ff in sg

the scottish lads are coming to town. i need a buddy to go to the franz ferdinand concert with me on the 16th of february 2006. they will be rocking the singapore indoor stadium. but then, i haven't really asked my parents just yet.

the bottomline is, "I HAVE GOT TO SEE FRANZ FERDINAND LIVE IN SINGAPORE". there i said it.

countdown.

it's 3 days before the start of school. 7 days to ayin's wedding. 15 days to my pay cheque. i can't wait for the latter.

the family stone is a must watch. i so love the movie. rachel mcadams portrayed her character amy really well. and luke wilson's so cute. urgh. it's almost like love actually only that the story is really fast. love it.

lotsa

today is my last day at work at the post office. it's gonna be sad not to see the girls (sariha, farhanum, adibah and rodhiah) again after this day. i had lots of fun and a great time with these people. it's been a great pleasure and a wonderful experience working there. sigh. and i'm really gonna miss my eyecandy. a certain mr h.

yesterday, i accompanied hanissa to rgs for her secondary 1 orientation along with her parents, her younger sister and brother and my mother. and boy, the school is fantastic. i mean the facilities available for the students are aplenty. and all the classrooms are air-conditioned. that is just plain wicked. i'm so happy for her. being in rgs means an automatic place in rjc. and that's like wowee.

talking about education, sariha asked me a very good question the other day. what would i do if, i repeat IF, i were to fail my A levels. at the rate i'm at now, i don't think i'll even make through my summer tests. i'm such a lazy bum. i hate studying. it's killing me. if fate decides that i do fail my As, i would either retake the papers and waste another year or join NIE and become a teacher. that's like super eww. i do not want to be an education officer. and neither do i wanna retake. i don't want to flunk my As but then again, i'm not ready to start opening my books just yet. crap.

rgs

hanissa made it to raffles girls' school. that is just the best thing. i'm so proud.

Saturday, December 17, 2005

i came back from work today to hear that my eldest maternal uncle had passed away this afternoon. allahyarham ami ain died of heart attack on the way to the hospital. this is a tragedy that i don't even know how to react to. my maternal side of the family has just seen 4 of its members passing on in the space of less than six months. i feel so screwed.

end of reality tv


woot. danni is the sole survivor of guatemala. just the outcome i was so badly expecting after a havoc of a season. she totally deserves it man. and i must say, smart move there by taking steph with her to the final 2 instead of rafe for a better shot at the prize money. hooray. danni won and i'm delirious.

the wonderful 7-ppl jury with the gorgeous bobby jon in the orange top.


the weavers came in 3rd in the final leg of the amazing race family edition. it's a dissapointing result considering the fact that they were leading for the 1st half of the leg. but still, they manage a third place finish overall.

reality tv

the amazing race 8 and survivor guatemala are coming to an end this coming week. thankfully, my favourite contestants are still in the running for the million dineros. the final four in survivor are stephenie, rafe, danni and lydia. i'm hoping for either a rafe or danni victory. that would be great man. unfortunately, i can't watch the last episode on monday. all due to my job and the shopping trip with the tennis people. bah hambug. i so totally wanna watch. it's the season finale okay?!

from left: rafe, danni, steph and lydia.

the weavers are my favourite team to win the amazing race. however, i don't think that's quite possible. the evil linz family is the strongest left. but i still want weavers to win. i don't care if people hate them so much. i like rolly. hehehe.

go rolly.

Saturday, December 10, 2005

i'm crushing on someone. it's seriously driving me up the wall. when i look at him, my heart beats fast and slow at the same time.

shoes

last sunday, i managed to squeeze in 2hrs with my super busy mom to look for shoes for work. i discovered that i severely lack them. slippers and sandals i have plenty. but shoes, i think i have around 5 pairs including the ones i wear to school.

so we went to junction 8 cause i so totally love this pair of fila mary janes which i saw some time ago. and so, purchased it at $29.90, with my mom's dineros of course. we walked more cause i pointed to her this pair of loafers this girl was wearing on the mrt. and she was like okay. one more and that's it for the rest of the month. then i remembered that shuchen and i saw this cool shop at the edge at parco bugis junction which sells those shoes. so, i somehow managed to convince my mom to go to bugis after that.

