My stationery arsenal

2011-12-03T21:56:00.003+08:00

I LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE STATIONERY.

So this post is dedicated to all the stationery I currently have, and all those that I'm about to lay my grubby and greedy little hands on in the near future.

Let's just say I wasn't always a materialistic stationery hoarder. Back in the not-so-old days when I would hardly feel self-conscious for carrying around a winnie-the-pooh school bag, I was content with any pen or pencil as long as it could write. It was a bonus if I got someone's rotton old pilot pen. Even better if someone gave me a pen with non-conventional pink or purple ink.

Fast forward to secondary school. EVERYONE was using some kind of pilot/uniball/blahblah pens and mechanical pencils with pretty little notebooks that seemed too nice to use. Meanwhile, I was using an old exercise book and a bunch of nondescript pens from various unreputable sources. Subjected to the mysterious force called peer pressure, I succumbed and turned into a first class pen snob in a matter of months.

To all those people who I imagined to have sniggered at me for my cheapo stationery, I say HAH.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Anyway, here's my humble collection.

1) What I bring to school on a daily basis:

- Aluminium ruler
- Whiper PLUS refillable correction tape 6mm
- Pentel Hi-Polymer LIGHT - I'm really excited to start using this! Haven't seen it in any other store besides art friend.
- Pentel Hi-Polymer SOFT - quite good but I prefer the regular one
- uni 0.5 2B NanoDia Blended Hi-Quality Lead (fancy name much, as though I'm using diamonds, which wouldn't be a good idea since I would be scratching up my paper more than writing on it.) It's nice and dark though.
- Pilot SUPER GRIP 0.5 mech pencil - I love this, super comfortable and affordable. Don't like the fancy schmancy shaker version.
- uniball Signo DX 0.38 - THE BEST PEN IN THE WORLD. NO BUTS. blue-black, bordeaux black (maroon), emerald green, orange, lavender black and blue. When I use this, I feel as though I'm writing fine poetry beside a lake under blue skies.
- uniball stylefit - 5in1 with rose pink, orange, brown, lime green, and mechanical pencil cartridges. Shares the same awesome waterproof gel ink with the Signo DX.
- Pilot SUPERGEL - 0.7 in light blue and blue. Ok but not great. Tends to skip a bit.
- Pilot P-500 in blue - I use this exclusively for writing in my school diary. Goes well with the paper but otherwise quite ordinary.
- MILDLINER double ended markers in blue and green - best highlighters/markers in the world. Pretty muted colours, makes you wonder why all other highlighters are on a mission to blind you.
- Zig clean color in green - double ended marker that's a crowd favourite amongst teenage Singaporean girls. Lasts for quite awhile.
- Zig calligraphy II in black - double ended chisel tipped marker used for valiant but amateurish attempts at cursive script.

2) New additions:

- Platinum Plasir fountain pen in blue - My first fountain pen! Also my most expensive pen.
- Uni limited collection (another marketing gimmick) of 5 pens. Signo DX blue, jetstream sport 0.7, multi 5, vision RT, and my favourite KURU TOGA mech pencil. This set was a STEAL at $11.90 considering that the KURU TOGA by itself retails for around $7.
- Economy pack of 15 cheapo ballpoint pens for $1 - I love valu$ for ridiculously cheap buys like this, even if it means I don't qualify to be a 100% pen snob.

Just talking about this fills me with serotonin.

facebook woes

2011-10-22T22:51:00.004+08:00

A friend recently commented that my facebook wall was devoid of any posts or comments, and was inundated with game updates. She was basically trying to say I was a no-lifer, which I don't completely deny.

In fact, the only reason why I'm even on facebook is to manage a virtual restaurant (restaurant city) and a virtual me (sims social). Nowadays I don't even do that anymore.

On rare occasions, I post a photo of something in my garden pray fervently that someone other than the mum or the dad notices it. I later realise that a photo of my awesomely wondrous chilli plant, no matter how well composed or beautifully shot, can never compete with the latest self-flattering photo of a teenage female narcissist.

A CATEGORISATION OF FACEBOOKING SPECIES (WARTS AND ALL)

1) The teenage narcissist
Description: Favourite pastime is to post camwhore shots of a pouting, big-eyed, supposedly cutesy self. Photo albums belonging to this species typically contains proof of at least 500 attempts at some ego-boosting, attention seeking, self-glorifying madness. 10 times more likely to be a female than a male.

2) The budding mouse hunter
Description: Lives on facebook for a chance to catch a virtual mouse with a virtual mousetrap every 15min or so. Utopia for this species would be a city made of super brie. Takes delight in announcing the latest catch of the day.

3) The oh-so-deep intellectual
Desciption: Species who posts abstract abstracts from shakespearean works, the latest gaga song, the theory of relativity etc and expects you to come to a conclusion that he/she is made of better stuff than the rest. Typically at odds with species 1 - the teenage narcissist. Very likely to check a comment for grammatical errors and opportunities to add in a bombastic word before posting it.

3) The cursing & swearing ranter
Description: Painfully adept at blindingly colourful language and rivals a Singaporean at complaining. Loves to find fault with everything and finds every opportunity to declare that the world sucks and is against him/her. Never manages to finish a sentence without peppering it with the latest profanity. A wannabe rebel that is unlikely to be one in real life.

4) The pessimist
Description: Highly emotional and unstable, posts suicidal thoughts every 5s and generally does an excellent job at dampening your mood. Compels you to comment on her post to comfort him/her with a big virtual hug and a thousand smiley faces. Most probably a hopeless attention seeker.

5) The optimist
Description: Highly spiritual and loves to quote uplifting verses from the bible. Most likely to remind you of the phrase 'Sunshine yellow butter mellow' and spends time searching out for pessimists to shine some golden rays of hope into their dismal dark lives. These are the good samaritans of the facebook ecosystem. Their saint-like image sometimes belies their true nature.

6) The no-lifer
Description: Manages to post a game update congratulating himself/herself for a casual-gaming achievement every 10min. Irritates everyone by sending out countless gift requests and game invites that everyone ignores. Loves to post photos of chilli plants and stupid grasshoppers. Most likely to take the form of Zenia Quek.

Church services

2010-04-13T23:10:00.001+08:00

There are generally 2 types of people who nod in church.

