Notice you, noticing me

Yesterday was a really good day. I had a lot of fun after a really long time. I can't remember when was the last time i laughed my ass off so much :)

Contrary to what me and everyone else thought, the study date in the afternoon was a success, haha. When i said "success", i meant that the people who were there managed to talk to each other though i think they were never friends friends to begin with. If you ask me about the progress in their studying, i have no idea really.

Since i wasn't studying, i helped mark primary 4 papers. Goodness, the things they write really do amaze me sometimes. and to those taking A-levels, take my advice. GOOD HANDWRITING IS REALLY IMPORTANT. It is, i'm serious (Mira, please take note)! That's because i was very tempted to mark correct for most of the answers of this girl who had wonderful handwriting, though some of them were not right. It's like, just because of her handwriting, i just assumed that her answers were right. I mean, how can someone with nice handwriting go wrong right??

Then, i broke fast with Farhana at Makan Syiok! We managed to have a proper talk after quite a number of failed attempts. And babe, your dream is hilarious la! I have no idea why among all people, and i mean all people (including the ah peks in the world, haha), you have to have he-who-shall-not-be-named in your dream calling you...ok, let's just drop the subject alright!

Later, we had to rush off because she had tuition. She was late for it, of course, but there's always a blessing in disguise. We met our future boyfriend in the lift! Yes, our, because i don't mind sharing this one with Farhana. This guy's really good-looking (better looking than the brother who's actually good-looking too...well, that says something, right?) and intelligent looking (ok, it's thanks to the specs...). so now that he's all that, it doesn't matter that he's 14 right??

While waiting for Farhana to finish tuition, i spent time with Mira. Goodness, we were like drunk on plain water! We really LOL-ed all the way though i can't really remember what the heck was so funny yesterday, haha. We just sat at the playground, glancing at the fifth floor of that block, me secretly wishing that a good-looking someone will come to the window, haha.

"Notice you, noticing me..."


Mira and i just needed one decent photo of us. But we had to take like so many shots because something kept ruining it. Me laughing, me making Mira laugh, flash really blinding our eyes, Mira's right profile is better, etc etc.

When Farhana finally came down, we continued doing our nonsense at the void-deck. Gosh, i think i really haven't laughed so much in my entire life...ok maybe just not in a long time.

Girls, i really had a good time yesterday. Thanks :)

Lastly,
Dearest Fringe, please grow soon...like now?!

toodles!

i'm standing there, on the balcony of summer air

i love my hair now!

my hair looks wavier (is there such a word??), slightly shorter than usual but the best part is my hair has a freaking shape now. it doesn't look as limp and dead as before. oh but the boo part is, the fringe is cut abit too short, but it's ok, i'm still happy with the overall outcome.

i was so happy that i stood infront of the mirror with the fan blowing and started flipping my hair from one side to another. haha obsession!

okok, maybe my hair still looks pretty decent now coz it just got styled by the hairstylist. hopefully tomorrow when i'm meeting civilisation, it will still look this good.

now the wind can blow from any direction and the hair won't be such a mess. yay me! *think London* :)

kuih dan muih beraneka macam, makanlah jangan hanya dipandang

i cleaned the toilet for the very first time yesterday. i find it rather therapeutic actually(say whaaat?!). hmm i'm sure it's due to the influence of Chris, sigh.

or maybe i'm just in the mood for Hari Raya :)

and today, i made Kueh Makmur. well, my only involvement is to sepit the kuehs. but that is hard work, no kidding. i sat for hours, watching Friends and tons other shows while doing the chore. but everything's all done now. apparently the kueh is good. not that i know, coz i don't like Kueh Makmur at all -.- dammit. and i spent half a day doing it, boo.

fellas, sometimes we gotta tell them ladies

recently, i have been very captivated with issues such as race and gender equality. i think it's because i have been reading books and watching dramas about them. it's not that i intend to indulge more about these issues. it just so happens that i came across them and i find them rather fascinating.

for example, the book titled Family Tree. it's about a blonde couple who just got their first child. however, the baby has dark curls and tanned skin. they then start to track down their family. here then we can see how people are partial in their views about racism. like how we don't mind living next door to a black guy, but we may mind when our daughter marries a black guy.

currently, i'm watching the drama Vice Versa. it's about 3 different couples handling their own problems in their marriages. i know i know nothing about marriages, but this drama is unique in a way. that's coz each episode will be divided into 2. first half of the episode will be from the women's points of view and the other half will be from the men's. it's interesting to see the same scene being shot twice, but we see different perspectives from the different genders altogether.

