Bumble Bee

28 September 2008

I fucking STEPPED on a bee on Thursday morning.

There are always many irritating bees buzzing around the lights early in the morning. And for some strange reason no one understands, they always flop onto the floor after that, dead. Bah, such an uncool, unromantic way to end one's life. Pooo.

Anyway, lucky me, just as I was walking groggily and dazedly with two pieces of bread on my hand, on my way to the toaster, I stepped on the stupid bee. And suddenly I felt pain, excruciating pain.

Okay, that was a tiny bit exaggerated. I haven't exactly ... uh, had bone-breaking or skull-cracking experiences yet. I wouldn't know what excruciating pain means.

And now, the bottom of my foot where the bee stung me is swollen, and itchy as hell. Not to mention painful. Ahhh. *scratches foot* I can't even walk properly. It feels like I'm stepping on a hard, yet soft piece of something like ... clay. It feels queer. And ticklish.



There, the tiny greenish-blackish part was exactly where the bee stung me. Stupid bee. And the ... poison or whatever it is spread to other parts of my poor foot, too. WTF. Like one part isn't enough?!

For the first two nights I kept waking up in the early hours of morning because it was so fucking itchy. And I'd gave it a few good scratches, and therefore it turned from itchy to itchy AND painful. Not nice. Not nice at all.



I dabbed this ... ointment, thing, on the ... err, "wound". It felt so nice! All tingly and cool. Heeee. Damn. I sound like a drunk who downed a whole bottle of bubbly champagne. Actually, I AM feeling sort of bubbly and giggly right now.

Oh. And ... err, I might have accidentally finish flipping the book Twilight. Oops. So much for not reading it until after PMR. Pahhh.



It's very nice!! I don't know what is it about the book, but it's exactly like a magnet to me. It is indeed very compelling, as mentioned behind the book, and it REALLY is a story that will keep with you long after you have turned the final page.

I want to read the other books!

And I have made up my mind to buy the books. Just ... not this year.

I almost feel like crying right now. I want!!!

I like Edward, Alice and Carlisle! =) And of course, Bella. Aww, Edward and Bella are so sweet. So very, very sweet. And funny. I feel like flipping through the book again and again. To be honest, I already flipped through the book on Friday afternoon. Then I read it properly on Saturday night.

I'll probably "flip through" it again, when I'm sick of studying. Which, most probably, is every single moment. I must try to imagine how Edward Cullen actually looks like, the way he is described in the book. Robert Pattinson is undoubtedly hot, but the way Stephenie Meyer described him ... there is just something, something that made him, a character from a book, sound so irresistible.

I can't wait for the movie! Still a long time to go though. Never mind. I'm naturally very patient. Haha. Right.

Yay! In a wink of an eye, 19 days, PMR will be over for GOOD! Yippee!



Predictably, I took this photo while I was studying. My nose sucks! And my top lip disappeared again. Sigh.

Oh, by the way, I do hate copycats.

Silence of the Lambs Lizards

25 September 2008

Or should I say, daymare?

I had obviously been watching and thinking too much of Dr. Lecter in the Silence of the Lambs.

*shudders*

He's so freaky you know?!? He eats people. He bites people's ears and noses, and blood will spurt everywhere, especially all over his face. He eats people's hearts, fry their brains for dinner ... well, you get the picture.

And he's a psycho. AND he has disgustingly penetrating eyes. *gulps*

But he's extremely clever. That's why he's still alive, only locked up in a cell. If it was me, I'd kill him straightaway. Or I'd ... fling myself off the cliff. Anything than staying in a world with someone like him.

Actually, I have no doubt there IS someone like him in the world. Oh boy.

Anyway, my dream was totally horrible. I had no idea why I didn't just wake up, and kept on sleeping. It was such a relief when I opened my eyes and saw my familiar, peaceful bedroom and the warm, pleasant (well, not exactly pleasant but still pleasant after the dark, dark nights in the dream) evening sunlight outside. Whew.

But the problem is, in the dream I lived in the same bedroom. Actually, that's not exactly true, but I'm pretty sure that my wallpapered piece of wall was there. In the dream. Yikes.

I was in a huge .....

On second thought, it might be better if I don't think about it. I might have to go through the exact same dream tonight. And the day after. Or for the rest of my life. Like the screaming of the lambs in Clarice's dreams.

Ahhhh, shush.

I'm freaking out. Damn, I want someone to sleep with. It'll make me feel a lot safer, a lot more secure. Awww. Who wants to be my sleep mate?? =P

******************

PMR in 18 days.

Damn, I'm squandering precious time.

Oh, my sister managed to borrow Twilight for me!! Thank you, Wen Huey!! =D

The cover is so nice, but spoiled because she stuck her name on top of the book, complete with two smilies. Blah. LOL. Haahahaha. I promised myself (sort of) that I won't flip through a single page until after PMR but that promise will probably be broken. PROBABLY.

