happy mummy's day !


tra la la. ok shall briefly summarise two days of shopping. yesterday, went to far east plaza and wandered the rest of the orchard area with ying. bought a few things and spent 70 bucks, about half of which was spent on the torn black tee (lol my pet in pet society is wearing one i think :/) and i have no idea what to do with it. i'm starting to think it might be rather indecent. anyway, yada yada, had dinner with family after shopping to celebrate mother's day. today, went to bugis and got headaches again in bugis street. bought a pair of denim shorts but personally i dont think they're ripped enough so... gonna buy another one :D and i plan on buying a pair of shiny black/silver shorts too. i guess that means more shopping :D $.$

ok now to randomly post pictures cause i dont feel like talking about shopping anymore since im broke after this weekend.


randomly just took that shot cause he was staring at me and... being weird.


teehee. i'm quite happy with my current array of random arm thingies but i plan on getting more soon :D

now for the pictures i experimented with on my phone yesterday.


my mum thinks he looks really fierce in this pic :/


random shot by my sis, who has a really strange expression on her face in the mirror


our classroom :D it almost looks like we're having lessons, except it's reccess and pam was doing... whatever she was doing at the whiteboard.


some graces pictures... (actually they're like the only few i have -.-)


teehee. eeeeeeeeyore :D


that's from yesterday's dinner at some restaruant. we were waiting for the food to come so me and my sis took random pictures to amuse ourselves. that picture was "solarised" no idea what that means but i like the end result. and because of the restaurant's design i almost felt like a hogwarts student, what with the cool stone fixtures and my pseudo-robes.

turns out, the makeup i bought for graces isn't going to rot because...
my sis is going to use them o.O

i want mango legs!

my gosh, i was supposed to be asleep a long long time ago. but then my sis annexed the com from me for 1 whole hour, during which i spent exploring the photo editing functions in my phone (fyi, they're actually quite interesting, and i think i'll post the pictures when i have time).

anyway, the main point is: WHY AM I STILL AWAKE?????!

oh. because of the skin. or rather, this skin. it's amazing isn't it? not the skin, but the fact that i've actually changed it after what? half a year (?!!!). so even though i said something along the lines of "i'm going to sleep by 10 and to heck with everything", i'm obviously still awake. to heck with everything indeed.

and no ying, i'm not going to blog all about today because i'm too lazy to too :D (zzz all the toos sound funny together). maybe i'll combine everything into a mega post tmr but for now, i need to sleep! (and wake up my doppleganger to so she can do my homework. ... right, i wish.)

i have just been shortified.

finally, after such a long period of abstinence

AHHHH FANFICTION HAS ME HIGH CAUSE SNAPE IS SO FREAKING HOT YAYYYYY!

teehee. i'm so glad exams are over. now i can indulge in fanfiction and but i'll have to attempt to ignore homework without getting into too much trouble.

anyway, i can't rmbr what i wanted to blog about so shall just try and recall how i've spent the last few days... only a very small portion of which i was asleep (bah i am so going to sleep for a full 48hours straight during the june holidays. oh how i wish they'll come faster)

anyway, hmms i finished a math paper for the first time in my 4years in nanyang. like i usually run out of time and end up with several questions undone or partially done. but for the first time ever, i actually finished everything :O on the downside, i also made lots of careless mistakes so that sort of kills the joy of it. what a jolly time for the powers that be to rain on my parade.

and physics on wednesday was quite bad, cause there was just too little time to prepare. lots of careless mistakes too, and almost didnt finish the paper. and usually the amount of time a person spends preparing for an exam is a lot more than the duration of the exam itself, but this time... it was only about 3-4hours more. which is quite pathetic considering some people (looks at the scary muggers) spend a few days preparing for an exam. but of course, that's how they do so well in the first place so kudos to them. i just cant mug anymore. my brain falls asleep and my subconscious goes off to hunt for a magical pixie horse to throw at pam.

anyway, after the paper half the class went to island creamery to celebrate the end of blocktest1 (finally!). randomed for heavenknows how long and with ice cream (mmmmm~). all things considered, it was quite a nice way to mark the end of the tests.

