I finally had my first experience bailing someone out of jail. LOL. Ok ok, not me. Rather, it was my mummy. But what the heck. I was there.
PSA:
Don't drink and drive.
Nice one, Dr Obvious.
I don't see how people can be so dumb. I know alcohol makes you behave like a lunatic but who actually drives to a bar and makes the decision "Oh. I shall have a drink!" -.-
In this case, the guy was supposed to go to work but decided at the last minute not to and takes a U-turn to some pub for beer. When his colleagues start calling, he drives to work(night shift) and finds himself involved in a fender-bender, gets caught by the traffic police with a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit.
That man is really something huh.
And what's the first thing he does after he gets bailed out?
He takes a smoke.
What stupidity.
I was supposed to look for my new frame but instead... That happens.
I shall go frame-shopping. Not photo frame, just in case you were wondering. Specs. (:
I will try my best to not get a purple one. But if you ask me, purple is a very nice colour for frames. It's not bright, it's not dark. Tanned people shouldn't wear too dark a shade or risk looking even darker. And since my skin isn't exactly snow white, well... Purple fits me. But then again, everything is purple! During the exams, I realised the stripes on my Adidas jacket is purple, my pencil case is hot pink(almost like purple!), my bottle is purple and of course my specs(it's the bloody same colour as my bottle). No wonder people think I'm some purple freak. Ah! It's ok. Not many people can carry off the colour. HAHA.
I went to my aunty's house to play squash just now. I've never played like that before. I don't remember running around that much with the other girls. Guess my aunty is better. Until my uncle came saying, "Let's give Madelene some competition." Crap. If I thought I ran a lot before, this was like running 100m sprints over and over again. It was hell. My uncle was like "no mercy!" After more than an hour of non-stop squash-ing, I wanted to jump straight into the pool to swim and cool myself down. The water sure looked nice and cold. I couldn't of course. Busy woman. Ha. My mummy gave me $60 worth of vouchers for Minitoons stuff. So I had to go buy completely unnecessary things. I realised after paying that I must like Winnie the Pooh a lot. I used to collect the Winnie the Pooh toys from Mac. They are all chucked into my big drawer now. Open the drawer and you can imagine a cloud of dust exploding in your face. I haven't opened it in a long time now. I don't really care anymore. You can just throw them away. So many things have just lost their value over the years.
But of course there are things which remain priceless. "Touch them and you're dead" kinda precious. I think everyone has their own little things that they never wanna throw away for some reason, whatever the reason may be. It may be stupid. Sometimes I think I'm holding on to nothing. I wonder whether sweet memories will always be just that.
I really do wish I could turn back time. So many things I would've done so differently. But then again, I wouldn't be who I am today if not for those times I made the wrong choices.
And that's enough for me.
Ah! House is on. Gotta get my dose of Hugh Laurie now.
Shall comment on my Spain's marvellous victory soon!
Espanyol forever (:

Saturday, June 28, 2008
Go on... Make my day.
The thought of SSP is really wonderful. Oh yes. HAHA.
I'm sure I'll have to go. I mean, the closest to a pass I can get is for econs.
Oh well. I told myself I will have no regrets. So I won't. No use crying over spilled milk. I WILL DO BETTER. This is the way I psycho myself to achieve. It's worked before, and it will work again. My faith is strong! :D Until then, it's out with the old and in with the new. Nerdyworld, here I come! As Kenny said, I am the master geek after all. :) May the force be with you. HA! Star Wars. Love it.
Let me chronicle the exam week. I left my house at 615 everyday when traffic is, you may say, non-existent. And mummy keeps turning into KAP's Mac. Seriously, fast food will clog up my arteries and add another thick layer of blubber on my already expanding thighs! LOL. I exaggerated that but... Everyone, please stop eating too much deep-fried goodness. It kills. Watch Supersize Me and you will understand.
When I reach school, I am quite literally the first few in the hall. So I catch up on last minute memorising, which I suck at. Looking back at the O levels, I really don't understand how I managed to memorise those History essays on Pacific War and USSR stuff. Memorising gets you no where! I memorised the wrong SS topic. Wasted my precious time! But still, A1 baby! That's the sheer genius of me. LOL. Full of nonsense, able to deduce or make up my own factors. YEAH. Actually, I think I can write a lot of nonsense. Forever writing nonsense. Sometimes no link also but still I write. To the point of hua she tian zu also. LOL. I don't know if I used that properly but whatever. Give me props for trying. AH! Chinese oral on Tuesday. MUMMY! I'm gonna make a fool out of myself. CRAP.