I also borrowed two books from the library! A Meg Cabot book, and Shopaholic and Sister, which I have borrowed before. I'm going to buy the book!! I don't care if I'm saving money or not. I'll buy it .... eventually. It's too nice!! Hilarious.

And the pink sandal on the front cover is too pretty.

I, uh, neglected a whole day of studying, and finished the book within half a day.

THAT, is something I will never understand. I can get so engrossed and lose myself completely in a storybook with no pictures and no colours. Why can't I do the same for History textbooks? They ARE storybooks too! Sort of. Stories of the olden days, which are pretty ... uh, interesting too. Sometimes. And the history textbooks have pictures and colours!

I use up to one week, two weeks, or my whole life to finally remember the contents of the stupid History textbook. And I can remember the contents of a storybook in a day.

*sigh*

Oh, and my brother left a book for me to read, The Alchemist, if I'm not wrong.

There are suddenly so many books for me to read! I do think it's a tad unfair as the PMR is imminent, and I'll have to force myself to enter and bury myself in the world of numbers, Sultan with the same names, Chinese translations and whatnots. Can anyone spell B-O-R-I-N-G??!

But I'm smiling a lot these days. I always have these visions of the post-PMR days ... oh, how glorious, how splendid, how BRILLIANT!! I always smile like a maniac whenever I think about it. Think. At least a month of free, indolent time at school. How perfect is that? Sloth, that's me!

OK, I should stop dreaming.

OH FUCK HOW COULD I FORGET?!!

There is a fucking mini lizard in my room. A LIZARD!!!!! *screams* I hate lizards. I FUCKING HATE LIZARDS. What do you call it? Lizard phobia? AHHH. Bad memories. BAD MEMORIES. *grimace* I tell you, my experiences with lizards were truly ... GHASTLY.

Once, I was lying on my bed, reading a book. Then suddenly ... *flop!* A mini lizard landed somewhere around my chest region. WTF!!

What do you do when a lizard lands on your chest?! I couldn't scream. I wouldn't anyway. I'd never risk opening my mouth. What if the beastly lizard thinks that it's some sort of underground tunnel, and crawls into it? You know how fast lizards move.

And I couldn't sit up. It will fall onto my lap, or crawl up my neck. Neither sounded good. OR it might cling onto my shirt for dear life. Which didn't sound really good either.

In the end I used my book and "flicked" it away. Oh yuck. I can vaguely remember seeing a rolled up, brown lump on the floor. I thought it was dead, and I went to sleep. The next morning when I woke up, it was gone. Damn.

Lizards, lizards. They crawled up my leg before, landed on my lap before, peed on my head before, pooped on my belongings and possessions before. And they have creepy eyes. And their legs/feet/whatever you call them are HIDEOUS. And they're cold. *trembles*

I was so happy when we moved houses. I was so happy to leave all the stupid lizards behind. During the first month at our new house, it was fine and perfectly lizard-free. And then more and more lizards appeared. Fuck. Any ideas on how to kill them? I'm scared of them so it's impossible for me to stamp on them, hit them with the hit-the-fly thing or anything. Eek.

Alright. Good night! Help me pray that I won't dream of anything bad, be it Dr Lecter, lizards or whatever. =)

P.S/ Stupid lizards. I was going to end the entry after the "OK, I should stop dreaming". Stupid. Oh and my blog is getting deadly boring without a single photo. I haven't gone out of the house since like, thousands of years ago. *sigh* Tedious, indeed.

Love Story

21 September 2008



LOVE STORY - TAYLOR SWIFT

I think the song's pretty cute.

BUT WATCH THE VIDEO!!!

(The video actually reminds many people of Pride and Prejudice. I think so, too!! Especially the part at the end where they ran toward each other, just like Elizabeth and Mr Darcy~)

It's almost everything a girl can possibly dream about ...

Beautiful dresses, stone castles, parties and balls (you know what I mean), and, A HOT GUY!!!

The "hot guy" is supposedly the Justin Gaston who is currently (or possibly) dating Miley Cyrus. I can't say anything about Miley except that I hate her from the first moment I saw her. And it's not a jealous kind of hate, even though she IS famous, rich and have long legs.

It's the same thing with Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, really. Hate them the first time you set eyes on them. Two desperate idiots who crave for attention, who pose for every single photo the paparazzi took of them ....


Posers


POSER.


POSERS. Or POSER.

Since Heidi's the one sucking in her tummy and throwing her chest out.

Anyway, back to Miley and her guy.

Well, if Miley's really dating him, then .... good! All the more reason to hate her.

