i mean yeah great, VJC is the perfect school for me and all...
BUT IT'S IN THE EAST!!!
well, blame myself for even putting it there in my choices. i really thought it wouldn't matter cos i thought there'd be loads of Victoria Sec ppl affliating into that JC.
Mom bought a some cacti - 7 cacti to be exact - and i got to choose one to put in my room! So i chose Cassie cos she has that red thing on top. and RED is my favourite colour!
I'm writing this entry now with a headache - from all that roller coaster rides my head has gone bonkers. I feel like i'm having a hangover or something. But still i wanna write it all out before i lose the memories:D
So today, on the 25th of Jan the M M S B went to USS~!
haha we all met up at CCK at 9.30pm and reached there only at 10.30 plus. We were all tapping in with our ez link cards to take the monorail to USS, THEN monkey just had to go down all 4 levels of escalators to top up her ez link card. So we got Mermaid and Smiley to head there first to buy the tix while i grudgingly accompanied the monkey down 4 levels of escalators to top up her card, go up the same few escalators and board the monorail to USS. so troublesome! but being the good hearted person i am, i followed her:)
The rides were all awesome. we went to the Lights Camera Action studio hosted by the genius Steven Spielberg first. Then we got onto the Cylons Battlestar Galactica Roller coaster cos of Yinghui's insisting.
It was funny the first time we sat on it cos before the ride pulled off from the station, i was telling Weihuan "weihuan...i damn scared leh omgggg" then suddenly the stupid ride went clack clack and i was already screaming my head off. And i was screaming weihuan's name. REPEATEDLY. i didn't even realise i was doing that until like the later half of the ride and i was like "WTH AM I DOING"
i totally let the whole world know of Weihuan's existence. Gosh.
And i didn't open my eyes at all. After we got off my legs were like jelly and i couldn't walk straight. then the girls were like laughing and asking what's wrong with me, screaming weihuan's name out like crazy.
After that ride i was so freaked out i kept asking smiley at every ride how scary the ride was going to be, to which she always replied " You'll know when you ride it" I bet she enjoyed making me suffer like that >< Mermaid joked that on every ride i get on i should say hi to the person sitting next to me, ask his/her name, and scream it out like how i did on the Cylon ride. Ouch. But ahahahahaha the weihuan bit was funny.
After that we sat on the roller coasters a few more times : 4 times on the Egyptian Mummy ride, 2 on Human Battlestar ride, 4 on Cylon battlestar ride... in addition to the Accelerator ride, the Jurassic Park boat ride, the Jurassic Canopy ride, the Transformers 3D ride, the Lights Camera Action studio and the Shrek 4D theatre.
I finally managed to sit on the Battlestar rides with eyes WIDE OPEN and without screaming someone's name out. In fact i ended up laughing really badly at the end of each Battlestar ride and the girls said i've lost my sanity. We played till 7 and had dinner at Mcdonald's at Vivocity before heading home...the M M S B all tired out :)
Haha i know this MV's been around for quite some time already, but i can't help thinking it's CUTEEE. Not that i mean ONLY the guys are cute, but the whole concept of the MV. Bloody hell, which guy actually cheers up his dumped mate like this in real life? They'd go "Why are you moping like a lil bitch, buddy? C'mon, let's play basketball."
Nowadays i see lotsa girls moping over stuff like : weight, appearance, guys etc.
Annnndddd i wanna say some stuff about these!
First of all, weight problems. I'm cool with girls who exercise and diet for the sake of health. But isn't it a lil overboard to be motivated by wanting to be super skinny for appearance?
I mean, gosh, know your limits! Some girls shrink so much that it kinda scares people.
Anyway i'm not one to talk. I do understand the notion of wanting to slim down and fit into that dream dress/pair of skinnies.(that's why i wanted to aim 40 plus kg in my resolutions) but then again it's good to find out what's the optimum weight, like tall people can't expect to hit 40kg etc. Speaking of which, i think i'm a hopeless case. i've absolutely no motivation to slim down.
Yeah, people do hint now and then that i've grown bigger, and i just laugh and say Yeah, i know i got fatter. I mean, you'd never imagine i used to be a dancer with a slim figure when you see my stocky appearance now. But what matters most is that i'm not upset at being fatter than the other girls. And i have enough confidence to admit that yes, i AM fatter. i feel sorry for the girls out there that get pressurised by friends, boyfriends and self pride and start to shirk when weight is concerned. People should love us for us, not the number on the weighing scale.
But if you're snacking unhealthily, it's time to stop. Yes, you, Samantha Leong.
Next, GUYS.
