Disturbed.

Well I am very disturbed. I plonked down ALL the points in my account for the bridging module of Applied Chem. That makes 2 crazy modules. Weighing both, I had to drop Bio, considering that I could do it next sem. Oh My God la.

Then it left me with the decision -- What module to do, to replace Bio.

@!$@#^$@#^#$%#@

I am only a child. Please don't torture me like this, NUS.

Happy bidding! :D :D

BlogFeat.

Well I sincerely forgot where I got this link from, but I was doing my usual click around, and its HELL funny. Its 2.45am, the house is quiet and here I am chuckling/laughing at it. Its a blog entry titled "How Girls waste time / The stupid things that girls do"

Go have a read, if you're stuck at home with nothing to do, its a rather long entry though.

Click here!

These are my favourites!

10. "Cute" stuff (real or contrived) - including dolls, origami, soft toys and fads (Tare Panda - on drugs and squashed by a steamroller, Hello Kitty - no mouth, Powerpuff Girls - sickly 'sweet' voices reminiscent of the smell of decaying flesh, Qoo drink's mascot - one ear, Disgusting Chick [Groovy Chick] stationery etc...)

11. Colour coding / decorating things (esp those with obsessive compulsive disorder) - writing their names on their notes in fanciful fonts / Doodling / vandalising friends' notes with flowers etc / sparkles on handphone screens? / Squirting fabric paint on the insides of their belt/shoes/bag/lockers/files/whatever they get their hands and fabric paint on

11. b) Drawing cute pictures (flowers, cartoons, hearts, etc...) on each other's body parts (tighs, legs, hands, arms, palms, neck, face, etc...)

14. Little notes on sparkly perfumed light purple paper with fluorescent pink ink, decorated with various grotesque shapes and entities

15. Perfecting printed handwriting (usually small / invisible) / writing in 'cute' font (or 6 different colours and pen tip sizes)

17. Giggling or laughing at everything and nothing / squealing (sometimes like small girls) (even over vegetables?) / yelping / screaming / shrieking (eg playing ball games - when they catch/throw the ball, when the ball comes near/almost hits them, when insects come near) / jumping up and down

27. Holding hands while waving and skipping / bouncing / bounding around

27. a) Holding another girl's hand and swinging it up and down repeatedly, like a swing (bahahaa!)

61. Playing with each other's hair (One day in the RJ canteen, I saw some J2s girls: one's hair was being braided into 2 pigtails by 3 others and 4 spectators looked on), bouncing or tugging fringes and ponytails

62. In RGS, the girls watch sunrises through school windows (!!)

70. Faking cramps so they don't have to do PE (totally laaaa!)

94. Making either a) pastel coloured blogs with lots of pictures of cute stuffed toys and hearts, exclamation marks, animated gifs/marquees, horrific grammar and observations about boys who are "very cuuuutte... but mi scared to tok to him lor.. nvr see b4... teeheehee" or b) pastel or red-and-black blogs with strange titles on each entry "lace bleeding along my thighs" / "whimsical rhapsodies playing in my cranium" and general moody bitching that comes straight ouf ot a Tori Amos song.

This HAS to be my ultimate favourite because I swear, I've not seen a guy with any of the below-mentioned items. Plus I'm guilty of the highlighter pen thing. No wait, you should take a peek into my sister's 42 inch(okay la, I bluff, its the really huge long one) roxy pencil case. She has around 3 functioning blue pens, the rest are coloured Zig markers. She has so many of those that you really cant zip the gigantic pencil case. And yes, we do have millions of pencil cases.

55. Carrying around a surfeit of stationery - eg 30 of the funny highlighter pens with a marker on one side, and a pen on the other / owning about a million bags + pencil cases + wallets (purses) + handphone covers to match their mood/clothes/bedsheets/room color/menstrual flow and what not

Still in KL

Wow, I must have had the WORST train ride EVERRR today! We usually take the monorail to Petaling Street (cannot go because kena raid) or Masjid India from the hotel just outside Imbi station but today my mum wanted to go to some mall at MidValley. So we had to take the monorail to KL Sentral and walk to another train station to take the train to MidValley. (you know, the place they always mention on Nickelodeon's Spongebob's Birthday BOP (haha!).. "MidValley, Lingkaran Syed Putra, P.O.box....").

Gawd! When you experience the train system there, you will thank God that you are Singaporean, and living in Singapore. (Singaporean but live in KL also no use what...)

The train platform, for once, is maybe as long as our MRT platform, so that means you can wait anywhere along the platform, right, also since there's absolutely NO indication where the doors are supposed to be. BUT, HEYHEYHEY, when the train finally arrives, it is only half the length of the freaking platform! so that means the people who wait at the back half of the platform have to run run run to the front!

Wait! That's NOT all!

