Blogskin by Yanny :)


Wednesday, October 29


I'm happy! (:

I was so dreading radio class this morning,
which did nothing to put me in a good mood.
Especially with that silly, stupid and retarded 3 hours break.

I can understand the logic that we'd have to stay in school anyway for projects,
but still!
We'd have rather plan project time ourselves.
Do you not realize that would make us skip the morning lectures?
HUH HUH?

But anyway.
Radio is actually pretty fun! (:
We learnt all the tricks of the trade,
and everything.
Not that I'll bored you with it.

Let's just say,
my class is awesome. (:

Despite playing Pokemon Edition Hangman during tutorial. -_-

I saw HuiJing and Lianghao in school today! (:
And Jing is coming over. :DD
Which makes me think: did SC skip school?
HMMMMS.

I think so.

And yeah, I'm stalling.
'cause I dont want to do my work - which is a freak lot,
think 2 articles, research on Jap, create horror-themed website, attend boring Lasik talk for a radio interview and many many many more ):
but I'd feel terribly guilty if I started playing games.
HAHA.

You know what I need?
A motivation to start all this.
I'd feel accomplished if I actually just STARTED.
Seriously.

Blah.
Me lurvvvee Yannnnnyy boy,
but she lurvvvee someone else. ):
SHOO.


:DD

Tuesday, October 28


I never realized how much paper each household has,
until I started saving up all the advertisements and letters for recycling.
And by golly,
it's a huge bagful!

So peeps,
do try and recycle the useless papers going your way;
including old notes and texts.
ME LOVE THE EARTH! :DD

Yes, I have probably gone crazy.
Not that the message wasn't heartfelt.
It was. (:

It's just that, school has started,
and Yanny and I are in the same group for every single subject.
Her and Krado.
And that's plenty of fun! :D
Fun equates craziness, in Yanny's distorted world. (:

School has officially started.
It's so weird that each TP semester has a soft opening,
before an official opening. O.o
Projects, groups and cliques are starting all over again.

Here's how I know school has officially started,
guaranteed and chopped. (:

ONE.
People stopped paying attention in class. (:
You see all the laptops out and up,
all on various sites like Facebook, Sony Ericssion (dont ask) and various blogs.
And definitely MSN.
At least the better ones has the slides open on some unused tab.
Read: ME. (:

TWO.
We dress up to school.
You see, it's only the first week,
so first impressions still counts - lecturers, tutors and potential group mates.
Of course, it's also because we have plans after school. (:

I see girls in heels and make-up,
and guys in nice sweaters and shoes.
Not to mention the styled hair. -_-
I dont get it, guys should go au natural when it comes to their hair.
Right right?

THREE.
Everyone is on time for lectures and tutorials.
Why?
First impressions again, among others.
And, everyone wants to get the best possible group.
But I'm not guilty of this;
I dont mind being late 'cause I got my groups all sorted out! ((:

FOUR.
We started wandering to BizPark again.
BOO.
I'm so sick and tired of that place!
Though the western's quite nice.
Gah, I want to go to Mensa!

FIVE.
There's a new topic during lectures!
Instead of, "What did you do over the hols?"
usually shopping, going overseas and so forth, yes, even the guys!
we now IM "Oi, pay attention! :D" to each other.
Yes, that's what the bored do in class.

SIX.
I've becoming crazy! ):
I actually rebuked Mr Ramesh twice today,
once in lecture and another in tutorial.

You see, he was talking about always being lost in Sengkang,
'cause he cannot figure out the bus routes,
even with the bus guides at the stops. O.o
So I said loudly, "It's okay, we know you're 48."
And the whole class roared.

It was terrible!
My face, I'm sure, grew warm;
and he told me to watch out for my grades. O.o
HAHA.
Sorry, Mr Ramesh, no harm intended! (:
If you must know, you're my favourite tutor. ((:
I promise to shut up next time. (:

And finally! SEVEN!
I'm getting crowded by projects and assignments!
And I dont like it one bit.
There's no real break this semester!
RAWR!

So I'm kickstarting my social lifeless semester...
with an article. (it's a frigging assignment!)
BYE.

Yesterday was my momma's birthday! (:

The chinese one. O.o
That meant, eggs noodles.
And doing all the chores.

Plus!
Handing her my laptop
so she can play Word Challenge and the Brain game. -_-
As if she could beat my score. :D

Ah,
now I sould like a games geek.

