oook !
i've booked my flight to jakarta from s'pore - dec 12th till 17th . :) yay , i'm quite excited now actually . flying lufthansa and there was some confusion with the CGK and the JKT . hmm , but that's sorted now . i think .
thursday is approaching and i'm finally going back ... i can't wait to see all of you guys again ! miss you all so much .

went to garbo with the 24G and tina today and i bought stuff . once again . -sigh- everything's just so tempting .
but i still have money saved up for the trip though , and my auntie gave me an angpao for my birthday . and no , it's not my birthday today but i won't be in perth for my actual birthday so the family had a nice dinner out just now - thai food is good .

at the next table , there was this sleazy-looking aussie man having dinner with his future asian parents-in-law . hmm . for starters , you could tell the girl's parents weren't too impressed with him cos her dad just sat there looking most unhappy for the entire duration of the dinner , and the mother was trying so hard to be nice to him . the poor guy doesn't get it , does he ? i mean who is he trying to kid . even strangers (like us) could see what an obnoxious man he is . can't even dress properly and he's really u g l y . at least pass the 4 criteria , would you .

anyhoo ,
halfway through packing and i'm already starting to get paranoid about leaving things behind . not so worried about packing too little , cos looking at my suitcase i think i've packed enough clothes . lol .

hmm . feeling kind of ... weird right now .
it's not possible that i am actually developing feelings for 24G is it ? oh dear . i have to say though , he looks extra cute when he smiles and he thinks johnny depp is cool . ahh . talk about excelling in the 4 criteria . well hopefully the POA will work , if not , i'll be content with just being good friends . hahaha .
but those who have seen him lately are quite shocked at how cute he has become . i.e. amy . "he's hot to trot !" (riiite , amy) .

well well . that's all i have to say right now .
going to go play some mindless miniclip games now !

there's nothing like bumming around at home and procrastinating . yeap , that's right : procrastinating . i sort of planned (notice how i said sort of) to start packing today , but then somehow oprah and passions seemed so much more interesting .

didn't get much sleep last night cos the cleaners came this morning , and so i had to get out of bed early . ended up spending the remainder of the morning sitting on the recliner reading 'stupid white men' by michael moore . quite an interesting read , i must say . i only enjoy the sarcasm and how he makes fun of 'president' george w. bush . apart from that , i'd say his outward appearance is kind of gross and he just looks sloppy and unkempt .

but of course , the day is not complete without one walking into a wall . yes you heard me correctly , i walked into a wall . good one lynda , a pat on the back for your intelligence . oh but wait , it doesn't stop there . i then proceed to injure my finger while putting my trumpet away in its case after some practice .

ah yes , christmas is definitely coming . mother dear is blasting christmas carols as she cooks . haha . but i do like the carpenter's christmas cd , it's very nice . i just find it funny how my auntie also plays their cd every single christmas without fail , and every single christmas (without fail) the cd will skip and then she'll say something like , "aiyah" . then my uncle will go change the cd to like bing crosby's christmas carols instead .

the other day , i was eating kueh lapis (aka the kueh with the multi-coloured layers) and i realised that no matter how old you are , you'll always eat it by peeling off each layer . haha . my mum said something about how they had this shared meal in church for rcia , and she met this old couple - who ate their kueh lapis layer by layer . lol . see what i mean ?

anyway , i must go now . someone is being a royal pain in the ass .

yay !! the wallabies won 21-19 !!
bed time for me .

night all .

greetings all !
decided to blog because i'm kind of bored and my house is currently infested with ants . it's really disgusting and i wish they would just all go away .

anyway , 5 days till i'm back in s'pore and i can't wait !! going to be squealing more than usual soon . i didn't even realise that i squealed until jo pointed it out the other day , apparently i squeal and giggle . a lot . good or bad thing ? i have no idea . i just know that i get excited easily , but i don't squeal and/or giggle as badly as some other people . (hopefully)

talking to my dear teefeenee now , miss that girl so much ! going to see her soon ... yay !! we have so much gossip and news to tell each other , i'm so excited .

damn .
i really wish i had money to spend . been window shopping recently and i've found so many things that i want to buy . -sigh- i hope leigh-san buys books from me so that i'll have some more money to spend . but still , it's fun going to shops and trying on clothes . i have this new obsession with getting a dress ! i really want one .

not feeling entirely happy at the moment and i'm not sure why . hmm . i want something really good to happen in my life .

mmm . minty , i've just brushed my teeth (just in case you would like to know) .
if you haven't already realised , i'm rather high on caffeine and i've been laughing too much so my tummy kind of hurts .
it's been an ... interesting night . hahahah .