Justin Gaston is .... well I don't know who he is, but I found out on the internet that he's an underwear model *gasps and fans self*, he's 20 years old, and he's some sort of star on a show called Nashville Star or something.

He's 20 years old. And Miley's only 15. I mean, of course, the age difference between a couple doesn't matter. But I, along with the whole world, are wondering about Miley and her "promise ring" ....

But why MILEY??! Surely he can do better. Why not Taylor Swift? They were together in the video, and they were perfectly sweet! Taylor's very cute, and can sing well. Miley's ... not very cute, and cannot sing well. WHY???!

Actually, I am hoping that he's gay. Everyone says that hot guys are gay. And he's definitely hot. If he's going to date Miley then I hope he's gay. If he's going to date someone like Taylor, then God, please let him be straight.





Seeee??! HE IS SO HOT!!! And he's got perfect abs. And .... *gazes skyward and smiles* Total dream guy. Well, one of my dream guys.

*slaps self* Okay. I'm awake now.

Well .... if you're still curious about how hot he is, search for his photos online!! You will probably find thousands of photos of him in a skimpy underwear. LOL. He is an underwear model, after all .... Hahaha I'm totally going for guys with abs in the future. But not too muscly, though. It's a bit frightening. Who knows? Maybe he'll crush your bones when he hugs you. Too much muscles.

*************

And I got to post this :


Marissa Miller and Miranda Kerr

Look at Miranda Kerr!! She's so gorgeous, isn't she? And her cute dimples are to die for ...

I have never really liked Marissa Miller. From the neck down anyway. She's got a pretty face, but her body is a bit weird. I know, she's ranked number blah, blah in the girl-with-hottest-body list, but I don't know ... maybe her boobs are too big for her tiny waist. And her abs are scary.

Some people said that Miranda Kerr reminds them of Adriana Lima, and Miranda's going to be even more popular than Adriana Lima, who's currently one of the most famous and well-liked VS Angel.

I was ... well, a bit ... devastated to hear people saying that. I like Adriana. A LOT!!!

Alessandra Ambrosio is pregnant, so let's not talk about it first. Miranda and Adriana.

THE BIG PROBLEM IS, Adriana is already engaged to some ugly (seriously) guy, who knows what his name is. I mean, okay, love is much more than the physical thing yadda yadda, but, a comment from some person really got me thinking.

What if Adriana gets pregnant?? WHAT WILL THEIR BABY LOOK LIKE??!? Ahhhh. Adriana's one of the most gorgeous women in the world, and that guy ....

I can only hope, pray God, that their baby (if they ever have one) will resemble Adriana.

Or even better, Adriana will realize her mistake before she marries the guy and loses her virginity to him. Believe it or not, Adriana declares that she's still a virgin. Hard to believe right?

Nooooo. Life REALLY is unfair.

Why can't Adriana date someone like .... Orlando Bloom?? Miranda Kerr dated him!! Noooo.

***********

Oh, I love the song So What - Pink!!!

Way cool. Now THAT'S a true rock star.

18 September 2008

My parents are quarreling again.

It's a bit upsetting, really.

Our stupid, good-for-nothing maid is so .... *clenches fist and grits teeth* fucking STUPID. She always makes my mum furious. And agitated. She did so many stupid things even though my mum already gave her instructions. She can make stupid mistakes while doing some things she did rightly before.

Say. That day, she almost ruined all our clothes. My mother's many, many dresses, our school uniforms, my father's working clothes .... I don't know how she did it. She sprayed some sort of soap on the clothes. I mean, yeah, she was supposed to. But only a bit.

Let's say ... mix one "cup" of the soap with water, and spray. It was like that. Always. And she had been working here for at least a year or more. But that day, we don't know what got into her mind, she mixed FIVE "cups" of the soap with water and sprayed on the clothes, and thus causing oil-like stains and blots all over our clothes. FIVE whole "cups". It was so concentrated that it made my father itch all over his body, and made my thigh itchy.

It wasn't like it was her first time doing it. And she was only supposed to spray the thing on some certain clothes, not ALL of them. I had to go through a horrible day at school with all those stains on my uniform. It even made me ITCH when I looked at it. Yuck.

And now, my parents are arguing over the maid and my mother's attitude.

I don't know who I agree with ....

My father is right. My mother really keeps scolding the maid (and previous maids, for that matter). And sometimes I totally think it was unnecessary. The thing is, no matter what the maids did, they're always wrong. They take the ingredients out, they're wrong. They didn't take the ingredients out, they're still wrong. My mother will always scold them. If I am a maid, I'll be downright pissed at her. How will you like it if you're always wrong and never right?

It's hard to pass a day without hearing her criticizing and reprimanding the maid.

But then, sometimes I don't think my father understands. It's not like HE was the one doing the cooking, washing and stuff. How will he know what's right and what's wrong?? You see, if your maid is stupid enough to do the soap thing I mentioned above, won't you be angry? What if the stupid maid really did ruin all our clothes?? Any ideas how much her salary will have to be reduced??

