of empty seats. So we went back, and soon after there was only an hour left to KL. An uncle who was seated near us and talked to my mama along the journey alighted. He provided a lot of useful info about taking trains to for us. Our plans for Father's Day were already churining out. Finally we reached KL KTM train station at 3.30pm. Woo. The train station here in KL is a far cry from those we saw along the way here. Those are just the low-tech, plain ones that resemble bus stops, but over here, it'a like an MRT staion, air-con and indoor shopping and all. Then we booked two taxis from the train station's taxi booth and went off. Papa and i in one cab, didi, mama and bro in the other. Off to HOTEL MALAYA.
We checked in and took a good rest. Then we took a walk around Chinatown(we just exit from our hotel and that's it) and had Chee Cheong Fun for a snack. It's all cold, but very tasty nevertheless. I guess the shop owners must be glad that we came in when they were closing for the day and earn some profit for their leftovers. Then we made our way back to the hotel as it started to rain. Then mama and me and didi went down once in the search of slippers(we didn't bring), but as it was raining, we only manged to go into a souvenir shop(where i got pretty shoelaces). When the rain stopped we went to get toothbrushes(the hotel doesn't provide anymore!) and slippers, gao lut and giant lychees. We went back again and finally all went down for dinner. At this restaurant Loong Kee. Food is okay only. Lemon chicken is yummy. Then we bought stuff from a comic shop and went back.
SLEEP. =)
15 June 2007, Friday
I had a bad sleep partly due to the incessant tugging of the blanket from didi(three of us siblings shared two single beds), and he forcibly pushed me to the side of the bed several times. Argh. We woke up at 9++++am. Went down for breakfast at 10am at the hotel's restaurant buffet. It ends at 10am, officially, but... We went in, didi, me and mama. Grabbed the food which is not very nice. Then bro came in, followed by papa who had taken a walk long before we woke up. Haha.
After breakfast we walked to Pasar Seni LRT station(Putra line), and took the train to KLCC. MAMA STOLE THE LRT CARD!!! Hahaha. The card was supposed to go into the ticketing machine when we exit, but mama just went through the gate with me when i inserted the card. Hee. Firstly we exited from the front of KLCC and took dozens of photos of the Petronas Twin Towers. Then we walked further away, to where a swimming pool was. It's more of a playplace. Cause the water is really shallow and there were artificial waterfalls. Then there were these ceramic pathways built above the water, and bro and i walked along them to take some photos, when an officer blew her whistle and asked us to take off our shoes. We insisted that we were going back, and we shot our refutes here and there for a few seconds, but in the end she gave up and said "Aiya" and we went back. Hahaha. Mama apologised to her. We went back to KLCC, and bro found this Skybrige Visit thing, which is tickets are given out to allow visitors to visit the Skybridge(the bridge in the middle and centre of the twin towers. Ah well. Tickets all given out. So we visited the exibition and wasted some time there playing with the brain teasers. Next we went for lunch at the second floor of the Ampang Mall, Suria KLCC. MacDonald's again. Hahaha. We discussed the programmes for the next day. We actually wanted to visit the Skybridge but decided against it as it is a waste of time and train fares to do that. Next is shopping time!
Firstly, Teddy Tales, where i bought a pile of shit the time NCHS brought us here. Exquisite but expensive stuff. Then we went to Isetan, which was streaming with people. Looks like there's a sale there from 14-17 June. Then papa a yellow polo tee and bro bought a black striped shirt and a sleeveless shirt which he intends to use as a vest. Didi and i wanted to buy a skateboard with a skull motif on the underside but mama won't allow, saying that it's a chore to bring it back. Then we looked at Converse sneakers as well. Cheaper of course, and i saw a pair of RM 439.00 limited edition golden senakers from japan which is totally so cool but costly. So i gave up on the idea. Hahaha.
And we left. We entered a very fragrant shop and mama got two dangling decorations to hang in the car. Mama bought a pair of slippers from Bata. I was telling her that all she buys are shoes. Ha. We went to Petrosains, the exhibition, but never entered it. Hell all the shops there are branded or good quality ones. Then we went back to Isetan again, and didi got his Megatron, which is cheaper by $15 to buy it there. At G2000, papa got three pieces of shirts. Bro and i purposely visited Topshop/Topman. Their stuff are not appealing at all. And the Giordano there is more expensive!
