it's one of those times when your momma sits you down and gives you a prep talk on ________ whatever there is to talk about. usually it's academics. whoah, in fact, it always is.
that was thursday. so i had to forgo going out with char, yihan and debs. it wasn't such a bad day. woke up pretty early. 8.15am for a non-school day is early. and did 4 hours of bio! i must be seriously lacking in the productivity area. i take like forever to do homework. and guess what? tehre's still more to go. then for the rest of the day, i lazed around. read some, watched some tv, and oh-you-won't-believe-it, i played RISK. that really stupid game where you roll the dice and try to take over the world. i am BRAIN. the pinky and the brain the pinky and the brain, one is a genius the other's insane. nah, anyways, i feel like buying LOTR RISK. there's this version where the world is middle earth. now i'm truly insane. it's not even as if, it'll make playing more fun.
and did i mention i watched tv? i'm embarking on this tv marathon these days. i watch so much i can't figure which tv programme to shower in. and i almost always have to wait for a commercial break to minimise my loss. i'm crazed.
oohh..and i'm going fruity! fruttti-tooti! frutt frutt frutt. i'm going looney. it's all part of this eating fruits before you eat a meal instead of after supposedly better for health and marginally useful in losing weight. yesterday was 2 slices of papaya, 1 slice of pineapple and 1 banana. i'm appalled. i'm largely carnivorous. and i really dislike papaya. so the fact that i'm eating it is crazy. and i believe the bunch of bananas had like 12 bananas on it? i must have eaten like 8 of them. coz i had 2 bananas for breakfast the other day. and i've stopped snacking. i must, coz each time i go out, if i do, i end up eating back everything. so it's of great and i stress great importance to cut down on my calorie intake. but every couple of days i end up eating one of those horribly sinful liqueur chocolates. and feel the alcohol just ooze in. yummy.
and tadda! it's today now. i went swimming! swam 8 laps. it's pretty pathetic. but i nearly died. still quite happy la. maybe i can make it a regular thing. so i took my weight on the weighing scale. and if the scale's right, i lost 3kilos!. yay. so like 5 more kg to go.
and i'm darker now. goodie. had lunch. my sister was scrutinising the menu trying to forbid me from touching all those really unhealthy stuff. i was super hungry and she had a nice time trying to tempt me.
then my mom sis and i went to thomson area to check out kennels for my doggie. man they are horribly ex. 220 bucks for some plastic thingy. we're gonna get it soon i think. poor baby musn't get cold at night. then went for evening mass after that.
my dad's coming back tonight. so we're gonna celebrate my grandma's birthday tomorrow with a lunch. yikes, means i must wake up late so i can skip breakfast and then eat lunch. or maybe i should have a banana. gonna meet lili tomorrow to catch up on old times. it's been so damn long. she being stuck at VJ, so darned far.
eek. i'm gonna have a frutt now. and then dinner. then tv!.

dear 71. forever.
holidays change a lot of things. but i hope any change will be for the better.
"And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will pay no mind
That it won't and it won't because it can't
Because it just can't
It just can't
It's not supposed to"
- john mayer,
clarity -
shouldn't we be living now?

oh whee!
tammy's head monitor! i'm so darn glad! an NP gal's the head monitor! see? all those seniors had such a problem. and now, she's gone and become a figure! and to think i used to be in charge of their squad. i feel old..
pw ended today. ended. after so many meaningless and unworthy entries devoted to that one sick cause, it's finally over. certainly we were given surveys to fill in and what more could i say? i mentioned heartily that the aims were prolly not achieved. but of course, there were certainly some good pts. like learning IT skills whihc i realised i'm the absolute worst in the group. furthermore, i also interacted with people i may have otherwise avoided my whole jc life. so it's kinda sad. coz it's gonna be a make or break thing. if pw got strangers talking, i jolly well hope its end doesn't make us stone-faced people.
nonetheless, i think i fared okay. better than all those horrid times i rehearsed. longer too.
the weekend was a blur. i've been horribly sleep-deprived.
but saturday was interesting alright. it started off well enough with everyone in high spirits. we were painting and trying to converse in malay with the old lady about painting her house. then there was this horrible misunderstanding. she knew we were painting her house yellow but didn't say a word till we had gotten her whole room and door yellow then she freaked. so we had to repaint her house in white, over the yellow. our morale was way low for a while. and ya know, law of diminishing marginal returns. so we had like 4 brushes, 10 people in a puny space. yuenmei and me got so bored we decided to cover all the furniture in newspaper. so we got everything and everything all covered and taped up then we tried playing guess-what's-underneath-the-newspaper game. really stupid. eventually, we finished late and got back to HC, all of us looking like we could pass off as ghosts. white paint in our hair, and paint and weird stuffs all over.
then we had halloween. it wasn't too good coz of the poor turnout. i think HC succeed more at a chinese ghost festival. since we were waiting for haunted house, anthon and alex took 6 of us girls on a tour of chinese high in the dark. supposedly to take us around the place and visit all the err...eerie places. they have many apparently. what with all its WWII history. they were brave enough. but i really freaked. and i didn't dare to go back coz we were pretty alone. and alex was going on about visitng the torture chamber cum clock tower. which nearly made me lose all my nerves. desperately listening to hillsong on manda's cd player to calm my frazzled nerves.
i guess the guys figured that i really wouldn't walk any further so they led us back. luff ya manda! so nice and protective. i'm a goose!
so i wanted to watch exorcist but was sorta late. we sat around to wait for haunted house. but it was so darned crowded. like 1 hr and 45 min later, we were still waiting and they said we had to close. so anthon and these 2 other guys plus junjia lileng and i ended up leaving. boo. i liked the bus ride home though. it was quiet and the bus was non-aircon. all breeze and cool air.
so yesterday was pia pw day. ailin was like, "heard your hum ji(no balls) story about last night". haha. all the freaking out at tchs circulating and all.
i think our pw meetings are super cool. we get work done but all the same, we get to talk and 'socialise'. it's darn funny, coz we've got all these funny stories. i shan't bother reproducing them here. the effect will be entirely ruined.
anyway. today was this uber raining day. then we were eating in the canteen and i swear this flash of light entered the canteen. like lightning yea? and the thunder was so darn loud. just like those good ole days in st nix when it stormed. so i screamed. and haha, damian's face was this look of quizzical-ness.
after pw ended, some of us were in the fishtank fixing the gpf and the thunder just went on. so i just kept screaming at regular intervals. highly amusing.
okay. yay. i'm excited. i'm gonna bathe now, then i can sleep early!.
