halloween today, this motley crew comprising of a witch, a prince charming and the grim reaper just came by trick or treating. and my maid proceeded to give the kiddos sotong. like fried cuttlefish? what a scream. haha bet it was a hit with them.

one year my mum tried to give sour plums. i mean like it's all in the good spirit of all hallow's eve, you'd think she'd give something more substantial like normal candy and chocolates but no she has to give residue cny stuf haha

a little boy, having missed his bus because of tangled shoe strings, looked at the nearby man with tear-filled eyes and asked, "do you untie knots?"

"yes", said the man.

Jesus says the same.


life gets tangled. people mess up. we never outgrow the urge to look up and say "help?" no matter how little or big the knot, Jesus is always saying "yes" to our request. And He is able to do more than we can imagine when we leave the knots in His hands.

got my lobang of the day: 16, count them, blank cds from my dear miss ong lh herself. hahah and you thought i couldn't stoop any lower...fleecing off my ct, and ms ong no less. then she was like yeah you can have them provided you burn a music cd for me. and flashback to the time not so long ago when ange van and i wanted to burn a compilation for her for teacher's day with songs like who let the dogs out and i'm a hazard to myself, you get the idea. so our little venture might actually materialise haha! best thing is the cd is free with compliments from ong. anyway my guess is we won't have time to burn the cd so i'll just make do with a dedication to her here haha! so ms ong this is for yooooou....thanks for all the bio remedials

8 o'clock, Monday night and I'm waitin'
To finally talk to a girl a little cooler than me.
Her name is Nona, she's a rocker with a nose ring,
She wears a two way, but I'm not quite sure what that means.

And when she walks,
All the wind blows and the angels sing.
She doesn't notice me!

Cause she is watchin' wrestling
Creamin' over tough guys
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in her eyes

It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.
She's the girl all the bad guys want!

She likes the godsmack and I like agent orange
Her cd changer's full of singers that are mad at their dad
She says she'd like to score some reefer and a forty
She'll never know that I'm the best that she'll never have

And when she walks,
All the wind blows and the angels sing.
She'll never notice me!

Cause she is watchin' wrestling
Creamin' over tough guys
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in her eyes

She likes 'em with a mustache
Racetrack season pass
Drivin' in a Trans-Am
Does a mullet make a man?

It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!

There she goes again
With fishnets on, and dreadlocks in her hair
She broke my heart, I wanna be sedated
All I wanted was to see her naked!

Now I am watchin' wrestling
Tryin' to be a tough guy
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in my eyes
I can't grow a mustache
And I ain't got no season pass
All I got's a moped...moped....moped.....

It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.

She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
(There she goes again)
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
(There she goes again)
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!

just came back from church today, and i don't know but i feel very edified, and inexplicably much much happier than i've been for the past wk. hmm. haha anyway yeps disclaimer: i don't hate anybody! yeah i really don't...and i'm really really very thankful that i'm a christian at this point of my life. i've realised how much easier it is to forgive, to bless and not curse, when i've got God in my life. cuz in Him i'm assured of His promises for me, and even amidst all the transience of life i know that i'm clinging on to someone eternal and steadfast, and that indeed He has far greater things in store for me. so whatever assholic monkey crap life throws at me, i know that if God is for me, who can be against me! yayyay :) yknow it really just helps sooooo much to think that everything happens in His time, and that He is good to all who love him haha and seriously i can be strong and i can be happy because it is Him from whom i derive all my strength and all my joy and really, nothing else matters when you commit it to God. i was worried a few days ago that my joy was like self-deluding but right now i'm just so convicted that my joy is genuine. and anyways who says i've lost anything? i think i've gained! owells to each his own heh. so thank You God i really really love You and i'm really not gona let go of You now cuz all along You've been holding on to me and not letting go so yep i'm gona repay the favour :) :) and i feel rather guilty now cuz i realised that i haven't been giving cell top priority of late..and it's worse when all your cell members are just such wunnerfool and sweet darlings and here i am not replying smses, coming up with lame excuses for skipping meetings, etc etc you name it i've done it. sometimes i wish i could be as sweet as jo, as patient and as unassuming as mabel, but it's honestly so hard larh. nvm i'm gona try haha and i'm gona love everybody from now on so yeeeeap. gona sleep well tonight. peace out :)

this is for a, friend.
friendship in my context has always been based on trust and transparency. and i intend for it to stay that way. please don't leave clues strewn around for me to sniff and pick up like a dog. save yourself the trouble and save me the time. and i don't need people calling up to check on me. the last things i'd appreciate now are indirect apologies and cowardice. if you really want to know, i am fine and happy, because i believe no one, least of all you, has the right to make me feel bitter, angry and resentful. so it is in all sincerity that i wish you the best in your new relationship, and i'm sure that by this time, it has lasted for more than 4 days. i am only disappointed because obviously, our friendship meant much less to you than it did to me.
and please, please. don't bother construeing explanations. you've done all the explaining there is to do.

