Once upon a time. Things change.
Today's Colosseum = Waste of my time
Moving on, I shall talk about birthdays. I love birthdays, and I love giving gifts and surprises. And I love baking! Mine's in one month plus, and there will be a few others in between that time and now. And there're also some other gift-giving occasions coming very soon. You know, Mother's Day, anniversary... yeah... And I'm psyched. Problem is, I'm so out of ideas already.Especially presents for guys. What the hell can you buy for them?
If I don't get inspired soon enough, I'll buy a pair of socks for everyone's birthday.

I'll start off with this question I came across in a quiz.
You would rather be single than be with someone who lacks:
(a) passion
(b) security
(c) charm
(d) adventure
(e) individuality
Damn it, I'm stuck.
Haha.
So anyway, let's see what happened in between the last entry and now... JJ's Party on Sunday. I'm not his biggest fan, but I like his music, so I enjoyed myself. Maybe it was also because of the company... Haha. =p
Hmm... Went to another costume shop today. Best of the lot. It's the cleanest, has the biggest variety, offers the best service and has the best prices. We found almost everything that we need. I had so much fun. Their dresses are so nice! The quality of the clothes is so so so much better than the so-called No.1 shop we went to on Friday. Seriously.
For fun and out of vanity, I tried on this dress. It may be Betty's party dress. One of the fancier 1950's dresses. Justin Tit wanted it in turquoise, because the character of Betty is supposed to be straight-laced and no-nonsense, and blue would bring that out. But but but... lavender is such a sweet colour. Haha... Guess I have a thing for lavender.
"Lost" is going to show soon! Okay, I'm going now. Au revoir!
Oh, and Colosseum tomorrow. Urgh.

I just finished watching one of my favourite movies, "The Stepford Wives". Brilliant movie, and frankly, the whole idea behind it is quite disturbing.
Do all men really want beautiful, sexy, submissive and so-called perfect housewives?

The day really began after school ended. Met up with the soloists and the two Justins, and then went to rehearse. I have to say that the acting really improved. Yep, I'm impressed. Now the only stuff that stands in the way is Rachel's giggling and Ying Chuan's stoned expression. Which I am sure will be overcome in due time. And we'll all deliver an excellent performance. So please come and watch the choir concert. 10th May 7:30PM at Victoria Concert Hall $12.
Justin Hui, for kicks, decided to "puke blood". Damn funny. He used some coloured powder, and then mixed with saliva, it formed this gooey thing. (At least it looked gooey to me. You think I'd touch it?) If the mixture didn't end up so pink, it would be quite convincing. But when he first "puked", there was this red puddle on the floor and it was pretty gross.
Gross, and cool.
After rehearsal, Gracelyn joined the group and we (except Justin Hui) all trooped off to the costume shop, that's somewhere near Bugis. Quite an adventure. There were a lot of costumes. But all the common ones, really. Things like Egyptian outfits, superhero stuff, Victorian garb... Couldn't find old Hollywood glamour, not even from the evening gown section. I got particularly interested in the wedding gown section, but their designs were so old-fashioned. Played around with some of the accessories, like bunny ears (couldn't resist), hat with veil, devil's pitchfork (for holding, not wearing)...
Anyway, we found nothing suitable, so we moved on to the next shop. Smaller shop, but we seemed to find more. Walked to and fro picking out dresses, but the place was so dusty, I had to go out for fresh air. In the end we found some nice dresses, but I thought the era was quite off. Nevertheless, the glamour was there. Well, I played around with more accessories. Cat-eye glasses, angel's halo, police cap, swords, rifle, grim reaper's sickle (that's what it's called right?)...
Went to buy cloth, on the way we saw some foreign creatures of the night. Also noted that the place was full of '7-Eleven's. Well, guess the place has a bustling, erm, night life, and Justin Tit said that "they may need rubber anytime". Haha.
Then Justin Tit went home, and we had dinner at Bugis. Bernice joined us. KFC's chicken shrunk. I have never encountered such a tiny drumstick in my life. (So I'm really hungry now, and I'm eating Koko Krunch as though the world is ending.) After dinner we just sat around and talked and talked and laughed and talked some more, until it was eight-something, and then we all took the train.
Of course the conversation went on and on in the train, and if we bugged the hell out of the other passengers I'm not surprised.
But it's fun. And life is short. If I let the little things (and the little people) in life bother me then there's not much meaning to it.
I love the choir. I'm probably boring you, dear reader, to death by saying this over and over again. But I really do, and I'm looking forward to practice tomorrow. If only it weren't so early in the morning.
Ha. Well, it being so early and all, I think I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight.

