You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold.
All the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you.

You say you'll give me a highway with no-one on it
Treasure, just to look upon it
All the riches in the night.
You say you'll give me eyes in the moon of blindness
A river in a time of drynessA harbour in the tempest.
All the promises we make, from the cradle to the grave
When all I need is you.

You say you want your love to work out right
To last with me through the night.
You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold.
All the promises we break, from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you.

i really do want you.

**black and burnt and feeling damn -urgh-. i miss you.

2 months since i blogged.

2006-03-11T07:17:00.000-08:00

hey all. =D
after a 2 month 4 day hiatus, yur darling blogging-bangala is finally back! (barely alive though, considering that within the span of a week, i've been to 3 doctors, each scheduling me for a throat scan, chest scan and dunnoe what shit respectively. but in all fairness, i have a naturally hoarse voice and was really coughing badly then.)

remember when yur parents told yu to be careful of what yu wish for? they were right, for once. before i started work in UOB, i was craving a bout of change, excitement and a colossal challenge in my worklife. and i've got, as usual, more than i bargained for. like hello?! i wished for A bout, meaning ONE! not a gazillion-trillion super million bouts of adrenalin-squeezing experiences! not good at all for the heart. oh wells, at least my contract ends 28th of this month. haha and that will mark the longest period of commitment in my career yet! so proud of myself. wheee. but i'll never do it againn.

never expected March would bring along with it such a huge change in my life. for the first time, i feel damned lost. with all the uni admissions and whatnot. i mean, think about it. will yur life just go to waste, should yu choose not to pursue an education straight after As?!
my results came as quite a surprise to me. and yes, i did not deserve what i've got. (am i stuck in a rut now.) anyhow, it gave me an option of local studies, which at this point in time i really cannot fathom. yet an overseas education would mean tripling the costs and reaping (seemingly) the same results. the thing in question is whether im selfish enough to put my parents through funding my horribly expensive education.
moreover, it wouldn't take an archaeologist (haha) to realize that im a totally erratic, changeable commitment phobe. i'm still not sure if i can really hold on to my interests for a sustained period of time. and right now, its a huge step i'm taking that will cost a whole lot of money. i don't wanna waste myself anymore.

on a brighter, lighter, happier note, i'm gonna meet eliz and wx for NUS Open Day tmr! hopefully i might find the second best course i want, settle down in Singapore and live miserably ever after. haha ok that was redundant. what i actually wanted to say was: I LOVE ELIZ and her MUM! =) her mum's like super sweet.. helped me buy sooo much stuf frm liverpool. really made my day. hehee. so excited to see the purchases. oh, and to meet eliz again too. =)

mans. hadn't noticed i blogged so much. it's kinda therapeutic though. haha so yu guys can expect more frequent bitchings frm me in the near future! sign of bad things to come, huh? anyways, kudos to yu for ploughing thru this primarily whining entry. have a hug and kiss on me!

Your Heart Is Orange

Love equals unbridled happiness for you. You enjoy the wild ride of falling in love.
And while the ride is fun for a while, you always get off once the thrill is gone.

Your flirting style: Hyper

Your lucky first date: Anything you need your passport for!

Your dream lover: Is both daring and well grounded

What you bring to relationships: Energy

You Are Vixen

Sexy and sultry, you're the one all the other reindeer dream about.

Why You're Naughty: That fur pulling spat you got into with Dancer over Santa.

Why You're Nice: Because even when you're nice, you're still delightfully naughty!

Your World View

Although you make a brave show of being self-sufficient, beneath this you are unhappy and rather mixed up.
You do not know what love is, and you are more likely to boast about your conquests in a bar than prove them in a bedroom.
You tend to attract the wrong kind of lover.

It's hard to imagine you leading a full, happy life.
The warmth and give-and-take of love are not for you.
Your sex life is ringed with unreality, and you neither understand nor appreciate the opposite sex.

You Are Internal - Skeptic - Empowered

You feel your life is controlled internally.
If you want something, you make it happen.
You don't wait around for things to go your way.
You value your independence and don't like others to have control.

You are a total skeptic when it comes to luck.
You believe that people use luck as a crutch to avoid responsibility.
You control your own destiny. The universe has nothing to do with it.
You believe everything can be explained - and you tend to over analyze situations.

You have a good deal of power, but you also know the pecking order.
You realize that working the system does get you further.
You know who to defer to and who to control.
When it comes to the game of life, you play things flawlessly.

Your Animal Personality

Your Power Animal: Deer

Animal You Were in a Past Life: Panda

You are a fun-seeker - an adventurous, risk-taker.
While you are spontaneous, you are not very rational.

Your Hair Should Be Blue

Wild, brilliant, and out of control.
You're a risk taker with an eye to the future.

Your Personality Is

Artisan (SP)
You are both grounded and flexible. You adapt well to new situations.
You are playful and free spirited - but you are also dependable and never flaky.

You don't do well in conservative, stuffy situations.
It's probably very hard for you to keep a normal job or stay in school.

You are always up for fun and adventure. Most people are too boring for you.
You take risks and bend the rules. And if things don't work out, you chock it up to life experience.

In love, you tend to take things quickly - but you have a huge problem with commitment.

At work, you need to make your own rules. You're best suited to be an entrepreneur.

With others, you are animated and physical. You prefer doing something with friends to just hanging out.

As far as your looks go, you tend to be buff and in good shape. Your spend more time on your body than your clothes.

On weekends, you need to keep active. From cooking up a storm to running a 5K, you wear yourself out.

garrrrcia.

2006-01-04T05:37:00.000-08:00

can someone be THIS good-looking? haha. he's like the epitome of my perfect boyfriend. =D someone like the "friend" i saw on new year's eve will do too. hehe.

speaking of NYE, im never gonna step into MOS on a weekend, ever! garhhs. despite yh being so sweeet to jump queue THRICE for us, we took about 3hrs to get near the entrance lah. madness. haha. NYE was great nonetheless, and kinda rare too. considering the inhumanely strict curfew imposed upon wt!

hmms. i cant wait to crash NJ next week! haha. my job (to date) has eaten up 5days of my life, along with 500% of my available energy! bleahs. haha. but the collegues are quite funky coz the temps are almost my age! so we kinda like stone together and all that. i can't believe the Bank's paying us to listen to them lecture! take my word for it: 8hours plus of lessons daily - NO JOKE.

sorry if i've been neglecting anyone recently, i really don't mean to. gimme some time to adjust to my workload.

NTU bash on sat. $14, $16 for the sexes respectively. 2 complimentary drinks. anyone wants to go too? haha.

2005-12-22T06:23:00.000-08:00

I light a candle
In the garden of love
To blind the angels
Looking down from above

I want, I need
The fruit of your pine
It tastes so bittersweet
Cause I know it's not mine

I want to come inside

Hit the lights
And I'll come crawling to your window tonight
Come on and send the sign
I'll be your dirty little secret and you'll be mine

You got me knock knock knocking at your door
And I'll be coming back for more
We made a promise and we´ll keep it
Our Dirty Little Secret

We act like strangers
When you're holding her hand
Cause there's a danger
That we both understand

We run like thieves
Through the temple of sin
´till we fall on our knees
then you go back to hell

I want to feel alive

Hit the lights
And I'll come crawling to your window tonight
Come on and send the sign
I'll be your dirty little secret and you'll be mine

You got me knock knock knocking at your door
And I'll be coming back for more
We made a promise and we´ll keep it
Our Dirty Little Secret.

it's 3 days to Christmas! hehe and i'm doing quite a good job being a Santa Claus to myself! whee. bought the Jacob's Creek rose finally. it's yummy! and i bought new phone! Motorola V3. a lot of people probably have it, but i like it still the same. =)

2005-12-15T05:19:00.000-08:00

i'm presently officially suffering from blocker's blog. cant seem to even string two words together! embarassing. haha.. maybe that's just Premature Caveman Syndrome huh? i wouldn't know till i die from it. oh wells. prom had been the highlight of my month! shitloads of experiences and a smorgasbord of emotions in full swing. COOL. and that, just about sums it all.

haha.. seriously hadn't expected my hols to be THIS unexciting.. and to top things off.. im still jobless!!! =(

eeww. this is like, so not my normal style of blogging. arghh. i sound jaded. even a tad commercialized. what is my problem?!

ooh. my stint at Allen & Gledhill was short but quite fun. people rushing about as though they really had something to do. ha. acting important and shit. so i followed suit. wore nice stuf. spoke properly. and carried about my job in the most inefficient manner possible. what great teachers they are. haha. that's not what i want in life though. i deserve so much more action. anyone up there!? offer me a job that i'd love please...

