i love weekends

I love weekends. I LOVE WEEKENDS.

I practically slacked this weekend lah. Too lazy to blog haha.

I went to suntec city yesterday, which was Earth Day. There were thousands of cars driving in, and then we saw a monstrous blue and white structure towering over us. Guess what it was?

Of course, the infamous ERP that every Singaporean loves to hate and hates to love. If you have no idea what that is, kindly bang your head thrice again the wall, to stimulate those lousy brain cells of yours. I can almost guarantee that the sight of this much-hated structure will make anyone feel like starting a 'i-hate-ERP' group on facebook. Well, at least people who love money too much, like me.

Papa-pants was !@#$% over how he had to pay $2 to get in on a saturday evening. I totally understand his sense of loss. You can buy a double cheeseburger for 2 bucks. I bet you didn't know that. A double cheeseburger leh. I feel strangely distressed.

If 2000 cars were in suntec, it means that the 'gahmen' just gained another $4000 from its poor and pitiful subjects, robbing its citizens of 2000 double cheeseburgers. And like papa-pants always says, they use the robbed money to increase the pay of their already overpaid MPs, or buy double cheeseburgers for themselves, which is blisteringly unfair.

Big blue blistering barnacles.

Captain haddock is such a hoot.

magnets

I love neodymium magnets. They are like the strongest permanent magnets in the world. (:



My heart goes out to that poor tv.

So cool lah.

I wonder where I can buy some. This suckers can crush your fingers if used incorrectly.
I feel strangely glad that such powerful things exist in this world. I love all forms of power.

i miss my mc

I miss my MC.

I want it back. So that I don't need to play volleyball. And I am seriously hoping that the crazy pe teacher will allow me to not take the test, since I couldn't participate in the PE lessons from the beginning of the year.

Pesky pesky VOLLEYBALL. I am happy enough running balls around the school carpark. I feel heroic and oh so important. hahahaha. like real.

In fact, I think running after volleyballs is more fun than playing the sport itself.

MCs should last forever and ever so that zenia quek will never have to play a game of volleyball.

Argh.

Can anyone comprehend my sense of loss?

Its a freaking precious MC. GONE. ahh.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Some things I don't like about emails
1) I hate HATE HATE those sort of waste-my-time emails. 3/4 of the email is filled with thousands of email addresses from the constant forwarding... and more forwarding. And then when you finally reach the end, its probably something stupid like with why your nose is right smack in the middle of your face and not on your legs.
2) I don't get why people bother to forward those dumb emails. Stop wasting your time and my time. I am not interested in how I am going to be cursed for life if I do not continue forwarding the stupid dumbo email. To the person who invented this crap idea: get a life.
3) Despo sites love to spam inboxes with their 'lovely' computer generated emails that sound awfully nice and cordial. Oh, wait i meant mechanical.
4) You can't collect stamps like you can on snail mail. All you get are cheesy and corny email addresses of our yesteryears like power_puff1994@hotmail.com.

Note: i just randomly typed that email address out. No offence to the person who actually has that email address.

PATAPON

AHHH I LOVE PATAPON.

AHHH I LOVE PATAPON 2.

Patapon and patapon 2 have to be the 2 greatest games ever made for the psp. SO CUTE.

And obviously it is so because its JAPANESE. Get that? JAPANESE.

muahahahahahaha.

talent and passion.

Random video of the day.

Talent and crazy passion.

thumb twiddlers

Singaporeans are seasoned thumb-twiddlers.

Everytime i go on the mrt, i never fail to see a dozen or so quivering thumbs. And so what do they twiddle on?

1) Handphones. All those sms freaks are bound to get arthritis one day.
2) iphone/ipodtouch. It strikes me that these are super popular among mrt commuters.
3) PSP. People who own this have their eyes constantly glued to the screen. If an elephant came stomping in the mrt they wouldn't know, would they?
4) DS lite. People grip their stylus tightly and furiously poke at their screen. They might just poke you in the eye. ouch.

Plastic seats creak with their weight, and my neck creaks in an effort to stare at the ubiquitous PSP.

I learnt the word 'ubiquitous' from neil humphreys.

His books rule.

sushi and sashimi

I am dreaming about FOOD AGAIN. And I mean japanese food. I want to eat japanese food for my birthday! Sometimes I am tempted to go to NTUC and just buy the raw salmon and just eat it like that even though its not sashimi grade. AHHH.

I was supposed to do a photoblogpost on the 10 most important things to me today, but unfortunately I am too lazy and blimpish to mope around the house snapping photos. My father would probably think that I had caught the mad cow disease. It is after all a niu year.