At long last we went back to take the train again. Bro and didi STOLE the cards! Hahaha. Anyway, we found out from a brochure that today is the last day the one-trip card will be in use, and it wll be 'abolished' the next day. What luck. Haha.
Went back to the hotel for a short while's rest, before we went down again. We walked around and bought T-shirts. Then we went back to the Sa Bou Fan (simply said, Claypot Rice) stall we saw earlier and ate there. Quite nice, according to the rest of the family. Hahaha. But i just ate the rice cause the chicken sucks. The soup is wonderful, however.
Sleep.
16 June 2007, Saturday
Good sleep cause didi slept in the gap between the two beds. HAHA. Nobody stole my blankie cause he stole bro's. Ha. We went down to Chinatown for breakfast. Didi and i had porridge while the rest had Chee Cheong Fun. Up next, we walked to Plaza Rakyat LRT station(i forgot what line). It's those kind of overhead one where you have to go down the escalator once more if you go to the wrong side. So we went up this side, and we weren't sure if it goes in the right direction, so my mama asked a woman, she said she don't know, asked another one, she was hesitant at first, but later said yes. So we took the train, which by right, will go to Hang Tuah in one stop. Next stop, NOT Hang Tuah. Shit man. So we went down and asked the chinese uncle there, who is very rude and told my mama to go to the opposite and take taxi when asked how to go to TImes Square. So i purposely spoke a few sentences which got thorns inside. Then after a few angry moments we crossed the road to the opposite side(yes we had to cross the road to get to the opposite platform), where the service officers are much more polite. So we backtracked two stations, and we alighted at Hang Tuah. Next we walked to the Monorail station and took the Monorail to Imbi station(yes, i'm a map expert). Firstly we went in search of the Grassland booth, where we are supposed to collect our bus tickets the next day. Ok done.
So we went to Times Square. It's an enormous shopping mall containing ten floors. Firstly, we went to Metrojaya, somewhat alike to our very own Metro, where i got a substitute for Kok Meng. Yay! And didi got a walrus. Then we went to the mens' section where papa bought a tee and didi bought two tees from this brand Zero Hour. Damn all their sizes are S, and they are NEW arrivals. Dumb or what? So the guy there told us to go to Level 6 to the main store where we can find more of their shirts. So we went to the sixth floor, and i got two shirts from Extreme. Yeah, they sell Zero Hour shirts. And we took a look at the indoor amusement park. So far the only thing that is of interest to me is the roller coaster. So we went to ask the person at the ticket counter about park rides and stuff, and we found out it's a la theme park, one ticket for unlimited rides. Hmm.... NO WAY! What a lousy amusement park. And it's indoor. Puh-lease l-a-h. So i recommended my family to Kenny Rogers' which i had tasted once in SIngapore ages ago with my ex-tuition teacher. Aside from the poor service, the food wasn't very nice. We had to repeat our orders several times you know. And the two cups orange juice didn't come until we packed up to leave. HAHA. Serves you right. Okay.
So we ventured off again, up and up we go the escalators, up and up and it becomes more and more desolate. Too many floors, i guess. Then we went to this 'Super Cool Hobby' shop which sells the ghouly and the funny. Masks, hats, wigs and chopped legs and chopped hands wrapped in plastic film on a styrofoamplate like your chicken from NTUC. I got a cap where twangy golden-brown maggi mee hair came out from the back, didi got a pirate bandana, and bro got a cowboy hat. I discovered those BOOM hair which looked so good on didi, but sadly he didn't want to get it. So we wore our stuff around the mall, where my beauuuuutiful hair apparently garnered a lot of attention. And when didi got his ice cream, the salesperson was calling him 'Jack Sparrow" all the way. We actually wanted to go bowling, but the bowling alley was closed for tournament. Sigh. So we decided to catch a movie, "Men In White" and up we went to the 10th floor. Bummer. They only have 3D stuff there, and the real movies are at the lower floor, where we remembered snaking lines of people were queuing up for movie tics. Okay. So we decided to do more shopping at Sungei Wang. Walking to the outside of TS, there was a car carnival there. Some sorta car racing event, and two girls were dancing and singing onstage. Nobody gave any applause unless encouraged by the emcee. Then brothers and i climbed up the platform behind the stage and got chased down by a security officer. Haha. So much trouble.
