*Sniff

I've been down with the flu bug for the past few days. Fever and congestion in my chest, throat and nasal passage. Its like Rush Hour the whole day. I can't even breathe properly, its sad.

The germs were passed on to me by my sister, who I think fell ill due to her classmates.

So its all their fault.

The June Holidays are here! Two more months to the official start of the semester. I can't wait. For all the uninformed, I have officially stashed away all the knowledge imparted to me by my dedicated tutors. All the insane mathematical and chemical jargon, I have forgotten. Although the terms "Ligand", "Chi-Square" and "regression lines" ring a bell, it is a very soft bell, nonetheless.

I need something to rewire and charge up my grey matter. Fast. Because I have an essay to write for the University Scholars' Programme interview by Friday. God please be with me.

Half the time I'm flipping the paper around to ensure that I'm reading the correct thing because the question is too profound for my lazy mind.

The flu makes it worse.

Exposed!

Wow wow wow, what have we here. So this show, Eye For a Guy 2 which airs on Ch 5 every Wednesday at 10pm, makes me think that really, guys think that there's no other way to a woman's heart, other than

MONEY!

Every episode, some guy will for sure pull the damsel away to surprise her with something material. Every week there's one guy who presents her with a gift. So last week, was her birthday week, and some guy gave her this Cartier pendant, which was entirely lovely and all. I turned to my mum and told her that this show makes viewers think that money wins everything. Well, at least it buys everything. Because all the guys at some point or another give her something of monetary value. Well, put aside the portraits, newspapers, singing (horrendous or not).

But seriously. It really does seem that way! Although I don't think the featured girl is materialistic.

So anyways, I received an email yesterday with pictures of her and who I guess must be the winner of this TV series in Bali! Someone who would only like to be known as Pa_Pa_Razzi saw them there. Oooh. And for you guys who are wondering, I reckon from the final 3, its not difficult to guess who. I mean, one of them, she thinks is "Eye for a friend", the other one she thinks is really cocky and the other one gave her the Cartier pendant and can converse with her in fluent German, so I don't think its hard to guess who, right? I will refrain from putting pictures up, scared kena sue by channel 5. Haha.

No la, I'm just lazy to upload the photos.

Oh anyways. American Idol, wrong winner. At least I think so. Well, at least Singapore Idol had the right winner, so that consoles me.

Okay out of point.

Its 2.10pm...

and the father and the sister are still asleep.

SO PIG RIGHT?!

The father went out fishing last night, and he caught zero fishes. I guess if I asked him he would say he caught ten, but he let them all go. The sister, to simply put it, is a huge fan of sleeping. She fell asleep at 9pm yesterday, and is still asleep now. Can't blame her, she just returned from her NCC camp yesterday.

I shan't even bother to comment about her camp.

You know that feeling where you wait and wait and wait for something, but you never get it? But once you get it, you just don't want it anymore? Like say you're hoping and hoping for an email, or a call. Waiting so hopefully that you go check your mail like twice every 30 seconds? Or check if your phone is put down properly every 5 seconds, but you don't get that email or call?

Then when you do get it, you just are so tired of waiting that you don't want it anymore? Or at the very least, you don't care anymore?

I think I'm ranting, but if you get me say Aye.

For a minute, all the world can wait. I'm looking forward to get out of Singapore, for a while. Its getting too weird. ((zat I can spell weird already))

Its almost 2.30pm and the two haven't stirred the least bit. The mother is in the living room sewing our Hari Raya clothes ((I know, I don't get it either)) and I've just vaccumed the entire house.

What a Monday.

The quest for the Ugly Green army socks

I spent the whole of Thursday night searching for my sister's olive green NCC socks. It mysteriously disappeared. I couldn't bear to see her so pathetically search for it while I scoot off to sleep. So I joined in the search. Argh, it was so stressful considering she had her annual camp the next day, so last minute packing and panicking. I called up all my pals from Crescent NCC in the hope of borrowing their socks and delivering it to RGS on Friday just for this stinky little sister of mine. But because of the insane time, none of them picked up the phone, except for Jasmine who threw away her socks already. BAHHH. She gave a great idea, to buy from Green Adventure. So that was the plan until...

