Blogskin by Yanny :)

I will be the first to admit that it is a little premature, but who cares! I am a planner at heart. Or so I like to think.

On our 21st birthday, HuiJing and I are going to buy each other a rock! :D Seeing our financial situation though, it’s going to be a tiny rock. HMMS. But anyhow, it’s a nice gesture of an amazing 8 years and 9 months of friendship! I mean, by our 21st birthdays anyway. We will get the same design too – a continuation of all the similar things we have. Yes, we were counting yesterday at Cartel.

THIS IS EXCITING!

Haha. We were plotting to get the guys to buy for us! But we gave up almost immediately. I think I’d be glad if they remembered our birthdays. :P

11:01

Awesome Michael! :D

But the awesomer me is planning your birthday. :P *hugs*

11:12

21:13

What a well, emotional day. I’ve gone from being very happy to rather disappointed, from I’m-ready-to-murder-someone to dead sleepy.

But the most interesting:-

Reasons to be Fully, Completely and Utterly Pissed:
ONE. I really do not like children who climb furniture, crush papers and whine in the name of bullying tutors. They are really mean; and thieving as they know their tutors are helpless figureheads who cannot punish, scold and kill them.
TWO. I HATE dogs who have no toys and therefore chew my slippers to ribbons. *&$%#&*(&! D:
THREE. People who cannot say “Excuse me” and push past me, stomping on my toes at the same time.
I’d complain more, but it’s unhealthy. I think. It may cause wrinkles.

On a happier note, I managed to spend lots of time with Michael yesterday despite our schedules. They are not hectic and crazily packed schedules to be honest, just that we have to be where our schedule demands – him at work and me in school or in transit to tuition.

Seriously, just the thought gives me shudders. I have come to dread Wednesdays and Fridays.

Yesterday, Michael and I made a very Singapore’s heritage – ish tour to Geylang; famous for being a legalized red light district. Of course, we went there not to indulge in their offerings; but to try Singapore’s supposedly best food.

I say supposedly, because I think it is the atmosphere and place that gives the food the better ‘flavour’. Like how satay tastes better at the hawker centre than the one sold in bars or frozen in supermarkets. You get the idea. Of course, this opinion is mine. I expect Michael would disagree.

Anyhow, we walked and walked and walked the whole Geylang area – hence the cultural tour. I ended up being completely starving, so we had a heavy dinner. Beef kway teow for two (sorry Mommy, but the beef’s really good!), frog porridge (which is superb), Heineken and grubby pasar malam food!

I am quite long-winded this time around.

Though I grew up quite after the xinyao movement, I really enjoy them. Songs like Xi Shui Chang Liu and Yi Bu Yi Bu Lai are catchy, and better at capturing the Singapore spirit than the National Day Parade can. Looks like Dr Liang Wen Fu does it better.

But that’s my opinion, of course.

I wanted to show Youtube videos on these songs, but the overwhelming flow of SHE, Fahrenheit and other groups quite frightens me. They are better in small doses.

20:50

Just my personal take on Lianghao’s post: The True One

How do you start a love when you know of its end?

I think you can, because when you’re starting one, you believe it won’t end. Or, you believe that you can work out anything that stands in your way. I suppose it’s a conviction on your part – you have to believe it. Of course, it could just be a fling, a want to go through the sweet honeymoon period or to simply go through the motions of being a teenager.

To be clear, it refers to a relationship, not a love. I find it hard to believe in love at first sight – it’s like a corny theory, conspiracy even. How can anyone meet someone and decide immediately if he/she is The Right One?

So. I believe you can start a relationship, knowing of its end – a happy ending, if that is what you believe in. (:

And I completely answered the question like it’s a bloody essay.

I was so so so sick yesterday, and therefore couldn't help but be a little childish, a little whiny and a little lazy. I was simply doing nothing, lying on the couch whiling my afternoon away.

And then came HuiJing!

She bought me the awesome chicken rice from her area - after a phase where I felt like eating chicken rice everyday, she decided that it is now my reason for living. - for lunch. My bestie watched old shows with me:

John Travolta's Look Who's Talking Now

On a side note, the show is quite funny! I mean, the sex scenes were all replaced by images of the sperms swimming up the tubes and telling each other, "C'mon mate, you can do it. Oh oh oh, we're hitting jackpot!" Yeah, that's the funniest part for me.

Then Jing entertained me while I whined, threw pillows at her, hit her, asked her the weirdest questions *wink wink* and slept. :D

And she's coming over again.

Haha. I give thee, The Best Bestie Award! Thank you. :D

Our wonderful lives - all summed up.

'xcept that if I were ever stupid / brainwashed enough to give birth, I wouldn't call my kids 'fucked up rats'. (:

EDITED VERSION!

1. I shall be awesome to Michael. 'cause he's awesome and I'm awesomer! :D Loves!

2. I shall not gain weight. In fact, I shall lose weight in order to gain the SGD 500 carrot dangling in front of me. [Weight-lost/Weight Maintenance seems to be on everyone's list, so I thought I should include it too.]

3. I shall not be a lazy bum. I will study hard for my papers, prepare for university, find a decent job. I will not overindulge in movies or dramas or games. D: Yups.

4. I shall love me friends! Heh.

5. I will not get drunk. Drink slow!

6. I will not shop unnecessarily. No impulse buys, no odd pieces, no fashionable-but-good-for-one-use items.

7. I will not skip classes. This is important. *nods*

8. Uhm. I will keep my room looking pretty. Never throw stuff around again!

This is a rather high order. Hmms. Let me rethink.
Actually, this is a pretty okay resolutions.
Though it's more Will-dos and Will-not-dos. (:
It's more measurable than:
#456745875948 Be happy and smile often.

So yups.

To-Do:
- Sell piano
- Return library books.
- Make blog private.
- Fix dressing table!

ONE.
I don't even remember my resolutions for this year. I will write my resolutions for 2010 somewhere safe.

TWO.
I can't wait to graduate! No tests, no assignments!

At the same time, it is so scary. Where oh where do I go?

Oh sure, I have somewhat made a decision from all the possible plans. But it doesn't make the whole idea any less scary! Or frightening. It is potentially life-changing. D:

These days, I find myself constantly berating myself on my decision to go to Temasek Polytechnic. The good is that it is what I have expected: I have gained the experiences and learnt the kind of things (somewhat! I definitely didn’t bargain for learning television and radio skills) I wanted to learn. And I am graduating timely.

But if I did go to a junior college, I could be a Year 1 student in either of the local universities RIGHT NOW!

Of course, I conveniently neglected to think about the many possible outcomes: a less than ideal university degree (can you see me in electronics or something?), being retained, being forced to drop out and go for a diploma anyway. (I’m sorry if I hurt anyone’s feelings, it’s just thinking on my part.)

SO. I can’t decide if my decision is good or bad. I probably will never find out. I don’t know why I bother then, but I do.

Back to my life-changing plans: it is a given that I will not be a student in any of the local universities, even in Engineering. Where do I go then?

THREE.
I have so so so so SOOOOO much assignments and deadlines! Like, 2 every week on top of quizzes and classes! So I will probably not be free for almost anything. D:

What a great way to start a new year.
