Yesterday I

Met Viv and went to Raffles City
Read stupid kiddy books at MPH (the bread must be haunted!!)
Realised Mun was at Raffles Place instead of City Hall
Met Mun, Lizard, Su
Listened to Lizard wax lyrical about her fortune teller (and sound like a complete lunatic while at it!)
Ate at Subway
Went to Third Place for Mosh.06
Saw Veron!!! (omffffggggggg)
Watched punkrock/emo/hardcore/whatevercore bands play
Saw Ben play
Talked to Ben
Got his demo
Ran out of the room and sat outside with Viv while grossssss AVA played
Saw people I know (yes this is rare)
Watched Spanish Fly play
Sat on the countertop at the mini cafe and watched Crossbred
Took a taxi back with Viv

I HAD SO MUCH FUN AND IT WAS GREAT TO SEE SU MUN LIZARD AND VIV!!!
Whoo I love you guys! :D:D:D

[and Lizzzard you are super loony, I hope your 'lucky numbers' really are lucky, REMEMBER ME!! if you strike lucky! x) ]

hehhehheh

The bra phenomenon

Robinsons is having a sale, and it's really packed. I went down this evening with my mum and brother to see if I could spend my Christmas vouchers, and well. Let's just say we didn't really hang around for long.

There were freaky aunties everywhere, grabbing, pushing, shoving, snatching, chatting, molesting the merchandise..

So anyway, we took a walk across the road to John Little, and there, sitting outside, was this biiig display of underwear and bras.
Noticing it, my mum gave me this poke and went

"See! I TOLD you Singaporeans have an obsession with bras!"

And well, it IS true! There's always some sale on bras going on. Any major departmental store would be having some "buy two get one free" special, or some shit deal like that. Seriously!!

I've noticed this happens only in Singapore.
What's up with that!

It's not as if there's some major rockstar passing through every weekend so preteen kids can buy bras to throw at them. Or even some 'auntie-killer' canto-mando-whateverthefucko-popstar popping by.

This is just too weird, kids.

Never tell Nigel anything!

OMG this is tooooo funny I had to post it here.

Never tell my brother anything!!
Once, at dinner, my father told my brother

"If you burn a cork, you can use the soot to blacken your face, as camouflage."

Well that steel trap mind has stored that, and look what happened tonight!!



By the way, he's campaigning for "FREEDOM", unlike "free dom", as you may be inclined to think.


Don't try this at home kids, all stunts were performed by a 'trained' 'professional'! Haha. I've heard it's hard to scrub off. But it does disappear pretty quick with a wipe of soap!

Psycho shit!

In other news, Kaiya has chewed his rawhide chew bone until one end has fallen off, and that end is wet, cold and squishy.
Random "EEEEEEEEEE!!!!"s can be heard as poor hapless victims unknowingly tread on the slimy landmines.

I tell you sirs, this house is maaaaaddd!!

I had the best best bestest dream last night.
I was sitting in the carpark area at the old school campus with all the other sec 4's of 2005, and we were collecting our O level results. So I glanced at my slip, and i saw it.

EIGHT POINTS.

omg I almost died. And when I woke up, I was stupendously happy, then I realised. It was alllllllll a dream.

sigh.

How I wish, I wish.

Anyway, the whole day I spent feeling like I was wrapped up in cotton wool. Like everything was dulled and sort of like I was underwater. Kinda lonely, too. And slightly sick, nauseous. Irritable too.
Sigh.
Maybe its the so-called 'post holiday letdown'.
or not.

whatever it is, please, make it go awayyyy
:'(

We like the moooooon!
(this is the reason for the title.)

Hello I'm bored and Dong is the Father of Bodom (Children of Bodom, get it? haha), and he's curing my bored-ness cause he suggested I post!
*Hey, hang on, if Dong's the father of Bodom and there're children of Bodom, then who the hell's Bodom?!
haha. I'm lame.

(and Dong I'm still bored hahahahahaaa)

Anyway, went to Overdrive competition yesterday, and finally saw Gazss play. Haha, whoever said they were Singapore's Skid Row, yeah man! I completely agree :D:D:D
Sadly, they came in third, losing to two metal bands! hahaha.
Oh you should've seen the metalheads headbanging, so cute/funny/retarded/spaz/all of the aforementioned, take your pick.
haha.

Ok pictures of Gazss are under "Nic's pics", or, if you're slow and don't know where that link is, you can link HERE!!
and there seems to be a sideways Dong on the cover! hahahaha


Viv says this is Happy Shaun, not Scary Shaun! xP

Ok I feel really slow now. Haha. Sad.

See, earlier tonight Ben came online and posted the link for Mosh.06 in msn, and asked me to go. But I told him I couldn't, since I'd already promised Dong I'd go for his gig at Third Place on the 30th.

So ok, like an hour and a half later, I decided to click on the Mosh.06 link, just to see what bands are playing this year. To my surprise, one of the first things i see is "location, Third Place."
Then I thought, wait, wait, Spanish Fly and Crossbred are playing there on that date.
Then! I look at the band list, and I realise.



It's the same gig.


Oh, I am slow!

