Talent and Creativity?? Poo.

29 August 2007

TALENT SHOW :

*drum roll*

Now, I'm going to show you my talent at art and my brilliant creativity.

Be prepared to drop your mouth open with awe, and to wait for a fly to zoom straight into your mouth.

No lah. Just kidding.



Pretty or not??

Of course it's pretty. I don't care what you say.

Just a bit dirty and deformed at some places, but still nice nevertheless.

Mwaahaha.

Just kidding.

Don't mind me.

*

Got more news on B. My sister said that one of his hind-leg bones might be broken. I don't know.

I can't imagine a bone-break. I've never broken a bone before. And I don't think I'd ever want that experience. Well, Jane's mum said that B's bone can be seen after the accident. So the wound must be very deep and big. Deep enough for you to see the bone. *shudders* And both of his hind legs are kind of seriously wounded (What kind of?? So serious still say kind of) And around it's head, neck, tails and so on, there are little patches of skin without hair.

Eek.

Had been thinking a lot about accidents. Imagining I was the dog. Like you were so innocently crossing a road and a car just happened to hit you. We're twice the size of dogs, so it must be even worse. Actually no. A dog walks on all fours, and they're not as tall as we are. So they will be hit right on the head and so on. Being hit on the head must be worse right? If it was a human, and a normal sized car, we'd be hit on the knees or thighs first right?? Then we'd fell backwards or forwards.

Ouch.

Anyway my sister went to the vet with Jane to see B. At first Jane's mum and Jane tried to call the veterinarian straight but apparently he was out. So they called the SPCA people instead.

My sister said she felt terrible and furious because the SPCA people was anything but gentle to B. B was HURT, for God's sake. From what my sister said, the person pulled B onto the Doggie Ambulance, instead of carrying him gently.

Damn him.

Actually I don't know whether it was a guy or a girl. But I think it's a guy. Only guys do things like that. Hmm.

Okay lah. Not really. But I don't think girls like to do this kind of job, looking after wounded doggies, doggie wounds, whatever.

NOT ME.

I know I'm a ninny.

*

B has been VERY brave!!

He had been in an accident, his hind legs were bleeding a lot, it must be really painful, and still he managed to walk from the place of the accident back to our house. To humans, and to any animal, except maybe ants or those mini things, the place of the incident is very near to our house, and not hard to reach. Walk straight a head for like 5 meters or so, turn right, maybe 10 meters or something straight, and there's our mini-back gate. But maybe B didn't come back from that way, he might have to walk all the way around through the big gate. But it isn't too far either. But for a HURT dog, it's very far. It must be really hard to walk with both hind-legs injured, but still he managed to reach our home.

=(

B's Accident.

28 August 2007

Accident!!

Poor B.

After I bathed and had lunch and stuff, I went to Jane's house with my maid to wait for the teacher who sends me to school. And our dog (did I for one moment made you think that B was a human??), let's call him B here, since I'm not entirely sure of the spelling of his name, ran out to wait with us. He has went with us before before this. Like all dogs, he peed and sniffed at this and that, barked with some other dogs. Suddenly, he saw a person cycling opposite Jane's house, and he ran across the road to chase the person. Before this, sometimes there were people walking pass opposite Jane's house too, but B never ran across the road before. But today, he did. Before he even reached the other side, he was hit by a car. *shivers*

It was horrible. But B's not dead, thank God. Thank, thank, thank God. I saw the car hit him, and he's like rolling and rolling with the car wheels. It was....This was the first time I'd ever witnessed an accident. All I ever saw was the "afters". Those broke-down, dented cars. Sometimes even a human lying in the middle of the road, hurt. But this, although B's an animal, it's pretty much the same. A human being knocked over must be even worse than animals.

I saw B running across the road and I was like, B, B, come back!! But at that time the car came. I screamed so loud when the car hit him. I was so shocked. B howled and whined until the car finally stopped. It must be so painful. I was so shocked I didn't dare go look.

I was a ninny...kind of. (What?? A ninny is a ninny. No kind ofs.) I can't even go and look at our own dog, see how he is. See whether he's okay. I didn't dare walk forward. Our maid was there too, and at first she didn't go and look. But after a while we both walk towards the car, but not too near. Lots of neighbours also came out and look. Whether it's my scream or it's because of the howls of the dog, I have no idea. Should be the dog. And she came running down too. We all watched the uncle who hit B attempting to pull B out from under his car. But B refused to come out, even when my maid -who B must be very fond of, since she's the one who always feeds him- called him, he wouldn't come out.

And then the teacher came. And I don't know what happened next. But from what I've heard, my cousin came and tried to call B to come out from under the car, but he failed too. So in the end, I think he asked some of his fellow workers to help lift the car up, and then B was sent to the vet. By whom I don't know. Gosh. It was horrible. I reached school and tried to find my mum to tell her the news but she wasn't there. So I asked her teacher friends to pass her the news. Then I went to find my sister. *sigh* Felt so worried. And was scared that I was the one to blame because I never caught the dog and led him back to our house compounds.