Those who nod in agreement with the sermon, and those who nod in their sleep.

Hee.

the mini bonsai

2010-03-31T20:08:00.003+08:00

Hmm. whats in this box?

Oooh a mini bonsai! :D

Size comparison with my G2. Its super tiny! And it is a real tree. Just that its dead and will never grow any larger.

A close-up for good measure.

2010-03-21T23:16:00.002+08:00

I didn't get to enjoy the march holidays at all. ):

In fact, I feel more stressed then ever. Its like I just went through a bulldozer on steroids and lived to suffer the pain.

Ok maybe thats a bit extreme. But you get the idea.

I hope I don't stub my toe on the fan when I wake up tomorrow.

Haven't blogged in eons. Sec 4 is a crazy year. Anyway, went to Labrador Park recently for our seagrass project.

Oops sloping horizons. grrrr.

Back to the grind. D:

2010-01-04T12:59:00.003+08:00

I can't be bothered to write taiwan trip part 2.
Cos I can't remember anything else HAHA.

Anyway, happy new year and try not to grow fat.

I guess I have to get used to writing blah/blah/10 on the corner of my worksheets soon. I don't want to go back to school and I don't want to be sec 4.

Relishing the last few hours of freedom. At least I get 1 day extra since the school is getting cozy with the sec ones before they let all the older heads (sec2s,3s,4s) barge into the school building and squash all the tiny sec ones into pineapple juice.

I'm already looking forward to the chinese new year holiday. pineapple tarts. hmm..

Happy boxing day

Happy boxing day.

Its been a long time since i last posted.

Taiwan trip Part 1
Sausage-eating, night-market-loving, and hokkien-speaking Taiwan is a land of treasures (as my tour guide said). Its scenery is dominated by green mountains and more green mountains. Everywhere you turn, there will be a huge mountain looming in the distance. In the countryside, farms seem to stretch on forever, and old, small houses dot the landscape. In the city, most notably Taipei, skyscrapers and revving motorcycles surround you. And no, I am not writing a descriptive essay here.

It gives the impression of a country stuck between past and present.

I love the night markets. Anyone who hates the night markets must be crazy. I visited three of these bustling, chaotic, and aromatic markets. The first thing that hits you is the salty pungent smell of 'chou dou fu'. I absolutely don't understand why its smelly. It smells kinda nice. Maybe people who have noses for durian will have noses for chou dou fu. And then of course, there is the oyster omelette, which is a hot favourite among tourists and locals alike. Its crispy and gooey at the same time, and is served with a dollop of pinkish sweet sauce.

Don't forget the sausages. They are fat, sweet, artery-clogging atrocities. Atrocious in a good way. They come served in a rice bun, or just sliced up for convenience. The most unique one i ate was the sausage coated in bread and potato and then deep fried. It was awesomely good. Good enough for you to want another one though your stomach is already bursting with oyster omelettes, milk tea, and deep fried chicken.

I conclude that their night markets are the place to go if expanding waistlines are of secondary concern. You get to binge on the cheap.

Today, I had the most memorable meal of my life.

Really.

LT and I worked from 9am to 5pm today at some kindergarten tucked away among a maze of soaring HDB blocks. Without for LT and her 'natural flair' for navigation, I think I would be wandering around in Pasir Ris now.

Time was spent creating new decorations, all of which required copious amounts of cutting, glue-ing, painting, taping, wrapping, brain-juicing and blahing. Blahing being talking about how we regret signing up and would rather be watching our fish (fishville), trees (country story), and restaurants (restaurant city) grow on facebook.

Lunch was perhaps the highlight of the day. I would love to say that everything was fine and we all enjoyed a bowl of fried rice, but no. Ravenous and about to eat up the teachers, we were greeted by a bowl of macaroni with peas and bits of carrot, accompanied by a bowl of cabbage soup.

It sounds ok, but this particular lunch has confirmed my suspicions that teachers cannot cook. Everything was, to put it kindly, slightly (not really) on the bland side. Not that anyone of us expected much of kindergarten food, but I really cannot imagine how the teachers and students seem to able to eat such food everyday.

And to think that when I was in kindergarten, I actually looked forward to going to school for the food (Yes, I was a glutton).

I don't think adding a little salt in their food will cost this kindergarten their 'healthy food award', or whatever it says on their website.

What is the world coming to??? D:

holidays

2009-12-01T21:31:00.002+08:00

Dumb post today, as always.

Events of note
1) Cheapo watch No.2 died out on me. It has now been relegated to the deepest crevices of my drawer, and is spending quality time with Cheapo watch No.1.

2) PP has managed to break his personal record of baking 5 fruit cakes in 1 month.

3) A cockroach that was stupid enough to fly onto MP's arm is now spending its after-life in the sewers.

4) Left foot has grown to be 2.5cm longer than Right foot.

5) I went out with LT.

6) I went out with LT.

7) I went out with LT.

ipod touch for christmas

2009-11-27T21:34:00.003+08:00

Got an iPod touch 8gb for christmas!!

Went to SITEX yesterday to drool over electronics and gadgets. Its an absolute geek's dream, which means I was kinda living my dream yesterday. Spent some time playing around with the many, many laptops, much to the amusement of the salespeople.

Yes, I admit i didn't have the buying power.

Went to the epicentre booth and almost bought a pink iPod nano, but in the end PP decided that the iPod touch was more worth it.

I walked out of SITEX with a bag of free accessories for iPod. $87 worth of freebies, to be exact. I wonder how this people make money. I got a free screen protector, free earphones, free silicon case, free smartwrap (for those pesky earphone cords) and a free wall charger.

Right now, I'm flapping my arms in excitement and wondering why I didn't get an iPod sooner. I dream of playing TapTapRevenge2 in my sleep.

iPod touch. heh. :D

pen story

2009-11-23T19:49:00.003+08:00

I think youtube has a lot of interesting vids. Haven't being blogging recently because I was too caught up being bored. According to the description, it's a stop motion film created with 9600 prints, and 1800 shots.

To those who don't know what stop motion is, you have probably been living inside a shell (go google). Its arduous and tiring, but the end results are pretty cool.

Gah. Don't you feel inspired? We should have more of this kind of creative advertisements.