The badminton hall is freaking cold. And because the papers are so FON, I keep drinking water. Otherwise, I'll just be staring blankly at the paper or spinning my pen. Drink water= need for the ladies'. I hate the air con. We shouldn't be using it anyway. Killing the planet. Poor planet Earth. Tsk.
First day GP and MT. I can't believe I finished my AQ. So surprising. But my summary is screwed up. I think I used too much of my own words until it looks nothing like what the passage was talking about already. HA! And Chinese. That's the most horrible 3 hours of my life. Let's see, I spend hell of a lot of time reading just one passage and yet I understand less than 50% of what is said? Then the compo was what is considered a "xing fu mei man and sheng huo". Money, friends, family, health, good job? That was the easiest question. I finished in 45 minutes cos my train of thoughts was disrupted by the freezing environment and the immense urge to relieve myself. LOL.
Day 2: What a killer day. Math and chemistry. Enough said.
Day3: Econs. Haha. I hardly studied for it. How do you study for econs?! Enlighten me. Thankfully I have been reading the newspaper everyday so I know what are the factors that affect the prices of food and oil. There's the supply factor. Like the competitive supply blah blah blah. Natural disasters in rice producing countries. Biofuel etc. HAHA. All those hours reading the newspaper finally reaps its benefits!
Day 4: NO PAPER. I set my alarm for 10am. It went off but of course I switched it off and slept another 30min. I spent awhile the night before studying for physics. PHYSICS! Really, I should have taken lit. I'm sure I would do much better at lit. I don't mean to boast, but I really do have somewhat of the flair for it. HAHA. What a joke... At about 9pm, I just started reading the final chapter which is Work, energy, power. Then I realised... It's really nothing like O levels syllabus. HA! Room 5.12 said we studied before. No offence, but I don't think so ma'am.
Day 5: I was walking to my death. I didn't give up. More like, I know I can't pass physics for nuts. At least not this time. And considering the teacher. SIGH! It's disappointing. Yet, I didn't give up. At least I studied and learned more than what the teacher taught me. I studied all the way to "hell's" gate. LOL. I finally remembered what Newton's law states. But it didn't come out. This paper I finished in 40min cos there are blanks everywhere! NEVER MIND! Let's not talk about it anymore.
After the paper, I waited alone at the station for Nat for half an hour or something? Listening to my new songs. I really like "Us Against the World". It's damn nice. Haha. Can't I like boyband songs? They have all the cheesy love songs. But still... Two thumbs up. Oh then Arthas (I dunno how to spell his name) joined me for a minute. I think he's quite nice lor (what do you have to say about that, Kenny?). But I prefer to call him Ho Shiun. Anyway, I think he's quite blind. I look better in primary school? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! And sorry... But I forgot that you were in 5/9 also. I thought you were in 5/10. Haha. He seemed quite shocked that I forgot. I just remember that he was like the fastest sprinter in school or something like that. Smart and athletic. Wah. Singing his praises. I better stop it.
We went to Marina Square to look for Alicia's present. We lied to her, saying that we're going home to change. She called me while I was there and I said I was at home! HAHA. This is called, karma. What goes around comes around. Anyway, Nat. You are a lousy liar. But thankfully, Alicia didn't spot all the loopholes. And I loved the double berry ice cream. AH! I need to exercise. We ate at Shokudo or something like that. Ha. Then we watched Driving Lessons. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting beside Marcus! HAHA. Do I sound like some perv? I don't care. He just smells so good. Man, you smell good. All guys should smell like that. The world would be a better place cos all B.O will be gone. Ok, I am a bit crazy. Or rather, mad, now. Only now. LOL.
The movie is filled with the F bomb. But it's freaking genius. A smart show. I couldn't understand some parts though. Too smart for Singapore audience I think. And there was an exciting part as Kenny pointed out afterwards. Ha! Marcus went to sing at some open mic thing at the Esplanade? I hope it went well! I think his voice can melt the hearts of all girls. Heh...
Then it was farewell. Rushed home cos I needed the toilet again-.- There's really something wrong with me. I know it.
