Today, I subjected myself to what is the bane of all women.
Waxing.
It was terribly horrible! It was painful and ghastly. And women shouldn’t have to do it – I mean, why bother, when its not what’s outside that matters, but what’s inside??
Yes well. Its good to be idealistic and all. But the fact of the matter is – even people who say that they don’t care, have never cared and will never care, in fact, care the most. And I know its all nice and idealistic to say: oh I don’t care if I am hairy, but I will never subject myself and my poor skin to ruthless hot wax which strips away (along with all that hair) my moral values - on how the amount of hair on a woman’s skin should not matter to anyone and how it shouldn’t matter if a woman has hair on her legs/underarms/face etc. coz it doesn’t matter for men. Its nice to say that, nice and attention-grabbing, coz when you tell people this, they get impressed and they might tell other people coz not many people broadcast such radical views on this issue.
But the bottom line is…even though I would like to think like that, I just can’t. My hair (or the lack of it) does matter to me. And though I keep trying to tell myself that it doesn’t matter and it isn’t worth subjecting myself to such pain, it does matter to me. Unfortunately. This is what I get for watching all these shows on tv where hot, sexy women with Great bods prance about almost naked on the screen and reading articles in magazines with huge glossy pictures of the same subjects. Not that I avidly watch these kind of shows – they have kind of pervaded the world of entertainment so thoroughly, that instead of the consumer (by this, I mean a guy who is sexually frustrated) chasing after these shows, the shows leap out at the consumers. From all over the place.
I have to admit this though - the feel of your skin after you wax and put cream is just great. Another unfortunate piece of information that I would rather not be privy to.
In other news, my dad discovered today that what he thought was a bottle of shampoo, was in fact a bottle of conditioner – and he had been using that bottle, thinking it was shampoo, for 2 weeks. So he went and bought a bottle of shampoo plus conditioner. Haha! It was damn funny! I love educating my dad and my mum.
Actually I love educating anyone. Coz it makes me feel superior. Not to say that I’m not already. =D
There is something seriously wrong with blogspot and it is pissing me off. I cant type on the website itself coz the font colour is white and I cant change it. I have to resort to Microsoft word and then copy paste it into blogger. Gah.
Why do people say Mozilla is better than IE?
Ok I gotta scoot now. Play-with-brother time.

imsopretty!
I am so pretty, and witty and gaaaaaaaay!
Guess why!
Coz….*drum roll*
I WATCHED POTC TWOOOOOOO!!! It was AWESOME. And it exceeded my expectations. And Johnny depp has a new HARDCORE fan!!! Coz he’s so HOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg. And I will not let the fact that he has kissed practically every hot girl in Hollywood and the fact that his wife is very hot, deter me in my obsession of him.
=D Basically, it was brill. And my brother helped! Surprisingly. He was sitting next to me. And during all the scary parts (there were none…I meant the parts where some evil/foul creature jumps unexpectedly into the screen accompanied by a loud sound), my brother and I yelled and shrieked and screamed. Until the guy sitting on my other side, this (quite cute) guy wearing formal clothes, perceptibly edged away. Ah well. But it was fun!!!! And then after that we ate NAAN in the foodcourt at inorbit. i love naan. =D
You know, the theatres here have air-con! Hahaa…ok kidding. Its not like for 1 minute I expected the theatres in Inorbit Mall to not have AC. I mean c’mon. People from out of town have heard of this mall. SHAH RUKH KHAN filmed in this mall recently. This mall has like posh shops and EVERYTHING. In fact, if you don’t go into the toilets (which are surprisingly quite clean. But still not up to Singapore standards), once you enter the mall, it reminds you of a mall in Singapore. Seriously. It's pretty surprising. I am forced to admit this. Because I pride myself in being truthful about the things that I say bad things about.
I am a very moral person.
Oh who am I kidding??? Just because I watched JOHNNY DEPP IN ACTION, doesn’t mean I’m more acclimatized to the environment here (though it did help to a certain extent)! Just because ONE MALL - which is the size of a microscopic cell, compared to the size of Bombay, is air-conditioned and posh, and which has a bookshop with all these cool books – is all trendy and sells nothing for less than a thousand rupees (the lower limit is something higher, probably)…just because there’s this mall near my house, doesn’t mean India’s problems are solved!