the 24th of november shall henceforth be known as "the revelation of the 24G" . jo and grace have very kindly come up with the POA (plan of attack) . lol . but before i go any further , i'd just like to remind you all that all this was made up when we were all very high on caffeine and laughing like a bunch of mad people .

anyway , back to "the revelation of the 24G" .
it all started when jo was talking to marie the night before and they both decided that for any guy to be great and/or likeable , they should have the following criteria :
1) good looking
2) the right voice (i.e. nothing too high pitched and strange)
3) money
4) vanity
*now i thought there were 5 points , but i can't seem to recall one of them .

ok well . we now realise that someone we know has excelled in almost all of the aforementioned criteria . so that was what set off the , "oh my gosh!" "oh wow!" "ohh my gosh !"

hmm . i shan't elaborate anymore , but if you would really like to know about the POA (cos there's more acronyms ! i.e. DS, THA, WBA, SOL, OD) , come ask me personally and i might tell you .
to all the dear readers of this blog , i do realise how nonsensical this entire entry seems . i must stress once again that all this was made up when we were very obviously hyper and high on caffeine .

but probably the most entertaining night we've had so far !
tmr will be yet another exciting day because we shall be meeting thomas at garbo . hopefully he'll bring at least one good looking friend , so that we (tina , jo and i) will not be so terrified of having to stick around to have lunch and watch a movie with them . or worse still , WALK around garbo with them .

ok i'm done now .

retail therapy - i love . *grin*
i'm so happy , bought 2 tops and a pair of shoes just now .
ooh and dinner later tonight ... nachos ! i like nachos . nachos are good , especially when they're half-price .

hmm .
poor samson (the dog) is sick .
he's sneezing and sniffling . it's cute , but the poor baby . i feel so hot for him cos his fur's so long ... i think he needs to be groomed by the mimi the psycho dog groomer (from hong kong , no less) .

ah . feeling sleepy , hot and quite bothered .
think i might go nap before taking another shower .
freakin heat is driving me mad .

i say i say , great weekend !
a mixture of bumming around and going out .
had a very mini johnny fest yesterday at grace's house , we watched secret window and don juan . great movies (not to mention , very entertaining!) .

went to the beach again today and it was even better than friday ! haha . oh yes , we love our beaching alrite ! hmm it was funny though , cos jo left her house at 1.30pm and we only got to cott at 3 . but she did have to pick us (grace , sarem and i) up on the way , and we also got lost for a bit . haha .

anyhoo , big day tmr . going back to school to sign our clearance forms so we can get clearance (well duh , ok that didn't really make sense) . then off to harbour town to shop . and to finish the day off , we're going to zappatta's for half price tacos and nachos . woohoo !

*p.s. did i mention that i'm tanned now ?! i'm tanned ! finally . no longer freakishly white .

it's official . my happy mood is now ruined .
i don't understand . why is it that you never told me all of this until now . you wait till 2 weeks before i go back , where i will probably see you . so then what will i do ? just walk past and pretend i never saw you , or just smile and say hello - like there was nothing special between us . well if that's the way you want it , then fine .

i'm so sick of crying .
today was meant to be one of the happiest days ever . but now it just hurts like crazy and i wish i had some alcohol to make me feel (temporarily) happy and high .
oh joy , going to wake up tmr morning with puffy eyes and eye bags . let's not forget the zits and the flab either !

anyway , i've come to a decision : fuck all of this .
two more weeks till i go back to singapore - where i will have tons of fun with my friends ! miss you guys lots and i can't wait to hang out and wreak havoc . muahah .

it's over !! freee at last !!
omg , been waiting for this day for such a long time !! -grin-
the applic paper was shitty , it was so fucking difficult .

but the beach made everything good again . hahah , great way to celebrate i think . (*squeals* oooh yay , beaching !) my only complaint was that it was really windy and so sand got everywhere . was fun froclicking in the waves ! took some pictures and a very silly video of grace and me running around like mad people screaming .

anyhoo , dinner's almost ready and i'm going to treat myself to an ice cream . yay ! i'm so happy . going to do NOTHING tonight - woohoo , feels good .