Of course, my father didn't really mind, as he has so little clothes. But my mum? My sister? Me?? OK, my sister and I doesn't really have THAT much clothes either but my mum has a lot. And luckily her clothes weren't ruined when the maid sprayed on the soapy thing. Luckily the stains can be washed off.

And during the spraying-the-soap process, my maid also messed up her rooms' floor. It became all oily and slippery with all the soap. What if it's ruined??

Seeeee. It's a tad bit complicating.

True, my mom has a super sharp and sometimes, oh, screw it, almost always, an extremely annoying tongue. Attempt to chat nicely with her and most of the time she'll give you a short, sarcastic retort that crushes your attempts to have a nice, lighthearted conversation.

But to be frank, I don't really know why my father said that my mother's like that (even though she is) when HE himself is like that as well, just a bit different. He just doesn't use his tongue on maids, he uses it on us instead. You can say a truly tiny thing, and it will lead to a long, boring lecture full of scoldings.

He scolds at the tiniest of things. He has a hot temper. He's always frowning and scowling, kind of. He always scolds me when I scowl, when he's exactly the same, only worse, as the scowl is on his face almost all the time. He always scolds me when he detects a bit of rudeness in my tone, my voice. Doesn't he know he's also pretty rude when we ask him things? I ask him things, he mostly replies impatiently, with an angry tone, with a huge frown.

Hah. Like father, like daughter.

That day, he scolds us for putting stuff on the coffee table. But his eyes missed the quite large, in fact, larger than all our stuff, bag of his on the table as well. My sister, frustrated and impatient, just told him, "isn't that your bag on the table?" AHAHAHA.

But really, the maids can really be so idiotic at some times. If it was me, I'd probably scold them too, but not as often as my mum. And our current maid, the one I hate the most, is the stupidest of them all.

First, she likes to laugh, giggle and make some inhuman-like noises. And she's extremely rude. She can still laugh and mumble some nonsense in her weirder-than-the-usual Indonesian language when she's scolded. The previous maids, I was still able to make out what they said. THIS maid, I don't even feel like trying to find out what she's saying.

She asked me a completely stupid question yesterday. I asked her to take out the carton of milk from the fridge when she wakes up this morning, and she asked, "Oh, still have one ah?" (of course, in her queer language). She meant to ask that if there are still milk in the carton.

Hello, stupid. Which normal person puts an empty carton of milk in the fridge?? What does she think I am, mad??!? To put an empty carton of milk into the fridge, and then ask her to take it out and throw it away the next morning?

Maybe she thought that I wanted to freeze the "body" and "carcass" of the milk carton before I actually threw it away, letting it die happy, all frozen. Maybe she thought that I wanted to let the milk carton have a last few pleasant minutes of peace and coolness before it's last breath slipped away.

She's mad, I tell you. Mad beyond belief.

And my sister scolded her that day for not knocking before going into her room. How impolite. You might get a fright if you suddenly see a person in your room. You might get a fright when you suddenly hear the disgusting giggle of hers. Eeeek.

And I never understand a word she she said, so I either say "huh?" or ignore her. I know, rude of me too, but what can I say?? I don't want to say "I don't know what you're talking about" in Malay every time. It's equally rude actually.

*sigh*

I'm not going to rant anymore. It makes me tired.

Now the stupid maid wants to go home, and ... *fingers crossed* I really hope she leaves. GOOD RIDDANCE. We don't need someone like HER in this house. Yes, we need her to help with the chores and stuff, but with that kind of madness ... I'd rather she leave.

ARRGH I HATE HER.

***********************

Anyway. TO THE HAPPIER STUFF.

Actually, there's no happy stuff. PMR is coming, in 25 days. Great. Too great.

Hahaha I feel like laughing. But I can't.

But there is a silver lining in the cloud! Which is .... I can feel a sore throat coming? OK. NOT a silver lining. A black lining. A black cloud. A gray sky. A thunderstorm.

Must be the chocolates. My mother baked some donuts, and two chocolate cakes yesterday. She also made some chocolate cream as the topping for the donuts and cakes.

And I also cooked scrambled eggs today!! =P

I have to start studying. I HAVE to start studying. I have to.

Well .... I'll see how things turn out tomorrow. If I'm too tired, I won't study.

(Typically, I have said that sentence yesterday. And the day before yesterday.)

And I'll probably say that tomorrow. And the day after tomorrow. Heee. Wish me luck!!! =)

Itchy, Itchy

14 September 2008

Ahhh. Results.

I swear, my results this time SUCK real bad.

If the exam I just sat for had the same standards with PMR then I'm totally screwed. Done for. Dead.