We walked around the first few floors, and went to the arcade. My bro and i competed on the drums. This time round i found it very hard for the computer to register the hits. Then i went to try my luck at the catching machines. Ah... Shrek is too heavy to be lifted, and Snoopy is too crafty to get him out. Then we had Daytona, my didi and i. After our race i saw this guy looking in our direction(he was seated on didi's right, and my didi was on my right). And we went out of the arcade. Then my papa was telling us off for venturing into the arcade by ourselves and that the group of Malay guys there are bad guys, that they even smoke in there when it's not allowed. Oh. No wonder i smell smoke while driving. He was alsp saying about my bro who wore his hat(we took off ours cause it was hot). Then did i realise WOAH, REALLY. Yeah. Mama then said that was why papa and her were standing there while we played. Yeah we certainly can't outfight them.
After the shock(are you shocked too?) we went to the sixth floor, the world of young people. We bought some stuff from a everything '2 for $30' shop. A spongebob cushion, a tie, a lion pillow and one more Kok Meng.
Then we had dinner at a restaurant in Chinatown. Sobs i only had broccoli to eat. Then we went home.
Not before we went in search for the Superman and Batman belts. Then we passed by a stall which sells colourful striped socks. I wanted to get it, but the stupid damn chinese auntie was so impolite. When my mama realised she wasn't your friendly vendor and said she wanted to consider, the fucking auntie said,"Something so cheap also need to consider ah? Huh?" Wah lao eh fuck her lah. It's so appalling.
After walking for a long time and making bro realise that he had a wrong impression of the colour schemes of the Batman belts, didi and i got a Superman belt each from a Chinese man.
At the hotel we were packing up for the next day. Quite a lot of stuff we bought. That night, i decided to rename my Kok Meng. The monkey's name was changed to BEEEEEEEEEE......., for convenience sake and reality sake(she looked more like Bee, and didi's looked more like Kok Meng).
Sleep. => We joined up the beds again.
17 June 2007, Sunday
I was awoken at 9am by mama. After breakfast(mama bought two kee changs to bring onto the bus) and a few sticks of youtiao, we went to the temple nearby. After that we went back to the hotel to rest and pack up, and we left for TImes Square. We took two taxis there, luggage and all, opposite Times Square. We settled at a mini kopitiam, and papa, bro and i went opposite to take a walk around TS. Bro bought two vests(he says the lecture halls in Uni are cold haha). We realised we had maligned mama by saying she was wrong on the route from TS to Sungei Wang. WE were wrong. Then we went back at 12pm. Then the five of us walked to Melia Hotel and had lunch there. After ordering papa and i took a walk around the area. Food was good. But. It was a very expensive lunch. Hahaha. The manager sabo us.
Then we waited at the lobby, sitting on the sofas, and mama and i went to get info about room rates of the hotel. We decided this hotel would be more convenient to take Grassland buses and go shopping then Hotel Malaya. Haha. Then mama went missing and we realised she was queuing up for the bus tics. After a long while she still haven't come back yet, so i went to scout. AHA! Something cropped up. There were NO seats for us on the bus home. Somehow there's a communication problem between the two sides. Meanwhile we went to Melia to get the luggage while papa waited for instructions. Mama called back to Singapore to complain under influence from bro. Hee. Finally they found a way out and we boarded the bus 8899. I could hear grouses of the people on the bus saying that they were in the wrong seats. Hahaha. Then some people got off the bus. 2.40pm. The bus started moving, and more people got off the bus until only the five of us were left. One of the two drivers told us that they were fetching only the five of us back to Singapore. Initially i was sceptical, but that's it! So in the end we got something out of nothing. So if you look into our bus, you would think that we are super-duper rich, cause WE, the FIVE OF US, booked the whole entire Super VIP 26-seater. HAHAHAHAHAHA. But it doesn't make much difference EXCEPT that you can move around as and when as you wished. I joined papa at the front for the scenery at first, then i went back to the middle to have some sleep. By the time i rose it was 4 plus 5. Then we stopped by Yong Peng for a twenty-min break, and set off again.
