Pretty things make me happy

Awesome facts

1) Otters sleep holding hands :3

2) Carrots were white in colour 300 years ago, the Dutch selectively bred them to be orange as a tribute to the House of Orange

It's late

I was crapping all over the place during Guitar to try to cheer Joy up. I may or may not have succeeded (I think I did though, at least a little bit), but at least I amused myself.

M: Why are you sniggering?

B: (to Joy) I think Marken just hasn't seen me happy yet

in response to Ji Heng suanning Tey Guan in front of the entire CCA

I remember trying to find common interests between me and Joy.

B: Do you like Christian Bale? Do you like --

J: No and I don't like him naked either

B: I wasn't going to ask you if you like a clothed Bale better than a naked Bale, I was going to move on to Jake Gyllenhaal

At least we found our common love -- Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I have decided that from now on, I'll just eat bananas, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and drink beer. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be happy forever. But Joy told me that I won't be beautiful anymore if I grow fat :3 Stupid fat-cist :P

Other than crapping with Joy, the only other high point of my day was PW. PW! So yeah, not the greatest of days ever.

Before GP

Today before GP we were playing hangman and I put down _ _ _ _ _ / VAN / _ E _ _ _ E (footballer, Dutch) and I was quite sad that no one seemed to be able to guess who my favourite footballer was. Then Marken said "Van Persie?" Which was amazing because he doesn't even watch football. Apparently it's because he reads newspapers and Robin scores... sometimes (he just had to rub in the fact that RVP only scores sporadically, but still, the main point is that someone who doesn't watch football still knows RVP! :)

Can't be bothered to type in full paragraphs anymore:

• I don't remember why but I said something about imagining Ravins naked, there was this pause, then Marken said "Eww" in a mildly disturbed voice then Ahmed agreed haha
• Spent most of GP talking to Ahmed about random stuff like people getting drunk in Tokyo (plus the various merits of drinking vodka) and attempts to buy R21 movie tickets. Somehow Carnegie Mellon was mentioned too.
• Met Crystal at the last minute to have dinner at AMK Hub. Was nice catching up with her :) So so so broke now though urgh.
• Ended off CTs with 2 As and 3 Bs. The only B I'm unhappy with is Physics, it was mildly surprising to get B for GP and ELL. So overall I guess I'm okay with my marks.
• I think my CT is pissed off with me because I forged my parents' signature right in front of him. Oops. But I told my dad and he just found it highly amusing (shrugs) My dad's opinion matters more to me

Picturesssssss

I'm insanely proud of both these pictures, both taken by me but not with my own camera (because I don't have one haha)

I have decided I should attempt to actually talk about something someone would actually care about instead of being incredibly self-centred (I mean, I really do basically treat this as my diary, minus any personal thoughts/opinions) or posting pictures of nice-looking people :) Although those two are kind of the polar opposites of each other (yes obviously I think sharing pictures of nice-looking people is a kind thing to do)

Today was sort of odd.

(It's been so long since I've said something note-worthy on this blog that has more than a 0.0005% chance someone might talk about in real life that I feel quite self-conscious just even considering saying (typing?) this. But I think it will be a good exercise.)

First I found out that my (completely and utterly made-up) scandal is a lot more well-known than I think it is. It's hard not to be aloof about it when somebody brings it up because there honestly isn't anything going on despite the fact that I can kind of understand why people might think this way.

I was confident that the "oh boys and girls can't just be friends" thing wouldn't apply to us but apparently, I'm wrong. I think it's because I get raunchier the closer I get to someone. Like after I talk about porn, even statements that were intended to be innocuous (for example, "Eh are you very hot?" referring to the temperature) could be taken to mean something dirtier, even if I can't think of anyone who would be so forward.

I probably shouldn't assume a male friend will react the same way to my vaguely dirty/outrightly dirty comments the same way I expect my female friends to (sigh) If I try to cut out all the sexual comments from my conversations then I don't really have very much else to say.

I don't know for sure, but in my opinion becoming dirtier is better than becoming meaner with increasing familiarity. Joy says I at least seem to be capable of comprehension of someone else's feelings, even if I don't particularly care for them. I like to think I care more about someone the closer I become to them.

Then someone I didn't (and still don't) know who happened to sit in the seat next to mine at the computer lab called me pretty while I was hunched up and being all >:( over a computer typing out interview questions right before PW. I think the novelty of being found to be attractive by someone has worn off already. Maybe because it's never the person I want to hear say that saying that.