unfortunately, our teachers seem to be rather heartless and now there are chinese book reports, language art essays and math portfolio reflections to do. (note that they're all in the plural form.) oh well. i shall continue to do what i've always been so proficient in and ignore those giant blinking neon signs yelling DO YOU HOMEWORK. (they're in my head of course, which is honestly quite a frightening place)

my brain is going to spontaneously combust

urgh. math. urgh. math.

it's screwing with my head and sooner or later, my cranial neurons are going to short circuit and i'll start spasming on the ground. during which the spasmodic contraction of skeletal muscles will generate more heat and i will stop freezing to death in my 25degrees celsius room. at the same time, the continuous violent slamming of my head against hard surfaces will knock bio into some corner of my brain so i can stuff math in.

or i can just hope for a miracle so i can pass tomorrow.

sigh. i suppose it should be clear by now that i'm obviously exam-phobic. urgh. just typing the word gives me headaches. but of course, exams are necessary for the world to function and most of us will be living as farmers without them cause there'll be no meritocracy and the rich will only get richer while the poor live a poor miserable life.

ok fine. so i secretly love exams and just thinking about it gets me high and that was a groan of pleasure, not pain. (then again, who says the two can't come together)

ahh scratch that. pre-exam stress obviously doesn't do much good for my mental welfare -.- and since just block tests are making me freak out, i suspect EOYs will send me into a full out panic attack while chinese O's will result in a nervous breakdown leaving me going "gah? ga ga goooo~~" for days. (on the other hand, it could turn me into a sudden chinese genius and i will write the next butterfly lovers story in my paper 1 and do so well i don't have to take chinese in jc. ... right. i wish.) (and lol, lady gaga)

eeps. there's still the A levels, if my delicate disposition even survives that long. i think when A's come i will undergo a complete shutdown and run off into some corner of my head to play chess with myself. or, i could have turned into a rather messy pile of human innards.

any more and i really will combust;
suddenly and violently and all over the place.

too little too late

watermelon = 我的美人?

went for dinner with father's side relatives today to celebrate mother's day. ate way too much and now i'm feeling overbloated. and my sis was being annoyingly vain, planning out her outfit yesterday then getting my mum to help her with it today. in the end the top changed several times but she was insistant on wearing the skirt -.-

and pardon me if i'm being stupid, but having no such experience in this area, what the heck is the deal with boyfriends?! even she is all hyped up over them and she's three years younger than me -.- and she ranted to me about it and how is not having a boyfriend a crime? sigh.

i think i was meant to be a starfish.

and i think i'm going to attempt not eating meat for one week. and i think i'm also going to study for my math paper tomorrow. and i think i'm also going to screw up the math paper. and i think i'm also going to organise my life. and i think i'm also going to screw up my life.

You can't force yourself to forget something,
because the only reason why we forget
is when a better memory has taken its place.

memories

i'm feeling rather confused over what i'm feeling right now. (excluding the fact that ITSFREAKINGHOT, that i'm sure) anyway, i was viewing old posts just now, and i realised so much as changed...

but thats not the reason for the post title. or at least, not the only reason. i'm trying to find a youtube video that someone made for his fanfiction (trailer perhaps?). i remember it being really nice and tear-jerking but i just... can't remember what it's called. it's a severus/harry fic i think (what else could it be lol) and the song used was memories by within temptation. and now everytime i hear that song i just remember the feeling the video gave me (don't ever doubt the power of words, visuals and music alone or combined).

sigh. and... i guess there is another reason.


i miss having to pick your fur from my clothes. i miss having to sleep in awkward positions so as not to wake you. i miss having to carry you in when you get stuck outside the window. i miss being woken up at 4 in the morning to let you out. i miss seeing you scare me by suddenly jumping in through the window. i miss having to chase you around the house. i miss seeing you all wet when you have your bath. i miss the occasional scratches you gave me. i miss having you to hold. i miss the feel of you in my arms.

you have no idea how much i miss you.