I'm not. (:
I'm actually going out later.
With my best girlfriends.
Mary, Irene and Yvon. :D

Anddd,
I'm going to Ikea tomorrow!
I want to look at all the bedroom sets they have.
But wait til Michael gets back,
so he can carry them for me.
Muahahaha! (:

Ahh, gotta go. (:
Byes.

~

Sorry I couldnt be at Manda's party, Manda.
Let's go out someday else to celebrate your legal age. :DD

Friday, October 24


Michael called today! ((:

Like finally. :D
Apparently, people in his camp has been calling home everyday.
Ptfs. BOO!

But I'm happy anyway.
'Cause everyone, and I mean everyone,
has been telling my cookies are good. (:
Yays!
Jojo can bake. ((:

Quick,
plead me and I might just bake for you. (:
lalalalala~

Monday, October 20


Michael is gone gone gone!
He's probably halfway to Aussie already.
Hmms.
And it's for one whole month!

I guess...
I should take it kindly.
After all, school's starting;
I should definitely pull up my grades! *nods*
It's horrendous. O.o
*pouts*

Besides, I've got lotsa pals to meet up with;
and a ton of things to do.
So there, Michael.
Who needs you? :D

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Okay, I just have to keep busy.
Hmms.

Oh, this is funny!
Michael came by to pick me up today,
so I could go to the airport with him.
Weird huh, him picking me up to send him off.
Anyway!
My neighbour saw us leaving my place,
and her eyes practically popped!
She probably thought we were doing the indecent,
or whatever.
HAHA.

When HuiJing comes over,
will Auntie-neighbour think the same thing? O.o

Melodyy's coming over to play!
Play-date. (:
We'll gonna bake, cook, talk shit and drink.
Without the guys! (((:

But she's still at school.
Blah.

Jojo(:
is counting down to 16Nov.




18:21



I'm looking at eons-old neoprints, and,
I decided that my friends are the bestest ever.
And Mommy.
And Michael.
(:

You guys rock,
as teenage-y as it is. (:

I never regreted making the friends I did,
'cause you guys are the bomb!
Lianghao, SC and most of all, HuiJing,
Jagerbomb! :D

We are crude fun mean fun silly fun!
I like. (:

And me luurvve Momma loooooonnng timeee!
Especially when she is in a jolly mood.
Or.
Only when she's in a jolly mood.
HAHA.

And Mickey!
Michael. Weyzi.
Mr Mosquito!

You are flying off to Aussie. ):
I've lost my drinking partner aka sponsor! Muahaha!,
my fellow Scrabble-mate who's on a looonnng losing streak :D
and my long-suffering boyfriend.

For a whole month!
*pouts*

And he's probably going to lose weight,
under the harsh training - according to Daddy dearest.
Which means, I'm stressed!

Joey,
you must lose lotsa weight before he's back! ((:
HAHA.

In the meantime, I'm meeting him in a few hours -
Moulin Rouge,
Scrabble,
lunch...
flight.

Hmmmmmmmmmms.
*Sighs*

People to hang out with ASAP!
CMM gang
Xinyi
Clarence
Irene
Yvon
Aileen 22 Nov! (:

Michael,
Off you go to Aussie!
While down under, dont miss me too much. I dont want to be the cause of your death. (: You'll come back soon! And, call me once you touch down. 3am or not. Well, at least, call me after your parents. (: Please do call them first!
Blah. Dont drink too much. Dont smoke. Dont turn gay! O.o Dont kill tofu! :D Dont skip meals. *nods* Do think of me. ((:
Byebye!
((:

Saturday, October 18


Woah.
It's early.
But it's not because I'm a goddamn early riser - I'm not.
It's just 'cause I haven't slept. ):

I'm sleepy!
Jeez.
I think that's all I blogged about. O.o

So, let's change topics. (:
Zhenghua Secondary tour - it's over!
I cant decide to be happy about it, or to be sad though.
No more travelling, versus a really nice class.

Hms.
No more travelling wins! :D
It's 1 1/2 hours of potential sleep!
RAWR!

But yeah.
My class for day 3 is really fun;
I like 2E4! (:
They are a bunch of really amusing people in a nice way (:
which really remins me of 2E. ):

The way the girls and guys bicker,
the way the guys say absolute rubbish yet sound so funny;
and the way a Wenjie-in-the-making behave.
It's fun luh! (:

And there's this bunch of guys in the class -
they are great kids!
Yes, kids. :D - I hope they see this. (:
And they were all asking all kinds of questions;
like, my school, age, number...
Which Lianghao forget to report to Michael.
Haha.

