Chinese New Year.

Last time CNY used to be about traditions and relatives and well wishes.

Nowadays it’s all about bak kwa and chocolates and mahjong and blackjack and ang pows.

Correction.

The MONEY inside the ang pows, to be precise.

Kept like $40 as a bonus for myself, and deposited the rest into my savings account~

Wah lau yesterday I had a profit of about $20. Today it has turned into a deficit of $10 :(

But I guess losing to ur own people is alright. Maybe next week I’d start terrorising people when we play.

I hope lah. Maybe myself kena terrorised.

School starts tomorrow. Meeting darksoul, buddy, etc, after school. I know I should probably spend more time on my school work but oh well, since darksoul’s leaving in about a week’s time, I shall not be a spoilsport.

Aye, I was traumatising over my studies last night. A flittering thought passed through my mind.

Maybe I should just go to Business and take a 3 years course. Stay in Engin 4 years, go out with a non-Honours degree, and end up managing my papa’s business?

Does it really make sense?

Aiyah, but after thinking about it and talking about it with jie and didi, I think I better drop the thought lah. I must have more determination. Sometimes I wish I don’t have a choice haha.

Then I’d study harder -_-;;

Chinese New Year Eve.

But it’s past 12 a.m. now so technically it’s already CNY so Happy Chinese New Year! This is the second time I’m typing this entry because as I was finishing it on the last attempt, I closed the entire frickin Mozilla by accident!

How apt that I was saying that I DON’T like Chinese New Year.

Because I don’t like visiting relatives that I barely know and having to pretend that I’m so happy at seeing them. One of the biggest incentives for people during CNY is ang paos, but I ain’t really passionate about them, since ang paos are essentially given to u by ur parents.

But to look on the bright side, there are people that I’d really love to see after so long lah. And of course, must not forget the goodies I’d get to devour. Bak kwa chocolates cuttlefish woohoo!

Shiok.

===

Met up with 163 people today. So nice to see them all again. This time, everyone’s ORDed :D

Well I don’t like organizing stuff cos I’m sibeh lazy but I decided to organize this time cos I know all of them slackers are even lazier than me so if I want to see them I HAFTA jio.

On the bus we also all kena stunned when we turned to the bus beside us and saw this:

====

At first I got fugged by artis for choosing a “wonderful’ day like CNY eve to meet up, followed by several replies consisting primarily of the words “huh, but saturday cny eve leh”.

However, to my surprise, 11 people were present today~

Wah lau, we are even qualified to be arrested for illegal gathering loh.

Speaking of illegal gatherings, there was one point of time I bought drinks and while contemplating the next destination, I sat down at the first place I saw available for sitting, by the side of the road. The rest of them, I dunno why, proceeded to, instead of sitting next to me or something, SQUAT AROUND me. The scene felt remarkably like a chao ah beng tabulating protection money from his various kar kias.

I was like “Wah lau eh!! U all like this make me look like hei1 she4 hui4 lao3 da4 leh!!!”
===

I was so happy that I finally had the chance to see buddy and to give him back his Gundam VCDs, cos I dowan to owe him stuff past CNY, only to realize that HIS LORD OF THE RINGS VCDS STILL WITH ME!!!

Fug!

===

I ran into pearl the other day. She’s my neighbour and studies at NUS too. Quite funny arh, I thought I saw someone that looked like her but since she wasn’t looking in my direction I didn’t chup her, then when I looked again I saw her waving frantically at me haha.

Then we took bus and walked home together. Yay, so cool to have someone to walk home with.

She was telling me she’s holding this stylo milo job, which is like 10 bucks per hour and all u have to do is bring kids out on excursions and teach them some basic stuff like mathematics.

She said they still need people so I might try it out at the end of this semester.

I also realized that there is one weird thing in common about both our parents. They both don’t tell us how much they earn. I was like, “Haha, maybe parents in cashew all lydat one.”

She concluded that our parents are afraid that we will start tellling everyone and we will get kidnapped in the end.

But I think if got people wanna kidnap me, they must be either stupid or crazy.

1) I don’t look rich.
2) My parents will probably call the police anyway.
3) I’d probably kill the kidnappers before they manage to do anything to me.