I was damn happy when I heard Spain won Russia. It was in the car just at the traffic light beside school. I hit the dashboard in excitement. HAHA. Insanely happy for them. MUACKS! Spain! I really can't be bothered who wins. I'm torn! Maybe I should just go flip a coin. Spain and Germany have been my favourites since I started watching soccer. I always liked Spain. But they always don't win. Germany always in top 4 at least or what. Spain's the favourite to win. Yeah. I shall support them. Although I'll be asleep. Or maybe I'll be thinking of them then can't sleep. Or like the other day. I woke up at 2 plus. Just when one of their matches was supposed to start. Haiya. David Villa not playing. -.- OH WELL. Go SPAIN! I LOVE SPAIN. *Cheers*
Today something dumb happened. Woke up bright and early for LIFE. Travelled about an hour to Queenstown. CLOSED! What the... So I went back all the way to Woodlands. It was still early so I went to the library alone to read books. Ah. Noisy people. Cannot shut up is it? Really feel like using masking tape to shut their traps. Such a nice book but I couldn't concentrate any longer so I left in an hour. My brother has been bugging me forever to buy KFC for him. So being a very nice, caring, loving sister, I bought it for him. XD
I can't stand it when they look at me. I really do not know them. To think they were just classmates or just a class away in primary school and they are involved in such activities now. Seriously. What's happening with the youths of today?!
Smoking kills.
Don't.
But then again, it's not any of my business. If you wanna kill yourself then whatever.
Here's something I found really motivating and inspirational when Adidas first came up with it. It was brought up again during devotions.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in a world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.
Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion.
Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare.
Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is nothing."
Don't give up on what you believe in.
I'm not...
I'm sure I'll have to go. I mean, the closest to a pass I can get is for econs.
Oh well. I told myself I will have no regrets. So I won't. No use crying over spilled milk. I WILL DO BETTER. This is the way I psycho myself to achieve. It's worked before, and it will work again.

I told ya so =P
WOO!!! Germany! Sorry Justin, but I just gotta rub it in. =P
Next, Spain :)
Come to think of it, a long while back when I was obsessing about Torres, nobody knew who he was. I have the gift of foresight, really. LOL. He rocks~!
I am trying to put the chinese chapters' mp3 file into my mp3 so that I can listen to them at night as I attempt to sleep. This way, it saves me the reading. I have yet to touch chinese and physics. Ah physics. Once again, I WILL FAIL MATH. Once again, my mummy has said it's ok. She knows I'm trying! I've spent 5 hours today on math. I've realised that my differentiation of trigo is "a bit" rusty. Oh well... Never giving up!
In less than a week, it'll all be over.
The countdown begins~

YES!
I'm seriously very satisfied with what I've done the past few days. 6 hours a day studying sure ain't shabby. (:
Everyday, I read the newspaper first and eat my oats. I read too much really. Even the sports section, thanks to Euro 2008. I LOVE MY SPAIN!!! I'd really like them to completely and utterly annihilate Italy. LOL. Can't stand them as a team but I like some players. Hmmm. I'd like to see the Netherlands win. But before that, how I wish Germany would beat Portugal. Ah...
Ok. Enough soccer. I'm just reminding myself how I have no sports channels. -.-
Back to studying math. Although I know it is near impossible to pass(for me), I'm still giving it my all. AH! Math and physics. T.T Why can't they be as interesting as chemistry?!
Persevering...

Study more, sleep less.
This is the end of my sleep-fest. No more 10hour a night slumbers. Anyway, a study said people who sleep between 6-7.5hours a night live the longest. And since I have no plans to die any time soon, I shall sleep less (:
Johnny found a scorpion in his house. WTH.
I finally worked out yesterday. I took a 6km hike yesterday. LOL. Did lunges cos I miss fencing. Earlier yesterday, I went back to BP with Jiajuan, Derek, Meijin, Yiyao and James Kong. James' legs still as sexy as ever HAHA. James Wong's leg still hairy-er than ever =X
We were wondering why some of the juniors' thighs are so flabby. Everytime they step back it's like *wobble*. Some of their hamstring so puny, like wth. Please tell me why mine is so big for a small lady like me.
We are not allowed to wear slippers into BP. Yiyao complained that AJC also doesn't allow. He said "I'm wearing slippers means I'm going to bomb the school ar?". So true (:
And isn't alumni the same as ex-students? Please enlighten me.