We went through Malaysia customs. Hell it was quick cause there are only LIMA ORANG. HARK HARK! Then bro told me that he saw a boy who was stunned when he saw us, AND our bus. Wah shiok. Hahaha. Then we brought everything down at Singapore customs, and they fetched us back to Beach Road. And we queued up for taxi.
Wow who would have thought we had a whole bus to ourselves? But mama's right. They'd have to pay us for an additional day's hotel fee if we were to take the next day's bus. And since this bus is heading home, we might as well take it. The drivers were going to fetch a new group to Taiping at 9pm.
Ah. So we reached home. And we got our hamsters back from 14 Auntie. Then we went to AMK for dinner. Ooh Jacky's not coming back. Everything is gone, the carrier, the playpen... But it's okay. We have Ah boy, the handsome and cutest mutt around here.
Ah, sleep.
=)
Hey i've saved up a lot on this trip!

15 June 2007, Friday
I had a bad sleep partly due to the incessant tugging of the blanket from didi(three of us siblings shared two single beds), and he forcibly pushed me to the side of the bed several times. Argh.

The card was supposed to go into the ticketing machine when we exit, but mama just went through the gate with me when i inserted the card. Hee. Firstly we exited from the front of KLCC and took dozens of photos of the Petronas Twin Towers. Then we walked further away, to where a swimming pool was. It's more of a playplace. Cause the water is really shallow and there were artificial waterfalls. Then there were these ceramic pathways built above the water, and bro and i walked along them to take some photos, when an officer blew her whistle and asked us to take off our shoes. We insisted that we were going back, and we shot our refutes here and there for a few seconds, but in the end she gave up and said "Aiya" and we went back. Hahaha. Mama apologised to her. We went back to KLCC, and bro found this Skybrige Visit thing, which is tickets are given out to allow visitors to visit the Skybridge(the bridge in the middle and centre of the twin towers. Ah well.

MacDonald's again. Hahaha. We discussed the programmes for the next day. We actually wanted to visit the Skybridge but decided against it as it is a waste of time and train fares to do that. Next is shopping time!
Firstly, Teddy Tales, where i bought a pile of shit the time NCHS brought us here. Exquisite but expensive stuff. Then we went to Isetan, which was streaming with people. Looks like there's a sale there from 14-17 June. Then papa a yellow polo tee and bro bought a black striped shirt and a sleeveless shirt which he intends to use as a vest. Didi and i wanted to buy a skateboard with a skull motif on the underside but mama won't allow, saying that it's a chore to bring it back. Then we looked at Converse sneakers as well. Cheaper of course, and i saw a pair of RM 439.00 limited edition golden senakers from japan which is totally so cool but costly. So i gave up on the idea. Hahaha.
And we left. We entered a very fragrant shop and mama got two dangling decorations to hang in the car. Mama bought a pair of slippers from Bata. I was telling her that all she buys are shoes. Ha. We went to Petrosains, the exhibition, but never entered it. Hell all the shops there are branded or good quality ones. Then we went back to Isetan again, and didi got his Megatron, which is cheaper by $15 to buy it there. At G2000, papa got three pieces of shirts. Bro and i purposely visited Topshop/Topman. Their stuff are not appealing at all. And the Giordano there is more expensive!
At long last we went back to take the train again. Bro and didi STOLE the cards! Hahaha. Anyway, we found out from a brochure that today is the last day the one-trip card will be in use, and it wll be 'abolished' the next day. What luck. Haha.
Went back to the hotel for a short while's rest, before we went down again. We walked around and bought T-shirts. Then we went back to the Sa Bou Fan (simply said, Claypot Rice) stall we saw earlier and ate there. Quite nice, according to the rest of the family. Hahaha. But i just ate the rice cause the chicken sucks. The soup is wonderful, however.
Sleep.
