Men & Women

Whenever I buy pads and fork out 10 bucks for a double pack or sth, I would think it's so much cheaper to be a guy. And then yesterday I realised they they don't have to buy bras too which is a lot more than 10 bucks each. I mean of course I always knew guys don't have to wear bras, but I was thinking that you know in relationships there seems to exist the dilemma as to whether guys should pay or go dutch, and I realised the money they use to pay for girls' food or tickets is offset by bra and pad cost! So in otherwords, as girls have to incur extra expenses guys should help ease the burden! Hehe.

Okay, I'm not serious, I do not advocate the above explanation. Just felt like updating blog.

Bookworm time

Ellooo. A'levels are over! So's prom and sleepover. Which were nice (:

I spent the last weekend reading harry potter book 6 and 7. And why does everyone have to die!! Oh my goodness, like so many so many. Makes me feel sad ):

Okay, I'm gonna recommend a book for those who wanna read sth during this long break.

Amanda's favourite pick: The Year of our War by Steph Swainston. It's a trilogy and this is the 1st book so yup, not that it's better than the other 2. It's a fantasy, where this guy can like fly and belongs to this Circle of warriors fighting against big monster Insects. Reallyy it's nice! You can read a chapter here www.stephswainston.co.uk/the_books right at the bottom of the page.

So Tang, the lost co-blog owner, and myself have embarked on a long and perilous journey in the form of Diablo II again. That's about it really, haven't done much since exams ended.. mm.

Tetris Mania

A LEVELSS! Wheee.

Ok, A levels has forced me to find reprieve, and so I sought it and found it in my brother's old gameboy colour ( my cool gold gameboy died ): ). My game of choice is TETRIS! Haha, over the weekend I played it in my room, living room, on top of my brother's double decker bed, downstairs at the landing and in the car. For hours. Dots. I think I've improved (:, I am not(oops typo, i meant now*) the ultimate tetris master. Wahaha. Though I'll probably lose the valuable skill soon after A levels when I stop playing.

Prom, Yc and I had a msn convo the other day about what to wear to prom and I quite enjoyed it. His suggested attire for me:

-school uniform

-funky tie

-wig

Proposed attire for him:

-Bandanna

-Sunglasses

-Leather Jacket

-Beard

He showed me a really gay photo too of the bandanna he had in mind, which I'll include after i get it again.

If you're reading this, you should be studying!

Food forThought? No kidding.

Freshly baked round of focaccia(some kind of bread), bottles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. cheeses: Camembert, Gouda, blue, Iranian goat. Next, steaming wraps that looked like crepes but had a most bawdy smell. Gorgonzola pancakes. There were cantaloupe balls wrapped in thin slices of prosciutto, the fruity orange peaking through the meaty pink. Bastardly plump green olives, fat with red pimiento stuffing, lounged contentedly in a yellow bowl. A plateful of tomatoes soaked in black vinegar with snoy nuggets of brocconcini. Sheaves of Pita and cups brimming with hummus and tzatziki. Oysters, crabs and scallops drowning a wonderful death in a marinara ocean; little wedges of lemon balanced on the plate's edge like life preservers waiting to be thrown in. Pork sausages with peppercorn rims. Dolmathes, trying hard to be swarthy and macho in their little green suits, scented with red wine. Thick rings of calamari. Souvlaki shared skewers with think buttered onions and braised peppers. There was a shoulder of lamb so well cooked it fell apart if you only looked at it while thinking about a fork, surrounded by a happy little family of roast potatoes.

Korean

Love triangles suck. Because even if 2 people are happy the last one is frigging sad! I feel so sad when I watch korean movies because I see both guys or both girls so sad over the one guy/girl! Then I dunno who to side with! And then I hate the way they totally walk by each other but don't see each other, like so close but yet so far! Korean movies make everyone sadd and feel like crying o; So why then do I occasionally watch them? Romantic or sadist?

Weakness!

Hii. Todayy I shall talk about weakness. Everyone has a weakness, achille's heel, or wtv you call it, for something or be it someone. And then we try to resist it buttt cozz we're only humans we have a tendency to succumb to it. Like I was reading Time magazine and it said that will power gets weaker the more you use it. And I think that's very true. Sooo we can't do it alone! We outta ask God for strength to do things that we alone can't do. Also for our own part we should try to avoid putting ourselves in a position where we will have to resist. You guys have probably heard this or sth similar before but hope it helps still!

