this is to allow the entry below to be published. it is a nonsensical and useless message. *lol*
oooooh. i shall take the last few minutes of my internet time to type out this blog...
having a stomachache now but what the heck. can't possibly run to the toilet and back again. hahaha:) reminds me of a cartoon. ah wellz. nvm:)
was just re-reading (and deleting) e-mails that have been residing in my hotmail inbox for an eternity. went on a shmoooozal of an emotional rollercoaster ride. aww shucks. i do miss the times when i still type like thIs:) *grInZ* lots of gOoD huMoUr arOunD, vErY niCe inDeEd... seems like a whole year's worth of memories are being stored in the inbox...ze good and ze very, vErY -bad-.... hahaha:)
ah wellz. shall type about this nice girl who (in my opinion) looked like she should be heading for the beach instead. oh. but she's very nice:) *beamz* nice girl in the library. seems to be about our age too.
ah yes. why she's nice. 'cos of my need for a comp to check the stupid e-mails, and her kindness in offering to give up ze comp when she still has like 15 mins or so left. nice nice nice people ze library.
i have 5 mins left. sighz. so boring.
dreams. let me talk about dreams. i can't really remember my dreams too well these days...all that i know is that i have very realistic dreams once again. horrendously realistic dreams. much more realistic than life itself. now i wonder if my dreams are the place where i escape into from the cruelty of life, or if waking up from my dreams enable me to escape instead.
computer man coming again at 5pm.
hopefully by tonight my comp would be fixed.
*frownz*
sms me people!!! i'm so bored. and so detached from all of you. goodness gracious. or call me:):):)
ho-humm. i have a lot of time left. how? sighsighsigh. what a waste of $2.
should have saved it up for more important stuff...like my stupid m1 subscription fees...goodness knows how i'm going to watch a movie, go to coffee bean, eat at marche's/seoul garden's, have enough money for breaktime everyday in school and pay my $28 + goodness knows how much miscellaneous fees with $50. i shall do my best i guess. shouldn't have offered to pay...i'm sure dad won't mind paying once more:):):)
oooh. the n key here sucks like anything. doesn't work well for me.
hahaha. it worked. finally!
ah wellz. whether it's going to publish or not...i'm currently in the library, typing this stupid thing out, probably with people outside this place waiting to use this comp. really horrendous i tell you. typing extra fast now, rambling as well. my stupid comp was supposed to be fixed yesterday...but after scanning the whole hard disk for 2 hours ++ as instructed after repairing it, it won't let me go to any webpage at all. i can go online, i can go mudding, i can go on msn...but i can't go to any websites. really horrendous too.
gracious. let me try publishing here...wonder if it'll work.

-i've been thinking and here's what i've come to conclude,
sometimes the distance is more than two people can use-
volunteered for the salvation army again yesterday... *grInz* was at somerset mrt waiting for qingz when vivien called to say that the bus for the two old folks currently manning the kettle has come..so i hurried up to the kettle. ah wellz. it felt strange doing alone. hehehe:)
then qingz came. and jits called. hahaha:) she helped us the whole entire time. thankz jits!!!:):):)
weez and sze swung by to donate too:) and they were sitting down there, talking to us. hahah:) provided nice company:) *grInz*:)
and we saw samantha, on her way to takashimaya to help in something about old folks...miss lim told her to go or something:) and after a long while, we saw miss lau, miss lim and mrs low popping up at the same time. so funny:)
-i sing for you, i sing for mother,
been praying for the world-
i had to forfeit the bbq/gathering/reunion just for the sleepover. wondering now if it's a wise choice to make. ah wellz...at least i've been keeping in touch nicely with all of them...just don't know if i'm going to be able to keep in touch with my secondary school friends as wellz:) heh.
-if all the kings and all the leaders could see you head this way
they would hold the earth in their arms, they would learn to watch you, yeah-
ooooh. found out that kim hong and jerome are both going to nyjc. wonderful:):):) i wonder if jerome is still as short and charismatic as before. lol. the fishball prince. life in the first three months shouldn't be too bad with a close friend and the fishball prince. *grInz* wonder who else's going to nyjc though.
-who knows what miracle you can achieve,
when you believe, somehow you will-
had an unusual dream last night. *grInz* first dream in which...i'm not in it as myself:)
i dreamt that i'm in a family whereby i have two older sisters and one younger sister...my dad's dead and my mum is goodness-knows-where as well. my family deals with killing some kind of a stupid monster. and somehow or another, i knew beforehand that on this particular trip in which only my older sisters and my younger sister are going to, the monster will kill the oldest sister and my younger sister. and my second older sister will come back and scream at me ' you knew! '
so on the day itself, when my sisters were loading the rifle, i was just staring blankly at them...and before they left the door, i suddenly felt this flood of emotions and decided to hug my younger sister...and said to her that 'dad will find you soon'
and to my second oldest sister, i patted her head and said 'you're a good sister.'
the oldest sister seems to have gone.
woke up feeling sad.
-the conversation has run dry,
that's what's going on, nothing's fine, i'm torn-

