Long day today, longer day ahead tmr! (It includes to going to get my handphone charger repaired. My Nokia 6500 is giving my tons of trouble.)

Woke up early and had dim sum with my family at Shaw Centre, then proceeded to buy my RJ uniform since I was already there. I am so not forward to wearing it because I think I look like a vegetable dumpling in it ("vegetable dumpling"courtesy of Huiwen). I will be going back tomorrow once again to exchange for a bigger skirt size since I realised I don't like to wear my skirt at my waist. ): The blouse is totally see through, so congrats to you if you accidentally get it wet. When I told my mum my distaste with the transparent blouses, I expected her to get indignant on my behalf but she merely said, "Oh, it's time to get better looking bras!"

Spent the rest of the day at Nat's house with the gang. Played Wii (Huiwen and Jiahui, I totally rock at bowling now you know), Taboo and loads of other stupid card games.

Nat's brother ended up playing Taboo with us since we lacked a group member. But surprise surprise, Kyle, Mary and I sucked as a team and we lost to Lisa, Nat, Sab by more than half a stack. "You guys don't even have enough cards to make a stack! hahahahaha" Lisa cackled like an evil witch.

This was one memorable word. The word we were supposed to guess was "adventure".

Lisa: WHAT DO WE GO TO OBS FOR??
Nat: Camping?? Kayak?? Ferry??? HUH???
Lisa: NOOOOOOOO! OBS. You go to OBS for?? -gesticulates wildly as if that would help things-
Kyle: A DIET!!!

Sorry, but I just thought it was extremely funny. We ended with Kyle showing us magic card tricks.

PS. For Jiahui's benefit, Kyle is only 11. You can join the Paedophile Club which consists of Izzy and Huiwen.

PPS Huiwen begs to differ.

>huiwen:: *no wayy* f5cz f5cz f5cz! (no jx! :X) says:anw im not in the paedophile club ok

>huiwen:: *no wayy* f5cz f5cz f5cz! (no jx! :X) says: i was the pervert one actly

>huiwen:: *no wayy* f5cz f5cz f5cz! (no jx! :X) says:hahaha

oh right. So now we have Huiwen, who is in the Pervert Club. Seems like I made a mistake!

Okay, I have gotten over my pre-orientation jitters! For the time being. (not that my OGL has already called..)

Yesterday, Jasmine and I went back to IFPAS to collect our pay. We blew off more money at Waruku Japanese Casual Dining (the prices do not signify in any way that it is casual) and was about to head to PS to meet Pingfang after her drums lesson. But lo and behold! We knocked into Claire and Yuxuan shopping, so together, we went to PS! We also came up with Jasmine's caption for her council campaign. "IF I WERE A SUBJECT, EVERYONE WOULD TAKE IT." : DDD

On the way back, I coincidentally met my aunt on the bus. Halfway through the journey, the bus lurged and died. After the audible groan from everyone, we were ushered off the bus. It's ass was smokin' and thick black smoke was billowing into the sky! If you had a little creativity, you can see that the bus was like a rocket about to hurtle into space. That's if you get to tilt your head a little 0.o

I realise that I always have issues with buses.

My mum caught the flu bug recently, so she became pretty sick. Being the filial daughter that I am, I decided to be a good girl and help out with the housework. So while she was at the doctor's, I vacuumed the house, ironed all the clothes, folded them and sorted them back into their respective wardrobes.

After my mum came back...

Mum: Ooh. You ironed all the clothes already?

Me: Yep. I put it back into the wardrobes too!

10 mins later...

Mum: Did you iron the pile of clothes on the chair too? Cos the whole pile disappeared!

Me: yeah! I ironed them too! (I sounded too pleased with myself)

Mum: YOU DID?? So where are they now?

Me: Uhm. I put them back in the wardrobes already?

Mum: Oh dear. Those were the clothes I was supposed to wash. ):

Yep, filial piety gone wrong. Apparently I ironed and sorted all the dirty and smelly clothes which werer supposed to go into the washing machine. No wonder my Dad's shirts smelled a bit funny. Oops?

So together, we started sniffing through all the clothes that I so carefully sorted into our wardrobes and dumping them back into the washing machine. ):

To think I ironed them so prettily.

where did my leg muscles go? ): says: CRYSTAL

where did my leg muscles go? ): says: GOODBYE CRYSTAL

GOODBYE JIAHUI. Looks like we won't be in the same orientation group as each other after all since her OGL must be the most efficient person ever.

(10 mins later)

Okay, apparently Natalie got her OG too. LOL. This is so scary ): Plus, I feel like puking now after reading the circular letter to parents on RJ's website. I am not ready for school!!

DESPAIR DESPAIR. says: ok the ogl just smsed me to ask me if i can swim

DESPAIR DESPAIR. says: what does tt mean

I AM NOT GOING TO SWIM IN MY SWIMMING COSTUME OKAY OMGWTH.

If my OGL calls and ask if I can swim, I'm going to say, "OH SURE! I can swim, but you know.. it's not very convenient cause I got my little red visitor." hah. If it happens to be a guy, I'm going to say point-blank, "NO I AM NOT SWIMMING BECAUSE I GOT MY PERIOD."

This isn't supposed to be a post about pre-orientation jitters ): This is supposed to be a post about today and "The Laundry Day". I think I shall blog about it the next time when my nerves calm down ))):

Sleepover with Triple L's hardly has any variation. It consists of mainly eating, sleeping, swimming, wii-ing, eating, swimming, wii-ing and eaiting.

On Day 1, I was late (for once, JH was early and that's only because she lives a stone's throw away from Wendy's! It's hardly my fault). Because of the our tardiness (yes, even though JH reached before me, both of us were about half an hour late), we had to call off our plans to make sushi. So we proceeded to Cold Storage to stock up on food, went back to Wendy's house to eat. Went night swimming, then ate dinner. We popped a DVD in but in the end only I ended up watching everything. Since The Pig was assleep (HAHA this is not accidental), and Wendy was dozing off, I had to get out of bed to switch off the lights and DVD layer. Once I got out of bed, The Pig laid claim to it, spread-eagled and all. So there I was, relegated to the floor once again. But thanks to Wendy for sharing her mattress with me -.-

Day 2 was eating, eating, wii-ing, more water ballet and eating again. Wendy was feeling lazy so she sent us out to buy KFC and spicy drumlets. We were about to leave with her trusty lil ol handbag (all our wallets were inside), when she stopped us and took her wallet out for fear that we would steal it. 4 YEARS and you still don't trust us?! We felt so wronged.

(* Edit: Wendy claims that it was because she was afraid we would overspend. Oops, okay, I do have a tendency to forget out the little numbers at the notes. But well, I have JH with me, so no worries. HAHA)

Later on, I said to JH, "Eh, do you realise we can't get back in without her condo card?" (which was in her wallet)

JH: Aiya, then we'll just get her to come down!

Me: Uh, but we have her keys and technically, we did lock her in.

Say oops, anyone?

After a day of recuperating at home (MY BED!), I was whisked off to Serene's for another sleepover.

I arrived first, followed by Isz and Fang who took a cab from their reef walk.

I was standing at the garden, waiting for Serene to open the gate.

Me: HELLO!!
Isz: HELLO AUNTY! SORRY WE ARE LATE.
Me (thinking ): Huh? Where's Serene's mum?
Me: OMGWTH I AM NOT AUNTY?!?! @#$%^&* (while everyone keels over with laughter after a moment of stunned silence)

To save herself from her impending doom, Isz defended herself saying that it was dark and she did take off her specs to unfog them. I decided to believe her.

(Ruiling, if you are ever reading this, I swear if you say ANYTHING... ...)

I'm lazy to continue blogging, but here is an excerpt from Isz's blog:

The four of us were walking out to Island Creamery, and since Ser lives just a stone's throw away from SM Goh, we were laughing and joking about taking pictures with the handsome guard.

So we were just taking pics of ourselves, walking walking, then suddenly the guard asked us to stop and wait there while he calls out his commando! Seriously! I thought he heard us and didn't mind taking a pic with us! It was a remote possibility, but I wondered if he was calling the commando out so that the latter could hold the camera and help us take. HAHAHA. So the commando came out, and we were laughing and confused, but we knew enough to know that we were in trouble.

And Crys, ever the supportive friend, was by the side saying, "I didn't take any pics, you were holding the camera, can I go now?" Tuh! Well I was told that I cannot have any part of SM Goh's house in my pictures, so I went through the pics with the Commando. I was laughing like mad (I DID try my darndest to be serious!), especially when I pointed to a portion of wall with fern growing on it and asked "does this count?".

Super hilarious! In the end I deleted the necessary pics (Wall with fern is unacceptable! Unacceptable!), and we managed to go on our way without having to be handcuffed. I don't think 4 teenage girls with big shirts are that big a threat to national security lah. :)

---

The commando walked out in bloomers and an old tshirt please! Plus, all the pictures we took were superbly stupid I was embarassed to be part of the group. HAHA. Will have more pictures added when I get them!

Eating at Serene's always feel like high class dining : D

Sadly, Serene was the camera man.

Moving on, this year's loot was really good! : DD I got a camera, loads more clothes (Had a tough time squeezing into them though.) and about 200 bucks worth of vouchers. Shopping time!

Meanwhile, doom and gloom in 8 days time! ):

MERRY CHRISTMAS! : D I have been abstaining from the computer for a week! So now I have loads and loads to blog about, but too lazy to do so.

BINTAN TRIP... was okay. We couldn't do much since it was raining 3/4 of the time. So we are just lounging in the hotel room 3/4 of the time. It was buffets for breakfast, lunch, dinner. Speaking of buffets, that's when I met thiock.

I was at the buffet table at the restaurant, looking at the kins of food, when suddenly, I spied a man who looked so like thiock, it could be his twin. So there we were, like a scene from a kungfu movie (think thiock and I circling the buffet table, eyeing each other suspiciously. Fine, only I was eyeing him since yours truly was obviously under his line of vision).

Later, he saw me and waved. Gelling your hair can really make you look different 0.o Everytime he came up to the buffet table I had to carefully avert my gaze (I didn't want to appear as stalker to him) and it was just so weird. After loading up his plate, he came over to my table. Fortunately my parents were gone scouring for food too.

Thiok: HELLO!
Me: hello!
Thiock: So, did you just arrive?
Me: oh yeah. we just came on the ferry. you?
Thiock: yeah, we just came too.

Pause. (this pause is even more pregnant than the woman seated next to our table)

Me: so, how many days are you staying?
Thiock: 3 days 2 nights!
Me: us too!

Then silence.

Thiock: Okay, I think I'll go now!
Me: BYE! (visibly relieved)

... and thereafter, we met each other so frequently that it seemed that we were arranging to meet -.- I thought okay, we couldn't possibly meet thiock anymore, since we chose this secluded mix and grill bar for dinner.

10 mins later, Thiock strolled him with his girlfriend and sat down directly in front of me. He turned, saw me and laughed his nervous laughter we all know very well. Thank goodness my Dad is huge and blocked my view of him, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable playing gooseberry.

Dad: So that's your teacher? The tall one? (surveying thiock and sizing him up)
Me: Yeah.
Dad: Hah, I think I'm better looking than him!

Whatever you say, Dad, whatever you say.

We tried Archery on our second day, and my arm ached for the next few days afterwards. Guess no Archery for me in JC. Since it started raining, we just spent our entire day in the Leisure Centre. We went to the arcade (I rocked at shooting hoops), played carem (which I sucked. My mum took pity on my and donated a few of her tokens to me. My dad saw our cheating scheme and returned the tokens to my mum.), and table tennis.

Shopping was just sad, since everything was in Singapore dollars and I wouldn't pay 20 bucks for a porcelein cup which has BINTAN emblazoned over it.

While we walked past a Ralph Lauren shop, my dad saw this shirt on a mannequin and said, "Eh, nice shirt right. I think I shall get it."

To which I replied, "hahahahaha I don't think they have your size."

Dad said, "No, the shirt is SUPPOSED to look tight! So I can show off my chest." Then he proceeded to puff out his chest and strike a Mocca.com Check Out My Matching Pipes pose. I ran away before anyone could associate me with him, and bumped into thiock again.

Pictures up later! If I'm not lazy enough! More posts coming up!

Self inflicted injury number #2: I am now crying blood. Usually, people have their eyes brimming with unshed tears. I was brimming with unshed blood. Thank to my long and freshly painted sparkly gold nails, (They are filed rectangular, by the way) I accidentally scratched my inner bottom eyelid and blood gushed out. Okay, oozed out. Fine, they didn't. They trickled out. Slowly.

My brother, being the sadist that he was, thought it was all so cool and said to me: "TRY CRYING! THEN YOU WILL BE CRYING BLOOD!!" Lucky there wasn't enough blood to cry or else I would be on my way to the ER in hospital now. My parents got so freaked out and wanted to bring me to a clinic. But it's 11pm now and I'm sure all the doctors are home waching Star Awards. They wouldn't have been able to do anything anyway, since I got most of the blood cleaned up. Not like I can actually apply cream to my inner eye lid lol! My eye lid fees swollen now though ):

I thought I could garner some sympathy from Huiwen so I told her about my plight. She thought (like how my sadistic brother did) that it was very funny to be crying blood, hence told me to "stick a plaster on my eye and be captain hook for the day".

(FYI Self inflicted injury #1 was when I was 7 and I cracked my head. So there came a whole entourage of police cars and ambulance. Plus, it gave the neighbours free show since all of them came out to watch! Cool eh.)

Come to think of it, there was another time I broke a glass cup while brushing my teeth, so the next moment I knew I was clutching at glass shards, (Power grip, or what?) with the water running and the entire sink all bloody and red, but then again, I shall leave this story to next time! : D

Shall pack my clothes for my trip now! See everyone in 3 days! : D

I just started Physics tuition and I must say, my tutor is one little ray of sunshine.

It was only the first lesson and he was already going on about how even though 45 is the passing mark over a hundred, only 10 percent of the cohort will pass. Majority would get about 30 marks. Before we started, he gave me a little pep talk. Pep talks are supposed to raise your morale, apparently he must have gotten the definition wrong somehow.

"Try to pass all your H2 subjects! Then you can aim for a scholarship and your mum will be very happy. But I must warn you first, physics is very difficult to pass.. so you must be mentally prepared and not be demoralised!" he paused, "Actually, Chemistry is also not easy. Math also. Eh, ECONS also. hahahahahaah" I see no humour in his little joke, so I stoned. Cool beans, I haven't even started the academic year and I'm told I'm going to fail every subject I take.

"All my students find Physics very difficult! Most people will have trouble with it, including all my students. Noone can pass, unless you are very good. Even I cannot pass last time! NO LAH, how can I not pass hahahahaha".

You can see that the lesson mostly comprised of his one sided monologue, while I just stare on.

Halfway through the lesson, he suddenly exclaimed.

Tutor: Did I look the same?

Me (thinking it was some kind of physics trick question): Uhm. Yes?

Tutor: HUH?!?!?! (I nearly fell out of my chair in shock) REALLY AH? I LOST WEIGHT WHAT. (starts patting his stomach in an attempt to show the weight loss)

Me: Oh. Oh. (I honestly couldn't tell much difference. Okay, maybe he did look a bit thinner?? But I do not check my tutor out every lesson no -.-) Yeah. A bit!

Tutor (looking inexplicably overjoyed. Apparently I managed to smooth hi frazzled nerves hahaha) : I have been working out! : DDD My doctor said I needed to go on a diet.

He looked very pleased with himself. In fact, he was eating wholemeal bread during the lesson. Usually, he would be snacking on chocolates. I must take a leaf out of his book!

SPOILER'S AHEAD!

Huiwen, Jiahui, Jas and I met up to watched Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium. It may be a bit touching at certain parts (I teared and Jasmine, who was sitting beside me, bawled), but mostly I was just bored the pants off. I hope my fidgeting didn't annoy the people around me LOL.

Huiwen, Jas and I ate at The Tomato Soup at PS. Jiahui was being ano and thrifty. Apparently the staff at TTS hasn't heard of the government's not-so-new GEMS campaign.

The movie was a total bore! Okay in all fairness, it wasn't SO BAD, since the colourful emporium IS kind of cool. Reminds me of Fred and George's Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes actually haha But other than that, the plot was so boring!! Not worth the 8 bucks we paid.

And then there was this fuss about a sparkle in Mahoney's (That's Natalie Portman for you) eye, which I didn't get.

Henry the accountant (who plays Mahoney's romantic interest): I see it.
Mahoney: See what? (looks DEEEEP into his eyes)

(romantic moment, romantic moment!)

Henry: I see the sparkle in your eye.

Me: What the hell?! (Cos I ain't seeing no sparkle in her eye. )

Jas (turns around and whispered fiercely): YOU ARE SO NOT ROMANTIC!!! Next time your boyfriend propose to you ah, you are just going to scream "What the hell ?!" in his face.

Hello future boyfriend, I promise I will try not to scream "what the hell?!" in your face when you are trying to be romantic or when you are proposing. But seriously, I just don't see the fuss about sparkling eyes. Jiahui claims that there was a sound effect of something sparkling though. 0.o

Towards the end of the movie, I said, "The movie better not end like that man!" 5 seconds later, it ended and you could hear people in the cinema going, "Huh??"

Number of popcorns awarded: 2!

First and foremost, a HUGE THANK YOU to Wendy Wong (there, I bolded you name huge and big. Hope you are happy now!!)for helping me with my blog. I just suck at html, just so you know. If she didn't offer to help me, all of you would still have been stuck with my one year old layout, or if I try to be adventurous and attempt html tampering on my own, I wouldn't even have a blog now. It was because of my trying to insert some code that caused my entire blog to collaspe. I was just sitting on my com, staring at our MSN convo while she hyperventilates at the other end of her computer terminal in Sengkang, screaming to me online, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BLOG?!" I swear, nothing much! I shall now appoint you my blog manager! I think she's been helping me with codings since the day I got a blog. Help appreciated!

Anyway, it's ALL NEW AND REVAMPED now! Just a right start for a new year! : D Also thanks to jiahui for helping me find a few blogskins, (even though I bribed her into it), in the end I don't even know if I the one I'm using now is any of yours but your help is appreciated too LOL.

Blog issues aside, on Sunday, my mum decided to bring us to her own dentist all the way to Tampines, since she says it's much cheaper than the one in Heeren where I got my braces done. Guess 40 bucks for cleaning and polishing does make a lot of a difference. No wonder dentists earn pretty much too!

When checking my brother's teeth...

Dentist: BAD... BAD NEWS.
Mum (squawking): WHAT WHAT? IS IT DECAYING??
Dentist: Bad news for me, good news for you! Perfect teeth!

Later, my mum was asking how to whiten one's teeth.

Mum: How do you whiten your teeth?
Dentist: Oh, go make your face darker!

But he never did answer my mum's question -.-

Today was the last day of my job! (Poor Jasmine has one more day to go, but then, all's fair since I started work earlier!) I just know that I will not get a desk job next time. I must stop leading such an extravagant lifestyle. The amount I earn = the amount Jasmine and I spend on food. We totally splurged on Waruku Pasta (which you can read from Jas's blog) and Suki Sushi. Previous week's included expensive smoothies, countless mini-donuts, Da Pai Ding (some chinese restaurant), icecream floats, Chippy's, Fisherman's Wharf, gelato, yoshi and I can't remember what else. I bet I already put on 10 kg -.- I have more receipts than cash in my wallet as of now.

In a nutshell, the job itself is so DULL it makes me the most exciting person on earth. Without Jasmine alongside (to slack with me), I would make calls so ferverently you would see my extention flashing so much it would seem red all the time. With Jasmine beside me folding letters, we would laugh so much (fine, I would laugh so much), that we had to be separated. We kind of got the hint when our IC made sure we didn't work together. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted, folding letters into envelopes and freezing our butts off on the sofa.

4 hours of nonstop calling for so bad that this conversation took place. You must understand how torturous it is, as Jas and I will never be caught dead saying this to each other.

Jas: Oh no, I hope they let us work together again. I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU!!!
Me: ME TOO JASMINE, ME TOO!

And we will cling on to each other desperately, while our in charge claws us off each other. It's like some Korean drama where the lovers get torn apart. OKAY, IMAGE NOT VISUALLY APPEALING. Can't believe I just wrote that. EW. Wrong state of mind!!

By the way, that scene was just a figment of my imagination. We did not cling on to each other, no. Just maybe faces of longing... and desperation, while our in charge leads Jasmine up to Level 2 to do the calling. HAHA The look on her face, seems like she is being led to jail. If it weren't so depressing I would have found it amusing. (For the last time Jasmine, I DO NOT crush you. Stop trying to ruin my reputation. I still need it! )

But anyway Jas, it's been a pleasure working with you! (you better say likewise, even though it pains you to do so.) If we ever end up being colleagues again in future, I will just laugh my ass off HAHA

Too bad we only discovered MSN on our last day together though.

PS There is something majorly wrong with my cbox. Apparently, all my recent tags have been deleted or something! So now my cbox only shows tags all the way back in May 07 or something ): Tag more to help revive my cbox!!

My mum has issues with me sleeping before 12am. She will come bursting into the room if I sleep early, wake me up and demand if I am sick. I am just freaking tired this entire week of waking up early and sleeping late. I was actually about to fall asleep at 9pm, but no, my brother and her came back from dinner at 10pm and made a din, before her coming into my room and waking me up -.- goodness.

And in the earlier post, the point was that I didn't understand why she needed to sit outside and direct her comment at me when there were plenty other seats and plenty other people sitting on the inside. My question was just why couldn't she sit inside instead? If she asked me to move in because she PREFERRED to sit outside, I would have complied anyway, even though it meant that I would have to crawl over her lap to get out on the next stop. (okay exaggeration on my part but you get my drift.)

Okay, why am I still caught up over this. I am extremely grumpy, quarrelsome and irritable since my mum woke me up from my sleep (again). Being sleep deprived is taking it's toll on me.

I went to QY's house in the morning to watch the remaining DVDs we rented and later on accompanied her to KK hospital to get her hospital report ( fortunately everything was fine ).

We were walking from the bus stop to her house and I was blubbling with excitement over food + movies.

me: Do you have food? I'm starving and I haven't even eaten breakfast!

QY: Yeah, don't worry, I'll feed you up later..

me: Oh good, we need to have snacks during the movie too!

EXCEPT I DIDN'T SAY SNACKS. For some reason, I accidentally left out N in snacks and we all know how it ended up sounded.

The group of workers on the lorry turned around to stare at me. It didn't help that my voice is 2000 decibels loud.

Cabbed to KK hospital from KAP since it was raging thunderstorms then and we were running late. QY was just moaning and moaning about how she shouldn't even be treated in the Children's sector since she is soon to be 17 and all.

Later on, while making payment...

Nurse (in Chinese): That's $107.10 in total!

(I did not have a single dollar with me since I didn't realised all my money vapourised the day before. QY thinking that doctor fees were only $20 , wasn't strapped with that much cash either. Plus, she was paying for all my expenditure the entire day so far, and we still haven't had dinner. )

Me (thinking): $107.10? Cannot be lah. $10.70 right? (Yeah I though i might have misheard since Chinese wasn't my strongest suit and all)

But QY was cool as a cucumber, she took out her wallet and began rummaging through it. So I thought, okay, must be just 10 bucks then.

But when I glanced up at the cash register, I realised my chinese did not fail me. It was $107.10 in all its glory.

I couldn't help it, but I started laughing like a maniac and QY joined in. (I don't know what was she so happy about since she's the one that's going to be hauled to the police station)

But we left the hospital uncuffed, as there is something called AXA now. LOL

I intended to sms my mum that I wouldn't be home for dinner. But I didn't know what I was thinking, instead, I sent an sms to my mum saying "Mummy, I won't be home for christmas."' Tis being the yuletide season and everything, I guess you can't blame me for being so out of it lol.

Earlier on, Wendy and I watched Enchanted at GV. I don't see what the fuss about the movie is! Okay, probably since everyone was gushing about how nice it is ("THE BEST MOVIE IN THE WORLD!" -JH) it sort of upped my expectations, I guess. The thing is, most of the funny parts were already shown on the trailer and replayed on TV so many times over and over again, I couldn't bring myself to laugh again when James Marsden started singing and a bunch of cyclists tripped over him 0.o

I think Wendy enjoyed herself very much though, with her vast expense of knowledge on Disney movies, kudos to her brother. She was happily pointing out this little factiod that Enchanted incorporated most of Disney's princess stories into it. Later on, she had fun recounting all the Disney movies that were ever released with Snow White being the oldest, all the way to Shrek.

Arcade wasn't as fun as before! The coins we changed couldn't go into the slot and cheated us of a dollar because the game wouldn't start even after we inserted the coins in.

A word of advice: Gelare waffles plus mango sorbet is the worst combination ever. Don't try it!

Went home on the bus from Orchard and met Yuxuan who was coming from work. After she dropped off, this ass and her 2 friends boarded the bus, insulted me, made such a commotion and irritated the hell out of everyone. A feat only they could accomplish

They boarded the bus just when the lady next to me was getting off. She was in the window seat so I had to stand up to let her out. After she got off her seat, I sat back down at my seat again.

TELL ME. IS THAT SUCH A CRIME?

Apparently, yes.

This butch was speaking really loudly, clearly intending for me to hear.

Butch: OH I DON'T THINK SHE (me, obviously) IS GOING TO MOVE IN. SO INCONSIDERATE! If the bus was crowded, I would move in lor. (move in to the window seat that is)

!@#$%^&*9 ME, INCONSIDERATE?! FOR NOT MOVING IN TO THE WINDOW SEAT? JUST SO SHE CAN SEAT ON THE OUTER SEAT??? I wanted to shred her lips.

and the thing is the BUS WAS NOT EVEN CROWDED!!! It was only 3/4 filled and 80% of the of the passengers sitting on the 2 seater seat, was sitting on the outer seat. So why the hell she wants to say that I am inconsiderate is beyond me. Half the passengers were also inconsiderate then, according to her standards, but she had to direct it at me.

Why the hell should I move into the window seat so that SHE can sit on the outer seat? If she wants to sit, she can very well just go sit in the window seat beside me. Or if she would kill to have the outer seat that much, she can go in front with her friends where half the seats are empty and go plonk her sorry ass on one.

Okay, I guess I can understand that she would rather have the outer seat so that she can talk to her other 2 friends on the bus. BUT WHAT THE HELL SHE THINKS THE WORLD RESOLVES AROUND HER IS IT?! Besides I'm already alighting at the next stop so isn't it stupid to move in and let her sit beside me, after which I would have to crawl over her lap to get out?

Anyway, I'm sure some people don't move in to the window seat when there's a 2 seater, nevermind whether the bus is crowded or not. It's hardly an unwritten rule that it's a must to move in to the window seat when one is sitting in a 2 seater!

GOODNESS. If I were a cartoon, you would have seen me steaming on the bus.

Yesterday after our job, Jas and I met Pingfang and Yunting at Mindscafe, (which the 2 of them took ages to fine. Thanks to my extraordinary sense of direction, I found it straight away! : D) We played CoMotion and the way Pingfang mimed "milk" was just 0.o

She was attempting to squeeze an imaginary boob. (Can you imagine if she started milking her own instead?! EW. DISTURBING.) But then, Yunting did manage to guess the correct word. Jasmine and I just lacked chemistry. Half of the time I was just gaping at her trying to gesticulate phrases, verbs and nouns. For more information, read Jasmine's blog on Dec 5! Maybe Taboo is more of my thing than CoMotion, yeah.

Work has been monotously dull. Again, read Jasmine's blog for The Job Chronicles Part 2. There's even an illustration of the whole situation which I, as the protangonist, found superbly funny. I totally just burst out laughing when YH hinted that she knew we were stealing chocolates from the pantry. How embarrassing.

Once, S came down to the first level to do some photocopying or whatever she needed to do down there. She saw both of us folding letters and putting them into envelopes (feeling very much sorry for ourselves) and exclaimed loudly, "ARE THEY SISTERS?"

Jasmine and I just stared at each other disgustedly. (Although why she feels disgusted I have no idea! : D haha kidding Jas.)

After our job on Tuesday, we headed to far east since Jasmine wanted to buy clothes. I stood up when the bus was turning into the busstop, wobbled (again, I am also known for my extraordinary sense of balance) and grabbed on to what I though was the railing, but no. I grabbed on to a man's shoulders.

If it's a cute guy, so be it. But no, it had to be a 50 year old man, who looked at me as though I was trying to molest him.