at bugis, we went deep down to find the shop. my mom was frustrated cause she has been out all day and her legs were killing her. i just had to made do by sucking up to her. in the end, the tiny shop was found. the white plain loafers were not pretty after all. then my eyes roamed to the brown vans pair and it (my eyes, not the shoes you dumbo) lighted up. when i told my mom about the price ($80+), she stared at me and looked almost as if she would swallow the entire gigantic me into her petite self.

in the end, i settled for a pair of mickey loafers at m:industries for less than half the price. definitely worth it man.

job

i've got a job. a funny one indeed. i work as a postal woman. no. not the one who mails the letters into your letterbox. my task is too sort out mail accordingly, like cards separated from normal letters and according to the stamps and all. super taxing on the legs. 4 hours of standing with a 20 minute break in between. bloody pain sia. no more mary janes. sheesh. anywho, it's not that bad entirely. the aunties are really nice. and i've got an eyecandy to for me to wash my eyes with. whoopie. damn cute man that guy. oh yes. my cousin's in the same job as well. not the twin one i mentioned before. zahid, another cousin.

so start lauging people. i'm a postal woman. i know what's in your mail. haha.
well, not really.

forlorn

my uncle passed away early this morning due to complications of the heart. allahyarham pakcik omar was 73. it's such a terrible blow for my maternal side of the family. having just lost my grandmother during the fasting month, we are dealt with another fatal lost of a family member. this is so tragic. he began to develop senile dementia after the death of my grandmother. unknown to the rest, he had been suffering from other illnesses as well. of all this trauma, my dear aunt, umi hawa, has to bear the most of this lost having lost her husband in less than 2 months after the departure of her mother. such woe and grief has made me realise that i take too many things for granted. like my parents for instance. i haven't been a good daughter and i often assume that they hold the biggest responsibilities of the family. it's not fair to them. what if, one unfortunate day, i am left alone in this world? how am i to cope with this life by myself? these answers to my questions, i have yet to find out.

psle

my niece, hanissa, scored an amazing 264 for her PSLE aggregate. that is bloody impressive lah, considering the fact that yours truly only scored a pathetic 231 back in 2000. with that, she came out 2nd tops in ngee ann primary school and earned herself a scholarship. i think it's one from those rich ngee ann society thing. she qualified for the special stream and everyone is expecting her to pick raffles' girls for sure. but then, this girl wants to go to cedar oh-so-badly. she's a natural born runner, which explains her choice. i think she should go to raffles, good track team or no.

my mom told me how esctatic my sister and my brother-in-law were when her name was announced as the 2nd best in her school. i would kill to see that. my bro-in-law for instance is known for being known as one of the ultimate kiasu parents of all time. he insists that his kids are the best in all that they do and never stops talking highly of them. my mom told me that he grappled with his digi cam as hanissa rushed to the stage while my sister was sobbing and clapping and cheering at the same time. i think i would have cried if i were my sister.

congratulations hanissa binte sa'ad. you big haired smarty pants.

amazing race

the weavers are in last place in today's episode. so so sad. fortunately, it's a non-elimination leg. phew. damn the linz family. you people just can't resist yielding them can't you? sheesh. rolly's so cute. i so like rolly.

wtf? man utd drew against villareal again. quoting ron weasley, "bloody hell". this is such a dissapointing result for the red devils. why can't they have their premiership form in the champs league. what is it with man utd and europe? they can't seem to play well. boo hoo.

watched TRL few days ago and there was this singer called robin thicke. he's under pharrell's record label and man, can that boy sing or what. his 1st single, wanna love you girl, is sooo catchy and different. i fell in love instantly. there is a video of it but it's well too racy. i don't want to be seen as horny or anything. so go check it out people.