Let's just hope PMR is much easier. Especially for Chinese and Malay. And ... well, if possible, for all of the other subjects too.

I got 21 questions wrong for History. I got 17 wrong for Chinese (!!!!!!!), and 16 wrong for Malay (!!). I got 14 wrong for Geography. I got 11 wrong for KH. I got 10 wrong for Science.

Notice that all of the numbers have two digits. What the fuck.

Chinese. I speak Chinese every day and I did so badly. But come on. We learn about those useless translation stuff. What's the use of THAT?? I'd rather learn a whole new language than learn about that translation thing. Say, I'd rather learn French. For when I go to France one day.

The only one I did better was English, I got 2 wrong. Whew. The one and only single-digit number.

I'm doomed.

I have my Art homework and I have to pass it up tomorrow. And I don't feel like doing it. The title of our work is "My Dream World". I mean, you can pretty much draw anything you like ... who's to know that your dream world isn't just a wide piece of green grass with a flowering tree on it?

But .... *sigh* MARKS, stupid marks again. A few stupid numbers in our important life.

I still remember what Becky Bloomwood said in the Shopaholic series ... she did say something about how a few numbers (in her case I doubt that it's only a few numbers) doesn't really matter that much, and why quarrel, fight, and argue with each other only because of those meaningless, tiny numbers?

I TOTALLY AGREE. For exam marks.

****************

Anyway. There are many interesting movies to look forward to this year and next year!! Whooo, I totally can't wait. Heheheh~

Oh, and the third episode for Gossip Girl is coming out soon!! :D

And I just read the Leven Thumps - Gateway to Foo (oblivious to the approaching PMR), lent to my sister by Pei Qi!! I found on the internet that there's a movie for it coming out on 2009, too!! I only hope it's true ... the book was quite nice!! Although it was a bit unrealistic, but books, especially those fantasy kind of books are always unrealistic.



Clover (the tiny little thing perching on the guys' shoulder) sounds like the perfect pet. I want a pet that can talk, can make itself invisible, and has lots of special candies!

AND WHO, WHO HAS THE TWILIGHT - STEPHENIE MEYER SERIES?!?!

(Noooo I can't buy!! I'm saving money. Feeesh. Why is it every time I'm trying hard to save money something always make my hands itchy? HAHHH!?)

I want to read I want to read I want to read.

No, I neeeed to read before the movie is out in December.

And Robert Pattinson is perfectly hot. Ahhh. He was Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and I remember Ee Leng and I shedding a few tears when he was killed by stupid ugly Wormtail. Just because Cedric was hot. Hahaha.

And he's BRITISH!!! *screams*





Yumm. *dreamy stare*

And if you're still not convinced that he's hot, you should go and watch the Twilight movie trailer. Ahh. And being a vampire in the movie only makes him much sexier. Ooh. Vampires are scary, but they're pretty sexy too.

I'm thinking of the Dracula movie again!! Hahaha. Leslie Nielsen. Hilarious. But no, he's not sexy, just very funny. =)

And since I already posted so many photos (TWO, in fact =_=), I'll post some photos of the gorgeous Adriana Lima, again!! I just keep finding photos of her hotness in the internet.





Photoshopped, I think, but still hot anyway. But really, sometimes I don't get why she looks so fierce in her photoshoots. Maybe it's her trademark or something. Sexy, true, but still very scary.



Okay, she's now officially on my top favourite list, even though I said that she's too skinny to be on that list some time ago. But who cares if she's too skinny.

I saw a photo of her without any make up, a truly candid photo, and she looked gorgeous as ever. Now that's a real supermodel!

Oh my God, the second episode of Gossip Girl Season 2 - Never Been Marcused - was even better!!

I'm not going to drone on about Gossip Girl today and bore you .... consider yourself lucky. =P

But I can only say : GO WATCH IT!!

Ahhhh, I love how sweet and steamy Dan and Serena's kisses were. Oooh.

It was interesting, yet sort of complicated. And the dresses are still to-die-for. And Blair is gorgeous.

OK, shut up.

"But when it comes to scandal, I'll take Manhattan any time." - Gossip Girl

But I guess Manhattan isn't really like that in reality. Fabulous, but not full of scandal and drama, even for those who live there. Those are only for the Gossip Girls!

Ahhhh~ NYC, I'm coming for you one day!!



UPDATE : I forgot! I must say I'm in the right mood to slap someone right now. Who else? Like A said, maybe B really is truly nice, only that I am willing to think the worst of B. But why do I get the feeling that B is truly not nice, sometimes? Blah.

Gossip Girl Is LOVE!!!

9 September 2008

I have FINALLY watched the first episode of Gossip Girl Season 2 which came out on 1 September. Late, I know. But what if the trial exams and all ....

