the penguin dances.

I have given up.

Blogger is way too annoying to use, it's slow, and always logs me in on the wrong account, and doesn't do half the things I want it to.

I'm going back to the tried and tested method of livejournal :D But this time, it'll be completely public so you girls don't have to add me as a friend or anything to read my posts.

Don't forget to check it :D

Went to Changi Village for lunch with Dad today and the scenery during the drive was quite pretty, so I ended up taking some photos. Doesn't really look like Singapore :D

They're, of course, photoshopped. I edited the colours because the originals were too yellow.

Quite pretty, yes? :D

The "pansies" showing off their amazing dance skillz. <333

Gem's updating twice in a day?! *gasp*

But yeah. Just wanted to say. I do not get fans who go starry-eyed and srs-fangirly when their idols pose for soft porn photoshoots. I mean, what. Why do you want your idol doing such a thing. It's so cheap =/

...I suspect that inside, I am really a prude.

I can has durian mooncake. With pure genuine ~~leather~~ durian :D

Ever since Joanna left for Scotland, Anmi for America and Zixin for Taiwan (all in like, the same week, synchronized leaving much?), I have been bereft of friends. I should really go out and make more. Or find a job, despite just wanting to dump my lazy ass somewhere and kill my eyes with computer light.

Also, I think I might be falling out of the Japanese boyband fandom. Actually, who am I kidding. I am falling out of it. From now on, Geri and Pate will enjoy a change in scenery as I blabber on about the charms of Korean boys instead :D Isn't that exciting?

Brenguin confessed today that she sometimes finds me intimidating. That, despite loving the hell out of me (she didn't add that last bit; I inferred it from personal experience).

WHY IS I INTIMIDATING. Geri, Pate, have I ever intimidated you?

2009-09-08T20:15:00.000+08:00

Blogger is being retarded and not loading properly for me but anyway...

I was on bus 67 back home from school today when this old(er) man got on the bus and squeezed in beside me. And I mean SQUEEZED because he was literally pressing up against me and his leg was all down the length of my leg and his hip was nudging into mine and srsly it was so disturbing. I shifted a bit trying to get him to move away (and even pushed away his leg in one instance) but he only moved away a bit and then did his encroaching-into-personal-space thing again. So annoyed. In the end I got up and changed to a seat at the far back. Wtf was wrong with him.

....I got back home, opened the front door, and guess who I saw right before me?

Our One and Only Nerdy Boy. In his favourite armchair watching Discovery Channel with my mum.

It's currently 8:18pm and HE'S STILL HERE. AND THERE'S ANOTHER STUDENT HERE AS WELL.

Sometimes I feel like my house is a cafe or something >.>

I have a new favourite song. My friend sent it to me ages ago but I never got around to listening to it till NOW and asdhjl;c it's so amazing. And I don't even know who the members in this group are!

Anyway. LISTEN :DDD

Had a wonderful night out with the Poons picnic-matting on the beach and attempting to take fail pictures with all of us in them <3

Quote of the night would be:

Geri: The SM dildo was in between Pate's legs.

Love you girls.

"Virginia stands in the doorway, watching the shifting patterns as she would watch waves break on a beach. Yes, Clarissa will have loved a woman. Clarissa will have kissed a woman, only once. Clarissa will be bereaved, deeply lonely, but she will not die. She will be too much in love with life, with London. Virginia imagines someone else, yes, someone strong of body but frail-minded; someone with a touch of genius, of poetry, ground under by the wheels of the world, by war and government, by doctors; a someone who is, technically speaking, insane, because that person sees meaning everywhere, knows that trees are sentient and sparrows sing in Greek. Yes, someone like that. Clarissa, sane Clarissa - exultant, ordinary Clarissa - will go on, loving London, loving her life of ordinary pleasures, and someone else, a deranged poet, a visionary, will be the one to die."

"We live our lives, do whatever we do, and then we sleep - it's as simple and ordinary as that A few jump out of windows or drown themselves or take pills; more die by accident; and most of us, the vast majority, are slowly devoured by some disease or, if we're very fortunate, by time itself. There's just this for consolation: an hour here or there when our lives seem, against all odds and expectations, to burst open and give us everything we've ever imagined, though everyone but children (and perhaps even they) knows these hours will inevitably be followed by others, far darker and more difficult. Still, we cherish the city, the morning; we hope, more than anything, for more."

I confess that I am starting a love affair with Michael Cunningham's The Hours for being so gorgeous, so intricate, so woven, so original, and most of all, so touching and real.

