Retrospect

I once had to write an essay for my English Composition entitled 'Retrospect'. Because it was an acutal serious essay which would be graded and given marks, and also happened to be the first essay i would write for my new english teacher, Mrs. N, and i obviously wanted to make a good opinion, i wrote typical news type stuff.

So my english composition turned out to be jabberign on and on about George Bush choking on a pretzel *snort* ( i had to put that bit in, my essay needed a bit of humour), the tsunami, duh, and of course, celebrities. The comment that Mrs. N put for me was something about " Well read certainly... + a good writer" i couldn't make out the rest of her comment, her hand writing is rather secretive. That comment sealed my opinion that Mrs. N is the best english teacher i've ever had.

But yes, i do feel that was a pretty good topic because it was pretty general and thus, you could interpret it however you want.

SCHOOL
2005 was pretty much bittersweet. The last year of school is, in my opinion, the most special one, and it holds true to this day. I stepped down from the BOD of Interact, and watched my proteges step up. God, if i ever have children, i don't think i'll be as proud as i was when you see the newbies take their pledge. I bid farewell to my friends, many of whom i shall probably not see for the next decade till our reunion. And i also learned that the school counselling room is a black hole that leads to hell. and that the witch who lives there is like a blood sucking, nerve cringing, favour asking nut who plays favourites. *ahem*

FAMILY
a pretty normal year for the family extension. Cousin got married and gave birth the same year *coughgunshotcough*, New Bambino was named super long and pretentious Sean Nicholas Wai Something Something. New Bambino's 10 year old uncle a.k.a. my 10 year old spoilt cousin who has a tumour is still alive. and still as annoying. On the paternal side of the family, my eldest cousin is still with his girlfriend, whom i actually like. none of the other girlfriends spoke to me at all, so yes, this one is in my good books. Doesn't hurt that she's pretty, so can guarantee that future Chans will be genetically and physically superior. V. Important, as my cousin is the only male of my generation on this side of the family.

ENTERTAINMENT
the world of celebrities!! Many break ups and hook ups;jolie+pitt, hilton dumps richie, yuen+laurie.... *coughdelusioncough* i also discovered a cool celeb gossip blog : Pink is the New Blog at www.trent.blogspot.com check it out! But the star in my book this year definitely goes to House M.D.!!! The Best show on earth. Thank you Astro! Thank you David Shore! Thank you Bryan Singer! Thank you Hugh Laurie! *muaks* The show is so much more than just a medical show! *boo Medical Investigation* The lead character Gregory House, is the star of AXN!! The absolutely brilliant and sarcastic doctor is so bloody sexy in a mature stubbly sort of way. *sigh*
Hugh Laurie or House M.D. at least, had better win a Golden Globe, or else you'll see soem bright red exclamation marks.

a Lovely special shout out to Chien Hwei @ lil adele who turns 16 today! hope you have an excellent week, full of Fun ForeMan-days, Great Hughs-days, um..something something wednesdays.. a great birthday thursday, something something friday and saturday and a WilSon-day!! *snort* muaks!

All I want for Christmas

Just so you know, I don't exactly celebrate Christmas, not religiously anyway. But i do have a lot of Christmas spirit as can be seen by my tradition of sending out piles of Christmas cards, Christmas shopping, and especially my jingle bells ringtone 365 days a year. I have been on my fairly decent best behaviour, so here is my Christmas wishlist, Santa. Read 'em and weep!





First on my list is of course the House M.D. DVD season 1. it includes special cast interviews, and ..um..extra stuff. All i can say is the doctor is in the House! *snort* thank you yeah Hwei!



You may also have noticed (if you looked really closely and watched the House episode 'Poison') that Dr. House wears cool shoes, like the Nike Shox. okay, okay, so i think they're cool because he wears them, yes i'm that shallow, BITE ME. Besides, I need a new pair of shoes. But in a not so manly colour.. maybe like the red pair he owns.....


MAC makes pretty things. I like pretty things. I like pretty Purple things. And i could always use a good set of makeup brushes. it's purely logical. Don't you just love logic?