Not a good day. Not really. After I came home, I asked my sister where B was, and she said at the vet. So he must be fine. Then I asked is he OK?? And she said she doesn't want to go into details, so it must be pretty bad. I don't think I want to know now. =( Hope he's fine. Hope he's ok. Even though I've never liked him too much, since he always bite our shoes, always jump up at us with his dirty paws, trying to bite stuff, dragging rubbish from everywhere, pulling out flowers...

I hope he will be fine.

-----Subject changed-----

My mum baked some Blueberry Mexico Buns today. Not bad. And she baked some Cinnamon Rolls too. It's not too nice because she put too few sugar, and because halfway through baking the bread, the electric was cut. So she cooked it with gas. Not the oven.



Three of the blueberry buns. =)

Look appealing or not??

Not really.

But tastes nice though.

School Stress

27 August 2007

School reopened today. Felt so heavy. Felt so miserable. Don't feel like going back to school at all. I miss the holidays. I want more of the holidays. Every day I was like, watching movies, reading novels, playing computer games, eating, sleeping, pooping, peeing ...

In other words, wasting time, but, enjoying it.

Now I'm back to our crappy school. Yay me. First day back, and SO much homework already.



Ugly photo.

Just to show you (despite the smile) how school kills one.

Look at my oily face.

Look at my fucking eye bags and panda eyes.

Look at how short my hair is!! Thanks to school.

Look at how big my nose is. I HATE!!

(Okay lah. Last one doesn't have anything to do with school, I know)

Choco Delights

24 August 2007

My parents came back from Langkawi yesterday.

They bought a lot of chocolates and wine/beer with them!!! =) Open my fridge and first thing you'll see are mountains of chocolates.

There's Richfields Kiwi Chocolate, two Cadbury's White Chocolates, at least five or six packets of Hershey's Kisses, a big box of Hershey's Pot of Gold, a packet of Hershey's Nuggets, Six triangle/piramid "bars" of Toblerone Chocolates, two boxes of Guylian Chocolates (not bought from Langkawi though), and three big boxes of Ferrero Rocher.

It's heaven!! Although I can't really eat chocolates, I'll get a lot of pimples and sore throat!! Oh well.



You know you want it.

=P



My hair is very short. Yucks.

Goody-goody Girl

21 August 2007

Watched Ratatouille today.

Someone explain why his name is so hard to spell??

Watched the movie with Lee Mei. First time watching a movie with her!! =)

Saw Charmaine there!! Hee. And lots of E2C people...

And saw the person I saw last time when I was at Gurney again. Let's call her K. Why is it that every time I went there she's there?? (Okay. That's exaggerated. Not every time, but for the past two times.) That's so unlucky. Not that I'd even know her. Yeah, I know her, but not exactly know. Just know she's a Form 1, know that she's someone from ___.

I'm so goody-goody!! I bought a book.

Heee. I'm a good girl!

Right.

I'm a Gossip Girl. Ha ha.

16 August 2007

So, I heard some snippets of gossips about ... let's call her Y here. I don't even know that X & W know Y. Anyway. According to X & W, Y is a damn horny bitch who ... whatever, X & W hate her. So do I. Kind of. Not that I really know her, but I still dislike her anyway. Crazy, emo girl. Who knows. She might commit suicide one day.

I heard she did try to kill herself once.

*

Actually I made that up. True gossipers make up fake stories. But maybe it's true, you never know.

Heeh!

And X & W think that she's very ugly.

Yay!!

Ok lah. I'm not so sui yet. I'm sure Y still has her own un-ugly parts.

The most shocking news is that ... I don't believe it ...

X says apparently W has a crush on Y??? I don't believe it. That's impossible with a capital I. No way.

Oi.

W is not a lesbian ok.

She's my faithful, loyal, and caring wife!!

=P

Ok lah. She IS my "wife", but she's not faithful, she's not loyal, and she's definitely not caring. One day I'm going to divorce her.

Hahaha.

Then she can go express her love to stupid Y.

Then they'll live happily after.

Poo. Stupid fairy tale endings. They never happen.

*

Anyway. I'm unlucky enough to see Y so many times today. Bad luck. There must be an unmade rule :

When you gossip about someone, you'll keep seeing that someone, and then you'll feel guilty.

Not that I actually feel guilty gossiping about her.

Oh crap. I'm turning into one of those much-hated girls who gossip a lot. Probably because I read Gossip Girl too much.

Heehee.

No matter. I still love Gossip Girl. =)

*

Anyway, stupid Buffalo (she's a teacher in case you don't know) declared that her leg muscles, whatever's wrong with them, haven't recovered yet, so she wanted us to go to some other class to study, again, because, like she said, her leg muscles couldn't support her all the way to our class at the fourth floor.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

I hope her leg muscles will never recover, and thus she'll resign her job as a teacher, and then we'll live happily ever after without her big ass.

I really wish this particular fairy tale ending will happen.

*

AND!!

I think SHE knows I'm going to chop her head off or cut her body into pieces, so she's trying to hide.

Hah.

Hide all you want. I'll still find you, and you'll still die.

Parents' Wedding Anniversary

11 August 2007

After my sixth aunt arrived, we wasted time until it was time to go to Cititel.

