MOPEMOPEMOPE

-OMG. i was THIS close to getting a puppy today. like literally this close. ugh. but this AUNTIE had to tell my mom how puppies chew holes in carpets and what not. BLEH.

-american gangsters was good. denzel washington's amazing. i know drugs are bad and all, but is it wrong if i was rooting for him, the drug kingpin? ehh. russell crowe just seems like a total sleaze ball. but there were lots of boobs flashing throughout the movie. weird.

-met up with BFF on monday! hahah she's so unglam it's absolutely impossible to believe. loveeee.

-i'm kinda confused, so much so i dream about it. like wth?!

-dance today was good, we're almost done! okay. only sorta.

-i got my podster back! yay. im a happy kid. i swear i could've hugged it.

-i'm on to supernatural season3! heh. jared padalecki's still a cutie. loveeee. although, this season doesn't seem as scary..which is fine by me. heh.

I ALMOST GOT A PUPPY TODAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

charm your way out

music:sixteen military wives-the decemberists
mood:elated

You Would Be a Pet Bird

You're intelligent and witty, yet surprisingly low maintenance.You charm people easily, and they usually love you a lot more than you love them.You resent anyone who tries to own or control you. You refuse to be fenced in. Why you would make a great pet: You're very smart and entertaining Why you would make a bad pet: You're not interested in being anyone's pet! What you would love about being a bird: Flying, obviously What you would hate about being a bird: Being caged

What Kind of Pet Would You Be?

haha. me and shijie are so cool. she's a puppy though! and that's much cuter than a stinking avian. eww.

AND WORK'S OVER. whee

tragic affair

music:i'm not okay-my chemical romance
mood:))))):

MY IPOD'S BEEN KIDNAPPED, AND IS GONNA REMAIN SO FOR ANOTHER 4 DAYS. and i'm feeling so lost now, after being separated from it for all of 30mins. )))): i don't know how i'm gonna make it through to wednesday!

i'm not okay
haha i love this song.

AND AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO FOUND OUT HEATH LEDGER'S DEAD TODAY?! omg. tragic.

anywhoo. i fell in love today. with this cute little 8 year old boy who stole my heart when he stumbled over the words 'sensitive skin'. awww. i wanted to steal him away at that moment ((((: too cute.

OH. and wednesday was a class reunion thingy and keewei/baowu owes me cool photos. but wednesday was ridiculous. had dance practice which went really well! and then had to rush home before rushing again to dinner. at least i wasn't the latest! yay.

haha we look so cool and dead and scary.

AND. this UNCLE asked if i was a MAINLAND CHINESE GIRL. like what?! cos apparently my chinese is accented. well i guess i should be consoled by the fact that my chinese can't be half bad then, if he thought i was CHEENA.

ALSO friday was kinda cool because i had many surprises (:

i don't understand her sometimes.

stuffs.

music:don't look back in anger-oasis
mood:sleepy

i'm too tired to be coherent and blahblahblah..so point form:

-i'm still blinded by the whole view of this random lady's very white ass.

-this other lady actually clucked to call her husband over, and he actually heard her from 200m away. talk about hen-pecked. HAHAHAHHAH

-i finished 'vanishing acts' and realised i like novels where everything falls into place in the end, perfectly packaged and tied up with a neat little bow. it's a little reassuring, that everything will work out in the end.

-i think i'm pretty anti-social. lunching with "colleagues" is an awkward affair, particularly since all conversation is in chinese. i probably should have paid more attention during chinese lessons.

-RANT ALERT 1: apparently i'm not a girl enough. this OTHER lady asked which colour foundation she should use and i said hesitantly ivory something or other and she said annoyingly that that was too white a colour for her. LIKE HELLOOOO LADY DO YOU NEED A MIRROR?! your face IS white. and other colours would look freakish. tsk. sooo apparently i don't know anything about cosmetics and such. whateverrrrrrr.

-27 dresses is really good! i like katherine heigl. and james marden. and them together in the end (((: work would be sooo much better if i had eye candy ))):

-'i don't know' is the most over-used phrase for me because it means i don't have to think.

-i am gonna meditate on the picture of jared padalecki aka the cute sensitive dude from supernatural. maybe then i'll dream of him. heehee.

-RANT ALERT 2: i submitted this application thingy for this secondary school for relief teaching and i was rejected. but what pisses me off most is that it reads: dear shu ling, we are sorry to inform you that we do not have any vacancies for relief teachers. WTF. WHO IS SHU LING?!?!?!? growl. FINE I DON'T WANT TO BE RELIEVING YOUS ANYWAY.