everyone's splitting up to different jcs.
i foresee lots of splits and splats in friendship.
i got into nyjc:)
so predictable. how unfun.
hahhaa. now i'm a cowsie. how fun.
pardon me. it was only the day before when i was taking a nice peaceful shower when the thunderous realisation boomed into my delicate gray matter - that we won't be in the same class anymore.
that i won't be sitting next to tracy and yun lei, that i won't be going for recesses with qing and jitz and goodness knows who else...that there won't be a whole group of us playing basketball, or soccer, during recess anymore.
doesn't sound so dramatic now...but at that moment of peace and serenity, having such awful implications dropping onto you isn't exactly very pleasant. hehe.
ze following is for ze two friends who go gaga at mark chay: (copy and pasted...dun blame me if it's in pieces 'cos some sections are not suitable for thy innocent eyes)
Born 18 February 1982, 20-year-old Mark Chay, is arguably Singapore’s best male swimmer in competitive swimming. Blessed with a cherub’s face and a perpetual cheeky grin, Mark Chay cuts a swoon-some figure with his stunningly wide shoulders, swimmer’s bod (baby-fats notwithstanding) and well filled-up trunks.
The young swimmer’s achievements in the pool are indeed impressive by regional standards. Mark represented Singapore at the SEA Games in Jakarta (1997), Brunei (1999) and recently in Kuala Lumpur (2001) where he won a total medal tally of 3 golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze. He also represented Singapore in the Olympic Games in Sydney last year and was named the Singapore Sportsboy of the Year 2000 and Singapore Sportsman of the Year 2002.
When informed that he had been awarded the Sportsman of the Year 2002 award, the well-mannered hunk was extremely modest and quickly defused any speculations that he would soon eclipse the achievements of his mentor Ang Peng Siong with these words: “Definitely Uncle Siong has always been the standard of Singapore sporting excellence. He’s the benchmark. His achievements are inspiring. I am flattered that I am associated with him. But it is tough to be his successor.”
One of the first elite athletes to come under the Singapore Sports Council’s new Athlete Career and Training programme, Mark will have his total development (including career and education) mapped out for at least four to five years and will spend the next five years of his life studying and training in the United States.
(part 2)
Outside the competition pool, Mark Chay has made numerous TV appearances and appeared in fashion spreads clad only in his trunks for a number of local magazines in Singapore. A former student of Anglo Chinese School and Anglo Chinese Junior College, he is currently serving his national service at the Institute of Naval Technology & Operations (INTO) with the Republic of Singapore Navy.(Confession by author: The mere thought of my favourite swimmer clad in his navy uniform has the effect of making my eyes roll back in their sockets and sending me into an ecstatic swoon similar to those experienced by ancient medieval saints after they were pierced by God).
Mark Chay’s favourite pastimes would include playing bridge online, visiting www.swimnews.com for the latest results and statistics of swimming meets around the world and of course, spending time on his alma mater ACJC’s (Anglo Chinese Junior College) website at www.acjc.edu.sg.
His favourite dishes would include chicken rice which comes in the shape of a ball and home-cooked Peranakan food prepared by his grandmother. (Mental note to author's self: I will enroll in Peranakan cooking classes at the local community centre this weekend).
As for his goal in life, the sexy national swimmer had this to say: “One of my goals is to be an Asian Games winner – and make an Olympic final. I want to see how that goes. Those are very long-term plans. That may not happen this year, but I will try.”
Thus while Mark Chay continues to work hard at achieving his goal, this resourceful writer will continue staking-out at Mark’s favourite training grounds (oh please, do you honestly think I will reveal everything?) while fantasizing about the moment my favourite water baby administers some vigorous mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to yours truly.
Until then, I will continue to work hard at perfecting my drowning-lass-in-distress routine...

