The ill-effects of last minute mugging.
________________________________________________________________
I am so bored i am begging to be entertained.
Sleep, eat, books, sleep, eat, books.
Life shouldn't be this way.
I am itching for golf so bad! Don't know why, but i just wanna change into my shoes and gloves and go whack some balls like really far? Sigh.
The readings are so boring its killing me. But i know i shouldn't be complaining because i barely studied this sem. I have so much more to go, and i wonder how it's all gonna work out. Think i should just pray really hard. David and Jing, help me pray yah. My first paper is this wed. 930am.
Oh yah, been watching gilmore girls lately. Goodness, i love the way they speak! So witty!
Final photojourn finally done, am happy and relief. Rather satisfied with my work. :)
Final feature done. Am relief. Not sure if i'm satisfied.
Final 2 weeks before i am free. November 14th, oh gosh...it'll be so sweet. Can't wait to go crazy in thailand!
In my bottomless boredom, i found this to entertain myself. It was quite hilarious for awhile. haha. Enjoy!

Our Xiaoli.
________________________________________________________________
This entry is specially dedicated to Xiaoli.
Happy Birthday Xiaoli! U are officially 21.
Without you, CHAM will only be HAM. Without you, CHAMAYS will never C again.
For you and you only:
I remember.
Xiaoli! It's your birthday!
The day i saw you playing badminton in your curry pok fringe,
Was the day i promised myself never to perm my hair.
The day i saw you bouncing around to "Get Down" on the mayflower stage, was the day i promised myself never to dance again.
OH MY GOD.
Your Curry pok fringe and translucent giordano windbreaker, combined with backstreet boy's "Get Down",
you were the coolest kid in town.
But that was so long ago, when we all had pagers and ocean pacific wallets.
The official last day of sec school, was the day we first chilled out.
Never did i imagine i'll be friends with the curry pok girl.
These few years have come and gone. Let me recall what we did.
I remember Star Cruise, and how little we did.
I remember sleeping after breakfast, lunch and dinner just because u were "blind".
I remember how we missed our breakfast n boatride to Malacca because we were all still in slumber.
Oh i remember.
I remember that year, when you spent the last few moments before christmas in wheelock's toilet, waiting for someone.
I remember how even the toilet wouldn't accomodate you.
U pulled your pants down, ready to sit and wait but the intercom came on.
"Dear shoppers, please note that our building will be closing in 15 minutes."
Oh i remember.
I remember Thailand, and how CHAM was first formed.
I remember the day when i hugged u so tightly and we "ben xiang tai yang" on our jetski.
I remember the highlight of our trip, when we witnessed the skill of unbottling caps with our ass.
I remember toto and i remember Ah Pong.
Oh i remember.
Opps!
Sorry i got carried away, i just remembered it's your birthday!
Happpy birthday xiaoli!
I thank you for all you've done,
I thank you for your eternal humour,
And i thank you for not loving strawberries like bestfriend and ame do.
Xiaoli!
Rememeber, Nothing's gonna change our love for you....
----------------------------------------------
It's funny how as i write this, the ever cliche "thats what friends are for" is playing on class 95. This song always brings tears to me. I remember council farewell, and how i cried when mr ng played this song on his guitar. I remember my last night in LA, and how i cried when this came on the radio while el was driving me home. And now i'll always remember this song as the song i listened to while typing Xiaoli's poem.
Thank you for being you xiaoli. You brought tons of joy and laughter into my life, and thats really important. I never really thought we'll be such great friends, and now i am thankful that we are. I think u and i are the most similar in character in CHAM. Usually its U and ME being the demanding, childish ones while bestfriend and ame are the ones giving in. Thats why we make such a great pact!
Hope u enjoyed your birthday. Celestial Temptation was a blast. Cheers to your 21st, and cheers to this special friendship. I pray and hope that we'll all be here, sharing this special moment every year together.
Love ya. :)