-AND that colleague of mine said i was pretty because of my face shape. LIKE WHAT? what about my eyes? or other stuffs?!?!?! tsk.tsk.tsk.

okay, i'm done.

el-oh-el

music:put your records on-corinne bailey rae
mood:sleepy

this song's soothing.
you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

i'm reading this book called 'vanishing acts' and it seems to be very chick lit, not that i'm complaining though.

i remember that for one moment, i believed that i was hitchhiking on one of
those comets, falling so fast that i'd surely burn away before i ever hit the
ground.

heh. how adorable.

anyway. watched one missed call yesterday. it was such a crappy horror flick in that it wasn't all THAT scary. haha the funniest scene had to be the one where a priest was trying to exorcise a ghost from the cellphone. it looked too comical. and the himbo certainly lived up to his name, he shopped and i, a girl didn't. shocker.

then me and shijie slept over at manda's not before stopping by cold rock (HAHA 'MANDAYY'). i like the gummibears hidden in my icecream and the swing set that made me and shijie slightly sea sick. planning the zombies/killer dolls dance was real exciting though, we've got really cool ideas that i hope will turn out right. but but but i want you to dance true friend! ): haha we spent most part of the night laughing at pictures of people which was good fun (:

and hahahhaha. this song was playing on my ipod where the intro was some voicemail thingy. 'you have one missed call...' like el-oh-el!

sometimes i feel my heart trembling to burst out into a foreign song but i can't quite hear it and i can't understand it.

I'M SLEEPYYYYYY.

whine alert!

music:be sensible-jimmy eat world
mood:troubled

the peihui told me to update so here goes:

• my first instinct is to whine and bitch about my job but it seems to be all i ever do. euugh i'm such an annoying human.
• it sucks to be only just mediocre especially when there's so little room for people who are only just okay.
• i'm having a hard time separating the things i actually want from the things i know others want for me. except, i don't even have the slightest idea what i want.
• sometimes, i want to not be taken so seriously.

anyway, i had the strangest, freakiest dream ever that involved a person repeatedly yanking on my ponytail. like what?!?! i don't understand how my brain works. it seems like it never sleeps. bleh. all i want next christmas, is dreamless and uninterrupted sleep.

edit-big thankyous to ashmit for breakfast on sat, shije mau jun stephen for coming to visit me on sun!

music:all you need is love-the beatles
mood:tired

heavy downpour means less customers. less customers mean little talking. little talking means more time spent in my head.
-i wish i could be a better person
-humans are impossible


i found out i like going for walks while listening to my podster. although it would be more fitting for the movie screens if it were cold starry night.

ps: tom yum is YUM.

weird people and weirder dreams

music:dismantle.repair-anberlin
mood:tired

8jan--
hahaha i think i'm pretty horrible at keeping secrets and surprises, but thankfully its shijie we were trying to surprise (i'm not implying anything!) so me and jun managed to successfully surprise her at work. and woahhhh i've never ever been to tampines mall before! so happening siazxxx. anyhow, we seoul-garden-ded after that...we make good chefs with incredibly innovative recipes that may or may not give you a tummy ache. heh.

9jan--
ice skating with jun, shijie, the himbo and my brother. haha me, jun and The Fishball had a little drawing competition while waiting for the slowpokes and jun definitely is the BEST artist EVER. anyhow. met keish and her class at the rink, of all places. CINDYYYYYYY. hoho.

10jan--
freaking work again. bleh. BUT i improved from last thurs although still managing to fall below my quota. hey, it takes skill okay! oh, but hahahha last night, i dreamt my mother was this tyrant and everyone hid from her in this secret annex except they wouldn't let me in simply because she was my mother which is completely unfair but then i finally proved my innocence and they let me in. wow longest sentence ever.

doesn't it suck when you think you know this person and in the
next minute see a complete stranger?

hey, guess what. WORK TOMORROW!

work fricking sucks.

music:feeling this-blink 182
mood:tired

HAHA. how ironic. im feeling OLD now, with itunes playing 'feeling this'. i never thought it would suck to hit 18, or even-dare i say it-19 this year. things that make me feel old:

1) work.
shit, the adults weren't kidding when they said work is helluva worse than school. if it weren't for the money...i keep chanting in my head:paydaypaydaypayday. bleh. and srsly. aunties and ah mas need to learn to have a little respect for us poor promoters here! it's really a humbling job. note: you don't have to completely ignore us. but thanks to clement, leilei and peewee for visiting me and buying a box or two of hairdye!
2)dance.
jazz class today with manda,shijie,mau,vk,keisha. it was pretty good but it appears that i'm so totally out of shape! my arms are trembling from today's class and it's a pretty safe bet i'll be aching tomorrow!

