" *they throw him the slit-eyed look* "Wat? Wat did i say?! oh wait.... Oh. Oh. Oh. OH." ~ And i wonder why my friends say " U Suck " so often. LOL. ~ OKAY OKAY. Yes yes, I managed to get a ... "can i still call it dat? " long long weekend again. I CAN EXPLAIN. Cos of my duty eating into my weekends, i've got make-up operations off days (off-in-lieu)from today (tues. i jus got back at noon okay. i'm not dat slack.) till thurs. And i figured since the army is operating 5 days a week now, i might as well take a one day off on friday and have a long, uninterrupted rest with my weekend. And of course, my Medical Appt on Monday morning is also a push factor cos it means i get to sleep in on sunday too (hurray!) as i make my way to Paya Lebar (where on earth is that again?) for mi knee Xray. So i have ahem..SIX days of sleeping on my comfy mattress. okay la. i'm quite sad, it's realli quite lousy. my mattress. if not for e pc, i'll be sleeping over at my uncle's place instead where i get a kingsized bed ALL to MYSELF. But i swear to not waste my 6 days of FREEDOM! If only people were free to like go Johor or some chalet now. :( but oh well, i never liked stay-overs but still it would have been nice to have an option which maximised my off days. So i've decided to bring in Mr. Discipline (its always a mister for some reason) and plan out my schedule diligently. (wow yum, mum jus gave me a pinch of her freshly baked bread. i taste cheese. *eyes go wonky*) Things i need to do : 1) Get my passport updated 2) Get a haircut (DONE! it looks horrid. so short. Snorts at auntie) 3) Get my passport photos taken (DONE!) 4) Take two driving lessons (ONE DONE!) 5) GOT to practise my flute 6) Get the presents done (*wink wink* ALMOST!!!) 7) Visit granny ( :> ) at mandai 8) Eat as many lunches with my grandpa as possible 9) WRITE. I'm suffering from inspiration drought. I mus stop indulging in Jin Yung. 10)Borrow books on Cultural Revolution. i am embarrassing. 11)Run. Run. Run. Yay! And i've got some small things to settle like baking a STUPID brownie, make a doll, finish watching a jap serial and maybe get a few more. I love living in VCD world. I get to be brainless, passive and the world is TWO DIMENSIONAL-my dreamworld. I've been feeling very simple these days. Well that jus means i've been thinking simply and not 'simply thinking'(yay for me ML). Think my hiatus (everyone's using this word so i'm gonna use it TOO. i dun give a damn whether i'm using it correctly or NOT.) at my site sorta calmed me down. I love the green. I wake up really early in the morning and walk up this slope and all around me are the furry green hills (yes. they look furry). and it's almost impossible to think of anything bad. And the morning skies are gorgeous, i describe it out loud to myself everyday in Mandarin , it helps my descriptive skills (so i can use some stuff i think of when i write) and sorta occupies me when i'm walking up. Oh no. i find that my english sounds stupid. But oh well. I've not been reading english lately so ... bleahz. ~ MAF is this saturday! i'm not excited at all. haha. think i'm jus asking everyone to go cos that's what zhengyi thought he would have done 2 years ago,i think i've grown out of ... it. But oh, i realli wanna see my class. And hopefully i get to eat Prince with Lihui, huili, chris and niang niang. OH. and YAY! We got JIELUN TICS. A weird combination of Junjie and Me with Christine and Huili! haha. Dun ask me how it happened but they both were okay so i guess... OKAY! heh. I'm regretting SLIGHTLY for not getting the most expensive ones cos the $99 ones look quite sad. we get one corner. :( But aiya, i jus wanna sing with him ,moreover, i'm not like dying to touch his hand or smell his toes or something (grins slyly at furuibi and huili-san). NOVEMBER 27TH, something to look forward to! And furuibi, i'm not paying up! hahahhahahaha! (turns around and asks junjie) And junjie isn't too! hahhahahah! ~ F.R.I.E.N.D.S. I felt this hollowness yesterday when i was done with the ABSOLUTELY FINAL EPISODE OF THE FINAL SEASON of FRIENDS. 10 years. My mind was doing a brief recap of all e episodes i've done, Joey doing porn, Phoebe at the jackpot machines, Ross and Emily's wedding, Rachel and Brad Pitt, Rachel and her subordinate, Ross and his picnic basket, Emma, Monica fat, Monica thin, Chandler in his bathtub, the ducks, the old lady upstairs who died, even Janice and Gunther. :) I'll miss u guys. But it wasn't as bad as losing Ally Mcbeal. :( I still miss the show! It reminds me of Kok Wee (Ling. GROWL.) and MOELC days : gossiping w bjb on e previous night's episode. Well. well. I'll be there for you. (oh i hate Channel 5, they make such great ads, i couldn't take it when they had each of e cast say some soppy stuff while showing them do the 'awkward huggy' things. ) ~ TIDBITS Susilo and Jiawei - Celebrity Couple. Rocks. When are they coming out with their t-shirts? Check out the new songs by Cai Chun Jia (ALL over Channel U) and Jacky Cheung (u'll never recognise his voice). I proclaim Norika Fujiwara the sexiest woman alive. (Teng Yuan Ji Xiang, e jap babe who acted with Aaron Kwok in some cheesy HK action flick) I love my mother. I LOVE U MOM but i'm glad u dun read this! Not cos of the bread ok,u mercenary asses. I jus get this waves of love for my mom from time to time. I wanna eat American food in American serving. So any of my gluttony friends wanna go Billy Bombers, NYDC, kenny rogers, Tony Romas to pig it out , pls call. u know my number. A treat is most. i mean MOST welcome. Deliberate suntanning + Gym regime 1hr daily + Diet Control VS Crystal Jade's Glutinuous Rice + A tub of HaagDaaz + Alcoholichoc + AMERICAN FOOD + PASTA + Huat4 Gueh4 erm....gimme a min....HAIYAHHHH! K.O.!!! the 9.00 o'clock show rocks. i'm jus a sucker for "the romance of tomboy and i-din-know-i-liked-her "Brother" she has" TCS storylines. They can do it 100 times but i'll still love it anyway. If i'm a guy in my next life, i want a sister, 4 daughters and a wife who i love deeply but died when mi last daughter was born so i can live the perfect HK serial. (Think "Jue2 Shi4 Hao3 Ba4") 20% Ren Ying Ying + 50% Huang Rong + 30% Zhao Min --> Mi dreamlover. And Zhao Min looks super good in the lousy TW adaptation of Yi Tian Tu Long Ji. Gosh. JIA JING WEN ! Why do u even bother dressing up in modern wear! (another case of legolasidite) okay. enuf of random thoughts. i'm so random i shock myself. 9/14/2004 07:08:00 PM