Liverpool 3 - 0 Deportivo Saprissa, goals from Crouch, Gerrard, and CROUCH again led Liverpool to a comfortable win over the Costa Rica side, clinching the coveted final spot at about 8.15pm aprroximately, Singapore time. they are now one of the two contenders for the World's Best Football team, alongside Brazil's Sao Paolo. (which happens to be KaKa's ex-club!) would they finally emerge victorious and give fans something other than THAT NIGHT IN ISTANSBUL to gush about? stay tuned to find out, and keep your fingers crossed!

thanks sweeny for the quizzes. havent been doing much lately, except possibly planning a not-so-surprise trip to joe's shop in Indonesia (en route a fantastic korea ski trip) with hua!
by the way, sweeny seems pretty big on the idea of marrying hua actually. haha. she got all possessive the other day, when i just casually mentioned my plans for the romantic escapade with hua come 2006. oh no. actually she went over-the-top mad.. i could swear i even saw a fleeting green glint in her eyes!
haha. to that i merely responded with "hua is no more than a fling" and that i'd return her (i.e. ASK FOR REFUND) when i'm done travelling.. but that was not before physically reiterating my point first! as it happens, i was drinking sugarcane juice at that fateful moment, and because i'm so given to active gesticulation during conversations... when the word FLING came into mind, i reflexively FLUNG! and there! a sweeny with droplets of sugarcane mingled with saliva. =)
lesson of the day: it doesnt pay to be jealous, does it?

"inside the snowglobe on my fathers desk,
there was a penguin wearing a red-and-white striped scarf.
when i was little,
my father would pull me unto his lap and reach for the snowglobe.
he would turn it over,
letting all the snow collect on the top, then quickly invert it.

the two of us watched the snow fall around the penguin..

the penguin was alone in there,
so I thought and worried for him.
whenI told my father this, he said:
don't worry. he has a nice life. He's trapped inside a perfect world"

2005-10-26T18:15:00.000-07:00

arghh. bad stomachache this afternoon. i woke up at like 12pm la!
missed my math mock. (no alliteration intended) and i'm now officially stressed. so few days left, and i aint doing anything. as if the more high strung i get, the less inclined i am to do anything about it. i keep thinking of breaking free, of all the fun, amazing things i'd be doing after the As.

then i suddenly remembered what Mr Yong said long ago when i was a canoeist. people who really fail at mental preparation are actually those who visualize the end result, but not the painful process they would have to go through achieving the goal. Beginning with the End in mind is a good thing, but focus-ing solely on the End isn't.

i hate this. i know im disappointing a lot of my friends who really care about me, but i hope they believe when i say that i want to work towards being my best; that i too, am concerned about the upcoming exams. i'm so sorry people, for making you guys worry yet again.

after the As, i wouldnt be this sheltered anymore. i can't afford to live my life so irresponsibly anymore. what a scary thought. and like the pee icing on the shit cake, turns out that i want Australia, but my parents don't. why didn't they tell me this earlier?! i have no idea where i to go from here anymore. am i experiencing a mid-life crisis?! if i am, then im also highly likely to die at the ripe old age of... 38! which might not be a bad idea after all actually.. time to plan for my retirement. ok, i meant study.

frankly speaking, i'm just a hot dog.

2005-10-24T03:10:00.000-07:00

wanna give you all her heart.

and cry when you're apart.

if you know what makes a girl.
wanna love you the way i do.
oh you've gotta let me know..
so i can get over you.

i miss you. even when you're so close.

Liverpool 1-0 Blackburn Rovers
scorer: Djibril Cisse (75)
second win the whole season, and a well-fought crucial match. LFC sent a clear message that they aren't about to give up their title chase this season, bouncing back magnificently after the defeat by chelsea the last gameweek. and oh my gosh. Cisse is how sweet! he was reproted to be "overcome with joy at scoring (why shouldn't he!) and after celebrating wildly he took time out to run over and shake manager Rafael Benitez by the hand. =) they were my two favouritest men at that moment! i missed the confident way Cisse played when he first came, and now he's regaining his full strength gradually. fantastic!! i just cant get enough of him lah.. haha. oh! just remembered my wager with sarah last year at the spurs match. i swore to dye my hair red like him if he's scored then, but he didnt. maybe i'd dye it when he scores the 17th goal of the season? haha!

morientes was good too. if only he would find his form. carra got to captain the team!! yay. haha but hope stevie G recovers soon. he's lost too many playing chances to injuries, poor lad. one more thing, i'm quite pissed at the way people keep boo-ing Crouch for his goalscoring duck, hello?! he's a darn good striker la. clever positioning, intuitive play and all. try achieving his level of finesse in footwork when you're THAT tall. anyway if strikers are expected to score every single match for them to be legendary, how come Alan Shearer, the undisputed premiership goalscoring king have only 240 goals to his name with 373 appearances? (i find this impressive btw)

i like fast cars and i cannot lie. you other sisters can't deny!

of shocks and stuns.

vee and cons: -stun-
shaun (in barely controlled glee): "he grows taller."
this, i immediately refuted with a question on my own.
vee: "then what happens when you feed laxatives to shaun?"
-not waiting for a response- "he grows bigger."
cons: hehehe.. (so bimboe!)
shaun: -deep in thought- "i'll think of a comeback"
* 25minutes later...
vee: "er.. hi?"
shaun: "..... wait lah!"

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends

falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last

You Should Learn Portuguese

Muito legal! For you, learning a language is all about the lifestyle that comes with it.
And Brazilian beaches, hotties, parties, and soccer matches are just your style.

ok. this is freakishly accurate. simply fresco! haha.

Your Inner Child Is Angry

You're not an angry person.
But when you don't get your way, watch out.
Like a very manipulative kid, you will get what you want.
Even if it takes a little kicking and screaming.

oops. looks like im still the bitchy little shit, huh?

You Are Mexican Food

Spicy yet dependable.
You pull punches, but people still love you.

thanks loads to serene for this quiz! ps: "herbie is such a bitch show no wonder vee loves it" - sound familiar, dear? grrr. haha anyhow, stay tuned for the next instalment of: ivee's mad and useless quizzes. (it's a pun!)

Life is great..
Michael Owen's on a scoring streak. used to be my favourite player when he was at Liverpool, and he still is, despite his departure. because he's down to earth and overall a good and decent guy. he even sent me an autographed postcard once! =) wish him all the best with the toons. really hope he'll return to Merseyside one day, where his heart is. show your stuff, my darlingest Golden Boy!
Life is unbelievable.

Life is hard..
i'm resuming training for rock-hard abs from this day on. no more procrastination!
Life is cruel..
just when i'm getting used to a bachelorette's pad.. my family's back! haha but my mum brought with her a treasure trove of accessories, clothes, shoes and BRAS! my gosh. i was just saying that day tt triumph's newest range (floral T-backs and the cleavage-enhancing ones) was damn nice, and they're mine now!
Life is so beautiful!

have you ever?

2005-09-25T17:47:00.000-07:00

have you ever blasted your woofer system so loudly in the dead of the night, and have your neighbours show up at your doorstep in their nighties/PJs with 8 policemen, holding each a loudhailer, demanding for you to peacefully surrender your remote control?

you haven't? well, neither have i! haha. Liverpool drew Brum 2-2 last night. finally the Reds are starting to find the back of the net, but along goes our cleansheet. =( i think its all Josemi's (un)doing. maybe i'm just biased, but to me he just doesnt contribute much. sigh. by the way, they were Garcia and Cisse goals. and it's about time for the both of them! they deserve to see their names on the scoresheet after all the sweat and misses! Warnock had an own goal though, poor lad. he's been so promising this season. bad things happen to good people i guess. hope this will not get him down. if stevieG can step out of his OG nightmare, he can too. hold your head up high dudes. =) go Reds!

did i mention that the nice 7-eleven mat (meaning malay guy) at my place is really called "MAT"? haha cool right! anyways, the combination of Ben&Jerry's Cherry Garcia with corndogs is an orgasmically gastronomic delight! top it off with Ritz cheese crackers, bottled magaritas.. and ta-da! you're in heaven.

feels sick to be sick.

