hey ya'll! i'm in tokyo, japan now.
it's been a week since i was away
a week since i perspired
a week since i saw my handphone switched on
a week since i ate singaporean local fare

i kinda miss singapore
but nevertheless i think i like japan much more than singapore though

i'm stayin with the teo family and we're livin in e high-end area of hiro-o, shibuya, tokyo, japan.
yeah the place is really great
i went to many places and enjoyed myself so much

except for someone

anyway the people here are really interesting
and mind you, the japanese dress really fly
if we were to compare the fashion sense of singapore's to japan's
singapore would be no match to japan
the people look as if they've come outta an advert
and not only the young people
the adults and old people know how to dress really well too

and one thing i've learnt is,
the japanese really like to queue up, for everything

interesting stuff besides that:

the toilets are really cute, they've butt warmers, ass-washers and stink-removers...
instead of givin flyers in the streets
they give people 2 packets for tissue paper, hopin ppl would take it
whereas in singapore
you gotta pay 20cents for a packet

things are really expensive here
if you see a meal that's less than 1000yen (SGD14), you should be happy enough
parkin is also extremely expensive
in fact, nothin's really cheap here


and i've actually put my geography and social studies into consideration
i actually observed that japan has more males than females (yeahhh)
and a severely agein population
and the cost of livin's really high

so yeah
livin in japan makes me think bout $$$ all the time.

i've gone to many places
and anyway, the temp is really cold.
in a particular place, i actually touched snow
FOR THE FIRST TIME
cos ya kno, im not very fortunate to be able to go overseas often to snowin countries



yeah so i touched snow
exhaled VISIBLE steam
had lotsa fun
and i'm gonna do that for another week or so?
yeah hopefully i get a plane ticket back fast

this time, holidays got past really fast
and it's like, so short?
i can neva get enough of it!

ahh i really dun wanna go back to skool
but i've no choice eh?
i've got my fair share of fun

so, yeah, treasure this time i have now!


i gotta enjoy myself somemore, so

MERRY CHRISTMAS (which was 5+ days ago) and

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007!!! (in japan, the 1st of jan's really a big day 4 em, people start makin preparations for the celebrations and since friday, most ppl are on leave already. it's a really grand affair cos you can see decorations and all)

i'm lovin it

catch ya when i go back to singapore!

~~xoxo

Hola~

Well I realized I haven’t been postin mucho photos of myself. That’s cos blogger’s freakin slow! I mean, it takes, like, forever to load just a max of 5 photos at once? Oh well, maybe one day, when I’m free, which I’ll never gonna be, I’ll post some photos up. Or else, my blog looks really linguistic, like im some aspiring poet who ponders bout the mysteries of life and stuff.

ANYWAY. This post was supposed to be posted on new year’s eve or on the day of Christmas, but I’ll be away, so I think I’d beta post this up before I leave. Oh yeah and did I mention, im goin to japan!!! Kinda excited, although the mood’s kinda dampened even before we reach Tokyo, cos karen’s like so freakin over, way too much. She expects us to bring ridiculous stuff, and I mean a lot, over there. Among em were rice, mascara, cleanin materials, fish maw, textbooks and a bag. I mean, hello? We already have our own baggage to mind. And now, because of you guys, we gotta burden ourselves with 3 big boxes of YOUR stuff. That’s really selfish, and nasty. I don’t feel happy bout this, but I think I shall stop, before I get even more nasty. Cos we’re all currently quite peeved over this matter.

So as a summary, im goin to Tokyo to stay with Karen, Richard, ben and Bernie. I’ll be goin on the 23rd nite and comin back on the 5th. Maybe if we’re uber lucky, I’ll be able to come back on the 1st. cos if not, I’ll miss the whole first week of skool. That’s good cos I can skip spotchecks and boring first days, but no good cos I’ll miss lotsa lessons. It’s getting really cold in Tokyo, that’s why we’ve spent like 400+ on winter stuff.