Yiyao wanted to go to New York New York to eat and ended up treating all 6 of us voluntarily. Goodness. Where did you get all that cash from? I've been using my angbao money to survive this holiday. How the hell am I supposed to buy my asics now?!?!?!
Today went to Mee Mee. LOL. My degree only went up by 25 for my left eye, right remains constant, though my astig got worse for both eyes. Ate at Wishbone. The place is freaking old already. It is so reminiscent of the 80s. Ha. Like I know how the 80s were.
Reading my previous post, I really feel like laughing at myself. I really don't know why I upset myself over no reason all the time. It's really a waste of my time. I can be happy any day or any moment that I fancy. The fact is life has been great. It's just that we never appreciate it. We only notice things when they turn sour. It's safe to say, I've never been better. It's better to be contented. I've chosen. I'm going to be ok no matter what cos I have things that will always be with me, the things that really matter. (:
Yeah! Time to study man. Keeping the visits online to the minimum. Jiayou everyone! Do your best. (: And if you need it, here's a prayer. This very prayer helped me through the O levels. From my mini prayerbook that I carry around with me. I hope you find it useful too.
Prayer of a student
Lord Jesus, you are the Way, the Truth and the Life. May I find your truth in the books and sciences that I study every day. Many times I hear confusing voices in my studies. Send your Spirit to guide me and to make clear your ideas, your doctrines and your truth, that I may firmly believe in them. Lord Jesus, you are the way that I must follow. Help me be honest and sincere in my search for the right path and when I find it, enable me to walk along it courageously. Lord Jesus, let me grow in your divine life. Help me share my God-given talents with others so that they may live in your joy and peace. Jesus my friend, you know there is so much fierce competition in schools, colleges and universities. Help me cope with the pressure and tension, but above all, Lord, make me remember that my studies are not for money, power or position. My education must lead me to contribute to a better society where people have opportunities for work, for family life, for peace and justice. Only in this aim of living for others will my education be worthwhile. I ask this Lord, in your name. Amen.
Goodnight (:
When I'm ready to take all that you want me to give, it will be worth the wait.

Time flies by...
One and a half weeks to go and it's the term exams. I'm freaking stressed.
But what the hell am I doing?
NOTHING.
You know those moments when you feel like ripping your hair out due to frustration? Well, I'm having many of those.
And it doesn't help when I can't go to sleep every night. In the dark, all alone, I just think of all the crap in my life. How things are not going the right way or rather, my way. I guess recently I've just been listening to a lot of music. Can't sleep? Just listen to music until you start to doze off. I've kinda stopped listening to most rock songs cos they really have no meaning to them. Seems like I'm searching for meaning now. Meanings of different things, reasons why. Finding a song you can relate to is really...great. That's exactly what I've been doing. And I've been writing a lot too. How poetic...
I'm extremely distracted nowadays. Even when I'm in front of the TV, my mind is somewhere else. I don't even know why I like to think of such horrible, depressing things. Am I bracing myself for something?
I had a good dream last night, it seemed so real. Well. Like they say, all good things come to an end. I just got a horrible jolt back to reality. Reality being not all your dreams can come true. Two possible reasons are: Firstly, it's fate. Or secondly, you're simply not trying hard enough to make your dreams come true. I prefer to believe in the latter.
But of course, there are some dreams you just let go of. Maybe for the time being or maybe for good.
Yesterday was the Science Center outing for the kids from LIFE. It was really difficult chasing the boy around. I've never seen anyone of his age run so quick in my life. I learned something. Kids will do anything for candy. Luckily I bought some because I had anticipated it.
I had fun though. At least it got my mind off stuff for that brief 3 hours or so.
Been walking a lot recently. Walked about 4km yesterday with my brother. He can't run since he's injured. My mum's not letting me go on runs on my own since that thingy happened. GREAT. I'm definitely not going to run in the morning or the afternoon. I hate the weather. Well at least I get more time to spend with my brother.
There's a PW meeting tomorrow morning and I'm still quite uncertain what I'm supposed to be doing.
So much to do, so little time. And there's no one else to blame but myself.
I'm looking back and wondering why, it took so long to realise.
That nothing's changed, and never will, all these years of standing still.
And still we stay in all this pain, and nothing's gonna make it go away.
I really hope not...
But what the hell am I doing?