AMAZING. love it.

watching grass grow

2009-11-03T22:44:00.002+08:00

Facebook gives me the motivation to stay awake and not sleep so early.

I having been watching grass grow on country story for the last 1 hour. OK maybe not grass, but purple radish. I am determined not to let anyone on CS with itchy fingers steal my crops.

It's a tranquil and blah-ish experience.

My vocabulary is painfully limited. I know.

Blah is a good goofy word.

my christmas wishlist

2009-11-01T18:16:00.002+08:00

It's November. How time flies.

Christmas 2009 is just around the corner, so time for another wishlist! I know gifts and presents aren't the main focus of Christmas in the religious POV, but it adds to the cheery festive mood during the holiday season that all can enjoy.

A wise old quote from the Bible: It's more blessed to give than to receive.

So don't be a scrooge and stop hoarding your precious pocket money for ridiculous items like posters and photos of your beloved Korean idols (you can print them yourself btw). Sheesh.

Christmas shopping for idiots
1) Never buy photo frames. Frankly, they just take up valuable space in your cupboard for the next 10 years or so.
2) Buy things that you think the recipient will like, not things that you like.
3) Daiso, if all else fails. Don't just buy for the sake of having something to give though.
4) Books always work. Most bookstores like borders usually have some good deals.
5) Book vouchers or cards with stored values. I think GV used to sell cards with stored value that you could use to buy tickets, don't know if they still have them.

Seems like i forgot about my wishlist. Maybe next time.

mobile phone evolution

2009-10-26T22:32:00.005+08:00

Ahh I remember those brick-like phones. It was an object of fascination when i was younger. And i mean really young, probably when i was 3 or 4 years old. I was told never to touch it lest i dropped it on my foot. I secretly think that my tech obsession started long ago.

I'm thankful that we are all living in a world of iphones, blackberries and what-not.

--------------------------------------------

It strikes me that we might have reached the peak of human civilisation.

The world might just end tomorrow.

2009-10-23T19:35:00.004+08:00

How to waste time part 2:
Step 1 - Make your own 3d glasses
1) Get a piece of cardboard, draw out spectacle frames and cut it out.
2) Make sure you cut out the part where the 'lenses' are supposed to be (don't be dumb). Also ensure that you have some way of making your DIY glasses stay on your face. The alternative is to glue it on your face if you are too dumb.
3) Fix red cellophane paper to the left hole, and blue cellophane to the right hole.

Step 2 - Watch 3D videos on youtube
1) search for 3d videos
2) put on your glasses/ glue on your glasses
3) Stare at the screen like an idiot.
4) Try not to drool and poke your screen in wonderment and awe.

Note: You can colour transparency plastic blue and red using markers if you don't have cellophane.

bored

2009-10-19T19:06:00.002+08:00

5 ways to spend excess time:
1) Indulge in mindless consumerism like I did. (shopping)
2) Go to Ikea to eat swedish meatballs and turn into one too.
3) Develop a passion for harassing people on facebook.
4) Eat cheese.
5) Sms someone that you like to eat cheese.

i love saturdays

2009-10-17T11:32:00.002+08:00

I love Saturdays.

I love how you get greeted by half a newspaper's worth of mobile phone ads in the morning. Its fierce competition between the telcos, so you see red, green, orange.

Oh and btw, M1 now sells iPhones.

Today is exceptional, because there is this Sony Ericsson Satio thing stuck on the front of The Straits Times. How attention grabbing. And then if you look at the back of Home, there is an ad that involves a samsung Pixon12, a tiny dog (i feel like squashing it), and a fat guy. Nice combination eh?

Whats more amusing is that the dog happens to be stuck in the Fat guys XXL (or maybe more X) pants.

I should cut it out and stick it in the photo album.

Please don't think I am crazy.

final fantasy

2009-10-15T10:28:00.002+08:00

Isn't this song epic? Final Fantasy has the nicest soundtracks out of all the video games. I am a fan of Nobuo Uematsu on facebook now. heh.

I love Final Fantasy music.

Don't you?

Stop lying to yourself. You are an alien from mars if you don't like it.

Today we mourn the death of yet another of our squishy friends, Mr Lizard No256.

The wretched creature was found squashed between the door and the door frame, once again. My door has been anointed with lizard juices, once again.
I dare not walk through that doorway, once again.

Look what you are stepping on.

I love adding the occasional excitement to your otherwise drab and boring life.

gameboy colour

2009-09-20T22:32:00.004+08:00

I suddenly find the brick-like nintendo gameboy colour very attractive. Its all about the old school thickness of the old gameboy systems. Don't get me wrong, I still think the ds lite is wonderful and desirable.

I have always loved thick stuff. I still remember the days when I would find all the thickest books in the house and write: 'This book belongs to Zenia' in my childish scrawl (my handwriting now, is unfortunately still horrible).

One of those books happened to be PP's engineering manual. Its approximately the thickness of 2 harry potter and the order of the phoenix books put together. I still remember it contained a lot of words, and some drawings of toilet bowls. heh.

I am such a weirdo. Anyone has a working nintendo gbc? With game cartridges?

2009-09-18T20:04:00.004+08:00

The new lg chocolate looks like a bar of chocolate. really. Its so amazing its almost ridiculous. The panoramic screen is utter indulgence. AWESOME.

Did I mention how awesome it was?

Anyway, reading the issue on Malaysia's food heritage being hijacked (article on yahoo), I couldn't help but feel slightly angry. Its not like they are the only country who have migrants from china and other countries. Its like they are claiming all the glory. The cheek.

blogger is normal now

2009-09-17T21:37:00.002+08:00

AHH EYAs IN 3 WEEKS.

I'm shocked by how fast time flies. I secretly think that the world is rotating faster or something. Wasn't I just about starting to enjoy my december holidays in 2008? And now its already 2009 and I'm one year older, grown a lot more white hair, and still none the wiser.

Right now I'm trying not to stare blankly at my newly acquired and wonderfully blank maths worksheet on the entertaining topic of circular measures. It has the just-came-out-of-the-copier smell.

Ya lah, I'm so ridiculously bored that I actually smell my worksheets. heh. Just that my nose happens to be blocked now so the smell is probably just a figment of my imagination.

