You know what?
Lately I have nothing to blog about.
In fact, for a very long time already I had nothing to blog about, but was just disguising it with random facts like "I HAVE MID-DIGITAL HAIR!' and see you roll your eyes and go "nat, like we are actually interested in how many strands of mid-digital hair you have and how you pluck it off with a nail-clipper! Wow, the fantastic new discovery, like, amazes me with awe and camaderie!"
So because it's a Friday night, and Friday nights are when everybody's most internet-active, I shall blog nevertheless.
yu li says:
haha
yu li says:
or
yu li says:
you can talk about how
yu li says:
i inspire you
yu li says:
or
yu li says:
you inspire me
yu li says:
or
yu li says:
how i make you lose your inspiration
yu li says:
or
yu li says:
how you make me lose my inspiration
yu li says:
how firefox is faster than ie
yu li says:
how all skins never work in forefox
yu li says:
or how itunes is actually better than wmp
OK fine, so I shall blog about all that.
1. How yu li inspires me.
Actually no, she doesn't.
2. How I inspire yu li.
Actually no I don't. But maybe just a glimpse of me is already enough to inspire!
3. How yu li makes me lose my inspiration.
Yes, when she runs around and wails with her high-pitched whiny voice and tries to stab my eye out with her violin bow.
4. How I make yu li lose her inspiration.
Ever heard the phrase "presumed innocent unless otherwise proven?"
5. How firefox is faster than ie.
Personally I have no experience using firefox, but I suppose a fox on fire could yelp and leap like a, well, mad fox faster than an internet explorer.
6. How all skins never work in firefox.
Hey, my skin does! It's nice and tan and matches anything!
7. How itunes is better than wmp.
What is wmp? Women's Mobile Patrol? World Music Press? Would Mummy Pay? Winter Mountain Peak?
there. done.
oh and by the way jaime can I send it to you by email? Cos I'm kinda lost in my own archives also. :)

Today in Life Science I have made a not-so-fantastic new discovery.
I have mid-digital hair.
On my finger. I am a freaking freak of nature, and I am so freaked out with myself I shall use my nail clippers and pull out that strand hair now.
But whatever, *flicks hair and gives the can't be bothered look*, I'm just going to go on pretending to be more interested the agar and how, wow, you can actually see bands on it that look exactly like, gasp, smudges that you make when you write with a leaky pen!
And I have no hitchhiker's thumb, which means I shall probably never be able to hitchhike ever.
And I have attached earlobes. That probably means piercing my ears would be extra extra painful, because since the earlobes are attached to the ear the whole ear will feel the pain.
And I also can roll my tongue. Which means I could possibly choke myself to death rolling my own tongue.
And no, I'm not feeling very optimistic now.

Today we had hip hop/hip-hop/hiphop for dance. The teacher person was really good, and the rest of us were just trawling behind her like a bunch of motion-defective robots.
I hate dancing. It's the moment I look my clumsiest, ugliest, most un-coordinated. And in dancing there's always two different categories, either you look really good dancing, or you look like you just fell into pig sty, and no in-between. So I'm at that pig sty level.
Actually the dancing is not too bad when you do the moves at really slow, taiji-like speed, but the problem is she starts playing MUSIC MAKES YOU LOSE CONTROL. And then all hell runs loose, and you pray that Miss Tsien isn't secretly filming the class on CCTV and putting it on youtube, snickering away or whatever.
But whatever. I'll do anything for free air-con, and time off classes.
OMG!!!! The Singapore version of cao ji bian bian bian is on! MUST GO WATCH AND DIE LAUGHING OR DON'T WATCH AND DIE OF CURIOSITY OVER WHY EVERYONE AROUND YOU IS DROPPING DEAD.
By the way, if you don't know what cao ji bian bian bian is, it is the Japanese show where people make a fool out of themselves, dressing up as tomatos, volcanos, robots, making some silly skit, all in the name of creativity. And then they get ushered in and out by model-lookalikes wearing bunny ears, which is probably why they signed up in the first place. And then in the end, the most creative, (or the funniest) wins a PRIZE!
I tell you, the Japanese think of the funniest things.

