My Christmas Wishlist

It's little early, but whatever, the decorations are all out on Orchard already.


1. Vans Authentic Black Canvas

2. Vans Authentic White

3. Vans Authentic Scuba


Yes I know they are basically different colours of the same shoe, but have recently come to appreciate the classic form of the Vans Authentic (Plus the sole is high - totally need that boost), and LOVE them in these colours. There are people who collect these shoes, so this is just the little league, okay. Plus my parents bought Trudy a pair of $200 Adidas sneakers (ridiculous) a long time ago, so $89 x 3 really doesn't sound so bad. Right??

Trudy and I have come to realise that, in a sense, we get just about everything we really want (in a very spoilt way, obviously), so we're gonna be asking for them. Haha I just realised, we are just like the xiao ba wangs we write about in bao zhang bao dao for Chinese! (Sorry, Chinese O's withdrawal) Still, getting the same pair of shoes x3 is a bit of a stretch, so have started scheming with Trudy for a way to get all three pairs. She wants the Scuba pair, and I tempted her with the idea of being able to rotate between 3 pairs of Vans i.e. being VANS-TASTIC. (Term coined by my own genius)

So I'll ask for the black pair, and she'll ask for the Scuba pair. Perfect. Then next year if I still feel like it, I'll ask for the white pair for whatever lame achievement I get that I will demand be rewarded. PERFECT.

What I'm afraid of is that I won't be able to find these exact colours (especially the Scuba pair) in Singapore. Then I'm gonna get srsly pissed.

OH MY TIANZ

THE CHINESE O'S ARE OVER! Wheehee!

Such a sigh of relief. I was absolutely terrified for the O Levels, it seems like such an official exam, what with all the stupid rules and regulations. My hands were shaking as I did the first half of Paper 1, how exaggerated. It really wasn't that intimidating after all, I realised after a while, mainly cos only a quarter (?) of the hall was filled with the small IP cohort, and my prime location right at the corner of the hall, just behind all the air-con hurricanes. A Levels, hmm, might be a different story. But still a long way to go. (not really)

SO sick of studying Chinese, I tell you. It's like all I've been doing for the past week has revolved around Chinese - cheng yu, fan wen, xuan zi tian kong deng (oh gross, see what I just did). Last night I even dreamt in Chinese, it was like, people were talking to me in cheng yu. Creepy to the max.

Hopefully today was my last time taking a Chinese exam (fingers crossed toes crossed eyes crossed) - having to take H1 Chinese is such a dreadful thought. And hopefully I won't completely abandon Chinese when I stop having Chinese lessons - it happens to so many people. For a Chinese person not to be able to speak Chinese, it really is a such a xiu ru. (Oh gross! I can't stop thinking in Chinese!) One of my New Year Resolutions would be to get Chinese books to read in the new year, and yes I will do it. I have like, one of the most jian ding yi zhis in the world.

Anyway, while I try to store away the scattered Chinese word documents into folders in the Desktop of my brain, I will slack like no tomorrow. Went to Yoshinoya after school with Jordana, Yitong, Lihui and Novia. I will spare the details, my life is not that mundane, such that I have to blog about what I ate (beef, I like beef) and whatever sauce it came with. Came across this bengz blog once, one post was basically:


"Today went Yoshinoya with baby, I had chicken cutlet rice with teriyaki sauce and baby had the fish with platter."


Do people really care about this? Good gosh. This is what I call bloring - Boring Blogging. Not that my own blogging is the Cat's Pajamas and the Bees Knees, but still.

I digress. So after the paper Jordana, Yitong and I made our way to Far East for cheapo clothing that turned out to be not so cheapo after all. Yitong got her nice black pumps, and for someone who wasn't intending to shop at all (I wanted to go home and sleep after the paper, so sue me) I bought a shameful amount of stuff. Even Jordana who came prepared to shop only bought a dress. I bought:

1. A LBD (A Little Black Dress, for the fashion-stoopid.)

2. A red/white/blue checkered shirt (It reminded me of 3D glasses, I couldn't resist!)

3. A cute foofy half-top from Hula and Co. (I blame Jordana!)


When I'm sad, I shop. When I'm happy, I shop. You know what I'm going to be when I grown up?

