ehh shout-outs to those people on my tagboard.
hui zhen: where's my shout-out! hahaha.
joshua: it's been so damn long since that shout-out! it is actually a bit amusing to re-read my entries because since that last shout-out, you've learnt to suan people like crazy but still remain as blur. xP and yes, i know that line that appears when you try to copy and paste from my blog is damn cool. for those of you who still don't know how my blog works, try copying something from my blog and pasting it somewhere else and you'll see what i mean by cool. hahaha.
xuewei: any discerning person can see that this blog is far from bimboland. but yes, i'm thinking about revamping my blog and i kind of can't remember how the "take me" "touch me" "hold me close" came to be on my tagboard. ^^"
hui min: hello! haha is that you or someone else? why's the word before "min" censored? tsk tsk. hehe.
ye wei: a bit paiseh. sorry if you all have been waiting for an update. you haven't been blogging for some time either! update your blog!
~end of shout-outs~
ok i simply cannot resist this. HELLO GRACE I UPDATED! xD
anyway, i think i really need to re-design the blog. most of the links are kind of stale too.
today is national day! had our national day celebrations on tuesday night. turned out to be kind of a cool idea, because that's the first time the whole school stayed back until so late, and it was quite fun. like take 5.
so anyway, after school on tuesday, we were deciding where to spend the afternoon before coming back for national day celebrations. at first, i suggested going to watch the simpsons and hui min and joshua were all for it. but then chin yang was devastated because he wanted the class to go to his house, so in the end they went. only me and hui zhen and grace refused to go, so we started thinking of what to do for the rest of the afternoon. couldn't go pool because we were in uniform. didn't go walk around orchard because hui zhen say too far away. didn't go play volleyball because i didn't want to. couldn't go ride on hui zhen's friend's bike because he could only come at 5.30. in the end, grace remembered that you can watch movie for only 5 bucks at eng wah jubilee, so we checked timing for the simpsons and just decided to go for the 4.00 show.
we still had some time to stone, so we went to the art room to watch hui zhen make her mask for art class. oh, i was telling grace about the cheesy pick-up line: you make my software turn into hardware. and then hui zhen went to add another line to it: i want to install my program in you. which is totally sick, but you have to agree it's quite smart! (=
then after that when we set off for eng wah jubilee, we dragged hui zhen's art friend along too. when we got there, we found out the 5 bucks only applied to shows before noon, and tickets after 12pm cost $6.50. \= it's still very worth it if you're watching the show for the first time, but hui zhen and her friend already watched the simpsons before and they didn't wanna waste so much money for a show they'd already seen, so they went to play pool and only me and grace watched. omg simpsons was damn funny! i so have to watch it again. and it isn't only like retarded no-brains funny. there were some spoofs and references too.
haha then after we got back to school, hui min was kind of regretting not going with us because we arrived back quite early. the "believe it or not" booths were almost closing already though, so i didn't get to try. \= we got food from the stalls and ate a bit, then it was time to move to the stadium for the national day concert.
we were lucky enough to spot a space on the track right in front of the field, so we squeezed in there and sat down. which was really great! because we were almost right in front of the stage and got the full effects. and i don't care if it's corny, i still enjoy cheering and waving mini flags and singing national day songs with friends during national day celebrations. celebrations are funner at night too.
oh oh, and wen jun was seriously priceless as mr. singapore. he was like, "i love MR! but i love all of you too! i love RJC! i love Singapore!" something along those lines. he was totally being himself. but anyway, BW tied with BB for the house champion in the end! xD
it's a bit sad because this will probably be the last big celebration in the school for this year. there will be celebrations for teacher's day too, but most likely not as big because promos are coming.
then yesterday i went for dance prac in the morning. it sucked having to wake up so early on a school holiday, but prac was quite fun and besides i got a bit of a workout from it. after that i went kbox! haven't gone for a long time. dunno why yesterday kbox suddenly decided to extend klunch for 1 more hour, until 3pm. so it was me and xuewei and dawn at klunch and we started spamming past year national day songs and jay chou songs and jj lin songs. joey came for a while then left early.