2005-09-24T21:25:00.000-07:00

i'm a nice girl today! went to run an errand for my dad since he's out of town.. haha! 9.30am and i was already at cityhall! bought loads of vcds from carrefour - "looney tunes all stars", "all i want for x' mas", "rugrats go wild" and "dirty dancing 2"! i think diego luna's damn cute. and they really can dance! jealous. anyways, the vcds were all selling for 5bucks!! cheap right.. so happy!

thank God my house has more tissues than it does food. ah wadn ah dew dose. speaking of which, im totally stocked up for my midnight movie marathon later!! hadn't the energy to drag my ass down to the Padang for Starlight Cinema, so i'll do it at the comfort of my own home. =) all i need now are alcopops and hazelnut chocs. yay! haha.. and i wonder why i'm always ill, never convalescent.

ooh!! i also bought Bon Jovi - Have a Nice Day cd this morning! from HMV, since this cd is somewhat price-controlled, and comes with a free and exclusive shirt! haha i now have a T-shirt that screams "TACKY!!" with a capital T, and i'm lovin it! furthermore, Bon Jovi always rock. =)

just watched the Jacky Wu show on tv, Makiyo was today's guest star!! eeps. i like her! so pweetty with a nice cute voice to match! hehe. helps that she's an E-cup too.. madness! E leh. =( really can't wait for 8th oct.. Kang Xi Lai Le is coming to ch.U! heard abt that programme a thousand times while watching 100% entertainment by Show, xiao S and da S. it sounds real good, cause the hosts are damn high and the stars usually are talking shitloads of rubbish and inventing new languages! haha! i admit to falling prey to taiwanese pop culture, and tt's a feat considering how horribly i speak and comprehend the language. oh, but what the heck!

by the way, just for statistical purposes. my hypothesis states that jokes are 250% funnier when published online. try on a few for sizes:

"roses are red.
violets are blue..
flamingoes are pink but flamangoes are green.
you agree, don't you?"

on a billboard outside the cemetery: "Do drive carefully. We can wait."

based on a 95% significance level. haha and by all means, refute away!

of rains and shines.

2005-09-23T11:05:00.000-07:00

eeps. im officially sick, compliments of nissa and sally! but for joining us today in spite of their ailments (haha), they still rock. =)

shopping was fun! ying had 120bucks worth of coupons to spend at PS. so lucky right?! she bought herself this gorgeous roxy handbag, along with tonnes of other stuff! haha and i got this amazing pair of purplish, snake-skinnish kitten pointy heels with velvet straps! wanted the necklace with a fairy from future state, but it was gone when i went back. =(
then came dinner. after much discussion, we ended up eating at Fish&Co, again! but a newly revamped one i must say. damn nice tv with espn lah. although (and i can't say this enough) i hate white fish and thus din't eat much, the passionade cocktail was good. hehe!

i love the feeling of staying alone. it's 2.14am in the morning yet no one's here to nag at me! wheehee.

anyways, got back chem paper3 yesterday. what a breakthrough! i am in awe of my same old brand new level of asininity. thank God i had dimsum beforehand to cushion the impact. haha! mango pudding and harkaw with crysanthemum chinese tea rocks! after breakfast, we read at toa payoh library - the children's section! hehe paddington, ramona and the temporary fairy alice. =D i think kids sure have it easy. managed to reach school before the thunderstorm-induced traffic jam started. the sheltered walkway was FLOODED. whoosh! i love it. all the wind and water. in fact, i was so in love i made up a song on the spot! and here's how it goes:

"as we walk to the left, as we walk to the right.
as we walk. as we walk, as we walk all night.
with all the H2O, and the rain on my toes
as we walk, all my friends will sing Rock 'n' Roll!"

not bad, eh? haha. gonna sleep now. not enuff kleenex+. snifflesnuffle.

come undone.

2005-09-21T19:29:00.000-07:00

2005-09-20T18:49:00.000-07:00

to those still reeling from the aftermath of prelims, laugh it off!

at a bowling alley: "Please be quiet. We need to hear a pin drop."

outside a restaurant: "Why stand out here and be hungry? Come on in to get fed up."

concierge in a hotel: "We shoot every third salesman. and the second just left."

from the Public Utilities Board: "We will be de-LIGHTED if you can pay the outstanding bill immediately. If not, you would be."

backdoor of a homosexual bar: "Allow us to push your stool in. We are happy to serve you."

haha. my family (excluding me) would all be in Bangkok by friday. gonna have the whole house to myself. if i decide to go home, that is! wheehee, but i'm happy nonetheless. free to indulge myself silly! =D and did i mention that i've won free double passes to Nokia Starlight Cinema?! got to print the invite out though..

i must be crazyyy

2005-09-19T19:43:00.000-07:00

what is wrong with me today!? went to buy a happy meal at macdonald's.. then realized my wallet had no money! so i ran all the way to an atm, then returned sheepishly to the auntie at the counter with everyone staring wide-eyed at my plight, i swear. wth! as though buying a stupid playdoh toy wasn't embarrassing enough. then i had to go buy some croissants (pronounced as kwa-czon) from delifrance, which i paid for but totally forgot to take! the nice delilady had to run after me in the rain. and when she caught up with me... i was already attempting to get through the train station gate by tapping my house keys!! hello. i'm like already in woodlands lah.. take what shit train! either i'm going mad, or bio-paper was too taxing. maybe a bit of both. haha!

oh wells. at least now i've got nice hamburglar toy to start off my collection! =) ooh!! and i went down to the clubhouse yesterday to watch the Reds vs Devils match. was really nice going back after such a long while.. havent been in there since the night LFC became champions of Europe! haha the guys were crazy as usual.. but serene was damn amused by them. maybe also cause they kept poking fun at me! bleahh. they even told serene that i haave to spill at least a cup of coke per match to be happy.. which is sooo not true. argh! haha. anyways. CY is officially the new president of the fanclub.. congrats! but he's real busy right now.. no time to play with me anymore. =( oh ok. just received his msg asking me about bio today, he's still a nice guy afterall! haha! and murni's new hairstyle is waay cool. i wanna chop off my hair too. =D

about the match, it's LFC 3-1 Man Utd! =) ok. i'm kidding. haha it was a goalless draw, but nonetheless a fun and good match! Reina made a few good saves, but most United shots were slightly off last night. garfield kept chanting "Oh shit (O'shea)" and "garang guni (Rooney)"..so funny! haha. but i kinda like O'shea. and think it's real cute, the way he dribbled the ball single-footedly out of the pitch, with no pressure whatsoever! Crouch was good yesterday despite his shots lacking slightly in power. but im not worried. like Rafa said: the goals will come, and i believe him! besides, their positioning was quite good last night and JAR could really create chances in tight situations. i love JAR!! put him back on the starting line-up please!! all in all, nothing beats the feeling of watching soccer at the fanclub with the lads and screaming our heads off. haha especially with herman, manfred and the rest forming a cheering wall at the back of the area! try it sometime.

maldini, paolo

2005-09-18T16:29:00.000-07:00

PAOLO MALDINI -a tribute.
Italy's most capped player, with 126 appearances for his country before pulling off the blue jersey in 2002, Paolo Maldini will reach another milestone of his career this Sunday, when he leads him team out against Sampdoria. the ACMilan captain will look to surpass Dino Zoff's record of 570 Serie A appearances, and this number is even more astonishing considering he's been with his hometown club all the while! A magnificent left back-cum-central defender, who broke a host of records in his glittering career, Maldini could well go down as Italy's greatest footballer ever.

Paolo has also been seriously contemplating retirement from the footballing scene, insisting that it is not [his] "intention to just carry on playing for the sake of it". oh man. i'll be so sad when that happens! will respect his decision and wish him nothing but the best, though i'll miss his nifty footwork, incisive passes and composure on the pitch. he's the epitome of Leadership, Passion and Loyalty, in one charming, handsome package. =)

hails Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti, "Maldini's the best. he has been and continues to be a true example of professionalism and reliability." here's hoping ACMilan would retire Jersey No. 3 following Maldini's departure.

FORZA PAOLO!

did you know...

2005-09-17T06:23:00.000-07:00

did you know?

#1: that i love the rain! =) its currently 6am in the morning, was awoken by specks of raindrops seeking shelter from the thunderstorm outside my bedroom. wheehehe. thank God i didnt close my window last night.. wouldn't want to get the cute raindrops wet! haha. i love it when it rains because it is the only time i feel rrreally cold.

#2: that prelims suck! =( i have bio paper 1/2 and statistical math left. gotta mug hard today with serene! since my previous papers were damn horrible. i hate having prelims because i feel guilty if i dunt study, so i cant slack happily either.