Not only am I a huge House fan, I'm also a huge Hugh (pronounced hue - thanks Kar) Laurie fan. For the uninitiated, Hugh Laurie plays Dr. Greg-I-have-three-'legs'-but-I'm-still-hot-and-brilliant- House. Hugh is an acccomplished writer who has received rave reviews for his book The Gun Seller which is something like a spoof mystery thriller. I haven't actually seen it in real life, as i have not stepped into a proper bookstore in months, and only recently googled him. So, yes, this would be an excellent present to find under my (imaginary and proverbial) Christmas Tree!


I get a new handphone. It's not a suprise, I WILL get it, but i found this, and it was too pretty not to be shared. It's a nokia 6111 and it's PINK! it's got all the features i want, namely truetone capable, camera, and sms-able. I don't ask for much. REALLY!

wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

muaks!

ps: if you're not in the christmas mood yet, get into it! I ORDER you to!!!!!

sour puss

ballots are stupid.

they raise people's hopes and they take evil delight in crashing them down when they don't select you. They're like that german word for takign delight in toher people's misery, shadenfreude, or whatever. okay, so i'm a sore loser. Yah to all ballots all over the world!

i really wanted it. fine! i'll just.. sit at home adn sip sparkling juice from carrefour where you can buy the stuff for five bucks a bottle. i'll glug the whole blardy bottle down!

bah humbug

today's blog is all about the men on my to-die-for list. get ready to scream girls.

first up; James Marsters



Best known for his role as that sexy vampire Spike in the Buffy the vampire slayer series, i have just found out that James Wesley Marsters is also a singer. some people find Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series hot, but i think Marsters is wayyy hotter. check out that Bad Boy demeanor! the sulk; the pose; the dare-me-to-dare-you attitude. And the leather jacket! wooohhhh! he's got a pretty firm mouth too..mmmmmmm...

bad bit : he looks rather malnourished.





Next : His first movie without a sword or horse is coming out soon. i'm so mad over him i sat ready with my camera when i received a tip off that he was appearing at the MTV awards in Miami. in front of the tv. grr... you don't know how lucky you are, kirsten dunst. stick wih Jake you hear me?

Orlando Bloom! hot beh beh HOT!

I've had a crush on Mark Feehily since i was 14/15, so you can imagine my shock and dismay when he announced he was gay. *sob* but anyway, i still think he's hot. The sweet sensitive one in a boy group ( there's always one) always gets me. He's irish, and God, i love that smile. i have a thing for accents..

i still love you mark!!!

Hugh Laurie

Is

A

God.

Hugh Laurie plays Dr. Gregory House, M.D. on the series House, M.D. He is the best actor i have ever seen, and is so bloody funny! He's so wonderfully British! The dry english wit and humour is something i find extremly. ATTRACTIVE. *drool*

so yes, Hugh Laurie may be the oldest man in my list, but he is certainly the one i respect and adore the most. i want to marry Hugh Laurie. too bad he's already taken...

he's the most remarkable man on my list ; he's an Eton Man, a Cambridge man (he went there to row. Boats. Seriously ) and he's apparently got a great singing voice. He's also an accomplished musician. i've heard him play the piano on House before. It's like nothing i've ever heard. It's so raw and real.

and to top it off, he's extremely intelligent. he just gives off the tortured soul vibe. this picture of him is everything i need to dream! those gorgeous blue eyes, that slightly sweet smirk, the leather jacket, and the MOTOR BIKE. admittedly, i've never been a fan of motor bikes, but God, it's so beautiful to pose with...

oh, btw, photo taken from hughlaurie.net

fugly and just freaky sights.

several weeks ago, i went to a seafood restaurant near subang jaya airport. while i was eating dinner, my sister and i spotted this incredibly loud lady (in more ways than one) with a hyperactive child, although i'm not sure that was her kid. mothers should be able to behave themselves, but noooooo, not this one. the kid was making such a ruckus, that i turned and happened to look at the lady.

i wanted to puke. she looked as if she had been just released from fashion jail and was looking to be arrested again! any SANE person would tell you that you do not clash patterns! i took a picutre with my sister's phone to let you all see the horrendous sight.
you see you see? that lady in black and white.. first of all, the top is so damn fugly on her! makes your fatty bulges even more .. FAT! why on earth would you wear that woman????? and FLORAL PRINTS??!!! HAVE YOU GONE INSANE? only slim and skinny people should wear big prints because they make you look fat, you learn that in living skills, suprisingly. this whole outfit is just... it just... it just renders you speechless. don't harp on me about freedom of ..uh.. clothes. you want to dress like that and embarass yourself, go ahead, but pleaassseeee don't torture other people's vision like that! skali you let some poor depressed person see you and make that person more depressed then go commit suicide. or terrorism! hah! we're right next to an airport you know! you're giving one more reason to maniacs who are planning some other attention gabbing hijack!