Things are really expensive over there so I hope we won’t be bankrupt after comin back, survivin only on bread and tap water. I hope that despite the bad start prior to the trip, everything else will be okay. No squabbles, clashes of opinions or verbal dueling. I just HOPE everything will be super fine and that we’ll be able to enjoy ourselves to the fullest. PLEASE.

Oh yeah and I kinda counted, I won’t get window seats from sg to bk but I will from bk to japan. Man. I really like window seats but maybe I should be contented that at least I’ve e window seat on the longer flight. We’re transitin at Bangkok tho, that’s why. Anyway, it’s thai airways and I really hope that there’s personal entertainment, or I’ll be bored to death like durin the tiger airways trip. Please gimme personal entertainment- Singapore airlines rox the most!

So. Im supposed to do this every end of the year – 2006 reflections and my resolutions for 2007…

2006 reflections


it’s been a tough year. I thought I’d neva survive in the nerdiest, smartest class of 3bn. But I think I did pretty okay afterall. Im quite contented with my performance, academically but not socially, cos this year, friends were almost non-existent in my life.maybe someday I’ll elaborate on that cos it’s a really sad fact. Okay this year was quite exciting cos
I met so many gr8 ppl thru interact club – ryla @ m’sia and iltc!
I went on the most no. of overseas trips compared to the other years
I learnt a lot bout the true meanin of friendship, leadership and um, relationships? ~
most no. of shoppin sprees
most free time clocked to myself
most gourmet tastin
most boozing and clubbin
most stayin up the latest

and after a long battle within myself, I think I’ve really mellowed a whole lot. I used to be dramaqueen and all, but I think im beginning to lose that identity. Maybe 2005 I really suited it but in 2006, nah, that’s just history to me. Maybe I’ll try to shrug off that alias. Yeah and bout mellowin, yeah a big deal, I mellowed a lot, yes.

I thought 2006 will suck cos I’ll be in like a whole new world, well at first it kinda sucked, but I think im beginnin to like 3bn now. When I entered the class, I knew nobody but the volleyball people, which means like 5. I haven’t seen or heard bout the others at all. It was that scary. Actually bein in a ‘nerd’ class is great, cos I never had that much peace durin class time in my life before. In some ways this ‘peace’ became so annoyin to teachers cos they thought we were either stoning or givin attitude. But I liked this serenity. And cos we’re the ‘nerds’, most of us aren’t really involved in gang fights, bitch fights, scandals or big disciplinary problems at all. I like this purity. I don’t mind bein a ‘nerd’ cos at least I know that I have a bright future ahead, even though that might mean I may lose my popularity and street cred. Whats the point of bein in a lousy class, popular and all but in the end, you’re gonna end up screwed and l8r wishin that u had worked harder? Those ppl had it comin. Bein in 3bn makes me feel secure. I know that at least we all have this basic diligence, hardworking-ness and sense of responsibility. We do not slack that much and make the full use of class time. We know that tho it may be stressful, at least we know that e teachers are putting in e most effort for us, knowin that our results affect them very largely. Whether we fare well or not depends on em. So at least we know that our teachers are good. Bein in 3bn may subject us to some stereotypes and criticisms such as ‘you don’t think that just cos u’re the smartest means you can have it your way’ and ‘don’t put on airs cos you’re smart, don’t think that you’re on top of it all, smug ppl!’. Yeah but at least I think we’ve some respect, like ‘whoa, 3bn, not bad’ and also, we’re less prone to spotchecks. I thought everyone in 3bn were hardc0re nerds, well some of em are, but some of e others are really kewl and fun, this I learnt from the chalet. I thought it’ll be borin but at least nerds can have fun times too! Im beginnin feel like I actually belong to this group of ppl (in a good way of course) and that it’s actually good for me. No point bein in bad company what. Yeah so I like my new family, its cool.

2006 also made me see the serious hardworkin part of myself. It was e year where I actually did make effort and think bout my future. I worked hard to get what I want, not only academically okay. I have life, too.

I may’ve lost practically all of my ‘friends’ but at least I now know who’s really worthy and who isn’t. I’ve learnt pretty important lessons that ought not to be forgotten.