Okay maybe I will praise the punctuality of the trains. The signboard says the train will depart at 1247. The train arrives at 1245, if you are lucky 1243, and then as you wait at the door, people inside rush outside and people outside rush inside. BUT the people who rush inside REFUSE to move inside, they stand at the door, leaving the carriage EMPTY but clog up the entrance. So in other words as you try to squeeze into the train, the door suddenly closes. "WHY? Shouldn't the train driver see that theres still a whole BARRAGE of people trying to enter?" you ask? Yes, he can see, but, its 1247 already, the train must depart. So, in other words, you have to squeeze into the train in 2 minutes.

Wait! That's NOT all!

Squeezing in the train in 2 minutes is alright what..right? Yes, Alright if you're in Singapore squeezing into the MRT during rush hour, because the door opening is WIDE enough for at least 4 people to simultaneously go in or out. The train in KL, WOW! the door is wide enough for ONE person. In other words, if you stand at the door, no one can get in or out past you. That's how small the door opening is. And remember, you have a time limit to squeeze into the train!

Haha, whoever who designed the train system, should seriously consider going back to design school.

All train rides aside, the monorail system is great, although the monorail is also like 1/4 the length of the platform. The food here is great, the shopping is insane. KL rocks la, in other words.

Blogging on the go!

Just checked into Melia Kuala Lumpur a couple of hours ago. The family is out, while I chose to stay behind because the flu has just stepped into the next dimension. I seriously wish I could cut off my nose or something.

Well, an interesting tidbit for the day. The lady at the reception counter who checked us in, her name was "Chee". How unfortunate. Well, when her friends say 'Bye' to her..

Gawd I am so bored. Yana is online and she just sent over the revised 'features' of NUSMS Marketing.

Amasham, talk about work on the go.

Peninggggg tauuu -with hand action-

Undergraduate exam results were released today, so I checked mine in school, 15mins after the release. Talk about can't wait. I'm relatively okay with mine, just can't settle for it, got to work harder next sem. That's always the case. Arrrrr, Some vicious cycle this is.

Shah came over today, and we just spent the entire time addressing certain issues, and crapping. Man, that was fun. I'm just happy that I can talk to her, and vice versa. She rocks la, in other words. Yey! Sayang Shah. Peningggggg tauuu! :p

Anyways, my mum came back slightly earlier today from her company's year end party where she got all the party hats and gizmos.

So..



Happy Holidays people!

Meetings and the like.

The 3J team will be setting off on the 26th. Damn, I wish I could join them. Was at one of the final meetings at Plaza Sing, where it was fun to hang out with the Arts babes (ie Atikk and Hanom) again. Well excluding Babs since we meet on a regular basis. She just CAN'T get enough of me, I swear. :p

So as usual, the cam-whoring and the "Amy aku nak yang itu!" happens.


And meet my dear PD.


Goodluck in Pahang guys.

Girls' Day Out..

Well at least for Babs and I :)

Happy 19th to Ain! I, for one had a great time at her mini birthday bash. It was fun, eating her swensen's disney princess cake, where ain ate Belle and I ate the Beast (icing) off the cake. Yumyum. It was a good come back from staying at home and puking my guts out, so yey!

So, oh wells, Ain naturaly took out a stack of (original, mind you) DVDs to watch AND they, meaning Babs and Shah settled on 'Shall We Dance'. Well, I bought the DVD from Jakarta, and haven't exactly got down to watching it, so why not.

Well, it WASN'T full of J.Lo's ass, according to Dazrillosaurus. But it was FULL of the ever so dashing Richard Gere. Gosh, hes one old guy that is STILL drop dead georgeous. Its sooooo super sweet and the one part that remained etched in my mind was when Richard Gere was going up the escalator, rose in hand and that winning smile -melts-

ah there.


could you die?!

"Its a silly rose"
"Its beautiful.."

"Why aren't you at the party?"
"Oh, because its a dance, and to dance you need a partner. My partner is right here..Beverly, dance with me?"

"I don't know how.."
"Yeah you do, you've been dancing with me for 19 years.."
"I don't know the steps.."
"I'll teach you.."


"here?"


"Right now.."

Aaahhhh.

wrong wrong wrong

My body is objecting very violently to God knows what.

Why body? What have I done wrong? I've treated you well, both overseas and back home. I've even done your favourite form of exercise-- shopping. I've fed you well and I've brought you to meet all the people you love.

So why are you rejecting all the food I put in? What's that I hear? You want chocolate? You can't have chocolate you twerp. Didn't you hear the doctor? He said no milk. Which also means no nescafe 3-in-1 and no Milo. Which means you have to make do with tea okay. I'm liking it fine, so its time you like it too! Yes I know, we're both missing ice cream. But I can wait so you should too!