Mumbai is supposed to be the financial CAPITAL of India, which is a fast-developing nation, with one of the world’s HIGHEST GDP rates. There are THOUSANDS of talented young minds here, just waiting to be discovered. Indian companies are bringing in TONS of money every year and, as a result, the economy is rising steeply. And everyone is saying that India is going to be the next big thing. Yet, there are THOUSANDS of illiterate, starving, diseased people here. WHY?? Because the people in the government are too busy lining their pockets (with something made of paper and which looks like – I dunno? Maybe money?!?!??!) to care about some guy on some mud-path in some village in some part of India who is dying of poverty and all the other bad conditions that come with it (think package deal).
So, if you think about it, all the money that India earns, every year – the money that Indians rake in, by the penny, is contributing towards the fattening up of some local politician. Who couldn’t care less about india’s future, who is only concerned with his stomach (and maybe his bowels too) and who is probably as illiterate as the guy on the mud-path in the village someplace who is dying of poverty. Of course, the money doesn’t go directly – that’s the beauty of taxes isn’t it?
In India, taxes don’t go into improving the living standards of the people like in all other countries (ok maybe not all, but in developed countries at least). They serve mainly to hide the corruption (that is very evident!) of the Indian government. They tax everything so that they can earn money, so that they can live in larger houses, with, maybe, a swimming pool (when people are suffering to obtain water and when, especially in places like Chennai, water shortages hit the city every other day) and 5 cars (when the pollution is horribly rampant all over India, except in the undeveloped places, which in the near future, are going to be developed and polluted too).
I suppose you can say, like my parents always do in heated defence of India’s political system, whenever I start my treatise on how corrupted it is, that India does have one of the most democratic system in the world – you can go as far to say that in many ways, India has the ONLY truly democratic political system in the world. Which is good.
In theory.
But, in real life, people here are not educated enough to realize this – the fact that since this is true of the system here, THEY, and not the political party ruling the government, have the actual power. They can make changes to the nation. They can help transform this nation into something much much better than what China is becoming (in my opinion, China is becoming another Singapore, albeit with a much larger economy, and a larger reservoir of resources). They can do so much – yet they know so little. Their illiteracy is what is holding back this nation. Their willingness to vote for some undeserving party, as long as they get a few bucks, is what is preventing India from achieving her true potential.
And this is the truth. According to me. Unfortunately, as my mum says, I’m too idealistic.
Time to sink back down to earth and do some SAT prep. I’m way behind, especially since I have to do THREE SAT SUBJECT TESTS to get admission into NUS. I swear, if I wasn’t Singaporean, I would SO not apply to NUS (which is ONLY my back-up). Its so narrow-minded. HOW CAN ADMISSION ONLY BE BASED ON ACADEMICS?? That is so not fair. I am as good as any other tom, dick or harry who has gone through the Singapore education system. Stop saying that I’m not. And don’t deny that you’re saying that coz the evidence is staring right in my face.
Ok now im pissed off. Weird how my moods fluctuate. Ok then. Off to do some SAT prep.
JOY.

Missuniverse
I know that it’s a debasing contest that is held every year for the sole purpose of deciding who looks best on the outside, and does not focus on anything remotely to do with the inner beauty. I know it. It runs through my head, especially every year at around this time…when I sit down and watch it. I can understand why guys want to watch this show – I mean which guy wouldn’t right. They watch it for the same reason they watch Baywatch – hello. Nobody watches Baywatch for its awesome plot, no matter what Mia (from Princess Diaries) says about how intellectually stimulating this program is. But why do girls watch???
I mean, take, for example, me, who believes firmly that girls should not constantly strive to enhance their outer beauty, at least not without ensuring that their inner beauty is achieved to its fullest potential. I believe that, and I do believe that I believe that. I really really do. Then WHY am I unable to resist the lure of the television remote every year around this time when miss universe airs on tv? WHY?? I feel so guilty. It’s like I’m violating my code of ethics. But I really cannot resist.
Pooey.
Anyway, all I can say after that rant is: I missed watching the show live on tv this morning (hello. It was at 6.30 am…I mean who wakes up at 6.30 in the morning during holidays man!) so I am going to catch the repeat on star world at 8 pm today. I know its degrading and debasing to women – but I have to watch it. I just have to! So stop attacking me, you inner-demons!
