the whole of sim family practically just sang the whole day away at my uncle's house cos he installed the karaoke system. too bad its mostly oldies there ): but imagine if there's like MCR FOB etc songs i think the whole block of neighbours will be killing us hehehe.

then gambleeee. but this year's luck not good also ): yesterday lost 8 bucks already you know! then today lose again. sianxz. WHY WHY WHY. this is like the second year i've lost money by gambling during CNY. last year was the first :'(

BLESS ME WITH GOOD LUCK KAY. to win money when i gamble and that a miracle happens so my socpsyc journal finishes it up by itself. i already did half of it k!!! but i sorta getting confused ): sadly enough, i shall be spending my new year on socpsyc. nooooooooooooooo~

my elder brother's back from NS for 4 days! and at home, there was one whole big duck, seafood, and the expensive nice fish slices cooked just to welcome him home....... @#)(%)$#(&%) what if he comes back after 2 years! hold banquet already is it.

but whatever, i got to eat the duck drumstick anyway. it was damn yummy. i took a bite, and was like oh yah should give my brother eat then i offer him hehehehe. he said that he had enough of it in camp like %P^($_^$) wth lah.

he came back in the new ugly uniform. me and glenn took pictures with the cap hahaha. show you all the design of the new uniform. ugly isnt enough to describe it.


THE CAP OK. NOT THE PERSON.


he so cute right haahaha.


his tongue damn cool lah can turn both sides. thats the only thing i can do ):

List of things i need to do:

i feel so screwed up right now cos i have mental block for socpsyc. who said this semester slack one!!!!!!!!!!!

and the maid's getting on my nerves. whole day talk on phone and sms. seriously like the whole day whenever i see her!! then use our electricity to charge her phone like 24/7. then even hang some bell on her phone now then at night everyday ring ring ring very bloody irritating. then at night still sms and talk on phone. cant she do housework or cook like how she uses her phone?!?!?

[edit]
HER PHONE IS BLOODY FREAKING IRRITATING!!! her lover just keeps calling and calling at night when she's asleep and being the heavy sleeper she is she doesnt wake up despite the calls coming in continuously for more than half an hour. also, now she more and more daring, dont put on silent mode anymore you know!! so the bloody ringtone just frigging rings away the whole night how to concentrate on work?!?!
[/edit]

I CANNOT WAIT FOR FEBRUARY TO COME.

2. HOLIDAYSSSS!!!!
3. MONEYYY~

I DONT WANT FEBRUARY TO COME.

Tuesday, January 20, 2009

i am so hungry now but i dont want to eat cos its like midnight now and i cant do work on an empty stomach so i ended up shopping online again and played bejeweled that i got from intan and i know that im going to die from a broke bank account and grades and hunger soon.

girls are much nicer than guys because they said my bangs look nice while guys only make fun of my bangs ):

today was a damn funny day, where 6 half naked guys walked into the lecture theatre with "RENU!!" written on their sixpacs to celebrate her birthday. i wonder how they were feeling at that time seriously hahahah. everyone in the lecture burst into laughter too lol.

you know. it feels like school is ending soon(which it is) and i do not have much assignments (which it isnt). i feel... kind of weirdly free after tackling the assessed reading and printing out writcomm sources. which isnt a lot i did?!?! ah whatever. i shall enjoy while i can =D

went to jurong point to eat din tai fung dimsum with family today! :D suuuper full. but there dont have my chee cheong fun and prawn dumpling!! >:( so i ended up gorging on xiaolongbao and other prawny food :D then we walked around. and all the shops we entered were for guys.

i've been wanting to get shawn a vest and since i scared later he dont like, i took this chance and he got one :D heheh. i got one pair of brown flats! like finally after so long i finally found one for me. whoohoo.

left halfway to go and meet vivian at central! walked around and we saw this really really cute hat pin. but it cost 10 bucks -.- it was obviously handmade, so i decided to get the materials and do it for myself, vivian and ______! :D and it cost around 15 bucks too, for the material for like so many people. tsk.