So body, I'm sick of you being sick so now you play by my rules. Quickly disgest all the medication I put into you, or else I'm going to start swimming and running again. To make matters worse, I'll even start studying. No you like that, don't you? You lifeless nerd. So you better get well soon. And yes, that's a threat.

gurgling stomach juices

Your fingertips are numbed by the cold, yet you feel as if your insides are on fire. Almost instantaneously, you break out in cold sweat. You hide under the blanket to seek some warmth, but your hands are hot to touch. Your world spins violently as you look up to the ceiling. And then that nauseating feeling takes over you.

Feeling beat and worn-out you stagger to the bathroom, with the sickening taste of bile on your tongue. Like an erupting volcano, you feel the violent gurgle in your stomach, your muscles contract as everything in your stomach gets forced up your gullet, and into the toilet bowl. Teary-eyed, you see your lunch 2 hours ago, merrily bobbing up and down in toilet water.

Ich bin sehr krank. (which loosely translates to "I am very sick")

On a brighter note, I'll be meeting the guys later to celebrate miss aussie's birthday.

And JUST to share a playworthy musical piece, check out "sway" by the perishers.

CHINA!

So I'm back from freezing Beijing to sunny Singapore. Flight was about 6hrs onboard Garuda Indonesia, and for the first time, we had really good airline food. Garuda HAS to have the BEST food everrrrrrr. There's also no time difference between Singapore and Beijing.

Hmm, what can I say man, Beijing totally rocked! I mean where can you get a 8GB Thumbdrive for just over $10? Yupyup, but of course with any place theres always somethings that nowhere else can have better than Singapore.

I'll do a good/bad comparison, starting with..

The food
good: some dishes were spicy and nice, and they have really nice beef there.
amusing: the cutlery used were really small! What I thought was a toothpick holder was actually our teacup. the plates they use were plates that we use to put cups on. you know, those small plates..
uglyyy: Really really REALLY greasy food. Practically soaked in oil. Soup was like oil soup.

The people
good: Some are really friendly, like the aunties at the mosque. They're small in size, very slim, so that makes the clothes on sale very small too. My sister wears sizes S-M in Singapore, but she had to get an L-XL for some top she bought there.
bad: The vendors can get pretty hostile because if they don't agree on the price that you bargain for, they'll chase you out of the shop.
ugly: I don't know about everyone, but this guy we saw on the street just walked up straight to a lamppost and started urinating there. All over the lampost. GROSS. lucky we were in the bus.

Cars/Roads
good: Cars are SOOOOOOOOOOOO FREAKING CHEAP la. with S$2000 I can get a decent Volkswagen saloon.
interesting: They have bicycle lanes on the road! As in really a lane for bicycles only! People cycle basically EVERYWHERE they go, explains why they're so slim. Motorcycles are rare, to reduce pollution.
ugly: Drivers absolutely DO NOT obey any form of traffic rule. They don't give way at zebra crossings, they dont stop at red lights and accident rates in Beijing are pretty high.

Public Toilets
good: Okay no offence, but the only clean toilets I've seen were the ones in my hotel room and the one at the airport. Yup.
uglyyyy: Some toilets have absolutely NO DOORS! That's madness! No way am I going to use a toilet with NO DOORS OR with doors as high as my sister! So I just stuck to NOT drinking water, until I got back to the hotel.

Shopping!
excellent: Cheap, cheap stuff, which you of course, won't get just like that. You have to bargain for it. From RMB600, I got my Timberland down jacket for RMB100. My Mandarin has considerably improved from all the bargaining and stuff. Yeap, its good to know some Mandarin. I learnt mine from watching those Channel8 serials in primary school. heh.
bad: Because of I'm-not-so-sure-what, counterfeit money is EVERYWHERE. So you really have to be careful that the change they give you is indeed real RMB and not fake ones.

Pics are already up, just click here or the pics! at the side!

Beijing was great, I loved the weather, but nowhere feels as good as home! :)

Back in Singapore, its so humid, and reality bites back. Gotto start on module/timetable planning for next semester.

Yikes.

Complete Mayhem.

I've been out for the past few days consecutively.

If we were doing different things, that makes it relatively okay. The thing is, we SHOPPED like MAD over 3 days. Well okay today the shopping died down alot because I told babs of my 2 simple rules for the day:

1) No buying non-food items
2) Only buy stuff that orang kirim, because you-know-who kirimed to buy smth for you-know-who.

Well this is how seriously Me, Baba, Shah and Ain are in debt right now. Ain wanted to buy only ONE pair of jeans, but over 2 days, she went home with 0 pairs of jeans but 11-- yes you read right, ele-freaking-ven new TOPS.

We went bonkers at Fox Women and gawd, it was all too fun.

If only the money wasn't ours.
