hey. this blog is currently giving me so many problems with the html and stuff. so here's the new blog!
http://cherispeaks.blogspot.com
relink and cya folks!
alright, i think that EARTH IS really huge. after seeing pictures, i realised that there is more than what i know and can see! and since i aint got enuff moolah to go to every place in the world, i watch travelling shows and see pictures and magazines. and perhaps you dont know but my ambition is not to be an accountant/doctor/lawyer blah blah but actually a TRAVELLING SHOW HOST. yeah. that. like anthony bourdain ^^ and those on discovery travel and living, lonely planet...
below are real pictures, not taken from any website:
1. SYDNEY
business district
fountain place with lotsa flags of other countries
sydney harbor bridge
luna theme park. free entry! only pay for rides you seat
world heritage site (for dunno what's sake) - sydney opera house
sydney fish market. just look at this picture alone. explains the fact that australia has many asians.
but the waters abound with fish
toldcha this place is full of concrete. the small thingy in the middle is actually a fourwheeldrive. how small it seems.
its not hills in the background, but rather, hills of concrete
hotel at mundra
expansive land.
central bilbao
while the same thing is in roppongi district, tokyo, japan. how coincidental, eh?
bilbao wet market. im sure this image will enrage animal activists. and its rather disgusting. behind those beheaded heads are sausage stuffed with their meeat. totally EW , just dont display the heads, please. typical scene of a wetmarket in spain
still bilbao
i wonder if they hired the same architect in both bilbao AND in prague. the pictures look uncanningly similar.
narrow streets atypical of european countries. nice place, eh!
yeah these are some of the places that are really beautiful and after watching discovery travel and living almost every moment, there are so many more places that are breath taking. totally impossible to have 'around the world in 80 days'. more like 80 years!
930-10 wake up
10-1030 breakfast : frozen yoghurt (yoplait)/fruit parfait, apple juice, knackebrod/waffles with maple syrup
1030-12 watch movie
12-1245 swim
1245-115 suntan
115-2 sauna
2-3 lunch-tea: green salad, macaroons of different flavors, scones/cake, lemonade
3-5 sleep, watch tv
5-6 do some work
6-8: play piano/learn a language
8-930 - dinner: pita (with fillings)/tapas , pasta/rosti, salad of a differnt kind, lobster bisque/mushroom soup, enbarsdrika
(if theres sth on schedule, then plan changes from 6)
okay this sounds like some couch potato/lazy pig/ food gourmet's lifestyle
haha i am a food connoiseur and that is sth i cant deny
after o's, go brazilian/swedish/spanish/french with me okay!
WHAT THE BLEH!
today's lit consultation and some ppl from ep decided to gatecrash (oops) so oh well. e more e merrier.we didn't have questions to ask anyway.
so this weird guy from cr comes in (shant say the name but its pretty obvious). he talks weirdly, looks weird and IS very weird. its not that i care about looks and didn't mind e ep ppl gatecrashing (because they look quite normal). but e moment he came in i couldn't stop laughin.
so he comes in and even though mr soon aint his teacha,
"hello mr soon. (stutters and mumbles incoherently). can i zzzzoin in? i hv a fiu questions'
we are good ppl so we allowed him in.
some weird lines from him:
'so do we have tuu compant (thats what i heard) the sources. must we use the compant' this sentence was reiterated like 5 times and no one understood.
'so what about the eeeeshu (bah blahblah)'
all these while yiting and i kept laughin to ourselves and it was quite bad i admit but we couldn't help it. there was this point where i just couldn't stop shaking and tears actually came out cos i was laughin like some loco freak.
then, everytime we laughed, the opposite guy saw and he wuld steal laugh (they say its tou xiao). i like -steal-laugh- expressions they're hilari0us!\
after the ep ppl went off the cr guy insisted to say. mr soon was being quite funny and mean cos he kept saying shoo and go away and stuff like that to the guy. cos afterallwe booked him and are his students, not that guy. so the cr guy was like pleading. and we settled that he could sit in but couldnt say a word or ask to elaborate. how mean!
haha enuff of that incident
anyway the results thingo is out on the ugly green canteen board near the vending machines.
yiting counted that 32 (OR 34 cant remb) of our whole class ARE ON THAT LIST! HOW GREAT! i love me class keep it up pple!
okay so monday is a big day and tuesday is a even bigger day. this weekend's gonna be tough. lets pull through and hope that my disgusting inconsiderate loud and uncivilised new (ind***) neighbours would cooperate and maybe realise that they need to lower their tv volumes, talking volumes, jingles of their bangles (maybe due to dancing in preparation for deepavali),considering to cover their mouths when they sneeze and not sneeze so loudly like theres no tmrw and make my bed and walls vibrate and lastly, to just GET OUT OF MY SIGHT (not literally) and mAKE THEMSELVES UNHEARD AND UNSEEN AND WHATeVER.