Anyway, the weather in Mumbai is twisted. Seriously. I mean one day, actually for 2 straight days, it was raining the WHOLE day. I kid you not – the whole day. When I woke up it was raining, when I ate breakfast it was raining, when I took a bath it was raining, when I ate lunch it was raining…you get the picture. It never let up, the whole day. I know, this may seem unbelievable but its true – my mum says that that usually happens for a whole week, but this year it only happened for TWO days (another prime evidence of global warming. Soon the monsoon season will be shortened to 1 minute or something. Only then will the government in India realize that they have to ban diesel and promote the sale of petrol as a fuel to run motor vehicles, in order to cut down the amount of pollution. They also need to realize that factories generate huge amounts of smoke and other harmful gases such as greenhouse gases, and that they have to do their utmost best to prevent this by installing air cleansers in all the chimneys and by building MUCH taller chimneys.)
Yeah. So where was I – the rain. Yeah so I woke up today and – ta dah! – no rain! Its so freaking sunny today though. Its not like the weather is appealing or anything, but it’s an improvement from perpetually rainy weather. When it rains, the whole world seems gloomy, and you can never be truly happy or energetic. But when its sunny, as long as its not humid, its all cheerful again! As long as you stay indoors that is. Coz once you go out, it will seem that you had never bathed. You sweat like hell here man! I think its coz of the dust from all that rampant pollution.
The list of things that the government should be doing here can run for up to a 100 pages on Microsoft word. Seriously. Someday, when I have more time, I will write up that list – I know that even in the future, the state of affairs in India is going to be the same and the fastest way to explain why is: you can’t teach an old dog new tricks [think: the Indian Government = the dog and Tricks = all the new reforms that the government should be focusing on]
Okay. Now I have to go do university research. I don’t really want to go to NUS – I mean I do on one hand, but since I want to do a dual degree with Engineering and Political Science, I don’t think NUS is good for me. I mean, everyone knows its crap for anything in the Arts. Of course, I don’t mean the students are crap – some of them are really good and worthy of better universities – I meant the faculty. So I’m also going to be looking at US universities. I hope I get into somewhere good. Or you know, it would be much easier to make the decision if god turned back the clock for about 15 years, and let me re-live my life (with the exact same exam papers) all over again. Then, maybe it would be an easier choice to make.
University Websites are weirdly confusing. You would think they would make everything as clear as possible so that prospective students get attracted and not detracted. But no. They don’t. After looking at a university website, I have NOTHING but questions in my head. And they drive me CRAZY! I have this thing where I have to clear questions then and there if I want any peace of mind. I cant even sleep sometimes! And then I get pissed with the university – but I have no choice coz it’s a good one!
Or maybe I just think too much. I’m sure the average student wouldn’t mind the questions or rather, wouldn’t even have any questions. OK I admit – im just a weird alien android.
Ok gotta scoot.

quiztime!
so much has happened in the past week that i really really have no idea where to begin. should i start with the move? or maybe start complaining about how much work i have to do for the next 4 weeks because of my lazy negligent behaviour for the first 4 weeks of my holidays? or just maybe, start pondering about how life is unfair? or of course, i could just start bemoaning the fact that i missed watching POTC (with my lovely johnny depp acting in it!!!!) by one day! and that it might not even come out in this ulu nation! *wtf*
i really dunno. right now, im kind of tired and i cant think. so instead of letting my mind do the thinking on its own, i shall complete a quiz! just for the heck of it. and also coz im really tired. ok i think i said that. ok one more thing to talk about: how my mind is playing tricks on me! oh joy.
ok before i start depressing whoever reads this blog for sustenance (i highly doubt that anyone would stoop to that >.< coz what i talk about is mostly rubbish. really. i really think so. it really is rubbish.) i shall proceed to do the quiz!
I'VE BEEN TAGGED! Once you've been tagged, you have to write a blog with 5 weird facts/things/habits about yourself, saying who tagged you. In the end you need to choose the 5 people to be tagged and list their names. No tag backs.
SHERIN TAGGED ME. crazy biatch. but u gave me something to do when my mind is frettered and over-burdened with a multitude of worries. thus, i forgive you. *angel choir!*
1. I am extremely paranoid. I like to think about all the bad stuff that can happen in any situation and dwell upon these paranoia-inducing thoughts.
2. I get depressed very easily. Very Easily. Probably due to number 1.
3. I keep all my feelings and emotions to myself. I never confide in anyone. Not easily anyway. If and when i do, it will probably be about old news. really old news which isnt exactly important anymore.
4. I am very pessimistic. I am not an optimist. Usually. If you think that I am an optimist, put up your hand. Then I can laugh at how silly you look when you do.
5. I get really crazy and whacked-out sometimes. its scary. but its really fun. and i get these adrenaline rushes and it feels great! coz i have so much fun! and i think (and hope) that whoever im talking to is having as much fun! =P
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Do the following without complaining.