I am glad to inform that my worksheet just received a showering of germs and saliva.

BB and PP

2009-09-13T17:05:00.000+08:00

Ever since my brother got his driver's license, PP has been forcing him to practice by driving himself back to army camp, while PP sits beside him in the car, and MP and I, being kay-poh, sit behind to watch.

BB(hands gripping wheel tightly): Eh papa, can help me turn the aircon away from me.
PP(fiddles around with the aircon settings): You crazy ah? Why can't you free one hand to adjust? Your nose itchy how? I scratch for you issit?

teehee. Somehow I'm not looking forward to learning how to drive.

the ipod evolution

2009-09-11T18:09:00.000+08:00

Seeing that blogger does not want to cooperate with me and let me upload images, I have decided to do a blah post again. I originally thought of documenting the whole history of the quintessential iPod and its iterations here. :D

You should thank blogger that you are not facing a page full geek stuff on the iPod and its journey and growth through the years. I say growth, but it has actually shrunk into the anorexic and oh-so-shiny must-have gadget we all know today.

*jumps up and down in excitement* I am going to document the 'ipod evolution' in a powerpoint!

Am i geek or what.

comex 2009

2009-09-10T21:58:00.000+08:00

COMEX 2009 was A W E S O M E!

Valerie pang the geek accompanied me to COMEX and we happily smudged our fingerprints all over the shiny screens of the latest in mobile phone technology. Stuff like the lg crystal, iphone3gs, htc magic blahblahblah. :D

Of course, I also managed to take a poke at her newly-bought samsung jet. Oh, we successfully hung the lg crystal display set in our geeky eagerness and excitement. heh. Luckily the singtel guy didn't chase us away.

Got to the sony booth, and we spent all our 50 bucks on earphones, which I do not regret buying, considering that while using them, I hear more bass details in my music. The pang of course, bought the pink set, while I got the expensive-looking black ones. :D

Found the samsung st550 somewhere and its really cool. Obviously the sales guy thought we were potential customers, since he spent a lot of time explaining its features while we poked around. I feel sorry for the poor guy. He wasted his time on a bunch of geeky goons who had empty wallets. We just nodded all along anyway. teehee. hee.

Spent the rest of the time drooling over macbooks, ipods, and empty portable hard drives (valerie, not me k). Typical. Val also spotted some mickey mouse disney branded mp3 player that cost 49 bucks or something like that.

YOU WILL NOT REGRET GOING TO COMEX 2009.

That is, if you have no problem with crowds and over full carparks.

comex here i come

2009-09-10T09:13:00.001+08:00

Going to comex with val pang later, woohoo!

Apple fans rejoice, the new generation of ipod nano, and ipod touch has been unveiled! And you are probably holding the ipod nano chromatic you just bought and cursing under your breath. HAHA. The wonders of technology.

ipod touch now comes with a whopping 64gb of memory, enough to house tons of videos and movies. Meanwhile, ipod nano now sports a video camera, a bigger screen, fm tuner, all while keeping the same price!

comex2009

2009-09-09T14:04:00.000+08:00

Anyone interested to go to COMEX 2009 with me tomorrow??? D:

Its at suntec and its going to be freaking HUGE.

I have never been to a IT fair before. Don't think I will fancy the jostling and pushing though.

howhowhow.

2009-09-07T18:16:00.003+08:00

Blogger is expectedly, still screwed.

Went to eat at seoul garden with PP and the big bro after CCA. I am still quite hungry leh. D:

After lunch we went to best denki to ogle at nice techy stuff. Techy stuff for PP means food processors and refrigerators. Techy stuff for me means real techy stuff, like cameras and laptops.

Geek pick of the week:
Samsung st550.

Its winning feature is that it has 2 screens! Gimmicky. Still a nice innovation though. Saw it in Digital life last week too.

3.5" touch screen at the back. Sorry about the huge pictures, too lazy to resize them. teehee.

You already knew long ago that I am a materialistic goon-head, so stop complaining.

Its random photo day.

Found my collection of maple prepaids. And no, I did not rob the bank to buy all of those. Hee i still remember running to 7/11 with fellow maplers before supplementary class to buy them during my primary school days. I am particularly proud of the 2 hologram ones. teehee.

2009-09-05T13:55:00.000+08:00

Woo haven't blogged in a long time. My life was boring and blah-ish the past few days.

Anyway, after stoning for 15mins one day, i decided that I was going to play maple story again. It took me a whole day to download the freaking client.

They have started this whole new class of jobs called Knights of Cygnus, added Malaysia to the already long list of maps, and dumped a huge bunch of new quests into my quest list.

Oh and after like 4 years of arduous training, I have finally advanced to 3rd job. woohoo! Ya lah I know that is superbly slow, but its not like you did any better. heh.

I love the music in Ellinia.

2009-08-29T22:43:00.001+08:00

I have never felt so free in my life.

I feel like hopping around like a deranged bunny.

Blogger is still screwed. D:

Got my two new electone score books today. FINALLY. Sadly, my teacher seems to have the impression that I like High School Musical, and so she bought the scores for the songs in it. The other is full of some J-POP songs that I totally never heard before. (anyone know 'DIAMONDS'???) It seems to be a collection of oldie songs from the 1980s-1990s.

Life better be more interesting tomorrow.

bah

2009-08-27T22:04:00.000+08:00

I have managed to distract myself successfully for the past 1 hr and 8 minutes.

CHEM AND PHYSICS SPA TOMORROW D: D: D:

Someone pray that I won't break anything during titration...

Oh wait. Make that 1 hr and 10 minutes.

I am such a goon head.

I realised that some people are actually just born to be DFCs. And of course, they kindly assume that I am ignorant and gullible and not knowing what on earth is going on when they are mocking me for something.

I have something called a brain you know.

A brain is a thing that is soft, squishy, and helps you make out such jokers from an otherwise good deck of cards.

DFCs. gah.

Oh, the DFC this time probably isn't you, but you have to admit you have been a DFC at some point in your life. In fact, most of us have been DFCs without even realising it.