(see above paragraph. in literature, run on lines are indicative of a state of mind. go figure)
total change in lifestyles. totally weird. totally stressed.
but totally psyched to think of what WE'RE all gonna do after that.
alright. pray for me mothafuckas!
isn't it ironic?
that you expect THIS to happen, but in the end, THAT happened?
isn't it ironic?
how you never expected this matter to turn out well but in the end it turned out so well it baffled you?
isn't it ironic?
that you never expected another matter to turn out badly but in the end it turned out so bad it overwhelmed you?
isn't it ironic?
that you get the things you want MOST in your life when you LEAST EXPECTED it, thus givin you a surprise?
isn't it ironic?
the world is an enigma that no one can ever solve.
this is getting really emo!
a typical teenager. lookin rather okay.
probably at home studyin or restin.
wow. this girl's pupil is really huge. wide-eyed? with? love? no my friends, wide-eyed due to poisonin of bella donna.
she doesn't spend time at home doin 'normal' stuff like other 'normal' teens would be doin. she promised never to get back to her old habit that she indulged in, two painful years ago. and now, the habit's got to her. SELF-MUTILATION.
she just can't stop. and even if she wants to, it won't allow her to. IT just continues, on and on. looks pretty much like a french manicure, if she leaves it for three seconds, no? it freakin hurts, but she can't help it. this life is breakin her down.
she has to find a solution.
she has to kiss goodbye to her life, which was never more than a seemingly perfect facade.
au revoir...5 things
5 things you didn't know about me:
1. i am originally centre-parted, and still am.
2. i like countrysides and suburbs more than shopping centres.
3. i sleep on a double decker bed.
4. i love to eat.
5. i have a weight obsession and have distorted views about image.
i'm sure one or another is something you don't really know. and there ive said it!
and i seriously am not emo, haha.
thankfully i managed to do sth with my day. and watched evan almighty with weng and suansuan. its hilarious and nice!! e guys are quite fun to be with, haha.
and im SO BACK into the retro times. i want the beehive!

ohy eah, i cn finally start on my french and spanish already. merci and gracias to paps!
till then,
say hello to fall 2007 and a beautiful laid back life!
finally i have a break to my prelims. so here's what we did on thurs. we went to watch HAIRSPRAY MY FAVORITE SHOW THAT IVE BEEN WAITIN FOR SINCE E BEGINNIN OF E YEAR!
it just ran so heavily suddenly and it was quite amusin seein all e teachers and students struggle. with my freakin mini jap brolly, bigm and lilt borrowed a spoilt brolly from the general office and we walked out in the pourin rain.
they're all freakin freakin drenched. i wasn't that good either:
our sox got sooo wet and our shoes were disgustin. so we actually went to buy flip flops from ripcurl! damn cheap too!
yeah and HAIRSPRAY WAS THE BESTTTT!!! it had such a clear hidden message bout the racism btw whites and blacks. sooo meaninful. and did i say, i love broadway plays!
so after that, we shopped at DAISO for teacher's day pressies and we walked for a realalalaay long time. after that. went to muh fav. gloria jeans and i finally got my salad.
evn the receipt had muh big name xd:
i received a huge surprise at gloria jeans. but oh well xD
after that roamed for quite a while. and its alright, yiting! dont needa feel bad haha
oh yeah b4 we left we went outdoors to make a video for mrs INDRA! it was hilarious and we were luffin like hyenas and attractin all e attention. and big m is finally smilin properly:
and this is big m lookin like sth from 7th month:
yiting and i; we looove this place! hahaah
so after that we took da subway den we went to raffles place where my dad fetched bigm and i home! sooo tired.