robinsons

i went for a job interview at the watson's head office with my twin cousins, zaman and anuar. zaman brought us to the place cause the both of us are like gundus and pretty much intimidated by the adults there. my mom was there too. shockingly, there were tons of teenagers who were apparently there for the interview as well. damn my luck. both anuar and i were told that if selected, we would get a phone call on friday. in other words, that's like "you're rejected." well, to me at least it is. nevertheless, i'm not giving up. i'm so enthu about getting a job that even my dad's persistent naggings won't stop me. haha.

after that, we dropped by at robinsons at raffles city since it's probably been a year since we last went there. i bought my mom a flower brooch and she bought me a cutsie eenie meanie bag. it's so cute i love it.

long time

jaime's out of survivor guatemala. woopie. finally, justice has been served for the departures of brandon and bobby jon. and i must say, bj looked va va voom on the jury. he was wearing this island style attire of a red top and white bottoms. probably he knew of a maniac watching live feed from singapore. if only i could prove my point with a fab picture.

roy keane has left manchester united last thursday. apparently, he was sacked by fergie. i have no strong reactions towards this but it must be very different at old trafford without keano. such a pity for the players to deal with the shock. but they showed that they could with the 3-1 defeat of charlton. goodie.

ezra was hospitalised for 4 days before being released yesterday evening. he was disgnosed with bronchitis, which if not treated could lead to asthma. the funny thing was that he was warded at the kk women's tower. nurses say that the children's tower was fully packed with patients. so i came into this conclusion. school holidays= more accidents. ironically, school kinda prevent us from getting into much trouble.

rafa pulled out

man. has butt-man created some controversies or what? first, the mallorcan girlfriend issue. now the shanghai no-show. boo hoo. such major disasters. one heartbreak right after the other. reports has it that his left foot was still injured. damn. what rotten luck.

man. he looks too sexy in denim.

adios mi amigo. what a tragic end to an almost perfect season.

he looks like he's gonna bawl anytime now.

and now, with bobby jon out of survivor and all, i have no more hunks to watch on tv. oh no. that's a dangerous sign. this was until i remembered that my austin is on project runway. which explains my hour disappearance from the cyber network. man, is he cute or what. love his sense of style. quirky with an oomph factor.


rafael nadal, goodbye and thank you for a wonderful year of 2005. i wish for many great things to happen in the year to come.

Friday, November 11, 2005

rumours has it that rafael nadal had a girlfriend back in mallorca. imagine the anguish and disappointment that i felt upon reading the news. man. how could he have denied being in a relationship all this while. big mistake my friend. just because you've broken my heart, i'm not going to watch your shanghai masters opening match.

what rubbish. bobby jon's now out of survivor. crap. there's basically no rason left to continue watching except of course to watch bj on the jury at every tribal council. i'd look forward to that. sigh.

no more brandon + no more bj = boring survivor guatemala

rackets


mamma mia. this racket is one heck of a beauty. wilson w2 black whisper. i wish i can afford to buy it and hold it tight in my arms. i'll sleep with it and never let go. sigh. it costs a hefty US$229.99. that's like SG$391.63. golly. did some calculations. if i were to save $20 per school month, i'll have $400 in 2 years time. that's like a long way to go. by then, i might have already lost my interest in tennis entirely. momsie's only giving me $200. no way am i able to afford this luxury item any time soon.

nothing

brandon's out. boo hoo. no more mr nice hot farm buffed-up guy on survivor. i'm disgruntled. i love brandon bellinger. do you hear me? bring him back, cbs!!


manchester united defeated chelsea at old trafford this morning (sg time) by a 1-0 scoreline. lucky you say? more like sheer determination. love the red devils lots and lots. let's hope that there will be a continous downfall of the defending champs.

project work has finally ended. whew. stupid bloody subject. so time consuming. anyways, IJ015 did a really good job at today's op. congrats everyone. it's been a pleasure working with bernadette, merissa, shu chen and philmon in this project. thanks a million you guys. no more aromatherapy for me.

i cut my hair. like short. but i don't think it's short enough. i feel like cutting it shorter. but then my mom would scream at me. might as well botak me.