The episode was incredibly awesome!!!! Same old, same old, all the gorgeous faces, clothes, the glamour and the drama were there. Only wayyyy better.

There MIGHT be spoilers below :

And when I heard the Lord Marcus Beaton's delicious British accent .... *faints* And he looked pretty good as well!! Ahhhh. I kept replaying the part when he admitted to Blair that he was a lord and he was British, because ... I can't help it. I really love his accent. *starry eyes*


He is kinda hot, no??

Okay. I am going to start my Gossip Girl-is-perfect rant now. Put your finger in your ears. Or should it be, your eyes. Stab your finger into your eyes.

Serena and Blair were flawless, as usual!! They both looked completely gorgeous, but in completely different ways.

Serena looked like a total goddess in that to-die-for Oscar de la Renta dress during the Vitamin Water White Party!! (Found out the designer of the dress from some site) And she is slim enough to pull it off. Her hairdo and the ... what should I call them, hair accessories? looked perfect too!!!! Like people said, she looked like a Greek Goddess. Or a Roman Goddess. And I liked the outfit she wore to the beach at first!


Look at her body, her dress, her hair, HER!!


Look at her again!!

Are you feeling sick now?? She has the whole package doesn't she? Pretty hair, great body, great legs, pretty face, and when she smiles ... it's those kind of happy, sunshiny smiles which is really nice.

I totally don't get it. Jun Fang says Blake Lively is fat. Maybe the photo I sent her was a bit unflattering, but in my opinion I think that's a cross between slim and curvy. Real girls have curves. And her legs are to-die-for, all long and toned. AND her hair is to-die-for as well.

And I also don't understand how Jun Fang can like JENNY, of all people. Some of my classmates who watched Gossip Girl, they all hate Jenny too!! Too much of a wannabe. Bleh. And she's too skinny.







And if THAT is called fat .... I don't think I want to live anymore.

And her legs are perfect, no? There are plenty of photos of her legs in super tight jeans ... *eyes pop out*

The photo I sent Jun Fang was of one of the above, in the gray dress. Perhaps her hips did look a bit bigger than usual, but that was probably because of the horizontal lines on her dress. Hah. I did study my KH!! I know horizontal lines on clothes can make a person look plumper.

Jun Fang said Jenny's slim ... skinny, yes, slim, no way. Slim is fit. With a bit of a shape. Like .... Adriana Lima. She is slim. She's thin, but not too bony like some other models, and I think she looks great.

And like .... Kim Kardashian. She's not exactly slim, but she's truly got the curves a woman's supposed to have. And I also think she looks great, except for some times when her ass looked a bit too big.





Blair looked pretty as always, with her trademark headbands. I loved her gorgeous, highlighted new locks! And I loved all of her outfits!! Especially the green dresses she wore when she was with Serena, talking about how "a hot lifeguard is like Kleenex, use once, and throw away!!" and during the dinner with Eric, Chuck, James (Lord Marcus) and Serena's grandmother.

The parts of Blair and Chuck (love them!!) together were so horribly ... touching. Kind of. But goodness knows whether Chuck really loves Blair or not. If he does he wouldn't have hesitated and stuttered when Blair asked him to say the "three words, eight letters".

And oh my gosh I totally loved the part where Serena and Nate had the little (or not so little) PDA!! Hahaha. Even though Dan and Serena are undeniably a cute couple, I still think Nate and Serena will make a hot couple!! And Serena's the only one that actually has a bit of chemistry with Nate.

And I fucking hate that stupid Catherine!! Nate, Nate, Nate. How can you fall for someone so ugly??! Surely Nate deserves someone better. Like .... me. Serena. Ahhahaha.


Catherine = Eeeew

Ohhh and I hate Chuck's hair. What did he do?? He is so sexy off-screen and during Season 1, but his hair in Season 2 .... what a turn off. Eeeek.

Okay, let's see, what else do I like or hate?

Ahh, but of course!!!

DAMN THAT MOTHERCHUCKER!! CHUCK-BASSTARD!!

That must be the best part ever. :D

"Georgetown! Princeton! Georgetown! Serena, can we go now??" They looked so cute bickering and squabbling with each other.


Everyone's favorite couple besides Dan and Serena

(I'm not really digging Chuck's outfit. Yuck. He dressed better in Season 1)

Hmmm, what else??

Oh, am I boring you?? Haha. I don't care.

I also liked the part where Serena and Dan were having the "Oh, no, let me guess, you can explain that" conversation!! Hahaha. Served Dan right. One of the girls, the taller one with the turquoise drink, was quite pretty I think!! The other one was just utterly .... *aherm*

And also the part when Nate was thrown out of the window by Catherine while they were *cough* fooling around in her house. Nate ran half-naked across the road, almost got hit by Serena's date's car, dropped his clothes, and bent down to pick them up, and thus giving all the girls a good chance to ogle at his ass and legs in his shorts.

