I can't remember the last time that we kissed goodbye. All our 'I love you's were just not enough to survive
And so after the test today, i was feeling more than a little tired. Stayed up till 330 in the morning n woke up - before my alarm clock - at 830am. Guess my brain never stopped working (and worrying) throughout those precious 5 hours.
In anyways, i walked out of the LT and heard the CAC guitar club ppl performing at the forum, and i thought the babe of a lead singer pulled off the song Light in Your Eyes pretty well. By Blessed Union of Souls. And it kinda fit nicely with my nuahh mood after the test.
So here's my song of the day:)
Something your eyes never told me
But it's only now too plain to see,
Brilliant disguise when you hold me
And I'm free
I've been thinking and here's what I've come to conclude
Sometimes the distance is more than two people can use
But how could I have known girl
It was time and not space you would need
Darling tonight I could hold you and you would know
But would you believe
There's a light in your eyes that I used to see
There's a place in your heart where I used to be
Was I wrong to assume that you were waiting for me
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me
Cards and phone calls and photograph pictures of you
Constant reminder of all the things you get used to
Is there a chance in Hell or Heaven
That there's still something here to build on
Or do you just pick up the pieces after they fall
But after all
There's a light in your eyes that I used to see
And a song in the words that you spoke to me
Was I wrong to believe in your melody
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me
Should I keep on waiting or does love keep on fading away
Fading away
It's been a while since I've seen you so how have you been
Did you get my letter I wrote you that I did not send
I tried to call your old number
But the voice that I heard on the phone
I recognized but she told me the number was wrong
There's a light in my eyes it's too bright to see
And a pain in my heart where you used to be
Guess I was wrong to assume that you were waiting here for me
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me
Went for Irene's bday yday, bought her a hot pink lacoste polo tee tgr with ling. It was a great gift, since she likes lacoste stuff - the only bad news was that her sis bought one of the exact same shade for her and she was wearing it for the bday celebration."-_- haha... but out of it all, it proved one thing... I HAVE GOOD TASTE IN COLOURS! *smug*
oh and i tasted sweet wine for the first time in my life. Fruit wine, they call it. For every other times when the adults drank wine and told me it was sweet, they were all bluffing. I ended up wincing at the thick, musty n bitter taste everytime i tried the red and the white wines. Suaku me.
Anyways, HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY, IRENE!
Met up with hs n xw at Bugis this afternoon. yes, xw is finally back from bangkok! And she got me sexy green top, which fits me to a T. I bet she must have been staring at my body alot during all the past few gatherings man. omigoodness... (haha thanks babe!)
Then off i went to accompany Edlina to shop. But after an hr of waiting - and dozing off while sitting on the steps outside the station - THERE WAS STILL NO NEWS OF THAT WOMAN. Turned out she fell aslp at home...and she KAPPED MY PHONE CALLS in her slp!:x
But she called to apologise just now, by which time i wasnt fuming anymore. And i felt alot better. i've got a treat too!
I survived 2 days of intensive visiting!!!
Not that i had many houses to visit, but somehow eating, smiling, shaking hands, receiving ang paos and continuous laughing at 6-hr CNY specials on SCV expends alot of energy haha. And speaking of shows, the 5566 guys are really good at hosting. Wanna see more of em!
And yesterday, we had a close shave with the traffic police. And seeing the man in white was like looking at death in the face. scary i tell ya. What happened was that the Kangoo my mum was driving was only supposed to carry 5 pax. But we were overloaded with 7, and worse, my sis was sitting on my dad's lap in the front seat. And it's the first time i saw my mum panick as she hurried my sis to duck for cover. ( but of coz it's to no avail lah, duh. haha) Thankfully, the cop decided to - in colloquial terms - 'close one eye' and didnt dish out summons. My mum has to chauffeur the kids to n fro sch, so she cant afford to jeopardise her license lah. Phew.
the past few days were pretty much like the usual cnys, but this yr's more special coz i've got long-dist relatives who tell me im looking prettier every yr! *gloats* Well i wont deny that they're prob trying to be nice, but they told me i look like how my mum did when she was my age ( and she was really very pretty when she was younger tt's why my dad got smitten), so i guess it's a compliment!:D
And speaking of my looks, i realise that my gene pool consists of a good mix betwn my folks, which is quite nice i thot. Just to name a few, my mum has a round-ish face, my dad has a long-ish one (which my mum insists looks like a bulldog coz he carries a grouchy look half the time haha), so i end up with a oval-ish one with a rounded chin. As for height my mum is arnd 1.5-er, my dad's almost a 1.7-er, so i turn out to be near 1.6m. Amazing how different mixtures of genes can get u different looks!
shall stop blabbering already. off to the books i go!
Xin Nian Kuai Le!!
Chinese New Year's finally here, but it feels a lil weird...coz there dont seem to be much of a festive mood this time round. I wonder why.
Wondering if the lack of media promotion has to do with it, or if its uni that's changing my point of view. Personally, i dont hate CNY. No reason to, since it gives me a valid reason to be awake at 3am in the morning, without having to scramble for cover when she wakes up inthe middle of the night to spotcheck on me. What's more, im on good terms with my cousins, both paternal and maternal. It's always a good opportunity for us to meet up and go visiting the elders in these few days. And even as im blogging now, my cousins are in my living rm playing ps2 and ban lak. They came over as a surprise visit, and im happy they're here!