Hello!
Sorry for the don't-know-how-many-day hiatus, no, I have not gone on a sudden unexpected holiday to Timbuctoo, nor have I been fatally injured in a car crash or whatever, and no, my computer has not broken down again.
This time, it's even worse.
My daddy has installed a password on the computer.
And to add to my current downward emotional status, my mother has thrown away all my ReNu bottles. I don't know why but I feel like crying all the same. What a horrible waste.
But lucky for me, some show with Edison Chen is on tonight! Now! This very moment!
NOW, NOW, NOW!
And because he is so drool-worthy, I just have to go watch! And you too! Even though you are a guy! Amelia says Edison Chen dies in the show, what a sad, sad thing. But whatever, I suppose he dies in the most heroic way possible.
YEAH, SCHOOL TOMORROW!
AND MEP!
FLEE FOR YOUR FREAKING LIFE!

I WANT!
I don't care if you think Sims is boring, meticulous, or whatever, because it's a really really really great game for control freaks. And the people there always look oh-so-gorgeous.

I WANT!
I don't care if you think Sims is boring, meticulous, or whatever, because it's a really really really great game for control freaks. And the people there always look oh-so-gorgeous.
OMG?
I was watching the Channel 8 C.I.D. show, where they try to copy some X-Files show starring Ivy Lee where there are many cases and every one takes up like 3-4 episodes.
Just that the Ivy Lee one was better, because there was a lot of weird supernatural girls-with-red-hair-due-to-pollution-from-a-chemical-plant stories, and we all remember Julian Hee trying to move chess pieces with his brain.
Anyway, I'm in the middle of the third one, and I know because I'm sort of cheating and reading the sypnosis of the whole show on mediacorpsingapore.com.
And its called.....
DID I TELL YOU I AM A WOMAN?
Hahahaha.
So, according to the website:
Oh darn, they have disabled the right click so I can't cut-and-paste the summary. I'm helping to advertise for your show lah, mediacorp! Any publicity (good, bad, big, small, minute, microscopic, obselete, extinct) is good publicity!
Ok so anyway some man called Dawn went for a gender change, became a woman called Tata (sounds familiar?) and killed a coupla people (ok, she only killed her ex-boyfriend, but the more, the merrier.) And then she tries to kill some more people, including a police inspector, but gets stopped just in time (told you you can't get away from killing a police inspector!).
Sounds like crap? That's cause I'm writing it, and basically paraphrasing. Go to the website to find out, for basically the chimmified and professionally english-done-up version.
And the reason I am freaking out is:
1. The music is so damn creepy. Especially when you find out some beautiful, mysterious girl is actually a... guy? There's some Psycho-esque bathroom chiller song playing all the time. And its freaky especially when you are home alone. Yes, call me a scaredy cat or whatever, I muted the whole freaking tv.
2. EVERYBODY DIES. The Tata person dies (I think), Jeanette Aw gets shot (OH NO! A deviation from the usual ooh-I'm-a-ballet-princess-in-pink-with-electricuted-hair roles), Tay Ping Hui almost gets shot, and that Belinda person (I think that's the actress's name, or maybe its my stereotype that all pregnant depressed people are called Belinda, no offence), commits suicide in hospital clothes (which is so cliche already, jumping off a hospital roof).
3. I think I may have short term memory loss, cos I just forgot what the third one was.
click to see that almost-suicidal person in a state of depression and other whatnot.
OH YEAH I REMEMBER NUMBER 3 NOW!
Ivy Lee gets a bit part in the show, just that its called a cameo, classier. Apparently she sports this aunty curly hair look. She was so much better in the other X-Files or Y-Files or Z-Files or whatever it was called show. I think curly shoulder length hair is enough to give me the creeps.