#3: that Pizza Hut hired Rollie Pollie Ollie! =X haha. okay maybe i was just too hungry then. went Pizza Hut with hua ser and char on friday, and the waitress sucked! so i just kept trying to make things difficult for her, and the rest of them just kept laughing at me! (also cause they think i've weird pizza eating habits. like hello? have yu guys seen yurselves?! haha) i called her R.P.O because she is fat, keeps forgetting everything and her attitude was lousy!

#4: that IKEA rocks!! =D decided to go Queensway earlier after Pizza Hut to pick up stuff for my friend before meeting xinhe for dinner! decided it was too early after all, as i had about 3hrs to burn after buying the birthday present! haha so i went to ikea to look at furniture, and loads of things caught my eye!! will be posting my shopping list up another day, since i havent got round to buying them yet. i love shopping at ikea because no one bothers you there, the stuff are cheap and nice, and they serve good meatballs and roast beef!

#5: that Mac's got new happy meal toy! =] it's a collaboration with playdoh. damn cute! i like to eat at Macdonald's because they got grimace with golden plasticine fries, birdie with curly wurly plasticine hair, etc.

#6: that you can be sued for what you blog! =/ isn't it like common sense to not post potentially offensive/abusive material online, especially those of a racist or discrimatory nature? please, nobody wants to see public displays of narrow-mindedness and deficiencies in various underdeveloped cerebral cortexes. and not as though they can't track those misdemeanists down. i think i should blog with a nom de plumes because the victims at receiving end of my bitching might decide to sue me, too.

#7: that i'm watching the Reds vs Mancs match with serene! =P at the UE Square clubhouse, she hasnt been there yet. yay! the match is cool because we have bio paper the next morning yet we are slipping out to watch it.

#8: that 8 is Gerrard's squad number in Liverpool! =) i stop at the 8th point because i'll be L8 if i dunt log off now.

till next time!

new euro strip!

2005-09-16T20:15:00.001-07:00

Real Betis vs LiverpoolFC also saw the Champions of Europe parading their new winner's CLstrip for the first time, and here's a snapshot of this ultra cool jersey!!

gorgeous, ain't it? available at LFCOnline from 10th Nov.

In a post-match interview, when thrown the question regarding his "thumb-sucking" antics during goal celebrations, the Spanish hitman Luis Garcia graciously replied: "I have a son who was born last year and I like to celebrate like I do because it is for him. I have also seen the supporters copy me and join in when I score and I like it very much." awww man. such a sweet comment right! my heart just melted right there. my simple, sweet, silly, soft yet superb spanish striker! =)

"When you are a Liverpool fan you stay forever. You don't change to Everton if Everton become the better team. You stay as a Red. That's the true Liverpool spirit." -Brucie Grobbelaar. and i can't agree more! YNWA *

match stats. haha

2005-09-14T14:35:00.000-07:00

Liverpool 2-1 Real Betis, UEFA CL'05/06 group stages.
scorers: Florent-Sinama Pongolle (2), Javier Luis Garcia (14)
what a great game! Rafael Benitez enjoyed a triumphant return to Spain as a Champions League winner as Liverpool kicked off the group stages with a stunning performance to sidestep the notable threat of Real Betis. despite having benched our ever-inspirational captain Stevie G and netting a mere goal in three premiership matches, the Reds still delivered with 2 early goals from FLO and Garcia, possibly surprising both the Home and Away crowd.

with this match, LFC not only reiterated the fact that the Champions of 04/05 would give anything to defend their title, but also gave fans the right to believe they have a better team this season in terms of depth and strength. and indeed, WE DO! =) saw gems of a player in new signings like Momo (as expected) and CROUCH, as well as the used-to-be injury plagued FLO. Momo showed us yet again, the qualities enabling him to stake his claim on a spot in the starting eleven. Crouch played his height advantage, threatening the defenders and exposing the frailties at the back of the Betis side. and he's not only good in the air but on the floor too, seen from his neat footwork.. i like him! and FLO, he's our God-sent right-winger! coming back strong after recovery, he showed the world how happy he was playing right (pun intended) with a goal 2 minutes into the game, hardly giving the spanish side time to warm their feet!

second half was all about LFC's defensive bravery and sheer will, as Betis staged an almost dramatic comeback, tilting the momentum away from them. even though the ball managed to find the net once, it was the talented and consistent Reina, with the back four, that shined through the second half, denying Betis of even a single point.

im so so so excited! the Liverpool teamsheet is somewhat stabilizing, with all the hints of vintage Anfield, of giants that reigned in the glory days, of more silverware to come. Go Reds, and bring on the Mancs this sunday!

poooffies.

2005-09-13T20:37:00.000-07:00

ps: to all who's tagged my board recently, thank you sweeties for the encouragement! =D

haha already planned to eat dimsum the morning before last paper-bio MCQ! on friday we might have a girl's night out. play. dress up. and dine at somewhere posh.. before plunging back into the world of boring mugs, bored mugging and muggers ga-bore! ha. whatever. nothing sounds remotely funny to me anymore. doesn't help that i havent even smelt nuggets in a while too. sigh.

at least there is always a reason to smile and be happy! =) Liverpool's playing Real Betis in Spain.. about 7 hours from now! and im staying up to watch it! =D hope Reds will play well tonight. rooting for Crouch and Cisse to score. ooh. plus the new season of Survivor's in the Mayan Civilization. i like!! premieres friday, 1am. maybe i'll watch that too. and screw chem. haha!

i'm going to a place nearby. gotta go.

"And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time..

especially yesterday. a semi-fruitful study trip with bernardette! got invited out of the fucking library, but we persevered and managed to do chem rev at macs nearby! no nuggets this time, though it's still 31boxes and counting. after grey matter saturation point, we shopped around for more clothes to torment my over-stuffed closet, and witnessed every single "Epicurean" from across the globe congregate at Suntec for the annual food fair! furthermore, the crowd never disperses. it's as though they have no life whatsoever! bleaas. opted to visit after our movie instead, which proved to be real smart of us. most foods were going at half price by then! wheehehe. and Fruit Tree fresh Mango nata de coco juice rocks! =)

And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky..

Save for one.. JOE COLE! his second-half strike saved England from further embarrassment and stick. granted, England's World Cup campaign has had a bad run, but I believe they can do well in Germany 2006! and despite what they say about Eriksson, i still stand by him. just like how he stood by Michael Owen through his Madrid Nightmare, when no one else would have. besides, who can be as bad as Graeme Souness?! haha. maybe it's high time to change a captain.

I can't take my eyes off, of you..

Herbie's so fast and flashy, i just love the racing scenes! funny, yet it's aww-so-sweet. definitely entertaining! In theatres now.

I can't take my eyes off of you.

I can't take my eyes off you..
Toys r'us at Suntec! it's new! haha. i was blown away by the display of nice shimmery sparkly girly pluffies and polished shiny cranky computerized robots. but only one held my gaze: the Smoochie Pup. A real-life, kissing doggy stuffed toy. i want one! grins.

I can't take my eyes off you.

I can't take my eyes off you..

Antonio Barragan.
the next sexiest dude de Espana at Anfield.
he's SO DAMN HOT, but too damn young for me. =(

I can't take my eyes..

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to leave it all behind?

if I didn't, i shall say it right now. I anathemize the A-levels. ARGH! i wanna be that lazy dreaming girl once more, with her fellow lame cliquekers fresh out of O levels, fantasizing about absconding to the shores of Hawaii, terrorizing everyone in sight. =D

Your Ideal Relationship is Polyamory

You want to have your cake... and everyone else's.
Which isn't a bad thing, if everyone else gets to eat too!
You're too much of a free spirit to be tied down by a traditional relationship.
You think relationships should be open and free, with few restrictions.

haha. fair enough.. i like the pic! and the description's kinda funny. =P

nothing much to blog about today. haha. except that it took 2 hours after being roused by smses at 8am, for me to regain full use of my eyes. so tired! but passion pursuit day was quite nice.. ms tan was sharing her mission trip experience! and she taught us to make balloon sculptures!(is that what people call them?) so fun! i got natural aptitude for showmanship lah! grins. *made a dead parrot called parotdy, a tumoured poodle and a giraffe with a cheeky ass!! =D

grandma's acclimatized to my place now. happy! =) she deserves so much better than all that shit. and my house is starting to resemble a home finally, all thanks to this wonderful woman! for the first time in years, my fridge has food/fruits, my room's magically impeccable and my wardrobe.. er. let us not venture too far..haha! but my point is, my grandma's amazing and i love her. =)

"and it's time to face the truth,

dunnoe what's wrong with my eyes though. they itch so.

back here, baby.