anyway,
thanks SHAUN. it's really sweet xD
and
THANK YOU DARIUS! U'RE SOOO ADORABLE AHAH
SOS PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.
i just discovered i can be really emo too/
I LOVE BLACKS!
so jos and i have been arrangin to hang out together for a raelly long time so finally there's these few days of vacation! so we decided to head to sentosa to take some pictures for out album and also to check ppl out (yeah rite).
took e monorail from vivocity. then we reached! it wasn't quite as sunny as we'd expect it to be. jos was like, how bout my tan!!!
and there were lotsa ppl there. maybe cos of the public holiday. and not that im racist or wadeva. but 80% of e ppl there were mainland chinese and indians. like north south east west all around u were indians! and they were really loud.
we were quite unprepared. forgot to bring picnic mats to sit on! i forgot to bring towel and stuff. and it was only two of us, which made us feel quite awkward.
so in e end we rested our freakin asses on the sand. then we realised that we opened an ants hole. right on!
jos looks so happy. and thin.
i felt really restrained by my big white camisole. was my mom's. and i felt real old with it. so what the hell. i took it off and those indian men were like... ~!@#$%^&.
my hair looks short from here
then here comes messy hair.
oh yeah the indians just placed their duffel bags in front of where we were sitting and took off their pants. they jumped into the water wearing their underwear, not swimsuit! crikey/
okay. some last picture b4 those indians pissed me off and we went to palawan. and i hereby highlight i AM NOT A RACIST. its just that they happened to be in the way.
so we went to palawan which was much more crowded and sunny. yay!! ideal for suntanning. so we jumped into the dirty murky green waters cos e heat was overbearing. and we told ourself to keep our heads above e water. e water stank. and this indian man;s beach ball landed on the water, causing all e water to splash on my face. damn its salty. and thanks
after dippin ourselves we went to sit. we used the japanese map as our 'picnic map' . thats called innovation xD.
so jos and i talked about really private stuff that i wouldn't even dare ask anyone. like really private stuff. she talked bout her troubles, i talked bout mine. shes e best sista i could ever have. thanks ya! and so we decided to drown our sorrows in chocolate and nachos.
talked there for a really long time. l8r asked this guy to take this pic of us before we left.
and again before we left, we kinda destroyed this couple's sandcastle. this was before. i didn't take e after picture, my bad.and jos insisted we beta leave our mark. so there u go. the date was awesome. 9/8/7.
alright. our next destination - raffles the plaza hotel! we were there to catch the national day parade. karen paid $470 a nite for it. rich rich rich, man! view from our balcony:
those red dots are ppl/!!
we felt a bit bored. and realised we could do with some spa. so i sneaked in entry and lied point blank to the person in the face i was 18. im gettin better at this.
oh yeah b4 e spa we went to swim.
we were chattin on the sunchair when suddenly i saw a big red singapore flag flyin past.
so everyone got high. ppl came outta their hotel room, screamed and waved. i stood on the sunchair, jumped, screamed and all e caucasians were loookin at me. oh well. my country what!
didn't manage to take pic. but that was what i got.
oh yeah i think i have high resistance. even tho e pool was cold, i could withstand it. jos was shiverin within the first minute! so after 5 mins we left e pool. headed towards e spa. we looked quite funny walkin around e hotel with wet towels draped over my bodies. haha
on the way to the spa, i realised how luxurious life can be. there's private aromatherapy rooms and u can just faint (in a good way) when u get a whiff of those oils.
so we went in. and its freakin posh! used the cold plunge (5degcel), bubble pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. then we started pouring out our troubles again. and i feel we are like tais tais. my aspiration. (right).
you can really get emo at this place.
ah. toilet.
e steam in the steam room's like at 100degcel. it got real hot in the hot rooms and real cold in the cold pool. my skin was like on a rollercoaster (not very app. comparison)
l8r we kinda sensed the fireworks were bout to come out. so we drank some water, and dashed to the hotel room. we could hear the fireworks in the lift. the impact was quite great. when we reached the hotel room, it had already started. awwwwww. i took a video of almsot the whole thanng. will upload l8r.
tryin to be emo
actin happppy
and so we hung out tilll quite late. i went home with michael and family. and sleptreally well. jos and i both agreed that our skin was really pampered and we felt awesome after the spa!
im alone now.