(just realised how many exclamation marks there are)

how happy am i ! only ONE more exam to go - applic on friday .
went to bed at 12 last night and for some odd reason , i couldn't fall asleep . the only caffeine i had that evening was teh tarik at somerville cafe , and i didn't even know that it could keep me awake for so long . spent about 2 and a half hrs lying there , trying to fall asleep , until finally i decided to read my human bio notes since i was up .

put on my chet baker greatest hits cd and within half an hr , i fell asleep . bahh . irritating . woke up feeling like shit , but i must say that even after 2 exams , i did pretty well considering i only had 4 hrs worth of sleep last night .

feeling much better though - went to take a shower and i finally shaved my legs . so now i feel less like a greasy man .

anyhooo , must run . dinner time . mum cooked ribs - mmmm .

ahhh . econs is over ! funny how i came out feeling like i did worse than i did for the mocks . i think i kind of screwed up the essay questions . well , at least it's over ! 3 more to go ...

tmr : human bio and accounting . the two papers that i dislike the most . ohh yay . they're probably the only two exams that i really dread studying for .

shite . my tummy hurts - might have been the eggs . had a sudden craving for poached eggs and maggie mee . lol .
anyhoo , must be off . i should probably go study -sigh-

not in the mood to study

how convenient :
i was in my room doing applic (math) and then the phone rings . so since nobody else is at home i go out to answer it . isn't it just wonderful that the computer is right next to the phone ? lol . hmm so that's why i'm here . the other excuse i have is that i came out to keep the little doggie (samson) company .

the english exam is tmr - yay ? going to the library to study with jo later on , so it's not like i'm not going to any work . cos i will . i think we've both learnt from the last time we went to library and didn't get a single thing done (and this was a day before our english mock exam) .

oh and i know i told some of you that i would be going for a run this morning . hahahah . i didn't end up going cos it was raining when i woke up - funny that .

so anyway , i think i should go now . the math is calling out to me once again . damn , i thought it would just go away .

it's always difficult to say goodbye .
i think i speak for everyone else when i say that it still hasn't really sunken in yet .

anyhoo , i've got some pictures up !
link : last days at santa maria
just keep in mind that there are more to come :)

last day of schoool !! EVER !!
*jumps for joy*

there were supposed to be streakers today , but there were none . i think there were two groups of guys who came and both got told to leave . ahhaha . they were kind of dumb though , they parked outside the school gates - fully clothed . then they took ages to come in . it was amusing though , all of the year 12s were outside cheering for them to hurry up .

anyhoo . the dress up was successful and i thought my chest hair was especially sexy (and not to mention , VERY manly) . i'll put all the photos from these past few days up tmr or something - once the end-of-school festivities have died down .

hmm . today's been a good day so far ! we actually did lots of stuff during the day and it was most enjoyable . except that i'm still a little traumatised from seeing the male teachers very scantily clad .

okkk , must get ready for the valedictory mass and dinner . more photos !

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-edited-

the valedictory mass and dinner are over .
i thought the mass was very special and fr. gitner's really funny and i really hope the picture with mrs. pitos turned out good . it must've been tiring for her cos she had more than 100 photos to take .

ooh ohh !! the funniest thing during the handing-out of certificates . i'm pretty sure everyone else noticed how scary mr flexman's smile was . it wasn't scary in an eeks-you're-like-a-monster way , it was more of an oh-my-gosh-could-you-look-any-more-like-a-pervert kind of scary . to top it all off , he whispered into the mic as he called each girl's name out . talk about suggestive smiles . hahahhaah . i'm sorry grace , but it really was creepy .

dinner was good too . we started off the evening by switching nametags with each other (i shall now be known as joanne) . and yes , there were nametags at each seat . the food was pretty good , except that we had to wait ages for our turn to actually get to the food . i think the best part was the dessert though ! there was chocolate mousse . mmm ... chocolate mousse .

took more photos , of course . as soon as i get the other pictures from everyone else (i.e. TINA and JO) then i'll put them up on my blog . so till then , you'll just have to wait : )

well . i think i might go lie down now - the food is starting to settle . for all the other year 12s : we're almost freeee !! on nov 19th , we should all go down to the beach together to celebrate !
(even though i realise that tina has a jap exam soon after that , but nvm , a little sun never hurt anyone !)

awards night is over !! and it was a great success !! hmm i'm going to bed now .

ohhhh my gosh .
i'm so tired now .
wooohooo ! one more day and we're free from schoool !!

the bell rang at 3.10pm and all the year 12s ran out to the courtyard , where there was singing , dancing and screaming - for about half an hour . hahah . was so fun . but of course , some of us got trampled in the process .

gee that was fun . well , awards night is here once again . a whole year's just passed by so quickly . hmm . i remember awards night last year , with the godspell medley . and this year , we've got the journey . sounds cheesy , yes i know that . but it's not too bad .

anyhoooo . must dash !