Gosh. I hate how I destroy my own arguments.

eating less... and failing

2009-08-23T21:00:00.004+08:00

My marvellous plans to eat less this weekend were foiled by some birthday party at my aunt's house.
But, it is the most interesting birthday dinner I have been to, because the whole first floor was changed into some kind of high end buffet restaurant. (super cool lah!)

All the furniture was replaced with big round tables with flowing tablecloths, which were adorned with a flower centerpiece and a huge bunch of unnecessary cutlery. You know, like the 2 knives, 2 forks, 2 spoons, 2 plates western dining atrocity. Not to mention that everyone seems to be staring at you when you try to scoop rice with a largely inadequate fork, and then you realise that you end up with half your food on your lap.

For the record, I also managed to drop 2 peas on the floor. They are probably rolling around under the TV set by now. teehee. My aunt will be so pleased with me when she chances on those mouldy peas.

MP and I also managed to steal approximately half of the teabags at the buffet spread, along with a small jar of jam, and a large wad of thick napkins. We are so cheapo hahaha.

Here are a bunch of badly taken photos, courtesy of my lousy phone camera:

Ohmytian! I haven't blogged in 9 days.

I am proud to say I have been a guai girl. I actually managed to ignore blogger! Except that I became better friends with youtube. hee. Still waiting for episode 12 of EFHL to come out teehee.

I am such a total time-waster.

Meanwhile, my phone is taking delight in irritating me. It is very smartly not loading anything on my memory card, which means that blahblahblahblah.

I feel very lazy to think of how to end my sentences nowadays. heh.

2009-08-11T20:25:00.000+08:00

the big black box thing is a large format camera. It is unfortunately, not a strange accordion without keys.

3 EXAMS ARE OVER YAYYYY

2009-08-11T16:15:00.000+08:00

Hello world! The dreaded trio of BIO MATHS ENGLISH IS OVERRRRRRR. Jump for joy!

I need an empty cereal box.

Time for history pea-tea. Just when I was in a celebratory mood.

2009-08-08T11:13:00.000+08:00

Omg its national day tomorrow! I am going to force MP to order pizza for dinner haha. In hardcore mugger mode now cos I have 3 freaking exams on tuesday.

I am proud to say that I am almost done with bio, because i was such a guai girl yesterday afternoon. heh.

On a side note, isabelle the pok finally realised that she lived like 3mins away from me. She has been walking in and out of my house ever since.

Which is probably not the instant at which you are reading this.

digital cameras

2009-08-02T17:42:00.001+08:00

I have gotten over my mobile phone craze because I have gotten my beloved e63. heh.

So now, I have started unconsciously memorizing the specifications of cameras and other strange but wonderful pieces of tech wizardry, even though i should actually be doing the dreaded chinese PT now.

Not so interesting conversation i picked up after coming home from lunch:

MP: Ohhhh...so I left my foot stockings at home all along. No wonder I couldn't find them in the car.
PP (happily): Like that also can forget one. You are getting old and forgetful already!
MP (smartly): Like you are not getting old and forgetful lorh! Who forgot to off the toilet lights in the morning huh?
PP (bulldog-ishly): I bet you you are more forgetful than me ok. I can still do the sudoku in todays newspapers ok!

Unfortunately, another point of irrelevance from papa pants. Maybe its just me, but I do not see much connection between being able to do sudoku and forgetfulness.

homework ):

2009-07-31T21:10:00.000+08:00

I have 1 freaking pile of homework, plus 3 PTs to do.

WHY IS THE WORLD SO UNFAIR.

The fact that facebook is too enticing doesn't help at all. Luckily restaurant city is under maintenance now. Soooo dead.

Definitely not in a mood to write a lengthy post. I realised my posts have been reduced to lines of words.

Life only starts after JC. For now, I'm a grouchy zombie with humongous eyebags.

I want to be 5 again.

new skin

2009-07-29T21:50:00.000+08:00

This skin will probably change by tomorrow.

Right now, i discovered I have a multiple personality disorder.

A really serious case.

new blogskin?

2009-07-29T21:08:00.000+08:00

Should I get a new blogskin?

The panda has been with me for slightly more than 2 years. Its growing old and has white hair.

Oh right. Panda's are already half white in the first place.

I feel like choosing something more girly this time. Like pastel colours.

I can almost see some people cringing already.

Well, its my blog after all.

I might never rule the world, but i will always rule my blog.

MUAHAHAHAHA. awesome.

wtp

2009-07-28T22:36:00.000+08:00

Just got braces for my lower teeth today.

And its much more torturous than the ones on the top. I had to eat porridge again for dinner.

I AM SICK OF PORRIDGE.

Hope I do not get any ulcers or scratches or whatever.

Sleep.

WOOHOO

2009-07-26T21:31:00.000+08:00

Yesstupidbloggerpostingthinghasfinallysettledoutproperly.

Been really unproductive this weekend. I added approximately 200 words to my chinese PT report, which isn't a lot considering I had one whole weekend minus music lesson and sleeping time. I did managed to FINALLY download tower bloxx into my phone so I can waste more time happily tapping away on my favourite lump of plastic and metal.

Oh and did I mention PP got a new LG tv for his room ever since the lightning destroyed his old tv! Its much slimmer and nicer, and you can watch TV SHOWS ON IT. Isn't that simply amazing? The old destroyed idiot box (apparently MP says watching TV makes you an idiot) didn't give a beep ever since it got kissed by a little too much electric current.

I feel like the world needs a bit more lameness now. We bid farewell to the age of chunky box-like TVs that take up approximately the same space as an elephant, and warmly usher in the new sleek black idiot box that will undeniably give us a few more years of tv goodness.

Maybe idiot box isn't so appropriate anymore. It should be uhh, an idiot rectangular-thingy.

2009-07-24T21:23:00.001+08:00

Wtp there is something wrong with my blogger. The page where you type the posts is all messed up.

wu liao

2009-07-18T22:45:00.004+08:00

I'm being unproductive today. (Why do I have to feel so guilty?! D:)

Went scouting around for friends and old friends photos. Haven't seen them for like a few years only and they all look so different lah. Like wtp.

Went to watch harry potter with laohan, LT, and clara yesterday. Ended up at the cinema in century square because GV was thronging with desperate people clamouring for tickets. The cinema smells as delightful as the seats on SMRT bus no.190. I'm wondering whether they ever vacuum the carpets. The carpet (and maybe seats) readily absorbs sweat and what-not which then acts as a complimentary sensory addition to your movie-watching experience.