13 sketches in a night?
________________________________________________________________
I swear the computer's evil. I spent 3 hours this afternoon reading one chap of my text because i was constantly distracted with the computer. And so i tried studying in my kitchen tonight. With the aid of a cuppa coffee and the lack of my laptop, i managed a chap within 2 hours! Am gonna be spending alot more time in the kitchen now i see.
Oh yah, after doing my readings, i realised that the 40 yr old virgin is extremely narrow in its portrayal of the "orient". If u guys watched the show, remember Andy's indian colleagues? Throughout the movie, those 2 had a constant unnaturally strong indian accent which i assume was meant to evoke laughter. And then that scene at the Japanese restaurant, where the 5 Jap women came and sounded silly with their drums and all singing happy birthday to the white american family? See, the roles they had, were so disgustingly stereotyped! Boo! Am gonna delete the show right now.
Anyways, a close friend gave me the add to her blog today. When i first read it, it sounded so weird. What was written was so different from what i knew about her. And then it got me thinking, a couple of friends have actually came up to me, telling me that i sound so different on my blog and from real life. So me and my friend, are we bloggers suffering from a split personality?
The main conclusion i came up with: we are alot more real on our blogs because it is here that we express more of our vulnerability. I compose my entries at like 3am in the wee morning, in the safety and comfort of my own room, enjoying frank sinatra's husky voice in the background. I am in the perfect situation to sit down and really think through what happened througout the day. And this blogging actually gives bloggers this unreal feel that they are just penning down their honest thoughts without anyone reading it. This, IS SO NOT TRUE. That's why you see us blurting out our deepest darkest thoughts so naturally and unconsciously! Sometimes i even wonder why i write the things that i write on my blog. Why would i want my friends knowing these disgusting inner thoughts?!
Alrighty...
Oh yah, my parents are so sweet! They went ahead and bought me a teevee today without me knowing it! Although i don't really like the design(its abit too squarish?) and the fact that that the screen's still the same size, i feel so loved! My parents seem to think that i will die if i am deprived of the teevee for yet another day. Haha. Oh yea..and so i can channel surf tonight again!
Am gonna do my sketches now. It's a bad idea when u cram all your weeks' sketches into one night. My tutor wants 33 sketches, and guess what? All i have is 20. So i am supposed to come up with 13 right now? Goodness. I wonder how this is all gonna work out. And mom looked at one of my sketches today and exclaimed in unbelief: " You are an undergrad and i think beanbean (boon's bro, my 7 yr old tutee) can draw better than you!" So much for an encouraging mom huh? She then started looking around the house for nice plates, ornaments, flowers, and insisted that i erase my elementary school sketches and start sketching all those stuff instead. Boo! I insisted that my drawings are abstract and not as simple as she thinks they are though. Haha.
Alright alright..back to work. My 2b pencil is shorter than my pinky now!

Indulge!
________________________________________________________________
Recently, sis and i have a common indulgence. Everynight after dinner, we give each other a knowing look and one of us will go bring out the slim bottle from the fridge.
Our latest indulgence: Inniskilin! A really nice bottle of ice wine she brought back from canada.
It'a actually a dessert wine, so its really sweet and fruity. And u actually feel satisfied without having to have like a mudpie or tiramisu! Oh yeah...inniskilin rocks! But its too expensive to be drank on a daily basis. The one slim bottle she bought actually costs 90 bucks. Crazy!
--
Watched the 40 yr old virgin today! Woohoo! Like finally. I didn't go to the theare though. So u should know where it came from without me spelling it out. The show's not that fantastic.
Err..i am getting bored with my own writing. Sigh..Back to the books. It's just books, photos, article, blog, these days. Life's so routine.
Oh yah..and i haven't got a new tv yet..so i am tv-less! Kinda good in a way, i started reading again, after so long. Woohoo. Can't wait for the hols when i can just laze around all day reading. See, i'm a closet nerd!