whoah, suddenly this whole thing sounds so heavy for me. whatever happened to my typical Hannah Montana and Wizards of the Waverly Place?!

let your soul gravitate to the love y'all

it's sad to know that in this world, racial equality can hardly be achieved. it's one thing that you can't get a job coz you ain't capable enough, but it's another thing altogether when you get rejected coz of the colour of the skin or the way you look.

we get to choose whether we want to be educated...or being able to play piano...or cook well. to diss someone because of something that that person doesn't even get to choose in the first place is totally unfair. race is just something that we are born in. so how can some people use race as a factor to determine whether he/she is capable or talented enough?

just because one is of a particular race, doesn't make him/her a worse president.

these memories are playing like a film without sound

i woke up this morning at 10am and got all jumpy coz i thought i was late for work. i leaped out of the bed and grabbed my phone to text Nan asap. just when i was about to press the "send" button, i realise that today was a friday and i have no work today -.-

work. can't live with it, can't live without it, sigh.



yesterday...
i said to Nan, "thank you for accompanying me to buy the cake".
Midah said to me, "thank you for coming".

thank you. sometimes we do certain things just to spite people, and sometimes...we do almost anything for a friend.

i am not able to pen down the love, the emotion between people coz it just doesn't do justice. you feel it, i feel it. you understand it, i understand it. sometimes there's no need to stand on a roof and proclaim your love to someone. it's enough that those concerned know.

and i know you know.

happy 19th birthday Audrey!!!

my heart's crippled by the vein that i keep on closing

telekong shopping part 2 was a success. yay me!

phew, i almost died of suffocation in the hearts of geylang today, boo.



i don't want fahrin ahmad, it has come to a point where i need him, haha. i need him so that he can wear matching baju kurung with me :D



and first time ever, i felt bad leaving her all alone at the workplace, boo.

does the man even know you're alive?

the last thing anybody would expect when coming out of the mosque (or anywhere for that matter) is to see fire engine, police car and grey smoke somewhere few blocks down the street. talk about drama!

it was really like watching drama coz my sis and i bought ice-cream and chocolate drinks and walked all the way there just to kaypoh2. talk about typical singaporeans. hmmph.



i should just forbid the mother from buying bed sheets for me from now on. the last time she bought me was this green colour thing(!!! omg are you serious!) which i totally didn't like. her reason for buying that was that the colour would fit everything else that was on my bed. i have teddy which is brown, turtle which is green, bantal busuk which is green and my blanket which is brown. so she thought that a green coloured bed sheet will totally match the theme -.-''

for this year hari raya, she bought me this pink coloured bed sheet. pink still isn't so bad. the sheet has this huge roses on it. and trust me, when i mean huge, i mean huge! totally not exaggerating. sigh.



till then..."why don't you be my girlfriend, i'll treat you good..." haha i don't know why the song is stuck in my head.

wise up now or pay the cost

i met my neighbour on the bus yesterday. i don't talk to neighbours, maybe coz we were never that close and i think i don't gain anything by talking to them. i think the fact that my father's friendly enough to all neighbours is good enough already.

anyway, since we were like so close to each other on the bus, we started talking. super awkward, coz the conversation was all about knowing each other's family all over again. like excuse me, she was already supposed to know that i'm the eldest in the family!!

ok the fact that she asked me whether i was eldest in the family was still not so bad. if that shows that our relationship as neighbours suck, wait till this.

me: so just got back from work?
her: yeah...erm you do know that i don't live there anymore right?
me: huh, oh! you don't live opposite us anymore?
her: erm yeah, like *start counting* 6 months?? yeah, half a year already.
me: oh! *embarrassed already* so only your parents live there now?
her: oh they are actually my parents-in-law.
me: oh yeah yeah... *gosh*



telekong-shopping part 1 was a failure, boo.

you're my sunshine when my mind gets clouded

tuesday was good. told y'all.

if anybody wants to watch Make It Happen, please please please, just rent a dvd. don't buy, rent. take it from someone who cares.

and if you don't know that there is such a movie, then forget it, don't bother finding out.

i spent $27.90 on food today. seriously shimah, just because pay was out like 2 days ago, doesn't mean can splurge like that! think hari raya, think nice nice clothes, think nice nice treats :)

old as ancient skies, had at these wandering eyes

this year's VMAs was all about britney. she clinched 3 awards, awesome man! i really really hope this is the beginning of a successful comeback.