16 June 2007, Saturday
Good sleep cause didi slept in the gap between the two beds. HAHA. Nobody stole my blankie cause he stole bro's. Ha. We went down to Chinatown for breakfast. Didi and i had porridge while the rest had Chee Cheong Fun. Up next, we walked to Plaza Rakyat LRT station(i forgot what line). It's those kind of overhead one where you have to go down the escalator once more if you go to the wrong side. So we went up this side, and we weren't sure if it goes in the right direction, so my mama asked a woman, she said she don't know, asked another one, she was hesitant at first, but later said yes. So we took the train, which by right, will go to Hang Tuah in one stop. Next stop, NOT Hang Tuah. Shit man. So we went down and asked the chinese uncle there, who is very rude and told my mama to go to the opposite and take taxi when asked how to go to TImes Square. So i purposely spoke a few sentences which got thorns inside. Then after a few angry moments we crossed the road to the opposite side(yes we had to cross the road to get to the opposite platform), where the service officers are much more polite. So we backtracked two stations, and we alighted at Hang Tuah. Next we walked to the Monorail station and took the Monorail to Imbi station(yes, i'm a map expert). Firstly we went in search of the Grassland booth, where we are supposed to collect our bus tickets the next day. Ok done.
So we went to Times Square. It's an enormous shopping mall containing ten floors. Firstly, we went to Metrojaya, somewhat alike to our very own Metro, where i got a substitute for Kok Meng. Yay! And didi got a walrus. Then we went to the mens' section where papa bought a tee and didi bought two tees from this brand Zero Hour. Damn all their sizes are S, and they are NEW arrivals. Dumb or what? So the guy there told us to go to Level 6 to the main store where we can find more of their shirts. So we went to the sixth floor, and i got two shirts from Extreme. Yeah, they sell Zero Hour shirts. And we took a look at the indoor amusement park. So far the only thing that is of interest to me is the roller coaster. So we went to ask the person at the ticket counter about park rides and stuff, and we found out it's a la theme park, one ticket for unlimited rides. Hmm.... NO WAY! What a lousy amusement park. And it's indoor. Puh-lease l-a-h. So i recommended my family to Kenny Rogers' which i had tasted once in SIngapore ages ago with my ex-tuition teacher. Aside from the poor service, the food wasn't very nice. We had to repeat our orders several times you know. And the two cups orange juice didn't come until we packed up to leave. HAHA. Serves you right. Okay.
So we ventured off again, up and up we go the escalators, up and up and it becomes more and more desolate. Too many floors, i guess. Then we went to this 'Super Cool Hobby' shop which sells the ghouly and the funny. Masks, hats, wigs and chopped legs and chopped hands wrapped in plastic film on a styrofoamplate like your chicken from NTUC. I got a cap where twangy golden-brown maggi mee hair came out from the back, didi got a pirate bandana, and bro got a cowboy hat. I discovered those BOOM hair which looked so good on didi, but sadly he didn't want to get it. So we wore our stuff around the mall, where my beauuuuutiful hair apparently garnered a lot of attention. And when didi got his ice cream, the salesperson was calling him 'Jack Sparrow" all the way. We actually wanted to go bowling, but the bowling alley was closed for tournament. Sigh. So we decided to catch a movie, "Men In White" and up we went to the 10th floor. Bummer. They only have 3D stuff there, and the real movies are at the lower floor, where we remembered snaking lines of people were queuing up for movie tics. Okay. So we decided to do more shopping at Sungei Wang. Walking to the outside of TS, there was a car carnival there. Some sorta car racing event, and two girls were dancing and singing onstage. Nobody gave any applause unless encouraged by the emcee. Then brothers and i climbed up the platform behind the stage and got chased down by a security officer. Haha. So much trouble.
We walked around the first few floors, and went to the arcade. My bro and i competed on the drums. This time round i found it very hard for the computer to register the hits. Then i went to try my luck at the catching machines. Ah... Shrek is too heavy to be lifted, and Snoopy is too crafty to get him out. Then we had Daytona, my didi and i. After our race i saw this guy looking in our direction(he was seated on didi's right, and my didi was on my right). And we went out of the arcade. Then my papa was telling us off for venturing into the arcade by ourselves and that the group of Malay guys there are bad guys, that they even smoke in there when it's not allowed. Oh. No wonder i smell smoke while driving. He was alsp saying about my bro who wore his hat(we took off ours cause it was hot). Then did i realise WOAH, REALLY. Yeah. Mama then said that was why papa and her were standing there while we played. Yeah we certainly can't outfight them.