Okay, so some girls just can't get over that one guy who: has horrible characteristics, but you're just smitten with him. For days and weeks and months and years even. And that guy may have been shitty to you (in your opinion, but the guy has his own side of the story). And because of some misunderstanding, you and/or him are left hanging so you can't seem to stop thinking about him.
Okay, yes i've been there before. And i'm not going to laugh at the girls who are going through this unneccessary pain. But when time goes by and you look back, you realise that in fact it was no biggie! Like such girls, yes, there was a stupid misunderstanding which none bothered to clear up in my situation and it went on for 2 years. But stuff like that needs some form of CLOSURE.
By closure i mean AKA ending for the story you started. Like it or not, it's best to clean things up, get refreshed and allow both yourself and that guy move on. In my case i had to work with my ex in my CCA, and although we still do squabble, we respect each other and move on with life.
It's tough situations like these that helps us gain better insights on stuff like romance and all. And in my opinion, i think it's still too early for romance at this age. Not because i'm all grannypants and what shit, but because we should enjoy singlehood and freedom. I think us younger people either tend to be more insecure so we'd tie each other down, or be so careless that we let the person slip away. It all ends up in unhappiness, which is uncalled for at our age.
WHO NEEDS GUYS WHEN YOU HAVE BEST FRIENDS!:D is what my stupid heart is screaming now.
Whether it's weight or guys, GIRLS, NOTHING'S OVER! the next time anyone comments on your weight, smile your most dazzling smile and proudly say yes, i AM that. Because you should be true to yourself. the next time you see the person whom your heart still aches over, man up and create a closure before preparing for the next story.
I'm so bored these days, and i have myself to blame cos i just can't get my ass out of the house.
It's not that i don't have things to do - i need to go Bugis to buy New Year clothes and accessories...and i need to really buy a good pair of earphones.
But staying at home feels so goooood. When it gets rainy i LOVE to sleep, and when it's a lovely warm day i like to lounge on the sofa and read/watch Running Man on my laptop.
Like today, the weather was superb. I've always liked seeing skies that are very very very blue, and everything's like high definition and all. So i woke up at 11pm (wowwww) and had a brunch, then spent the next few hours watching anime and running man while doing some household chores in between (like hanging the clothes etc)
Yes, i know what you're thinking. i'm such a lazy girl, so lazy i shouldn't be called 'Sam' but called 'Snorlax' instead.
Anw besides that the M M S B had a discussion todayy~ lol M M S B stands for Monkey Mermaid Smiley Birdshit - the code names for Weihuan Huimin Yinghui and myself.
Yes, i was christened Birdshit because of the unfortunate accident back at the Sec 2 camp where lucky me got hit on the head by a bird missile in front of my camp team mates, and i ended up dashing to the toilet to wash my hair, very embarassed indeed. I still remember the stupid camp facilitator guy. When i muttered that i need to go to the toilet cos of the birdshit he totally burst out laughing. I. REMEMBER. YOU.
So i suggested we all go hang out before 31st Jan comes, and asked if they were interested in ice skating (YIPPEE) but the Mermaid and the Smiley were too scared and Monkey was worrying about not having enough bananas to pay.
Then i suggested going to USS cos i had this offer that allowed us entry at cheaper prices. Now everyone was excited but Monkey said we could go without her cos she no money (who ask you never go work and earn money!) And so the lovely angelic Birdshit offered to pay some. So in the end we decided that if Monkey can go, each of us will pay 10 bucks each while Monkey herself will pay the rest - and this would be her belated bday present! Now we await her response.
Haha this was a long post, so i apologise for boring whoever actually reads this. I'll end off with a pic of myself and my dog, the Hotaru (firefly, my blog name) and the Inu (dog)!
lol it's monday morning and i'm having the hiccups. later i'll have to go to the supermarket
cos I'M GONNA MAKE CARBONARA~ haha it's time to apply what i've learnt at my workplace. Hope it ends up edible :)
soooooo ytd was my last day of work! haha i'm gonna miss all the funny people there and their jokes, like my boss said :( BUT it's not the last i'm seeing them!
Stella, my married eldest sister and my bro-in law Weide met some German back packer 2 years older than me during their anniversary trip to Australia (down under!). Apparently this German guy's planning to drop by Singapore for a holiday, and Stella was saying i could bring him around (and she cheekily added that this could hook us up >:O)
haha so if this German guy does drop by i'd prob take him to my workplace for dinner! Or i did promise my Wanxuan i'd bring her there someday to eat! so i'll def be back to Cacio e Pepe.
Lately i've been watching Princess Hours aka 궁 (Goong)
haha i'm watching it on Youtube WITHOUT subtitles!
not because i think i very zai or what, but the subbed episodes streamed online are not complete and take long to load. and i hate giving up halfway when i have interest in it. so i'm forcing myself to watch and understand with what meagre Korean knowledge i have.