Ok maybe the cinema is not THAT bad. But I am absolutely sure that fabric covered seats on some SMRT buses have a bad case of BO. Or someone else's BO for that matter.

Some things are just as smelly as Physics. Pooh.

i got a new phone

2009-07-16T18:13:00.002+08:00

I got a new blue nokia e63 on Sunday! Really happy with it. The qwerty keyboard is really comfortable to use (at least for my small hands), and it has a decent battery life. And it has wifi! teehee. Only grouse I have is that it doesnt come with a usb cable.
----------------------------------------------------------
Been rather busy lately with all the smelly Performance Tasks, homework, and more homework. You get the idea. Going crazy with physics (dynamics), which is a huge pain, especially when I have completely forgotten all kinematics stuff from sec 2.

Extremely important for survival.
1) F=ma
2) Constant velocity means 0 net force. 0 acceleration.
3) To find acceleration, v-u/t (kinematics!)
4) Free fall motion, no air resistance. Stupid lah how many times are you going to fall inside a vacuum man.
5) Newton's three laws.

No wonder some people wish that Newton sat under a durian tree instead of an apple tree.

I feel nerd-ish and floaty now. Like cotton candy.

potter mania

2009-07-11T22:12:00.002+08:00

Ahh im in a state of potter mania.
I need to dig out all of my HP books and start reading all over again.
It seems that I have 2 copies of Harry Potter and the Socerer's stone, and 1 copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone, which are actually the same.

I think i bought 1, got 1 for a birthday, and got the 3rd for Christmas.

blogging

2009-07-10T20:16:00.003+08:00

Just realised I have been really lazy to blog recently. The problem is that there is nothing to blog about.

Except that i bought a new eraser (45 cents!) after losing my black eraser. heh.

I feel so happy looking at that lump of dense white rubber.

It says on the label that it is PVC free. So good right! Except that i don't really know what PVC is. It is apparently, also 'extra clean and smooth'.

I'm happy. (:

someone save me

2009-07-08T22:22:00.002+08:00

Someone save me.

I am absolutely speechless and I don't know what to feel right now.

I can't possible say it right? Terrible.

HELP.

I guess when you can't pry the doors open, you can pray it open.

Church bulletins with their inspirational quotes are great.

2009-07-07T18:05:00.002+08:00

haha last night was super funny!

MP didn't want me to go near her because apparently I have an 'oily fishhead'.

She wanted to say 'oily forehead', but you can't blame her since she was reading a recipe on curry fishheads.

LOL.

Actually feel kinda stupid now. Feel like i wasted a lot of time doing something that blahblahblahblah...

Stop poking in to my private thoughts, you big fishhead.

stupid world

2009-07-06T17:55:00.002+08:00

Does anyone realise that this is a stupid world?

When celebrities are still alive, everyone loves to spread gossip, talk this, talk that, make their lives miserable.

AND THEN, when they die, suddenly everyone gets a massive shock, and then they start saying how that celebrity was a great person and they will miss him? All the nice words and tributes only come out when that person is gone, which is kind of a waste of time and money, since that person is already floating around in heaven or goodness knows where and will thus never know those words of goodwill.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder eh?

Humans are such double faced creatures.

phones!

2009-07-05T16:46:00.004+08:00

Visited Softbank's website and they have a whole new slew of phones to keep me happy! And i found several that will help keep shermy-pong and pang-pang happy too.

You guessed it. Its all pink, and by pink, i mean undeniably girlishly pink. Even so, they aren't exactly pushovers in the specifications department.

Blogger won't load the picture. So heres the link

LOL

2009-07-01T22:33:00.003+08:00

nokia

2009-06-28T19:17:00.005+08:00

Does this look familiar?

I bet you have seen thousands on the mrt with it. I think it is nokia's most popular phone as of now. Its the nokia e71, and its better than your phone. For those who hate QWERTY keyboards, this is obviously not for you. Its rather sleek in real life and I WANT IT. Though I would have to settle for something cheaper and that comes in the form of the e63, which is on the plasticky side.

Anyway, forget about the e71. The e72 is even better.

sad

2009-06-28T17:54:00.002+08:00

School holidays are over.

Why?

I'm going to spend the next half of the year being half-dead, once again.

I think I'm in a state of self-denial.

Still hoping though. Don't you know?

Bummer.

2009-06-27T22:41:00.003+08:00

At the drivethrough.

PP (shouting at the black-box-receiver-thingo): Hello? Hello?
Mcperson: Yes?
PP: Can I have a double cheeseburger meal, madwings, and a uhh.. large flies?
Mcperson: Ok, what drink would you like with your meal?
PP: Eh eh, the double cheeseburger plain ah, plain.
Mcperson: What drink do you want?
PP: Coke.. no, yes coke. Double cheeseburger plain ah.
Mcperson: Yes, double cheeseburger plain.

PP drove on and proceeded to pay 22 dollars and blah cents worth of coins.

Madwings and flies, anyone?

funny world

2009-06-25T17:12:00.002+08:00

Goonheads on MSN love the personal message feature.

There are generally, 4 types of goonheads.
1) goonhead on msn decides to get creative with their personal messages and try to sound profound and einstein-like. With sadly, drastic results.
2) goonhead proclaiming their love for their significant other. So cheesy lah.
3) goonhead tries to sound emo and heartbroken.
4) goonhead has irritatingly long pm filled with strange symbols and words, and of course, the obligatory smiley face.

Of course, when there are goonheads, there are goodheads.
There are 2 types of goodheads.
1) goodhead quotes from the bible.
2) goodhead gives a real intellectually stimulating, brain-cell-massaging personal message that he/she thought of himself/herself.

Theres nothing to blog nowadays.

i love the universe

2009-06-24T11:32:00.002+08:00

Anyone ever watched The Universe on History Channel? Its super nice lah. And i just found out they are selling all the 3 seasons as DVD box sets. I especially like the episode on cosmic holes.

Black holes, white holes, and worm holes. Bet you never heard of the last 2.

batchmates

2009-06-22T22:09:00.002+08:00

Batch outings let you get to really know your batchmates.

