Thanks to all the people who wished me. I'm sure I replied all. But if i didn't, here's my thanks. For all those that didn't wish, your just gonna be cursed. ヽ(｀０´）ノ I had a great CNY + Birthday Eve.
26th of Jan: Visitations as usual. I brought a book to read cause I can't clique with my chinese speaking relatives. Language barrier and I'm the youngest. =X
27th of Jan: Birthday eve! My sis planned a mini party for me. Alcohol appreciation for my birthday... Christ I swear I've put on 5kg. I kept eating the Cadbury chocolates cause it was damn nice. And all they served the whole day was deep fried food. >.<
We ate Yusheng thing. YOU CANNOT LAU YUSHENG WHEN YOUR CHINESE SUCKS. Like my sister's chinese sucks so she couldn't think of proper 4-word phrases to say when she lau yusheng. Hence, she came up with ALL/ANY of the 4-word phrases she can think of like "甜甜蜜蜜"(sweet love or something like that has to do with romance. Please help clarify)which has ZERO relation to chinese new year. We would have thrown in other 4 word phrase in this situation like “原来如此”(You say this when you suddenly realise the source of the problem) or “总而言之”(In conclusion)。 None of the words have anything to do with CNY. But if your chinese sucks, you don't really have much of a choice.
My sister's chinese seriously sucks. We drank Brown Brothers Wine at 12mn to commemorate my 18 years of life. Everyone was being lame as usual... Conversation: Jiayi: I like nuts of all kinds. I am what I eat Joy: 讲得好！讲得好！(Well said! Well said!) ~HA HA HA HA~ (your typical chinese laughter in ancient chinese dramas) Jiayi: -raises wine glass- 床前明月光！(This is from a famous old chinese poem) Joy: -stunned- ~HA HA HA~ Jiayi: You're suppose to reply! Joy: 讲得好！讲得好！-raises wine glass- Friend: I'll help her. 疑是地上霜! Joy: 讲得好！讲得好！[That's the only line she can say, apparently] -Sorry for the chinese. It's funnier if you understand chinese-
Thanks Diane for my birthday present!!! A piggybank in the shape of a schoolbag. My goal is that 28th Jan 2010, I'll have $50 worth of coins in there.
Extra: We played the Wii at my sister's house. Mario Party is extremely fun cause you get to see your friends doing retarded stuff. Video: This is when you will paste a big L on your friend's forhead. Note the first few seconds when Joyce seemed uncertain whether to row forward or backward. HAHAHAH. The "ohhh" at the end is because one side was rowing too fast that the boat U-turned. -sorry for bad quality. Apparently from phone to comp destroys the quality. Sigh-
I Love Reunion Dinners. Steamboats are a godsend. Mine had the frying pit around the soup cooker. Aaaahhh... I feel like a walking Tangyuan. -hiccup- My mission was to fry every dish. But err... quail eggs was just a tad too strange to be fried.
I helped prepare for dinner okay? Evidence:
Patches and Sport gearing up for the Reunion Dinner.
And I just noticed. My granny's slippers are super pirated. -cough-
I got a new bedsheet! It's all pink with hearts all over. A great way to start off my Chinese New Year. WHOOPEE!!!
23rd Jan: My pre-birthday celebration with Ein, Joyce, Shar, Sheev and Jasmine was the 6 of us going to catch Red Cliff 2. Whoa damn long movie. But it was awesome. I made sharon and Joyce run from their respective schools to watch the movie. hahahahaha. =X Annoying CChigh students behind us. Laughing for no bloody reason.
Went back to gardens with shar, joyce and einnie to have Frolick and then to packet food from chomps back to my house.
MY FIRST BIRTHDAY CAKE IN 2009, FROM QD:
Yeah I'm super egoistic. I believe I'll get another. HAHAHAHAAH. Told them to skip the birthday song to me cause I find it real awkward.
Then we did the usual: Rock Band. Totally suck now. Haven't touched it in weeks, soon to be a month.
24th Jan: Went shopping. GOT A SKIRT. A SKIRT OKAY?! Yeah idiots, I do wear skirts.
Almost got Shar to wear a dress. Sms Convo: Me: I'll probably wear my skirt one day when I go out with you all. Shar: Yeah and I'll wear a dress. Me: OKAY! I wear a skirt and you wear a dress on the next outing. Whoever doesn't, pays $50. Shar: WAH NO NO JUST KIDDING. Loser. =P
Omg I better try to finish all my homework by tonight. So that I can enjoy my CNY. CHIONG AH!!!!!
My school is being fucking anal. Damn fucking anal! Wait, I said it was FUCKING ANAL right? ANAL. Not the first time I'm saying this. But seriously anal. It seriously sounds like the teachers are trying to act busy but putting students in trouble. Not gonna say what school and give them another reason to go all moral and go all "You are a bad student" bullshit. I have ZERO respect for some teachers. None. Zilch. I'm only talking politely to them cause THEY HAF DA POWA TO KICK U OUTTA SCHOOL. Bad conduct grade, warning letter, expulsion blah blah. All threats used against you so that you'd become THEIR version of an ideal student.
I'M FOR HUMAN RIGHTS. I DON'T NEED TO SUFFER UNDER AUTHORITARIAN AIRHEADS.