The memories ease the pain inside,
now I know why.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

Made me promise I'd try
to find my way back in this life.
I hope there is a way
to give me a sign you're ok.
Reminds me again it's worth it all
so I can go on.

ah i see!

it's another one of those days where i'm wishing for something i clearly can't have unless i do something expensive/dangerous/insane. and today, it's perfect eyesight.

one heart attack ago, i was happily returning to my room after the shower when i stepped on something extremely squishy on the floor and totally freaked out. then i looked on the floor and couldn't see anything. then i bent to looked closer and saw this... translucent thing. at first i thought it was some new yeast-insect-something hybrid and promptly fell on my ass in utter horror.

then i put on my glasses and realised it was a piece of plastic wrapping -.-

depressing much.

finally, my first flame

or not.

i suddenly recall that some other person might have came along and spammed my tagboard just like you marison. but either way, flamers make me really happy for some currently unknown reason.

so dear flamer, thanks for your honest though irrational comments and you can just pretend this post is dedicated to you if it makes you feel better. and as to you being someone i know, i highly doubt it. judging by the level of intelligence of the people i do know and your astoundingly limited vocabulary, it just isn't possible. so do the world a favour and just get out of the gene pool.

Zachary David Alexander "Zac" Efron

LOL that's chrissy's work. (and i think i like this one better than the one of snape in a frilly wedding cake dress o.O) and... lol jo.
Joey. says:
pink and purple!
ahaha.
damn hot
as in
the room
not him.
anyway, went to watch 17again with jen and ying today. considering how i've not done my work despite the time, maybe i should have followed zinc's example and gone home instead. but regardless... zac efron is quite hot :D (though he does have one mouthful of a name). butwhattheheck... yeah. then again, his features aren't that great, except he has interestingly shiny eyes (i wonder how that works). but he looks quite good in the movie (teehee) and the movie... is not bad. i don't really like the ending but it's quite funny. the main character's best friend is some really rich dorky kind of character and... according to jen, i laughed everytime he appeared (and apparently i was also the only one who laughed -.-)

and since i'm still avoiding work, here's some random pictures. (eeps its freaky when my curtain suddenly starts billowing like mad)

the choir girls looking really pretty in their long dresses (and omg the second song was so cool)

robotics session on tuesday... murphy still isn't straight ;D

sigh pretty giant brownie for class birthday... i'm hungry D:

and that's it. i shall go do 《弟子规》 now :(

Can't help it if I space in a daze
My eyes tune out the other way
I may switch off and go in a daydream
In this head my thoughts are deep
Sometimes I can't even speak
Would someone be and not pretend
I'm off again in my world

not for the easily disturbed

hahas ok read the warning above. the pictures just get more and more disturbing but blame my twisted sense of humor. they really are funny if you don't mind visiting to the gutter for awhile :D

















what? i warned you. teehee :D

i hate being short

being around tall people is depressing. being shorter than tall people is depressing. being short is depressing. life is depressing.

...

i'm depressed.

Saturday, April 18, 2009

ooo pointy


my teddy has got some sexy underwear eh? :D (thank queenie for the awesome supply of stickers. she bought this pack of 10 from popular and i was just too tempted to stick this. and i wonder if the little surprise we left is still there. considering what jo told me, chances are some guy in marsha's LDP group must have introduced his ass to our porcs)

anyway, can't rmbr much about friday but went bday present shopping with joey and amy today. there were lots of retarded things and it took us hours to decide on what to buy. but i don't really regret it cause we saw some really cool things.

this was some random lamp in a shop at raffles city and it was so cool. i wanted to get that for queenie but joey being the voice of reason, reminded me about these all-powerful beings known as parents. pity that. (oh but the shop had some really nice bracelets and i think i will get one once i've saved up enough :/)
(screw crediting; these are from google :D)
anw after a lot of random stuff we ended up at plaza sing to meet amy and i want spikey-ish earstuds! we were at 77th street and there were a few really cool pairs but omg soexpensivewhy! they actually had those dangly spiked balls at 7dollars but... there are so many things i want to buy i can't decide what to spend my money on :(



k we went to a lot of places today (library - raffles city - plaza sing - cathay - bugis) and that was between plaza sing and cathay. they were having some kindness week event and the mascot was so cuteeeeeeee. and joey was like omg that guy's popping and convinced me to go take a picture (and video too!) of the mascot. in the end we got persuaded into sort of giving them our emails (to sign up for a newsletter? i dunno) and got to take 3 shots with the orange bear/cat/what? so we each got a pseudo-polaroid to keep and some book on... kindess o.O

bloody hell that's torture

i just finished reading this book jen lent me (boot camp by todd strasser) and the story pissed me off so badly... i have no idea where to start. but since the langarts/ih essay writing techniques have been as thoroughly drilled into me as the importance of brushing both the front and back of my teeth, i shall do this in a somewhat systematic manner.

for starters, BLOODY&*%$*%@)!!&%!@SHIT. people who start boot camps are utterly inhumane opportunists. they take advantage of parents who somehow aren't sastified with the way their kids turned out. so if they cant raise them properly, then why not pay someone else to do it? they don't even have to get their hands dirty! mygoodness, if some camp requires you to sign contracts giving them the right to dual out physical punishments then if you had any brains at all you can propably figure out what's going to happen. BUT THEY STILL DO IT ANYWAY. urgh!

yet people have all that debate about abortions and all that crap about the sanctity of life and here you have parents who willingly give permission for their children to be tortured and be beaten up and put through immensely cruel regimes. all this because their kids aren't what they wanted. so blahblahblah they send their kids off to the camp and they don't have to worry about their conscience since they're not the ones humiliating their kids and stripping them of any self-respect they might have had. all this because they want their kids to be of a certain mould and effingcraplikethat. if life worked that way we'd be buying zygotes from the departmental store. oh, what colour would you like it in, ma'am?

and i'm not done ranting yet. cause sure the people who set up the camps are the most money-hungry, greedy, low-life-ass-kissing-butt-licking bastards ever but the parents... whatthehelliswrongwiththem! children are not their property and whattheheck definitely not their second chance at life or anything like that. so what if you screwed up your life? who cares. that doesn't give you the right to dictate the life of your child. bloody give them the right to be who they want to be and if they want to screw up their lives too, then too bad for them as well. don't do that "ive been there and i know everything already so shut up and listen to me because you're opinion doesn't matter" shit. urgh. and now i'm really just ranting because i've forgotten all the points i wanted to make. and so... screw it. this is so pissifying.

What's the difference between spending your life trying to be invisible,
or pretending to be the person you think everyone wants you to be?
Either way, you're faking.

awesome not?




so after going on an ant killing spree, i decided to browse foto decadent for some skinning inspiration. (weird timing, but better that than cleaning up the tiny carcasses all over my table). anyway, after looking at pictures with varying degrees of artistic expression, i came across a set i saw the last time i was on the site and just like the previous time, i completely fell in love with it. whatever era those clothes are mimicking (and i have no idea which since my knowledge of history is nonexistant), it must have been really fun to dress up. and of course, the last shot had to remind me of severus ;D god, he's hot.

The most difficult phase of life is not when no one understands you
It's when you don’t understand yourself.

spastic much?

HAHAHAHA. ok even though i have shitloads of work to do.... OMGTHISISSOEFFINGFUNNY.





hahas. ok yes, THEY ARE SO FUNNY. you should watch the rest of their vids. *continues to lmao*

live it up without lighting it up

ok... i made a retarded design for some comp thingy... BUT VOTE FOR ME PLEASE LOL.



oh and the image on the site is like MICROTINY so here's a bigger version :D

(and no, that's not a frying pan D':)

Saturday, April 04, 2009

omg i am sunburnt


found that somewhere, and if i'm not wrong, that's big splash at east coast. and from my own attempt at scaring myself half to death on the slide, i can honestly tell you that takes a hell lot of balls to do.

anyway, swimming was fun today :D we played around in the pool and jen try to teach me the butterfly stroke but... that didn't work out. we (mostly me actually) ended up just randomly wiggling around the pool. "i feel like a worm!" and gah relay D: me + addie + jen VS zinc + chrissy + bea in that order and.... we lost :( but playing monkey was fun. it's really funny when addie blocks jen cause addie is like :O tall and jen is... not as blessed in that area ;D

and the current promotion for pizzahut is actually quite worth it. we ordered two regular pizzas + 6 piece drumlets and it was... 28.20? except i think the guy gave us the wrong flavour but itsh ok. after eating, we completely ignored the dont-swim-after-eating rule and did more wiggling (me and jen that is, the rest were all too civilised to do such retarded things :/ )

oh and zinc is really efficient; her pictures are on fb already :O i'm hoping chrissy will upload cause i wanna see how our retarded cannon ball shots turned out. yay for diving into the pool with jen (L)

and i need to study! but it feels like some time in the afternoon now cause i just slept for 5 hours and i feel like sleeping again. ok actually that doesn't explain anything. point is i want to sleeeeep!

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle

Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show

*sings retarded songs so that they can get stuck in jo's head* :D

dance in your birthday suit


You know what Simon Says
He tells you what to do
What if he told you to
take off all your clothes
and dance in your birthday suit

Sure it’s the latest craze
We all get influenced
the little secret they don’t
want you to know no no

it's been a long time since i've listened to her songs, but omg her shorts are so cool ;D yeahhhh, ass. (i sound like a dirty old man :O) and LOL@thefluffystripedskirt. but regardless, I LOVE THE SONGGGGGG (and her first outfit; and somehow she doesn't look like some avril ripoff \m/)



eeeee the style of this vid is so different from the other one but somehow i like it a lot. and the brain scene is cool :D

and this post is not random k! cause zinc and jen were telling me about this person who got up at 4am and started running around in the nude. apparently he's from some uni or another somewhere in sg and he got expelled. (sad life) and then i was reading the newspaper over someone's shoulder today on the mrt and apparently some other guy went into cheers and flashed (or something like that). and there was a picture of the guy doing the whole, whip-open-trench-coat-with-floursh thing. heehee, its kind of funny in a weird sense though i wonder what's up with the sudden increase in indecent exposure :/

We’re only human
Separated by our thoughts
So hang on to them
or you’ll find you might get caught
Caught up in the

Hey Monkey See and Monkey Do
Must they get brainwashed
by what’s surrounding you
Didn’t you know that
Every little thing’s contagious
Oh yes every little thing’s contagious

sesame street?



i think joey will whack me when she realises i still don't get all that economic hoohaa even though she spent... a long time trying to explain it (it somehow involved eggs and sushi but we were just eating the latter. eggs were the analogy o.O)

anyway the end (bang!) sort of amuses me but where does all the money end up?! i'm guessing they didn't mean it literally that it ends up as shit crap. or they could mean it's wasted, cause... yeah human waste. but i think i'm just psychoanalysing this too much :/

( but blame lang arts! i slept at 6am this morning D: )

( and i realised this is the first time i'm wondering why sesame street is named after sesame. like... why sesame? )

( and i'm surprised that random people actually read my posts : O *waves hello* )

Let people talk behind your back; it just reminds you you’re a step ahead.

have mercy please

i think i majorly screwed up my language arts essay today. i just completely spaced out and i couldn't think and didn't think. there were so many things i could have added, so many different ways i could have phrased a sentence or two to make the whole thing so much better. a few words here and a little subtle direction there and i'd have enough points. but right now, i think i only have 1 out of the 3 i need. and even my counterpoint was badly written and there was a really good quote that i told myself to use before the exam and then during the paper itself i completely forgot about it!
::(::(::(
sigh. mighty depressing. but i guess i can't fix it now so hopefully, the marker will be nice and not be too harsh on my essay. and somehow, reading seems to make it better, since i dont think about it so much. and then there's the quote jen showed me two days ago - fiction gives us a second chance that life denies. How apt.

but still, one down and only everything else left to go. not to forget all the homework i still have not finished, as usual. so many things to do... i think they should just let us have meditation periods during school :/ everything's so hurried and stressful we have no time or space left to think.

i need to wrestle my life into shape. i guess i can officially say i've quit pet society but that doesn't make any difference cause now i'm just using that time to read random storybooks. sigh. i hope i do better for my chinese paper on monday, but since it's chinese... i doubt it.