"hmm... i wonder if i should risk my life to grab attention for a cause that involves berating americans using God as an excuse while sacrificing hundreds of innocent livews. woah, what is that flash - ARRGHHHH!!! what a horrible sight!!! let me die!!"

that is what a terrorist would be thinking.

on a scarier but at least less disgusting note, as i was walking to the toilet to wash my hands, i heard this terrible noise. (geez, first visually, now aurally. my senses are killing me!) i look to my left and get the second fright of the night.



it's a chicken, in case you can't see it clearly. you may be wondering why a chicken is scary, but it was VERY BIG, i tell you! and it kept opening its wings and flapping them very intimidatingly! and when you're at a seafood restaurant, the last thing you expect to see is a giant clucking chicken ALIVE AND ON THE LOOSE. and this one was extra scary. not like the docile pecking ones that have accepted their fate under the chopper and boiling water.

i got home alive.

EYER!!!! ka chat!!

yesterday, i was preparing myself for sleep, and headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth, wash my face, and then take out my contacts. i stifled my scream when i saw this HUGE ka chat (cockroach in cantonese) buzzing on the bathroom floor. i quickly jumped out of the bathroom and switched off the lights. i don't know why i did that, because obviously the cockroach 'sees' with its creepy long pervy antennae, and doesn' t care if the bathroom light is on or not.

now usually in my house, when i see a cockroach, i will immedeatly scream " DADDY!!! got ka chat! kill it! " unfortunately, this happened at two a.m. when i was supposed to be asleep, like a good girl. so i brushed my teeth in record time and took out my eyeballs (as my sister calls them) and darted the cockroach a death glare. one
day.. ONE DAY, i will get my revenge on you. i was sore, you see, becuase i didn't dare wash my face because that would require me closing my eyes, and not able to keep my eye on it.

in case you're wondering why i have such a phobia about cockroaches, it's because when i was younger, i was taking my bath, and i felt some weird ticklish feeling on my leg, i look down and there is this cockroach hanging on my leg!!!!!!!!

so then, here i am, watching tv, waiting for dinner to come home, when i hear a buzzing behind me. i see the brown enemy, and i head sneakily for newspaper. after a second thought, i decide to get the extra thick marie claire magazine for e
xtraweight and momentum. i roll it up..

i stalk over to the ka chat..

Revenge.

*WHACK*

*WHACK*


I look at the cockroach. it is still twitching.

*WHACK*

cockroach is no longer moving.

*whack*

one more itme just to be sure.

i grab a handful of kleenex, and dispose of it MYSELF. (wah, so proud man)

but just before, i grab my camera.
i call it 'morgue : end of the creepy crawlie'

chapter 2

The Queen who owned the kingdom was a fussy old lady who one day after watching an episode of 'Miss Match', decided to start matchmaking as well in her spare time. So, one day, she decided to match make one of her subjects : Mr. Gingerbread man.

The Queen threw an enormous party in an effort to weed out tarts and find a suitable match for Ginger. Everybody who was anybody was invited, and huge rock hard rock cakes were hired to keep out the rag-a-muffins.

As Ginger strolled around, a wondrous sight beheld his soft gooey chocolate-y sight.

It was Miss Candy Cane.

Her lovely curvy figure entranced him. Her perfectly symetrical red and white stripes that swirled around her sugar coated figure hypnotised him. Her goofy laughter sounded like tinkerbell bells in his non-existent ears.

and he walked over to her..

once upon a time - chapter 1

Once upon a time, there lived a gingerbread man who dwelled in the little city of Queen's Confectionary. He was a gingerbread man cooked with the finest top-grade Pillsburied dough and icing, and had lovely dark Swiss chocolate brown eyes. Because of advantageous placing of his home near the hottest spot in all of the kingdom ( The Oven ) , the gingerbread man was constantly fresh-out-of-the-oven hot. Because of this super-deluxe exclusive house, many other pastries tried to pass themselves off as higher end Delicacies (but really, they were just Tarts) to attract his eye.