2. Choose 5 people to do this after you've completed yours.

4 things you did today: ermm talked on phone!! finally!! with shilpa and afsheen. and i ate. alot of food. coz i am a pig. and i went shopping - got my SAT 2 chemistry book. shitt i have to get to work. thank god this quiz is ending. oh ermm and i watched friends on tv - thankfully at least friends is in english. i swear every other show is in hindi man! that is so racist! and every other -ist you can think of! how can the local television not appeal to foreigners when the influx percentage of foreigners into bombay is one of the highest in the world?? and also when bombay's economy depends largely on NGOs and foreign companies?? ok maybe not largely but a large portion which is disproportionate to the foreign population in bombay anyway.
4 sounds you can hear right now: fans whirring above my head. 2 fans coz the atmosphere in bombay is really sultry. oh ok fine. 1 fan is running coz im too lazy to go over and switch it off. and the sound of typing. and the sound of car horns. everyone on the road in a vehicle horns here. everyone. even if they're like, not in the midst of traffic. they just hear someone else honking and they join in for fun or something. so its mostly cacophonous on the roads here.
the Chosen Five to do this!: dunno. up to whoever wants to do it man. im really cool with it. but if u do do the quiz, please tag! so i know that i can come and read it =P
ok now i have to go. must go to sleeeeep. if i want to wake up tmr and (hopefully) talk to people on the phone! my mum never leaves the house. arghhhh.
ok going to suck my fingers then! g'night.
i really dunno. right now, im kind of tired and i cant think. so instead of letting my mind do the thinking on its own, i shall complete a quiz! just for the heck of it. and also coz im really tired. ok i think i said that. ok one more thing to talk about: how my mind is playing tricks on me! oh joy.
ok before i start depressing whoever reads this blog for sustenance (i highly doubt that anyone would stoop to that >.< coz what i talk about is mostly rubbish. really. i really think so. it really is rubbish.) i shall proceed to do the quiz!
I'VE BEEN TAGGED! Once you've been tagged, you have to write a blog with 5 weird facts/things/habits about yourself, saying who tagged you. In the end you need to choose the 5 people to be tagged and list their names. No tag backs.
SHERIN TAGGED ME. crazy biatch. but u gave me something to do when my mind is frettered and over-burdened with a multitude of worries. thus, i forgive you. *angel choir!*
1. I am extremely paranoid. I like to think about all the bad stuff that can happen in any situation and dwell upon these paranoia-inducing thoughts.
2. I get depressed very easily. Very Easily. Probably due to number 1.
3. I keep all my feelings and emotions to myself. I never confide in anyone. Not easily anyway. If and when i do, it will probably be about old news. really old news which isnt exactly important anymore.
4. I am very pessimistic. I am not an optimist. Usually. If you think that I am an optimist, put up your hand. Then I can laugh at how silly you look when you do.
5. I get really crazy and whacked-out sometimes. its scary. but its really fun. and i get these adrenaline rushes and it feels great! coz i have so much fun! and i think (and hope) that whoever im talking to is having as much fun! =P
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Do the following without complaining.
2. Choose 5 people to do this after you've completed yours.

entertainment?
my brother is currently 'entertaining' me and my sis with his 'spectacular' fifa world cup kicks. what he actually does is, put a tennis ball down in front of him, yell "FIFA WORLD CUP" in this crazed fanatical voice and swivel around the ball, fall down and kick it towards the wall. yes. this is what he and my sis have to do for entertainment and im stuck in the middle of it all, when the ball occasionally hits me/my laptop/the mouse/my tissue box etc. they have this annoying habit of kicking it straight at me and when it almost hits or does hit me they say "Oops!" as if they didnt mean it.
im not in a very good mood currently. thinking about wednesday is just getting me down. i dont want to think about it. but whenever i think about anything happy, like going out with friends, or some joke about something, or going someplace, or even buying food, i think about wednesday. about what wednesday signifies - the close of the chapter of my life in singapore. the start of my life in bombay. yeah, im still going to be a citizen. but hello? its not the same thing. i have never cultivated a strong bond with Singapore. I've never felt a part of it like some of my friends have. I've never stood up for it or anything. In fact, i think if it weren't for my family's move to India I would have never felt anything remotely patriotic in nature for Singapore. It's kind of ironic, that the one thing that will take me further away from my home for the past 14 years is what has induced these feelings (of considering Singapore as my home) in me.