Before I typed this I was trying to organise the torrent of words raging around in my head. It would be so much easier to be able to plug something into my head and print out whatever's swirling around, that way I wouldn't stress so much over how to phrase everything.
Because everything sounds different when you say it out, or in this case, type it out.

I had a million and one damn things to say, about whatever happened over the past few days and shit, but the moment I started typing I figured, who cares?
People are temporary, the world will end in a few million years or less, and we are living a cursed existance. Yeap, weep for the world and cry for civilisation, why don't you?

I sound so cynical and so jaded don't I? Well kids, I wasn't born like this. I've been forced and molded and wrung out and created into what I am now.

(I have no idea what I'm saying)

So anyway. Powers greater than me in this house have insisted I go look for another job instead of just waiting for the SSC to call me. Rawr. I've been bumming around, relaxing and going out and having fun, and I think it's just jealousy talking.
But I can't say that, oh no I can't, I'll get branded "selfish, conceited, full of myself" and whatever other negative thing you can think of.
One of those awful people who abandon their rabbits by the roadside? That works too!

I need to find a job.

No more guitar lessons, til I don't fucking know when. After Viv and I could've got the slot we wanted too.

I'm so sorry Viv. Really, I truely am.

I might as well sell off my guitar now. Cause I'll never be good, not with people who are against me learning and playing from day one.

Want to swap lives for a bit?
Want to swap lives forever?
Want to push me onto the road in front of an oncoming truck?
I don't mind.

This house may look beautiful, honey, but its occupants leave much to be desired.


And that's the honest truth.

I'm glad I'm going out tomorrow. (:

Also, Nig gets back from camp tomorrow. Whoo. Now I wouldn't have to try (and fail miserably) to fill his shoes in keeping the emotional stability of the house. Or whatever he does to keep people happy.
Thankgoodnessforthat.

I'm quite tired of trying to decipher every little nuance, wondering what it means, trying to figure out how to react, what mask to put on, what expression to reveal. desperately curbing my tongue so I don't talk back, but that never works. nothing works, sometimes I want to give up, give it all up.
jump, slit, swallow?
In frustration, this morning, I bashed my head against the wall. I don't know why I did it. Helplessness, I guess. I saw stars, and they were beautiful. Deep blue, but somehow shiny, ethereal, wonderful and more real than my existance on the staircase.

and then they were gone and all I had to remember them by was a throbbing, dull ache.

I think I'm going to go mad here. Someone, someone rich? Give me lots of money and fly me to my destination of choice so I can start a new life.

pweeeease?

Saw Saw? (two)

Saw 2.
WHATTHEFUCKINGHELLSICKTWISTEDDISGUSTINGDISTURBINGSHIT!
I'm so definitely going to watch the third one! if it comes out.
(Dong says June '06? I hope so.)

Anyway. Viv and I were watching it, and three quarters of the time we were like

"fuck fuck fucking hell sick shit what is his problem the sick fucking shit what the fuck oh my god shit fuck oh fucking eeeuw eee!"

haha. You can get the picture. But it was really cool too, especially the twist. I love the twist.
'Come on let's do the twist!'
Muahaha.

It has all the elements of a good show. The "hoodie man", the "pale girl", the "evil woman", the "pretty-but-slutty woman", the "emo-looking kid", the "mad stabber", the "sick shrivelled twisted shit with his smirk" and the "guy with the shot eye who died first".
hahahaa.

Hello I'm a year older, how about you?

What a great pickup line hahaha.

Today was great, just great! (((:

First, Viv came over! Whoooooo. Thanks for the Starbursts! (pimplegummies! LOL) and the card and the Borders card wheeeeeee!!!!

Then I went to meet Shaun and Shaun is really so so sweet ah ah ah ah!
Thanks baby I love you (:

I had a mini-surprise party, and everyone was just wonderful :D:D:D
haha I seriously love everyone today!

I had my birthday cake today! A small one from Awfully Chocolate.
And it was Awfully Nice! haha.

Had it early cause tomorrow Nig has a band performance at Lau Pa Sat (Did i get the spelling correct!?)
Yes, Nig will be blowing... his trombone! for the oldie hawkers.
So anyway, as Nig will be away at band camp on my birthday, we had the cake today!

As I blew out my candles, I thought frantically of a wish. But I couldn't think of one straight away. I just thought of my wish now, so I hope it still counts! haha.

I hope it comes true. I can't tell you what it was, though, or it wouldn't. Haha.
Hey don't mock the power of the birthday wish, cause what I wished for last year came true. Yes it really did. And last year's wish was a wild wish. Really, seriously. But I didn't wish for it with my cake. I wished the wish after the cake, at night privately. And I can't tell you what it was heh.

Anyway, whatever. I'll do it again this year and hope it comes true again! hahaha.

I was reading the classifieds today, out of sheer boredom, and I chanced upon this gem of a job advertisment.
It killed me! haha

Quick, your prata's burning and the customers are whining!

Anyway. Kaiya's so cute. You're just jealous that you don't have a cutie patootie dog like Kaiya! Nanny nanny poo poo!


yes I'm still very bored.
I'm turning into a myspace whore, I think.
It's filled with emo kids.

save me.