-coming up next-
chapter 2 - the candy cane

my to-do list after spm

things about Yuen

1. when i'm alone at home, i like to leave doors open.

2. i'm a picky sleeper. my blanket must be specifically folded corner to corner . before my mom threw away my pink blanket, the ugly rough one was perfectly on top of it; 2" away from the sides. tiny bolster on my left, big huggy bolster on my right. two pillows in the centre of the bed; certain angle.

3. i pig out all the time.

4. i have the ability to wake up and just stare into space. all zoned out and everything. no thoughts whatsoever. i have mastered the art of stoning.

5. i go all gaga when i hear frankie j's 'obsession'. i listen to it and VE's 'oh oh oh' song all the time.

6. i have the oddest habit of rubbing my nose. like, the rounded bit. i think it evolved from the year i wore my horribly nerdy and loose red glasses. *shudder*

7. i have been feeding the dog's food to the back alley cats.

8. i still check the interact board regularly. i'm letting go VERY slooooowwwwlllyyy

the ending

yesterday was the 38th annual interact installation, in which my juniors stepped up, and my old board stepped down.

i went to school at around 1145 and helped them get ready, after handing my screwed up presentation to judith to edit. it turns out that windows movie maker does not save your photos and clips, so in order to view the movie you've made, the computer you view it on has to have the photos in it. sheesh.

so i went around kepoh-ing where i could. krys left school without me, so i couldn't curl my hair like i wanted, so i had to make do with my normal straight hair. we panicked when we couldn't get judith's powerpoint to get through the lcd, so ten minutes before we started, we decided to cancel the presentation. and i worked so hard on my first video!

so about fourty five minutes before we were scheduled to start, i went and changed into my board uniform for the *sob* last final *wail* time!

there were no hooks whatsoever in the backstage bathroom, so i had to keep opening the door after i changed into each item of clothing and handing it to anaz, who was helping me change. after that, i grabbed my make up pouch, and headed towards the teacher's bathroom, with anaz tagging after me, still holding all my things like a P.A.

after that, the guests started coming in, and even though i was supposed to be stepping down, mdm shanthy saw me and made me take care of the registration money. so i naturally did the right thing. i gave it to zalifah, the new head prefect, to keep for me. it's good practice for her.

i've been staying back to provide support and also because they were complaining a lot about getting no help. so i've been at least somewhat involved, if not very helpful. so i naturally felt panicky for them when shanthy started shouting and making sour faces. it didnt' help that some guest weren't in proper attire. i saw this fella, akbar, i think his name was, in casual clothes. mdm shanthy probably knew him quite well, becuase she suddenly turned very PR and told him in a friendly way that he should understand but he could come back for tea. hah!

the installation went well, with the handing over ceremony the most nerve wrecking for me. i was on the verge of hyperventilating for some reason, most probably because i was essentially resposible for anything to do with the seniors, and they were annoying the heck out of me by taking ten years of my life span. i had a nightmare the night before the installation where i dreamt that during the ceremony, when hte emcee would announce "Int. Chan Yuen Yee, ougoing Club service director" the whole hall would fall silent and just stare at me.

thank god that didn't happen

in fact people actually cheered for me. well, at least the interactors did. okay okay, the juniors!! so i was totally emotionally balanced until sumithra mouthed at me "the last minute" refering of course, to my last minute as club director. then it was my turn to pin the badge on su rynn, my sucessor. i actually started tearing. damn it! thankfully, the pictures which zalifah took don't show.

i got a lovely large bouquet of flowers and lollipops. i even got a compliment from a guy saying my bouquet was damn cool. hah! unfortunately, i forgot to take out the leftovers of my name cards, so i didn't hand them out, so i think i'll just give it to my juniors, who apparently have a hobby of collecting name cards even though they already know all the details on it. how odd.

after that, i stayed back to hand out my orange sherbet sweets which i bought as a congratulations gift for the incoming/ newbies.after dropping su rynn of at her house, i went home to prepare for the board dinner at california pizza kitchen at klcc, where it is tradition for the new board to treat the old board to dinner.