After the shock(are you shocked too?) we went to the sixth floor, the world of young people. We bought some stuff from a everything '2 for $30' shop. A spongebob cushion, a tie, a lion pillow and one more Kok Meng.
Then we had dinner at a restaurant in Chinatown. Sobs i only had broccoli to eat. Then we went home.
Not before we went in search for the Superman and Batman belts. Then we passed by a stall which sells colourful striped socks. I wanted to get it, but the stupid damn chinese auntie was so impolite. When my mama realised she wasn't your friendly vendor and said she wanted to consider, the fucking auntie said,"Something so cheap also need to consider ah? Huh?" Wah lao eh fuck her lah. It's so appalling.
After walking for a long time and making bro realise that he had a wrong impression of the colour schemes of the Batman belts, didi and i got a Superman belt each from a Chinese man.
At the hotel we were packing up for the next day. Quite a lot of stuff we bought. That night, i decided to rename my Kok Meng. The monkey's name was changed to BEEEEEEEEEE......., for convenience sake and reality sake(she looked more like Bee, and didi's looked more like Kok Meng).
Sleep. => We joined up the beds again.
17 June 2007, Sunday
I was awoken at 9am by mama. After breakfast(mama bought two kee changs to bring onto the bus) and a few sticks of youtiao, we went to the temple nearby. After that we went back to the hotel to rest and pack up, and we left for TImes Square. We took two taxis there, luggage and all, opposite Times Square. We settled at a mini kopitiam, and papa, bro and i went opposite to take a walk around TS. Bro bought two vests(he says the lecture halls in Uni are cold haha). We realised we had maligned mama by saying she was wrong on the route from TS to Sungei Wang. WE were wrong. Then we went back at 12pm. Then the five of us walked to Melia Hotel and had lunch there. After ordering papa and i took a walk around the area. Food was good. But. It was a very expensive lunch. Hahaha. The manager sabo us.
Then we waited at the lobby, sitting on the sofas, and mama and i went to get info about room rates of the hotel. We decided this hotel would be more convenient to take Grassland buses and go shopping then Hotel Malaya. Haha. Then mama went missing and we realised she was queuing up for the bus tics. After a long while she still haven't come back yet, so i went to scout. AHA! Something cropped up. There were NO seats for us on the bus home. Somehow there's a communication problem between the two sides. Meanwhile we went to Melia to get the luggage while papa waited for instructions. Mama called back to Singapore to complain under influence from bro. Hee. Finally they found a way out and we boarded the bus 8899. I could hear grouses of the people on the bus saying that they were in the wrong seats. Hahaha. Then some people got off the bus. 2.40pm. The bus started moving, and more people got off the bus until only the five of us were left. One of the two drivers told us that they were fetching only the five of us back to Singapore. Initially i was sceptical, but that's it! So in the end we got something out of nothing. So if you look into our bus, you would think that we are super-duper rich, cause WE, the FIVE OF US, booked the whole entire Super VIP 26-seater. HAHAHAHAHAHA. But it doesn't make much difference EXCEPT that you can move around as and when as you wished. I joined papa at the front for the scenery at first, then i went back to the middle to have some sleep. By the time i rose it was 4 plus 5. Then we stopped by Yong Peng for a twenty-min break, and set off again.
We went through Malaysia customs. Hell it was quick cause there are only LIMA ORANG. HARK HARK! Then bro told me that he saw a boy who was stunned when he saw us, AND our bus. Wah shiok. Hahaha. Then we brought everything down at Singapore customs, and they fetched us back to Beach Road. And we queued up for taxi.
Wow who would have thought we had a whole bus to ourselves? But mama's right. They'd have to pay us for an additional day's hotel fee if we were to take the next day's bus. And since this bus is heading home, we might as well take it. The drivers were going to fetch a new group to Taiping at 9pm.
Ah. So we reached home. And we got our hamsters back from 14 Auntie. Then we went to AMK for dinner. Ooh Jacky's not coming back. Everything is gone, the carrier, the playpen... But it's okay. We have Ah boy, the handsome and cutest mutt around here.