He knows already. (:

Now that it's all over,
I want more tours!
BOO.

Friday, October 17


Sheesh.
I fell asleep while blogging.
And I completely lost my train of thought.




09:55



I feel very very tired.
Like,
utterly exhausted,
totally drained,
completely spent,
and very sleeping-beauty-trance-like.

I want to sleep.
I want to play.
I want to be free!
):

Child-like as it may seem,
I'm really starting to hate hearing:
"Joey, are you free to meet clients?"
"Can you do this underwriting?"
"Nothing to do, you can go first."
"Joey, you must come do this..."

It's very




01:27


Thursday, October 16


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
What a tiring day.
I woke up sleepy,
went to work feeling sleepy,
got home feeling sleepy.
-_- Great.

But that's alright.
'cause, tomorrow...
is my last day at Zhenghua Secondary! :D
No more 1 1/2 hour train rides,
repeated animated videos of battles,
and no more Mr Yap.
Yays! ((:

All in..
21 hours time.
((:

BUT,
school is starting!
No more sleeping in,
and many many projects.

*sighs*
Life can be so exhausting.

~

2 hours later,
spent checking my timetable,
and everyone's important. (:
Wanna know if I checked yours?
Muahahaha!

YAYS!
I'm in Basic Sub-ed class,
along with Yanny, Krado and Ain. (:
And... XXX.
HAHAHA!

And no,
he is in no way an important person to me..
but I just checked out of curiosity.
Yes, c u r i o s i t y .
Hmms. (:

Anyway,
imagine the shock I got:
we're in the same classes!
For everything! O.o

Ah wells.
It's going to be a fun semester huh. (:

I told my partner-in-crime,
and she - YANNY! - is so cute!

RAWR!

Wednesday, October 15


Wow.
My days were seriously..
it's all jumbled into a single huge mess.

Lemme try.

7Oct.
I actually baked!
Woots. (:

See, the previous day, I woke up feeling homey.
And unfortunately for my room,
homey never equates spring cleaning;
it meant baking. :D
Or god forbid, cooking. (:

So, I baked.
Brownies,
which I dropped on the floor,
shattering the glass baking bowl
into a million little shards all over the kitchen.
Not very smart. O.o
P.S. Mom still hasnt realized her missing prized bowl. *shudders*

I also made oatmeal cookies
[double choco was sold out!]
which I didnt drop. (:
But it kind of turned out... overbaked. ):

All thanks to a lethal combination of Michael's logic
"Cookies hardened in ovens right? It's still soft!"
and my stupidity: for listening to him
and Scrabble. (:

Yes, we're in love with Scrabble!
It's a great game. (:
If you dont think so,
then you have obviously lost many times,
or *gasps* have never even figured out the game!

Well, we were very much in love with it anyway.
It kind of wears off whenever the score is out - 5 : 1.
Duh, it's Joey : Michael. :D

8Oct.
We went cycling. (:
Simply because we wanted to feel less guilty about all the food and drinks.
Or at least, I wanted to.
Except, we had Pizza Hut for lunch,
and we ate at the Lagoon.
And went to one of the beach bars.. yeah. ):

Plus, we only cycled for 1 1/2 hours.
Most of which was spent staring at clouds on the cliffs!
Break-waters, whatever they're called.

In retrospect,
I think Operation Cycling failed miserably.
Fine, I know it failed. ):
Ptffs.

At the rate we're visiting pubs and bars,
and dining fine,
we're both going to end up round and empty.
Round bods (think Wall.E) and empty wallets. O.o

10Oct.
WeiMing and Jeslin's birthday!
We remembered. (:


I went to Tiong Bahru - not thiong bahru, sc! -
with the guys to get their interviews.
Which I have already gone for.
What can I say, I'm nice. (:

Then we went for Sakae at Marina Square,
where they have this really nice stick-your-legs in the floor sitting.



