from the freezer

HOHOHOHOHOHO! nono not merry christmas, but everyone follow the following instructions and you will find a very happy person.
1) plaster a smile on your face
2) raise your right hand
3) raise your left hand
4) turn and face the general direction of china [or make believe that you're facing that direction]
5) WAVE!

i'll be receiving them waves shortly so thankyouthankyou. :) you never miss home so much until you';re away from home. i miss everything so so so much. this could be like some weepy post but OH NO no way it's horrid to be weepy in the morning. uh-uh. so anyway, here's some really gross updates on the food here.

the food is really quite cannot make it one. and cannot really figure out what it is inside. so it's like some guess-and-guess-and-hmmm-close-eyes-and-eat-and-try-to-prevent-your-face-from-screwing-up game. i took some really gross pictures of food. so aha when i get back get ready for fear factor picture [china special]. :)

it's really cold here and the sun sets really early so >< i don't like the dark. but i look like a dumpling here. all squishy and flappy and swaddled up and my coat is like ORANGE :) so i look kind of like a siew mai if you squint a little. we all look like siew mais and random bundled up frosties compared to all the students here. they are POWER! they don't even need to wear extra extra layers like us and they even eat ICE CREAM! in such coldness. brrr.

think of pris and me okay all you avid readers! it's such a long post so you better appreciate this! typing while you fingers can hardly feel the keyboard isn't exaclt something that one does for fun you know. :)

ok, bye then! tata!

tasting your smile; missing your warmth

haven't blogged for ages, so many apologies for the few faithful fans who have been waiting in anticipation for this entry. well i don't intend for this entry to be long, but having had to fulfil my duty as a co-owner, i can't bear to see this blog die out before it's one month anniversary.

i do agree with jo's previous entry, kind of meaningful and thoughtful lar, although abit short. oh well, i guess this is just teenage woes and at-times-seemingly-foolish worries, but well we're still only slightly more than a decade old, so how mature do u think we can be? liking someone is so confusing, u sometimes do wish it doesn't exist, but if it doesn't exist, u wouldn't ever experience that sweet feeling. haiz nvm it's just going in circles.

haha countdown to my departure: 3 days time!! haha can't wait to go, but i guess i'll be super homesick too. i shall miss my comfortable bed, singapore food, singapore weather, and EVERYONE! haha must miss me too hor. shan't blog until hmm one month later. bon voyage!

umph

i don't know why i'm even posting. it's quite horrid to like someone. oh whatever, i know, I KNOW it's very teenagey-angst-lovey-thingo but it's not just horrid. it's sad too. and sometimes all you want to do is just shout it all out and spend ages just smiling oh heck who knows. maybe if i smile hard enough-

blogger has reaaally gone bonkers

I PROFESS, I.HATE.BLOGGER. the horrid system ate up my post which i NICELY took a prety long time [of about 20 minutes, but you needn't know that] to type out. and it ATE IT UP NOT ONCE BUT TWICE! now you see why it is in the most understandable way, for the state of my post to be so rant-like. if it eats it up just ONE MORE TIME[!] i shall hereby go on a blogger strike and show this horrid system not to mess with all my posts. so there. and we shall see then.

--------------------------
it DID eat my posts up. so i just recovered it again. hopefully, it's still hale and hearty. i'm going to start typing out my posts in like word and sending them to pris. what a wonderful friend blogger is. oh and just got back from chalet. i'm really bushed. post more later. and anyway it was nicely fun. =)

showing my face at long last

i feel super injustified (if there's such a word) lor... how come everyone seem to be targeting at ME this never-show-the-face-lazy co-owner of the blog. I don't post very regularly meh? oh well.. less entries means less crap right? (oops.. didn't mean to offend the OTHER co-owner) *ouch* my arms are killing me lar, the right hand because of stupid ribbony dance prac and left hand cos of the yucky flu vaccine jab, first it felt super painful (super sour lar, if u can taste pain) then now it feels numb. let me declare here: I HATE INJECTIONS!!! eeww. i told you all my entries are crap lar, so less entries less crap! haha this should be my motto for the blog. anyway, had cca sec 4 farewell last nite at my friend's house. wah.. i tell u ar, her house is SUPER SUPER nice and big lar... got a humongous (the spelling looks wrong) swimming pool, wonderfully furnished living room and the spiral staircase is like those palace- kind lar.. oh yar, she even has a golden retriever! wah... am i jealous or am i jealous.

okay back to my philosophical time, hmm or rather this entry shall be some kind of story-telling session. if you already feel like dozing off, don't bother reading this, it's just random burst of ideas as usual. Before i start the erm ingenious story (haha self praise lar), reminder that any resemblance to real life characters is PURELY coincidential blah blah..

here it goes: let's say A (girl) and B (boy) have always been friends, the normal kind lar, JUST friends. then ONE day, A discovers that she's interested in B!!! but if she tells B her feelings, she's afraid that that might repel B so they would not be able to be even friends in the future. but if she keeps inside, it'll be just very sad cos it seems that B is kind of love sick too. A has NO idea who B might be liking (if he likes someone to start with) so everything is just purely guess work. now, if B does like someone, and it turns out that he secretly likes A, but he decides to keep quiet too, thinking that revealing his feelings would ruin the friendship between them. in the end, both sides decide to keep quiet, thinking that the other is in love with someone else, or being afraid of rejection, so all these stuff just turns out to be nothing. don't u think this is something very lament-able and sad? it seems as if fate is playing A and B in its hands the whole time... haiz... if you think this story is very lame, dont' blame me, i don't exactly have a very imaginative mind.. hmm.. it doesn't sound like me to talk about all these eewwy and erm.. lovey-dovey stuff lar, but as i said, it's just pure imagination. so don't come hammering after me if this sounds familiar, and yar, this has NOTHING to do with me. i'm an innocent party (full stop)

wah.. i feel super proud of myself lar. this must have been the LONGEST entry i've written. shall come up with nicer stories the next time. happy hols!

what a nice date today is... 3/11/2005! CELEBRATE today people! it's 311's second birthday! like 11/3 and 3/11! ok this IS brainless i just wanted to post because of the date.

hmmm

anyway, i really think what pox said is true. and i don't deny it myself either, i DO wear a mask and it's terribly painful to take it off infront of those i don't really know well. but maybe this entire mask thing is not all the bad things that everyone makes it out to be. cause don't you think it's worse many times over if everyone could see every single side of you just like that. like EVERYTHING [read: e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.] is just laid out for the whole world to examine, to pick at, to know. there won't be much value in having really close friends anymore. there would hardly be any worth in developing a real friendship and udnerstanding people would there? maybe it's just me, but i like people having different depths, and different levels to which you understand them. like at every level you know more and can relate more and just share something special with someone just because of the level of understanding present.

well, this arguably is not the most well-thought out perspective. like maybe when people don't hide behind their masks daily, there won't ever be faux friends and all. but then again there is always a risk to everything, for what's life without an edge? :)

anyway, HAPPY THREE ELEVEN DAY! and all eleveners, pleasepleaseplease bring your overseas form and rags tmr[if this isn't too late], under the orders of the chair and table. :) but all your SRC i/cs will be calling you anyway. yup. alright then TATA!