It wasn't until 1am till my sister took out the entire drawer and it was on the inside of the drawer, where it fell out. Ah, what relief. So we were dancing and screaming in the middle of the night celebrating the new found glory. My sister even wanted to blog it all down right there and then. -__-

Ah, my phone just vibrated. My sister just sms-ed me. She hasn't bathed since yesterday. Yikes. Yeah, one sucky things about these camps is that they don't allow you to bathe. ><(eh faster come home la im really bored)

I digress.

So after finding the socks, I was relieved that I didn't have to make the whiny trip down to her school. But alas, on Friday morning, she called me, interrupting my sleep and asked for me to bring her shoe box to her school for her.

WAH YOU KNOW HOW FAR RGS IS A NOT?!

#^%^*$%%^$#&*

WHO puts boots in a plastic bag!? Tell me? I told her to put it in the shoebox, she insisted to put her boots in a plastic bag. Oh, her intelligence amazes me. Even til today. Haha.


Why is it when I had the computer to myself last Friday night none of you were online?! When my sister is using, everyone will be online. Bahhh. Haha. I sound soooo loser-ish. I think i'm evolving into one.

Yesterday because I was so bored my entertainment at night was courtesy of atikk monika matthews. I shan't reveal the details because it is so embarassing and both of us were really bored. So when u have two girls, who are really bored, they talk about stuff that should not be mentioned.

You don't know how selenger some people can be.

Babaaaaaaa Lydiaaaaaaa come online soon. I got stuff to tell you two about!

Okay this post is redundant but I'm really bored. So can't help it.

The tale of the war against roaches

A couple of nights ago, my sister and I faced a war against roaches which invaded the shoebox which my sister's Nikes were happily in. Like intruders, the roaches, two of them, started a family within the shoebox, breeding inside the shoe. Inside the box were a million unhatched eggs and a billion young ones. It was disgusting.

My sis and I are complete wusses when it comes with roaches. So there we were equipped with baygon and the vaccuum cleaner surrounding the box.



We killed one and the other one was hiding inside the shoe. The sick part was that it was pregnant. Those horny roaches.



So anyways, after much waiting and screaming and running around, it (or she) finally reared her ugly head and baygon brought her down. There, can you see the egg? Its lodged in her butt. That white thingy. -shudders-



Die bitch, die.

So if you're being a roach, stay far, far away from me because you:

- ruin people's life
- invade in their privacy
- are utterly annoying
- have no respect for people
- bring more harm than good
- make me want to spray baygon all over you
- are horny
- have a sucky attitude
- love seeing people fuss over you
- think people are afraid of you but actually they just wanna kill you
- are a pain in my neck

I will quote Baba. Don't incur the wrath of a girl in a "Oh whatever" mood.

I am not referring to anyone in particular (or am I?) So if you think I'm referring to you, please, don't shiok sendiri. thanks.

I'm in a high end state of pms.

With people like this, who needs enemies.

On a lighter note, the shoe is now clean and free from roaches. Heh Heh Heh. =D

Choices choices choices

Okay so now I've got to decide what major I should read. Argh. I hate this. Before me are a myriad of choices and I've got to lay my finger on one. Well, at least I know I'm not doing anything associated with physics, or the like. Thats like academic suicide for me.

Well, thing is I must know what I want my degree scroll to say. Bahh. I've got quite a number of options. I can major in chem, minor in some other, or I can ultimately read math, which I would love, but there's no lab work, so boo to that. OR I can opt for something along the lines of biological sciences. Since I have already done Chemistry and Math in JC, why not try something new? I don't see any harm in it since the Biological Sciences have relations to Chemistry. So there.

How now brown cow.

And there's the Student Exchange program (SEP) and double degrees and joint degrees and Oh, what is this world coming to? There's so much to do, so much I wanna do, I don't know where to begin.

God please help me.

Some changes

Argh. Why must there be change? I know the only thing constant nowadays is change, but why oh why must it happen. My driving instructor sold his auto car and thus, left me with a new one, which in my opinion, entirely sucked.