Lianghao's probably thinking about his immense weight. ((:
Or, ours. ):

Coindentally,
Michael and Emerick Emeric gay partner
were having the same buffet at another outlet. O.o

Finally, we went to Minds Cafe;
where I trashed them at Scrabble.
But I got no kick out of it,
'cause they were all 'drunk on sushi'. -_-

So, we played mindless noisy games like Jenga:

Lianghao's question: Perfect date? Dinner movie sex. O.o
Joey's question: Ever been in love? No. [cue guys' laughter]


Then.
The. Big. Day.
We're off to Batam! (:

Mommy and I went - me without sleep.
Supergirl! ((:
Okay, silly.

The resort - KTM Resort - was pretty cool, if a tad isolated.


The view from our balcony! (:

Yes, our room has a balcony.
And it only cost $200plus,
inclusive of spa treatments, a city tour and meals.

Speaking of meals,
the seafood lunch was awesome.
6 different seafood dishes for 3 persons.
And 'cause my mom's vegetarian that day,
they rustle up 4 extra dishes for her - no extra cost. O.o



Correction,
very isolated.

And the lifestyle's decidedly different.

Wooden furniture,
behind wooden doors,
in a wooden room,
built on wooden stilts. (:


Cobwebs on door hinges,
and dust on .. wall-boards?



And halved tree trunks serving as bridges over ponds;
right to your door step! O.o

And this stairs lead to the family bungalows.
Stairs carved from a tree trunk!

The water runs straight to the sea
Very very gross.

I also witness the spa treatment ladies
throwing my foot bath water into the sea,
as if it was perfectly alright.
O.o

Dont think about the seafood,
dont think about the seafood!

But isnt the view simply awesome?

The spa villa, right smack in the sea,


bungalows on a hill / cliff, and

house on stilts.
I'm seriously hooked to the idea of rural living! (:

We did all our spa treatments there,
as the sun sets.
Very gorgeous! (:
Especially since the spa rooms doesnt have walls,
so we get to see the sea and sky turn salmon pink.
How's that for innovation?


Too bad I dont have pictures.
For obvious reasons.

But I do have other pictures which I really like.

The fountain ball actually moves along with the water jets! O.o

The emo-looking tree,


in black and white.


And this picture,
which was honestly a random shot. (:

I didnt take much pictures the next day during the Citytour,
since it was only shopping:
Ralph Lauren polos,
buying local food,
eating food veryveryverycheap!,
and ordering cakes. O.o
It's nothing short of a mircale that I didnt put on weight. :D

The only lament I have is:
I cant buy duty-free alcohol!
Apparently,
I have to stay at Batam for at least 3 days to purchase drinks.
What kind of rule is this?!
*pouts*

Honestly,
this is the first I actually browse through the alcoholics at duty-free;
I'm seriously shocked.

Bailey's just 36,
while a single pathetic shot elsewhere is pushing 13!
Johnny Walker's black is 30odd,
and Aboslute is more than half the price at the cheapest supermart.

I feel really conned!
Ptfs.
BOOOOS.

Holidays are now ending anyway,
something I'm really sad about.
I want my hols back!

I feel like I havent done anything at all. ):
Blah.
That's all folks.

Monday, October 6


Helloshellos! (:

I don't know why,
but I'm pretty happy today. (:

Though I had to go to the far west,
to meet I-can't-speak-no-English clients.
Hmpfs.

And one of them actually stood me up!
GRRRRRRR.

But who cares.
I'm billing my boss.
And changing jobs. (:

Anyway,
I intend to bake tomorrow! :D
Though I have to clean up the kitchen after that.
All because I can bake!
So please do forget,
that brown squishy thing we dared to call chocolate cake,
and the white kueh looking thing that should have been vanilla.
O.o

I can bake I can bake I can bake!
(:

Hmmms.
This is crap.




22:00



lalala~

I haven't been updating..
'cause I've been very very very lazy. (:

I think that's a good thing. *beams*
It's my holidays anyway.
And that's only 1 month left.

Right now,
I'm waiting for Mr Michael to pick me up..
and.
He's still not here.

SO.
I'm blogging. (:

I have decided to quit Jazz.
because I'm really tired,
Mom's really not happy with this job,
and it takes away my whole weekend. ):
HuiJing says, I practically disappear every weekend!
So, no more of that.
I'm back! (:
But I'd really miss the people there.

I'm going to be a kiddy tour guide. ((:
partly 'cause the guys'll there too. (:
It'll be pretty fun, I think. :D

And,
I most likely won't be working on weekends. (:
So there, mickey.
You can stay at Jazz if you want.
No worries.

Ah, he's here.
BYE. (:
