After spending a bulk of the time in Taiping, being back in Singapore is quite dizzying. You realize how steeped in technology and comfort we are. (And in reality, how lazy we are)

Maxwell Hill was very FUN. If you dont mind the leeches. And the cold water (pure mountain stream water) together with the redundant heaters. And being isolated from the rest of the world if you dont watch Astro (m'sian cable) Being up there is like having PERPETUAL aircon. And it pretty quiet and restful. (Like having the whole place to yourselves) Pity the only waterfall there is only big enough for you to dunk your butt in (so says the ahpek) Orchid hunting is fun, and you get paid if you have an orchid mad father and and equally orchid mad uncle. :D particularly if you spot orchids on the huge rock they just walked past.

grins satisfiedly.

i love astro. thats the msian cable tv. i love astro even more when the next door neighbour in taiping happens to be your aunt's mom, and has ALL the astro channels. Including ESPN, which is what we go to msia for.

FOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAALLLLL

extremely pleased look. I caught both arsenal versus chelski and arsenal versus wigan. 45 minutes, two halves, and uninterrupted football bliss.

ahhh.

too bad henry's injured.

LIST OF PLAYERS TO WATCH:

ARSENAL:
Cesc Fabregas - this guy rocks. substitue 80 minutes into the wigan game, one cross, GOAL. Also the reason why Arsenal got into Champions league final last yr.
Adebayor - stand in for henry. great guy.
Thierry Henry - the reason why i support Arsenal. The main driving force of the whole team, great goalscorer. YEAH.
Matthieu Flamini - goal against Chelski. What else do you have to know?
Robin van Persie - another Arsenal forward. YEAH.
Theo Walcott - Wenger was smart to snap him up. Grins.

OTHER TEAMS:
Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes (Man Utd): Old, but still better. YEAH
Rooney(Man Utd): Shoots goals like anything
Steven Gerrard ('Pool): Single handledly got Liverpool the Champions League AND the FA Cup.
Didier Drogba(Chelski): You gotta respect this guy. He's banging in EVERYTHING.
Ronaldinho and Deco(Barca): Both brazillian magic. Ronaldinho's the ABSOLUTE eptitome of football greatness.
Eto'o (Barca): Brilliant in front of goal. Too bad he's injured

List of managers to admire:
Wenger - you gotta support your manager, you know.
Jewell - hey, a relegation team like wigan can manage to stay in the top half of the table, as well as challenge the top four, it says something about this guy.
Rikjaard - this guy rules La Liga with Barca

shoot. champions league fixtures look DARN interesting. ahh.

i wish i had astro.

good night, sleep tight,
don't let the bedbugs bite!

i have multiple bites here there and everywhere. i hate bedbugs. dad's going to war with them. i fear i have to sleep on my sleeping bag today. oh dear. the fear is real...we are camping out in the living room. wonderful.

did i mention how much i hate bedbugs. whips out mopiko, zamtech and tiger balm.

holidays are boring if you have nothing to do. passed umpiring, WEP over, lacafetiere is not replying. so officially im just slacking until i have to clean up the mess under my table, which most is going to the rubbish dump. ruthless look. otherwise, i can delay until we come back from malaysia, but still, the ickity bedbugs are making me squeamish. bleach. we caught one as big as my thumbnail today.

bed stinks of bedbugs AND pesticide. pest control pending tuesday, before we drive off to the YES (year end sale for m'sia) and maxwell hill. kinokuniya here i comeee! (in KLCC actually)

umpiring was really erh, nerve wracking, but after being qualified the red polo tee and the sports skirt are hanging in the wadrobe doing nothing. erh. wow. do they have assignments for us? if not my practical skills are going to rot and they will haul me to the questioning table in 2 years time. imma going to get my c badge. sticks out tongue.

ohyeah, ECF was damm funny! hoorah. kelly, i demand an encore production! luckily the woman is taking TSD, how fun!

well. i have made up a list of must read books.