Even though I dislike Catherine I have to say her make-out session with Nate at first was pretty hot ...

Okay, ENOUGH!! Time to go to bed.

You know you love me!! XOXO.

(Oh shit I can't resist showing you more photos of the Victoria's Secret Angels next time. Especially of Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio. They're just too beautiful.)

The Sun, The Sea and The Sand

5 September 2008

LONG POST AHEAD!!!

Whoopee!

Just like that, in a wink of an eye, three days of the beastly exams are over!!

And I'm still alive!! I don't feel like killing myself .... yet.

History and Maths next Monday!! I'm scared. Especially for my Maths. I still haven't forgotten how terrible my last paper was. *gulp*

OK, I have to shut up.

I'm veryyyy tired!! You know what I'm like, always studying at the last minute, and I have been staying up late for three days straight. I know I shouldn't, especially not during exams, but I can't help it!!

The first day I slept for around four hours. The second day I slept for around five. And yesterday I slept for only three!! *wails*

So the first thing I did when I came home today was, of course, sleep.

BUT!! As luck would have it, my next-door-neighbour moved. And now there are renovations going on, all noisy and irritating. Drilling, hammering, more drilling, MORRREEE drilling. Damn. It sucked.

When we were renovating our house last year, I'm sure the neighbours felt like that too. It's especially annoying when you are trying to recover many great hours of sleep. I had to cover my ear with a damned pillow, which made it unbearably hot. Arrgh.

And bad timing, I'm having my exams now.

AND IT DOES NOT HELP THAT I HAVE TO PREPARE FOR MY PMR SOON.

Last year, our house renovations went on for almost a year. It wasn't always drilling though, of course there were other less noisy, less unpleasant (to my ears) things to do.

From now on, I don't love the morning and afternoon no more. If the renovations are still going on as loud and as earsplitting during the end-of-year holidays, then I'm going to be a night person. Like an owl. I'll sleep in the morning and wake up at night to hunt for food.

Pah.

(Oh I forgot it's so noisy in the morning I can't even sleep like an owl)

OK, now, I'm going to update about the day I went to the beach. To be honest there really weren't much about the beach except that I was very happy. And tired.

And you get to see my pretty self-shots. Haha. Yuck.

*************

1 September 2008

Ahahaha it sure felt good and a bit, just a bit, bad to be having so much fun just two days before the exams.

I practically wasted the whole day lazing around when I should be studying, hard. In the afternoon I slept like a pig. At night I played like a ... pig.



Ahhh. My true family they are, pigs. I sleep like them, I eat like them.

But still, I studied a little bit that day. Just a bit.


I know this photo sucks.


Crabs! Caught with our hands ...

Aherm. Not that I'm ... bragging or anything, but I caught most of the crabs! Especially the big ones. Hahaha.

(Actually I don't see anything to be proud of about catching crabs, they're not dinosaurs or whales, are they?)


My Cousin No.1

She's so cute, isn't she?? She chopped off her pretty long hair ... Aww, so sad. But she's still very cute!!


My sister and I

Eh. I don't know how come every time when I'm somewhere near the sea I happen to be wearing this yellow shirt?? Last time it was at Crystal's house and it was beside the sea. This time I was actually on a beach.

And then at Crystal's house I took some self-shots, (which includes my favorite photo, which I'm using for many profiles) and this time I also took some self-shots!! I'm such a hopeless ... narcissist. Haha.

It's becoming a .... tradition!! Right. Next time I'm going the beach, remind me to take my camera and to wear this shirt.

Actually I bring the camera everywhere. At least when you're bored and alone you can look at the photos and ... well, laugh! To think about the old times, your childhood, the happy times you had with your friends and family, and thinking, oh, how time flies, and life is too short ....

Damn, I sound like I'm dying.


My Cousin No.2

Aww she's also very cute, just not THAT cute in this photo, probably because she wasn't ready.

She's very skinny!! She's only 7 or 8 years old, but she's obsessed about her weight already. My aunt told me that when she asked my cousin to eat something, my cousin will say something like, "You let me eat this, you want me to become fat ahh!!"

Hah. When I was young .... I eat everything!! Just like my piggy friends. Who cares about their weight when they were young. Blame it on the baby fat and tell people you need extra nutrients to have a healthy growth!


Pretty, pretty meeee *coughs*

Hahhaah I'm so vain.

So, I went sunbathing!! Even though it was hot, it was nice!! Because I was lying at the edge of the water and the waves sometimes splashed over me, cooling my body a bit. And there was a cool breeze that day, lucky me!!

I'm now tanned!! OK, not as tanned as I would have liked but still, tanner than before. Whoopeee!! Must do it again soon. Must not become fair and pale. MUST NOT.