anyway. other stuff happened--
2jan:met up with the BFF kisha after job training to catch up, watch i am legend and exhange belated xmas gifts. oh yeah and our little book club. it's so funny how we both cringed and cried at the same moments (:
3-6jan: work ))))))))): but! breakfasts with mel and on sunday with baowu/keewei made the days start off great!
today: spring cleaning in my room. at the end of it (it took me a grand total of 3.5hours) i had 5 trash bags to show for my efforts. it's scary how much can accumulate in 4 years--cobwebs, junk, memories.

this must be the new year

music:together we'll ring in the new year-motion city soundtrack
mood:awake

cindy's costume party

HAPPY (belated) 18th CINDYYY. you're like, finally 18 and can drive. sorry your costume party didn't turn out as you wanted, but you gotta admit, me and mel won the contest hands down! so where's our vouchers! haha.

i love you truckloads cin! dance has been really fun with youuuuu and your retardedness (:

greek masterpieces @ the national museum

haha. i finally got to wear my shades out. just too cool for words yo.


i swear, the grecians are the single most imaginative people ever. the lust, incest, betrayal, jealousy woven into their mythology makes for a highly entertaining soap opera. DRAMA! oh and its comforting to know that men come before women who then come before children, children being the lowest form of life to walk the earth...or something. heh.

new year's
spent new year's eve with family friends, and fittingly, a Friends marathon. i love joey and phoebe! it was comfortable. michelle quoted death cab's song 'the new year'--

So this is the new year
And i don't feel any different

its really sad but true, and the same goes for birthdays. but i've still accordingly made my new year's resolutions:

1)to keep secrets

2)to be more decisive

at the crossroad where so many possibilities lie ahead and heavenward. some road signs would be nice.

don't they know it's christmas?

music:under the gun-the killers
mood:confused

happy xmastime everyone! spent in MALAYSIA with the family (: seeing everyone around the table heavy with food, the christmas tree with its winking lights and carefully wrapped and chosen presents spilling out from underneath it...it just fills me with a warm, fuzzy feeling! ANDDD. i've got the most awesomest pajamas ever! red pjs with reindeers all over. heehee. im literally wrapped in christmas (:

and HAPPY 18th CLARAHHHH! wo ai ni hen duo!

haha she's so cute there! i hope you enjoyed your birthday, next time we WILL go ice skating! haha and maybe sky diving too?

no wonder sleep deprivation is a torture technique. because yesterday, after 39 hours without sleep, i was ready to break ): but im feeling much better now. someone reminded me of the meaning of my name that's framed and hung above my bed, and i guess it makes sense. i think the last one probably got me expecting too much from others and leaves me disappointed. but whatever! thank god for the friends i can talk to.

lynette: a person who believes in being joyful, does not stray from the
path she's chosen for herself, always seems calm and composed, brings sunshine
into the lives of many, appreciates thoughtfulness in others

haha what do you think of that? guess i'm pretty damn near perfect. KIDDING.

--my bed is mine because its where i leave my troubles and fears at night.

everyone on the dance floor!

music:stop and stare-one repulblic

mood:amused

dirty dancing:havana nights

ooh its so good. i wish i could dance like that &diego luna is adorable in this. he makes me want to learn spanish (:

my favourite scene--he was teaching katey how to sway her hips 'in a circle, a circle...that's a box' heehee. SO CUTE.

BUT. i hate the ending. it's so open-ended and just leaves me hanging. there had better be a sequel called dirty dancing 2 or something like that!

'dancing is about being exactly who you want to be in that moment'

nintendogs

haha. i borrowed (stole) my brother's DS and played the only game i could--nintendogs. it's the lamest shit ever, but the puppies are kinda cute. AND you can walk them, and teach them tricks, and enter them in competitions...yeah. i was thoroughly entertained for half an hour.

anyhow. i've got an interview tomorrow, for a job as a promoter for some hair dye. god, i need a job badly.

ohmygod. it's like deja vu one whole year later :/ one smile and i'm pretty much obsessing already. damnit.

HOLYDAYS

music:kiss kiss-chris brown

mood:dog tired

chiang mai

whee. i love chiang mai! with food+shopping so cheap, who wouldn't? plus, the weather was just right for me, not too hot and not too cold either. but i'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

thailand's unique form of transportation, the tuk-tuk. &somehow, our family of 4 managed to squeeze into the backseat made to seat 2 comfortably. woah.

tamarind village. i think its so pretty how the 2 rows of bamboo curve gently towards each other.

the gay parade. they were actually willing to sing and dance if we paid them.

me and lil marky boy at the orchid farm. heehee he's so cute, all of him!

he's bonding with the baby elephant! isn't that so aww.

with the hill tribe children. that's their playground. i don't think they need themeparks and rollercoasters if they have that in their 'backyard'!