Ah, sleep.
=)
Hey i've saved up a lot on this trip!

V Is For Vacation
Hey my friends. Today is Blockbuster Wednesday. More to tell later.
So. Woke up at around 11am, and i continued to watch Shrek 2 on the internet. And checked out movie listings as well. Then my mama dabao lunch back. So we lunched while watching POTC2 DVD. We set off after lunch, about 2.30pm by then.
Took the train to Dhoby Ghaut. I misleaded my littlebro by leading him to the North-South line, thinking that we were going to Cineleisure. But we were actually going to The Cathay. Cause apparently, according to bigbro, the cinema for Shrek 3 at 3.30pm at Cathay is better than the same one at Cine. Yeah, so we went. 3.15pm, and the show starts at 3.30pm. And we bought the tickets, including those for the show later. Considering we were pretty late, the tics were pretty good.
Shrek 3. Nice show. I'm getting to really like Puss-in-Boots, cause of his Spanish accent (woo~ senor Antonio Banderas) and his innocent stare, and particularly cause he's a feline. And yeah, Donkey doesn't look too good with a innocent stare. Haha. A pretty entertaining movie, I'd say. Very nice. And of course, there's the forever happy Happy Ending. "So much for my happy ending..." And there's Justin Timberlake voicing Artie too. Ah, catch the movie yourself.
Ok. Next up, we went to Somerset after having dinner at PS's KFC.
Pirates Of The Carribean 3: At Word's End. Okay, first words first. We were about to enter Hall 8, when bigbro was saying something about the wrong door, wrong side, and i ended up opening an adjacent door which showed a rollinf film screen. Oops. A service person was coming over and asking,"May i help you, sir(my bro lah)?" And oops, we got the wrong seats, when the movie was into about three mins of the show. Hahaha. D3, D4, D5, and we got them wrong. So we went the big round by the front of the whole block of seats, and went to the other side. Alamak. The whole group who came later found themselves with less seats, and i found myself questioned by one of the guys: "Excuse me ma'm, what is your seat?" I said,"D3, D4, D5" without even looking at him(or in his direction) and nudged my brother, and after a while then did he respond, and tell us that we were in the wrong seats. What a wuffle-bubble.
Okay. The movie was pretty enchanting. Pretty dark too. Very action-packed, from what you would expect after the two prequels. I like it pretty much, although there were so blur-rish parts and lame jokes which i don'tknow whythewholeaudienceislaughingtoo. And. If you are watching it soon, stay back after the credits. Bigbro said he got some insider info from his informant that we should stay. And there was quite a lot of people who stayed. We all stayed. For the TWO-MINUTE extra film time. Hahahaha. Ah, i finally got a new tie.
Next stop, Zone X at The Atrium. We walked from Cine to Heeren and to PS. The arcade closes at 10.30pm. We were 15 mins early. Ha. I contested against bigbro on Japanese drums, while littlebro played with Crazy Taxi/Safari. He got a lousy drum where the middle part floats~~ up.(actually we exchanged) So it was actually harder for the drum to register the hits. Anyway both of us got through all the levels(3, to be exact). And alas, insufficient funds. So we finally made our way home.
Reached CP. I wanted to deposit my pay cheque(my mama got it ytd), but the shutters down, including those at the escalator. So? Went home lah.
Home came at 11pm. Bathed, surfed the net. I packed the stuff for tomorrow's trip.
Woo wow I'm so excited at the trip. This is the first time i'll be on a train, and it's not a normal MRT train, it's a Choo-choo train! Okay, maybe not a choo-choo one. Haha. Woah I can imagine the subtitles "SHANGHAI, 1978" appearing at the bottom of the TV screen while showing me board the train from the platform. HAHAHA.
Yes. OOH. Mu room had not been packed for two/three days.
And i found the cages gone when i reached home. Mama must have fetched them to the 14 Auntie. (Don't be misunderstood. 14 Auntie=Auntie who lives on the 14th floor.) Rest well, my babies.
See you people. I'll be back!
On 17th June 2007.
Maybe i'll get some souvenirs.