===

That day I was chilling out at perk point at central library when this bunch of people headed by a gay came to the sofa I was sitting at and the gay asked “Hello, can we join u please?”

And they did. And started rambling, very loudly, about various philosophical issues and weird stuff in general.

Gay: Blah blah blah, some people prefer SM, some cam sex, some (I don’t remember)
Some other girl: Wow what’s all that? I don’t even know what most of them mean.
Me: *Suppresses laughter*
Gay: Oh, basically, well, u know what SM is. Cam sex means having sex when u’re high on drugs, while (etc etc)
Me: *Cringes at the methodical way he lists these categories and wonders if he’s tried them before himself*

After awhile, bm arrived and sat next to me while they carried on with their weirdo conversations. Both of us were silent until they left.

Another 10 seconds of silence after they left.

Then we looked at each other and burst into laughter as she asked “Why u sitting with them?!?”

Me: I dunno!!

Ministry of Sound.

Just came back from there.

It’s super duper big, then there’s all the different rooms, with different genres of music, which I can’t really tell very well either.

Shows that I’m really not a chiongster lah. I don’t dance wad.

That’s why to me, chionging without cigarettes=laksa yong tau foo without gravy. Today cannot smoke cos will kena scolded -_-;; Got quite bored after awhile. Luckily the tix were cheap.

Oh yeah, we saw xiaxue there too.

I think I enjoyed checking out the cars outside than the music inside. I saw a Bentley loh! Frickin big. Alot of people were checking it out too. Sibeh stylo.

We also got very amused when at the guest area we saw 2 Porsches, 1 Merc, 1 Bentley, and finally one Subaru Legacy hiding behind.

So out of place.

And very coincidentally, out of the 5 or 6 engin girls in our lecture group that are pretty, we actually saw like, 4 at MOS today.

NUS vs NYP

Our IVP is pathetic.

We had, what, less than 10 supporters loh. Like, 3 girlfriends and a few other care leh feis like me and bm. That’s it.

Probably due to the fact that Singapore Basketball Centre was at Alju-frickin-far-nied and the only transport we had from school was a bus that leaves at 4 pm.

Oh, the match was at 8.30 pm -_-;;

Well NUS won as expected, but things seemed abit scary in the beginning as NYP got off to a good start.

I don’t like the NYP players.

There were 2 players I thought looked sibeh sia lan and I found out later that they were both national players. My reaction was, “Lydat also can be national player?!”

I also tried to take some pictures, but my attempts were extremely unsuccessful, as u can probably see.

This is one of ‘em SLKs.

The pictures are so bad I don’t even know who’s in the pic. But I believe this is bandar. Pronounced as BARN DAR, it’s not supposed to rhyme with PANDA, okay? He is most probably the best 3 point shooter I have ever seen in my entire life.

Our coach is ang moh leh. So NBA. Other coaches seem quite siao-on; they stand, they shout, they give instructions. Ours looks like he’s just waiting for the match to end leh.

I hope finals would be NUS vs NTU. I would definitely go and watch.

Kung Fu masters

Looking through the pics in my camera and found these pictures I took some weeks ago.

This is a family I saw downstairs.

I was so impressed I quickly got my camera and secretly took pictures of them like 007. I had to be really discrete because I knew that if they caught me doing it their poles would shoot straight at me, killing me on the spot.

A biZZare worLd

You get exhausted after a run and you sit down at your favorite spot by the pool-side where it’s all quiet and serene and you wonder what realms you will be brought to as you voluntarily let go of control over your tired, dejected brain cells.

You look around your estate and you realize that after staying here for more than a decade, you don’t know the exact number of blocks in here. You start counting and realize there are twelve of them.

You peep into the balconies that are still emitting light and you start to wonder what the residents are doing. Suddenly, a shadow flashes by in the balcony and you wonder what that shadow was thinking about in that instant.

Would he have guessed that he was being spied on by a 21 year old nut sitting by the pool?

The distant murmurs of Filipino maids leads you to wonder at the content of their cheerful conversations. They must be reminiscing about their homeland, their children, their old and dependent parents. In the same way, never in their wildest thoughts would they imagine that they, too, were being overheard by a 21 year old nut sitting by the pool.