listening to duets. they sound so wonderful:)
*beamz*
hmmmz. look at this:
You are affected by the following:
Spell: change sex for 2 hours
Spell: bless for 103 hours
Spell: armor for 80 hours
crappified nonsense. i levelled. i was at a nice and innocent level 3 (except that jits spoilt my description) until i accidentally levelled today...without realising that i had noexp off.
it is relatively depressing.
oooh. till now i have personally talked to a total of two IMMs.
the first talk came as a frightful accident. i was happily killing off mobs in mudschool when vilgan summoned me into his IMM home and told me not to clear out mudschool...'cos other newbies would want to kill the mobs too. ah wellz. and he followed me around the whole time without me knowing about it.
second time was to sarlock. who very nicely helped me retrieve my corpse from castle vlad-shamir...which is at least 45 levels above me. i was wandering about the hidden path when i stumbled into the castle and this mob just killed me in two slashes. (not surprising 'cos it probably was at a level much higher than me too). so i asked for a cr on newbie channel...and apparently i can't go back into the area 'cos i'll get killed again...so somehow or another, Sarlock helped me:) *beam*
ah wellz.
had a not so nice dream again yesterday. oh it started out nicely...showing scenes of nanyangals shopping for christmas stuff about in one shopping centre (goodness knows why)...i remembered exchanging something for a bag as well. hehe:)...to shorten everything, in the dream, after a friend and i got out of the shopping centre, and walked for a while, we heard an explosion. turning back, we saw that it came from the shopping centre and the whole place just collapsed. last thing i remember was thinking about how there're still people inside the shopping centre and they'll be injured.
i dun particularly like the idea of having not-so-nice-dreams...hopefully they'll return to nice normal dreams:) happy dreams:) dreams that i've been having for the past goodness knows how many hundred years.

i could only remember one image from my dream last night..
the scene of a decaying baby waving its arms and legs about, until the flesh is gone and all that is left is not a skeleton of the baby, but a clay mould. the shape of the baby...just like a piece of clay, waiting for glass eyes to be put in, the nose to be pinched and defined and all the fingers and toes to be drawn in.
could be the after-effects of reading too many sci-fi stories these days... i'm finally reading the whole pile of Asimov books waiting for me. 'breathmoss' was particularly interesting, and touched deep.

-There is much power in a single touch, and sometimes much sorrow in the lack of it-
hmz. we went to the beach.
rode on the aqua bike:) *grInz* the aqua bike was fun...but terrible expensive:) *heh* it was nice knowing that u're on the water...moving on the water actually:) we had relatively turbulent waves at one point of time though...
oh gosh. i dun really have much to say... wanna have your own experience? go to siloso beach and find out:)
went to weez's house to play playstation.
ah wellz. i have a lot to say. just that i don't know how to express myself once more. too many things clog up my brain...*heh*
something happy to note though:) vivien smsed back to say that she saw our (our being qing and me)'s decoration and she said the deco's really nice...and she thanked us for being so motivated...hahaha:) *cheerz*
oh gosh. my net suddenly went so fast it amuses me...instead of the normal 3. something kb/s it's supposed to have...it jumped to 5. something kb. goodness. downloading 'die another day' by madonna. hahaha. got a bit hooked on it this morning when i listened to it...strange how a song suddenly pops out at you after so long.
-For every sin, I'll have to pay
I've come to work, I've come to play
I think I'll find another way
It's not my time to go-