project runway's starting in 20 mins. i so love austin and robert. and nora too. spoiler alert for s'porean viewers: jay, the big guy, won the competition.

quirky austin.

my dreams

this is going to be one odd post. i have to type it out before i forget everything. given that i have like 30 mins before i leave for hari raya visits again, i'm gonna scramble like hell. it's about a dream i had last night.

i met roger federer (what are the odds in that?) in singapore (again, what?) at a hotel in orchard road. i remember seeing the wisma atria from where i was. when i saw him, i was stunned. like seeing the zookeeper shaving off the lion's mane (metaphorically unimaginative). he took notice of my disbelief and gave me a megawatt smile. i was breathless and quickly ran up to him with my digi cam and a notebook to grab every chance that i have to be up close with a celebrity sportsman. never mind the fact that i worship rafael nadal. the sight of roger is the next best thing that i can ever get to a tennis player. when approached for a picture and autograph, he grabbed me and held me tight, like practically hugged me. i was diminutive next to big roger. he called on the help of his own photographer for our pictures to be taken. i was in cloud nine. delirious and hysteria overwhelmed me.

i woke up the next morning to be greeted with screaming headlines of an alleged affair of roger federer with a local girl.next thing i knew, the pictures we had taken the night before were splashed on the covers of newspapers and tabloids. i was aghast. roger called me (i don't remember giving him my number so, huh???) and apologised for the calling.

next thing i remember, my mom was waking me up to help her in the kitchen (this is after i woke up to reality, not still in my dreams). i think that my sexual deprivation has finally started to show its signs. do i think that i need a guy now? well, maybe. but i think what i need is more of a gigolo. haha. deuce bigalow, do you hear me?

like all of a sudden, i like roger federer now, even though he's still second to my butt-man. i think he's a really nice guy. well, he actually bothered to hop into my dream and cause a little drama didn't he?

fancy me talking erotica on hari raya. shame on nadia.

Tuesday, November 1, 2005

project runway

project runway is superb. and yeah. daniel is out. i think he talks too much crap. and robert shouldn't be a designer, he should be a model. he's so hubba hubba hubba.


i find austin really really interesting. he wears such odd clothes and that cute grandma glasses. he's dresses much like raj from the apprentice 2. i so love his corn dress. super cool. no wonder he won.

Monday, October 31, 2005

omigawd omigawd. everyone has got to check this thing out. so bloody funny. but first, you have to know the original song. what's up by 4 non blondes. you know, that addictive rock anthem of the 80s.

this is a remake version sung by he man, like no other. i was practically tearing man. it's got like techno in some parts of the song. what a cracker.

you gotta click the picture to be linked to the webpage where you can view the video.

tomorrow's deepavali. and wednesday's hari raya. can't wait man.

i had a tiff with my mom yesterday over kuih raya. i offered to bake some stuff instead of just buying ready-made ones. but no, she had to disallow me saying that it's more expensive to make than to buy ready ones. she said she had no money for me to buy the ingredients. i was like just hand over your atm card and i'll settle everything else. but then, big old mouth of mine just had to say something back. i said, "Abeh nak pergi beli ader duit. Aper je." it literally translates to, But you have money to buy ready made ones. What the?" it sounded kinda rude actually. but we've made up since and now in good terms again.

happy halloween to all.
happy deepavali to hindu devotees.
and advance eid mubarak wishes to all muslims

vulgar

i have become a corrupted little girl today. suddenly, i was exposed to the dirty world of horny sex attributes that human beings have through the explanations of hama, shu chen and suprisingly pei chi. woah.

i miss my 2nd sis a lot. she's so drifting apart from the rest of the family. i can't wait to see her and her adorable kids during hari raya.

news has it that my innova eyecandy no. 1 is leaving school for good. i heard that he's transferring to a polytechnic. like wtf. spend so much time here and just want to leave it to waste. and do you just want to leave me with one less guy to drool over? sigh.

malay ao paper's on monday. i haven't studied anything but the peribahasa which i've been reading more often than the Quran. i can't say that preibahasa is at the tip of my fingers but it is a relatively easy section top score in. i just want to get it over and done with.

i want to buy something special for myself by year's end. like an mp3 player or an expensive bag. i dunno. i just want to spend on myself. i've worked hard this year okay.