ironic and irritating.
oh the ball hit my glass of water. it spilt all over my pillow. have to go change my pillow. (the one im sitting on coz if i dont sit on a pillow my butt will hurt like Hell)
ok I'm back.
yesterday i went for an njc band concert with sok. it was fun =P and we came to this conclusion (as proof of the fact that we have intelligent conversations as opposed to the views of those people who think we talk crap): Women should drive men to drive them around. This is so true if you think about it. This way, women get to be the boss in any relationship. If they get to make their respective other drive them around aka do their bidding, first of all, its an ego booster. And second of all, the relatinoship will flourish! Coz when a woman is in control, only good things can happen. Just ask any woman.
yeah so we had loads of fun just talking rot. Sok: you are the only close chinese friend I have, and probably the only chinese friend i keep in touch with after moving to India, and I'm extremely sad that I won't see you for a year at least. [I dunno whether I'm going to be coming back to study in NUS (anything can happen) but if I do, it will be with mixed feelings coz I really want to study in the US of A and make it big like I know my parents want me to.] We HAVE to keep in touch. I'm so sorry I'm going to be missing your birthday and I really hope you can make it to the airport on wednesday. This feels like I'm writing my will or something, like some part of me is dying. Which is true - the Singapore part of me is. If I dont come back to study in Uni here. Life is full of mystery. You never know what's going to happen, you never know when its going to happen.
oh man. why am I so depressed? I shouldn't be because the memories I have of this place and all the things I did here for the last 14 years of my life are enough to make up for this. It really is. I've had so much fun here. With both my family and my friends. I can only hope and wish that I will have the same amount of fun in any other place with another, different set of people.
but I am depressed. Hopefully, when I meet up with Priya and Nini later today, this depression will vanish. It will. I know me. I can hide things really well when I want to. It's a quality of mine that is a necessary evil - I need it and I hate it.
and the fact that amelie mauresmo and not justine henin won the wimbledon womens' singles is not helping to alleviate my depression at all. amelie mauresmo sucks. i hate her. justine henin fully deserved that trophy, considering how she's been playing. and considering that everyone expected her to win. well. i guess tennis is like soccer, in that, in this season at least, nobody that I've supported is winning.
I wanted Brazil to win the World Cup. Brazil or Germany. In fact Brazil vs Germany would have been an awesome final. Germany is an amazing team too. And Klinsmann is hot. but old. but old men can be hot as George Clooney and Richard Gere have proved so many times in their numerous cinematic appearances in recent films. Anyway.
And I had also wanted Andy Roddick, Marat Safin or Mario Ancic to win the Wimbledon mens' singles trophy. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen and its probably going to be Roger Federer. Again. and he's probably going to win the US open. no surprise there. i wish Federer could just go stick his head in a hole somewhere which is not England/France/Australia/US. But he's such a good player! argh. i hate the fact that I dont support him but still want to see him play coz he plays such marvellous, beautiful tennis. It's like tennis is his version of poetry. He can probably make any type of shot a winner at the expense of his opponent (duh). And that's why I dont want him to win, while simultaneously admiring him and applauding his brilliance - I always support the underdogs.
I hope I find the time in India to keep blogging. Blogging helps keep me from being overloaded with emotion as I find it really difficult to talk about my feelings to other people. Ok. I've been exceptionally non-hyper during this post. Dunno whats up with me. Lack of sleep? Lack of food? Lack of good weather? Lack of anything to do around this empty house with no tv, no table, no chairs etc? Abundance of irritating siblings? Has to be one of those.
omg. i just remembered something. I found out that my dad has a blog! AAAAH! haha. i went there yesterday and read his posts - he has a sense of humour! He has got to be the only dad i know with a blog (im only considering dads of people i know). That is so trendy and modern! Appa! I didnt know you had it in you! =P I mean, you wear loongies and go work in some company! That's what dads do! They dont have blogs! and they dont post about stuff like male-bashing (yes, my dad's latest post is on male-bashing; he listed a couple of jokes at the expense of the (fragile) male ego)! haha! damn funny. if you want to you can go check his blog out at: www.vijaysrinivasan.wordpress.com
he's gonna be so pleased that im giving him extra publicity. please, whatever you do, DO NOT, inadvertantly, give him my blog url coz there's LOADS of stuff on this blog that i DO NOT want him or my mother to know/read. they will never stop talking about it. and they might get offended. you dont know my parents. so please, whatever you do, DO NOT give him my url. thanks. =P happy reading then! have to go suck my toes!