Sunday, December 15, 2002

i'm sleepy. not used to getting up at 7am now that i've been getting up at 9 ++. ah wellz.
have to go early to aunt's house. cousin's wedding:) *grInz* we're going there to receive the groom. hahaha:) groom's going to be there early. like 8+... ah wellz. mum said that groom's afraid of not marrying my cousin. hehee:)
had a not-so-pleasant dream last night...consisted of two entire different segments. hehe:) first part consisted of me, qingz, jitsy and isobel going to some studio or something and actually two famous people. *beamz* two korean stars. hahaha:) then we went out the studio and i was spouting some stuff about...think i was feeling melancholy in my dream or something. and qingz was asking me stuff too. then we sat on a bus to the interchange. and that's all that i can remember.
now that i think of it...it seems to be a sequel to this mrt dream that i had a few days ago. how fun.
the second part of dream was plain mean. i dreamt that i was being pursued by people...to be killed or something. (note: throughout the whole dream, i still didn't run. ah wellz.) the first section showed me being tortured by the people (*boggle*) and i managed to run away...and my whole family was trying to save me or something. dad was driving me away from all the people chasing after me...and we didn't know where to go, so we crashed into this departmental store where they had this life big enough to contain vehicles (*cough*?) but people started to press on the lift and coming in... and we wanted to close the lift but they insisted. so we had to allow all the people to come in...and there were a lot of packages as well. anywayz, when we reached the fifth storey, the people chasing us actually peered in to see, but we were covered by all the people around...and when they asked 'anyone called xinying here?', my mum spoke up and said 'no', ah wellz.
when we reached the first storey, i remembered telling my dad that the police station is most probably the safest place for me to be in...and he tried to drive me to the police station, going against the traffic. but he couldn't reach fast enough...and so i dropped at this place with two shops...one of which is a gift shop which i went to before. 'cos i was thinking, they can't possibly grab me in front of other people. hehehe.
anywayz, in the gift shop, i remembered mustering up my courage to ask this person the name...always wanted to ask...but ah wellz. and told the person my situation and asked to get escorted to the police station. think that's when my dream ended...'cos the stupid alarm starting sounding.
ah wellz. still a not-so-pleasant dream.

btw, miss singapore universe means that she's an ambassador of singapore...interesting.
(part 1)
we had a very interesting 'sight-seeing' session this afternoon during our shift for the salvation army:)
first person we saw was Lisa...who we didn't expect at all. *heh* and then we saw janice (former debater of nanyang) and jinin (sec 3 junior)...and i saw suat ying, my former classmate:) hahaha:) and we saw lots and lots of little children...*beamz* people are more generous today too...there were quite a few 10 dollar notes.
but the highlight of the day came at 3 something. the reason why we stayed till then was 'cos the girl's friend who's taking over the next shift is late or something...girl's rather friendly:) her name's wai ying:)
before i go onto the highlight, let me point out another person whom we saw...and conversed with. actually she came up to us to donate some coins...then she went on to tell her life story. (summarized version)
how she used to be a mental patient...and now she's cured...but her job's not good...and they actually want to fire her ...how she lost all her pride being a toilet cleaner (she's actually quite young) and how her mum remarried and she doesn't have a place to stay in...then something about her mum always saying that she's lazy. ah wellz. poor thing though. salvation army apparently helped her in getting a home and all that...
(part 2)
anywayz, we were listening to this person...and then she went off, and i looked at qingz and saw this glazed look on her face...and i asked her 'why do you look so dazed?'.
her reply came as 'i just saw miss universe 2000'. or something similar.
hahaha:) yepz, that's the highlight...i kinda exclaimed and turned around and perhaps eunice olsen (miss singapore universe 2000) heard me exclaim, 'cos she turned around too:) and she actually walked back...with this guy by her side (ho-hummm...) and asked us 'are you selling something?'
and of course we said no and explained that we're giving out the calenders to people who donate to us:) *grInz*
and of course she donated:) the guy too:):):)
and in case anyone doesn't know who miss singapore universe 2000 is...she's the co-host of 'wheel of fortune' with bernard lim:)
she's really tall! and prettier in real person than on tv:) the guy with her looked really good too. hahaha:)
ah wellz. those are the good moments. the bad moments' that for the whole 3 and a half hours, we were waiting for friends whom we had arranged to come support us....and NOBODY turned up. so sad.