As you can see, Song Jihyo from Running Man is there! but i don't like her character in Goong ): The two princes aren't exactly the best looking, but their charisma...*mouth waters*
haha i've nothing to do now so i'm gonna post something...for the heck of it :D
Ytd was the last day of the JAE process! well all i have to do now it WAITTTTTTTTT....
again.
till 31st Jan for the results.sigh. all the waiting's making me tired and irritable. But i'm most likely going to a JC. and that means i've to dye my hair back to black ):
ANYWAY~
for this post i'm gonna make a list of things i wanna do for 2013 (although it's way past New Year's but it's never too late to make resolutions!)
so...in no particular order (cos i'm typing it out of my head) :
1. COSPLAY AT AFA 2013~ *kyaaaaa* ( i wanna meet KANAME)
2. ummm...do well in JC?
3. Lose weight and hit 40 plus kg.
4. haha make a Twitter account like finally? (yeah that can wait)
5. be fluent in conversational Jap and Korean.
6. Make as many good friends and as little enemies as possible
7. Fill up my sketchbook with moe and kawaii lolitas and anime girls. (i'm taking terribly long for this particular sketchbook as compared to my previous ones)
8. to stay single~ (SJ: "sexy free and single~" LOL ok i'm not sexy at all)
9. Find what i'm looking for in life
10. Play RE6 at least once... :(
etc etc
YEAH! so since you see this post from yours truly, it means yours truly is ALIVE!
yup ytd was the release of the results. Well... i didn't get 5A1s and above like i hoped to, but i did well! A single digit number:D lol now im kinda regretting that i dropped HMT last year, cos if i just held on i'd have gotten 2 more bonus points.
But i'm still satisfied with my score, considering i slacked so much and only started cramming at the end...kinda like my fav anime character in Lucky Star, Izumi Konata:
Hehe Kona-chan is a gamer too! But she's good at sports so that's the part where we're different.
I'm still in this stupid dilemma of choices - POLY OR JC?? I love the poly environment compared to the stressful JC life. But the prob is i don't know what course to take in poly, while i kinda know what subjects to take in JC. I HATE CHOICES. i alr shortlisted my 12 choices but i don't know what order i should put them in - it all depends on the very first dilemma question.
Anw i've been back with my anime frenzy. Ore no Imouto Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai (There's No Way My Little Sister Can Be This Cute) is my fav! Cos i can so relate to the female otakus in it, and esp Kuroneko, the girl with long black hair and bangs. And i ABSOLUTE LOVE older brother complex animes! Makes me wanna have an older brother ):
I've also started drawing again. Prob will post some of my new drawings soon.
haha alot has happened so far. Time flies by so quickly, doesn't it? AND THAT MEANS RESULTS DAY IS DRAWING NEAR.
somehow i don't feel as nervous as i used to cos 2 months of waiting made all the apprehension i had become numb. so just give me by bloody results and be done with it dammit. -_-
i think all of my friends have stopped working to enjoy the last few weeks of hols... except me. I'm still working! Well i can't really quit now cos guess what....
I'VE BEEN MOVED TO KITCHEN WORK! cool beans~
Yeahhh i might as well be saying i've been promoted but no, i'm still a part timer there, the youngest worker, the bottom of the food chain. GAH.
So now i'm in charge of appetizers, salads and desserts. Pretty fun, i only hate it when i have to use the deep fryer for the damned calamari and the oven for the lava cake cos i'm not a fan of hot stuff ( ever since that i-got-my-calf-burned-by-my-cousin's-motorbike-exhaust-pipe incident) I hate clean up too, cos the kitchen is so bloody hot and cramped.
Anw pretty soon i'd be trying the recipes i learnt at work soon, at home. just that i'd have to hunt for ingredients, and i'm such a lazy person so it'd prob take time and motivation to get my ass out and buy them.
My ex-Drum major also asked if i was interested to go back to school to teach the young'uns (sec1s) marching drills when they start band. (HERE WE GO AGAINNNNNN) it'd be that depressing process of convincing them with little success how fun band can be, making sure they understand the crap you say...oh, and the little punishments of push ups etc. If i do go back and teach, i should tweak my teaching style. Instead of being the nice person that goes "YOU CAN DO IT!" and "are you okay?? Come i help you" like i used to be back when i was still the BM. i'll prob be what they would call a bitch cos i'll be giving them hell. okay i exaggerate, but sometimes ppl listen better if you start off as an intimidating figure.
I should start practising some serious facial expressions alr.