carsandpillowfights
href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6243/649/1600/lamborghini.1.jpg">
above: a lamborghini. its so sexy right! its not the one that i and sok saw in paragon but its close coz it was the only lamborghini convertible picture i found on the net...of course the lamborghini website has more but then you cant copy pictures off of it. so. haha...but this car is cool too =D i love sexy, streamlined, yummy cars! especially red ones! or black ones! or black ones with red seats! haha =P
while we're talking about happy stuff (b4 i go on to the depressing stuff): Ive been busy over the weekend! *beamz* i met up with the g12 gang minus a few people, like my father, and had LOADS of HUMONGOUS BARRELFULS of fun =D we gossiped like nobody's business (if there was a competition for best gossiping group, we would so win it! we gossip about ppl we dont even know >.< words =" supposed">.< *sigh* haha...and then me and sherin had a PILLOW FIGHT! so fun! omg! i was dida! and she was ronaldo! and then i got to be the more good looking Wayne Rooney! take that, cristiano! hmph. haha...it was damn fun! that was probably one of my almost-died-laughing moments =D [while we were pillow-fighting, sok was playing minesweeper >.< href="http://www.youtube.com">www.youtube.com so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol. richard simmons is SO gay and he's not even good-looking; usually gay guys are waaaay handsome-er than him. lol. and then they had to go. it was fun *beamz*
ok i have to go now. my brother wants to do, what he calls, un-childish stuff aka playing computer games on www.disneychannel.com ...they've got cool games btw. not bad. good for a person with slow reflexes. like me. though my bro is MUCH better at computer games, or any games, for that matter. i can safely say that im an academic person. lol. kk ciao. dont miss me too much anon!!!!!!!!! lol. =D

somuchlurrrve
yesterday was so fun! =P i had so much fun that it completely counterbalanced my weariness from walking around all day...*Beamz* ok so this was how my day went: i woke up LATE coz i was UP late the previous night chatting with random people and not having so much fun actually (=[ i usually have fun while chatting. oh well. first time for everything...). so anw. i woke up at like 9.45 a.m. even though my mum woke me up at 9.00 (thank GOD my mum had to go out after waking me up!!!! she is such a good nag >.<) and then i called sok!!! actually i called her to arrange the timing and where to meet etc etc but we ended up talking about uteruses and oestrogen >.< why do we have the most RANDOM but entertaining conversations????? lol =D
and then i left on my journey! from petir (which is in bukit panjang for all you weirdos who live in the east) to orchard! the journey was probably as far as mordor is from the shire...lol. i miss lotr, havent watched/read it for a while. there's so much to do!!! anw. i digress. so, i caught 171 and was happily sitting there, staring at people and criticizing their appearances in my head (as i always do even though i know its wrong to criticize people based on their appearances as i, myself, am not naomi campbell or kaka's wife) and then i casually looked out the window and my eye caught a street sign, and instead of proclaiming that the bus was in bukit timah (or a place nearer to orchard than bukit panjang) the sign says: "MANDAI ROAD". haha! i had taken the bus from the wrong side and i was heading towards the zoo (to which i DO NOT belong to just in case someone wanted to add that UNwelcome comment)!!! to my credit, i fully realized this asap and i got off the bus at the nearest bus stop, which turned out to be outside this army place - so obviously, the bus stop was only used by army people and not by civillians (so i wouldnt be able to criticize the bus driver and the rest of the passengers in the 171 that i took from the opposite side for staring at me as if i was some demented freak). haha! that is so (NOT) my goal - to make everyone, apart from those who already think so - think that i am an alien from mars. oh well. it was an adventure. and i got to see one of the ulu-er places in singapore. and i got to be near my brethren (the zoo animals)!! [I AM KIDDING]
ok anw. then i met sok at the 171 bus stop outside tangs coz i was afraid that i wouldnt know how to walk to borders (why am i embarrassing myself by including this here?? oh well. im in a weird mood anw) and then it turned out u could see borders from that bus stop >.<>.< and she woke me up from sleeping! no fair!
so anw, i meet sok and we have fun talking ROT (and she was wearing a different t-shirt! FINALLY!!!!!!) and CRAP and NONSENSE about nothing in particular - our conversations are extremely random and i think this is why i thrive while talking to her because i, like our conversations, and like her, am extremely random. and then we went to borders and she helped me pick out this book on how to achieve happiness for my mum's birthday present (she is fully stressed right now, what with us migrating etc etc. she yells at us like everyday...kk not everyday but practically everyday) and we were just looking at everything else. and sok discovered my very bad habit of leaving things where i did not find them =]. in my defense, i can only say that, it is extremely convenient to do this, especially when you are hungry/tired or your feet are paining and the shop is big or you want to high tail out of the place. or if you are just plain lazy. yeah.