Being the usual bored-to-death person I am, I have ventured beyond the logic of space and time into my brother's kiddyland of mofunzone.com games.
This game is cool. It's called Hungry Space 2, which makes you be irritating and inevitably question: "Why is it called Hungry Space when spaces are never hungry?" And I will, like a wise old man sitting on a rock, reply: "Because, my child, we have entered mofunzone.com, where the logic of space and time does not exist."
So anyway, this game is exactly the erhempirated clone of Hungry Fish (is that what it's called?) the game on computer and in old Motorola handphones, just that you have a load of fish swimming around IN SPACE (remember, logic is flawed in mofunzone) and you just have to eat the smaller ones up, and prevent being eaten by the bigger ones.
It's such a dog-eat-dog world.
And then there's this game called Damn Birds, which I think is a rather amusing title, and I wanted to play it but apparently because my computer does not have Macromedia Flash I can't. The display icon is that of a frowning white statue, so put the title and the picture together, you get a mental picture of bird shit on your park statues. Sounds fun right? TELL ME IF IT REALLY IS.
And there's another game called Pimp My Ride, which I can't play because of the same ol' technical problems. It sounds a lot like, no actually, sounds identical to that MTV show.
And lastly (I always save the best for the last) there's this very very very very very very cute game called Microlife with Maple Story-esque jelly-shaped characters, and you have to prevent them from eating themselves, defend them against catchers and all that crap. It's highly addictive, you can make a community with infants, adults, defenders and the elderly. I couldn't stop until Level 8 where cannibalism was getting too much.
And the best part about mofunzone games are that they are all demos, so that means they are super-ly easy to reach the last level, where all the advertising comes in and they ask you to go get the real game yourself.

HAH I TOLD YOU I CAN TAKE DECENT SHOTS.
BANG BANG.
I think I should post more sensible stuff, instead of doing dinky little quizzes all the time. So there, Lifestyle (the Sunday newspaper lah with the sophisticated title lah, not any classy mag like Tatler) says that people are choosing really weird places to do liposuction, like ankles or the back.
I don't see why people would inject themselves to pull out fats when they can just go on a slimming programme, or a diet. I can't imagine putting a mini-suction in and just watching all the fats ooze out.
Ok, maybe not really watching, cos you would probably be so heavily anaestasized that you would be snoring on the operating table anyway.
But really, it would be interesting to know- what colour are fats? I always imagined my body fats to be pale beige-y white in colour, similar to those jelly-like layers underneath chicken skin. Then, as I think about it, maybe fats don't look that appealing. They could be dung-brown in colour, in semi-hard lumps oozing around your bloodstream.
OR
MAYBE
FATS
COULD
BE
PURPLE!
Yeah I can imagine that, fats so pretty purple they look good enough to eat. And you could bottle the fats you get from liposuction and sell them off to young kids as those plastic body-parts-in-slime thingies.
Or maybe fats are pretty and pink with shiny stardust on them and silverish swirls, and they sparkle when you hold them up to the light.
Or maybe fats are just boring and transparent goo that you can play around with when the cosmetic surgeon's not looking.
Or maybe fats are just... fats.
I think I should go do a lipo just to find out.

3) How far would you go to get something you really want? 2.4 km.
4) What time is it right now? 9.34 PM, on the computer clock.
5) Do you go for personality or looks? I wish I were the not-so-shallow type that go for personality, but obviously I'm superficial enough to say looks are a PLUS.

12) What do you think the meaning of life is? GOD.
13) Fave color? Purple.
14) Which Instant Messaging programs do you use? Windows Messenger, and I DON'T LOOK DOWN ON WINDOWS COS ITS COOL. Just because you can't see display pics and all that wishy-washy personal message stuff doesn't mean it's any worse than msn messenger, cos windows messenger users are just too sophisticated for that stuff. Therefore, USE WINDOWS MESSENGER, CONVERT NOW.