Broke.

Gosh do I remind myself of Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic. It's like instead of the secret mountains of credit cards and credit card receipts I have my big bag, which I use to sneak my purchases past my parents, haha.

But it was fun. :D And it is time to start having fun!

Holidays wan sui!

Why Am I Watching First Class Again

Compelled to watch First Class with my mum and sis in my parents' room, while I fret over which subject combination to choose.


Me: What accent is that woman speaking in? English? Australian?

Mum: I don't know. Fake?


Hahahaha.

Taeyang's latest music video! No I do not sound like a fangirl!


Where U At by Taeyang

Taeyang (who is my favourite member of Big Bang, my favourite Korean boyband at the moment, gosh forbid you do not know this) = my ideal guy look. There is no doubt. (Did I mention we have the same birthday, eeheehee.) For a while it was Edison Chen, but right now it's like: Edison Chen? Who? Oh yeah, the guy who made his own porn.

But OMG. A chinky Chris Brown without the Rihanna-bashing? Sexy. And Taeyang is really adorable in real life too, so that's sexy and adorable. THE STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF.

Honestly, the video is full of things I would normally bitch about, like fake "gangsta" street set, random sexist english lyrics, matching outfits (circa 90s), the whole black and white thing (what), but I really don't care here, it's Taeyang! Anything he does is like, watching a steak fly i.e. awesome.

Love Taeyang. And you should too but you won't cos he's mine, ha!

Alright I have no life.

More Glee-ful Goodness


Sweet Caroline by 'Puck' in Glee

Holy shit. I have never been this gooey from having melted from AWESOME-NESS, that's what. Puck the 'Bad Boy' becomes insanely sweet when he does this song in Episode 8 of Glee. And sexy too, hee.

Gosh, if a guy like Puck ever sang this song for me like this (Which I know is highly unlikely, shut up.), I would just DIE. From HAPPINESS. No wait, we would have a long, sweet romance first. Then I'd DIE. From HAPPINESS.

Belinda: Aiyah, shoot for the stars - aim for an A! Anyway just passing is fine too actually, won't have to take darn Chinese anymore in JC. :D

mysteriousguest: Haha Mysterious Guest! ;D Singing's awesome fun :)


Update: That reminds me, amazing Michael Jackson medley Minlin and I found while in the Com Lab below. The guy who did this (it's the same guy, mostly) is kinda gay, but still, super goose-bumpy. A must-watch.

Argh another exam

You know it's hard to go back to studying when you start blowing bubbles with your new ice-cream cone bubble-blower from Daiso every fifteen minutes for fifteen minutes while reading your notes (-ish). Forgot how hard studying was. Plus I get so carried away blowing bubbles. I got bubble soap in my eye, and that stuff stings.

Anyway, Higher Chinese Os are coming = need to study = should stop blogging = will still end up blogging a little anyway.

我拼了!

See what I did there? Chinese.

Why Today Was Pretty Weird

1. Was the second day of Inv!gorate (the annual IP games), did absolutely nothing (except giving my utmost moral support) but got a tan and am exhausted. What nonsense.

2. Main highlight: I GOT AN A1 FOR CHINESE. IS IT NOT TOTALLY DISGUSTING?! Me. A1. Chinese. It's a freaking exam-time miracle - so much air was inhaled when I kept gasping in disbelief at the grade on my paper. My name was even amongst the Higher Beings of Chinese on the Powerpoint slide displaying the names for people who got an A [tears of joy]! How the hell did this happen?! And more importantly, how can I make this happen again for the Os?!?

3. Went to Ice Cream Chef for ice-cream and Yitong's place for Guitar Hero after school. In the former I got a strange green tea + brownie mix-ins (I know, I am like just so crazy and experimental canz) which I really liked (saw your picture there, Min Lin!), and in the latter I perspired the most playing Guitar Hero than I did in the entire day (games day, mind you).

4. Came back to see my rough-housing, tomboy of a sister with an ELECTRIC-BLUE PEDICURE.


Weird.