Things I learnt today:
Wenqi - Most likely to get lost in a food court.
Grace pong - Most likely to steal your seat on the couch.
Yifeng - Most likely to spend an afternoon on a couch.
Liying- Most likely to be the next ambassador for the 'i-love-black' emo movement.
Deborah - Most likely to miss a batch outing.

Me? Most likely to wear cheapo watches to batch outings.

Humbug. Bugs don't hum, do they?

chinese

2009-06-20T21:48:00.002+08:00

Trust chinese dramas to come up with fancy names for their kung fu moves. Like 'dog-killing sabre something'. Typically, a male in long robes and hair yells a battle cry, charges forward, yells out the name of some cheesy kung fu move and then proceeds to fly up in the air and kick someone's head off. Someday they will have a 'watermelon bashing flying kick'. And I will laugh my head off.

I love coffee shops with their LCD TVs, yelling drunkards, yelling drink stall owners, grimy tables and good food.

Smile. (:

Remember to brush your teeth.

jean

2009-06-19T20:14:00.010+08:00

Jean came today for a sort of chiong homework session. We promised to be very productive, but ended with us thumping drum beats on my poor electone. And laughing over everything in sight. Meanwhile, I managed to twit, watch Britain's got talent funnies on youtube, and chomp on a bag of banana chips. We finished a grand total of 2 maths questions, 2 english questions, and a cheesy paragraph for my stupid SS pt.

I need a haircut.

twit twit

2009-06-18T21:09:00.007+08:00

Made some minor changes to sidebar, and added a twitter widget. Not that i twit a lot. Or that i have a lot of twits to read. I need more twits to read! So kind souls please get on twitter so i can read your nice old boring tweets on how you haven't done any holiday homework! Or how you liked the dead flies in your mum's soup! The former I don't believe of course.

Maybe twitter will just be a passing craze like the dear ole donut. Or maybe not. It might become a global obsession, and blogger and messenger and all the 'old-fashioned' ways of getting yourself heard will just get flattened and steamrollered over by the gigantic shadow of a tiny blue bird that just twits louder and louder. And of course, massively popular facebook is losing its face. facebook? what facebook?

Happy twitting, you big twit.

bemused. funny word huh.

techtech is the way to go

2009-06-17T21:57:00.002+08:00

I'm having a super geek tech discussion with pang pang!

And we are talking about iphone3gs, android powered htc magic, lg arena, and the latest samsung gadgetry.

If anyone bothered to monitor the samsungunpacked website, they released the samsung JET to the world on 15th june, i think. It packs a super fast processor, a WVGA screen with AMOLED technology, and its almost everything a spec conscious geek could wish for.

Samsung is also releasing Omnia II, Omnia pro, and Omnia lite (joining the Omnia and the Omnia HD family?). And for megapixel freaks, they will also be releasing Pixon 12, obviously equipped with 12 megapixels of memory eating camera goodness/badness, as the sequel to the Pixon. This makes it the first 12mp camera phone to be released, beating the SE Satio/Idou to it. LG has the crystal phone with S class interface and a unique slide-out glass touch keypad, which somewhat acts as a extension to its touchscreen.

Nokia has also released its new flagship multimedia monster n97, complete with a qwerty keyboard and a large touchscreen, joining the ranks of the palm pre, and the soon to be released apple iphone 3gs. And of course there is the old news of the sony ericsson promises of 12mp Satio (formerly known as Idou), Aino (I like!), and Yari.

So many phones this June/July ain't it?

And all you thought you wanted was an LG cookie.

Think again.

hey

2009-06-17T17:41:00.001+08:00

Too lazy to blog about it now. heh.

I need to catch up with my computer time.

Someone speaks without thinking.

Ridiculous dialogue with papa-pants No. 248
Me: Can you buy lunch?
PP (brainlessly): What lunch.

Ridiculous dialogue with papa-pants No.176
MP: Can you drive me to Tanah Merah?
PP (watching TV): Drive what.

Ridiculous dialogue with papa-pants No.124
MP: Help clear the table lah.
PP (picking teeth): What table.

And thats not the end of it. Theres always more where that came from.

And of course there was the time when we were at some airport and they identified you by your thumbprint. Theres this machine on the counter that reads your thumbprint and all you have to do is stick your thumb on it. But apparently NOOOOO, PP was not thinking again.

What happened:
Person who stamps passports gestures with thumb after checking his passport.
PP sticks out thumb in front of the person's face with gusto.
I could have died. From laughter.

I hope he doesn't do that again.

2009-06-12T12:14:00.002+08:00

I'm off to bangkok tomorrow! Are you excited?

So, in case you don't want to chalk up sky high phone bills, please do not call me, sms me, or buy me a pineapple. Don't think I will get anywhere near a computer in bangkok, so I have to make do with stealing papa-pants wifi phone. Which is a pain in the neck to use.

Mango rice here I come. :D

Hah. I bet you are envious.

Sulphuric acid is so cool. :D

2009-06-10T20:21:00.002+08:00

I am in a good mood again!

Anyway forgot to blog about my awesome once or twice a year meeting with jeanette chen the super-bean face! Met her at kembangan then went to snow city, got frozen, walked out with a nice souvenir of iced butts and then got fried in the scorching sun while walking back to MRT.

Watched Monsters VS Aliens in 3D which was freaking nice because it was super funny. We love BOB, the blue blob. Walked around plaza sing after that, toured daiso, climbed escalators, talked, walked, blahed, dreamt of food, and finally went home on a crowded MRT train, longing to feel our butts creaking on the cheapo blue plastic seats.

Following tradition, i whacked her on the head again. Accidentally lah.

Its good to keep in touch with primary school friends. (:
--------------------------------------

I am feeling excited for shermaine pong!

Shes going to pierce her ears tomorrow and I'm going there to be a nice person! For once.

Well, not really.

I love seeing people squirming in their seats.

muahaha.

Muahahahaha.

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I'm diabolical.

cip hours

2009-06-09T21:24:00.005+08:00

Whats with the CIP hours thing anyway.

Honestly, I do not enjoy doing CIP. I do not enjoy being dao-ed by passerbys on the street while getting donations or whatever. I do not enjoy doing community service. I do not enjoy doing things just for the sake of seeing a measly number on my report.