And when you wanted me
I came to you
And when you wanted someone else
I withdrew
And when you asked for light
I set myself on fire
And if I go far away I know
You'll find another slave

Cause now I'm free from what you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are

And when you wanted blood
I cut my veins
And when you wanted love
I bled myself again
Now that I've had my fill of you
I'll give you up forever
And here I go far away
I know you'll find another slave

Cause now I'm free from what you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are

Then a vision came to me
When you came along
I gave you everything
But then you wanted more

Cause now I'm free from what you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are

Now I'm free from what you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are

blueberry waffles drizzled with maple syrup rock :) ahah anyway yes i decided to post smth here so people won't think i've gone down the same path that many others have decided to take eg disabling my connection so i can focus on studying. i'm very behind. very very behind. aikes i need to regain momentum mans! haha but how to regain when i never actually had it. -wry laughter- shucks if yall read this please please! remind me to study thanks..
today school was all about madcap photo taking frenzies, my class is soo extremely lagging! zi was like...why are yall taking now? my class took photos 1 mth ago. haha and we were prob the only people going trigger happy larh, and i mean trigger happy. and the day passed by with SHH aka ange's clone sailing into view like 3/4s of the time, with his come-hither glances whilst looking so pensive, but aRGH we couldn't get a single good shot!!!! i'm serious the guy was playing so hard to get!!! each time was so close yet so far, haha but i managed 2 rather commendable pix of the amicizia candidates. and of GBG. my hand was shaking rather violently tho, i can't take these sorta photos calmly i really can't. oh and managed to take 1 of my idol in the ava room hahaha if my idol is reading this the rfc wants to take a picture with you!! would you pretty please so very kindly oblige? haha yux. i'm sleeepyy...

you are the burning
the flame that is turning
my smouldering ash into a bird
so stay close my brother
i couldn't stand the loss
you are the bridge of action
i need you to help me cross
i need you to help me

so when you break,
my arms i'll take hold of you
i know your heart is a hand that takes hold of me

my hand that is breaking
is the hand that is making
all the dead things in me grow
a gift of a holy loss
this burning at the dross

why do you set out to break the one thing
the one thing i have to give
its hard to believe that i could
that i should begin again
but i know your heart is a hand

so when i break
your arms you'll take hold of me
you know my heart is a hand that takes hold of you
so when you break
my arms i'll take hold of you
i know your heart is a hand that takes hold of me
so when you break
my arms i'll take hold of you
i know your heart is a hand that takes hold of me.

why do i always do things like that to myself..

anyway i'm amazed at the number of people i've met today who don't know what's a blow job. all along i've assumed it was common knowledge since sec 2 or smth but yuying hsien and jess didn't know what it is. haha. but i think yuying was faking ignorance. anyway it was so damn bloody embarassing when jess shouted out what's a blow job in front of this j1 softballer, great so now he prob thinks we're a bunch of weirdo j2s who don't know what blow jobs are. if jess had shouted that out 10 seconds earlier 2 other j1s from waterpolo would have heard it. wooot. hsien if you're reading this i'm serious just ask mingm** or sand** or maybe even rob*n, i'm sure they'll appreciate you asking, maybe they'll help you more than we did today hahaha. and like jayne said it could be bad it could be good it's just all relative.

back from goodwood park, was the grand ol matriach's birthday bash. and as usual conversation revolved around studies studies and studies. sigh how stressful. anyway i swam a cool 20 laps today! that's 1 entire kilometre for yer :) haha pathetic, tis wk swam like 30 laps since my virgin swimming experience in the chinese high pool on thurs, beats me why i like doing things i hardly ever do normally when i'm supposed to be studying, like swimming, playing the piano, anything to stall the studying huh.
and i've sworn allegiance to sixpence none the richer. wonder what took me so long to get their album. matt slocum writes the most beautiful lyrics and leigh nash has such an ethereal voice full of delicate nuance.

i scoured thru chinatown for a prom dress today. *hushhush* my dirty little secret, hahaha yeah part of mum's plan to comb through all the obscure bridal studios so i'll emerge with a one-of-a-kind dress, something no one else would have, so i wouldn't have to wear smth mainstream from daniel yam or arthur yen. yeah it's so elusive i couldn't even find it in chinatown. next stop little india. anyway i didn't know "obscure" would take me to chinatown larh really...chinatown!! ick haha anyway to all those wondering, no, chinatown does not have anything remotely wearable for prom, unless you wanna look like choo mimi in br4thers when she sang my bonnie lies over the ocean. my mum's eyes were aglow with excitement as she led me to the bridal studio in people's park complex where she rented her pink wedding dinner gown, only to find that in its place was some foot reflexology shop. needless to say she was crestfallen.