Today I have learnt that:
1. Payar Lebar MRT is a long, long, long, looooonnnnnnggggg way from home.
2. You can never keep two ez link cards in your wallet at any one time.
3. They serve bleeding (I mean literally yes) liver in pork porridge.
4. Frogs legs taste like chicken, don't come joined together with the butt, don't come with the webby feet part and have a squididised texture.
5. People will actually pay you to pluck out a strand of their grey hair.
6. When desperate, people tend to search rubbish bins.
7. No one eats oranges at the beach any more.
8. Never reject someone who goes up to you and asks for a signature on their hand. You can always hope they 1.are in love with you/2.mistook you for someone famous/3. idolise you.
9. When you think that the bike you rented has a problem with the wheels, never, ever, ever ever ever ever cycle all the way to the kiosk to get it fixed/wheel the bike all the way back. Instead, you should twist the handle anti-clockwise for two rounds.
10. The sea water is lethal. You may not be that deep in the water but the waves always seem to come in at the wrong times.
See, if I can draw ten life lessons every day, no matter how stupid they may seem, I will be a wise old wo(man) who sits on a rock and dispenses nonsense in another seventy years time.

There's something wrong with my eyes, infection or whatnot, so everytime I yawn or start tearing up (crying, not the ripping up something kind), my eye smarts like crazy, like acid being sloshed on it. Yes it hurts, duh. So I am abstaining from all emotional activities i.e. watching korean dramas, listening to sad songs or feeling moody all the same.
And I can't yawn or cut onions. And don't give me work to do, or tell me to finish my homework, because I may not be able to handle the mental stress and cry all the same.
My left eye 12345678ing hurts. Darn.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRICIA AND SARAH!
So we went to escape to celebrate today, since Tricia's birthday is on the seventh and Sarah's on the ninth. And 8.6.06 is unfortunately sandwiched in between.
And it just had to rain today. But oh well, we did go for some of the rides.
Like the (what's it called again) motion-sickness-inducing-spinning-around-like-teacups-on-a-disco-floor ride.
Yes, that was taken half a minute before my nerves were frazzled out screaming and not being able to smile half a smile properly.
And yes, we sat this one. It's called the revolutioniser or rotation-something something, I can't remember all these chimmified make-believe-to-scare-you names. See I was scared crazy that I took so many pictures.
It's actually this disc which rotates at a diagonal height, with chairs attached such that they can swing around if gravity so forbids them, and sometimes do a complete 360-degree swing. I squeezed my eyes shut the whole time and screamed so I can't really remember what it felt like. Except that I felt myself turning and hanging in the air, and wondering why I was so stupid to be coaxed into riding it.
Oh, it's called the Revolution.
And we went for the Wild and Wet, or Wet and Wild, or whatever it's called- Asia's highest flume ride. True, on the second splash I felt we flew downwards for an uneasily long time as compared to the one in Genting Highlands.
And then it started to rain, so we couldn't complete the quest of riding all the thrill rides, they closed the Viking Ship and the Rainbow. The Rainbow was supposed to be our dry-off ride! But the Inverter was closed due to mantainance anyway, so next time. (:
So we went to the only attraction we could go to in the rain- the haunted house. It scared the mushrooms out of me. No kidding. I practically screamed, closed my eyes (surprising how this method works for any single scary thing) and ran like a rampaging blind bull out of every single room. And the embarassing thing was there were these two ten-year-old girls who went first and were practically dragging us through, saying 'not scary lah! faster!' I don't know where else to throw my face lah.
Cookie Monster! Look really close- he's wearing Liz's airport sunglasses.
I hope 9th October will be as fun as this. ((((:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRICIA AND SARAH!
So we went to escape to celebrate today, since Tricia's birthday is on the seventh and Sarah's on the ninth. And 8.6.06 is unfortunately sandwiched in between.
And it just had to rain today. But oh well, we did go for some of the rides.
Like the (what's it called again) motion-sickness-inducing-spinning-around-like-teacups-on-a-disco-floor ride.
Yes, that was taken half a minute before my nerves were frazzled out screaming and not being able to smile half a smile properly.