2005-09-02T03:47:00.000-07:00

on and off. and on and off, and on and off again. when will it be OFF for good?

despite imposed curfews by schweeties like ying and hua, im still insistent on retreating to my castle waay beyond 12am every single time, emerging panda-eyed and foul-tempered the contiguous day. i suck! =( and today was no different from the rest. just came home from a nice dinner with debbee and a great antecedent shopping trip with bernardettie. =D i bought a v v nice yogi bear shirt! was reminded of John Williams suddenly. he's like a kindly grandaddy to me and he has a tattoo of yogi bear on his forearm (*otherwise known as his antibrachium)!! sincerely hoping Liverpoolfc Ladies Team will be successful under his superb manegerial rule. =) miss the Football Camp last year, when John, Liam, Matty and Eddie were invited to coach the kids. everything was so relaxed and fun then. like nothing else matters save for hanging out and helping to coach. now they're back in the UK. sigh. but i don't want them to merely be a transient feature in my life. I MISS YOU PEOPLE.

anyway i digress. haha. dinner with debbers today proved to be an enlightening affair. and what a secret for her to be hiding lah.. PIG! well, i'm happy for her coz she's happy now. yet i'm sad coz she's still plagued by what will happen in the near future. but i'll just say. heck and go with it girl! enjoy, however long it may last. =) had dinner at LJS, after which we went to TCC-clarke quay, her workplace! the Bailey's Freeze is utterly amazing, complete with goosebumps. =D i'm suprised that in spite of deb's constant declarations of her heart's impending and ineluctable failure to beat (due to my wise cracks), her palpitatory device failed to deliver. ha ha ha. so i still ended up torturing her with tonnes of crap. i like!
assisted bee in writing a farewell note to her colleague. starting with "you're the toilet roll in my cubicle", which i personally think is a stroke of genius! and her "boss" jeremy's damn cool. besides the fact that he has a bling-bling, he actually is able to follow-up my contribution with: "you're the banana of my split!". there, such ingenuity i appreciate. grins.

today was reminiscent of the times in st nicks. laughing incessantly and talking my way out of everything. it all came back to me. how i used to write piles of rubbish and pass them off as classy homework, masking ignorance with persuasive linkages. how i managed to quote false statistics that sound more believable than facts. how i aspired to become a politician fighting for the rights of cheeseburgers. haha and now i realize, how things change. yet friends remain the same. they always accept me for who i am. and i love them for it. =)

convinced deb that despite my changing of life-path and relative pursuits, i could always become an Archaeo-Politician. although i have no idea what that word means!
**NB: pardon my uncharacteristically looong entry, and the sesquipedalia. aftermath of gp prelims (i brought my useless pocket dictionary to school that day! now it's adorned with a sweet but lame sprig of weeds, a-la-joe), which happened to suck real bad. i'm screwed, and let that suffice thee. speak no more to me about this matter and i shall not rant. haha!

passion pursuit day in 4hours. pop goes any hope of sleep for the time being. yawns.*

happy teacher's day.

2005-09-01T23:53:00.000-07:00

happy teacher's day, to all the teachers. =) esp ms stacy tan, ms ling, mrs khoo and mrs kay wong. they are all special to me in their own way and im thankful for them.

teacher's day prep was an absolute mess man. poorly organised, and im guilty as charged. spent the night before seeking teppanyaki haven for dinner with xinhe, before embarking on a strenuous quest for the perfect teacher's day gift and green seedless grapes. haha and im suddenly agnized of my uncanny ability to embarass myself and pour brown inconceivable hydrocolloid substances unto my clothing whenever i'm out, whereever i go. bleahhs.

the celebrations went well though. to my darling twin: ALa Mu Le! jenwei's damn hot. skit by counsellors was smart. Whipped Cream sang Rembrandts-I'll be there, and they sounded great! and the class party was fabulous! ms tan can sing really well, notwithstanding her narrow songlist! haha! im bitching again. hmm.. and ade's magic perf was good. hehe. went town with xx, lm, ser and nis after that to eat and window-shop!! orchard and its expansive array of haute couture never ceases to amaze me. sigh. or im just a shopaholic in nature? haha. shu emura's new Masquerade series is flashy, bold and strikingly fascinating. i love it! see it for yourselves at all good make-up counters. =)

met up with xinhe, and his friend whose name i cant remember, for a while before dinner. didnt know i still looked that fit. his friend actually asked if i was in Track&Field! haha. so proud of myself. =D anyways shaun's back from Brunei!! hahaha. met him seweeny and michie for dinner at N.Y.D.C. which he, in all ungentlemanliness, declined to treat. but tt's okay since we kinda missed him anyway. =)

dinner was madness as always. mich laughs at every single thing, i swear! and the phrase of the day is: "Remember: You've asked for it". which actually holds true for most of the day's events.esp when shaun coerced me into watching a thriller. Red Eye. like ohmyGosh.
anyway, just because i lurve to ruin movies for people, have a spoiler on me! =D *excursus: Rachel Mcadams is the babe in Wedding Crashers.* the whole show was about this secret unelaborated operation to kill a senate member,which is expectedly: foiled eventually. gory scenes include Mcadams launching a pen into the psycho's throat on the plane. like whoohoo. AMAZING. i nearly fainted. haha so Ms. throat perforateur escaped to her own house, with Mr throat perforatee hot on her heels. i screamed my ass of during the scene at her house. and he died in the end.

-the End-

fucking fucked fucker.

2005-08-28T10:37:00.000-07:00

from this moment on, i'm detaching myself from any piteous semblance of family i ever had. fuck. why do men always think they can solve everything by hitting a fucking woman. how would attacking someone weaker than you help in any way, except reaffirm the fact that you are a fucking loser? can you then still call yourself a man?

unhappily married for more than half your life. why? because of your fucking parents who believe in some treacherous T word called Tradition. match-made and married off because everyone else is. family is the basis of life?! hah! its merely an economic ploy formulated to make everyone bound to a loserified country, so their resources do not channel out of the country as fast as its channeled in. a method for selfish leaders to safeguard their own property, so they have someone to look for when losses are incurred. "oh, so Mr Aimafarker embezzled funds and left the country? good! he has a wife and two kids right? they can come and work his debt off. yay no loss to us!"

i resist tradition. i resist structure. i hate this place. how can people be idealistic enough to think that true love lasts forever, and that love can be built up over the years? there is no such thing called LOVE. it's just a commercialized packaged form of procreational aphrodisiac. everyone deserves happiness, you know? speak up for yourself please. i detest weak people not because im mean, but because i've grown tired of feeling sorry for them.

think for yourselves. step out of the vicious cycle. domestic violence, bad upbringing and hatred can be overcome. forgive and forget. venture out of your comfort zone. your future children need not suffer the same fate as you. kids are innocent. they shouldnt be made to feel unwanted or neglected, just because they are from a single parent family or because they are a product of a shot-gun mariage. they shouldnt be treated the same way you've been treated by your parents, just for the sake of vengance or even worse, tradition. they should be allowed to run free, to enjoy the happy days they deserve, to think for themselves. if you cant even give them that, don't even think of succumbing to the social misconceptions of married couples. Children are not prerequisites for a perfect family, they are gifts bestowed upon two responsible, mature adults capable of affection.

Life's not unfair, only for weak people. the Good Life is free-for-all, and out for anyone worthy to grab. i want my new life. take control over yours too before it's too late.

