My mommy and sister have just returned from a month-long trip to the U.S. of A, bringing back 6 whole luggagi of stuff. They left with 5, in case you were wondering. Anyway the point of the story is...now that they're back....
It's officiallyChristmasin the Toh family household!!! YAYYYYY!!!
We opened presents and (I) popped lots of bubble wrap and there was fun, laughter, peas and joy. :D
My Christmas Loot:
Love (or at least, like) it all. :) MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I gave my family a Wii and sibs and I had fun this morning beating the crap out of some seriously insane rabbids. Awesomeness.
Oh oh oh! AAAAND. Guess who came back to me after spending the past 12 years in America???
Heeheehee. Meet my old bantal busuk! ^^ It looks like a big marshmallow so that's its name. It followed me to America when I went there in '97 and I left it there by accident. Fortunately, I was already weaned off it so I didn't create a huge fuss about it but I still missed it a bit. Now my mommy's brought Marshmallow back!!! YAYYYYY!!!!! I don't think I'm going to leave it alone again when I'm at home. It's so following me to hall. Hehehe.
What a great day. It's nice to have the family back together. And we're off to Penang tomorrow to stay at the Hard Rock Hotel. I'm not jumping off my seat in excitement but neither am I sneering at the idea. I'll miss Bee.
Right. Back on Sunday people. Enjoy this weird-ass video my brother just showed me.

YAYYYY! Woots my gpa actually went up a bit more this sem and it feels AWESOME. *Happy bunny dance*
I'm sorry for all those math people who got slayed by their papers though. I'll say a little prayer for you guys.
Fruitful day today...for once. I took a break from vegetating and met BLAZ at Clementi to do a little Christmas shopping. Then went all the way back to Tampines where, without a restraining hand to caution me, I slipped into bookaholic mode and borrowed 6 books from the library and bought another 2 from San Bookshop to fuel my addiction. They will be finished within the week if nothing else occupies my time. SIGH. I used to spend all my money on clothes, then food, now books. No wonder I've been going hungry these few days.
I've also bought the Most Anticipated Album of the Year! For your entertainment, ADAM LAMBERT!!! *Crowd cheers wildly* He's so awesome. The CD's playing as I type. Even my brother, who eschews anything popular and knows obscure facts about the Conquistadors but doesn't know who's in AI's Top5, thinks that Adam should have won. He, the epitome of nerdhood and pale-skinned DOTA-er, said that Adam was so much more entertaining than Kris, who according to him was boring. My proverbial jaw dropped so hard it punched a hole through the figurative floor.
Anyway. Adam is awesome, I'm happy with my GPA and my Christmas shopping is not quite done. Anybody wanna lure me out of the house?
It seems that every time I have thoughts that I wish to immortalize in the annals of blogdom, epiphanic nuggets of wisdom that I want to bestow upon the world, every time as I open this very page to begin the process of transmuting those transient tendrils into lexical marvels that will somehow drill straight into the neocortex and ignite googols of synapses that will eventually lead to world peace..........................I FORGET WHAT I WANT TO SAY.
It's completely annoying and slightly worrying that I apparently have the attention span of a squirrel on Mountain Dew and the memory of a goldfish with Alzheimer's. Even now, while typing this post, I've deviated from the window umpteen times to check my fish (in Fishville!), my plants (in Island Paradise!), my cars (in Nitrous Racing!) and my ghosts (in Ghost-Trappers!). The things that command my attention are ENDLESS! No wonder there's no space in my head for other mundane things like nutrition.
Well, now that I've clearly strayed from the beaten path I set down upon, I shall just post a concise update of the happenings of the past few days (weeks) since I last put word upon this page:
. @ . # . $ . % . ^ . & . I am burnt to a nice crisp charcoal from cable skiing in Batam and from 2-hour tennis sessions from 10am onwards.
Okay updatey over. I shall go care for my fish now. Peas to you all.
Someone slay me. I'm so bored at home I think my brain just tried to escape my cranium to look for adventure. Tricky things spinal cords; tough to break free of.
Here's what I do all day:
11-12.30: Wake up and crawl out of bed 1-2pm: Mythbusters + lunch 2-2.30pm: Spongebob Squarepants 2.30-3pm: Jimmy Neutron runs while I ignore it and read a book 3-3.30pm: Fairly Oddparents. *Stick those sniggers up your ear. This is funny stuff.*
After Fairly Oddparents, it's a stupid show called Animalia (it sounds like genitalia and seriously, who wants to watch a show with the nomenclature of *taps ear* private anatomy) so I turn off the evil box and read my books. I finished reading Eclipse yesterday and am about 1/8th away from finishing Breaking Dawn. Nono, I don't believe it's because I read fast...I believe it's because I have to fill the huge gaping void that has opened in the days of my life.
All I do at night is retreat into my lair and watch videos. Family Guy, Top Gear, Whose Line Is It...againandagainandagainandagain...Facebook...Blog(s)...
I need to get out of the house.
And I need a sport to do again. And people to do it with. Weirdly enough, I miss dancing.
Oh I caught New Moon with Bee some days ago. It's tough to remember exactly when. You lose track of time when you're in limbo. The sunset of one day may not follow the sunrise you remember...OK enough emo talk.
New Moon was all about...Taylor Lautner's abs. That's it. Nothing else was even remotely captivating about the movie. Edward and Bella were completely mopey and anaemic and everything was so dark and gloomy. Depressing much? Lautner, as Jacob Black werewolf extraordinaire, was the only brightHOT spot in the movie. And poor Bee didn't understand the show at all. Not enough flesh I think. The significance of the Volturi was severely underplayed, considering their importance in the sequels.
Bleah to the movie. I have to say I think Kristen Stewart makes a bad Bella because Bella isn't supposed to be all intense and awkward (okay not as awkward as she is in the movie). She's supposed to be this sarcastic punk with a soft marshmallow-like heart. DUH. I've been trying to imagine Drew Barrymore as Bella. Wish she could be but she's way older than Edward's 109 17 years.
AAAAAND this is why I defected over to the Black Werewolf Camp for the movies.
He is so seriously spicy. ZOMGz I want werewolf for dinner.
You would think I have more time to blog now that it's the holidays but the Irony Gods have once again smited me and I don't actually have that much to blog about because nothing's going on. IRONY.
Anyway the whole supposed "class" chalet ver2.0 at Shaun's house totally flopped because our "class" apparently consists of only 6 people. But we went ahead anyway to watch Arsenal's ass get kicked 3-0 by the buggers in blue. And after the match, while KKJ and SaxBomb knocked out like lights which emit occasional snores, Gay, Shaun, Jacq and I Wii'd for another solid 2 hours before (I think I pressed something wrong) the Wii machine shut down and left us hanging high and dry. We raved like rabbids for 2 whole hours. My biceps actually ache right now.
Of course, tennis yesterday also contributed to the ache of muscles which have gone into hibernation since the beginning of exam period. I really have to start doing something. Okay maybe when I've fully recovered from all the stuff I've been doing to myself, I'll start doing something. Gawd, I miss soccer and rugby.
Now it's time for more Family Guy and Youtube. I wish I had a more interesting post to put up but the Irony Gods will probably send a plague of distant relatives to my house to eat our crops.