You look into the apartment of your childhood sweetheart and wonder if she is still in the country. You imagine her reaction if your name is brought up before her again. A smile? Fond memories?

Or more realistically, you might already have been forgotten.

You conjure up a companion beside you, sitting quietly by your side and offering you a smoke. You are unable to create a face for this character but reckon it’s alright as a lonely person cares not who his companion is.

Your vision turns to the security guard at his counter in the distance, looking over documents and arranging keys. You teleport into his soul and being and you complain and bitch about having to stay awake for the next couple of ungodly hours in a job that pays you peanuts.

You look around at the hundreds of cars in the estate and secretly envy the owners as you wish you could be in their shoes.

You miss your wife and children but you know you’ve got to do your job for their sake. You wonder how you’re going to pass those hours, as you spot a 21 year old nut sitting by the pool in the distance and you wonder if you should ask him to go home.

But then again, residents here are extremely easily provoked and a complaint could easily cost you your job and you decide to mind your own business.

With a jolt, you find yourself back into your own body once more and you look around again.

Your troubles evaporate and you feel like a speck of dust in the universe, which you really are.

And suddenly, the world seems a better place.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY sianz.

Something dear.

I made such a blunder today by leaving my Adidas bottle behind in the LT after classes today. And I only realized it when I alighted at SIM and was waiting to transfer to another bus.

Well let’s just put it this way; the bottle was given to me by someone important.

I immediately tried to ask if anyone was nearby to help me go get it from the LT and keep it for me the time being, but very unfortunately, nobody was at engin :(

So being the nonchalant and stylo milo person I THOUGHT I was, I boarded the bus I was supposed to transfer onto and decided to get it back tomorrow.

I was even thinking “Haha! Maybe it is destined that I have to lose this. Since it’s all over. And in any case, it’s just a friggin water bottle wad!”

So stylo right.

10 minutes later, a few bus-stops away from my place, I found myself alighting the bus and crossing the road to wait for bus heading back to NUS.

Sigh.

*Face in palms*

Cos I realize if cannot get back the bottle, I will… I will.. I dunno.

Why am I so not hao mai tmd.

Fortunately I got back the bottle. And all in all I took 151 to SIM, 184 to Bukit Timah, then 184 to SIM, 151 to NUS, then 151 to SIM, 184 back home.

That incurred a cost of at least $3 and about 2 hours of my time.

Add that to the fact that I couldn’t frickin sleep again last night. I so wanted to pia home after lecture that I didn’t even wanna go buy the textbooks that I should have bought.

And then this.

Well done, kang kang, well done.

IHG Finals and PPG

Today was IHG finals, Temasek vs Sheares. None of my business really, but I went to watch with bm cos got bandar and bobby and alan and the rest of IFG people.

Well but it was a really cool game lah, though I think Temasek could have won. Alot of missed opportunities.

After the game Bandar (Temasek captain) started scolding all the rest of the players for losing the game. Wah lau, stress sia. But I heard they’ve been champions for 6 years liao, so this time lose abit sad.

So stressful, if next time I play for hall then lose, will kena scolded also leh. Aiyoh so competitive for what, play for fun one wad.

Next year IFG if Engin loses I wonder if anyone would be disappointed hahah. I think Engin been winning for 4 or 5 years straight also.

Anyway I was at this forum when I saw so many pictures of Cassandra a.k.a PPG (Power Puff Girl).

How come suddenly so many pictures of her at sggirls.com ah? And I still dun understand why she took the offer to pose for the AIDS poster. It’s put up at kopitiams that kind.

It looks so scandalous.

She’s so pretty right? Can u imagine playing DOTA with her haha. She’s quite a hardcore warcraft player by the way, dunno about now though.

And BY THE BY, I didn’t get these pics from sggirls.com okay, lest u start thinking I scour the site everyday for chiobu pics like a colour wolf.

I got them from a non-related FORUM.

But still, Sggirls.com is cool so if u stay in the mountains and have not visited the site before, go check it out.

P.S. It is NOT a porn site, you prick.
