Umbrellas; Help



this is a post dedicated in loving memory of my lovely friends who i used to see everyday or at least often enough, and were always there for me and were truly truly important (and still remains to be so) at a point in my life

i'm just going to say this before i change my mind and go back to my mundane life where the only constants are busyness and fatigue, with this load of denial buried along within


new friends aren't the same and it's not just because i'm passive, and such a nostalgic ol hag but cos i only see them like weekly for a few hours and after some random small talk and laughs it's back to rushing off, intent on the next task ahead and forgetting all about each other


i miss.. dinah steph belle darrenn eng puyee jiang sab yins chansylvia foongwj huiyi and ofcos wting huang

that said, i'm back to endless projects.



it just has to be this way doesn't it.

/edit 11:50p.m.

Tegan and Sara; You Wouldn't Like Me

my bf puts fugly pics of me sans eyeliner and dark eye ring concealer my daily best friends on facebook for the world to mock me !!
(obviously i put up the ones where i'm wearing specs so you can hardly see a thing)

this was WHAT HAPPENED.
(please ignore the face. i know its even more an eyesore than the two patches on my knees.)

seriously hurts to bend my knees or stand straight
so i do look quite retarded standing with slightly bent knees looking like i need to pee half the time
also not really appreciating omg-this-loser-cant-walk-properly stares and empathic looks on the train when people have nowhere else to rest their eyes except on my knees (doesn't help that this has barred me from taming my err leg hair which makes it all the more embarassing)

-

room renovation sure is exciting!! (:

(insert happy astroboy face for effect)

Olivia Ong; Sweet Memories


prev entry deleted (shall stop being whiney emoness)

4 days have gone by without doing ANY work

sat was emotionally charged unbelievably worst day of my life #3, being stalked by weirdass psycho old man traumatising me with his loud chants of "in front behind in front behind" (wtf!?) and stopping when i stop and walking when i walk and changing lanes when i change lanes to another pavement and can somebody explain the quietness of Jln Jarak at 1p.m. in the broad daylight of the endless sunny rays on a scorching saturday afternoon?!
so anyway he was at the bus stop and there was no way i was going to be stuck at the bus stop with him alone yucks the church was right behind the bus stop but so ironic the church's side gate was usually closed that afternoon - the short cut i usually take to the bus stop!! so anw i was hurrying to this cab cos the cabbie was waving me over and in my short sprint i tripped on my heels (yes uncharacteristically in heels but i promise they don't look heels-ish) and oops landed on my knees like 10cm away from the cab. the cabbie was in a grave dilemma whether to LOL or feel bad. and i was smarting from physical pain and dying from utter embarassment.. now i have 2 bloody patches for kneecaps im going to be scarred for life nobody will marry me i need to wear slacks for the rest of my life
so anw it was a traumatising lousy bad awful day but i managed to trot to SAM with pals to catch some fleas.. i got a pair of shoes (pretty sure my badly scraped bleeding knees had a major impact on purchase decision) and belt and had some secretly yummy yoghurt at raffles city. promegranate &dragon fruit flavour is too cute though it does taste just like.. berry flavour.

sun was yummy dimsum feast with family + gregosamy
and all the way till now was much needed QT with kitty
doing things like watching Manchester Utd / Chelsea (his idea)
&(my idea) cooking for dinner (salmon, chicken, egg tofu &mushrooms, sausage .. okay happily having a feast) and breakfast (eggs with tomatoes and adventurously added raisins &roasted marshmellows which we each had 12?!!? disgusted with myself but secretly happy and light i floated to the skies like a cloud..)

okay the guilt is heavily tripping me
the week shall see me busy as a bee doing my projects and revising for tests

SIJIA PLEASE CHEER UP WE Y YOU PLENTY xoxo

so swamped with work right now it's not even funny
instead of drawing up shopping lists i have a list of angst

#1. COMMUTING
damn buses that always leave right where i can see them but i can't board them
#2. WEATHER
apart from spontaneous showers from the skies you get aunties shaking their umbrellas are your feet. and before you know it theyre hooking the corners of their brollies in your hair. wtf?!
#3. NO TIME FOR ONLINE TEEVEE, and EVERYTHING ELSE

promised myself to get a life after this week.

weekend whims

okay i know my hair seriously..

i need to be a happier person !

Girl In A Coma; Their Cell

the movie critic is back with a vengeance
after a slight drought i have been brought back to life with a little oasis of 3 better-than-average shows

12Lotus - don't mock. support local films okay. this poignant plight of a torrid tragedy would have fully explored its darkness if not for its excessive getai moments..the vocals left the hairs on my arms standing half the time. also, cute as a pie mindy ong should have more stage time! dismayed when she grew up and er, big too fast too furiously!

Lars and the Real Girl - bored to tears at the beginning but teared for Real at the end (another reason to cry: Ryan Gosling fat as a dumpling)

Stranger Than Fiction - this movie will put an end to not-so-nice things said about Maggie Gyllenhaal (sp?) in Batman! she is absolutely gorgeous - take it back! she is hot okay! (plus she owns a bakery! reminiscence of Rachel Bils in Chuck yelling orders from behind her sandwich joint counter) this show is witty and narrative; so much like a book and maybe that's why i truly enjoyed it. it's now shelved next to Love Actually, Butterfly Effect, White Oleander, Big Fish, Matchstick Men and and and.. (which is a good thing to me in case you belong in an uncanny opposing camp from outer space)

random; love Alison Lohman!
gonna watch every one of her shows. i've learnt that good actors won't let you down with crappy shows cos they won't act in lame ones. but if they do, then well.. i guess they aren't worth being tops.

okay end to movie respite

also random, kate moss when she was younger (in 1990, no less)
gaiety is palpable, so unjaded
http://www.corinneday.co.uk/exhibitions.php?action=view_exhibition&id=8

/p.s. hate my timetable. shouldve had a 3day week!!

she said, "i hate these thorns."
so she cried, "one day i'll be beautiful and one day you'll love me."
she said, "one day you'll love me,"
but i, i already did.

hate life today.
-
also,
dreading tuesday very much.
hai pa :((((((((((((((

i once spoke to a girl named summer
and one fall she stood so tall
she found some confidence and some wings and she flew away


EVERYTHING IS ABOUT STARTING AGAIN!!! p/s: zomg please don't be mean this is too much for me to takeend of scary mean friends please

this is how it feels to be special
this is how it feels to be nixon
you give and you give and you give up
hey, hey, hey, hey forever and ever and ever again

facebook is a clogged up bitch tonight. so i will relish photo frenzy here instead

obsessed with yz's bun for a good hour or so (i turned into mini uh, bun groupie stalking her from behind psychotically snapping a gazillion shots of her bun in different directions and lighting (none of which do justice to the astounding bounce it carried in that little bunched up ball okay groupie moment evidently not over from that night and this is too long a parenthesis)),
till it came tumbling down into.. ah sao bun by the nape of her neck by the middle of the night

one of my fave pics both looking very bunny
okay omg pls check out c's face for the upcoming 2 shots

#o1. wendy says be happy became ah! i see god!

#o2. gimme angry! became spontaneous gimme aunty!! her elbowing caught in action. nette laughs when she is appalled and jiang is like ehh..

toilet shots are good for moments when everybody wants to be in the picture but nobody wants to ask anybody to be our photographer
or trusts my 'just put our cameras on top of the paper cup and do self timer!' suggestion

jiang and i were very left out in some serious leg crossing moment

i think this is so pushing daisies!!! love the background of secret location

(HAS GOT TO BE a secret stripes day. i mean yz and nette can be stripey soulsistaz but hello woman in background is too much for me to take there was another shot with random lady in BAW stripe leggings.
were you wearing stripes too?!?! were you?!!?!?)

teehee inside joke that we will never tire of
plus after 2 years we reveal that we have our own interpretations of that fateful day when C.I.A (caught in action) was coined

totally strange and abrupt night went from giggly 'we're in bkk now!' highness to alcohol highness at dblo which was velly no good at allz..

