Class photos and what not.

Class photos. That's the best thing about Primary and Secondary school, I must say. Well, at least for me, it's one of those moments to look forward to. It's just so....exciting? Whenever Mr Photographer (weirdly enough, it's the same photographer I've seen taking my class photo for ten years.) comes around, I get abit excited. "It's that time of the year!". No, I'm not being dramatic here. Admit it, you get excited a little too, no? (Okay, maybe it's just me.)

Anyhow, when it's "that time of the year", you start worrying about how you should smile (wide, but not too wide, and not too tight either) and if the hair looks okay, or that tie doesn't look funny. Some even come to the extent of putting on make ups. (the girls, not the guys, of course.) Bottom line is; you want to look good, and decent, and not remotely close to semi-retarded. You want to look, uh, normal. Afterall, this picture would be published in the year book, where everyone in school will be getting it, and some bored person might be flipping through it scrutinising every face in every classes, like he got nothing better to do.

So you must now be wondering why the hell am I writing about class photos, which is a tad random a topic to be musing about when I'm now in the middle of holidays. You see, Yana showed me her class photo.

She looks like she's saying "EH WAIIIT!" Haha.

Cheers?

The Art of Wasting Time.

With the three weeks of holiday here, it seems that the vicious cycle is back again. Don't get me wrong, I love holidays. It's in fact that time of the year worth fussing over. Suddenly there's a whole long list of "Things to do during the holiday" However, quite the contrary, my holiday so far have been remotely mind-numbing to say the least. It's already the 6th day, and all I could think about is what to do, when, and with who.

It really doesn't help that all my shopping, movie, lunch kakis are all at school. I've to wait for them to be done with it (which is usually late) to meet them. And for those who are not in the know, I don't get out of the house after 12 because by then the lazy nerves would usually be creeping in. Basically, my holiday so far has been anything but productive. Sitting around at home doesn't help my dieting regime, I tell you. That's why, I've resort to payback my fasting. Oh yes, so exciting. That said, minus the humdrum of these few days (and more days to go) I've discovered something quite "useful". Note how I use "......." to stress the usefulness of it.

What I've discovered thanks to random musings, pondering, and staring at the ceiling is.....*hold your breath*....The Art of Wasting Time.

Now here's the what I've come up with so far. ((:

The Art of Wasting Time

1) Come up with a list of "Things to Do" for the holidays and start doing all 20 of them only on the last week, or maybe never.

That's what I'm planning to do!

2) Chat up a mate at MSN as someone else and come up with a bizarre tale about you, the stranger, hacking into your account. Then ask that mate stupid questions like "Are you gay?"

That's exactly what Ella's doing now. Like, nothing better to do, I KNOW.

3) Good old Youtube-ing. Just watch one video and link all the way, from one to another. Uh, until you got sick of it.

Type "kenjumba" and watch. The guy's super funny.

4) Use Photobucket to upload pictures, and upload them 20 pictures at once. That done, try make a slideshow of it, but don't save. See what happens.

I've been doing that for days. Proven to be highly effective. Btw, that W16J pictures I said I'd upload? That'll never happen.

5) Think of how to waste time, and make a list of it.

Technically, I have only 4 points in my "Art of Wasting Time" list, but I'll go think of more if I have nothing better to do.

Cheers?

gone for now.

There's so much to say about them W16J and our last day as a class. Though the pictures are already sent, uploaded in the laptop and all, I'm just really lazy to do all those uploading pictures in the post now. So yes, that will be done maybe tomorrow, the next day, the next week, or maybe never.

Meanwhile, you guys can go to Yusra's space, or my friendster for all the pictures.((:

So yes, back to our last day, which was yesterday, it was not as dramatic as I thought it would be. Everyone kept our emo mode in check, I guess. We basically had a happy farewell for our last day as a class. Snapped too much photos, I almost got tired of smiling, since we'd done our camwhoring since the Monday. Oh, and I got the most retarded picture taking moments the last few days. I realised, I now hate taking pictures because of the awkwardness in trying hard to smile when you really don't feel like doing it. I know, wth.

But anyhow, since it's the last day and all, obviously I have so much to write and blg about. So that will be done, when I feel like it. Uploading pictures is not my favourite thing to do while bored, even to shitlessness.

The day I'll blog about all this, will be the day I publish the next post. So yes, happy waiting. Till then, I'm leaving this space stagnant. ((:

CHEERS.

One last time.

So much camwhoring done, so much pictures taken over these few days. That's because, it's the last few days with them W16J. Here's a little visual insights from today until the rest of the photos are uploaded, sent and edited. ((:

We had to create a game for today's last Communication module. So yes, that's my team's "board game". Or rather, the aftermath of it.