Why did you leave me Williammmmmmmmm??? -wails-

okay, I'm crazy, but I SWEAR the new instructor is suckyyy. First things first, his car does not have an additional brake pedal on the instructor side, so if I screw up, its byebye to his car. Also, the absence of the additional break pedal makes me feel less safe.

Secondly, and lastly, when he speaks, I cringe.

"Okay, lelulce (reduce) your speed"

"The stop line must stop okay. Even if got geelo(zero) car must stop."

Arrghh....help me.

Anyways, enough of insane rambling. I'm becoming really indignant. Straits Times on Sunday published a really interesting article about how blogging can get you into trouble with the law. And there was a point mentioned there that I really liked. I always blog hop and I myself have said these words "Its my blog, I can say what I want". I'm sure lots of bloggers have said that at least once. But in actual fact your blog is in cyberspace, which is public domain. Therefore, your blog is public, and you cannot say what you want.

Ah, yes even if you put those crafty password javascript to restrict the people who read your blog and you insult a higher authority, they will bring you down.

Cool stuff.

Bahh. Someone give some english lessons to my instructor please.

D-r-u-g Lord(ess)

Aaaanyway, These few days, I've been keeping myself very very occupied with Drug Lord. I hope me blogging about druglord won't get people looking for drugs on my blog. Well, hello, paedophiles and people searching for hardcore nudity HAVE landed on my blog for whatever apparent reason.

Yuck.

Anyways. Yeah, speaking of DrugLord. Its great, I tell you. Go dload it from download.com or something. Its really small in size, 784kb I think. You assume the role of a dealer and buy or sell stuff till you get filthy rich. Its a business game. Heh, I'm workin on my entrepreneurial skills, sial. Considering the fact that my uncle TRIED to psycho me to join his business venture with this company which I shall not name to sell stuff that I think are really ripping people off.

Imagine a $2000++ bra. BRA!

I shall not comment further. Its too insane.

Heh, heh. I digress.

Back to druglord. Pardon the crude role that you take, but its just a matter of buying and selling, really. I still remember the guys in my class always hog the class computers to see who is a better druglord. And I thought the game was boring!? Oh boy, I must be really bored nowadays. So if you're going to get offended by you know, faking to be a dealer, then don't play it okay.

Aaaah. If you're too free, like me, go check Untitled by Simple Plan out. Its great. Its soooo un-Simple Plan-ish.

Heh.

The Emancipation of Amy.

Haha, okay that was a corny title. Spoof of Mariah's new album hehh hehh. Anyways, Mothers' Day was yesterday, and like I said in my entry for last year's Mother's Day, everyday should be Mothers' Day! But anyhoos, I shall blog about my mother in this entry.

Something's gotten into her!

These past few days, when she cries, it will be because of these three reasons.

1) The Late Dr Wee Kim Wee. Every single article she reads about him, she will cry.

2) Mother's Day articles in the newspaper. Particularly reading about Taufik Batisah's mother and how poor they were. She cried. Alot.

3) Thinking about Lydia and how she's going to leave her mother behind when she leaves for Perth. This is scary because she will cry at random times of the day. Like when she's cooking, she may cry. Or sometimes while watching TV. Its really scary. Like one moment she's laughing at some funny scene and the other, she's bawling her eyes out. Anyways, she has volunteered to sponsor me an air ticket next June to fly to Perth to visit Lydia (( can la ah, lydia? )). And I'm not complaining. Heh Heh.

Baaaahhhh. My mother ah. Superrrrrr emo.

Aaaaanywaysssss, my stagnant application status for NUS has finally been approved! They select based on choice as opposed to merit. Hrrrrmph. Oh, this was the only occassion yesterday that my mum didn't cry. She was jumping around the house in glee, together with me. Now my parents call me "the undergraduate". I think its kinda weird why they didn't call me "the undergraduate" when I received my acceptance letter to NTU in early April.

Oh, so NUS only undergraduate lah.