Monday, October 24, 2005

rafa won

rafa pumping it up.

yikes. he missed a point.

yes. vamos¡

wowee. his 4th tms title of the year.

chipping time.

yay yippe yay!! rafa won again. but this time, without the signature piratas. he won the madrid master series title after defeating ivan ljubicic from 2 sets down. he's one helluva wonderboy that butt-man. he has won 79 matches this season and 11 titles, 4 of which are master series titles. he's such a sprited young man. i can only wish that he won't change the slightest bit in 10 years time.
i wish i was ivan.

yowza. rafa's gone mad with the champagne. easy tiger.

random

i haven't been blogging for a while now. seems that there hasn't been anything interesting happening in my life. other than sick old pw of course. eww. now that's something which makes me wanna stop blogging altogether.

mid course

ooh. i'm happy when i'm not actually supposed to be. i met the requirements for promotion. i managed to get 2 a level passes and 2 ao passes for my mid course exams. i scored a suprising D for history and an on-the-dot E for literature. econs was the usual case of F. hah. C6 for GP and a B4 for malay. my marks are so mediocre it's something you will laugh at. but then, i still can't get over the fact that i passed 2 subjects.

i'm over the moon baby.

survivor

my favourite tribe lost the immunity challenge today. boo hoo. blake was voted out during tribal council. i didn't know why yaxha did that. i dislike his laziness and talking big but he is an essential physical strength to the tribe. i mean, he's far more atheletic than amy. now, there are only 3 original members of nakum in each tribe. they are seriously outnumbered.

my homey, brandon, simply blazed at cutting the ropes during the reward challenge. he single-handedly won the challenge for yaxha as he managed to do it in like 30 seconds. bravo. he's my favourite along with bobby jon and danni.

Thursday, October 13, 2005

mid course exams are finally over and done with. woot! but then it's not time to pop the champagne just yet. mt ao paper is on the 31st and there's bloody project work presentation. man i hate that so called subject. purely waste of time. sheesh.

Monday, October 10, 2005

buble

waah. i just remembered. tonight's michael buble's one night only concert in singapore. and i'm not there right now. waah. actually, the only things stopping me are me having no more dineros and i'm in the middle of my exams. waaah. michael buble, come back again would you? i promise i'll go the next time around. waah.

econs

econs paper was a disaster. like that's any suprising. i told everyone that i didn't have enough time to complete the paper. but actually i didn't know how to answer the questions. i wrote all crappers and this helped to occupy the blanks. i'm going to f this one again. yada yada yada. if i'm promoted, i promise i will chiong (is that how you spell it?) in my econs and make those doubters eat their own words. hah. let's see what happens.

man. these scottish dudes are driving me insane. literally. their songs keep playing over and over again in my 'puter. it's driving me up the wall. alex, nick, paul and bob. sheesh.

Thursday, October 6, 2005

grandma

i just came back from my aunt's. my grandmother passed away at 7.45pm today at the age of 89. she was my last living grandparent.

rafa


made this a while ago. it's an andy warhol-like faces of rafa. it's my 1st attempt at doing graphic-like pictures. used microsoft photo editor which explains its plainness. tell me what you think of it people.

i don't know what's that ugly black edge doing at the bottom there. i don't know how to get rid of it. if only i knew how to make use of this as a skin. that would be heaven.

franz/paris

i'm in love with alex kapranos. and his band too. i'm addicted to the song. waah. someone hurry. introduce me to some other song or i'll go bonkers just like i almost did with bohemian rhapsody. sheesh.

oh man. paris and paris have called off their engagement. nooo. i mean they're like a fairytale couple, so the very the compatible. and he's hot too. sigh. and i actually loved paris hilton while they were together. what is this world becoming to?

