lotsa
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.

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 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.

shoes
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.

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
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.

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
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
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
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
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.

my dreams
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.

project runway
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.

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.
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 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.

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

rockstar/ mrt scare/ survivor
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.

safti
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.

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.