Super Cup Winners 2005. =)

2005-08-27T19:51:00.000-07:00

Liverpool 3-1 CSKA Moscow (extra time)
Scorers: Djibril Cisse (82, 103), Javier Luis Garcia (119)
haha! a super cup victory, sealed by a super sub! Hail Cisse, Hail King Carra! i am so so so happy for Carragher.. finally getting the recognition he deserves. A true red scouser lifting the cup home to the Kop. Another prestige addition to the Anfield Trophy Cabinet. Another sign of things to come. Steve Finnan got to try being a right-winger too! =)

met up with cons today at woodlands library. saw huimin! haha. but i dint do a thing.. except getting into a discussion of political strength vs force vs stability. and wth! NUS political science module has the boring-est readings i've ever seen. so i picked up a book on Archaeology to start off my prep for uni life, although i think i should need to do math more. sigh. let's just hope tmr will be more productive with sweeeny and the rest. haha!

the unworn emblems of memory
that lie beneath the truth of what we write,
rough and untutored.

piece each piecemeal part together.

hey baby

2005-08-25T23:39:00.000-07:00

today i heard the longest string of coherent hokkien expletives ever uttered by paul. and boy, was i amazed! didnt even think he knew those words existed. haha!

anyway, it's been 3 straight days of ponning school for my darling sally, so we (nissa char and i) decided to spring a surprise attack on her! haha reached her house at around 5 plus, after eating with hua and ying at KAP. nuggets again..it's 25boxes now!! hahaha.

spent our time eating myojo mee, talking shit. then we proceeded to her bedroom to take a rest and get into "serious conversation" mode. haha! it culminated with sally trying to bite and entangle me while attacking nissa though, and char being our poor headrest! yipes. sounds so orgy-fied huh. ooh er.. we measured our vital stats too. and nissa's officially in awe of us. hahaha. kidding lah. but i can go compete for the perfect bra-bie (misspelled intentionally) figure already. ha ha.

then her parents came home. they're so nice! even though we probably disturbed the hell out of them. haha. sorry. but anyway, im not gonna touch chicken for at least a month. sal's mum was practically choking us with chicken rice! haha. now i know why sal gets sick.. cannot eat so much!! lalala. did math afterward, and was really quite productive! hope we managed to give sal abit more motivation. so sally baby. if yure reading this now: "jiayou alrights! we love yu."

haha. just reached home. the journey was madness. walked with nissa to amk station. super scary lah!! considering its seventh month and we are both cowards, i cant believe she chose to tell a ghost story along the way!! talk about impeccable timing. feel like shitting my ass off now, from fear and the monster dinner. haha!
ps: i do not believe violet can chew the same gum for so long. my doublemint gum of 5 hours just disintegrated in my mouth!! =(

tired.

2005-08-24T22:39:00.000-07:00

mrs khoo is dumb. and so is paul. haha! biology was madness. mr paul.C came out with this brilliant idea of pretending he'd lost his voice! and turns out, i had to clear up the mess for him?! like hello, khoo isn't a 3 year old. ended up being labelled as "spokeswoman" and "ivy paul chang" lah! eeks. i shall mind my own business next time, paul can sms khoo about his estranged voice for all i care. hahaa

had a VP talk straight after. me n char were discussing teacher's day. and our grand conclusion is as follows:
"cookies we can bake,
flowers we can make,
songs we can sing,
we are the KINGs!!"
..and the point is that we shouldnt waste $5/teacher for some walking radio thing. SINCERITY MATTERS! haha. we rock. :)

after that i ponned sch! yayy. went to B.Bomber's again and it was a DISASTER. the bloody beef burger (pun intended) was nice but so messy to eat! it literally bleeds with every bite.. ouch! being so damned full, me and paul started talking rubbish and going on high! all the while devising a route for high-tailing it out of B.Bomber's without paying (stealing menus, pepper shakers & serviette-dispensers along the way)

and he's how gullible. of all things, he actually believed that i read off this slogan from a gay website: "there's no need to be GAY, it's a whole new world out there!" haha. neways watch Wedding Crashers alright!! it's damn super ultra funny. nudity, gays, not-so-hot sex, bondages, etc - yu name it, they have it. haha and owen wilson's quite hot.

quite a fruitful shopping trip though. i bought my dream puma jacket! "wingdings trackie in paradise pink"..i like! =) and chang's got himself a pair of cushy running shoes! ooh. plus a Queen concert dvd! haha he's weird lah. =D by the time we were on the train home, we were going mad again. so im really tired out.

yup but the fun's over. i've gotta get down to studying soon. but right now, it's getting my well-deserved sleep. *snaps fingers* to dreamland i go!

musings of the day.

2005-08-23T22:17:00.000-07:00

i am officially pissed off with JY. he better watch his back. im serious.

ooh. met a faux pregnant lady who slipped and fell in front of me (i dint trip her!) got a shock of my life can. i rushed foward to help her regain her footing. and out of sheer kindness, i saed "auntie, take care of yurself kay. pregnant ladies shldnt walk out in the rain :)" but WTH. she just shot me a dirty look and replied "eh i noe your figure v good, but i'm not pregnant and i'm only 23!!" arghh!! am i blind or what?! people that fat shldnt be allowed on the streets lah! haha. ok. im just bitching. but seriously?! and i actually thought it was really nice of me... shucks.

"sometimes in the mornings i wake up devastated that you're gone.
it drives me kinda crazy and i tell myself
it's been a little long to still be expecting you to call me up on the phone
i don't like holding on but i can't let go

sometimes a photograph of you will take my breath away
i don't think that time's a healer, no matter what folks say
how can years fly by so fast, yet breaks in a heart mend so slow?
i don't like holding on but i can't let go

sometimes i'm in a room full of people when Old Lonely sits by me
and it makes me sad to realize that unlike you, he wont ever leave.
i wish i had some kind of pill to take this feeling from my bones
i don't like holding on but i can't let go."

spent my day "grieving". i know i shldnt have, but i did. and im sorry guys. thank God for my classmates really, they always manage to make my day that much perkier! love yu people. =D

Revelation of the century: math is mad. it drives ME crazy. it drives YOU crazy. it drives MS LING crazy. math is just insane!! and everyone goes on HIGH after math remedials. hahaha. *trigo rocks, bricks and triangles!*

LFC vs Sunderland

2005-08-21T02:08:00.000-07:00

Liverpool 1-0 Sunderland
Scorer: Xabi Alonso (24), and a spectaCURLar free-kick at that.
Line-up: Similar to Boro match. except that Cisse started instead of Garcia. Seems like Rafa's trying to quell rumours about releasing Cisse. i personally want Cisse to stay for years to come. i like his pace, his footwork, and his hair! haha.
Substitutions: Garcia for Gerrard, 55. JAR for Zenden,63. Baros for Cisse,75.
Un-used: Josemi and S.Carson.
another class performance by Sissoko. argh. im starting to LOVE him. talk about promising debutantes.. we have the best here at Liverpool! =D he works, he tackles, he gets into the box. opportunistic, yet he knows his place and covers the back efficiently. his partnership with Alonso sparkles.
though i sorely miss JAR's inclusion in the left of defence, i have to admit Warnock's on his way to establishing himself in the weekly line-up. seriously, the defensive quartet looks good right now. as though Warnock's been there all through 2004/05. I want Bolo Zenden out. JAR is versatile enough to replace him! BTW, stevie G's out of the Sofia 2nd Leg clash (in 3 days!), due to a fresh injury he picked up tonight.

so far, one away and one home league match. and i like the sight of it! it's a sign of great things to come if Liverpool would keep up. and soon enough, Benitez Rafael would join the ranks of Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley! just watch and see.

had a great lunch today at Billy Bomber's with debs n jesc. =D i finally overcame my fear of B.Bomber's, after a traumatic incident with their Monster Meatloaf a year back. haha. now i got 10dollar voucher! who wants to eat with me?!

"Me against the Macnuggets" PROJECT: haha i noe the name sounds tacky. but to date, it's 19boxes and counting. in this test of speed, endurance and constant concentration, i seek to find the answer to the ever-perplexing question: "WILL I DIE A FAT ASS BEFORE THE PROMO ENDS, OR WILL I RISE ABOVE ALL to BECOME.. THE QUEEN of NUGGETS?!" stay tuned to find out, and watch me OUTEAT, OUTPAY and OUTLUST. haha gosh. the perils of globalization and lack of sleep. zzz.

i'm missing you.

2005-08-20T00:49:00.000-07:00

sun is shining, the rain comes in
and i don't know what to do
don't know where i'm going or where i've been
cos my mind, its hooked on you.

dunnoe why i'm suddenly thinking of you again, after so long. maybe i'm just feeling nostalgic. yet what good can missing you do? when things will never be the same as before. i hate this.

words escape me, and tears come down
and day slowly turns to night.
and i think of all we could have been,
but i gave up the fight.

maybe im just mad. im starting to miss everybody. starting to wish i had 100 hrs per day, that i had more time for everyone. i'm a bad friend sometimes.

and you don't understand
oh, you make me all i am.
but i'm starting to see,
just how hard it can be, on my own.
and i'm sorry baby won't you come home?

i'm looking foward to a new life, actually. where i can meet new people, learn the new things i want, learn to really love someone. maybe im just bad at this relationship thing.

you said that we'd been defeated
all right. i am so addicted
your love, is all i need to get by.
told me that you and i would always be true
but you lied.

whenever you're reading this, whoever you are.. i love you! i do. =D

and you're not in love, and i don't know why.

i'm back to blogging!

