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

June Holidays (or more accurately, the adventures of Belinda and Crystal)

Ahh backlog of stuff. Okay I'll try to do it in chronological order:

• 30 May (Monday) Transcendance at HC with Crystal (and their auditorium looks creepily like a lecture theatre, same chairs and tables and everything), was quite shocked that they sold out like 3 shows of 1000+ capacity each. People were standing up because there weren't enough seats :O Saw Tey Guan (hahahaha last person I'd imagine I'd see at HC Dance tbh!) and spoke for a very short while with Sam before leaving. Had Sogurt in the morning, found the score for Koshkin's The Fall of Birds (!!!!!!!), ate at some densely HC populated place, sat around at Starbucks for 2 hours while they turned off their air con z.z
• Fell pretty sick over the next few days ):
• 5 June (Saturday) My dad called SPCA to rescue a kitten he had been feeding for the past week or so who dropped into the basement of the abandoned house she'd been playing at. Then we went to SPCA (where we played with cats a lot nicer than Nike :P) to rescue her and bring her home. We put her in my parents' bathroom, which is sort of Nike's territory. Nike, being the stupid cat that she is, freaked out about the puny little kitten and ran away from home z.z So now George is living in my room.
• 8 June (Tuesday) Dragged Crystal to Furama Hotel to have lunch where Bernice was having her job attachment as a waitress. Her boss was nice enough to give us a 2 for 1 offer :) Which was great because it was $35 per person before GST. After that we went to try on stuff in F21, which is better than I remember haha, especially from when it first appeared at VivoCity, blergh. I was too cheap to buy anything though (despite a few really really cute dresses) but I ended up buying The Avalanche by Sufjan Stevens (which I love love love love ♥) and a Segovia CD
• 9 June (Wednesday) PW consultation in the afternoon, went pretty much crappily. Went to buy cat litter and a larger litter box for George
• 10 June (Thursday) 4G class outing! ♥ Well we were supposed to have our "half yearly blood drinking ritual" (Crystal's lovely nickname for our sleepovers :) but thanks to having to rush for the deadline on Friday for PW and Abii getting sick from OCIP, we decided to move it to Tuesday/Wednesday instead. We were supposed to eat at the sushi buffet at first, but then it didn't open until 3p.m., so we decided to go Marina Square and try Seoul Garden, which was full, so we ended up at Billy Bombers. Got stressed out by PW so Crystal and I left after lunch. I did buy my ukulele though :)
• 11 June (Friday) Last minute PW meeting with Mr Koh. By last minute I mean I finished complied our new GPP at 2a.m. and the consultation was at 10.30a.m. And we got a good! Finally finally omg, it put me in such a relieved/happy state for the day. Proceeded to Crystal's house to bake cupcakes for my dad's birthday. Bought too much flour so we decided to make star-shaped scones as well, which were basically pretty much tasteless :3 I overwhipped the whipped cream as well and they turned into little curdles and I had to scoop them out of the basin by hand. Grossest thing ever z.z Modesto's for my dad's birthday, which was as good as ever. Although I couldn't finish my food, which was sort of odd because it seemed fine when I went with Brenda and Yiling
• 15 & 16 June (Tuesday/Wednesday) Sleepover! Went to Thomson Plaza with Crystal to buy guitar strings and then Brenda G arrived at my house, so she spent like half an hour talking to my grandma haha :3 When we came back we tried to lure Nike out from underneath my dad's bed, then Crystal found the single most disgusting worm on her leg. So we freaked and jumped on the bed while Brenda G, being the brave woman she is, trapped it underneath Crystal's water bottle. THEN THE STUPID WORM FOUND A WAY TO WORM ITS WORMY WAY OUT FROM UNDER THE BOTTLE ): We were only saved by my maid who bravely killed it. Spent the next few hours playing Mambo de Chocobo which Crystal arranged for a duet and found out exactly how bad my timing/rhythm is :3 Crystal also pro-ly deduced chords for beautiful Jason Mraz songs for ukulele and/or guitar. Then we Youtube-d for ages, mostly for Lady Gaga hahahah ALEJANDRO :3 Then Abii finally arrived and we proceeded to watch How I Met Your Mother! Dinner was hor fun and yi mee, and Crystal and I played Plane on guitar and sang while Abii tried to learn to play I'm Yours on the ukulele. I love having friends who are musically talented hahahah makes hearing them sing a real treat :) Then we tried to learn Alejandro hahahahahaha Abii was Gaga and Crystal and I were the prancing dancers. Bathed while watching My Girl and fell asleep while watching True Blood. (All the while laughing at Bill/Sam: Would you care to join me? I hear the water in Arkansas is... very hard (y) Woke up, ordered McD's delivery because it was raining while watching I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant (which is the best show ever btw) then Youtube-d more on stuff like Will It Blend? and a guy who did 200 different voices in like 10 minutes. Abii left for school, then George decided to have diarrohea and walk all around my room ): So we had to wash, mop and change bedsheets. After mugging while watching House, we went for a very incredibly late lunch at 4p.m. then Crystal left. I love sleepovers :3

I should really get to mugging