Technology is scary.
I uploaded a video on youtube.com, and it has since received about 30 views, and got a fan. (Thanks, nice to see my stuff appreciated.)
And I uploaded it only yesterday.
Like I said, s c a r y...
Anyway, the video documented a funny/lame/crazy event at choir practice. I may upload it onto this blog, in the meantime, people who know me can approach me online, and I'll send you the link.
Yay, tomorrow there may be taupok. I'll bring my camera! (I think taupok is one of the funnest things ever. Haha.)
Oh, and Henry proposed to Paige ("Charmed"), and it was one of the sweetest things ever. Which reminds me that someone else I know proposed to his special one recently. Really sweet.
Ah, weddings and marriage. Never fails to get me melting. I think that a lot of girls (and guys) are like that too. Like today I brought last year's issue of "Style Weddings" to choir practice today, and the girls and I were drooling (metaphorically) over the gowns, the bouquets and the wedding settings. And they said that I'd be the first among them to get married.
Whaat. Does that mean I don't get to be a bridesmaid?
Nah, let's let the matter rest for now. It's too early to say who's getting married first anyway. But of course I'm quite flattered that they said that. I'm definitely inviting them, i.e. Jo, Holly and company to my wedding. I love you guys (girls, actually) so much!

Read my previous entry before you read this:
I finally remembered that I have a yearbook, and so I went to check who's who.
Ohhhhhhhhh.
Now I know.
Oh my gosh.
I've actually noticed him a long time ago, and thought he was good-looking. (And that's a perfectly innocent comment.)
So that's him. Yeah, you can enlist me in the fan club. Wahaha.
Nah, just kidding. I'm already in another fan club, of which I am the founder and the president and the sole and permanent member, which it takes up too much of my time. And that's the CK fan club. =p
It's past midnight, I've had a bit too much coffee, and I tend to go crazy.

Jo's Birthday!
Jo and I went to Takashimaya's Pepper Lunch for dinner, and we both ordered the salmon pepper rice, which tasted great. Three-quarters through dinner, I went off and bought Jo a slice of mango cake. When I came back, she saw the cake and her jaw dropped. Yay! I had successfully planned a surprise!
(In case you're completely clueless, Jo's in pale blue and I'm in yellow.)
It was quite fun, though we didn't get to shop much. We looked at shoes, prom-style dresses, Nike apparel, more shoes, and the different types of alcohol available at Cold Storage. Didn't buy any though. (But I tried on lots of shoes. Really fun.) We bought some sweets and doughnuts.
Jo said that she felt old at 18. Aiyah, 18 is not old. Besides, think of all the new things you can do. Watch M18 movies, drink alcohol, go clubbing, get married... (I'm not too sure about the last one.)
Anyway, we gossiped and we talked and we discussed. The usual girl topics I guess. Boys, girls, BGRs, clothes, shoes, marriage, kids... Yep, a lot of things. Talked about who's together, who's no longer together, and who might be together. Talked about who's cute/handsome/pretty in MJ. Apparently we have similar taste. Haha. Or maybe it's just that those people really look good, and there's no argument.
Jo mentioned Dharma (is that the right spelling??) being really popular with girls because of his muscles and everything. Here's one thing: I have no idea who he is. Yeah, I heard a lot about him, and I may have seen him in school, but I wouldn't know that it's him. Gosh, someone point him out to me lah.
Erm... Yeah, that's about it. Happy birthday Jo!

Happy Good Friday.
Seems not too long ago when I was watching the Easter performance at City Harvest. Looking back, that time is now so surreal to me.
Faith, has always been something so far away from me. But I do hope that it'll get nearer in the time to come.
Moving on, there's something that I've always known but never really thought about, until now: Blogging is phenomenal. But the real issue is: why?
I can't give an answer, because I'm still thinking.
In the meantime, I think I'll blog about last night's Mardi Gras at TJ. Reallly, really hot. Before this, I didn't know that such events ever happen at Singapore schools.
Seriously, the Mardi Gras would put MJ's "Be Yourself Day" to shame. Deep shame. From what I saw last night, there didn't seem to be any strict dress code. People came in just about anything. The more common ones are Greek, goth, retro, cowboy, hip-hop, and they were all cool. There was a Roman soldier (or least that's what he looked like to me), a witch, a princess, a 'dead' girl holding a teddy bear, and a really cool doll wearing a red dress trimmed with lace, white platform boots and holding a white lace umbrella. (And that doll won the fashion prize).
What bowled me over, as the modern dance performance. Such a turn-on. (I can't believe I just said that.) Some of the dancers are so hot, especially the salsa dancers. I love salsa. I think it's so hot and so cool and basically wow. I want to learn how to dance like that.
Hmm... I could save up for salsa classes. Yay, now I have something to look forward to.