i'm still unable to memorize the whole of the ketchup song. ah wellz. nvm about it:) at least the chorus is in my head.
i forgot to mention that we saw my senior yesterday too:) *grInz* wee teng...she started to promote njc...and canoeing once more. said something about they have a lack of females...and that if i go in she'll take care of me. hahaha:) people going to njc...go join canoeing (?) and look for my senior.

Thursday, December 12, 2002

eekz. i used to many smses today too. by the looks of it, i'll finish my 400 smses before the end of this month. how nonsense.
ah wellz. before i start...anyone know of anyone with a newborn at about 1-2 months old? want him to go on tv? a scene with zoe tay will allow the newborn to earn $100:) tell me within these two days...that means by 14th december. thankew.
yesyesyes. today. today has been crazy. we went for the sushi buffet...and ate so much i nearly vomitted. thankz to all those laughing...'cos when ur stomach's bloated, then u laugh, then ur stomach muscles squeeze against the food, and the food starts to go the wrong way:) *grInz*
after the buffet, we went to the arcade. hahaha. ah wellz. didn't really have much time in there 'cos qingz and i had to zoom off to somerset for the volunteering thingie.
basically we just sat there the whole time smiling at people around and ringing the bell. hahaha. some irritating guy who was selling wands came up to us and wanted to buy the bell. *boggle* i lent him mine for a while and he shook so hard the stupid thing fell apart. luckily i managed to get it back. got him to donate though.
guan zhen was VERY kind. *hehe* she dropped by somerset just to see us:) *grInz* and she stayed with us till 7pm...ringing the bell and saying thanks, merry christmas or have a nice day to the people who donated:):):)
and the station manager of somerset actually came up and talked to us...chatted with us about how some lady had to book the space to collect donations...his working hours...*heh* really friendly guy:)
and we saw lots and lots of little kids. *grInz* who waved back at us when we waved to them. hahaha:)
qingz and i decided to bring some stuff there to decorate the donation box next time. *grInz*:):):):):)
*heh* i think i used a tad too many smses yesterday... ah wellz. i hope i don't exceed. on the other hand, the number of minutes used are little in comparison to the stupid smses (alliteration!)
had a hard time trying to waste the battery. i had to switch on the radio and play games at the same time. even so i didn't sleep till 2.45am or something similar. ah wellz. nevermind about it:)
oooh-da. qingz and me volunteered to help the salvation army in their collection of donations:) *beamz* we're going to be in the last shift for today and the second shift for saturday, at somerset:):):) it's really nothing much. u just sit there and try to attract people's attention to donate. i think. hehehe. and thank them when they do. ah wellz. actually u just have to look after the donation thingie...'cos people may steal the money:)
escapades. i like the word escapades these days.
wedding dinner yesterday night was awesome. help at the grand copthorne hotel or something similar i can't really remember the name, anywayz, yes, it was a huge reception. lotsa people. and half of the people probably don't even know the bride and bridegroom. heh. food was nice. in abundance though. and they threw all the extra food away. *sigh* what a waste of good food. the people at my table started discussing about what's the type of bean in dish four. 'cos none of us can exactly figure in out...

Tuesday, December 10, 2002

ooooooooh. i feel positively tired:) *grInz* from ice-skating...but now i'm broke. so sad. ah wellz. at least i managed to keep my hands off the side of the rink for almost the entire time (the only time was the few rounds to warm-up)...getting better i guess:) *beamz* ah wellz...now to work on the speed. everyone was faster than me!! *heh*
and i got my phone! yeah ah wellz. someone send me a mms. *beambeambeam* ah wellz:) too bad it can't take pictures...but the taking of pictures phone is so...bulky in comparison with the normal phone:)
oh gosh. i feel busy...will be going out everyday till next monday or something. ah.