Mok's birthday

happy 18th mok! it was held at the martini firm, which would explain why there were so many different martinis. haha i only realised it much later. KRIS PICTURES!

Ladies night

ehhh.i felt so cheated. turns out eve of public holiday=no ladies night+full house at almost everywhere! bleh. but finally, at like 1, xinyi mau shijie jun and me ended up at butterfactory with a bunch of other random people. and omgggg all of us died, except for that crazy xinyi of course. i was actually sleeping by the road at like 6 in the morning!

yeahhhh. i need a job, fast.

cheer up, emo kid

music:cancer-my chemical romance
mood:tired

so. my chemical romance tonight. call them scene or emo or whatever, but i like them. and because of something that happened earlier today, when they played cancer and helena ("the funeral song"), it felt so fucking good. &ray toro is AMAZING.

but whatever. i need to pack.

prom drama queen

music:all of this for you-sevenglory
mood:sleepy

so prom was pretty fun. well not the actual thing itself, but the pre/post part of prom night. i definitely loved just sitting in the salon chair while my make up and hair are being done. yeah i'm a total girly girl, so sue me. and then of course clubbing! felt really good, especially after such a long time (: heh. and OH. manda-my true friend was crowned prom queen! soo cool. i love you true friend! anywhoo pics below:



keewei,me,mel


me,devanshi,keewei in the hotel room


mau and me. HAPPY 18th MAU! thanks for acting surprised! haha. we tried to keep the cake hidden, but apparently not good enough.


keewei and me at mos

and HORRORS of horrors. i got my hair CUT & COLOURED. now i looking like a fricking ah lian with SHORT hair. bleh. on top of that, i spent the weekend with some korean drama, bawling my eyes out. like what?! i gross myself out sometimes.

yeahhhh. and im off to chiang mai on wed, with no clue when i'll be back. its either the 15, or 16, or 17. heh. good fun.

go shawty

music:sway-the perishers
mood:tired

so. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to keisha, mel , my brother and i. the morning itself i was pleasantly surprised by cake at my doorstep. obviously i stood at the door with my mouth agape for a good one minute. maybe. soo unglam. anyways. a BIG THANKYOU to xuanting BFF, BAOWU, rachhhh, peewee, clar-rahhh. then later met the og peoples at swensens, followed by a little shopping and movie. then had dinner with ah ting and watched secret. jay chou at his finest, only not really. it was unbelievably cheesy! zzzomg.

the cake that gave me diarrhoea for 20 days. haha kidding. thanks BAOWU. it was surprisingly yummy and edible :)

flowers that will never die!

i heart babies. don't they just make you melt? this little thing was what i went to KL for. oh and it was precisely on the coach to KL when i realised i'd grown up. i was bored 5 mins into the cartoon sequel of sleeping beauty! pretty good ay.

--ooh. and i finally read 'fight club' by chuck palahniuk. it was disturbing but so good. the twist at the end totally blew my mind. i want to watch the movie. anddd despite the graphic violence, sex and what-not, the sappy romantic in me sees a love story embedded within:

"It's not love or anything," Marla shouts, "but I think I like you,
too."
One minute.
Marla likes Tyler.
"No, I like you," Marla shouts. "I know the difference."

do the stars gaze back?

music:romeo & juliet-the killers
mood:happy

so. i hate how it's bio p3 on monday when i haven't touched the syllabus in EONS. which means now's a good time to start as any. mmphff.

open house today and the dancers went back to look-see. apparently we are pretty convincing as sec4s. too cool. we danced/jumped a little in the teeny studio. i miss it now! me and keish were surprised by cake!

3 days to....!
heh.

then we crystal jade-ded. xiao long bao was bleh though :( omg. STARDUST was so good. nothing like a happy ending to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside :)

warning: cheesefest
I can't do the talk like they talk on tv
And I can't do a love song like the way its meant to be
I cant do everything but I'd do anything for you
I cant do anything except be in love with you

I said I love you like the stars above
I'll love you till I die
There's a place for us, you know the movie song

-altogether now: awww.

just rain on me

music:my saving grace-armor for sleep
mood: mmff :(

• i understand but it doesn't make it feel any better.
• i'm second-guessing myself

this is so primary school -.-

i don't knowwwwwwwww.

on a side note, my brother's being a complete A-HOLE. he's confiscated my
remote for the air-con (wtf?!) and it's uncomfortably warm even with the
fan on.

i can cook!

music:big casino-jimmy eat world
mood:bored






top: mel and i made dinner for ourselves. a full three-course meal. for real. soup, salad and pasta.
middle: cool pasta shapes! car, plane, train, motorcycle. we're too cool.
bottom: haha just a subtle reminder for myself. to STAY AWAKE. it works :)

i've only just officially hit the halfway mark. meh. many more days to go :/