I found some old photos of myself, including a baby me in a horrendous pink suit staring at the camera with some comtempt, probably because the buttons on the pink suit were popping out due to my excess baby baggage around the stomach area. Hmph. And guess what, a young 6 year old skinny bumpkin of a brother was sitting beside me dressed in a tucked-in bright red bugs bunny shirt.

Oh, the shame.

No wonder I look so discontented. And why didn't mama-pants buy me new clothes? WHY?

On the positive side, I look rather cute and fattish. Excuse the photo quality for being so lousy. Its as old as me. And so it has got quite a serious case of fading and chicken pox. Behold...

The pink blimp.


Bah, the quality is so lousy you can't see my cuteness.

more electone

More electone vids by the same super pro japanese person. Because I know you are too lazy to search for them by yourself. hah.

演奏者: maruさん

Jurassic Park medley


Final Fantasy XII


Final Fantasy V


As you can see, I am a beeeg final fantasy fan.

DON'T BE LAZY. watch it.

The dinosaur suit is becoming famous. hmm.

I totally respect this person.

electone

Japanese are so damn pro.

Pirates of the Caribbean


Star Wars Theme


IMPRESSIVE. Oh. My.

I have watched this a billion times, and it surprisingly still surprises me.

Music exam

Came back from a super long music lesson, and now I'm feeling lazy and nervous. Its on tuesday. TUESDAY. argh.

I WANT TO GO TO THE SUNTEC IT FAIR.

But thanks to my dear music exam and lousy holiday homework, I am stuck at home.

This years LJs (LEARNING JOURNEYS you dodo)are super boring. The SS/math one was boring, the bio one was boring, the YOG one was ok, and the chinese one was exceptionally boring.

Oh, the chinese LJ. I am speechless.

I wasted approximately 2hrs of my life watching a stupid movie that I didn't even want to watch. Correction: Documentary, not a movie. The documentary starts with the producer and her brother walking through a green, bushy forest, and it ends with the producer and her brother walking through the same green, bushy forest. How interesting. Oh, and i remember that the forest was in err... lim chu kang/yio chu kang/phua chu kang? Golly.

I am sad to say I learnt a lot from this documentary. I learnt that:
1) I have something against green bushy forests.
2) Singaporeans cannot make good movies.
3) Singapore likes names with chu kang in it.
4) Teachers have exceptionally bad taste. Especially chinese teachers.
5) People do not know when and where to use the phrase 'the end'. In case anyone didn't know, when the word the end appears in a movie, there isn't supposed to be anything after that, except credits. Unfortunately, that particular documentary carried on for a further 5 mins before the real end.

I love ranting. I am such a true blue Singaporean.

school uniforms

I think I have been watching too many school-based dramas.

Blame Boys Before flowers (hana yori dango), the korean drama. Their uniforms are super nice lah. Like very japanese sort of school uniform, with the jacket and everything. Singapore has a long way to go in terms of school uniform design. Right now we all look like cheapo office workers who wear name tags.

I am crazy over anything Nippon.

THE ADAPTATIONS OF HANA YORI DANGO
hana yori dango-manga This is where it all started from.
Meteor Garden-Taiwanese drama.
hana yori dango- Japanese drama and movie.
Boys Before Flowers- Korean.

Seems pretty popular eh?

On a random side note, there is one uniform in singapore that looks like the sailor moon one, but it does look a tad weird. Because it stands out from all the other drab, monotonous, boring, skirts and pinafores and culottes and what not.

We have a fancy education system but a lousy school uniform standard.

And that certain fancy education system is killing me day by day.

nokia 5730

It seems that everyday I find a new phone I want. This is almost like a phone blog now. haha.

Unfortunately, instead of practicing music, I very smartly turned on my laptop, and that is why you are seeing this. Now, I like the nokia 5730, which has a slide out qwerty keyboard, but is only slated to be released in 3rd quarter 2009. Sad Face. And stop seething at how materialistic I am. I can hear it.

Anyway, I set a new record on Tower Bloxx Deluxe mobile version, with a whopping 243 blocks and 18000+ people. Omg, I am so pleased with myself. Strangely, I use my phone more for gaming than for communication.



Yes, i spend all my time watching this sort of geeky videos. Face it.

omg i love ftly

Short post today.

We are finally done with the DREADED CMPS PROPOSAL. REJOICE. Omg I am so happy haha.

After LJ, shermaine chng came to my house to do CmPS proposal. And then... we watched ftly. MUAHAHAHAHA. I am somehow going to force her to watch ep 19 tonight, instead of her beloved 'we got married'.

Long live FTLY. Grace pong, you must watch it soon again. You promised. Ok, maybe you didn't.