Monday, December 09, 2002

oh. i forgot to mention. i watched the live broadcast of Miss World 2002 on saturday night on channel i. *grInz*
pretty people. but it's rather obvious miss turkey would win. 'cos the judges had already made their decisions on the first round...when they awarded her with the best costume. she has the confidence and poise to carry it through..and the costume sorta brought out the beauty in her. *beamz* singapore didn't even get into the semi-finals. eekz.
ah wellz. anywayz, they had bbmak to perform live there. hahaa. and this italian guy called shiane or shyane or goodness knows how u spell his name. his music is really cool though:)
-it's been a long time...-
*grInz* i've been terribly busy. busy with quite fun stuff. shopping is fun, if u get my drift.
oh gosh, haven't updated for four days. can't really remember anything to talk about. ah wellz.
ehz well. miss phua wants the previous 6A people to go back to poi ching and sign on a brick...'cos the school's officially moving, so they're going to move the brick to the new campus to signify our batch or something. *hahaha* and yvonne's organising a gathering... we wanted hui shan and yonglai to organise it at first, but since these two have poofed to goodness knows where, yvonne's organising it herself. it may just end up as another bbq at east coast. wonder if it'll be the same pit. *boggles*
oooh yeah. here's a pun-y(pun intended. puny/pun-y yeah??) joke:
One day two strings walk into a bar. The first string orders, but the bartender throws him out, yelling "I don't serve strings in this bar!" The other string tries to look tougher and bigger by twisting and puffing up, then marches up to the bar, and orders a drink. The bartender shouts, "Didn't you hear what I told your buddy?"
"Yeah." The string says.
"Well, aren't you a string?" the bartender asks.
The string says, "No, I'm a frayed knot." (afraid not. *gringringrin* geddit?)
ah wellz. i bought a cross-stitch kit. turns out that the completed thing will be as small as the picture in front. so sad.

Take the What Color Dragon Should You Ride? Quiz

Made By: myway and teza

I WAS A SWEET CHILD
you're parents were lucky with you. you're sweet.
innocent. helpful. and cute.
what kind of child were you?
(brought you by april)

me? sweet? ehz. hmmz.
i like the angel cursor. not changing it.
went to huiyuan's house today:)
nice house, nice room, nice brother, nice mother, nice food, nice scenary.
too far away though.
played badminton. jits' good at it:)
my right hand has no energy to type all these out. *heh*
oh yeah! we played mahjong too:) *beamz* huiyuan's brother won the most chips though. sadness.
and we had jenga. with a dare for the person who knocks it down. huiyuan the lucky chap (chapess) managed to escape without doing any dares. but then we only had three games. ah wellz.
her mum cooks nice food:) we had delicious fish and chips.
yeah i forgot to mention.
finished reading 'the ransom of mercy carter' by caroline b cooney. (what can i say? i finished all of her books. *grInz*:)
it was based on a true story. truely amazing, relatively interesting. it's about this girl called mercy carter who was living at the border of where the french and the english and fighting against each other. the red indians are the french's alies...and one day these red indians came to their village and salvaged their village. they're originally viewed as savages by all of the english.
after the salvage, the red indians killed some people, scalped some (scalping. ehz. using a knife to dig away the whole section of hair at the back of ur skull? with the skin and flesh and what nots. yeah. scalping. sounds horrendous. truely brutal), and marched 100 over children and adults for 400 miles all the way to france. or something similar.
anywayz, it comes to a turn when the mercy realised that the indians aren't too bad afterall, and that she grew to their ways, and respected them. the indian who found them at the village was surprisingly nice for a red indian...and he was kind to mercy all the way thoughout the march to france. he even gave mercy the indian name of monnonock which means lonely star. there was a nice meaning to why he called her lonely star. read it yourself.
throughout the story, mercy had to remind herself of her own identity, that she's a puritan (*cough*. setting. 1700s) and of her 'english' family. she had to grapple with the internal turmoil within herself when in a new place, whereby the people are catholic. and she's living on the grounds of her family's enemies. according to them, catholics are evil and will go to hell or something. ah wellz.
anywayz, she grew to respect them. it's quite touching the way the red indians came to accept her, even with the red indian who found her calling her 'daughter'. and in the end, she actually forgoed ransom. (ransom being the people in her original country paying for her return) and stayed as with the red indians. marrying one in the end.
yeah.
everything based on a true event.
caroline b cooney said in the last page
'i believe Mercy chose to stay in Kahnawake because of love'.
i think i agree with her.
oooh.
finished downloading 'i thought she knew'. first acapella i truely fell in love with. very nice:):):)
or maybe that's 'cos i don't usually come in contact with acapellas. hehehe:)
going to huiyuan's house later:) 'cos jitsy's bored and i'm bored and huiyuan's a mild bored and poor huiyuan now has to offer her house for two bored people to become unbored, which i think is rather unlikely:) *grInz*:)