1. The Harsh Cry of the Heron by Lian Hearn
2. The Fourth Bear by Jasper Fforde
3. The Ladies Grace Adieu (or stm liddat) by Susanna Clarke
4. Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman
5. Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
6. Some odd book by Jodi Picoult
7. Good Omens by Terry Prachett and Neil Gaiman
8. Something by Atwood
9. Short stories of Hemingway or any of his nicer books.
10. The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy by dunno who

and x marks the spot. cheerios.

i have been dreading blogging.

starlit night is over, and it was a success, to us. as always, the show must go on, and despite the numerous blips and obstacles and screwups it went on and we gave it all we had and put up a great show. well done everyone.

shout out to all starlit night exco:

wendy- for helping with the bookmarks!

cat- for printing EVERYTHING. thank you! and thanks to your dad too!

wanjoo- for being the naughty angel doorkeeper xD and for counting all the money and helping with the masks!

sianying - scaring people as scream! please thank your mom for the food too!

bel, ching, bren, fei, lingxi - thanks for manning the booths!

and all that made starlit a success!

yay. i hope we left a lasting legacy for the sec threes to carry on. i feel really hollow and empty inside, after pouring so much raw emotion into starlit night, i feel so drained that me lich and cat were moping around today reminiscing.

i'll miss watching rehearsals and dry runs and watching jeanting and val acting! i'll miss reciting, aiyo got blood! to jeanting and everyone around. i'll miss watching mel lim take out her clicky pen and saying "didnt you know, the pen, is mightier, than the sword!" and stabbing jean ting. i'll miss all the funny moments during the rehearsals and watching jean ting fold /collapse on the floor. i'll never forget the part when val said "raoul" instead of "phantom". (and that was how the whole ending came about.) i'll miss walking around with cheryl dressed as the devil and scaring everyone out. i'll miss ushering people into the doors with cheryl and wanjoo, and hearing them scream regardless of which door they went through. i'll miss laughing together with wanjoo about the people screaming. i'll miss looking at wanjoo acting angelic when actually SHES NOT. i'll miss cheryl freaking everyone out totally(including mr lau). i'll miss going with lich to spray paint. i'll miss complaining together with lich. i'll miss all the singing sessions going on in class while im slogging away. i'll miss working away together with all the starlit people. i'll miss watching siti, weishan and chang all performing together. i'll miss listening to the grandeur of the choral speakers. i'll miss all the funny moments we had during rehearsals.

i'll miss everyone of you. i want photos please!

hello. lolx.

still on the freaking ambigrams. digitising them i mean. yawns. and actually just redoing them because i found ways to make them look nicer.

i wanna play soccer. whines. and i thought i found a way to head without getting a bruise but i got it all the same. winces. ouch. everytime i do that my head hurts. mutters. ohwell. my dad was like, why you go and header for what.

oh gen is a good golf teacher! i had two hole in ones. grins. it was damm tyco all the same. cant wait for interclass soccer. but sharyn told me that the pitches are going to be so tiny. hmm? how to fit 20 people there. street netball is just after starlit night. Its going to be kinda fun, because its like, possession. HEH. but we dont have shooters? how? the other team has like 3. ROFL.

quite funny if you ask me. could they just diffuse over?

i have currently devoured the second book of she diao ying xiong zhuan. grins at the cat. can i have the third book? the problem is i'll only get it like, hmm monday or stm. BUT I WANT TO READ IT! cause it stopped at the interesting part where hongqigong is fighting ouyangfeng. on a burning boat. and then it stopped. ahhh. i shall try and borrow it from the library. grumbles. and monday is chinese o's. not really studying at any rate, just reading chinese books and newspapers. i think im going to be so bored that i'll just start either finishing up the PAWNshop book, or just rereading jinyong. AHA. then i can go to the funny zhoubotong parts. It's damm cute, the part where he's using his left hand to fight with his right.

zzz. i better get back to work. sian.

boo. one more week to chi o's, two more weeks to end of school and starlit night. not that i particularly wish it anyway. frowns.

yawns. now its ambigrams. sec twos and ones are seriously nutty: aka, itchy fingers. Its ultimately damm weird, cause i get requests for tamaki intermind theartre, monster tan junior/senior and whitefang938abigail. -.- also gone through weird name phrases. like, hmm, chialynn, alexys and all that. to think that aqquiring weird quirks and nicknames is enough to drive me nutty.

also, i have learnt to write upside down. which is very good for business cause then i dont have to flip the laptop.

btw, BE ENVIOUS OF MY TABLET. heh. grin grin grin. i shall seriously find a way to get adobe cs. and then i'll dl cool brushes. YIPPEE.

