...ged

I know, I know, I've been tagged...too tired to think of 25 random things to write about myself now.

Will do it tomorrow.

I helped build slightly less than 1/4 of a bouldering wall tonight. I feel a sense of achievement. I have a purpose now. Hallelujah.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Rendered Speechless.

It's that time of the year when never-before-seen relatives poke and pry into your private lives...when everyone acts as though a lightning bolt will strike them dead where they stand if they don't introduce you to your potential "soulmate", normally a "nice girl/boy" that belongs to someone they met at a convention 3 months ago...when F&N drinks are free-flow and bite-sized snacks are rampant and nobody eats proper meals no more...

15 days.

Happy Niu Year.

GongXiFaCai, WanShiRuYi, ShenTiJianKang, NianNianYouYu, BuBuGaoSheng, XueYeJingBu, ShuiLuoShiChu, DaCaoJingShe, WuYanLiuSe, QingPenDaYu, DongNanXiBei...

I bet I fooled half of you with that little string of words there. I bet now you're thinking I can speak Chinese. HA.

I have the best boyfriend in the world. It's no use telling me otherwise. It's an indisputable fact of life. I love you Bee.

Food for Thought? This is worth a Lettuce Leaf.

I don't really have much to say...but writing just keeps my mind busy. And improves my academic discourse skills, of course.

OK. I'm drawing a blank here. I have nothing to say. Give me a few seconds. Something might happen.

Apparently, all's well and boring in my life at this point.

Speaking of boring, thought of this: Given the choice between a naughty (not bad or evil or villainous, mind you) guy and a good, absolutely angelic guy, who would you rather have as a partner for life, barring the love quotient? I say Mr Naughty. How can you have fun with someone who plays by the rules all the time? You can't run wild with him, can't stray from the lines set down by society and the Man. No dancing in the moonlight, no playing booger tag and probably no impulse shopping *gasp*. Meet the end of the world as I know it.

Now I've really run out of things to write. I shall sleep instead. Good night world. Peace out.

MAKEOVER.

My hair has been chopped off. O.o
Ah, well, it IS a niu year (pun intended).
Expect a new look.
Can't wait to dress up for CNY. Yes, I do delight in playing dress-up after wearing shorts and dri-fit shirts 5 days a week. Trust me, the shiniest accessories cannot glam up the PE teacher look.

Many birthdays coming up! Or...have passed...
Best wishes to:
Tao Jing (15th)
Geraldine Kong (17th)
Wei Heng (18th)
Ceekayaxe (25th)
Tan YiTing (31st)

Sorry if I forgot about you but if you didn't tell me your birthday or are not my Facebook (trusty instrument of communication) friend, I don't actually know your date of birth. So, there.

Astounded. Bedazzled. Confounded.

I NEED A LEASH.
I SPENT ANOTHER $200 TODAY.

I AM THE OWNER OF A TIMBUK2 BAG. An item that's been on my wishlist since the beginning of time. I still feel stunned. Like a nerd who's been asked to go to the prom by the school beauty queen. O.o

I am not going to do any more shopping for the rest of the month and in Feb, I will only allow myself to get ONE (1) pair of shoes. That's IT.

Readers of this post, I beseech you to help me uphold the aforementioned promise. I allow you to forcefully restrain either I or my wallet or contents thereof until the item of desire is out of my sight. Thank you.

Marketplace.

I'm officially a minion of the MOE. I have just accepted their bribe of a brand new laptop. So, sue me...LEE KWAN YEW RULES!!!

But, you know, I kind of miss my Mac. It's like an old, familiar, comfortable, smelly friend...or pillow. I forget which.

On a whole other note, my bargain-hunter instincts kicked in today and I bought 2 dresses from one of the booths set up outside the canteen. Fortunately, I spent less than $50 for both, so that's pretty savvy. Unfortunately, I don't think I've finished rummaging through all the stalls. *Somebody restrain that card!*

I miss bee lots and lots...seems like this is cupid season. Everyone's either hooking up or breaking up. The PESS tables in the canteen are such hotspots for gossip now. Abang Caleb's ears are about to fall off, they're stretched open so wide. His sidekick, Yujun Ng, is his satellite dish. Tsk tsk tsk. We're here to study! *psss, next monday, same time, same place.*

Ahem. Does anyone wanna buy an 12-inch iBook with climbing stickers all over the back? There shouldn't be more than a few dust bunnies under the keys and I'm sure if you scrub hard enough, the yellow will go back to white...Anyone?

Wonderful Weekend.

The best way to end a satisfying weekend: Man Utd just crushed Chelsea 3-0. Brilliant.

Why was my weekend so fun, you might ask...Even if you didn't, I'm going to yell it out anyway.

I WENT SHOPPING !!!

Bought clothes (clothe?) for CNY and all the other very necessary umm accessories that I just HAD to buy to go with the really really nice dress that I bought. The money I spent could have fed a cat for a few decades but who cares, I think it's worth it and call me shallow, but accessories are VERY necessary.

AHHH now that I've absolved myself from blowing probably about $400 on dresses and shoes and belts, the sense of achievement and euphoria in suddenly becoming the owner of a little bit more is overwhelming. AHHHHHHH....

The even bester part of all this shopping is that my dear, darling BEE was there with me everyday, all the way. Guys out there who will willingly follow their girls into shop after shop, carrying all the loot from previous shops and answering interminable questions about how does this look on me, hands up. OK girls, see those guys with their hands up? Attack.

Now it's time to go to sleep and prepare to face the daily grind tomorrow. Oh say can you see...the dawn's early light...zzzzzzz

I love you so much bee. Book out soon!

I Took Up Belly Dancing.

Life is yours for you to live.
Why shouldn't you take some risks?

A risk-free, secure life is about as fun as spending your days in a safe. One stick of dynamite and KABABOOM you're broken up. At least, if you're outside the safe, you have the option of running.

Well...7 things I've wanted to do as far as I can remember:

1) Keep a pet snake, name it Verdi and take it on walks
2) Get a tattoo
3) Get navel pierced...
4) Learn belly dancing
5) Get a pair of Heelys
6) Save a whale
7) Safari in Africa or Walkabout in Australia

I think there's more...but I'll keep it to 7 for now since that's my favourite number.

Whatever you do,
have no regrets.
C'est La Vie.

Short and Sweet.

1) Met the AHS dancers (Qian, Cindy and Maine) for dinner today. So much gossip. It's incredible how much I'm unaware of. Bee, remind me to tell you what we talked about. It's as good, or bad depending on my viewpoint, as a Channel 8 drama.

2) Still sick and feeling worse by the day. Bee's right. I should be resting.

3) New, heaven(employer)-sent laptop's arriving on 20th Jan. MOE must really need teachers...
The laptop is a HP Elitebook. Google it yourself.

The sick one is now going to sleep. Good night.

Omens in Snot.

2009.

Started with fights and fire.

5th Jan: School started with lots of rascally germs. I am sending snot loads of the little buggers into tissues as I type this. The flu package also comes with body aches, extreme lethargy and if you have it for more than a day, they throw in a sore throat! Absolutely free!

Well. The snot speaks. It is written in phlegm. 2009? Not a very good year so far. Let's all pray to our respective gods and shrubs that it'll get better.
