I brought dreams back into real life

I feel so stupid and at the same time i cant stop laughing about it.

I took a short nap and dreamt of wearing a diamond ring on my finger. When i woke up, i got angry because i couldn’t find the ring on my finger. I  went to my sister and started asking her,

‘Where’s my ring?’

‘Did you take my ring?’

‘I was wearing it just now.’

‘Who took it?’

She asked me, ‘what ring?’ and told me she havent seen it. I got really angry and started searching for it.

Omg, guess what? I had really believed that i owned a diamond ring. After thinking for several minutes, i realized that i never had a diamond ring in the first place. I was wearing it only in my dream. I cant believe i woke up to search for it. And to think i was angry at my sister when she told me she havent seen it?

haha. I brought dreams back into real life.

Play that record

Boyfriend booked out really early today. Met him after school and i must tell you, we’re becoming addicts of Sembawang Shopping Centre. We dont get bored of hanging around Giant Hypermarket for hours and we love having dinner at the makan place situated somewhere near the corner of the mall. haha. Nothing beats having a great place to eat, right?

Before i forget, i’ve yet to tell that i sucked at yesterday’s astronomy test. I cant believe i changed the correct answer at the last minute. I was so unsure. After the test, i checked my notes and found out that… the initial answer was correct. Now, i’m unsure if i should to leave the answers as it is or double check them for future exams. Either way, i always end up feeling frustrated. Its like… what the hell, right? haha.

Protected: I saw her wanting to kiss him.

Like a whirlwind

It is almost 4 in the morning. I am still up rushing reports and i’ve yet to study for my astronomy test! I’ll prolly start revising the notes at noon when the test is in the afternoon. I bet i’m not the only one stuck in this madness. So, high five.

It will, soon

Went for graduation today. We were not the ones graduating, but we were there being busybodies. We shared the happiness of the graduates and walked under the scorching sun while hoping for our final year to pass on really quickly.

It will. Soon. And i cant wait for 2nd semester to come because i want to apply  for schools!

Take the initiative

I was on my way to the train station today. While walking among the crowd, a man walked past and took out a $10 note from his pocket. He gave it to an old lady in a wheelchair who was selling tissue paper. Even when times are bad due to the current global financial crisis, its great to see that we’re  still showing compassion to others instead of selfishly keeping every single cent earned to ourselves. Now, when was the last time you showed compassion to the less fortunate?

Uber fun

Got to be one of the best time i ever had! The day started off with breakfast. Woke up early and bought the hotcakes meal for boyfriend from McDonalds. Spent some time at his place before leaving his house together with his sister. Went to collect his graduation robe from his friend before leaving for Causeway Point. Spent the evening sitting on our asses at the movie while watching ‘Angels & Demons’.

It was a pretty last minute thing when Maggie asked if anyone was free to hang out. Feeling hungry, i suggested supper at Jalan Kayu. You, know i have always preferred fish curry. So, when i requested for it at the cashier counter, i was told to pay 50 cents for a plate. Being frugal, there’s NO WAY i was  going to pay 50 cents for a plate of fish curry. I went back to the table and tried my luck by asking a random uncle if i could have fish curry. He too told me that i have to pay 50 cents for it. And so i thought, “Never mind. It’s ok.” The next thing that happened was… he came bringing me a plate of fish curry FOR FREE! I felt so thankful while Maggie accused me of seducing the uncle when obviously i wasn’t! haha.

After our supper, i wanted to bring them to Seletar Dam but i forgot the way.  I made Wee Kuang drove to the middle of nowhere and i kept saying, “Maybe it this way” to every lane till we ended up at an ulu place where only construction site was in sight.

We gave up finding for the place and even the GPS wasn’t of any assistance. Eventually, we decided to do a pit stop at Seng kang riverside park.

Since the place seemed empty and quiet, we didn’t really behave ourselves. We got all wacky jumping around and laughing at each other.

After getting enough of the scenery, we went off to Punggol Park. We made prank calls to our friends while pretending to be someone else. It may be evil to call someone at 3 in the morning, but it was funny!

Reached home at almost 5 in the morning. I had so much fun and i remembered hearing so much ‘ha ha ha’ throughout the night.

and stop bullying me by saying that i’m the only one without a driving license. You just wait ah! I’m going to secretly have one and the next time you make fun of me, i shall flash my license across your face! and that shall be in…. a few years time? haha.

Incomplete

I bought bedsheets last month, bolster last week and a pillow this week.

What’s next?

24 hours away from home

24 hours away from home. This post is going to be a long one.

On Friday night, met Fatty and others at Arab Street. We talked and talked till it was almost 4 in the morning. Thanks to the ghost stories they shared, i was scared to go home alone. Luckily, fatty asked if i would like to sleepover. I went with the idea and took a cab to Fatty’s house. I didn’t know i wasn’t going home, so i only had a bag of cosmetics with me. Thankfully fatty lend t-shirt and shorts for sleeping. We slept and woke up at noon. Bathed and left Fatty’s house in the afternoon.

Had lunch with boyfriend before going to SMU for a skincare workshop. We were supposed to do some “practical”, so they require us to wash our faces to remove our make up. I refused to do so because i already had concealer covering the dark spots on my face. If i wash it off, everyone will be able to see how obvious they are. So, i ask boyfriend to wash his face and try the products. It was funny. He tried the foam wash, powder lotion, moisturizer and the and nose pore pack. We learned about the proper way of skincare. It was informative and i  am feeling more motivated now to take good care of my skin!

At the end of the workshop, we were required to do a catwalk and strike a pose to show our confidence. Teenage magazine was there too. The winner with the most confidence will win a photo shoot with Teenage Magazine. Boyfriend was paisey to do so. It was funny. When it came to our turn to do the catwalk, boyfriend and i said, “No thanks.”

After the workshop, boyfriend had the enthusiasm to shop. We went to Marks & Spencer. He kept walking around the food section in circles before deciding on biscuits and cans of mushroom soup. We then went on searching for a pair of new sandals because he kept bugging me to get new ones. I was wearing a pair of sandals with broken straps, using only safety pins to secure the straps together. I really love the ones at Charles & Keith… but, it looked weird on my feet. We gave up looking for sandals and took a train back to Ang Mo Kio.

Dinner was at Pizza Hut. We ate till our fill before buying movie tickets to the show ‘The Uninvited’. While waiting for the show to start, we walked around searching for sandals again. I finally found one that i liked. Boyfriend bought for me and i immediately threw the old pair away.

Remember i told you i bought new bedsheets last month. It was incomplete because i didnt have a bolster. Well, boyfriend bought a bolster for me too! It was funny. We went to the cinema with the bolster. I think the couple next to us was laughing at us. But, hey, we dont care. It was comfortable watching a movie with a bolster. The show was awesome! Unexpected ending and some scenes were really scary.

Phew! I finally finished this post.

Take me away

I had a long tiring day. Look after a bunch of active kids in the morning, went for lectures and tutorials in the afternoon and did projects at night. I’m tired.

Went for relief teaching at a primary school in the morning. It was raining  heavily and because the buses were moving slower than usual, i was late. I had to rush while holding an umbrella in my hand.  I missed the flag raising ceremony but i manage to reach the hall in time to collect the class. OMG! I can faint. The class was quite noisy because they communicate to each other by shouting, not by talking. I had to constantly remind them to talk softly. They couldn’t stay in their seats for a minute. To keep them busy, i made them write compositions, gave them quizzes and i kept asking them to read passages from their textbook. At the end of the day, my energy level was equivalent to a dying battery. When i met Maggie for school, she said i looked pale and tired. Thankfully, i survived the whole day of lectures and tutorials. Already deprived of sleep, i had to continue doing my projects throughout the night.

OMG. Take me to lala land. Wherever that is.

The last two hours

Last Monday was awesome! (I know this post came pretty late) The first lesson was spent at the SP guild house. For  Final Year Project, my group plus some others will be doing rebranding for SPGG so as to attract more SP graduates to join in as members. Lunch was provided and we had the opportunity to mingle around with respective committee members.

It was a meaningful day till i decide to spend the last 2 hours watching Twilight in class from Kim’s laptop. haha.

Influential

Adapted from Batman Returns 1992:

As i was saying, i am a woman and i cant be taken for granted.

Life is a bitch. So am i.

I was watching Catwoman in Batman Returns due to boredom (Despite the fact that i have projects to rush). Listening to those words said by Catwoman, i suddenly had this playing in my head, “Dont mess with me.” Indeed, those are influential words from the Catwoman herself. haha.

Teleport

Its one of those weekends where boyfriend have got enthusiasm for shopping. Long hours of walking ended with our butts sitting on the cushions of the cinema. Watched X-MEN Origins: Wolverine. Omg, it was awesome! Hugh Jackman was so sexy!

I love watching X-Men since young. I must admit, i’m not those who would watch Barbie that much. I rather watch teenage mutant ninja turtles or batman. Anyway, among the characters in X-Men, i love Nightcrawler. I love his superhuman agility and his ability to teleport! He is blue  and is often said to have “demonic” looks. Being insecure and ashamed of his appearance, Professor X gave him an image inducer to hide his real appearance in public. I still remember one of the episodes in X-Men Evolution. Nightcrawler fell in love with a girl but he was afraid to tell her about his real, “demonic” appearance. He was caught in a dilemma because he was afraid that the girl might leave him after knowing the truth.

I didnt know what happened after that. I missed the following episode. haha.

The first pair

OMG. I finally jogged. My legs are aching now.

I did several different stretching before the jog.  From leg stretching to doing the crunch, i can hear my muscles screaming. I think i jogged more than 1km. It was 2 in the morning. No heat from the sun, only cold wind under my breath. And guess what? It was my first time wearing sport shoes!! I even wore FBT running shorts. So, it was weird seeing myself looking all so sporty. Really really weird.

I've got submarine, you've got gasoline

I’ve finally recovered from flu. I was  late for school and although i attended the class, my attendance was ZERO. Too much resentment makes me unmotivated to listen and learn

You dont need a red-nosed clown to make you laugh

Another day of laughing therapy

We’re just  young at heart.

Crack me up like heroine, baby

I’m tired. I’m sleepy. I have eye bags and wrinkle under my eyes. I fell asleep in the train while i was on the way back home. A lady had to wake me up when the train service terminated at a station.

On top of all those stress, i’m glad to have schoolmates who would crack me up big time. A bunch of crazy people whom i would bully, laugh and joke with. Most of all, i’m glad Kim is back in class with us! My partner-in-crime with so much in common. School wont be as great without her.

Projects are taking over my life. One thing i know for sure, i seem to be “less” lazy this semester. I dont dread coming to school and surprisingly, i’m there most of the time.

Sudden loud one

I was sneezing and coughing the whole day. It was embarrassing when i suddenly let out a really loud sneeze at the train station.  I could see heads turn. My friend came  up to me from nowhere and said, “Are you OK?” I guess everyone at that train station heard that. Paisey lah. In the train, i could see people avoiding me like i was carrying some kind of deadly disease.

Temperature taking commenced today. We are required to take temperature and submit it through SMS or web service twice daily. There’s restricted access and all staff and students are required to wear lanyards and display SP identity cards upon entry. My temperature for today was 35 degrees. So low, eh.

Supportive pillars dont break

These few days, i avoid bumping into anyone i know along the street due to my self-conscious emotions. I’m embarrassed to show the pimple scars and blemishes on my face.

During dinner, Terence met a friend of his. Thank god, i was having flu. So, i quickly took a tissue and started holding it against my nose. I was covering part of my face and was pretending to blow my nose throughout their conversation. My reactions may be stupid but that was the only thing  i could think of. After she left, i ditched the tissue aside and resumed eating as per normal.

When we were looking for a place to sit, i pleaded not to go to our usual spot because his friends were nearby. I didnt want take any chance of bumping into any of his friends. I told him to get a drink and sit elsewhere.

I know i can be annoying when i constantly ask, “Is it disappearing?” “Is it getting better?” “Is it that obvious?” “Is it very ugly?” I need to deal with the lack of confidence and low self-esteem.

“Dont be sad ok! I love you the way you are.”

That was what he said before i board the train. Thanks for being supportive. I appreciate it.