Imagine how many stories are hidden under just one smile.

Sunday, March 22, 2009

i'msorrybuticouldn'thelpit

i stand corrected. fangirling snape still brings me the most entertainment :D

look up : snape

1. snape [ah who cares about this]

The guy who kills dumbledore
"Snape kills Dumbledore."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU BITCH! YOU BITCH!"

2. Snape [getting better]
A professor at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter books and movies. Notable because of his dubious allegiance to both the good and evil forces in the story. And also because, contrary to what the author's intentions probably were, some fans find him sexually attractive. The actor Alan Rickman being cast as Snape in the movies may have had a bearing on this. [he definitely has the sexiest voice ever ;D]

person 1: Snape is so evil.
person 2: No way. There's clues that show he's good.
person 3: Well I bet Snape's good... in bed.
[hello person 3. i think we have the potential for a lifelong friendship :D]

3. snape [couldn't have said it better myself ;D]

The very sexy head of Slytherin House at Hogwarts. From Harry Potter

Harry Potter has nothing on Snape.
[wise words indeed]

ciao :D

yay twilight bashing!

wahaha, our bio bread is an epic failure apparently, though i have yet to see the finished product lump of unfluffy flour. oh wells, it looked rather sinister when it was sitting alone on a plate with shadows cast around it.
:hilo::hilo::hilo:
and i was supposed to change this skin a long long long long long [xthenumberofdayssincelastyear] time ago. but garhhhh. holidays never go according to plans. so much work i have yet to do! ahhhhh!!!!
:lamagawa::lamagawa::lamagawa:
and since i am doing such a wonderful job of avoiding homework, i shall wander around urbandictionary.com :D and of course, what should provide me more entertainment than twilight bashing ;D (beware of spoilers and naughty words)

look up : sparkly vampire

1. Edward Cullen

Edward Cullen is the hot vampire in Twilight, that fangirls all around the world lust for, and even want him to 'kill' them (meaning to make them vampire)
Kathy - OMG!!! I love edward cullen! he's so sparkly and hot! I want him to suck my blood!!

2. sparkle penis

Edward Cullen's penis in the novel series Twilight. Since he is a vampire who sparkles, it's only logical that his penis sparkles as well.
It is assumed that because Robert Pattison is playing Cullen in the Twilight movie, he will has a sparkle penis as well.
"My, what a sparkly... sparkle penis!"

3. Twilight saga

A freakishly addicting book (stolen from a fan fic site) written by a strange middle aged woman who (has sexual fantacies about this) created this character named ~*~Edward~*~ who *sparkle, sparkle* in the sun light, instead of burting into flame like normal vampires. Then theres his (stupid and patheticly clumbsy) girlfriend, Bella (who's a whore) who falls in love with her BFF Jake then rejects him cause he's (A million times not possesive and dosn't hate himself)not like Edward. And he's a werewolf so Edward hates him. Then she gets knocked up (About 40 billion times (cause she's a necrophiliac whore)by Edward and they make a baby (that wants to kill her). After having Renesmee (a name that was created using a mormon thing where the names of both grandparents are combined) Bella dies and becomes a vampy. Then come to find out Jachob falls madly in love with Renesmee (which makes him a baby fucking pedophile) and Bella gets pissed.
To makes a long, 4 book, story short, the ~*~Cullens~*~ *sparkle, sparkle* have this big war that naver happens against the (old wrinkly leader people) Vertolli (sp?)and they all end up loving (the evil little Mormon critter) and everyone lives happily ever after (forever and ever and ever).
Bonny- "LIEK OMG! I READ THIS FAN FIC CALLED THE TWILIGHT SAGA ABOUT A GIRL THAT'S LIKE EVERY OTHER AVERAGE GIRL IN THE UNIVERSE WHO MEETS A PRETTY SPARKLY VAMPIRE AND THEY FALL IN LOVE AND MAKE A MUTANT BABY! THE END!"