Faci Gwen treated us to pizzas. ((:

Rally rantings.

It's already Sunday night now, and I realise (though a little too late) that I practically burned my weekend just rotting in front of the laptop. I mean just doing that. It was a good distraction, in a bad way. I didn't even have my lunch or dinner, and ended up binging on the leftover samosas the aunts made for guests. The cyber world's addictive, I tell you. I blog hop, I watch videos, I watch newly added movies, blog hop some more, then the videos, and then add more movies. (and the vicious cycle just continues until I got tired of it - which wasn't anytime sooner.)Uh yes, I find something to do somehow, when I have nothing better to do ~~nohow~~

Anyhow, the National Day Rally was on TV, so I got a little excited. No, nothing patriotic about it, really. It's been a personal tradition for me, to watch the rally religiously every year. Yes, the PM's speech is sometimes a tad boring, discussing about current affairs oblivious young Singaporeans wouldn't care a hoot about. (Like making babies for the population, and the CPF craps, not to miss out all the detailed mathematical explanation.) But anyway, I just watch it because well, it seems rather interesting. Besides the occassional dry humour, and little quips, there's something about the rally that have always made me abit rapt watching it.

I don't know why, the thought of the leader of the country talking for hours, standing, while the rest of the auditorium are sitting seems a little paradoxical, no? Plus, there's possibility that them people who are sitting in the audience may or may not be listening to the PM's speech after a good one hour.

That said, I must say, the best bit of this whole rally episode is when Mr Cameraman decides to zoom the lens at the audience for awhile. This is when I usually would catch people in action, nodding their head, trying not to sleep while their heavy eyelashes never seems to help, people closing their eyes, pretending to listen, and also (yes) people digging their nose.

Well, you never know. Digging your nose, "live" on national tv? As that old tv show catchphrase says; "SMILE, YOU'RE ON CANDID CAMERA!". Oh, and PM Lee had a funny way of waving at the last bit, no? Haha. ((:

Alright, I'm done with this rally rantings. I've got school to go to tomorrow. It's the last week, and also first of last four days with them W16J. *sigh*

Cheers?

the one with a flu, cold and vb.

After 15 weeks, I realise that it's true. For all those VB lessons since day one, I know why I forever feel like sleeping. As Jeff puts it aptly yesterday: "SERENE YONG SUCKS."

I need a sleep, one good dose of medication and more sleep. Which means I need to be at home.

Aghh. Should have listen to Yuhui and not come to school today. Yes, for once, she's giving wise advice. Doesn't help that of all the days it could have rain, it has to be today. Pfft.

Oh, and I forgot to buy a cake for Serene.

shutting up and out.

I'm currently in school. I feel like going home.

Today's Science, which explains my non-existent enthusiasm. For those who are notin the know, Science and me doesn't go well together. It's mind-boggling, not to mention makes no sense.

I don't feel like talking today. In fact, I don't feel like doing anything today. I should have opted for skipping today, and lie down on the bed, and sleep the day away, like nobody's business. Meanwhile, since I'm already here, I'll just get caught up in my own little reverie, and countdown the hours.

Drats.

about blogging, and all those random stuff.

You know, as much as I'm prone to blogging random posts, I hate reading it back, because it seems to have this rather.... bleah thing about it. I don't like the fact that I don't like the way I write. Some people seems to be blessed with the ability to write interesting stuff, and get readers engaged, eventhough their life is probably as mundane as ours.

That said, one of my favourite bloggers is going on a long hiatus because he's pretty much done with the blogging stuff. Oh, and even the sister is thinking about writing a diary, and do less blogging - Back to Basic, I say. Funny thing is, I'm the one being bothered about having lesser blogs to religiously visit every 2 days. (Prying into people's lives has been found to be stress relieving.)

But yes, speaking of random blogging, I'd say I'm much in favour when it comes to random talking. There's only few people who'd understand my random musings of anything and everything under the sun. So I had one of my random talking with a friend just now. And I must say, it really helps that she get what I mean, when I say about stuff. There's some stuff people won't get even if you re-narrate the whole scene again. They'd say "I know how you feel, I get what you mean.", but the truth of the matter is they don't. They really just want to make you feel better. But anyhow, that, my friend, was rather refreshing, and yes, stress relieving. ((:

On a side note, besides all those random blogging and random talking, I think these few days have been rather, erm, insightful. I get to finally see the lighter side of everything, and enjoy the simple things in life.

To cite a very good example, yesterday, I started my payback fasting (which is a bad idea for a Monday.). So I was blissful getting the "I don't feel hungry, I don't feel hungry" mood halfway through the day, when the second break comes. Before I knew it, the hunger pangs keep hitting my abdominal nerves. Them people was really "helpful" by having chocolate waffles, and Ili's mom's super delicious food right smack in front of my face.