Picture this: You are in charge of something important. You want to make an announcement to a group of people who appear as though (because I can't really be sure) they do not give a damn about that something important. You try and you try and you try to get their attention. Tough luck. You try and you try and you try again. And then, thwack, your patience hits its end. You snap at the people, and lecture (the closest word I can think of right now) them about the issue at hand, i.e. that they should care and why. You got their attention. And there, you got the message across, which is the most important thing, really.
I am not perfect. If I were, I would have thought of a perfect way to get your attention without resorting to snapping or shouting or anything that would burst my perfect veins. BUT I AM NOT PERFECT. So, please forgive a flawed individual for her flaws, and not condemn her for something that you're equally likely to do.
You want me to be like the rest of them? Just for the sake of "fitting in"? So that I can have "team spirit" and be part of a group?
Well, this wouldn't be the first time when I have nothing more to say.

In life, there's bound to be one of those times, when you wipe away your tears, and you say to yourself, "Look on the bright side, it can't get any worse than this," and you feel so much better, because that thought is your only hope for the next many days to come.
Only in those many days, you're proven wrong. It can get much, much worse.
And it's one of those moments for me, right now.

I want to say a BIG thank you to Melissa and Sonja, for helping us with the choir choreography. You guys are really really great. Thank you!
Yep, that's pretty much it for today. I'm so tired for the whole of today I even fell asleep during my econs test.
PE today was fun in itself. There were other factors that made it painful. Rawr.
And I caught a cold. Ah-choo.
Have I ever mentioned that I dread Mondays? It's such a long day at school.

I would like to say that I started this blog with an open and empty mind, tabula rasa, for a refreshing change. But as usual, my mind is clouded with thought.
Of course some things have changed this week. My mind has been so stretched and so worn out. I'm falling alseep in lectures and tutorials again. I'm living on a diet of sugar. I'm spending as though there's no tomorrow. I learnt a few things.
You can't squeeze orange juice out of an apple.
The moment you think that Girl World is all about shoes and make-up, you're proven wrong. It's bloody complicated.
Speaking of blood, I still cannot donate blood because I am under eighteen and my mum won't let me donate blood. Anyway, I learnt from my friends that it's possible to be rejected because of the veins being too small. I think I could be rejected in any case. Oh well, next year.
It's not easy to attempt to be a domestic goddess. I'm courting death, stretching myself beyond what I am willing and able to take (somehow it sounds contradictory). And I'm not even halfway there.
Despite the approaching embrace of liberation, there are still a million and two things that society deems proper or improper.
And what if tomorrow doesn't come?

Yesterday, coming home from choir practice, it was raining heavily. Hence there was a bunch of random MJ students clustering around the gate, looking at the sky and praying that the rain would end soon as they did not have unbrellas.
Wahaha. And people laugh at me, calling me auntie because I carry an umbrella in my bag wherever I go.
Look at you sad bunch now. Losers.
Hahaha...
Haha...
Ha...
Wah.
I laughed too soon. Stupid heavy rain. Even with a well-sized umbrella, I was soaked all over. When I went home and opened my bag, everything except the contents of my file was soaked as well.
My Powerpuff Girls notepad. (It was a gift okay.)
My everything case. (I call it my everything case because it carries just about everything from my cosmetics to my eyedrops to my mini first-aid kit.)
My entire booklet of concert tickets! What the hell?! Noooooooooooo...
Oh well, and today was extra hot. Like, sweltering. Scorching. You get the idea.
Evening approaches, and now I'm going out shopping. I'll probably look at earrings and shoes, maybe bags. Never mind that it's a thursday. I'm really bummed out by things at school, so I'm giving myself a treat.

A school is an educational institution, as far as I am concerned.
Ann Koh/Mrs Wong is lecturing again. Oh joy. I'm not being sarcastic. She's one of the more intersting lecturers. Maths isn't so bad actually, at least for statistics. It may not be interesting, but at least I understand what the hell I'm doing.
I dread Mondays. It's my longest day in school.
It rained today, and my shoes are soaked through.
On the bus home from Pasir Ris Interchange, some working woman had the stupid cockroach song as her ringtone, and her phone kept ringing. It was teetering on the edge of becoming a public nuisance.
The fragrance of morning milo.
Jumping into puddles.
Dancing alone.
When you're down, it's time to look at the simple little joys in life.

It was a so-so day until now, and things have taken a downturn.
Bloody hell.
At least I'm being open and upfront about it.
I suppose if I weren't so angry about things, one important thing would be on the top of my mind instead of the back of it.
I miss our friendship.