Saturday, October 1, 2005


this is the bloody hot nike advertising campaign that rafa is in. you have got to check out my butt-man. he's tentalisingly sizzling. sheesh.

rashes

went to the doctor again. this time to clarify my problematic rash. she told me it was because of some kind of drug allergy i had, caused by the drugs i was prescribed by the polyclinic on monday. so it's just drug allergy that has been causing me to stratch the hell out of my skins.

she gave me an mc for monday. not sure whether i should utilise its use. i want to take the paper and get it over and done with. but then again, i don't want to look like a disgusting dog while doing it.

Friday, September 30, 2005

waah!! i've got rashes all over me. and to think i wasn't even in school to actually be infected. stupid crap. i think mine's because of the antibiotics i'm taking, not because the school has it. it's super frustrating. i can't even clean myself well. bloody toot.

on a lighter note, nakum won the reward and immunity challenges for the 2nd consecutive episode!! whoopie!!! i'm esctatic. so happy that i'm going to watch the 10pm telecast again as well. man, i love nakum.

Thursday, September 29, 2005

i've got these red spots all over my body. they're damn itchy as well. just heard of the rash epidemic in school. apparently, almost half the school got it. sheesh. i'm just worried mine might be chicken pox instead.

Tuesday, September 27, 2005

i'm back. my internet connection's fully restored and i'm recovering well. for those out there who are unaware of my condition lately, let me tell you a little story. i was hospitalised on friday due to high fever, dehydration and hyperventillation. i was made to go for blood tests, urine tests and x-rays while on drip. it hurts so bad. eventually, i was diagnosed with chest infection, which i have totally no clue on what it really is. i was told to stay away from my primary addiction, ice cold drinks, until my condition improves. i have a week's mc from school which means i can spend the time at home for promos preparation, which is unlikely to happen anytime soon.

nonsense

oh my bloody god. i saw my eyecandy like 4 times yesterday. what bloody luck. i'm so thrilled. i've been smiling and smiling today. and as of 12.40pm today, i've seen him twice already. wow. life is so great. i mean in terms of seeing my eyecandy lah. school sucks as per usual.
yay!! felicity huffman and LOST won the emmy awards. woo hoo. awesome. and arrested development won some award too. yippee. and donald trump won the emmy idol. so bloody hilarious. staying up late till 1am in the morning was worth it. definitely.

Monday, September 19, 2005

crap.

i'm in school right now. computer lab 1 to be exact. waah. faezah and shradha are both not in school today. which means i have to endure the malay test all by myself. bloody fish.

today is ezra's 2nd birthday. i'm thinkin of getting him a toothbrush. or maybe chocolates. i'm not sure.

yay! rafa won his tenth title of the season, defeating guillermo coria (again) at the china open. i love my butt-man. he's finally found his mojo again.

rockstar/ mrt scare/ survivor

man. am i a paranoid queen or what? i nearly scared the shit out of myself.

i was in the train back home from school, from woodlands to braddell. along the yishun-khatib stops, i noticed a paper bag with chinese characters under the row of seats diagonally across me. immediately, i thought that some idiot must have left his bag of mooncakes in the train. out of the blue, i suddenly thought of the frequent announcements of reporting suspicious bags to the staff. it suddenly strucked me that probably, what was in that bag was a bomb, not mooncakes. i panicked and starting to sms a couple of friends telling that i'm in a train which i suspect had a bomb in it. it was so bloody frightening that i chose to alight at ang mo kio to wait for the next train. it was certainly an eye-opening experience. sheesh. trust me. i was close to tears.

right after i came back, i managed to catch the 4 o'clock live telecast of survivor: guatemala. and guess what? my favourite survivors from palau are back!! bobby jon and stephenie are back and i love it!! i'm so excited that i'm going to watch the primetime telecast at 10 later. man, i so love survivor.

rockstar: inxs is coming to a concluding end. my favourite to win is mig. he's simply the best there is left in the competition. i would have love to see jordis at this stage of the competition but sadly, she ain't here anymore. i want mig to win. he rawks!!! literally.