Moral of the story? Enjoy those simple things in life, that you've gleefully take for granted! Lesson learnt, today, I murdered Ili's mom's super delicious food, chicken pie, tuna sandwiches, skittles, and one meal of LJS. ((: Haha.

Oh,and you know those laughing fits that we get once in awhile. The one you can't seem to stop laughing, eventhough it's not funny anymore. The one where you laugh so much, your jaw hurts. Uh, well, I got one of those on the way back home today. I was alone, in the train. I had to pretend talking to someone on the phone, just so people won't think I'm crazy, and the uncle in front of me wouldn't think I was laughing at his miss-matched pink shirt and dark red pants ala ah beng clothes.

Speaking of which, red pants still do exist, do you know?

For all you know, I just finish blogging yet another random post, and yes, it's going redundant.

Random-ing.

I'm blogging now because I seem to feel the need to. Just. This would be one of those random posts, whereby I'l write whatever comes to mind, and you make what of it.

The kiddos went back to their house since Thursday, and will only be back tomorrow. I'd say it's been rather quiet at home, with no din made, or them boisterous kiddos bursting in the bedroom every now and then. I'm basking in the tranquility, really. That said, I'm missing them all the same. (:

I've discovered something about someone today. It's not really something that I think I should put up here, for everyone (or anyone) to read. I have no problem about it happening. In fact, I feel a glimmer of wicked satisfaction about what had happened. But yes, I still can't say and tell all about what had happened. (and you might be wondering why the hell I'm writing about it in the first place) But still, I can't tell you what I'm dying to tell, it's annoying!!! Gahh.

You know that saying, about putting out your dirty laundry for all to see. (well, something like that.) ....er, ya.

On a sidenote, and to sidetrack alot, I've broke my record, and watched five Japanese/Korean shows today, rotting in front of the laptop, like nobody's business. ((: Those shows are addictive, I tell you.

In other news, I thought today was Sunday, and I was actually planning what to wear to school for the whole 2 minutes. Pfft.

Okay, like I said RANDOM-ing!!! ((:

Simpsons movie date.

The Simpsons clan are idiotic, silly and simply hilarious. It's so funny, I couldn't stop laughing the whole of that one and a half hour. At one point, the nachos I was holding were flying on air, and the box snapped close as I was laughing too hard. The chips got mixed with cheese, and we didn't feel like eating it anymore ( because it was disgusting, duh.) If only there's much more space, I would have laugh out rolling if I could. There was even applause at the end of the movie, which is unusual, really. So yes, MUST WATCH.

Oh, and dear Melly turn 18 today (Happy 18-ing!) so I thought I could just treat her instead of those cards and presents. (which would probably exist after 4 months or never.)

So yes, lucky for her, she spend her birthday with me. Free movie, free nacho combos, and a good company. (Haha.)

Cheers?

The one about horror movies and deodorants.

I just spent 9 bucks to close my eyes almost throughout that Alone movie.No, I'm not going to do a full length movie review or anything. Partly, because I'll end up giving spoilers, and people would kill me for that. Mostly, because I'm lazy, really.

All I can say is, the movie was scary enough for me, the faint-hearted. And I shall swear off horror movies for a long time now. On a side note, watching scary movie and not able to scream your guts out, because nobody else seems to be screaming, sucks. Really sucks.

In other news, I ended this week by eating two KFC meals for lunch and dinner, which pretty much defeats the whole purpose of my "dieting regime" since Monday. Drats.

And to sidetrack a little bit, to something that pretty much have nothing to do with the previous paragraphs... I don't see why some people couldn't find the time to get a dash of deodorant running under their sweaty armpits before coming into the god forsaken air-conditional train.

I had the longest, torturous 36 minutes ride home having your malodorous arms stretch out right smack beside my nose, Mister.

"If you're interested to know the ending of the story, you can purchase the book on the Online Store. The book is not available at bookstores.The book version contains all the chapters in this website plus three more chapters (Chapter 18, Chapter 19 and Chapter 20). So in total, there are twenty chapters."

I chanced upon this site, and ended up reading through the whole story. Or so I thought. I spend almost three hours reading until the chapter 17, which of course, I thought was the last chapter. Ugh.

friend-ish.

It's been a trying few months. It's all happening a little too fast, I must say. I was once in mix of fear, sheer joy, excitement and poignance, when I got to know I'm accepted to the literally greener pasture. Yes, all that new environment shit sometimes gets to me, I'm just bad at letting go, and plunging myself into new everything.

Fast forward, it's almost the end of semester one. I'm getting used to new friends, struggling to keep in touch with the old ones, missing many random people badly. I really am just rambling craps right now.

Old friends, new friends.... who cares, really?