Press on for prelims and A levels guys! Don't spare the effort and then regret it later. Don't give in to the urge to do other stuff! Too often that is. haha. We've gotta have breaks right??

International Standard Version
No temptation has overtaken you that is unusual for human beings. But God is faithful, and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength. Instead, along with the temptation he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13
See, with God we can! He's totally telling us! (:

Ladeeda, I believe it was yesterday that I went into the master bedroom and locked the door to change. And just as I was finishing my bro came out from the adjoining toilet -.-
Nothing happened but it's really kinda lol.

Oh dots, Yeong Chuan is a weirdo! Haha. He was telling me about how he was walking through a quiet terracy kinda neighbourhood. And I guess he got lonely or sth, and instead of talking to himself like a normal person(haha) he decided to bark!?! And then all the doggies there barked back. Haha. Guess they speak the same language :p

Videos

Hellooo peeps! I bet everyone is busy studying for prelims. But the fact that you're here probably means you're looking for some reprieve. So watch these!

- After Michael Jackson died everyone sorta went on a michael jackson frenzy. I guess it all shows we never appreciate people while they're alive! Right right? So I found the video kinda amusing cause their dancing is sorta like slow mo compared with mj himself and really random(in the middle of a wedding reception).

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY CHOO!<3

To my dearest Choo,

Where would i be without you? For it surely must be fate that led us to have the same surnames, be in the same secondary school and JC, to be in the same CCA and partners and to be put in the same class in JC. Those were really happy times (and more to come!). I hope that you're the happiest person in the world today even without BB because you have Chee, Tai, Chow and ME (of course)! yesterday was really fun and stress relieving, aren't you touched that we skipped maths lecture all because we went out with you, choo? tsktsk, what naughty kids we are, so unbecoming of us. awww i really want to eat tai li lin's chocolate why she never make for me ): anyway, make sure you use our present daily and soon a certain someone will be detached from his bonds and come flying over to you to bind to your receptor proteins because you are a much stronger ligand thus will displace the other ion due to the shining rays of your ever-so-blinding beauty. He Whom I Shall not Name shall fawn at your foot and you shall take him in in your gentle arms(though he is younger than you but yes, let him fawn).
lastly, all the best for your prelims and A levels!

LOVE,
J.Cho

18th

Helllooo! I just wanted to say thank you to all my friends who msged me, and gave me cards, presents and a great time in school today! I really do appreciate it (: (: (: (: I used to complain about having my birthday on a school day and not during the holidays or weekend but for the first time ever I'm glad it was a school day so I could spend time with everyone!

GOOD AFTERNOON BACK!

Goodness! Jia Yi! Stop lying to mee. haha! Shit so funny, thank you for posting choo (:

Isn't it only in Singapore you get: A 60 yr-old aunty speaking mandarin, cantonese and hokkien in the span of just a few sentences. So quaint.

Recap of month of July:
- Poke my eyes trying to take out contact lens when I'm supposed to be putting them on. (I'm sleepy on school mornings!)
- Throw my nice orange socks in the kitchen dustbin instead of the washing basket by accident.
- Go for MEP concert where I managed to catch chow pei pei in her moment of glory!

GOOD MORNING!

Hello(:

I love you Choo <3
BomBom loves you too!

High

Haha, did I say I was "troubled" thinking about the significance of relationships? Lol. I haven't been thinking about it so I am officially no longer troubled then! Was just a phase of thought.

Oooh, I just realised I have a post titled "Low" in nov of last year, whatta coincidence eh? Haha. (Inside joke)

Btw, bio students, don't you think X-gal sounds like some kinda super hero! Like a part of X-men or sth! Eq is convinced he knows all about it, and said sth like...... the ring thing who doesnt know? He was actually referring to petri dishes ._.

I realize that this post might not make sense to people. Oh nose. I'm sorry. Haha. Btw, sth totally unrelated is: Goodness I sleep so late! Looking at all my blogging times, a lot of them are after midnight. Tsk. Michael Lo, I dont know if you read this, but looks like my 11.30pm goal wasn't very successful huh.

Whee, I am high! But frustrated with the with-holder of certain desirable information! Hhah. You know who! I have a looking foward to something feeling. But I'm not really sure what about. Hm....... I hope I actually do have sth to look foward to otherwise I'll just be disappointed coz I was looking foward to nothing.