It is with heartbreaking grief and remorse that I inform everyone that my Friday nights are now burned until February next year. I have transferred into the "accelerated" Advanced course in Japanese which will be taking place twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays and... asdhc;alsjch I'M SORRY BABIES IT'S JUST...MY FRIEND CAN'T DO THE MON/THURS CLASS AND I MOURN THE LOSS OF MY FRIDAY NIGHTS TOO.

That said, nothing much else has been happening in my life. I've met still-best-friend-Joanna a couple of times, and um. Well. You know that I thrive on being a boring person and so I shall not bore anyone any longer with my finger-biting boringness.

Oh, before I end...

Nothing really.

I was just trying to think of a punchline.

It failed.

2009-06-22T15:03:00.003+08:00

Would you go with me to somewhere only we know?

If you have a minute, why don't we go? Talk about it somewhere only we know?

......

If you can think of a place that only we know, lah. Singapore is small country. And don't be so inaccessible also, if not have to walk in from the bus stop and it's a bit too hot for that.

2009-06-12T12:38:00.001+08:00

Been running around for the past three days, was dead on feet when I got home yesterday night.
Still, it was great seeing Joanna again *____* or "oei" as I so lovingly call her. Nine months of separation and we still managed to endure each other for six hours, isn't that a mark of true friendship?

Looking forward to the sleepover tonight, though of course, I do not expect that I will get any sleep and will be dead on feet again tomorrow. Still, anything to actually get to spend some time with the very elusive Poon girls.

2009-06-10T22:04:00.001+08:00

Joanna is baccccccck.

I missed you, still-best-friend.

I also love my two penguins very muchly because they're just lovely girls <3

2009-06-06T11:42:00.002+08:00

Went dinnering and drinking with James, Josh, Brenguin, Joyguin and James' 3 friends yesterday night.

I think we're really good advocates of homosexuality.

I mean, with all that licking going on boy on boy and girl on girl.

Really.

I'm sure James found Josh's nose very smooth and, idk, silky.

And I still treasure Joyguin's remark: "This is the first time I've tasted human neck." LOLOL.

Love you guys very muchly ♥ though I am glad that I missed out on all the licking adventures.

Nerdy Boy needs to get out of my face and go find some friends to hang out with instead of being at my house EVERY DAY.

2009-05-31T23:39:00.002+08:00

wtf are classes extended for 1 hour?
Another week of torturous 2hr 45min classes is going to keel me.
Three days out of five, I can't have a proper lunch D:

2009-05-30T12:00:00.005+08:00

Went out last night with uni friends for a belated birthday celebration (at Japanese restaurant again. It was not my decision, but rather that of thoughtful friends, whose thought process went something like "Gem likes Japanese stuff and so she'd like Japanese food!" Well, can't fault their reasoning).

After the dinner, we went for dessert, but had to walk along Clarke Quay to get to the place, so we stopped for lots of pictures along the way. Josh picked me up and threw me onto this platform just above the Singapore River and it was terrifying at first because it was extremely easy to drop into the river from there. He also made Bren balance on this very.... precarious looking thing and he almost pushed her over. I think we should all band together and push Josh in sometime instead, since he obviously has such a water fetish.

They also made me do some sort of sexy pose against two walls and I think it was sort of funny really. They made Paul a "male model" and we were supposed to look seductive but I don't think Paul could look seductive to save his life. Well, except to his future girlfriend, maybe? There's still hope, Paul :D

All in all it was lovely. I love my Brenguin and everyone for coming to celebrate with me <3 and for the lovely birthday card with its boring messages. Be creative, people. Everyone knows that you wish me a "happy birthday" and a "great year". Or in Paul's case, "love joy peace and happiness"!

Penguin, yes

Hello, people.

I am tired of Geri and Pate's constant nagging about how they're too lazy to log into lj, how lj is working too slowly for them, etc. so I decided to be uncool and go with blogger.

Also, please don't ask me again why I chose penguin and not panda.

Since when did I become a panda?!

In me news: my dad has bought a car because his company requires him to. It's a blue Mazda. If I learn how to drive in the near future, I can borrow it when he's not using it and ferry us around. Doesn't that sound brilliant?

Enjoy this blog. I hope to install a tagboard eventually so that you can chat to your hearts' content without omg!logging in or omg!slowconnection or omg!whylj.

See, this is proof of my thoughtfulness towards the Poon girls.

Moving over

First post. Hello, real world.