Let's not even add Math into the equation. But I didn't even stay sad about Math for very long, maybe 20 minutes. I think I'm just not cut out to be sad. Unless I'm feeling guilty, then that feeling persists for-fucking-ever (infixes are for emphasis)

But forever is roughly a day in my world. Maybe I should say the intensity of the guilt is shocking instead, that's more accurate.

I guess there really isn't a point to this post. I just need to ramble on a bit, save Crystal from the weird introspection and it's not really something I can talk to Joy about anyway (even if she's the best person to get all oddly reflective with).

More gaying during the June holidays :)

Stayed at Hard Rock Hotel for 3 days during the last week of the holidays because we wanted to go to Universal Studios but it was solidly sold out. So we didn't do very much there. My routine was: wake up, eat, eat more, watch HIMYM, eat dinner, drink Irish beer/Irish whiskey/wine, attempt to study, fail at studying, watch football, sleep. Repeat. The hotel was so so so pretty though, and our level had this gigantic picture of Pete Townshend, which was pretty cool.

Physics, ELL and GP CTs were atrocious. I would be surprised if I pass any of those three. I am so so disappointed with Math. ): Chem was fine, I'm mildly surprised that people made it out to be so difficult, because I honestly thought it was fine.

Watched Eclipse with Abii, Brenda and Crystal right after Physics CT. Crystal and Abii thought Yiling was going to come so they bought 5 tickets, so we had one spare seat for our bags z.z Such a bad movie omg I think I listened to maybe 50% of the dialogue, I was either talking to Crystal about gravitation v circular motion or just generally spacing out. Xavier Samuel is gorgeous though x.x Saw Debbie having dinner at Fish & Co hahahaha, then went to talk at McDonalds while Crystal ate an ice-cream :3

After Guitar exco meeting on Friday, went to Debbie's house to sleepover and watch Netherlands v Brazil (2-1, FUCK YEAH! ♥). Almost didn't happen because an hour before we were supposed to meet, Crystal smsed me: "I'm damn tired leh, I don't want to go anymore" because she was doing the Alejandro dance the entire day z.z But she managed to drag herself out of her house despite the fact that someone stole Ghost ): Had dinner at AMK Hub (and then coffee at Coffee Bean, I cannot understand why people like chai lattes, they're damn gross D: ) then magically made our way to Debbie's without getting lost.

Crystal played Plane on Debbie's piano, which sounded amazing. Debbie stunned us with her voice too, which was as loud as her louder than average piano. I think Debbie's grandfather was quite happy about Crystal playing the piano :3 After trying the Alejandro dance, we settled down to watch Netherlands v Brazil. Brazil damn dirty, so many fouls given. Heh heh ;) Celebrated after the match by posting statues on fb going "YOU AIN'T MUCH IF YOU AIN'T DTUCH" and generally being creepers. Finally revived letsdrinkblood-everyday then settled down in bed at around 3a.m.

Debbie fell asleep the first, Crystal nodded off around 4.30a.m. so Abs and I were the only ones left talking until 5.30a.m. :) We planned to wake up at 7a.m. because Debbie needed to leave the house at 8a.m. for Choir (VJ Choir is damn hiong z.z) but we were all "mhm.... yeah we're up... mhm" at 7.55a.m., heh. So Debbie left first, leaving us to wash up and get out of her house. We tried to drag ourselves out of bed and we actually managed to get up and brush our teeth but we fell back asleep and woke up at 10a.m. hahahahha felt kind of like a mini walk of shame

Took a bus back to Upper Thomson to eat my favourite fried fish mee then went our separate ways to go home and crash. I very very nearly fell asleep at the dinner table because I was trying not to screw up my sleep schedule by attempting to stave off sleep until 10p.m. but I got super grumpy and basically insulted the vet for insinuating that we were poor kitten owners by not feeding George the "kitten food that she needs". Sorry I can't do that, she has diarrohea if I do, so screw you and your lousy Sydney degree.

It was useless to keep my "normal" sleep schedule because of the World Cup semi-finals. Crystal and I had this wonderful routine: sleep at 8p.m., call each other at 2a.m., watch the match while chatting on MSN, call each other after the match to discuss the match/arrange call times for that morning then go back to bed until 6a.m. :) YAY ORANJE GOT THROUGH TO THE FINALS!! I was really really really hoping for a Germany v Netherlands finals (rivalries are the best) but stupid Paul and his stupidly accurate predictions. I am going to have octopus paella someday soon >:( So now Oranje has to beat Spain GO DUTCHIES! RVP IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO SCORE. I want Germany to win 3rd place, I don't like Uruguay. And they deserve it anyway, they've been really good :3