Thursday, September 15, 2005

safti

today's time table was cut short because of our visit to SAFTI's millitary insitute at the jurong area. our last lesson was gp and we had around an hour break before leaving in the buses.

the visit was rather fun cause the cadets there were really friendly and easy-going. they were pretty humourous too. and some were cute to boot. come to think of it, most were just 2 to 3 years older than us. cool.

rafa won his opening match in china open against a taiwanese guy, yeu-tzuoo wang. he won 6-2 6-4. great start for
rafa.

these were taken before the tournie.

the spanish armada in their robes.

carlos, juan carlos and rafa. cute.

and another to fease on.

rafa and carlos probably felt hot & sweaty in those thick costumes.

yesterday, a couple of us went to chengteng's place for tennis. at 8 in the morning. pretty psycho huh? well, i can honestly say that for a first timer, jude plays as well as i do. and that's a HUGE compliment considering the fact that i've been playing for oh-so-long and in the school team. i was bloody crap as usual. really sucky. and here are some pics of that we took.



chengteng & i serving together.


my rafa look. did i pull it off?


look at me. i'm serving now. no nonsense, ok.

i was such a hit that everybody wanted a piece of me.

yah, right.

oww man. went to toa payoh central with my mom this afternoon. and bloody hell, this guy. was looking at some hair products along this narrow little pathway of shops. and boy was this man in a hurry or what. not knowing that my right foot was already in pain, he seemingly ignored my precious and stepped on it as if it was part of the walkway. i don't have flat feet okay? and the best part was he didn't even turn back to say sorry. bloody moron. the first thing that i wanted to shout out was 'oi! bloody fucker!'. but then i realise my mom was in front of me all along so all i could manage was 'setan'. still vulgar though.
ouchy- wawa. my body hurts like hell. it hurts when i walk, when i laugh and even when i try to just do nothing and sit in front of the computer. the right side's like probably paralysed or something. man, you should see me walk to school today. i was limping all the way. like a total retard. see, that is the consequence for not attending tennis practices for the past 5 weeks and for trying to squeeze in 4 hours of training to make up for it. sigh. but tennis yesterday was super fun!! we played triples, like doubles but with 3 on each side. i was on the winning side so obviously i felt like i could go on for another 4 hours. i felt great yesterday. energy level was higher than usual, and so was my stamina. so much for unfound strength. this morning i woke up to body aches all over, from my stomach to my back to my butt to my arms and to my legs. it sucks. and the pain seems to circulate over to the right side of my body. sheesh.

econs test today was super hard. it was like ten times worse than summer test. i couldn't finish my essays on time cause i thought we just had to choose one question and only that. after like 45 minutes stil on the part a of qns 1, i just realised that i had to complete qns 2 part a and b as well. i don't have the habit of reading instructions. maybe i should start doing so. i didn't even do 2b. can you imagine me trying to rush my essay when my body was giving way. my palms started to sweat so i couldn't get a good grip of the pen. damn crappy.

i'm getting an f grade again. maybe the school should start awarding me for the most number of Fs consecutively in a year. trust me, my econs got f written all over ever since the subject was taught in march for the first time. i hate econs.

yay. i got a new tee and a new bag, without spending my own money. ayin came back from bangkok yesterday and he bought me this red vespa sling bag. it's super small which means i can't bring it to school then. but still, it's a new bag so i'm pleased. i bought an abercrombie & fitch white top. erm, my mom's money actually. it looks a lot like my other white top but this one's got light blue strips and that vintage moose logo at the bottom. neat.

i have tennis tomorrow at yck. i think the coach will scream at me for missing 5 lessons already. so i'm pretty much rusty right now and i will make a fool of myself tomorrow as always. sigh.

us open

oh no!! my butt-man lost his match!! i'm devastated. i actually watched the match live, you know at like 3 or 4 in the morning. and to see that he lost to blake was super heartbreaking. i feel like throwing up now. boo hoo. i'm so dissapointed. now i cannot see the butt and the super tight tees anymore. waahh!!!



i am so lost for words. and i am really really dissapointed with the result. i think rafa is too. who wouldn't be?



it's ok butt-man. i will still be here and support you in your future endeavours. vamos amigo!!