and... there's more but go read it yourself while i go swat a stupid beetle with a 30cm plastic ruler.

the name of the wind

wheeee. i have chanced upon a really nice read. it's the name of the wind by patrick rothfuss and it's AWESOMEEEE. all fantasy readers should read it.

anyway, i'm glad the robotics competition's over, except now the holidays are coming to an end too and i have not done my homework D: surprising? i think not.

anyway, we didn't actually win anything from the competition (except a gold medal for teamwork but that doesn't count) but since it was our first time and we were using a set with missing parts, i'd say it wasnt too bad. the first mission was extremely frustrating, because we could have gotten the full 25 points, if not for some minor glitches. after the competition we borrowed the playing field for a rerun (without changing anything), and the robot ran fine. pity that.

the second mission... was a goner. there was really no way we were going to even complete half of it. basically the scenario was: a volcano erupted. people ran away screaming. some important governing organisation wants to check if there are any people still in need of rescue and so they want to send robots to check because the terrain is not safe for humans. that was mission 1, which was to programme your robot to navigate the playing field, passing through the check point, then returning to home base. after that, they found that there were no people stranded. they did one last check and sent a plane. the pilot lost control of the plane and ejected himself before the plane went crashing to the earth. so... now we had to rescue that stupid pilot, which made things a lot harder cause we had to drag him back.

in the end, only one team managed to save the pilot, that team being the one from hwachong -.- but screw the stupid lego man with no hat. he deserved all the crushing, rolling over and general torture he received from malfunctioning robots (and our team)

anyway, time for pictures because i'm too lazy to type and i wanna get back to my book.


see that thing in the middle? it's a light bulb, try turning him on ;)

"do i look chio?" - the funny facilitator in the striped polo tee

the poor pilot who had to climb his way out of the (makeshift) volcano after (evil) NY girls threw him in :D

and our robot from hell, which we named murphy (and completely wonked out on us during the second mission, but i guess we were asking for it by naming him that)

all in all, not a bad holiday i guess. back to my book now. (and i've decided to name my ipod kvothe after the main character in the book :D)

i'm in love with movies

i had a post for yesterday but jen interrupted me mid post by calling and then i fell asleep. so... can't remember what i wanted to say.

anyway... movies, yes. slumdog millionaire is really nice and there's awesome bollywood dancing at the end ;D whoever has not watched it should. and then... the curious case of benjamin button is also good, except it's sad and made me cry. but i shall not give spoilers so even though i really wanna rant about it, i won't. basically, it's a really sad love story and i have now officially joined the ranks of the hopelessly romantic.

and i've also finally watched twilight and even though i'm not a big fan, the movie actually wasn't too bad :/ ( except bella is waaaaaay too pale to be normal. and she needs to enunciate D: i could barely understand what she was saying. )

and watching three movies without subtitles made me realise i might be hearing impaired. i had a hard time catching some of the lines in both twilight and benjamin button. but omgosh it rocks to have a phone that can play movies :D now i shall jump start my ipod classic so that i can play mp4 movies on it, heehee. oh speaking of my ipod, what should i name it? so far there's silas the awesomest laptop, zaniel the sexy handphone and caleb the thumbdrive who is lost somewhere in that giant mold on my table. right now i'm considering liron but it sounds weird :/

and i got my ipod wrappppped! the skin looks... kinda weird actually and i'm having a few regrets... but whattheheck. it would have cost me 50bucks but since i got that voucher thingy i paid 10, thank god. 50 bucks is... the price my sis paid for her handphone, which happens to be exactly the same as mine -.- (and i paid 248 for mine because i got mine last year and gah starhub is a major piss off. but nvm, i love you zaniel :D)

anyway the skin isn't too bad right? i kinda like how it has so many colours :D

The only truly painful goodbyes are the ones that are never said and never explained.