When they ask me to do something, and I ask them WHY. Oh my fucking blabbler god. -why did I even ask?- They're response: "This shows your character. Whether you have morals. Responsibility" -ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm- That's their answer to anything really. If you get a chance to, try it. Try going: "Why should I eat Hokkien Mee?" Response: -You know it- "This shows your character. Whether you have morals. Responsibility"
Ugh now my head hurts. I think I might have broken a mirror unconsciously.
President Barack Obama's inauguration today!-Bye bye George Bush!! And your long reign of umm, horror?- I can't believe I listened to his entire speech, but hell, it was inspiring. I'm joining the crowd and waving Obama banners in hopes that he'll (heavily cliched) usher us into a new and better era. Be it economical, political and social. (/cliche)
"Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met."
-Resounding cheers-
A new black president is a scene indeed. His speech sent a few chills up my spine. (It better have right? If it didn't, Obama would have failed.) Looking forward to what this president, from his perspective of being a black, can give us. He promises a lot. A LOT. Most presidents do but hardly deliver. Should I add that Singapore wasn't invited to his inauguration? Oh no Considering we've hosted F1 and the soon to be 2010 Youth Olympics, shouldn't our dear politicians be given at least ONE seat? Ahem, moving along. Did I mention he promised a lot?
Borrowed P&P to re-watch today. The Keira Knightly one. The one where my Literature teacher deemed it as "Too romanticized and hollywoodized". I remember watching it when it first came out and I was like "Oh shit, she's talking too fast. I can't catch anything!!!" But after having it as my literature text, I FINALLY UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING. It is actually really funny. =X
GP matters... I really am annoyed that I can't think of a good arguement on why 1. Incest is bad 2. Cannibalism is bad The moral questions, questions.
ARGH!
Twilight thing, too hyped. The hot protagonists probably got the teenager's hormones going. Apparently, New Moon is really gonna be a new moon for the Twilight set.
Directors: Catherine Hardwicke replaced by Chris Weitz
(Rumoured) Replacement actors: Michael Copon replaces Taylor Lautner.
Aww, chill fangirls. Seriously, chill. I HATE it when movies change any of the main cast. But if that guy's bad and he's gotta go, he's gotta go.
Einnie got me my BURFDAE CAKE!!!! She made me swear not to open it till Friday. Oh, the more it's not allowed, the more it's tempting to. Shucks.
I'm just procrastinating to do my maths homework. I'm completely stumped about Binomial Distribution. The probability of me getting the right answers is 0.000001 to the power of 10.
Lesson learnt on 19th January 2009: SHARMILA SUCKS AT KEEPING SECRETS.
Headed over to Einn's house in the late evening to study econs market failure test for tomorrow. -gasp- I feel 60% prepared. -puffs out chest- Sharon and I talked about a range of things while studying, probably so that neither of us will go derange from our work. Things to take note:
We are part of the anti-JC club
We dislike the Twilight hype. It is OVER-RATED.
We also found out how to become an International Bestseller for books. Follow our much analysized steps and walk down the path to fame-hood. Step 1: Write a novel about vampires. Preferably a HOT MALE VAMPIRE who is a romanticist. Step 2: The vampire's love interest should be a HOT FEMALE HUMAN that he has/wants to protect. Step 3: Make sure you add loads of "emo-ness" and brooding for the HOT MALE VAMPIRE as a flavouring. Emo and vampires go as well as strawberries and chocolate. Yum. AND THAT'S IT. That's how easy it is! Just 3 easy steps. It doesn't have need to be an excellent storyline with many plot twisters and scenes to probe a person's morals and consciousness. You just need those elements listed up there and that's it! Write your book, sit back, wait for Hollywood to beg for rights to make a movie and watch the money roll in. In case anyone's stupid enough to believe that, Sharon and I are just poking fun at how 1,000,000 authors are proliferating the book market with 10,000,000 vampire books wutg these few elements and everyone's going "gaga" about it. And guess what? I'm not gonna charge you for this info!!!!
Okay shit. I need to study for my test. WTF am I doing on the computer?
BTW, MY BIRTHDAY IS IN 8 DAYS TIME AS OF 20TH JANUARY 2009! -COUGH-
Aight it's the new year. Happy 2009...Late greetings...blah blah. Unnhh...
Moving on.
The Little Nyonya officially ended today. Sharon and I have been sitting in front of the TV together laughing hysterically and questioning almost everything. You bet it has the wrong effect on us. Eliz was getting all hyped up and kept sending Sharon her thoughts on various parts of the show via sms. During advertisements today we played the guitar. OH IT HAS BEEN AWHILE. My classical and acoustic guitars are a little dusty. DON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT MY ELECTRIC GUITAR. I think that's somewhere in the house?? Err.... Anyway we used my guitars and we played and sang OLD songs. Songs I bet even you've forgotten.
That Thing You Do - The Wonders
Perfect - Maren Ord (Omfgwtfbbq, I totally forgot this song. I fell in love with it when I first heard it and I totally forgot it.)
As Long as You Love Me - Backstreet Boys
Uptown Girl - Westlife
Crush - Mandy Moore
I'm Like a Bird - Nelly Furtado
Somethin' Stupid - Robbie and Nicole (The guitar part makes me sing a lil too high. Sharon heard me and went: "Janice... What are you singing?")
Superman - Five for Fighting
It's more fun when she gets on the piano and I accompany or vise versa. We've only done that for Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" and Jungle Book's "Bear Necessaties". That's a cute song and the guitar accompaniment is damn fun to play.