boo. just stopping by. before going off to get more glittery again. the whole week has been filled with masks dancing the polka around. by the end of next week, im going to IGNORE them FOREVER. im sick and tired of decorating and decorating, and the stupid haze is making it worse.

yawns. im terribly sorry. i have been grumbling away since the start of this week. things arent looking very terribly bright. i surmise that we wont finish the masks even by next week, which means i have to watch them sashay, saunter, salsa around the classroom for a few more antagonizing hours. argh. why couldnt i have just picked a slacker job (???!!!!) but it will still be the same anyway. my sis says we both inherited the secretly hidden perfectionist trait.

its back to the 3D ones soon. i think im such a cruel monster mel, making my class people slave for nothing. everyday i hear them grumbling i get even more cranky about how come nobody from STN ever comes to help; because they shouldnt even be grumbling about it in the first place. ah wth. maybe its just because the works seems damm daunting. just thinking of the hall alone gives me a friggin headache. i damm hope the other comms are just dammed busy. rant rant rant.

time to zip up. no more infighting allowed (can't even afford it) i shall try not to convey my pissed attitude in my emails. grawh. which is hard. grumble. i need more materials, and msle ow comes and tells us that we should not try to spend too much (eek) so, sigh, i dunno what's going to happen when cat's glitter glue thingy runs out (is there a refill?) all the same, i do enjoy the decorating process just that its too many that its getting dammed tedious. swears.

ZIPPPPP. GOODBYE.

hellooo. in the shaw lab now editing class yearbook. or rather lich's doing it while im slacking. she's now polishing lingxi's face HEHEHE.

eh lingxi, you look damm cute. HAHAHAHA.

we had our last net carn on monday. 408 did relatively well! (at least we weren't rock bottom) but i knew we had some matches that we could have won if i played better and didnt make wrong choices of people. but ohwell. gen was great xP i think she shoots a bit like silei even with her sprained wrist. and geper classes are scary, or at least, super enthu, and thus kinda violent. playing kelly's class i got my glasses knocked off and andrea sprained her ankle. ohwell. grawh. kelly you had better scold your class already. mutter mutter. luckily we had three minute games cause we stood a better chance of winning with a short game given our lack of players anyway.

and the STUPID MILO VAN DIDNT COME. gripes. waaaahhh. and it rained at first, which explains the three minute games anyhow. and i dont like 410 and their players.

ohyeah the netballers won the teachers student games! WHEEE. MSTAN YOUR STRATEGY NEVER WORK LORH. hahahaha. they played a beautiful game - one half step, interceptions, layups and the works. very nice. at secondary school i think you can still play like that because the defenders aren't that great. higher level games are nice to watch but the passing isnt as flowy because the defenders there are much more pro-er.

later tomorrow:
i miss netball..walking past the courts today, then the sec ones were training with ms hainee. then i was thinking about the days when we were training at the laupokk carpark court there, with those furry netballs and we had to drag the blue heavy poles out, as well as ask the security guard uncle to put up the barriers. and the furry netballs kept on rolling down cause the court was at a slant. and sadaf was there, who we were all very intimidated by, and thankful to for her hard training because we then grew into better players under her conditioning. heh. and then we got two new netball courts and new shiny balls and nice poles that we didnt have to move around.

see juniors? you guys are DAMM LUCKY.

eleanor was asking me whether i was going to join the netball main team in JC because its 16 a team not 12, and so, mathematically and logically you stand a higher chance of getting in.

the answer is no though. i dont think i want to go through playing and playing and not getting on the school team, and with that, not improving. im just content to stop at this level, and let myself get carried away by nice memories and leave the striving to the school team to fight it out. being on the border of getting in and not getting in is really unplesant and sometimes heartbreaking and very very tiring. i shall just stick to umpiring and netball will always be the first game that i ever loved and dedicated so much too.

i miss my batch right now, i wish i was back in penang just joking around with them and laughing with ms chng and ms hainee on the bus, and playing netball, stress free and everything. i miss the fun times we had training together, doing ms chng's scary new/fun drills, gossiping during water breaks, playing carnivals, getting sunburnt, cheering at the finals, eating netball dinners, coming up with weird items at netball camp, laughing at all the weird idiocransies a bunch of jokers can get. geri's going to call me a sentimental freak. but still, right now i miss geri's SUPER LAMENESS. (aww geri, aint you touched).

i would give anything to train with them again xD