Love Songs

Alotta songs are about love. Is it coz it's the easiest thing to write about or coz it's like the biggest thing ever! Like when you have it, it's bliss, and when you're out of it, you're depressed? Beats me. I guess due to certain circumstances I have arrived at the occasional "think about relationships" time. Not friendships, but relationship relationship kind. And I really don't understand, I feel slightly troubled thinking about the MEANING. I dunno. Haha. I welcome enlightenment (:

Amanda's Analysis of Song Lyrics

Whee blogging is getting boring. Like the last post was ._. Mm, enCOre '09 was fun! Sad co is over already, so fast. ummmmm. Crap I don't have anything to say. haha. I shall just talk about weird songs then. Often I am guilty of liking songs that just have nice tunes, like whatever turns my fancy, or wtv the saying is. Only when I like the song do I bother to search up the lyrics. So anyway, some weird lyrics imao would be:

1) Ronan Keating - When you say nothing at all
"You say it best when you say nothing at all". He's like telling the girl to keep quiet and not talk or sth. Like just be ornamental!

2) Secondhand Serenade - Fall for you
"Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you, over again. Don't make me change my mind" Shouldn't it be.... you'll never change your mind no matter what or sth? It's like he's saying that um, she had better be good otherwise he's not gonna like her anymore ):

3) Shayne Ward - No promises
"Baby.... I just wanna die in your arms" Um?? Is that supposed to be romantic? It sounds pretty creepy to me.

Why does no one tag ):

Random Assortment

1)A notice downstairs read "the Cleaner" and I stood there and laughed at the board coz it was like "The Terminator" or sth.

2) I think I heard the radio ad for tampons go sth like "Maximum insertion for maximum protection!" Er.. Ken, what do ya think?

3) Tang Tang's daddy said I look like a Thai girl today and she heard I look like a Tiger.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?

My friends did this on my gp worksheet. I had a good laugh.
Note: It's purely for fun reasons so don't take this seriously! Yups.

Magnetic Watches Kick Ass.

I don't like to feel silly. Most people don't too, or maybe they don't mind. But anyway that's not the point. I was wearing my expensive watch ($3.95 fr Toys 'R' Us!) thingy today, and it's magnetic. And so, I was talkin to someone and walking along, when i brushed my hair outta my face. and my hand got stuck! Haha, I paused and thought okkkkk, this is gay why is my hand stuck stupidly to my ear? My initial thought(after this looks stupid) was that my Baby G with the spoilt buckle caught on my earrings. And then I realized it was cause my earrings are metal! -_-

I had a good day today, pleasant and enjoyable. Whee. Feeling happyyy (:

Valentine's Day

Helloo peeps.
I had a good time last Friday in school cause we were celebrating Valentine's Day. The atmosphere was cheery and there was music and exchange of small gifts and notes etc. Wanna say the class guys are so sweet! They wrote a note, sang a song(with actions!) and bought us all roses (even though the guy to girl ratio is 1:5). Haha, was really entertaining and super nice of them. And my big brother who bought me a small bouquet of pretty flowers, appreciate it (:. All in all, thank you friends.

Arts night on monday(16/2) was good too. Laughed along and at(haha, it wasn't really his fault cause it was last minute filling-in, but there were also some amusing clumsy stuff like pulling out his cable and dropping his slipper). Tang and I thought jia yi had sth up her sleeve, but it turned out she didn't after all. Falsely accused eh choo? Haha.

Anyway, I was thinking, we all have an impact on ppl around us, so why not make it a good one? Like if we can choose to say sth to cheer someone up or make them moody, why make them sad? Like seriously. There was this email circulated last time.
Summary goes: A nerdy boy was always getting bullied in school. This cool girl knocked into him when he was carrying lotsa books and befriended him even though he was like a loser or sth. Then a few years on, he graduated with some honours or won an award?, and he had to give a speech. And during it, he thanked her for being such a great friend, because he had actually been planning to commit suicide so he had cleared out his locker so his mumma wouldn't have to do it. I missed out lotsa stuff, but you get the gist. Soo, you see! We really really make a huge impact. Let's be nice to each other, even when we don't feel like it, or maybe ESPECIALLY when we don't feel like it (:. Never underestimate the power of words!

It's funny how when you dislike someone, you hate everything about them and everything they do. You can pick on the most minute of faults or nonexistent ones sometimes, and that can feel rather unfair, like taking the blame for something you didn't do. And then when the person you like does exactly the same thing, it's somehow likable. I dunno.

Anyway, holiday was good.