normally when we go for klunch, after our time is up, we'll stay and continue singing for half an hour more before our conscience gets the better of us. and kbox usually won't chase us out unless they really need the room for the next customer. but yesterday, at exactly 3pm, we couldn't play any more songs that we wanted! we were like wth, because there were still a few songs we wanted to sing. so we decided to just stay and continue singing the songs left on the list that we ordered. FROM MEMORY.WITHOUT ANY MUSIC. hahaha which was super retarded and crazy, but i mean, this is us i'm talking about! xuewei and dawn and me. if anna could make it for klunch, she would have been as crazy as us too. haha omg i really love my friends.
so yea we started singing songs from memory, but though we are intelligent people, we obviously couldn't remember all the lyrics to songs we haven't sung for ages, so there were a lot of parts where we just went "du du du da da da". thank goodness no one heard us. after we had gone through the songs on the list, we went on to singing past year national day songs that we weren't able to find on the kbox list of songs, like "one singapore" and "we are singapore". hehehe even crazier. then in our final act of reluctance to get our butts off the sofa in the kbox room, we turned up the microphone volumes and pressed xuewei's mp3 earpieces to the mike so we could all hear the songs on her mp3 and sing along with it.
that's about it for this week. a lot of stuff happened since my last entry. there was umm a class gathering. ^^" dunno if you can call it a class thing since only like 6 or 7 turned up. sort of a celebration after common tests. then the jap girls came on an exchange program. there was a really pretty one called sumire, who was jon yee's guest, so people were asking him "so, how was last night after sumire arrived?" and then he was like "oooh, very fun." then during a math tutorial, ms wang asked desmond, "desmond, your guest looks very tired. what did you do last night?" and the whole class started oohing and ahhing.
oh, and we went to queue overnight for harry potter at borders! me, xuewei, benjamin, dawn, ge, li ping, elena, yihui. chin yang came to queue with us but didn't buy the book. we were like way in front, among the first 20. hahaha i'll just try to recount some dialogues and situations when we were queueing.
[Dialogue 1]
while me and xuewei were queueing, chin yang was buying dinner for us, so i asked him to help me buy lip gloss as well. communicated with him by phone to tell him where and how to buy it.
me: it's at wisma atria, basement 1.
chin yang: what's the shop's name?
me: Sasa.
chin yang: what the hell is that?!?!
me: it's spelt S-A-S-A.
chin yang: what kind of a shop name is that? never heard before. ok i'll just walk around basement 1 and call out the names of the shops as i pass them. blah blah blah forever 21.
me: ok you're at forever 21 now right? and there's a breadtalk beside you right? it's on the other side of breadtalk.
chin yang: ok i go round to the other side. blah blah blah the face shop blah blah blah. there's no Sasa.
me: huh? cannot be! wait i check my card. omg it's at level 1!!!
chin yang: lalala.
me: hehe sorry can you go up 1 level and find it?
chin yang: ok i see the shop. what are you looking for?
me: the brand of this lip gloss is called SPLASH.
chin yang: huh?! what's that? FLASH?
me: S-P-L-A-S-H. you know, as in, "splash of water".
chin yang: err...
me: go ask the salesgirl.
salesgirl: you're looking for L.A SPLASH is it? (leads chin yang to the SPLASH products)
me: ok now that you're at the SPLASH products, here's the important thing. you see the stuff in tubes? there are 2 types of products with that packaging. one is called LID SPLASH. L-I-D. that's for the eyes. i'm looking for the ones called LIP SPLASH. L-I-P.
chin yang: uhh the one i'm holding right now says LID SPLASH. i dunno where's the lip one.
so the salesgirl helps him to search.
chin yang: ok i found the lip products already. what colour?
me: the silvery one.
chin yang: huh? they all look silvery to me!
me: ok uhh pick up the one that looks the most silvery to you and read out the name to me.
chin yang: coral mermaid thingum.
me: no, that's not silvery. that's like pink. pick up the one that's obviously silver.
chin yang: sparkling crystallina. why do they have such disgusting names?
me: i think that's the one. does the colour look greyish?
chin yang: uhh i think so.
me: check again. does it say LIP and not LID?
chin yang: yes. you better be sure horr. this thing costs $14.90.
[/Dialogue 1]
fortunately, he bought the correct lip gloss in the end.
[Dialogue 2]
i was returning back to borders after walking round orchard with benjamin. only dawn and yihui were there.
me: where did xuewei and the others go?
dawn: ehh they went off to angst! -smiles-
me: HUH?!?! since when were they the type to angst?!
dawn: ehh since the day they were born! -smilesmorehappily-