(i wasn't high at all at this point. just almost toppled over while sliding into the picture)

random boys monkeying around - pun intended check out monkey's face (okay don't kill me i know you're a kitty)

arena is omgosh lao lao club of the year but at least their music beats phuture hands down - even their live band was like some black band flown from u.s. omg rapper's bulgy biceps the size of my head scared me to hell with the blaring music and identical destiny's child backup singer/ dancers..surreal esp with jugs of beer (i think lynette would'v cried already if she was there okay inside joke allusion to her bkk tales)
anw hate phuture now it's boring songs that make me feel stupid cos i don't know them and filled with bengbengs looking for a grind

and btw i have to say i'm totally amazed that the chances of bumping into people at dblo is quite high this is so strange, myself having been there twice in a week as opposed to uh once in my entire life minus a week before?

and I LOST MY RING AGAIN!!!!!!
it's the THIRD black rose ring i've received as a gift and lost
somehow 3 different people gave me rose rings that were all black at different timings and each after i've lost the one before! i can't seem to keep them on my fingers
it's the curse of the black rose ring.
such a nancy drew title okay sorry for digression that was uncalled for

apart from case of black rose ring curse
my legs are badly abused. bruises and bleeding cuts :(((((
one obtained by wooden high stool and my very tipsy pal's weight on it hence stamping and dragging my poor toe along with it underneath,
another while running kitty's japanese spitz and uh falling to my knees when i got entangled with the leash as he stood behind me amused, amazed and pretty much of no help

my mom came to my room to tell me my 2days disappearing act stints worry her because now there are ghosts all around, even beside me right now. my laptop corner will never be the same again
and also to kindly point out that a part of my hair is spoilt (approx 20 strands) which i have known since sec2. which was when a stroke of sudden misfortune got it grassy for no apparent reason at all..
but i thought it was rather warming, mommy smoothing my other million (hopefully! they just keep falling its like i secretly have chemotherapy in my sleep or something!) strands of..good hair.

okay many many more ramblings and even more pictures but i figured this is seriously enough kthxbye

summer holidays have been great. this is one 1st that im hardly anticipating. august is for awful.
school is starting!!! = EW.

LOL moment seriously.



pictures from pretty long ago omgosh these pics makes me so glad i finally tamed my hair what was i thinking !?!?!


do not be deceived by the faux granite table scarcely adorned with dimsum plates.. we attacked the dishes and only rmbed to take pics at the end of it as usual (traits carried forth from bkk days)

semi-starved self till 3pm (milk and eggs and random fruits and chocs not counted) to stuff myself silly i literally couldn't stand straight (walked at a perpetual bend of like 20 degrees) and felt so nauseaus, shuffling my feet away, begging pals to walk slower, face pale till i had no choice but to release some of it in whatever means imagineable.

-

s comes before t and that's what topshop is. superb, but also sly. superbly sly topshop, that one.
cannot wait for h&m and really really really wish aa was here >:C
i want leotard tops and lovely skirts and basics and zipper dresses and and..

but yes despite the secondary s association still bought aplenty.. plus happy bras i need to give my wallet a break seriously.

last night saw a turn of events and me uh dancing away to blacksexsongs that i actually know at dblo, with like.. one person who i really really know (all too and very well), semi-high (prolly a quarter.. okay make that one eighth seriously) from uh cheap drinks and may i repeat blacksexsongs that i actually know (pls have some inferential skills - how long ago was that?!?!)

not that i didn't have fun (before somebody starts whining) i did in its own strange way it was really fun but quite looking fwd to butter..


comparable to arnott's hazelnut something something
WHY DOESN'T SG HAVE THIS!!!!!!!!
actually on hindsight, it's prolly a good thing they don't have it

-

i teach my china girl tutee english from scratch and
she now speaks with an accent and i have no idea where she caught it from?!?
i'm like 'okay spell staff' and shes like 'huh? oh you mean steeaaff?'
but she's still lovable girl who loves Gong (korean show) and hello kitty

-

sjp annoys me to no end i secretly h<3art>

shocked myself by my bravery on saturday. now i have to live with it!!