AND!!!

Unfortunately the beach we went to has no toilets, no changing rooms, nothing. And a very kind somebody wouldn't lend us their toilets. So ... what did we do?

It was one of the grossest experiences I ever had in my life. Yucccck.

There was one, and only one secluded, more private place. And that is the .... I don't know what it's called. You know there is always a tiny river that leads to the sea?? Well, we changed there. Only that it wasn't a river. Even though I refuse to believe it is completely dirty and disgusting water (i.e. water from the toilets), it seems like it's the only possibility.

There was a pipe with water flowing from it, but the water never stopped flowing, so my aunt said it probably was spring water ; because who would waste water like that??

(Shit I should have taken some photos, it's so hard to describe)

The place was so ... I don't know. Public?? It was more secluded than other places but it was still in the public. The place we changed was like a giant drain with a sandy bottom. Actually, no it wasn't a drain. Or was it?? No it probably wasn't. You can see the trees above you, which means if someone happen to pass the "drain" and glance in, they'll see you changing.

How private.

Oh I totally forgot to mention that the "drain" smelled disgustingly foul, exactly like the toilet, and the "sandy bottom" was actually all sticky, watery mud. It was very shallow, just like puddles of water, but there were fishes living in them.

Eew, fishies! Can't you find some other better places to live?

So, we had to help each other while changing!! We used towels to cover (attempt to anyway) up everything when we changed. Arrgh. It was just plain gross. If we were only changing clothes, it wouldn't be that bad because you'd be wearing your undergarments and to be honest, they're just like swimsuits and bikinis. Nothing much, except people will see all your cellulite. Haha.

Anyway. We went for lunch after that!! Yum. We ate some famous Laksa. Oooh, so spicy, but so nice!! *drool*

And ... well, err, I think that's about it.

****************

And NOWWW I'm going to post some random photos of some super gorgeous celebrities. I'm going to drown you in the hotness. Skip if you don't want to puke of jealousy. =P

Eye candy for all!

ADRIANA LIMA

She's one of my favorite Victoria's Secret Angels!! She's drop-dead gorgeous, hot and sexy, and she has a killer body (and I mean, reaaally killer) ... but she's already engaged to some lucky guy ... Poooo. Sometimes I wish I'm guy. Don't you? When there are so many impossibly hot girls in the world ...

But sometimes she looks a bit scary. I don't know if it's her eyes or eyebrows ... scary, but still gorgeous nevertheless. And she DOES have beautiful eyes!! Damn why are all Asians' eyes black?? Black is so boring as hair and eye colours!



There. Here eyes really are magnificent, aren't they?? Big, and it's sort of .... clear, if you know what I mean. A clear, pure colour.




*smooches*




Adriana Lima in TURQUOISE lingerie

This photo makes me die. A gorgeous girl wearing lingerie in TURQUOISE?? *passes out*

How can someone look so resplendent just standing there and smiling, biting her bottom lip and blowing a kiss?? *jealous*

MIRANDA KERR

My other favorite Victoria's Secret Angel!! She's sooo damn sexy and adorable!! And she dated (or still dating? *confused*) Orlando Bloom. ORLANDO BLOOM you know. Such a hot, hot guy. Means they both have great taste. Oh my God, I'm so jealous. But if I'm a guy, I'd feel jealous too, because HE gets to date someone so pretty like Miranda Kerr.


Hot guy + hot girl = hot couple =)







She's so cute, isn't she? And hot. (I have to stop using the word)

Ahhh I'm being stupid!! All the Victoria's Secret Angels are hot!! But I especially liked these two.

I like Alessandra Ambrosio too, she's pretty!! (Okay I'm being totally pointless again) But she's a bit too skinny to be on the top of my list. =P

ALESSANDRA AMBROSIO



This photo is very nice isn't it?? She looks so ___ here ...

(Trying to avoid using the words gorgeous, beautiful, pretty, cute, hot, adorable etc)



Ooh. I love the dress she's wearing!!

CHANTAL JONES

Not a Victoria's Secret model, but still a model. Remember her?? From the America's Next Top Model Cycle 10, the pretty blonde girl who lost to the stupid, ugly bitch Saleisha with the mushroom .... *smack* Shut up. She's insulting the mushrooms. SHE IS INSULTING THE MUSHROOMS.

Well, Chantal is successful and soooo beautiful now!! Hah. Better that that Saleisha.







Pretty blond hair, blue-green eyes, tall and slim ... I bet she's most guys' dream girl. She's my dream girl too!!

Anyway .... there are still thousands of photos I'd like to post, but I got to go to bed now!! I spent ... I don't know how long I spent on this post, but I do know it's pretty long.

Toodles!

(You are still feeling sick from seeing so many gorgeous photos, aren't you?)
