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