and frankly, i don't see what's the problem with the brothers wanting to wear purity rings. i think they deserve some form of respect atleast.

anyway, the song "Inside Of You" is really good people. it might sound familiar to some coz it was in the soundtracks of Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

once in awhile, we come across a song that just reaches the heart and make you go awww...this is definitely that kinda song.

and we all don't need to know who sang it. loving the song is good enough :)

i want to have a baby but not exactly by having a baby, gettit?

painting all my dreams the color of your smile

CAMP ROCK vs HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL

disney movies generally have the same basic storylines. the typical "boy meets girl/struggle with oneself/trying to fit in the norm/then realising that it's better being just you" ritual.

so well, camp rock is no different. besides the fact that i think demi lovato smiles a bit too widely, that i think the sides of mouth is going to tear and she's going to be the next Joker but nicer...well, then yeah camp rock is really not that bad.

most people around me say that disney movies are for kids/waste of time/typical storylines. ok maybe partly true, but they are still entertaining! and i'm sure some of them do watch but they have all this talk coz they wanna be "cool" and "mature".

reminds me of a colleague who was so against me playing jonas brothers songs at the workplace. next thing i know, she was singing to the chorus of sos. haha, hmm.

Storyline
hands down, i will agree with mira and say that camp rock has a way better storyline. and the characters don't irritate me so much like some *ehem troy ehem* hsm *ehem gabriella ehem* characters.

Choreography
i'm on hsm's side here. i really can't understand the choreography in camp rock at all. even the dance numbers like "hasta la vista", "too cool" and "we rock" left me clueless and uninspired. those over the top ryan&sharpay performances are way way better.

kevin is really funny. and that's why i think i like him better than nick though everybody is so into nick for his cute looks. he looks like adam lamberg, better known as "gordo" in lizzie mcguire, for goodness sake!

now, i'm just waiting for the VMAs. britney, please perform on the show :)

tuesday is going to be a good day

i think

i know

i hope

i can't wait

loves

so scream you, out from behind the bitter ache

i want my fringe back.
i want to trim my hair.
i want to style me hair hot.
i want sining's hair (who cares if her hair is 50% fake!)

to hell with priyanka chopra's voluminous hair, boo.



i'm Scoopy X people. shit man, there's a complaint against me. oh wells! *shrugs*

i don't like her in any way possible. don't like to see her at work, don't like to joke with her (never liked anyway), don't like to have any form of communication with her. boo her!




funny as it sounds, i need to go telekong shopping!!! :D

to rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons

i love long bus rides! frankly, i don't know when i started liking it. i think i have cultivated that habit for a long time now. when exactly? god knows. but all i can remember is that long bus rides are just so...comforting!

i mean, you just sit there, look outside, listen to music, stone maybe??...it's pretty relaxing! and the plus plus point? you get to explore areas of singapore that you never knew existed!...ok, maybe it doesn't sound as interesting as i find them, but heck! everybody should try it once in awhile. it helps, especially when you just wanna emo maybe, or trying to find a solution to a problem.

ok but, you have to be willing to spend hours (sometimes literally) on the bus. i have no idea why, but that fact never seems to bother me. ok maybe once - when i took 66 from bedok all the way to jurong east. that horrible bus ride lasted more than 2 hours. horrors. i have no idea how the paternal grandmother endures that. ok digressed...

basically, for a person to enjoy the long bus rides, you have to be like me...the "relek one corner" kind. i don't mind wasting time on bus rides. for those typical singaporeans who always rush here and there, i'll suggest you just keep to your normal mrt and cabs, hmm.

but one thing i will always remember about long bus rides is the bus rides with you.

197. bugis. jurong east.

priceless.

and babe, i miss getting lost again, weirdly as it sounds.

i'm hot, you're cold

i have been fasting for like what, a decade already now? yeah, around there. but frankly, this year will offcially win the "Hardest first fasting day ever" award.

there were so many instances where i would almost reach out for a waffle/brownie/cookie/icecream (and even banana!) but then upon touching it will suddenly occur to me that i was fasting.

and it didn't help at all when melvin from canele came to give us a box of macarons! check this out. i think they are so pretty :)

and once again, i almost reach out for one of them before the true hard fact hit me on the forehead again, bam!

nevertheless, i saved one and put it in a plastic bag, which i later ate after breaking fast.

macarons are nice, but can we have pasta now?