Call me an uncompassionate piece of blah, but I'm not perfect, and you aren't too. Really, if you do CIP because you have the passion for it, I respect you, because I have 0 patience and 0 passion for CIP.

I guess its necessary that someone does the community some good right? And since not many people will willingly do it, they make it compulsory for students to do it, which really defeats the supposedly good intentions of CIP.

Someone please tell me an activity that gets me CIP hours that does not involve flag-selling, donation collecting, or library book shelving. I guess that doesn't leave much to consider. They should have more CIP activities, since like half of Singapore's students can be found moping around shopping centres hoping that some nonexistent kind soul will approach them and donate like 50 bucks.

Anyone knows of any activities which do not involve any of the above-stated that will suit a lazy bum who is desperately in need of CIP hours?

'It will look good on my report'.

new apple iphone 3g S

2009-06-09T08:26:00.003+08:00

YAY. New apple iphone is called the iphone 3G S. Not sure what the S stands for.

Was supposed to stay up for the live updates on WWDC 2009 at 1am, which technically isn't on monday, but tuesday. But I went to sleep anyway. Iphone 3G S sports 16 or 32 GB, which now equals the ipod touch, muahahahaha. Supposedly twice as fast, has the new OS which enables cut and paste, video recording, some sort of universal search thing called spotlight blahblahblahblahblah.

The camera got upgraded to a 3 mp autofocus with macro mode, and can do recording, so thats kind of a nice improvement right?

Apparently they will still be selling the iphone 3g, at a cheaper price. But you still get the new OS with all those features, besides the video camera and the faster processor.

I feel sorry for all those people who bought their iphone 3Gs before this. haha.

apple iphone

2009-06-07T18:41:00.003+08:00

For fellow geeks. Just skip the top half.

Sorry folks another geek post today. Cos I feel like a cucumber.

Some sort of annual apple thing come monday. And everyones hopeful they will be announcing the new iphone. NEW IPHONE. To those who just bought their iphone, i say heh.

Well of course theres a possibility they are not announcing it tomorrow. MONDAY MONDAY COME COME COME.

Theres still another 8 days to 'unpacking' the new samsung. It better be a wower. Argh, I will be in bangkok, how to see? I'm hoping that the hotel has free wireless internet. I am excited excited EXCITED.

And on a sidenote, US just got their first taste of the palm pre! If you have no idea what that is, you are a coconut tree.
--------------------------------------------------
I love choco banana pocky. It cost me 3 bucks at the jap mart at tamp1. Tempted to buy kirin milk tea but then decided it was not worth it. Someone treat me to double chocolate dessert pocky! I bet you didn't know there are so many different types of pocky lah. Its because you are an ignorant twit.

Anyway, get to know your pocky. Click.

I am proud to say that I have tried a lot of pocky flavours. Nicest I have ever tried was the strawberry shortcake dessert pocky. And most of the different chocolate ones. Anyone knows where to get the mousse pocky?

Its slack day today. Found another awesome viva la vida video on youtube. And this time, its violins. Ohmytian, this makes me feel like learning how to play the violin.

Some people are just so pro.

Laohan agreed to go with me to buy a cheapo watch. :D

I WANT MY CHEAPO WATCH ):

Anyway today after prac parents picked me up went to eat at some chinese restaurant which had super nice Char Siew Baos. Then after that went to isetan supermart to buy RAMEN and stock up on miso. I think they were feeling rich today or something. I want to eat ramen now! And i mean now.

I am thinking of buying a nintendo ds lite now that NOWHERE is selling modded psps. What do you think? tagtagtag.

mrt manners

10 things to do on a MRT train:
1) Hang your wet smelly shirt on the handle rail.
2) Cut your toenails, fingernails.
3) Slurp up maggi noodles.
4) Occupy 3 seats at once.
5) Clean the floor with your butt and air your shoes at the same time.
6) Take the handles as monkey bars and swing like an orang utan.
7) Scratch your foul smelling armpits.
8) Speak colourful language loudly into your phone- a slew of hokkien vulgarities.
9) Start snoring and allowing your drooping head to go in all directions, including your neighbour's shoulder.
10) Shove your way through like a typical kiasu aunty carrying 1 bag of diapers, and another bag of maggi mee.

And many many more.

bloated

2009-06-02T19:58:00.002+08:00

Everytime we have batch lunch, I always end up bloated.

Ate at cafe cartel with batch, ate like 2 baskets of bread and like finished up 6 mini plastic cups of butter, which is freaking fattening. And then we had cheapo soup, nice spaghetti, and quite nice cake, which all came with the set lunch. Spent like 9.50 per person wtp.

Right now I'm using tiger balm liberally. And burping intermittently.

Anyway, in our usual aunty batch style, walked around plaza sing with liying hiccuping and wenqi trying to scare the hiccups out of her. We amused ourselves in TIMES for like 1 hr, laughed, talked, burped, and coughed. And then we walked out empty-handed.

Someone pass the tiger balm.

zilch

2009-06-01T21:54:00.003+08:00

I think I have freaking a lot of respect for some people, because they deserve it. And to think I didn't really look up to them before. Last time I was this big fat giant who just crushed everyone underneath my feet, because I thought they were insignificant.

Sometimes I wonder why everyone else grows while i just stay the same. Like my achievements seem so insignificant compared to what they have. Achievements. What achievements? Thinking back, it seems that i have wasted 2 and a half years doing nothing that I can consider of value. I did more things when I was younger, achieved more, dreamt more, thought more. Now I am just turning into this lump that sits around and drools over gadgets.

I want to be 6 again. I want to run, leap, jump, dance like there is nothing to worry about. No self-consciousness, no peer-pressure, no caring about what is happening out there, as long as it doesn't concern me. I want to be hardworking, caring, obedient again. I want to have ridiculous dreams and goals again. I want to grin like i did last time.

And then of course I always remind myself that I am wasting time doing nothing. But it doesn't work, does it? In the end, I am still in front of the computer screen, typing away about ridiculous things the moment i get the chance.

Sometimes I really wonder, what on earth I am doing, or going to do with my life. There is not always going to be a tomorrow.

I am less than what you think I am. I am afraid of your expectations of me.