I think im really lucky to have such close bonds with my cousins, coz not many ppl can claim they have that these days. And i thank my grandmothers for all the gatherings they organised in the past that lay the foundation for us to build the strong bond amongst us. Reminds me of all the stupid games we played while our parents were desperately getting us to sit still so they cld feed us. Games like 'can u lend me a corner, mr wolf' (super long name n super noisy game), santa claus game, and the egg game just to name a few. And this da gui tou of a cousin who led all of us kids, never failed to kenna scolding every gathering coz he refused to stop the games n go for dinner. Yes, it is you who told everyone my blog name was bimbotic, sonny. haha
What fun, what nostalgia.
Well, im getting sleepy already. But before i go, i must announce the achievements i've made today - I've managed to clean up my piggy-sty room and changed my own bedsheets within the afternn, just in time for CNY! I am capable, i am jiayan. muahaha.
Bak kwas, pineapple tarts and ang paos, here i come!
Went back to nj to visit the teachers after sch this afternn with Toon. Gee, it's getting hard to find friends who are easy going and do NOT display the ninny-fied "you go then i go" groupie symptoms. It's really such a ninny behaviour man. It's still ok for girls (there's safety in nos. just in case some bangla decides to sneak up on u when u're in the ladies), but for guys??! Lunch at ke ai ji was hilarious. the grumpy aunty who still manages the place happened to be in a good mood today, so she decided to ji siao us abit since she thot we were an item hahaha! Speaking of which, i must say im really glad that i've got male friends with whom i know i'll always maintain a platonic relat'p with, in the sense that i can hang arnd with them with total ease. No awkward silences, no need to paiseh and no need to be self-conscious. No holds barred! Three cheers to our friendship, and Xin Nian Kuai Le to y'all!
So go back to our alma mater we did, but coz we went there abit too late, there wasnt anybody left anymore. Wrote a few cny cards for the teachers who still cared (esp. mr ong) and left them in their mailtrays. For those of my friends who havent gone back for eons, here's the lowdown on the latest upgrades:
It's after 12, so i guess i shld just say a very Happy Valentines' Day to all my friends~:)
But to be honest, i really dont see the pt in celebrating it anymore...been dreading it actually. Don't know why oso...think its just a case of sour grapes lah. Or im simply less happy than usual coz i kenna birdshit on one of my fav wear-at-home t-shirts this morning. Stupid bird. (I'll write a book called To Kill a F*kingbird one of these days i swear.)
But anyways, for the record, i've just decided to ditch my 'bak kwa' plan coz it seems too shabby, kiam siap and aunty as a gift. The concept of Vday has been completely stereotyped lah, anything unconventional will be condemned forever and ever.
So im left scratching my head again. (when i really should be studying for my test tmr haha)
Hope i'll get a brainwave when i (eventually) doze off on my study table. Tonight really don't need to sleep already.
weird...
Been feeling extremely tired and having bad cases of migraine for the whole of the past week. And interestingly, it acts up whenever i try to push away the fatigue n force myself to mugg-_-. But i've been sleeping much more already, even if it's past midnight. Maybe i studied too much... i hope i studied too much. Then i'll award myself with a valid excuse not to study so much:p
But really...i wonder what wld happen if i suddenly drop dead without warning one of these days. I'd die with regrets aplenty man...
Random thoughts.
Jialat...im in deep shit once again. The kid i was tutoring for O lvl Eng came to my hse this morning armed with an E8. OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~ I pray hard his chances of getting into Poly thru DAE instead of JAE works, so he can happily pursue a course of his choice, and i wont have to reek of excessive guilt for the rest of my life.
Explains why i dread tutoring even tho the hourly pay is good.
Anyways, found this vid on youtube... which got me laughing my butt off!

Today was pretty much spent shopping in town again (i was there yday for dinner with 2 guys with killer looks).
But it was shopping with a purpose. Coz im usually quite a task-oriented person, i find myself never quite able to roam arnd somewhere for too long without knowing exactly what i wanna do there. So I met up with a long-time close friend Jane, initially to shop for bday prezzies but ended up getting a couple other gifts for a couple other purposes as well - CNY shoes n leggings for me and boxers for my friend's bf - so i thot it was time efficiently spent!:) Guess we aint long-time friends for no reason huh. Girls of the same 'kuan' flock tgr.
And speaking of boxers, i've observed a really interesting trend lately n i just thought i'd air my views abit. Apparently, Sunny S'pore got too warm n humid for some ppl; so to overcome that, they've resorted to wearing ultra-low baggy jeans which showed off their brightly-coloured funky underwear. And if lucky enough, anybody who happens to be walking along one of the corridors along as6 may get to see some hair too.
So exactly who am i talking abt? the guys obviously! Afterall not too long ago, the ladies had been severely criticised for wearing low-cut jeans which exposed their buttcracks, so it cldnt have been us. Coz girls have since wisened up, and are now fully aware that it's a fashion boo-boo tt shld be avoided at all costs.
Of coz, the guys had a valid argument back then. I too, agree that showing off ur buttcrack is a bad idea n definitely not a pretty sight. But well, u've gotta practise what u preach! If staring at somebody's buttcrack makes u throw up, what makes u think anybody who sees your calvinklein/renoma/lacoste/jockey/hush puppies/crocodile/crocodile kids underwear adorned by sneaky tufts of pubic hair wld have a more enjoyable meal later on??! It's really hilarious man, whenever i see these jokers walking arnd my fac, thinking they look cool and babes wld be attracted to them like bees to honey. It's rare, but i do see them arnd.
So what's the moral of the story? - some regions of the human body that have been covered up since civilisation shld be left covered up. Properly.