and then we went to pasta mania (which was underground!!! orchard road never ceases to delight me with its wonderful surprises tucked away in the most surprising places. the next cineplex is probably gonna be in a toilet or something! lol =P) and we sat there waiting for 20 mins, doing nothing, coz the student discount was at 2 and it was 1.40 haha...and we stared hungrily at the cheese jar on the table and debated whether or not to steal it. and then we ordered and ate our food which was extremely yummy and hottt. =P and we got 30 % off. hah! and then i showed sok some indian money - 100 rupee notes. and then we smelt them and stuff. haha =D so basically we had fun while eating.
and then we walked around orchard road for like an hour - we went into paragon (where we visited the toilet to see if it was as nice as the rest of the building - sadly it wasnt. very cramped and small. and though the colours of the tiles were nice, nothing else was. there weren't even mirrors in the middle!! oh well. and then we took photos of a lamborghini!! it was black with red leather seats and it was open on top and it was so sexy! and we set the trend! everyone started taking photos of the car after we did! haha =D) and then we went to heeren (where we looked for a muse cd and discussed music...and we met sherin, jaya and xm outside and they were all wearing black tops and blue jeans - sherin, however airy a top is, i would never wear it if it was full-sleeved and black, at least, i would never wear it in this humid weather-hellhole that we fondly refer to as singapore)
I love you sok! And you made my Friday great!! =P
and then I had to go home coz my mum, my sis, my bro and I were going out for dinner to celebrate my mum’s birthday =P we went to pizza hut coz my brother wanted to eat pizza >.< selflessness and letting the birthday person do the choosing of the birthday-dinner-venue choosing are two qualities my brother certainly does not display. Anw, we had gazillions of gallons of fun! =P and I ate a stuffed crust pizza (I feel extremely guilty thinking of it now, and NO, a flabby tummy does NOT feel soft or comfortable – actually I wouldn’t know if it is comfortable to sleep on, seeing as how I am a normal person and not a contortionist and thus, I can’t put my head on my stomach and be comfortable at the same time)…but it was good while it lasted =P the cheese was so squelchy and CHEESY *drools in memory* oh well. All good things have to come to an end.
And then we went home and watched The Gods Must Be Crazy – which btw, is an EXTREMELY funny movie and will crack anyone up. Seriously. It has got to be one of my all-time favourite comedies. N!XAU is such a good actor! He is a !kung bushman – which explains the exclamation mark. The whole ‘evil thing’ and ‘end of the world’ thing was in very good taste too. I think. My mum, as usual, when it is a movie that I picked and not a movie she picked, constrained her enthusiasm at watching such a good specimen of a movie and merely said that the humour was a bit overdone. Oh well. I was happy anyway. It was hilarious. Seriously. =P
So, all in all, yesterday was goooooood.
Oh and before I go for a bath (yes I know its bad to not bathe as soon as you get up etc etc – my mum has nagged me already today thanks very much), I have to blog about Wednesday!! =P sherin came over to my house for dinner!! Haha…for a full update on that, check out her blog: http://hanirehs.blogspot.com . everything I wanna say is there. Plus this: I love you! And you made my Wednesday great! =P
ok now i have to go for a bath. will update more on my worldly-wise musings later...=D
and then i left on my journey! from petir (which is in bukit panjang for all you weirdos who live in the east) to orchard! the journey was probably as far as mordor is from the shire...lol. i miss lotr, havent watched/read it for a while. there's so much to do!!! anw. i digress. so, i caught 171 and was happily sitting there, staring at people and criticizing their appearances in my head (as i always do even though i know its wrong to criticize people based on their appearances as i, myself, am not naomi campbell or kaka's wife) and then i casually looked out the window and my eye caught a street sign, and instead of proclaiming that the bus was in bukit timah (or a place nearer to orchard than bukit panjang) the sign says: "MANDAI ROAD". haha! i had taken the bus from the wrong side and i was heading towards the zoo (to which i DO NOT belong to just in case someone wanted to add that UNwelcome comment)!!! to my credit, i fully realized this asap and i got off the bus at the nearest bus stop, which turned out to be outside this army place - so obviously, the bus stop was only used by army people and not by civillians (so i wouldnt be able to criticize the bus driver and the rest of the passengers in the 171 that i took from the opposite side for staring at me as if i was some demented freak). haha! that is so (NOT) my goal - to make everyone, apart from those who already think so - think that i am an alien from mars. oh well. it was an adventure. and i got to see one of the ulu-er places in singapore. and i got to be near my brethren (the zoo animals)!! [I AM KIDDING]
ok anw. then i met sok at the 171 bus stop outside tangs coz i was afraid that i wouldnt know how to walk to borders (why am i embarrassing myself by including this here?? oh well. im in a weird mood anw) and then it turned out u could see borders from that bus stop >.<>.< and she woke me up from sleeping! no fair!