isobel's dream does sound like a fairy tale story. ah wellz.
aardwolf cheers me up:) *beamz* i'm 200 k richer 'cos of the v1 aardscrabble tile i've got from killing a mob. *lol* and then i had a trivia bonus mob. then global quest came on:) maybe the heavens above took pity on me. *heh*

another innocent girl suffers 'cos of prejudice from family and society.
she slit her wrists too.
and her mum complained that she made a bloody mess on the carpet. what the hell.
people just don't seem to realise that the world is harder on homosexual or bisexual people.
especially when u're in singapore. hello! there're still like more than 3/4 of the population out there shunning these people.
and it's not as if they chose it. CHOSE IT MY FOOT. would you choose a hard path voluntarily?
i despise people with such blind spots. who don't see how we're all the same. everyone in the world.
O weary, weary is this world.
-somehow somewhere i've got to choose
no matter if it's win or lose-
couldn't sleep last night...went to bed at 12.45am after reading ...then kept tossing and turning... and more tossing and turning. the time that i finally fell asleep was sometime after my dad's alarm rang (at 4am) . *growls* and i faintly remember that ej's waking up at 4+. how fun.
i was just thinking...it's easy to have crushes and all that. and fantasize about stuff (clean thoughts *cough*) and yearn for the person, hoping that by chance, the person will like you back or something. it's another thing to actually get into a relationship, to actually find out that the person u had a crush on likes u afterall. the thought is scary. 'cos you don't know what to do. there's no like 'guide for what to do in a relationship'...u have no preparation for what's coming...it's a whole new territory. kinda like one being lost in a marshland.
and i do wish people won't joke about such stuff. it'll make the already confusing world much simpler:)
-you don't know 'cos things ain't clear-

ahz. so sad. it says publishing is temporarily unavailable.
ah wellz. i wanted to say hi linda! but i guess she won't see it now anyway:) *grInz*
went to the library today with nina...met jits for lunch. she decided to go home anyway. *bonkz jitsy*
read a couple of really nonsensical books. for goodness sake, how sensible can the books get with titles like "mates, dates and inflatable bras", or "mates, dates and sleepovers"? ah wellz. at least it was really amusing:) *lol* something i got from the book:
Confucious says: Man with no garden looks forlorn. (for lawn, geddit?)
read a nice book titled "What child is this" by Caroline B. Cooney. quite sad. quite happy. full of christmas cheer and spirit. good humour and innocent thoughts. it kinda swayed my beliefs once again though. things to grapple with. i'm putting those aside for a while.
just finished another nice book:) 'things not seen' by Andrew Clements. seriously speaking, i borrowed the book 'cos the front cover looks nice. turns out to be a really soul-catching book as wellz:) innocent thoughts once more. brings out stuff rather plainly though. the whole idea reminds me of something so beautiful and fragile. something that u can gently touch and the touch will be smooth and soft. like baby's skin. a harder pressure would cause it to burst though:)
i have the feeling i should be cleaning up my hotmail inbox one day...*heh* the read e-mails staying in there use up 57% of the entire 2.0 mb space. ah wellz:)
OOH. yy's on late. and linda. and kevin. and zhuang hui. and four of my old classmates. no wonder i never see them online in the morning. or maybe i come on too late in the morning. it is now. 12.56am. tuesday morning *grInz*
went shopping! bought shorts i would NEVER have bought if i'm with my mum. my money flew away. in the end my mum the former seamstress happily told me she can buy the material and make shorts for me. *boggles* nevermind. and IKEA was a great place to be in. wonderful place:) *hahaha* though i did only recognise the place as the place where i once ate dinner with weezi's family 'cos it's after research for CHAOS or something similar, at the check-out counter. *hehe*
-the lessons that u taught me
i learnt were never true-
ooh. the stupid ketchup song is playing. must admit it's quite catchy though:) it doesn't get onto ur mind if u only listen to it on radio...but after having it played at grad night. *coughcough* it hooked my like a child to a candy:) *lol*