2006 was overall quite great. And a huge milestone in my life too

well don’t you think I sound a lil emotional and sensitive? Okay lets lighten up or somthin.


So

Fast Food Freestyle

this is kewl stuff ya~

hola atcha ~

how i spent muh days:

sat- buy winter clothes
sun- buy winter clothes, go borin shoppin with folks only to hear em quarrell time and again. as a result, i can't take it and i asked em to get a d* and just leave me outta all their quarrells. also the japan trip was said to be cancelle cos of this. i'm confused, are we goin or not? did we spend 400+ of dosh in vain?! sadness turned into disappointment into anger into rage. im really puzzled. but i try not to care.

mon- supposed to meet cass but she went sick. so met jos and boy she's neva early, but still always rushin me, sayin that i'll be late. so next time if e meetin's 11, i'll go at 12.~ ok so met celine at heeren to get ticks. den went bugis with jos and c to get a lil somthin to wear for tues.

tue- was glambassador day. cass was supposed to come but she was sick, so wasted! met jos at 6, went to her house to get dressed, and boy were we dressed to the nines. the theme was to be glam, and i guess we were TOO GLAM cos everyone was wearin their usual slutty clubbin outfits. ok so we ate, den went to zouk. then there was drama: (kinda)

3boys, 1 girl, 1 superunderage(me)
c, j, d went in first. me, l, stay behind
after awhile, d came out, handed me j's ic
we 3 went in and gosh it was easier than i thought.
i queued up, gave e bouncer 'my' ic
and e bouncer didn't even look at me and gestured e way in
okay i so hafta tell you
I LOOK OLD
so even the other bouncer asked 'are you underaged'
i mean, it should be obvious rite
but thanks to outfit and makeup, haha
so i said uh yes.
den e rest was shit
cos it wasn't really fun
like a pageant kinda thing
the ambience was ok
but since it was ALCOHOL AND SMOKE FREE that day
it wasn't that hyped up.
the bartenders were daydreaming
and cos it was tues, e ppl were really dead
i mean,REALLY DEAD.
even when a nice song played, they were all like oblivious to the seriously thumpin music and continued chattin.
practically no one was shakin or gyratin or groovin at all
i wanted to of course, but i'll look like a freak
there weren't enuff seats, of course
we were so bored that we left quite early.
u could tell that it wasn't much of a success cos at 10 plus most ppl were already leavin.
many preferred to stand OUTSIDE zouk haha.

so l8r we went to this really shady pub in boat quay
drank CHIVAS REGAL, which was like hundred plus per small bottle!
and i drank quite a lot, compared to my usual standards
played some games usin liquor as a forfeit
and the truth or dare was pretty horrible.
i need to wash my mind with soap or somthin
lalaed till 4+.
at that time the streets are pretty quiet, except for clubbers and fat irish people drinkin their muga beer
and muh mates were pretty drunk and hung over
cos some MERLION-ed (a new word i learnt), some had a bad time in the toilet and SO ON.
oh yeah actually mixing CR with coke and green tea's quite cool, it masks the liquor taste

okay so wadeva we reached home 4+, slept 5+ and that was pretty much it.


bouda- nice reco man~
and to e 2, pls don't l* me pls~

hey all

i just got back from 3bn class chalet yesterday

here's what the chalet was all about, as in what we did:

5/12

met cass at tanah merah. almost late. so minyu, yiting, zhengxiang, yunhan, yihui, cass and i took e bus to nsrcc. l8r realized that i went there b4 4 my father's company's chalet. so we took quite a long time findin e chalet. no. 17. it was at the end of the whole nsrcc place. damn far. so we settled down, played some card games, den bought chips and drinks at this really small minimart, den sat down and chilled, den went out to the arcade, where cass and i spent a lotta dosh playin this stupid coin pushin game. after that played the football thing - quite fun. after spendin enuff dosh, we went to see the other ppl play bowlin, quite fun, camwhorin and takin shots of ppl bowl. after that was BBQ! i think cass and i are slackers, cos when they were makin e preps, we were playin volley. after that some guys from opposite bungalow played with us. soon it was dark and we began eating. i hardly made e food but was eating all the while. sorry guys! den guowei's mum was super sweet cos she brought food, and really yummy ones. after bbq we went to play volley again.we were tired after a few hours, and really sweaty from the whole day and the bbq.i couldn't go back to e bungalow cos they were watchin a horror movie so a few girls and i chilled outside. we were given half a tub of ice-cream. ate it with fervour but stopped after realizing that 20 ppl shared e same spoon. e gals continued eatin. and luckily i only ate 2 scoops. cos cass told me that SOMEONE sneezed into it. oh gosh.after that we went to walk at the beach. it was really dark and really itchy cos e plants kept ticklin our feet. after that, we went back, bathed, watched a nice action-packed movie. e air-con was blowin at my face man. we were really tired but persevered to watch the movie finish. after that we went to sleep while some really strong people sang the whole morning through. as in karaoke. and not only that. they had sung the whole day. no wonder their throats were hoarse the next day. haha.

6/12
so at 6+ we were awoken to go see the sunrise. went there. realized it was bright already, so went back to sleep. woke up at 10+. ate breakfast, e guys were real nice cos they made bread for everyone. after that, watched a movie. and literally stoned the whole afternoon. it was quite boring. at 4+ cass and i came back, ate FROZEN CURRY, which was actually quite nice after microwaving. awhile l8r, e guys came back. and we went to an eating frenzy. also we were like scavengers, eatin wadeva we found. GUOWEI, i realized, is an extremely creative chef. he CREATES DISHES that are very exotic. his 2 dishes include:

1. peeling last night's chicken wings and using the chicken meat and chopped carrots, microwave em. after that add cold full cream milk and serve. oh well. it was not bad tho it looked yucky.

2. using the carrot leftover from the dish above, add with chopped apples and add ice. then add full cream milk. real wacky.

after the eating frenzy, went to play bball with the guys. wow that was my first game and it was real tiring. after 5 mins, i was really worn out and panting. no wonder MOST bball guys are thin. and bein e minority gender (girls) and playin with guys wasnt really nice, cos you couldn't get rough or wad. you know, modesty and stuff. we can't just go crashin and pushin with the guys, ew, too.

after that, we ordered macs, which took 1.5 hr to arrive. so xs cass and i went to play pool. when we finished and came back, we realized that the food had come and yet no one informed us of it, how nice. so we ate cold food, thanks. after food was mainly stoning. then we were so bored that l8r kc, sk, cass and i went to cheers @ changi village to buy some liquor. it was quite exciting cos we're kinda goin against the law. so we took the last shuttle bus, den bus 9 ova there. kc did a trick den the cheers guy was quite nice and allowed us to buy. we drank for awhile, and too bad i didn't see my cutie japanese subway guy. cabbed back, and boy, singapore airport's real huge man. so reached bungalow, and all of us liquor drinkers were gettin hot. and i was the most hot one. real flushed up. haha. bathed, which i was rushed cos kc wanted to shit. so washed ice age2. and realized SOMEONE snored! haha~. most of us were knocked out so we stopped the movie. this time, cass and i had one bed to ourselves, instead of 2 per bed the previous night, shiok!

7/11

woke up 8+. ate breakfast, did last minute packing. it was rainin and we missed the bus, and mind you, shuttle bus at nsrcc leave on the dot. so we stoned at the bowling alley. l8r when we went to the shuttle bus stop, realized the bus was turning out of nsrcc! in the rain we ran after e bus and cass belt dropped, hilarious man. l8r e bus u-turned. so we ran like fools 4 nothing. boarded the ice-cold bus. and we were the only ones there. after that went home.

end of chalet

was quite boring, but had some really fun times playin with my classmates. also realized some FUN and NASTY facts bout some people. oh well.


anyhow

there's this underage party at zouk on tues, but i dun think i can go, cos of p* and t*. sigh.