I just realised that i might have watched ep 18 5 times. And I seriously need to go and practice music. Before my MUSIC EXAM. so stressed again. ):

I am still sitting before the laptop in my sweaty pe shirt and culottes.

It requires a lot of effort to drag myself away from the laptop screen. help.

I despise spiteful people.

Not in a good mood today, because I realised how political the world is.
Thanks _____, for the hint. I just lost my respect for someone whom i have never really respected much, which worsens my already terrible impression of that someone.

Think before you say anything, you big gumball. You were the one who chose to keep your mouth shut, and bask in your non-existent glory. Stop living in your fake world, and stop pretending to be someone or something you aren't. You are making people sit up and noticing you, for all the wrong reasons.

I doubt you will ever read this. But who cares.

I feel strangely gratified.

Once again, I despise spiteful people.

'Despise' might be a bit of an understatement. I am a human, and humans are filled with hatred, hatred for all things ugly.

lj week

This year's LJ week is super boring lah. I want to go back to KUKUP nao. Not lower peirce reservoir. Or even better, they should arrange a trip to JAPAN.

In my dreams.

On a random side note, I realised people call me a lot of things.

-Zenia. AMAZINGLY, only my brother calls me correctly.
-Zenia Quek. *glares at ringers batchmates*
-Zee-na. Ahem music teacher. Ahem.

---------------------------------------------------------
Introducing some characters in the current life of Zenia. Drumroll please. In order of appearance.

1) Valerie Pang AKA Uncle Pang.

Personality: Soft, easily to bully, and slightly childish. But a nice kind person overall.

2) Shermaine Chng AKA wormy 2

First Impression: Omg. Why are you so tall? WHY???
Personality: Ridiculous, spastic.

3) Grace Cheong AKA Grace Pong
Fellow Ringers batchmate and ex-classmate. Old nickname was Bean-face, because she has a beanish face. First seen pouting and trying to poke me in the stomach. Loves english dramas a lot. Like GA. Most bouncable person i know. Small head size. Freaks out easily. Coined the name Zenia Quek Cai Pong. For that she shall be classified as Class B ridiculous object.
First Impression: Ahh your head is so cute.
Personality: Spontaneous, dramatic, cute.

4) Lau Jing Han AKA laohan
Crazy netballer who has a PhD in scaring people out of their bones while they are eating lunch. Very very dangerous. Prone to sudden mood swings and loves anime and manga.

5) Poh Shi Qi AKA Poh

Sat on her specs one day. Your not so typical guai-kia. 'Lovely' facial expressions and 'elegant' body language. Classfied as Class D very strange object.
First Impression: I can't remember. Too funny to jog my memory.

Im tired now, shall introduce more people soon.

Omg I am such an uninteresting person. ):
And this is such a boring post. I'm going to do another later.

Meanwhile my brother's beloved wife is giving off weird engine like noises.

Its a laptop you dodo.

Im lazy

I had to drag myself to the computer to do CmPS proposal. And i doubt I will do any productive work. So here I am at blogger.

Today was pretty interesting. I spent my morning gaping at new phones on the net, went for music lessons, went for dinner, and toured the parkway parade car park for added excitement.

I have something against the parkway parade car park. It is a lousy unethical money making scheme. It dopes car owners into paying $2.10 for a car ride around a concrete jungle filled with well, more cars who were unfortunately, also doped.

3 things I bet your father/mother/whatever say when carparks were full:
1) The architect who designed this carpark should be fired.
2) That guy doesn't know how to drive/park.
3) Whose idea was it to come to this place?

PP carpark is lousy beyond belief. It was,is and will be a major traffic jam in the making. The management doesn't even bother to put a FULL sign outside when the carpark is full, and that is how they carry out their unscrupulous money making scheme, thereby cheating innocent people of their hard-earned money, which they could have used to buy nice, soft and green vegetables from the Giant hypermart.

We drove in to the carpark, went all the way up, and then down.

For 30 _____ minutes.

Profanities.

I learnt something new today.

Never ever ever go to any shopping centre after 6pm and expect to find a nice empty car park lot.

And to think that we are in a recession now. Marvellous.

Japan rocks

Japan rocks my socks. Except that I'm not wearing any socks now. HAHA. so lame omg.

I LOVE TECHNOLOGY. I love gadgets and i love being a geek.

CAUTION: If you happen to have something against Japan, are not interested in factual talk, or don't like sushi, I suggest that you do not read the words below.