doesn't sound too bad. hahahaah:)

I am the Charmer

Charm is seduction without sex. Charmers are consummate manipulators, masking their cleverness by creating a mood of pleasure and comfort. Their method is simple; they deflect attention from themselves and focus it on their target. They understand your spirit, feel your pain, adapt to your moods. In the presence of a Charmer you feel better about yourself. Learn to cast the Charmer's spell by aiming at people's primary weaknesses: vanity and self-esteem.

Symbol: The Mirror. Your spirit holds a mirror up to others. When they see you they see themselves: their values, their tastes, even their flaws. Their lifelong love affair with their own image is comfortable and hypnotic; so feed it. No one ever sees what is behind the mirror.


What Type of Seducer are You?

-now i'm watching wrestling
trying to be a tough guy
listening to rap metal
turn tables in my eyes-
downloading icq again...'cos the 2002a version still doesn't seem to work...and i thought: it's time to change to a new version anyway. so i'm downloading the 2003a version. hahhaa:)
the last episode of 'ambulance' was quite interesting:) every time after the show, they'll have a help file on some kind of illness and what-nots...like what to do when the person has an asthma attack, or frost bite, or food poisoning... stuff like that. today, they had a help file for what to do when someone has just fallen out of love. *hahaha* surprised me rather:)
but it's rather saddening to see it end...was quite a nice show, for a jap drama:) no stupid plots around. ah wellz.
oh yeah. i forgot to mention...my hurting middle toes for both feet bled. yesterday night and today morning for the left middle toe and the right middle toe consecutively. it was a plasma sort of bleeding, little red substance, very watery. more plasma than red blood cells. my poor toes. i bet it was 'cos of shopping around in new boots on wednesday. ah wellz:)
one good thing though, they no longer looked bruisy. and dun hurt anymore. *grInz*
ho-humm.
in the end my own downloaded version couldn't work. the stupidity of it all. i've gotta use the version weezi sent to me. ah wellz:) i can play bomberman on my comp now. hahaha:) if u set all 5 players to bombercom, it's quite amusing. they keep having draws...
oooh. i'm so bored at home i wish i have school. hehehe
ah wellz. nevermind about it now. no inspiration. some just went "how come my level 100+ potions all have stars on it arh?" on aard.*boggles*
reread 'bring in the spring' by hannah cole yesterday. never realised noticed the stuff mentioned inside until yesterday. references to down's syndrome and physically disabled children...main character's a girl called sarah who's actually very intelligent, but because of the fact that she can't really control her muscles, she can't really control her movements and speech...thereby causing people to think that she's really stupid...just a baby who makes awful noises or something similar to that...until this teenage volunteer Bel came into her life. ah wellz.
and apparently, sheila's serious about making the tape of weilin. *hahaha* so amusing.
sam suggests another movie outing so that i can pass my autograph book to her. i dunno if i'm going to watch LOTR. ah. the troublesomeness of it all:)