NOTHING.
You know those moments when you feel like ripping your hair out due to frustration? Well, I'm having many of those.
And it doesn't help when I can't go to sleep every night. In the dark, all alone, I just think of all the crap in my life. How things are not going the right way or rather, my way. I guess recently I've just been listening to a lot of music. Can't sleep? Just listen to music until you start to doze off.

Prince Caspian
Wednesday-Friday
My cousin, Izabel, stayed over at my place. Now I finally know how it is to share your bed with someone? Sounds wrong. Never mind. Anyways, it was fun having her around for those 2 short days. We re-watched The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It was the perfect opportunity to get my mummy to bring us to watch Prince Caspian (:
Before that as usual -typical mummy- brought us to eat at Crystal Jade again. -.- I'm getting so sick of it. Once again, over-ordered. Once again, I'm to be the slob who eats everything. I found it ridiculously ironic how I said "I'm so full." and continued eating the leftover guilinggao, scraping the bottom of the tiny bowl for anything I might've missed. T.T I can't resist good food.
We went to Courts to get an external harddrive for my brother and I jokingly asked my mummy for a camera and she said...YES. Hohoho! So I got a Sony Cyber Shot 10.1 mega pixel camera. (: This is my first camera. FIRST.
Ah. Ben Barnes a.k.a Prince Caspian. So dreamy. LOL. I don't think any girl would complain watching the movie when there are 3 very...gorgeous characters (: But of course I'm also a fan of the books. The most enjoyable books to read. Captivating. Something really magical about them. I know Prince Caspian is the most "boring" one of the whole series but it's still good. Better than Indiana Jones. I think the best movie I've watched this year is Juno.
On a completely different and random note...I think some ACSi guys are really nice. Ok. 2 of them. They actually asked me via sms how am I cos it's been some time since we've talked. And I think it's really sweet and very thoughtful. Maybe chivalry isn't dead after all.
Last night was the 4p2 BBQ at Hong Wei's house. What a coincidence it was that my aunt's friend's daughter was having a birthday party at the function room merely 30m or less away. May I add a HSM themed party. Kids.
I had fun just sitting around talking to my friends. Haven't seen them in ages. Some of them asked me the same annoying question. Let's just say they are surprised about the answer. I sent Lendl around to take candid shots of people. And Lendl is not a good photographer. HAHA. He is a good friend (: The chicken wings were so damn nice and spicy. The moment they came off the grill I was the first to grab them. And yx commented that I have a big appetite. Yes, I do. (:
AH it was just a nice night. I finally get to distract myself from all the shit.
I'll send you guys the pics soon. (:
Thanks for making my day.
My head and my heart are colliding, chaotic.
Pace of the world, I just wish I could stop it.

It's just emotions taking me over...
Somehow I feel like something bad is gonna happen. Something inevitable. I'll try to stop it.
But I know I just can't...
I'm upset ):
Maybe tomorrow everything will be alright. I don't wanna feel this way. Not now, not ever. AH! It's ok. Life's more than that...
- I watch the walls around me crumble. But it's not like I won't build them up again.

They know Rock n Roll!
The Click Five could not have picked a better time to hold their sell-out concert last night (June 1) at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. School holidays meant that teenyboppers contributed 80% of the crowd, bristling with excited (girlish) chatter. The free-standing area looked like a huge sea of well, kids. I pretty much expected that, but still, it did nothing to improve my impression of The Click Five as a teenybopper pop band.
Until Kyle Patrick opened the show with his deep, powerful vocals, that is. (THE WRITER IS A BIT SLOW!) With steady, strong tones, the show kicked off with "Flipside," one of many catchy ditties in The Click Five's repertoire. Although, what showed off Kyle's impressive vocals were the slower tempo songs. With a slight vibrato to his rich vocals that would make any choir teacher proud, "Empty" sounded like a pitch-perfect studio rendition, except live.
Most pleasantly unexpected was the band's capacity for handling different genres of music. With the change in lead singer (from Eric Dill to Kyle Patrick), the musical direction twisted a little as well. Kyle's vocals possesses an edgier, rock-ish quality which gives the music a different touch, carrying it above the previous pop-punk sounds of The Click Five. As such, there was a delightful fare of genre-blending tracks which included "Addicted to Me," a synth-techno sensation, or "Headlight Disco," a '70s blues-rock dream.