There's this band named Patent Pending, and they've got a song called "Cheer Up Emo Kid"
Patent Pending is a ska band. Well, it IS ska ok it sounds like punk but there's brass in it.
Oh who cares the song is ubersupercute. haah. Ask me I'll send it to you.

HAHAHAHAH IT'S SO CUTEEEEE OMFFFGGGG HAAHAH

In other news.. Lucie has turned into this biiiig bread muncher. Haha I think she picked it up at Viv's, now when I give her a bit of bread she stuffs it in her cheek pouches and looks around for morrrrrrre!
Play "stuff the hamster!"

muahahaha

haha. Yes it's very cute.

Another sentimental argument and bitter love.
freaked without a kiss again and dragged it through the mud.
Yelling at brick walls and punching windows made of stone.
The worry rock has turned to dust and fallen on our pride.
A knocked down dragged out fight.
Fat lips and open wounds.
Another wasted night and no one will take the fall.
Where do we go from here?
And what did you do with the directions?
Promise me no dead end streets
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road.

"Worry Rock"
-Green Day

Viv's gone today!! Booooo.
Have fun in Sydney, leftypal. Bring me back an aussie surfer, and bring Dong back his beaver girlfriend!
muahahahaha.

"Everything I Once Had"
-The Honorary Title

Everything I once had
The bar on 1st Avenue, we went there solely for you
So you can flirt with my best friend
Kiss a girl, tell me why you're laughing

I won't hold on to this
There's a hole in the trust that we mapped out
In my bed for six long months

February, Valentines Day
Did my best to avoid the red cliches
So you dumped me on the subway
On my way to work at 9 in the morning
Everybody else is holding bouquets
Now I'm holding my face in the basement
Scratching away for any trace
Of affection you will leave
Falling victim as the publics prey

I won't hold on to this

Anyone is suitable for you, I guess, tonight
You weren't fazed
It's over with
You my beautiful
You weren't fazed
It's over with you my beautiful
With your beautiful blue and white

ah I so love this song, listen to the singer's voice, it's really sad. haha. Feel what he's feeling, and you may just cry.
That's what makes something good to me.
Emotion
Feelings

The song's jumped to the second-most-played song in my iTunes. No mean feat, I assure you.

Ok the pictures from Friday are up. Haha. Retardedness.

here.

And I got a guitar stand for my bday from my mum. I haven't adjusted it yet though haha.

Oh and I was so bored I painted Kaiya's nails! They're bright blue and will be bright blue for Christmas too! muahaha.

look at those fuzz feet!!
you can see his nails in the dark, awesome!

Ok ok I'm here to blog about yesterday. Cause Viv's a naaaaaaaag!! Hahah. It's more like my fingers are lazy and I don't have diarrhoea of the fingers yet. It'll develop though!

Soooo. I met up with Viv at Serangoon station and we took a train to Harbourfront. After lunch at Subway and many many phone calls and messages from Dong and Su, Viv and I managed to get Su over to Harbourfront too.

AND SU WAS WEARING A SKIRT!!! That's a moment I'll savour for the rest of my life. Heheheh.

After that, we headed over to Sentosa and played "tourist" for a while. We got bored of it soon though, and after deciding that we wouldn't pay $10 to see Mun in a santarina suit at Images of Singapore, Viv, Su and I went to Palawan beach to catch the gig.
And the beach tram driver is either Su's or Viv's (or both) best friend! hahaah. It was really kinda funny. Stupid trammy driver.
Oh and there was this angmoh family who sat behind us in the tram and I realised that they were the same people in front of me at the airport taxi line when I got back from Bali!
Yes, Singapore is waay too small!

Ok Dong is going to love me here haha but seriously, Spanish Fly was the best band that played! Yes, I've put aside my bias-ness to give you a frank opinion. haha.

Blow And Go baby!

During Aphro's set me, Viv and Su went off to meet Mun, as Mun was LOST! Ha. Su was emo-ing and Mun had to get back, so they left on the NEL and Viv and I went to the Mcdonalds at Harbourfront to have a (late) dinner, and we were shortly joined by Dong and co.

And I shot Viv with Subway straw wrappers and ice from Mcdonalds! (And thanks Dong for getting me even MOREEE ice muahahah)

So. Good day?

Yes very, very, very! :D:D:D

Oh and FINALLY! Dong has admitted my hair is LONGER THAN HIS MUAHAHAHAHA.

I was on the plane!

I don't have many shots from Bali, cause I didn't have my camera with me most of the time (stupid Nic!) But I didn't wanna leave it on the beach or unguarded by the pool, so..

Anyway. Pictures here and only here!



Yes I went parasailing. It was sooo awesome! Dude! haha.

and that's my landing commitee. x)


let's go surfin' now


everybody's learnin' how..


Dad's a bum


and the kids are retarded
(we just came from the pool!)


And you better stop oggling my butt you perv, look at the shorts! haha.

Hard Rock Hotel Bali!

I think my dad has more pictures, which means you'll all see them in seventeen-thousand years. Muahaha. I'll post them when I get them!
