I can't believe this, but
yes I'm being such a compliant psssssssstt and uploading pictures early.
Okay I know this picture is almost ancient, I just found it in my camera from the holiday day at island cremery, I'm sorry, so shoot me.
Artistry! My camera can turn melting slob-coated mush into actual edible ice cream.
the concert night
I'm swearing off flash from now on.
Heritage tour
Thanks to frigging flash my face has grown a ghastly lightbulb. But I just learnt something- my shoes have glow-in-the-dark stripes! Childish, I know, but will come in handy if you're trapped in a cave. Or a creepy museum.
Heritage tour was, unexpectedly, fun with our little earmuffs and 'companions' and pressing the GO button in sync, bobbing our heads around a circle surrounding alien crop circle-like numbers like a little medieval cult. I'm amused.
Didn't learn much though (I spent more time laughing at the weird hokkien/fake english accent bits) except in the past Singapore had showgirls and bubbly retro music.
Anyway, meet my new boyfriend.
He's reliable and a great conversation-starter. Just my type.
Toodles!

spell HOLIDAY.
I came back home so bored, I watched a whole bollywood movie on tv. It's much better than I thought (apparently the whole booty-shaking, tree-dancing, song-singing etc. doesn't last throughout the movie). And the jokes (ok, judging from the subtitles) are really funny. I swear, I might even convert to vasathasam (sp?) channel permanently. Ch 8 shows are getting either too whiny, too doctor-based, too fantastical, or keep on starring joanne peh.
And I read miss tan's blog about korean dramas, and I was reminded about something I wanted to say-
ALL KOREAN DRAMAS ARE THE SAME. period.
At first there was the weepy korean dramas- girl has long hair with curls, is always wearing pink/ flowers, has bambi eyes, likes to act shy, cries practically 3/4 of the time, speaks in a wispy voice. Then there's the brooding male who is always either:
1. rich
2. is some bigshot president of a multimillion dollar company and rich, or
3. works in some dreamy artistic profession (photographer is always the best choice) and can afford it cause he's just discovered he has a long-lost billionaire granddad.
So girl meets guy just as guy's ex-gf has left/died, long tormentful relationship, cry cry cry, girl gets accepted by guy's family but suddenly discovers she has cancer of some sort, cry cry cry, girl lives or dies (depends on how many people are actually still watching the show in the end).
AND IT'S ALWAYS CANCER. In autumn in my heart they did lukiemia (which is cancer cause it's bone marrow cancer), in winter sonata they did brain cancer, in stairway to heaven they did eye cancer. Practically every cancer is being taken up, sooner or later directors will have to use toenail cancer or armpit cancer or something.
And then koreans discovered plastic surgery, and more and more koreans just became prettier and prettier it wasn't enough just to be pretty at all! No! You must be pretty and funny at the same time! Enter new wave korean dramas like my girl or my lovely samsoon, where
Girl is born poor, wants to get rich, has some weird quirks, meets super-rich, young, hot billionaire who likes her character, has some major goof-ups and some tussle with an extremely pretty rich girl who wants the billionaire too, wins in the end cause she's got character, both live happily ever after.
ALL KOREAN DRAMAS ARE PREDICTABLE.
Normally I would just forget about it, but I'm so pissed because my daddy fell for the korean drama ploy and bought this:
Just looking at it gives you diabetes. And you know something's fishy when the guy wears a pink shirt.
p.s. I think I've blogged about korean dramas briefly before, but arrrrrgh I can't help it lah. Something must be done before our society turns into mushy goo.

I bet you don't know I have a secret addiction to pork floss.
Today is officially the first day I don't have any homework, and turns out, boredom is something I could live with the rest of my life.
daRkeNiNg dAwN :: screw alphabeta. says:
ahh i think i'll sleep early tonight. (: what say you?
daRkeNiNg dAwN :: screw alphabeta. says:
you'll do that too.
nat wong. says:
yes I think
I think Jaime shares the same sentiments.

PICTURES-for sarah, who owes me ice cream.
And one picture from eons ago.
And today Sandra was singing her yi qian nian yi hou (one thousand years later) jj lin song with gross english translations!
A thousand years later
My heart beats out of rhythm
My dreams are also bounded
When loving the promises are definite
Sinked until one thousand years later
Putting down the responsibilities helplessly
Submerging into dust
When I was messed up, I saw you coming over
My light
Can't endure it any more
All the love that you need
Because after a thousand years later
I'm no longer in this world
etc.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Chinese songs (aside from the fact that I barely passed Chinese this term) but these translations made me want to cry. In a really bad way.