I was wondering if I was dressed too casually. Pink Fila shirt and an almost-white pants. My sister, too, in a light green long sleeved shirt and dark green pants. My little cousins were all wearing dresses lor.

Not that I care. Looking SO casual can only make me get more attention.

=P

Ha ha.

Not exactly.

My parents received lots of presents!! Ooh.

A bouquet of gorgeous flowers (pretty, but useless), a bottle of German wine (yum!!), a basket of flowers with cute teddies (pretty, but useless), and a huge family photo.

Which means I'm in it.

AHHH!!

I look so pretty in the picture.

NOT.

Personally, I think that photo sucks a HELL lot. Because I wasn't smiling : I couldn't. I can still remember, that time, because my ear was just pierced not long ago, and it hurts a lot, so I couldn't smile. I just couldn't. So I looked totally weird, like I'm trying to smile, but I couldn't squeeze a smile out, not even a tiny one.

And my mum's face was too white. Either she put on too much make up, or there's something wrong with the printing, or the Photoshop malfunctioned when my brother was editing the photo. Or his skills were just plain bad.

My father wasn't smiling.

My second brother was acting cool.

My eldest brother looks too happy in contrast to all of us.

My sister's smile was awkward, and she was way too stiff.

And me.

All in all, it's the ugliest family photo I've ever seen in my whole life. Even the one when we took when we were younger was so much nicer lor!! Even though my sister and I were wearing our PJs (oh my), my brothers were fading into the background because it was too dark, my father's hair was messy, and I don't know about my mum.

I'll show you the recent one.

Wait.

On second thought, I won't. Because it's so ugly!! Hm. I'll try editing it. It might look better.

*

I hate the food!!

It's not that it's not nice, I just don't like Chinese food that much.

I just love Western food so much!! It just sounds so ... appealing to me.

Appetizer. Soup. Main course. Tea/coffee. Yummy dessert.

*

We were celebrating my grandmother's birthday, too, with my parents' wedding anniversary in a private room, and at that moment, there was another celebration outside!!

Some graduation thing, I suppose. They were singing some kind of song, and I have to say, they suck. Out of tune. Eew.

Music to my ears. Not.

After the celebrations, before we go home, we took some pictures with Celine. She's going back to Singapore early in the morning, 5.30 a.m. I think. So we don't have the chance to see her anymore unless if we do go to Singapore during the end-of-the-year holidays. I hope the trip is a success!! I can't wait. =)

We're running, climbing...

11 August 2007

Cross-country run today.

Weee!!

We're running, climbing, to get to the places, to be all that we can be...

- Breaking Free ~ Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens

Quite fun.

Better than being on duty with all the damned mosquitoes. I'm making sure I'll join the cross-country (not exactly country, is it?) run every year to get out of duty-ing.

Ran with Jun Fang and Lee Mei. Damn funny lor!

=)

Heehee.

At one point Lee Mei's face got SO pale!! Scary. She looked like she's about to faint. Then later, her face became SO red!! Scary. She still looked like she's about to faint.

Damn it.

They're spoiling this whole thing for me. I wish they'd get a life and kill themselves.

Then I'll live happily ever after without them.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

6 August 2007

I finished the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, finally!!

In a day.

It's a nice book, really.

I almost cried when ...

I don't care if you haven't read the book yet.

I almost cried when Snape died!! So touching. And when he said he protected Harry all these years because he's still in love with his mother ...

Ahh!!

4 August 2007

I seem to be updating my blog daily recently. I used to update it like, once in two or three days. Its become a more important part of my life, somehow. Maybe its because I can't confide in anyone, not that I'm actually confiding things in here. Or maybe I'm just trying to remember the things that happened.

Today was woke up by my sister. I was like, why are you waking me up you fool?? Today's Saturday ok??

I know it's a weird activity to have, for a Traffic Wardens group. We're climbing a HILL!! Very weird right. Maybe we're supposed to signal to the monkeys and ask them to stop, let us cross, then finally they can cross their roads or climb the trees. Anything to get out of our way. Maybe we have to teach the monkey safety rules.

It's quite fun, really. But Wei's stamina is damn bad lor!! Climbed for like, a short distance and her face is SO pale, like a corpse. We reached our destination quite soon, then a few of us who are, um, more ADVENTUROUS and ... SPORTY decided to climb to another higher station. Most of the Form 1s went up. Hrrmph. Who knew they are such adventurous people.

Of course Wei stayed where she was. She might faint if she climb any higher.

We also reached the station (no.5) very soon. Huh. I remember when I was younger, my sister, Ee Leng and I went and climb the same hill, and we were puffing and huffing so much, and wondering when, oh when will we finally reach the stupid station no.5. Our staminas must be damn bad when we were young.

Now we can reach the station within 15 minutes, I think, and not a bit tired, except for the part where we have to climb the stupid stairs. Poo.

Hmm. Maybe the hill changed "shapes". Maybe they're not quite so steep anymore, and much easier to climb.

Went back to school after that, and I went to Chinese Orchestra practice *yawn*.

Went to Little Cottage 2 which is very near my school for lunch after that.

Yum.

Then we had our hair cut. Oh yuck.

YUCK.