i picked up su rynn and sumithra at about seven, and we all squashed in the back seat with my mom, me and my sis. we arrived early and because su rynn hadn't had a proper meal for the whole day, we went to dunkin donuts and had two donuts each per person. i had a strawberry frost *yum* and a vanilla (sugary goodness), while smiley su had a happy. sumi had her usual dose/fix of chocolate.

we then headed off to cpk, and got the private room. i totally felt like a celebrity walking to the private room, with the rest of the people at the restaurant just looking and turning to see who the big group of gorgeous gals were! haha! then we took loads of photos, and chatted till klcc started to close. we ordered desert, and my table shared it. it was oozing vanilla and chocolate goodness!! unfortunately, i dripped caramel fudge chocolate onto my brand new topshop halter top, so in order to stop embarssing myself and dirtying it any further, i took one of the serivettes and tucked it into my top. sort of like a bib. sumithra found it very funny for some reason......

then we went home and i changed, and after my sister switched off the lights, and i was staring at the picture of the whole group of us, old board and new board, it really hit me then.

it was the last day i was ever the Club service director. i was no longer an interactor. and as i looked at all the faces i have come to know well through out my time proudly sporting the interact logo, i couldn't help but remember a comment made earlier by mdm shanthy, the teacher advisor of interact.
as she was walking towards her car, Shanthy saw me and remarked, "this girl ah, can never leave interact!"

and you know what?

i couldn't agree more.

Hot Stuff!!

Red alert! red alert!

One Utama has the hottest guys! like.. FRIED EGGS!! If you don't believe me, you can at least believe Kareen. Check out her blog.

A whole group of friends (Kareen, Anaz, Francine, Cheryne, Rachel, May, and Mei Ling) and me went out to One U to celebrate Anaz's birthday in advance on Sunday. So we went, and hung around Times, and when we walked past, i heard this excited whisper from one of them behind me, and heard " Look, down there!" so naturally, being the K.P.C. that i am, i looked down, and a vision of hunkness took my breath away.

This fella who was one of these rock-climbing attendants had gorgeous hair; it was long-ish and curly and just a hint of light brown. Oh, and he was pretty cute too, but to tell you the truth, i was more attracted to the hair. I'm weird that way..

So after that, we went checking out the booths. The booths are always the best because they have cheaplak brand stuff, but it's of good quality (most of the time) and it's cheap! so we came upon this shop, who was manned by another Hot guy with Super Hot Hair. for a while, i thought i was seeing Rock Dude's twin. Definitely Fried egg material! His booth was selling belts, and a whole rack of them were going for RM 9! It would be sacrilege to pass up such a bargain, so i allowed myself to splash out on a white belt. La!! The booth is somewhere on the second or third floor. New Wing.

Then came the Question : where to go for lunch?

we went around rather 'sesated' and finally went into Seed cafe. as soon as we sat down though, we decided to eat somewhere else, so we got up and left five minutes after being seated. Mei Ling and I were the first ones to get out under the pretext of "going to the toilet, ya.. Going. To. The TOILET". Kareen was the last to get out, so it was more embarassing for her. Haha!!

We finally settled on Chilli's, but had to be put on the waiting list for about half an hour. so we milled around, then we ordered lunch. I had a margarita chicken and citrus prawns, along with pickings from other people's plates like Kareen's Prawn Alfredo (which i made her order for me, so i wouldn't be too glutton-y) and half a southwest sling (which is like some tropical fruit thing) and the rest of them slurped the other half up. we then prdered dessert, which was absolutely De-li-cious! Kareen and anaz ordered their Molten cake and i had my plain Brownie and Vanilla ice cream. Mei Ling took my cherry, but i had a fun time polishing off my lovely humble brownie and vanilla ice! ho ho ho!

Then we went and checked out Rock Dude. He even chatted us up and told us that they were opening up a rock climbing centre near GSC, and 'hoped to see us there'. yeah, we're totally there all the time now! then i went into this clothes shop with anaz and Fran, and when i came out, Mei Ling , Kareen, and cheryne were Flirting with him like so obviously!!!!

Then we went to Topshop where we all tried on the same type of Halter top, but in various colours. May said i looked sweet in the white one that i wore, so i bought it despite the RM 53 price tag to wear for my Board dinner.

Then went to Sasa, and bought a set of make up brushes, and some eyeshadow in red. after that, i went home and was so full, i didn't really try with dinner. tragic, but not really. i kept thinking of my lovely lusty dreamy brownie.

event of the day : stayed back at school to help them with their install, and it turns out that i had no transport home, so i kept sucking up to the juniors and going *sweet voice* "(insert name of junior), where do you live ahhhh?"

Girlfriends - part 2


time to continue! the girl on the far right is Chien Hwei, or Hwei for short. She's the new president and has the strangest sense of humour. who can ever forget the xxl m&m throwing incident? hahaha! she's our new Interact president, and i'm glad it's her. i can't think of anyone else in her place. She's sweet and funny and won't take any of your crap, so don't even try pissing her off. Hwei is also the cutest poser of you can catch her in the right mood. HAHA.

next to her is Zalifah, one of her debating team people. Zalifah is like your typical over-achiever. She's an experienced debator, running for head prefect and is always the 'responsible' one. HAHA. These two hang out a lot together during Lit Meetings, so i only thought it appropriate that they should be together!

Another is Lee Quin, who sits next to me in Moral. She's fun to sit with, cause she likes to tease Kareen. It's always fun to tease Kareen. ho ho ho. I can't upload Lee's photo here, but you can see check out her blog and other photos in my previous blogs. Lee is super brainy. i still remember she's always the nerdy teacher's pet ever since primary school. She's still an over achiever la. Much like Zalifah. HO HO HO!!

Interact

I had a total mental double take when i discovered that i haven't written about the thing i LOVE most. INTERACT. oh, come on! you knew it was only a matter of time before i started on AGAIN about it. ho ho ho!

For the uninitiated or simply those who i have not preached to yet, Interact is a service club that.. well, serves the school and community while having loads of fun! seriously, Interact has been the most major part of senior school life. American schools have cheerleading as the most popular club. We have clubs that serve the community and school. sucks to them. haha!!

I joined Interact in form three. that would make me an Interactor for two and a half years. never have i wished for more school time just so i could stay on. I don't think i've ever been more dedicated to anything else in my whole life. i actually feel a tugging at my heart strings as i am writing this now.

words cannot describe the elation i felt when i was elected; nor can it describe the total feeling of insecurities and bitterness i felt when i found out my own members were calling me bi*** behind my back. oh wait, words just described it.

it's been a wonderful year, and i would not change a single bit of it, not even the few embarassing moments like the time i tripped while going onstage, and when i messed up the Interact song on Installation day, or when my flower bud fell off and rolled around on stage. Yep. Wouldn't change a thing.

Interact has changed me in so many ways, i do not even know where to begin. For starters, you only have to look and compare my form three class picture and my current photos. Thank God for contacts. I was/am a total geek, but at least i embrace it now because i look *better* if not nice.

It's going to be so sad on my stepping down day, ( i still don't know what to call it. de-install?? ) i just know i'm going to cry.i already did for our last General Meeting, (although i still maintain it wasn't exactly crying, it was more like.. leaking.)so why not my de-install day? It's going to be another super emo-day for me, seeing all those juniors that i've come to see as my own personal slaves. joking joking! haha, really, i've gotten quite close to some of my juniors, and i'm really going to miss them all. *sniff sniff*

i'm going to miss everything, from morning meetings with Shanthy, chatting with the juniors ( and bullying them.. but i can't now, cause they're already freshies. humph ), to putting up notices on the board.

oh well. there's always rotaract!

Viva la Interact,

Girlfriends - part 1

i feel absolutely wretched right now. i have just found out i failed to get my Grade 8 theory certificate by a horrible measly four marks. this sucks. but because i have such wonderful friends who have attempted to cheer me up, albeit unsuccessfully, i will dedicate today's blog to my dear girl friends.


first up on the left with me is Anaz. short for Anazthasya, Anaz is proud of her Chinese-indian parentage, and has formed the CIA ( Chinese Indian Association) with her good friend Cheryne. they currently have a membership of two people. themselves. Anaz is very amusing during Moral lessons. she asks odd questions. will also lend you gorgeous dresses when you need them. Anaz is super hyper at times and will greet you every morning with a super bright shiny smile.


This is Kareen, the emcee you've probably seen loads of times. she also happens to be a very competent debater. She has a fetish for body shop products, and keeps a blog of her own. check it out. Kareen can be brutally honest sometimes, but she has a heart of gold. you'll probably see her in the future doing some super bombastic research work or owning a spa resort where she really will have her own little jacuzzi. hahaa.. right, and she's like.. super smart and super responsible, and she ( and the whole of her class) loveesss their class teacher. apparently her mom makes really cool absolutely to DIE for chicken sandwiches! but i wouldn't know because i've never had the opportunity to eat one because they're always gone before i can even see one.

Francine is the one in the middle. She sits next to me in class, and therefore has to endure me everyday she comes to school. no wonder she skips school a lot.. Francine is a totally chun-ted babe, who has guyS chasing after her, and has really cool clothes. although she's the only kid at home, Francine is so not spoilt. even i'm more spoilt than her, and i have to contend with my dog for attention. also on her way to becoming a teacher's pet. haha

egg me.

me and francine were discussing.. okay, crapping in class during math. can you blame us? and i quoted my now-familiar phrase: "he's so hot you could fry an egg on him", and we got to talking about guys who we know, and when we came to one of the fellas, the evil little bi*** that i am, i rated him badly. he was a total egoistic player!!

so we came up with this rating system:

raw egg : so not hot. not even lukewarm. like.. straight out of the refridgerator! reserved for low-life two timing scum. not even the ugliest geek deserves it.

soft-boiled egg : not that good, but anything's better that a raw egg. somewhat decent, but still has way too many shortcomings.

hard-boiled egg : cute! not a bad catch, and a totally must-have accessory to have to all social occasions. hold on to him and never let go!

fried egg : fried eggs are special because they don't need water to be cooked. this one requires oil. totally one of a kind, and oh-so-beyond. a rare species that makes you weak in the knees, woozy and just day-dreamy. hot stuff bay-beh! you KNOW you're in like when you rate him a fried egg.

evaporated egg : francine and i didn't think it suitable to put our favorite pretty boy, Orlando Bloom in the same category as lesser more realistic mortals, so we created a more unreachable level. egg so HOT that it evaporated to non-existence. people, no, Idols, in this category are Orlando and (francine insisted on his inclusion) Chad Micheal Murray. these are the stuff of Legends. people so incredible you have to be one to score one.

i wonder where i stand...

leave me a post-it.

finally!


Finally, the laptop works again.

Lit Night was last Friday, and it was kind of a success i suppose. i mean, nothing MAJOR happened, but then it wasn't the most exciting Lit Night ever. ah well.

right after my piano exam we rushed to Krystina's house so i could prim and preen, but not before stopping by a&w. we then went over to krys' house and booted a guy who was playing with her computer so the girls could change. haha! so i changed into this super gorgeous dress lent to me by anaz's cousin, and then proceeded to obssess for the next hour over whether or not to wear a purple shawl to hide my fat arms and cover me up, but seemed slightly over the top, or to wear the drabby see through white but totally acceptable top. Cheryl suggested i go with the shawl, so i did.

I also had to get rid of extra tickets because SOME people decided that their friends weren't coming last minute. good thing i could get a refund. krys curled my hair for me, which turned out pretty well, i must say! i rushed backstage as soon as i got to school and in about half an hour, the show was on the road.

For me, the best part about Lit Night isn't the actual concert, but the after-party. how tragic... after 'cleaning around' for a bit, and lots of pictures, the whole gang of us stuffed ourselves like sardines into Charmaine's mom's car. unfortunately, the whole lot of us in the car meant Uncle didn't have a ride there.. whoops..

as i left the hall,i was tempted to knick a corsage left over, but decided not to. the last thing i saw when i left the hall was one of the people i invited being kicked by little gingerbread men. heheheheh!!

as we went through a&w, i felt like a celebrity. people kept giving me odd glances ( then agian, they gave all of us odd glances) and friends kept saying hi, plus, my feet had a some what 'glamorous' ache to it, which is what you would expect from wearing kitten heels for the past three hours.

so we settled down and proceeded to make a total ruckus. we did the whole 'yum seng' thing and got scolded by the staff..hehe.. looked for krys, cause i wanted to see how her hair turned out like, because when i left her house, she was moaning about her non-curling hair. didnt' see her, but i heard she headed off to starbucks with the gingerbread man and family. sigh.. people who can afford starbucks all the time..

had a great time at the restaurant! took loads of photos with gorgeous friends, so look out for them on my friendster account! i've put a picture of quin, kareen, and me above.

all in all, i had a wonderful time for the past few weeks. i had a great assistant, and i'm so glad i got to know some of my friends better, or at least hung out with them more. now there's only installation left to look forward to..

So in like

As usual, i've fallen in like. Yes, you read right, like, not the big L-O-V-E. At least i'm honest enough with myself to know the difference no? No offence, (but hey, this is the UNCENSORED version) but i've always found it a little immature that so many teens think themselves in love when they finally find a boyfriend or girlfriend. Let's just be totally and brutally honest here, not to mention most probably politically incorrect, but most of the time, the bf/gf is more like a covetted popularity award. To be fair, many couples genuinely like each other and may even have special feelings, but is it absolutely appropriate to say you're in LOVE?

Many people get their first bf/gf during their teens, and I wonder how they know they are in love, or how their respective other is 'THE ONE'. Is it that special feeling? If so, how do they know that feeling will last? Actual research shows that the feeling of euphoria fades after about three months. Hmm..

Of course, i'm not saying that they have no future! Perhaps some couples really will make it all the way.

So yes, as i was saying, I'm in like. Which is really out of the ordinary, because he's not what you would think my type of guy would be. The guys that i've kind of liked so far has been the bookish, intellectual, maybe even blur type. I know, I know.. a bit of a nerd, okay? But i think subconciously, after all these types, I've finally changed and fallen for a Bad Boy.

Yes, the Bad Boy .

The brooding silent figure in the back of the room. * weak knees*

The totally macho man so Hot you could fry and egg on him. * drool*

The guy who oozes danger and yet does things so caring it's just too sweet for words. *faints*

I know i'm in like with him because of the fact that i'm actually willing to overlook the fact that he SMOKES. It's a disgusting habit, but as long as he doesn't smoke in front of me, and eats loads of breathmints, I'm pretty okay with it. Although it would be crazy cool if he actually stopped smoking!

word of the day: emancipate - to free, especially form legal, political or social restrictions

good sentence : slaves were not emancipaed until 1863 in the United States.

bad sentence : Mariah Carey's boobs were emancipated in many of her music videos.

The Beginning.. again

So this is a new blog.. Again. Before anything, i would like to dedicate today's blog to my friend Kareen, who told me to blog again. So yay!

I have just finished watching Laguna Beach on mtv. I still don't know if it's a reality show or is it a scripted drama, because the acting or whateve is really natural, but on the other hand, how much drama can a teen have??!!

For the unupdated, Laguna Beach so far has had multiple break ups and make ups, two fashion shows, too many bitch fights to count, and many clubbing scenes. They're the same age as me! I mean, sure, they live in 'the real orange county' but is it for real???!!! I wonder....

Today's topic seems to be reality shows, so let's go on to my favourite reality show : The Apprentice!

Anybody who has watched Apprentice 1 will remember an almost probably hate Amorosa. I don't think i've had more fun bitching about anybody else! I didn't have a paticular favourite but i found Sam very interesting. If i owned a company, i would hire him on the spot! He would make a very cool but exasperating motivational speaker! haha.. i certainly wouldn't pick Bill. He's so uninspiring. bleh.

The amazing race is also one reality show i like. Any survivor fan would know that Rob Boston and Amber from the all stars survivor(is it?) joined the amazing race. No, they didn't win, but i was rooting for them all the way. Rob's way of putting things into logic and his slyness and cunning ways just leaves you speechless. What other person could convince other teams to join him in abandoning a task and take a four hour penalty???!! RESPECT, dude! Although it serves him right for asking Meredith and Gretchen whether or not they got on the earlier flight, hoping to get them to panic about getting ahead. Unfortunately for him, there WAS an earlier flight. ahahahaha!!! talk about irony..

My Sweet Sixteen is another show on Mtv i enjoy. It's fascinating to watch these spoilt brats spend thousands of dollars on parties for their sixteenth birthday. And I thought I was spoilt. sheesh. So far, i've watched a coming out party, an Arabian nights themed party, a Tennis party that served sushi, and a diva wannabe arriving in a helicopter. I kid you not. and my mom wonders why i want to be an event manager. Do you not see the dollars signs when you get clients such as this?

It's late, I'm tired and bored. No one's online to chat with me ( thanks a lot Kar) so i'm signing out.

peace.