I wouldn't like to think so far, but I hope I'm making the right choice by going to NUS rather than NTU.

But seriously speaking, its really scary to think that I'm going to be in uni in a couple of months time. Sometimes its really unbelievable. On another note, at least I have Ain in the same faculty and Baba & Atikk a stones' throw away. Some familiar faces to calm the bundle of nerves.

Pics!

Here are the photos, as promised. My aunt deleted the photo she sneaked of us sleeping. grr. Anyways,



Left hand side of the picture ((inside the house la, heh)), the solemn akad nikah was being carried out and here we are being absolute photo whores. Hehh hehh. These are all of my cousins, the Singaporeans. Didn't have time to take photo with the Malaysian ones because they were busy with the wedding and all. (I told you we were absolute pigs)


I told you there was really alot of flies. I think Akmal grabbed one. Yeah, he's the only boy cousin on the Singapore side. His adorable sister is the one directly below me. I am the eldest among them, most are the same age as my sister-- Akmal, my sister, the one beside my sister and the red one beside me are of the same age. Maturity, I'm not so sure. hehh hehh.
And my parents would never fail to take photo at the pelamin. Maybe they're reminiscing on when they were seated there themselves. Or just shiok sendiri lah.


And they always happen to wear matching colours with the bride and groom, hence the colour of the pelamin. The last time it was green.oh well.

I want to scream.

This whole process of Uni entry is really driving me freaking crazy. It really does, cosidering the fact that the number of primary schools outnumber the secondary schools which outnumber the junior colleges which inturn, drastically outnumbers the number of universities in singapore. Hmm.

Aaaaanyways. Enough of my rattling. I have made up my mind. I'm just waiting for the letter.

Had driving yesterday, did parallel parking, and it was easy too. I'm driving an automatic so these things come easy. Like what Atikk said, she has to park her manual with both legs hanging in the air. And not only parking, U turns and yada yada.

My phone has screwed up on me. I swear. I want to change phone! But I can't do so till two more paychecks. I'm abstaining from shopping. For a long time.

Right, this has been yet another pointless entry, but I just needed to get it off my chest. Heh heh.

Mr Brightside

That must be one of the nicest songs, but I fail to grasp the meaning.

Anyways. Met up with Ba and Lydia yesterday at Orchard. Really miss those two... Kinda sad that Lydia's leaving for Australia, but hey, we can go visit yeah, like she suggested.

Those two, I believe are God's little gifts to me.

Of debates and flies.

Was at the Malay debate at the Sultan Mosque on Saturday. The ultimate final showdown between RGS and SJI. The latter won. I shan't delve into the details because honestly, there are two ways of looking at it. I really thought RGS had better content. Way better content.

I thought the event was really fun, actually. Was there with Ba and Ain. And got to know this guy Harun who got into NUS Medicine. Man I was so envious. -looks at ain =D- Yeah, and the highly cute Dr Vivian Balakrishnan was there to grace the event as an apt Guest of Honour. I didn't know it was him until he was 3/4s through his speech. I suspected, but didn't want to believe my eyes. I've been a fan for quite sometime. He's Ain's new favourite minister.

Sunday was a two hours drive to my aunt's house in batu pahat where my eldest cousin got married. I swear the next time I go to Malaysia, it will be in a bikini. Okay, i was joking. Me, my sister and the rest of our cousins are probably the most useless bums you can ever find. During the akad nikah, we were sitting around the pelamin talking about God knows what and swatting flies. After that, we made my youngest uncle bring us food, and drinks.

THEN, because of the sweltering heat and the non-airconditioned house/bungalow/kampong, all 7 of us girls sat in one of the rooms and started to read books. My sister was studying Lit. I read some lousy Ghost story book. One by one, the heat proved too much for us to take and we started removing our tudungs.

After that like a domino effect, we fell asleep. And it was supposed to be a joyous occasion. How joyful. Seriously it was dammmmmm hot. I swear it was like a sauna. But with flies. Joy to the world when it started to pour, but then more flies entered the house.

Anyways, the kids are having their Mid Year Exams. That means stress for me too. Bahhh.