Let's talk about sex piggy.
________________________________________________________________
A call from HK made me think of the wonderful times i had with my hk sista. Yes, especially those times she was drunk.
That night during spring break, was the first time i experienced what alcohol could do to her. After five bottles of wine/beer/shots, A was stumbling around the hotel room, singing and screaming her version of britney's "hit me baby one more time." And so her version was titled "kiss me baby one more time". haha. It was a torture sharing the same bed with her that night. She refused to let me go to bed before she adequately stunned and "raped" whatever's left of the innocence in me. Goodness. Haha. But that was fun times and i still tease her about that night till today.
And so i received a call from her a couple of days back, exclaiming her first sexual experience after returning from US. She spared me nothing. I had to endure that 15 mins conversation, with alot of keen description. Sometimes i really wonder how our "relationship" got so "sexual". haha. She's the one person whom i talk to about sex most, because she is just so open about everything. She's so blatantly honest, it's funny.
She really made me realised that hk girls are so much more liberal than singaporean girls! Or at least my group of friends are all rather conservative, i think, and hope.
I do not agree with pre-marital sex, and even worse, one night stands. However, its funny how i can go into such lengthly conversations with my hk sista over it. I love honest conversations, wide open discussions. This is the best part of our friendship. Our honestly towards each other, and our ability to talk about everything.
I remember when i made fun of her accent, she told me straight in the face that " do u know thats a very rude thing to say?". I remember our endless conversations about how it is being fat in this skinny society, surrounded by skinny palm trees. I remember how she told me to stop flirting with baobei because she is interested in him.
I remember how i told her that she should stop trying to have sex with every man she vaguely has an interest in because that's gross and unsafe. I remember how i told her that she should stop exposing her belly in public because its a huge turn off.
I remember how she pulled me along during our torturous trekking, never letting me fall behind her. I remember how she carried our backpack for all 3 days of trekking because she was so much fitter and didnt want to add on any more burden to me. I remember how we reached the top of the moutain, hand in hand, gasping for breath and taking in the view in awe. I remember how we had so much fun in the jacuzzi, laughing and squashing our huge bodies into one tub. I remember that hug at the airport, when we both knew that we'll never another chance to experience that wonderful friendship again.
Her friendship was so true, so honest, so dirty yet pure. Her laughter was so contagious, so honky and so unglamourous. But she was so generous, so giving and so kind. Her spirit made my days in the states brighter than anything else. She rocked my world.
Oh man...i really do miss her. :( sillychubbytubbypiggy.

Of dreams and reality.
________________________________________________________________
The face was so sharp, i could remember every touch. The conversation was so painful, i could remember every word. The happiness was so real, i could sense it.
I had a dream 2 nights ago. Of a friend from some time back. Everything felt so surreal, i wonder what really happened. I hardly ever dream, and the dream's been bringing back endless memories for me.
It'll be great if one day we could really sit down and have such an engaging conversation again. Remember how we used to be able to talk for hours? Remember how we could talk about everything and anything? Remember?
One day, i wish.
The exams' coming. Next week in fact. Been trying to get down to some serious studying but there always seem to be something happening somewhere that's catching my limited attention. Sis' marriage seems to be causing a lively stir in the house, and there are constant discussions which they want me to be part of too. Am gonna meet my sis' in laws this sunday over lunch. For the parents to meet each other and also to discuss the details of the wedding. The place, the date, the tables etc... Goodness. It's all happening so fast and i still haven't stuck to my diet. Shit.
Can't wait for the exams to end. Can't bloody wait. I just wanna lie by the pool, swim and tan after the exams. I wanna look nice and tan, not yellowish and flabby! Yikes. I wanna just sit down and read a good book, eat a good lunch, sleep a good sleep, watch a good movie. I haven't watched a movie in so long i am ashamed of myself. Goodness. This sem has just been too busy, with sch, church, work and tuition. It was CRAZY!
Alrighty, should get back my my books. Final photoshoot with bestfriend tmr. Gotta get everything done by tmr..cause i gotta return the camera on wed. Hopefully it all goes well. Photojourn can really be great fun when u have the time! I am itching for my own camera...should i?

The end of my TeeVee.
________________________________________________________________
It's official, she left me.
My tv of ten yrs just exploded and left. I thought we were happy together, but apparently she wasn't. It seems i've spent too little time with her.
Last night, at around 4am, while i was doing my usual, dozing off before bedtime, attempting to watch a korean drama while constantly nodding off, my tv went "pop" and switched itself off.
At my state of zombifiedness, i wasn't sure if my tv exploded or God just made the decision to make me go to bed. haha.
Anyways, yep, tried switching it on this aft and its not working. So i guess my tv's dead. I've had it since sec 1, and mom says her time is up. Alrighty, thank u for your service.
HOHO! new tv here i come :) Yay! haha. Am gonna choose a bigger one!
Anyways celestial temptation was a blast! Will update more once i get the pics!

Lyric of the month |
Travis - Flowers in the Window
There's no reason to feel bad
But there are many reasons to feel glad, sad, mad
Its just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
But i am here to help you with the load.
Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And i am glad that you feel the same
Cause to stand up i'm in the crowd
You're one in a million
And i love you so, so lets watch the flowers grow.