so anw, i meet sok and we have fun talking ROT (and she was wearing a different t-shirt! FINALLY!!!!!!) and CRAP and NONSENSE about nothing in particular - our conversations are extremely random and i think this is why i thrive while talking to her because i, like our conversations, and like her, am extremely random. and then we went to borders and she helped me pick out this book on how to achieve happiness for my mum's birthday present (she is fully stressed right now, what with us migrating etc etc. she yells at us like everyday...kk not everyday but practically everyday) and we were just looking at everything else. and sok discovered my very bad habit of leaving things where i did not find them =]. in my defense, i can only say that, it is extremely convenient to do this, especially when you are hungry/tired or your feet are paining and the shop is big or you want to high tail out of the place. or if you are just plain lazy. yeah.
and then we went to pasta mania (which was underground!!! orchard road never ceases to delight me with its wonderful surprises tucked away in the most surprising places. the next cineplex is probably gonna be in a toilet or something! lol =P) and we sat there waiting for 20 mins, doing nothing, coz the student discount was at 2 and it was 1.40 haha...and we stared hungrily at the cheese jar on the table and debated whether or not to steal it. and then we ordered and ate our food which was extremely yummy and hottt. =P and we got 30 % off. hah! and then i showed sok some indian money - 100 rupee notes. and then we smelt them and stuff. haha =D so basically we had fun while eating.
and then we walked around orchard road for like an hour - we went into paragon (where we visited the toilet to see if it was as nice as the rest of the building - sadly it wasnt. very cramped and small. and though the colours of the tiles were nice, nothing else was. there weren't even mirrors in the middle!! oh well. and then we took photos of a lamborghini!! it was black with red leather seats and it was open on top and it was so sexy! and we set the trend! everyone started taking photos of the car after we did! haha =D) and then we went to heeren (where we looked for a muse cd and discussed music...and we met sherin, jaya and xm outside and they were all wearing black tops and blue jeans - sherin, however airy a top is, i would never wear it if it was full-sleeved and black, at least, i would never wear it in this humid weather-hellhole that we fondly refer to as singapore)
I love you sok! And you made my Friday great!! =P
and then I had to go home coz my mum, my sis, my bro and I were going out for dinner to celebrate my mum’s birthday =P we went to pizza hut coz my brother wanted to eat pizza >.< selflessness and letting the birthday person do the choosing of the birthday-dinner-venue choosing are two qualities my brother certainly does not display. Anw, we had gazillions of gallons of fun! =P and I ate a stuffed crust pizza (I feel extremely guilty thinking of it now, and NO, a flabby tummy does NOT feel soft or comfortable – actually I wouldn’t know if it is comfortable to sleep on, seeing as how I am a normal person and not a contortionist and thus, I can’t put my head on my stomach and be comfortable at the same time)…but it was good while it lasted =P the cheese was so squelchy and CHEESY *drools in memory* oh well. All good things have to come to an end.
And then we went home and watched The Gods Must Be Crazy – which btw, is an EXTREMELY funny movie and will crack anyone up. Seriously. It has got to be one of my all-time favourite comedies. N!XAU is such a good actor! He is a !kung bushman – which explains the exclamation mark. The whole ‘evil thing’ and ‘end of the world’ thing was in very good taste too. I think. My mum, as usual, when it is a movie that I picked and not a movie she picked, constrained her enthusiasm at watching such a good specimen of a movie and merely said that the humour was a bit overdone. Oh well. I was happy anyway. It was hilarious. Seriously. =P
So, all in all, yesterday was goooooood.
Oh and before I go for a bath (yes I know its bad to not bathe as soon as you get up etc etc – my mum has nagged me already today thanks very much), I have to blog about Wednesday!! =P sherin came over to my house for dinner!!