Japan is a technology hub. A country full of innovations and weird inventions. They have the most advanced cellular network in the world. Already, they are progressing to 4G, while some countries are still stuck in 2G. They are approximately 1 generation ahead of US in terms of their technology. Forget the iphone. The Japanese have phones that enable you to pay for everything, watch tv simply by connecting to the network, and all your other normal phone functions, which all lie dusty and forgotten amidst the new wave of things you can do with your phone.

Normal phones are swiss army knives.
Japanese phones are Japanese phones.

You can't use a Japanese phone outside Japan. The infrastructure is not there. The cellular network is not there. I wish we had the Japanese cellular network in Singapore. ):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today was RGS's 130th BIRTHDAY. YAY. Founders Day today was really special. It was the first one that was held at night. I have one major gripe: the concert segment is shorter than the monotonous speech segment.

It was freaking hot can. We were sitting at the koi pond area AGAIN. And then some sec ones had to be smart and sit in front of us. And I was sweating in my layers of clothing, and everyone was squashed like sardines. I swear I could feel the ants biting at my butt.

After the concert hitched a ride in shermaine's dad's car. Shermaine's dad seems very fatherly lorh. And the car was nicely fragranced with DURIANS. I love durians. They make the world go round. Ok not exactly, but who cares. Now that i think about it, I might have left a sweaty butt print on the car seat. Hmm.

Reached home and I ate a 6 inch subway melt. I am sooo going to get phat. I ate pizza for CCA dinner already lorh. Now i feel like a giant beachball bouncing around the house lah. That is a very depressing thought.

The giant beachball needs to go and brush her teeth now.

Dettol soap

I just opened a new bottle of Dettol bath soap today. And now i smell like a walking toilet. How nice. Never ever buy pine fragrance soaps.

Soap problems aside, i can slack for a bit now. No more irritating MATH PTS. MUAHAHAHAHA.

I am on top of the world. And I have nothing to blog about AGAIN. Inspiration evades me.

ladida.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grace pong's failed attempt at TWIT LANGUAGE. This is a serious issue.

-Zen- says:
grace pong !
GRACE! says:
yozzzz! howzzz are eeuuuuxxx?
GRACE! says:
amg my attempt at twit is PHAIL

Omg that is seriously FAIL LAH.

3 things one should never use in twit language:
1) The word 'yo'
2) Too many 'z's
3) Too many 'u's

The correct way to say hi in twit language:
Hiies!! Got miss miie mahhs??

The correct way to say bye in twit language:
Buaiis. see euu again tomorrow kays.

Omg I am such a seasoned pro. I am amazed that i still remember the language of my yesteryears. I sound like a grandmother.

Twit language is so PASSE. So if you are still using it, please bang your head against the wall, once, twice, or if you please, thrice. Banging your head against the wall is good for your mental health. It destroys cancer cells, blahblahblahblahscientificexplanationblahblahblahblah.

Blah is a good word.

ipod touch

I want an ipod touch. The 'funnest' ipod ever. YAY.

Forget about the iphone. Because I don't need a phone.

I just want an all-in-one entertainment device. Minus the phone part.

Hmm.

I still want my digital piano.

Actually i think I could buy the ipod now, just that I never can part with my dear fat pouch of money. Ka-ching Ka-ching. Hmm. More likely Rustle-Rustle. My precious notes. (:

Oh. My. I think I must stop deluding myself that I have all the time in the world to go and fiddle around with an 'all-in-one-entertainment' device.

I should instead look on the positive side and be thankful that i have tower bloxx deluxe on my handphone. Ok i think i just destroyed my want for the ipod, in just a matter of minutes.

Have you ever wondered why handphones are called handphones? They spend more of their life being stuck inside my bag instead of being in my nice grubby cute little hands (Ok, my hands are not disgusting ok). They are more truthfully, bagphones.

I have a 3G bagphone. hmmm. Marvellous.

You have a bagphone, I have a bagphone, everyone bagphone bagphone.

I am stupendously amazed by my lousy sense of humour.

ahh math

Ahh math results were crap. And i know I screwed Bio yesterday. Why did I not study harder? I have no idea how I am going to get mama-pants to sign math later. ): Actually it would be ok if I wasn't so careless. argh.

And yay i got a new thumbdrive. Its 2 gb. Which means its twice as much memory as my old one, which i spoiled and lost. Yes I know your thumbdrive is better than mine, don't need to brag about it. Right now, Im waiting for shiqi poh to reach home and teach me how to do math pt.

Dumdidumdidum.

I have nothing else to blog about. Marvellous. Hmm. I haven't used that word in quite awhile. I used to love to say it. In the times when my blogskin was pink and furry. Yes I know blogskins can't be furry.

ohohoh. Yesterday I dreamt that math teacher died. And that she was some sort of weird mixed blood person.