Exuding playful, irrepressible energy, Kyle pretty much had all the screaming girls eating out of his hand (it helps that he's such a gorgeous pretty boy as well). Hysteria was pretty much the order of the day, as two girls were even carried out on stretchers. Quite a rare sight for tame Singapore.
I told ya they ROCK!
I need a healthy dosage of TC5. Especially Kyle (:
FYI: He's much better than Eric.
Till we meet again...
You're making me smile.
I could get used to this. (:

I love TC5!!!
AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm getting more depressed by the minute. I thought I'd be ok with it, but I'm not ok with it, NOT ANYMORE!!!
And Selena got to meet them. Really MEET them. Hug them, take pictures with them, get their autograph, chat them up!!!
Do you sense the jealousy?! Or do you need me to spell it out for you? JEALOUS!
Py!!! Help me get pictures! (: Pretty please?
AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
I don't care. The next time, I will be there. KYLE, wait for me! LOL.
Oh man...
I need to distract myself from the thought of TC5. Let's see...
Ah yesterday, py, zach, dion and I went to watch Indiana Jones. I vaguely remember the prequels being much better. But whatever, it was free! So I feel no pinch. Heh... Tried to escape and remain out of Tiger's view...to no avail. Haha. After the show we plucked up the courage to take a picture with Principal Lee. Wah I think he is really charismatic and really, really...much taller than me! LOL. We took the "RESERVED" tags from the seats and took "mug shots" with them at a secluded area so we wouldn't embarrass ourselves. Dion tried to imitate the Kung Fu Panda stance. Another futile attempt. Haha.
We walked around town. Wheelock, Wisma, Ngee Ann City etc. Actually I was really tired but I didn't wanna say anything =X Cos Zach seemed to be enjoying "shopping" around. And I was hoping and keeping my fingers crossed that my mummy wouldn't call me. Haha.
While waiting for the train, we saw this guy with a shirt that reads "iPot" across his chest. Look slightly lower and you will see the reason. His tummy is really like a pot. POT belly! And he got off at the same stop as py. LOL.
I slept quite early last night cos I was really shag and also because Mao, py and I had a beach date today. Wow. I have to say my sinus really knows how to pick days to come on. I was sneezing every few seconds and couldn't go back to sleep. And you know how sneezing drains your energy. AHHH!!! I walked all the way to the MRT station in the cool, morning sun and then...OH TURD! I forgot my wallet -.- I can't live without my wallet! No wallet means no money, which means no food which means end of the world. I must have my food! So I walked all the way back home to get it under the no longer cool, morning sun. My brother was supposed to meet me halfway but he sent my grandma instead (tsk!) and she only made it to under my block. So I really went all the way back just to retrieve it. Great.
It started raining while on the train. And I was wondering whether Sentosa would be too. I prayed for good weather last night and yes! Good weather was what we got. Maybe too good? It was really blazing. But I have my moisturizing and water resistant SPF30 Nivea sunblock so I wouldn't get a sunburn instead of a suntan. Smart, I am. Wore my Mini Cooper shades. Haha! I think I look damn good in it. I know my face is small but big shades flatter my face shape ok (:
As Mao and I went to get a cold drink when it got a bit too hot to handle(double meaning haha), the clouds slowly started inching its way towards our spot and by the time we got back it started to drizzle. We made our way via tram to the shower. Mao was very entertaining. She reacts vigorously with cold water? Haha. Seems like I'm the only one who bathes in cold water all the time. Cos I see no point of warm/hot water. You shower and you sweat after you get out of the shower? Or maybe it's just me and my active sweat glands again?
We realised something. I'm much tanner than Mao and py. Haha. When we compare our legs the difference is so distinct. It's like a reverse oreo! OMG my leg is so black! Ok not black, tanned.
All 3 of us dropped at Woodlands and wow! What a coincidence. We bumped into Carlyn, Rui Yan and Huilin and later on Dion and his girl. Looked around for a nice backpack. I still think the Nike is nice. Second's the Eastpak. Oh yes. And I need another bottle. ANY CLUE WHY?
ANGRY!
I feel awfully hungry now. I ate at Subway(yummy!) today, ate some cookies, one chocolate sundae from Mac. Is that all?! Crap. No wonder...
I need new songs with good lyrics. Any recommendations?
~ Baby,if you knew I cared...