If you stay in a condo, you should have the same problem as me:
The dreaded intercom.
I never actually know what to say to the intercom when someone buzzes. If you say something too long, the person will already go pass the gate thing and not listen. If you say something too short, the person will not know you pressed the button and buzz again.
Throughout my life, I have tried the following lines:
1. "Come in!"
2. "Hello." -The problem with saying this is that it forces the other person to answer back.
3. "Open Sesame"
4. "What's the secret password?"
5. "Who are you?"
6. "May I take your order please?" -The common response for all such stupid questions is 'Huh?"
And some really creepy people, intercom first-timers, I suppose, stare right into the camera so when you pick up the receiver you get the shock of your life- this pimply, black and white ghost-like face staring right at you.
And my brother now answers the intercom with this mystically spooky voice: "enter" when once I was walking home from the bus stop at night, and then I really got freaked out because my condo is right next to Bukit Timah Hill and all the WW2 ghost stories etc. it scared the hell out of me.
And Andrea's condo is quite cool in the sense that once you pick up the receiver you can see from the camera whichever unlucky soul that happens to be standing near the gate. And you can say really creepy things through the receiver and the other person can hear it. Haha.

I've finally thought about something un-ho-hum to blog about, but I presume it will be a long and whiny entry which will have to wait until tomorrow.
And it is now 10:56 p.m. on the computer clock, my mother is watching the un-dubbed version of Da Chang Jin, which is very weird considering the fact she doesn't have that sort of linguistic capability.
Y-A-DOUBLE U-N.
Good night.

Cambodia Mission Trip 2006
I missed the killing field outing, and the whole first four days because the airline doesn't fly to Phnom Penh on weekends. But helping out in the makeshift clinic, no matter how tiring that was, was fun.
Jong's extended family.
Pigs, in the village we went to. Beatrice went crazy over them, screaming and scaring them all away, and then aggressively clicking the trigger of her Canon Powershot. The pink ones look like the scraggly version of Babe, don't you think? And they snort a lot too.
The guesthouse, I was standing too near to take a reasonably informative picture. The guesthouse was way way way above my expectations, they even had cable tv! And the food was really good, they had this KFC tastealike which was apparently the Cambodian specialty, and I was like 'huh I didn't know KFC came from Cambodia".
Russian market. It's under this tent-like cover and is so unbearably stuffy and hot. The things there are not quite cheap at all, unless you know how to bargain. And they call you 'sister'.
"Sister! I give you $3 can?"
"No! i want $2!"
And then my mom can go on and on and on like this, and then walk away in irritance.
On the boat, which I unceremoniously fell asleep on, I had to close my eyes because all that dust from the Cambodian winds just blow straight into them. And then the humming and rocking of the boat made me drowsy. And I realised that I could actually sleep sitting down with my head propped on my hand. That's one step away from sleeping standing up and leaning on something. Soon, I will be able to sleep almost anywhere.
Montage Photography Seminar 2006
We listened to three talks, rock photography, extreme photography and fashion photography. The rock photography pictures were tres brilliante (what crapshit I can't speak French), really really nice glossy black-and-whites that really are timeless classics. The fashion photography one was are-ee-tee-aye-are-dee-ee-dee funny, and the way how they mix like five totally normal pictures together on photoshop and get this stunning ad is amazing. And, as sze says, 'kinky!'
It was at the Suntec Convention Hall, and the emcee was this girl with a frigging irritating make-believe posh English accent. I mean, we are in Singapore lah, cut the act.
My notes! I am studious and hardworking, hah.
Outside Marche, near the water wheel thing. o_O
How true.
Me, Tricia, and one very irritated Marche cow.
I think I shall never eat Marche again for the rest of my life, I felt so sick after eating there. And after that we went to Topshop for a lookie, there was an intermission in the talk anyway.
Sze's 'appetizing' pictures of Carls Jr.'s beef fries.
Sze: I heard avocado tastes like butter.
Me: Uh huh
Sze: What does butter taste like, by the way?
You smile, I smile, we all smile.
After the talk I felt inspired to take a good good photo, and I was imagining myself as this professional freeLANCE photographer with a huge bulky camera strapped around my neck and a load of camera stuff on my shoulders. And then going around scenic areas and spending the rest of my life in solitude, only hearing the clicking sounds of the camera.
Well, I tried my best.