2005-08-19T19:58:00.000-07:00

i just ate my 17th box of macdonald's nuggets since the saucy promo started. yummy. by the way, me and hua are officially aunties. we bought socks today, and went to NTUC. yayy!

spent my afternoon in the I&E Hub after gp. damn fun! i was co-ercing nissa into playing games with me, and finally the loser agreed. we chose this magnetic tic-tac-toe game.. Repel! was playing the 2nd round halfway when i felt a thud on both my shoulders. haha i then understood how its physically possible for people to die of pure shock lah. like, hello. this the second time today joe's sneaked up on me?!
ended up ignoring nissa n playing with him instead! won one lost one. but clever me had to double-up the bet amount. BAHS! i owed him 2 drinks in the end. therefore, on grounds of the fact that im a sore loser, i hereby proclaim im never gonna touch that repulsive Repel again. haha!

ooh!! sal-qaeda's getting super influenced by me n hua.. but hearing the word fuck from her mouth sounded super freaky! maybe i should stop swearing. haha. especially also, since ying came out with this theory that saying nice positive things to her drinking water would make the molecules look sweeter and taste better. wth. cheat the water droplets' feelings lah.. pacify them with honey-coated words then drink them all up! so sad! but anyhow, that darling weirdo still forbids me to go near her water bottle. bleah. BIG DEAL. henceforth, i swear to swear at every other water-containing contraption that crosses my path, be it directly or indirectly. try stopping me now. ha!

and i just haave to bitch about yesterday!! 2nd time this month i overslept on the bus! TMD. do i snore, curse, drool, or attempt to kill people on the bus? if not, why do people insist on not waking me up?! this time i ended up all the way at Queensway! fucking shit. wasted 45cents taking another bus back lah!! my 45cents! =( anyway, i've decided to take a proactive approach, lest i wake up one day and find myself on ulu-ulu land. therefore, i'll be hanging a NEON sandwich-placard on me saying: "PLEASE WAKEs ME UP WHEN I REACHes NJ!", w.e.f the next time i board a bus! hahaha and it will be printed in four main languages.. i advocate racial harmony! =D
really, i do.

8days.

2005-08-16T22:23:00.000-07:00

been a week since i've set up this blog, and i'm feeling really proud of myself already. haha. like a new lease in life! for the first time ever, i'm in control. and it's liberating. i can bitch about whoever i wish, whenever and however i like! watch out, world. haha! =D

it was initially a bright sunny day, until i saw daddy aziz walking behind me! that cheeky shit started telling me how he put me down for prom queen, and i retaliated by saying i voted him for the exact same title! so now, in his own words, im his biggest rival. haha..but we all noe nissa's gonna win. i mean, she told me that herself? grins. anyways im damn stressed about the prom seating, can 04s26-table2 confirm asap?! haha. but no rush, really.

first period: math test. wasn't prepared, but that dint stop me from feeling pissed off afterward. just at myself. so im sorry if i scared anyone, esp. char and ser! (they had the misfortune of sitting next to me in lect)
the day got better, then came gp. which i ponned with s26's long-lost "legend", paul chang. haha. he can be such an idiot at times.. but he's my no-breast friend anyway! tried to run away from a few monsters, yet the biggest one caught up with me afterall. MR THONG!! he was surprising nice though. -shivers-

khoo's lesson was fine, until she proposed a four period biology monday. so i'm like, "hello? i take 3 subs!" haha being Mrs Clueless Khoo-lass, she even dared to enquire about the connection. thus, i simply said my point was that.. i don't just take bio leh!

after that we had one hour plus to burn before the 2nd instalment of killer math test. may i just remind joe that it's the 7th lunar month now?! and therefore the sight of fingers drumming on the side of a classroom door, no matter how cute, still scares me?! haha. went with hua ying n nissa to I&E Hub a while before math started to leech aircon. =P succeeded in scaring ms ling through the glass, by a series of synchronized waving!!

haha. saw neoneo at the canteen!! =D and he just misses me. keep asking me to go gp. anyways Saboh Queen Extrodinaire, a.k.a ying sooo wanted to be featured in my blog lah. but well, she's special enough. so here's to my evil twin, and the success of our new catch-phrase! =D **don't you hate it when people ask:"what's your problem?!" aren't you sick of old cliched answers like "my problem is YOU"? then me n ying might just have the solution! next time you're confronted, simply answer: "i'm too seks-sheh (sexy!)" ** hahaha. end of advertisement!

and then it rained, and rained.

i want a beef plant!

2005-08-15T21:17:00.000-07:00

-did you know? you mooove me-was i dreaming when i heard that beef can now be synthesized, or planted?! AMAZING. it's like the best invention after football? i mean, i can't live a day without beef. and guess what? i can now plant beef! i can now eat beef from a pot! yayy. its greenfingers no more. i need red ones. haha!
"if moo could see, what i see. yu're the udder to my prayer!"

ok. that was an embarrassing outburst. anyways quite happy now. i found $3.40..in the fridge! turns out i bought drinks from 7-eleven last month and left the change inside. what a windfall. haha. i should start keeping track of my finances before i go broke for real. like mrs khoo once saed, i've got no self-control.
but then again, according to her, i've got everything else! for example: ovarian cancer, blood disorder, uterine cancer, kidney failure and hyperthyroidism.. wth!

bio lect was damn embarrassing. mrs khoo saboh-ed me!! thank God i could answer a bit, albeit a small bit. sigh! =( i'll get my revenge though, i swear. haha! grins. had feedback session during civics. ultra useless! but i voted nissa for prom king and johannes for queen. and crazy bekky wanted to put me?! like so random. bet she has a crush on me la. haha!

Ooh! me and sal had an intellectual discussion on politics today, and we reached a consensus: there should be a royal family system in S'pore! the glam queen shall be yours truly, while sal settles for second best-the clam princess! and quoting her: "eh..-ponders- it's ok lah! better than nothing. ON!" haha. she's sooo cute! =D

get well soon ying. thanks huaz mum for letting me hitch a ride to Heeren! bought weixian's havianas flipflops there. quite nice. woohoo. im gonna be Santarina Claus tmr.. bring prezzies to the August Babies! =D HoHoHo.

LFC vs Boro

2005-08-14T18:52:00.000-07:00

LiverpoolFC 0-0 Middlesbrough
* the line-up:
Pepe Reina
Stephen Warnock
Jamie Carragher
Sami Hyypia
Steve Finnan
Bolo Zenden
Xabi Alonso
Momo Sissoko
Luis Garcia (Djibril Cisse 57)
Steven Gerrard
Fernando Morientes (Milan Baros 67)
-un-used subs: Scott Carson. JAR. Zak Whitbread-

not bad for an opening match i guess. one point's better than nothing!
Formation: 4-5-1. uniquely Rafa. =) an attempt to alleviate striker crisis in the current team. sending Gerrard and Garcia to support the lone striker upfront. which i think is a great idea! =D firstly because both have a keen eye for goal and particularly-stevie G's on the roll, having chalked up 7 goals in pre-season. would also highlight the fact that liverpool now have more ultra-talented midfielders than they can handle. i miss JAR. i miss Hamann. but i trust Benitez. he's really a master tactician in his own right. not as imposing as Arsene Wenger. not seemingly wily like Sir Alex F. nor is he as vocal as a certain jose Mourinho. He's just him. silent but deadly. =D
anyway as you can see from the picture above, i sincerely believe Mohamed Sissoko's gonna be the next BIG thing over at the Kop. his energy is contagious i tell you. he just has so much heart when he plays. giving his all for each match. imagine a more flashy Jamie Carragher, and that's Momo.
Bolo Zenden hasn't impressed just yet. i guess he's adjusting. Looking foward to Peter Crouch's debut on Week3! heard he's noted for aerial ability, which really isnt surprising. haha. i hope he's the answer to our striking lack of attacking men. Oooh. and i heard they might want Owen back if they get a good deal on Baros. i want Owen!! nobody understands/complements Gerrard more than him, really. not even Xabi Alonso. they just have this inherent telepathy thing going.

Liverpool's reclaiming their glory. and this will be one season to remember. with impressive signings. exponential player improvements. and intense competition. it's gonna be Red Hot.

