i just heard mariah carey's "don't forget about us" and nearly died.
watched the mtv of gwen stephanie's "cool" today and boy oh boy do i know how the girl feels in the video.. it's one of the better mtvs i have seen though.
finally my oral presentation is over! yeah! though i must confess, on the friday where every other grp was presenting.. about 99% of the class girls wore striped shirts. which was ultra weird.. dun get me wrong.. one girl wearin a long sleeved striped shirt with hot black pants is nice.. but an entire class of tt uniform? gives the impression that some truck went haywire inside my class.. running over all the girls..pink shirt's presentation disappointed me terribly. coz i had great expectations of him since he is such a know it all and wanna be in the limelight all the time.. but.. he had this irritatin accent and he reminded me of my drivin lesson.. engine cannot start.. the poor boy put so many commas.. semi colons, fullstops all over his speech. and puttin it in the wrong places.. like "good morning *pause* everyone *pause* today my group *pause* will present this.... my *pause* colleague here *pause* mr felix *pause* lim will.."
what the fuck? im not saying i present well.. i noe i sucked. just saying tt it was mildy disappointing to see pink shirt's terrible performance.
hanwei is makin me very worried abt losing my memory. but i was gg thru my usa photos to pick out which ones to send him.. and wooah! i reallie did put on a lot of weight there huh? hahahhhaah! anyways! i was lookin thru the photos and remembering the fun crazy stuff we did there.. i dunnoe.. but when i hear the mention of houston, texas, my ears wud prick up.. dunnoe.. its like a fond attachment to that place. it was there i managed to pluck up enough courage to get on crazy rollar coaster rides(this of coz was my biggest accomplishment there). there, i surprised americans by being able to speak proper english.. how to be stuck all day at a cart wihtout a toilet or meal break.. the limits of my patience. how easy it is to bully me at a job.. how i look like when i scream (thanks to the many candid cameras placed ard the track. damnit)..
tt day.. when i was hanging out with pearlyn and jinyu.. i realised something. everyone noes im a picky eater.. need spicy food and all.. and everyone wonders how a blur useless case like me can survive for 3 months in a foreign country.. and i realised why. coz i had the guys takin care of me.. *shrugs* im lucky i guess. i was the youngest of the whole lot and most of the guys felt tt it was their responsibility to take care of the girls. especially the blur scatter brained idiot who served no purpose other than entertainment( tt wud be me).
im grateful ..
to hanwei for cookin my lunches and then bringin it to work..
to ian and jinyu for cookin breakfast (bacon and bread!) everyday.. and then patiently waitin for me while i rushed ard trying to find last minute stuff. and then pedallin furiously to work..
all the 603 guys for understanding how tired i wud be after work and then cookin sumptious dinners/ suppers/ midnight snacks for me to share in..
for the comfort and support they willingly gave when i felt that the workload was terribly unfair.
there were some good times..
For example, after we watched the star wars movie, i went crazy.. starting drapin myself in the blanket and waving a rolled up calender(i.e. light saber) all over.. i tink jinyu taped me jumpin all around to demostrate the action scenes. or the times when i wud be determined to read my book aft work and then i wud shut myself up in the room.. curled up beside hanwei's readin lamp (gawd.. i love tt lamp!) and sometimes.. i wud drop off to sleep without knowin it.. and the next thing i knew, i wud wake up with a blanket ard me.. my page carefully marked out and the book placed at the side.. or how we wud spend hours at the dvd store debating over the choice of movies! idiots made me watch scary movies and wud mercilessly laugh while i squirmed behind a pillow. *looks pointedly at jinyu* IT was scary at first. then it was anti climax! and remember hanwei's LOTR craze? I was groanin all over it..
how about laundry? i miss the dryer.. remember how ian was ironin his clothes during the first week? aft 4 weeks.. we never did see the iron anymore.. or how jinyu wud be like a camel. he wud sleep all day during the off days.. and then for the rest of the week.. he wud work.. then come back and play computer games till 3 am or so.. im not sure.. but still be perky at 8 am the next day.. imagine a perky jinyu next to a very grumpy adel. i remember slammin tennis balls to yujen till i nearly collapsed. or how durin the one time i cooked.. yujen helped me to prepare a delicious meal.. except tt he used the entire stock of sausages! hahahaha
oh! remember how there was once.. hanwei cooked for 5 people and only 3 people were left eating it.. we were stuffed to the max! no wonder i put on weight! i remember.. hanwei, jinyu and me.. had to resort to playing games to see who wud eat the last taugay! remember the all the work in packin up the laptops to go to the coffee house just for the internet? and the trips to the bank! i loved the coffee house! at least the lightin there was good.. not like the times we were squattin outside a block.. yesh we actually sat in a carpark.. between cars.. and balanced our laptops on our laps while we typed away.. all those bugs!
603 may not have been a perfect cleaned room.. but it was home. aft a bad day at work, u know that once u get back to 603.. everything will be alright.. just take a chilled beer frm the fridge.. eat dinner with the rest and complain like mad.. then take a hot shower. read a book and then go back to bed.
to all
6 flags mates:
So when you're done doing whatever
And when you're through doing whoever You know,
Denton County will be right here waiting for you
Come back to Texas It's just not the same since you went away Before you lose your accent
And forget all about the Lonestar State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
And I've got every slow dance saved
Besides, the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway
