HAPPY 500th POST,


so hey!
i was on Hotmail,
(a little fact about me: im the kind of person
who checks her email inbox every five seconds of her life haha)
and i was like, OH HAY! I GOT A NEW EMAIL!
so i opened it!
it's from Twitter!
i've got a new follower!!!!

well that's no big deal,
but i didn't know this follower so i clicked on his link under 'Website'!
it led me to his tumblr page so i was like oh okay, let's browse.
so i looked through his Tumblr while talking on the phone with Aqil,
and then something on page 8 caught my eye!





it's so touching when people mention my blog on their sites!!!
and okay my finding is pretty much the reason
why im so excited to blog right now!
so show Naim Rahim some love, ya'll!!!
idk how Tumblr works but i think you can start by following him?
hahahahaha.

im such a dinosaur.
but i refuse to move to Tumblr because i dont want the whole 'followers' thing.
i dont want the 'aceness' of my blog to be measured by my number of followers,
or the number of people who visit.
that's pretty much why you don't see any visitor counters in my blog,
or any "3 users online" kinda thing.
cause hahaha i cant be bothered to know,
cause im pretty happy talking to myself,
but that doesn't mean i don't appreciate people who appreciate my writings.
IT MEANS A LOT TO ME, i swear!

okay moving on.
gosh i've been spending so much lately, on clothes.
i solemnly swear i will not buy any more clothes for the rest of my teenage life.
okay no wait i cant do this, im still waiting for Dropdead's next collection
to see if anything catches my eye!
and there'll be end-of-year sales everywhere!!!!
urgh this is the pits.

but s'okay i'll earn all the money back!
im going to get a job.
im going to be pretty free when school starts
cause my timetable is so empty it's crazy.
i don't even have school on Wednesdays!
and it's not like i always go out on weekends.

oh yes! the job interview!
it was for a job at the prettiest bookstore in Singapore (i think).
there were two parts - verbal and written.
the written one was supremely demanding hahaha.
it was like 'O' levels all over again.
i havent sat for an exam since 'O's ended, you see.
my course doesn't make us sit for examinations.

so anyway.
the written part of the interview made me list out
- 3 of my favourite authors
- 3 of my recently-read books
- 3 pre-20th century authors
- 3 post-20th century authors
- 3 American authors/poets
- 3 British authors-poets

in addition, i had to match a list of authors to their books.
other questions include something like
what local book i would recommend to a tourist,
what ONE book i would recommend to the whole world if i could,
what book i would recommend to a customer who wants a light read on a plane,
etcetera.

heavy stuff, huh?
hahahahaha.
it wasn't that hard, but it was so pressurizing!

i kinda wonder what my life would be like if i had joined SP band!
i would still be making music and be part of talented and musically-inclined people.
i miss making music, i really do,
i cried when i found my old jvcb band file
and realize i could still read notes
and do the fingerings pretty swiftly,
after more than a year of not caring about the trumpet.
ah well. once a Peter always a Peter. =D
oh damn it i miss jvcb so badly.
i will dedicate a whole blog entry to jvcb soon!
here's to the best period of my life!

i kinda want to start jogging at night,
but that's crazy, me, jog?!
i don't even do stretching exercises or stuff like that.
i can't skip for a minute without getting my attention diverted!
i used to cycle a lot, all the way to Chinese Garden,
but the last time i did that was in 2006!
it's been four years since that douchebag stole my bike.
but eh, it's not like i'll cycle if i still have my bag.
i am far too lazy for that.
i am so unfit OH MY GOSH I NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!

a couple of months ago i vowed to do 100 sit-ups a day
and thought it was gonna change my life,
but i forgot all about it the next day.
DAYUMNNNN.


have i mentioned how much i love public transport?
there're so many strange and lovable people to ogle at!
NO IM NOT BEING SARCASTIC AT ALL.
i do mean it when i said lovable,
once i saw this apek (old chinese man) board the train
with a bouquet of flowers and smiling to himself,
looking all content.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?!
i imagine he was bringing it home to his wife
like how the men in Enid Blyton books do.
i told Ashleigh about the apek and she said,
"maybe he was bringing the flowers to his dead wife to put on her coffin."
that's quite a depressing thought. )=
but it's nice to know he still cares about his dead wife.
so i still like the man alot!

okay and the other time the train was crowded
and everyone was squeezed together
and this little boy wearing school uniform suddenly sat on the floor!!!!
RIGHT BESIDE ME!
i mean, i was standing, and he was sitting right beside me.
and i happened to be wearing a skirt that day!!!!
i didn't realize this until i alighted the train though.
he banged on me when he was trying to get up.
idk how this is lovable but he totally looked
like the little boy from the Disney Pixar film Up.
i cant even remember his name haha.
funny! i watched Up a few hours ago.
OH YES RUSSELL!!!



look, that's him! ='D
i totally felt like grabbing him by his shoulders and cheeks
and insisting that he has inspired the lives of many!!!
(wait this whole part sounds familiar, did i tweet it or something?!)

oh yes!
and one time in the train this makcik (malay lady) kept staring at me.
she had short blonde spiky hair and carrying bag with lots of studs on it.
FIERCE MAKCIK!
i didnt know why she was staring at me
but hey i kinda get glares alot when i go out,
ive kinda gotten used to it.
so i was like okay, i shall mind my own business.
when she was getting off the train,
she still kept looking at me and guess what i noticed?!
SHE WAS WEARING A PLAIN BLACK HOODIE!
WITH SHORTS AND STOCKINGS!
JUST LIKE MEEEE!!!!
we're hoodie buddies!!! ='D

but yeah it was kinda strange.
she looked 35-40 but she was wearing, um, young-people-clothes.
but oh well, like i always tell my mom,
you're never too young to do anything!
=D


i love days when the sun's hiding behind clouds
and the temperature's lower than usual,
and i'd be wearing just a hoodie and shorts
and stockings and my favourite Vans (i've only one pair of Vans, actually.)
and my hair would be pulled back in a ponytail with the usual feathers,
and i'd be travelling on my own to random places, and get lost,
and just watch life.
(=

one of the days i did that i got touched by some cheekopek on the bus.
i'll tell you what happened!
i was sitting and the bus was full,
there was a girl sitting beside me.
slowly the bus got emptier and emptier
and there were empty seats all around
and one man standing at the back of the bus,
about a metre away from me.
the girl who was sitting beside me got off the bus,
and the man sat beside me.

i DID wonder why he didn't take the other empty seats
but instead waited for the seat beside mine to be vacant.
but i brushed it off cause i like assuming that
all people have mainly good in them haha.
moving on!
DAYUMNNN he was sitting super close to me.
okay no not really, the thing was he sat with his legs wide open.
so his right leg was like resting against my left leg.
it was weird, but i had no space to move cause i was sitting at the window seat!
i didn't want to say anything cause
he seemed a little old and maybe he had leg problems hahaha.

so anyway i tolerated this for about six bustops when finally he rang the doorbell.
he was really swift and all,
i don't think he thought i noticed,
it didn't even occur to me that it happened until he alighted the bus,
but when he was getting off his seat,
his right hand stroked my thigh very briskly.
it was disgusting, obviously,
but it only struck me when he was walking down the steps of the bus
and yknow what, it's alright.
im not totally upset and traumatized and scarred for life,
just let it go.

... but the Bed Intruder song was stuck in my mind the rest of the bus ride.
i was like "ZANY, YOU ARE SO DUMB, YOU ARE REALLY DUMB, FERREAL.
THAT MAN GOT AWAY, LEAVING BEHIND EVIDENCE!!!!"
(there wasn't evidence but whatever)

if you dont know what im talking about,
you should head over to youtube
and search Bed Intruder song and complete your life.

i've been getting these little headaches lately.
they come and go... like an ex-lover lol wtf.
but seriously!!
DAMN YOU HEADACHES! YOU'RE TAKING OVER MY LIIIFE!!!!!!

i dont understand why each time i dye my hair
the colour just gets brighter and brighter.
hair, i dont recall dyeing you this shade of brown.
what the hell happened?!
can someone explain to me?

anyway i was thinking of getting a Golden Half.
it's just eighty dollars!!!

the downside?
it doesn't come with a flash.
and i dont knowwwwwwww,
maybe i shouldn't spend any more money until i earn some.
hahahaha.

ACTUALLY!!!!
this is only HALF of all the things i intended to blog about!
(trust me, i made a checklist.)
but i'm so tired and it's already 3am!!!!!!
i should sleep.
i'll blog again this week.

Be nice, or go away.