EPL starts!

2005-08-13T19:28:00.000-07:00

Let the Games Begin! English Premier League Season 05/06 officially kicks off today! Opening match at 7.40pm, on ESPN, with Everton vs Man Utd. haha. not bad for a highlight yah. there's a screening of this at Devil's Bar (if anyonex interested.) Liverpool's first match against Boro's scheduled at 12.40am, Singapore time. i'm sooo looking foward to it! shall watch at my neighbourhood kopitiam with all the drunk mats and crazy ah peks tonight. whoopeedoo. haha.

Ms Chua, instead, did the supervising of C.W.O. what a relief! but.she's.so.weird. i merely told her: i didnt know what weeds were.. but i could pluck out everything that i saw was green around the general office. -and guess what? she nearly had a heart attack lah! wth. i was being nice right?!! weirdo lei. haha. oh wells. at least i bailed oon and myself out of a day of weeding.
ended up with the equally thankless job of collecting rubbish ard the sch though. so we resorted to stealing rubbish from the trashcan so it looks like we were hard at work. aint we smart! haha!

sneaked out halfway with josh and jeremy to Serene Centre for macs breakfast! but not before we hid that unglam garbage bag we were given..in a smelly fire hosereel cabinet! haha. they are both damn funny lah! josh was acting so paranoid about walking through the main gate. like, hello? today is saturday! hahaa. and jerm was trying to get some girl off his back, so i helped him. =D anyway his surname's HOE. cool huh? like ai-mar-HOE. get it?! hohoHOE.

since i had a lot of time..walked to Holland Village afterward to wait for ying! haha we were supposed to meet for lunch at n.y.d.c and mug later. but i met her empty-handed. no wonder i had this feeling i forgot something! sorry girl.next time go yur house with the good air kaes. we spent the time more productively anyway.. went to shop for huiting's prez. and got her a nice skirt. yupps. Holland V is such a nice place!!

in conjunction with the recent seventh lunar month activities, i've accquired a tennisman talisman (its a picture of jeremy now residing in my wallet) to join in the fun! just ask me and i'll show it to yu. feeling sweet today. =) haha. think its effective. can scare off 99% of the ghosts. BOOOOooo.

money.

2005-08-12T22:37:00.000-07:00

Think about it: money can't buy happiness. neither can it extend the battery life of my lousy Samsung hp. thats what i realized after my phone died 5minutes before the stipulated time to meet my ebay seller. made me walk around tampines for 15mins to find a person ive never seen before in my life. wth. haha. had a revelation along the way: i can now proclaim that at least half the world's population lives in tampines lah!!! the MRT station/interchange is perpetually chock full of people.

BAHS!! i've gotta do C.W.O with sharon phua tomorrow!! =( crap. ms tan sure knows how to make my day.. telling me about this at like, the first assembly ive attended since term started?! assembly today was crazy. but entertaining! though i nearly tripped over this biig table Aqua house decorated (just to step on!) haha.

ponned pe again and went for macs b'fast with char! the trip was sooo worth it. i swiped the straits time's epl special from their rack! ok wait. i left it at the student lounge this afternoon! -GAH! wanhua! im gonna kill yu- sniff. now the only thing i remember from the paper is: "blindness is a prerequisite for refreeing" haha.i like! =D

eh crap. actually ponned everything except math today. i suck. haha. and i had to see Queen Kong (chem teacher) on my way to the student lounge la! so i just brazenly lied my way through. not good. haha.
here's a small transcript.
QK: omg. is that ivy?! why nv go prac.
me: er.. yah! heh. i..just came to school to hand in..*brandishes my redundant stats book*.. this! err and i was late! right. i was late!
QK: (weird look) you came to school THIS late?! (it was 1.30pm)
me: late?! did i say late?! i said i was SICK! ha. ha. *wipes sweat* SICK. i got appt today morn what. i told yu already right?!
so she sighed and left. i hate her. and like weixian will say, "im sure it works both ways". hahaha!
*played pool with ying and hua at BTP before going tampines. they're good. =) must learn from them!

ohh.had a disturbingly funny dream yesterday.
(according to sally of my dream) i was like in the year 2035, and harry potter has already became a retro book. sally: "eh. do you remember who died in that H.P Book 7?" of course i didnt.
and so she said.."it's..........BERTINUS!" hahaha. ok that was random. but really funny if yu knew who he is. grins. anyways!! i havent seen sally in YEARS. oh, my coochie poo. (less coochie, more POO) i mish u. hope yure feeling better.. so yu can get me the mrs kutcher bag!! haha! come to school please! =D

i'm going to watch EPL highlights soon. catch it too!

=D

2005-08-11T19:38:00.000-07:00

LFC 3 - 1 CSKA Sofia -CL qualifiers (3) 1st Leg.
** Scorers: Cisse (24), Morientes (30), Morientes (58)
whee.im happy! haha. though my day started really BAD. almost reached school early today for once.. yet i had to oversleep on the busride!! afterwhich all hell broke loose. had to waaalk from sixth avenue busstop back to NJ! then got stuck in the middle of the busstop gate and specs stand. received a call frm a hyperventilating ms tan. and in the end, lectured by mr thong before finally reaching bio lect! by then i was sweating like a pig, i swear. haha!
*and all these because of who? this girl in front of me who refused to wake me up. sniff. too bad i've never been one to bitch about others, so i will not let myself elaborate further! *takes a deep breath*

gah. -explodes- LIKE HELL I WON'T!! im so angry lah. haha. that evil woman. to think i actually smiled at her when she sat down, in hopes she'd wake me up should i oversleep. i even neglected the fact that-#1, im an elitetist & #2, her hair sucks!! allow me to paint a mental picture. *WARNING: MIGHT BE TOO GRUESOME FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED. for starters, her hair condition was fine. but her great grandmother probably chose the accessories. (not that i have anything against great grandmas, of course!) anyway she had on this crazy flowery hairslide in replacement of a hairband. and an ultra mouldy, peeling rubber band. thats not the worst yet! she actually propped her ponytail up and secured it with an ancient hairclip even mrs cheng wouldnt wanna be seen in! scaaary. in fact, i havent seen such horrible hair since V****.private joke!
PS: if the descriptions sound even remotely like you, im so sorry im a bitch. but yure still a meanie! =(

ooh. but the silver lining was that mr thong's laptop had no battery after he was done nagging. so we escaped without keying our names into the list!!! seen a loser bigger than him or me before?! huijia n i was thinking he probably used energizer batteries for that laptop la. haha!

after the drama and excitement in the morning, i was basically just looking forward to meeting constance at 6th ave for lunch! -although i've already ate 2 bowls of yong tau fu, one lor mee and a currypuff beforehand- we went to this simply bread place to eat sandwiches! really good. =D then venezia to eat brownies n ice cream, hehe, all the while bitching about our friend who proclaimed himself a Louis Vuitton Slut. WHAT THE HELL lah!!

came back to sch for mrs cheng's pitch, which less than half the class attended. *joe: look at me. i AM the civics rep!!* haha. after that went to see mark Lo for my results. bleah. but thank god he's cute. im seriously considering taking up huaz offer on joining history class. =D tata!

i'm awake..

2005-08-10T13:20:00.000-07:00

testing. haha! this is my first blog! using my bro's laptop cuz it's faster and nowhere near corrupted as my own. sigh. thanks lil bro! =D

today was national day holiday! met up with my ex classmates at Fish&Co. glass house. FUN! (i was 2hours late though, sorry!) the food was fine, save for the fact that i hate fish. haha. but their butter rice's great!! me n xinhe even shared an extra serving of it. yummy. ooh!! and over lunch we were playing dumb games, all of which our dear pradip couldnt comprehend. (there were no formulas to derive this time!) i bet he only knew the "bang bang! who dies?" one. ha ha ha. thats one-up for me =D

went back early to visit my grandma. ended up drinking ALOT of this ultra plum liquer. mans. i was pouring out a half glass of that strong shit when my bro said "eh! its not the same ones we drink, its vintage!" and in alcohology, vintage=power knock out. gah!! a bit too late right. i couldnt even do an "on-the-rocks" version, i'd need a bucket to contain it la! at the first gulp, i cringed. the last drop? i was resisting the urge to grin at myself in front of a mirror.
haha. yeah it was that bad. but good at the same time. i needed it.

* funny, how the first thing that comes to mind is always what you keep wanting to forget.

PS: sesaME* street was blogged to u today by the number 1 & the letter v!