we got out and took some pictures!


vivian being the usual monkey she is!


we both got bangs hahahahaha. i called her and found out we both got bangs recently. whoo.




she wants to jump into the river. nobody's stopping her heheheh.


so she decided to emo that nobody cares about her.






she's ghostly even without doing this hehehe.


she trying to jump out and scare people but obviously fail :P



the whole time me and vivian were trying to keep our bangs down properly but the wind was like damn strong so we ended up like bangs like not bangs a lot of time. then centre parting also!! so we had a hard time trying to take photos together hahahaha.

then we walked to chinatown to buy the materials. seriously, now i feel like getting all the nice fabrics there and go sew skirts also or whatever. DAMN CHEAP CAN! then sell it for a huge profit. hohoho. i still remember my sec 1 home economics teacher praise the bookmark that i sew myself can! :D and that i got 27/30 for it which is super high muahaha~ but whatever lah, dont think have time anyway.

in the mrt i saw two available seats next to each other so i wanted to sit there since i didnt get to sit for five whole hours and my legs were aching plus i had a toe in pain. then there was this ah ma, she immediately run to the seats dragging her granddaughter and SAT DOWN ON THE SEATS WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO TURN AROUND AND SIT. bloody hell!!! and she continue talking loudly to her friends/relatives sitting opposite treating me as transparent. seriously, wth so kiasu for wad?! and there were other seats nearby available too -_- damn asshole can.

and speech comm was great because the moment it was my turn cordelia had to leave!!! :):) like how lucky can i get. and also, i didnt screw up too! i ended at 5:30. which means i dont have to minus marks? :D

andd. today was supposed to go out and eat dinner with karyan xinhua eugene jehanne but didnt go. sorryyyyyyy. i ate like all the new year goodies till like 6 wondering why still havent go, then my parents were like dont go lah and i was full. the moment i told them i wasnt going anymore, MY DAD JUMPED UP FROM THE SOFA IN JOY LIKE A LITTLE KID AND JUMPED AROUND CHEERING. zomg. i think i know what's the best birthday present for my dad this year.

i dreamt that i lost my macbook!!! horror. and i was thrown out of my house by my parents just because i lost it T.T

somehow, it was like i was out with hongru then i went to np to shower I DONT KNOW WHY. then i took the bus back home and when i reached home i realised my macbook was missing. my parents were so angry that i was so careless with something that cost 3000 bucks so they threw me out. and at that time i was eating so i had to survive on one-quarter bowl of rice that was thrown out with me.

and before i was thrown out, i actually ordered rice online (?!?!) and it reached me just as i was starving on a bench near my hdb. my saviour~ but then, ORDER RICE ONLINE IS LIKE OMGLOL SIAAAA.

and i had a husband and child with me that was thrown out i dont know who and why o.o but at least i remember the husband's figure damn good ^^ toned and muscular and lean and tanned and what else haahha. too bad cant remember the face!!

and then somehow i was in china again. my younger brother went to irritate some mad woman and she chased all of us with a chopper hahahahahahah. she only managed to hit my elder brother with it but the rest all busy laughing and running away from her. AND I RAN FAST FOR A LONG TIME WITHOUT PANTING TOO. which is impossible in life. running fast for a long time is already like miracle for me!

uh then my mum wanted to stay in china for five more days even though i had school the next day ): then we went to a toilet, the floor was full of urine!!!!! geeez. lucky im in singapore.

cannot remember anymore already. hahaha.

school has been fine. it feels so niceeee to know that there are no tutorials/lectures!! :D

my lovely usul changed colour from red to snow to white to darigan to robot!!! and so far its the cutest at robot colour. the picture doesnt do it justice because photoshop always loses colours in the pictures when i save ): i customised it already though heheh. it was really like some mad usul when it was darigan cos i gave it the mad scientist wig which totally fitted in okay. looks damn nice on it. snow and white usul looks the same, both ugly though.