c;; piccas deleted &yes you finally understand psychotic reading on certain someoness in our h<3arts cannot be helped. dim sum dolliess tmrwww

omgosh i'm suddenly entangled in a web of tutees
i'm going to die next month!!
i can imagine myself going crazy, spending my money on a much needed retail therapy at the end of it
-

my sister bought arnotts timtams from australia..hazelnut something something is AWESOME.
maybe that explains my very upset stomach which just got tremendously upset again last night it affected my vision and split my head in two (kitty i still think it was the you tiao.)

okay stop eating so much junk wendy!!

i have weeds and satc burnt waiting to be watched! yes im mountain tortoise who hasn't watched a single satc tv episode in her life.
and btw pushing daisies and chuck are fantabulous. must-watch!!

and btw btw DO NOT watch wedding daze.
my brains were temporarily stunted by the sight of isla fisher and convinced my body to buy the tickets thinking cute-as-a-button isla would definitely make a movie work but i was very wrong and deeply apologetic to my wallet for having to put myself through that lame attempt of american pie-meets-romantic comedy. it really spells a tragedy!! i was either rolling my eyes or admiring her red curls that framed her face and tumbled down so perfectly..
but !! even her hair can't save the day (though my boyfriend thinks otherwise. his brains still remains stunted by her beauty)

DO watch 21 and lucky number slevin though!

(okay stop channelling movie critic bye!)

VERY belated 20th PEARL

(might as well, since i'm on a photo-upload-roll)
((yknw how single slices of birthday cakes are usually a tad sad and miserable..well if it's any consolation, i think this is the yummiest slice of birthday cake ever))


very happy girl looking good

i wish .. i could just eat this without having to share with freda and wendy ..

da and i started dancing .. left and right

then bobbing up and down..

omg wassup i really look like a baby here

random; ms wting huang youre sorely missed on a random night sg time 3:02a.m.

-

btw wasabi peas are rolling around in the can theyre packaged in, making so much noise and giving me random heart attacks at 3:04a.m.
(that was before i discovered the source of those odd sounds (yes it took me 1.5mins to run through the possibilities of where it could possibly come from, fingers frozen midway hovering above my keyboard, and another 0.5min to resume frantic fast furious typing in relief))

don't you know 3a.m. is like an in/auspicious time for ahem..

-

tonight we're forming our own group of friends, organising activities, dreaming up the life we'd be living had the others not discarded.

people tell me my ipod is too depressing and belongs to an emo kid
my new favourite song will shut their mouths
and curtail images of me sitting by the window sullenly or
running around the streets tear-stricken

cos i have a happy song!
a very happy song!

>> Anthem In; I'll Tell You Everything

even though it's still a big bleak world for a sick (food poisoned) small (chest) girl
with hair so long and straggly it disgusts herself
and weak knee joints that ache
after a 40min lovely umbrella-clad evening stroll to j8 ntuc for grocery shopping with fellow adventurous (visited 7 wonders of the world i.e. sahara desert, ganges river..is this even one of the 7 wonders..bangkok uneven dusty roads..now i've totally digressed from 7 wonders of the world theme..along the trial of the great world of china..and were suddenly inspired to break into a sprint cum shrieking fest, forgetting all fatigue from never-ending journey, when we encountered a frog and thoughts of the endless possibilities of millions of frogs hidden in the wilderness flooded our minds) long-time-no-see pal stephcheong who is by the way the bravest girl i know, packing her bags a few hours before heading out for yet another school camp, feverish, giddy all and this is just the longest sentence i've ever written and would totally be my GP /media writing tutors' worst nightmare.

found an organic food haunt! (charm, why so secretly!)
hope it tastes as yummy as it looks!
cant wait for next visit!
(my current crumbling stomach can't..stomach heavy meals/ tasty food/ much food at all without hurting)

-
some pics finally.. uploaded all on facebook and feeling really really lazy to do the same here plus .. not advisable given the number of shots, as you can tell by my loosely defined 'some pics'.
all in very random order.

(lazy to flip pictures too what's new)
