stole this meme from pei's LJ

1. Leave me a comment(or tag) saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.

2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.

3. You WILL update your LJ(blog) with the answers to the questions.

4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.

5. When others comment(tag) asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.

pei's questions:

1) What is your childhood ambition?
It changed everyday! But to name some of the more frequent ones... be an actress, vet, or air stewardess

2) Last lie you told.
I told Mr Fundamental that i would be overseas so that i wouldn't need to return to the office to get him to sign my PTS report.

3) What was your biggest fight with your siblings about? Who won?
i can't remember. It was all mostly small ones. ermmm normally argue with one at a time. HAHAHA! My parents often talk about the time i fought with my elder sister in church. I was pri 2, i tink. I guess i went over the limit in pestering her. No one won coz i remembered that we both got punished by kneeling in front of the altar for hours when we got home!


4) Imagine yourself walking down a crowded street alone. What theme song would you give yourself?
For this scenario, Suede's Beautiful Ones. i need something upbeat to cheerfully walk with a bounce in my step!

5) If there was a fire and you have time to only grab 5 items, what would you grab? (Anything left would be burnt)
I dunnoe if Dash counts cos he's a dog but just in case!
a) Dash
b) My rosary
c) My wallet
d) My grey jacket
e) My handphone
f) My laptop cause of all the photos and schoolwork inside!

oh shucks tt's six.

Oh gawd. the new NDP song sucks big time. Whatever happened to the nice songs which the whole crowd can sing along to? The true classics, like "We are Singapore" and "Stand up, Singapore" are really the best. Cause everyone can sing lustily to the song and feel a sense of belonging! The new ones are just pretentious ones which are easily forgotten (just like the Harry Potter movies). And all the videos are the same... its
a) Shots of pple of different races doing things together. as they smile widely at each other.
b) Shots of singing celebrity mingling with the pple. also smiling widely at each other
c) Shots of children and old people. all smiling.
d) ending up with this shot of many photos of singaporeans smiling together.

Got so many things to smile about meh? if i was the director, i wud make a little more fun... say
a) Throw in a few shots of scowling singaporeans as they queue up at the Raffles City donut shop
b) have a slow motion sequence where people run to their cars as soon as they hear parking warden has arrived
c) Show how students throw away their books as soon as they come out of the exam hall!
d) end up with shots of the many slogans singapore has come up with.

Anyways! Ting act had to do a trivial questionnaire for some church function. So i decided to steal her idea (and 1 question). So, my dear friends, how well do you know Singapore?

1) Ting's question: Singaporean Guys are well known to propose in a certain type of way. What is this way?

2) Before Mediacorp rebranded itself, what did it used to be known as?

3) Singaporeans made headlines for the long queues formed where crowds queued for a certain toy McDonald's was offering. What was this toy?

4) In the 90s, Singaporean TV tried to come up with a Singaporean hero a la Superman. He worn a black suit and had his own TV series. What was the name of this hero and who was the actor who played him?

5) ECP, ERP, CTE, AYE, PIE
Which one is the odd one out and why?

6) Complete this phrase "______ of the Sea"

7) What does the red section in the Singapore Flag mean?

8) Complete this sentence talking about imports. "Last time cannot play with water cause water very expensive... Now cannot build sandcastle because _________ also very expensive"

9) The NKF scandal broke out when Durai was know to buy a certain product for his office. What was it?

10) The NKF scandal also made a certain food/snack name taboo to mention.. what was it?

easy right? i cant believe i could tink up 10 questions to ask!

Wheeeeee! it's been.... wheeeeeeeeeee! Join me as i do a little celebratory dance which involves twirling around in circles guranteed to cause giddiness! :)



no more morning crowds!

no more viewing really horrid displays of commuters not moving in/behaving badly/ leaning against the pole/ showing how little brains or manners they really have!

no more morning debates abt what to wear to work!

no more sleeping early so as to get up in a reasonably cheery mood the following morning!

no more vulgarities (yes, im really surprised at this one too.)

no more wincing as i hear some boss berating his employees..

no more Mr Fundamental! (this counts for DOUBLE)

no more aunty with her snide comments!



man! just typing out several "no more"s just made me wanna put my hands in the air (like you just don't care) and scream out in total, utter bliss!



the last week of internship passed surprisingly fast.. it was discovered that 2 other girls felt the same way abt a certain person in the company and we spent most of our last week in the panty/toilet swapping stories and gossip titbits. That was pretty fun. I'm gonna miss their lunch company coz it was really great swapping info on where to get good deals!



anyways! been really busy since internship ended (hence the lack of posts). ting and neela came back!!!!!! well booo for neela coz she had to go back earlier, so we couldnt hang out much. but i rather enjoyed her birthday surprise... heh.



See. Neela's bday had passed but we wanted to do something special for her. With everyone in favour, i managed to get a cake and it was decided that i wud arrive later with the cake (using work as an excuse) and pass it discreetly to the waiter. During dessert, we would get the staff to bring it out and then presto! BUT! neela was being a very very uncooperative person-who-wud-be-surprised. Pei, knowing that neela would be a nice person and insist tt they wait for me at the mrt station, warned me of the situation. Hence, it was in extreme desperation that i manged to conceive a total lie which neela totally swallowed. It just came out of my mouth that blue whale was gonna propose to ting for that very dinner, hence it wud be very unromantic to propose at carls jr, wasn't it??? :) And ting didnt know about the surprise, so sssshh. HAHAHA! hey! come on, ting's blog entry was just begging for it to happen la! No one greets me at the airport with a huge bouquet of roses! on one knee! skidding across the floor somemore!



anyways, Neela's face was GRINNING with such anticipation...It was totally fun to see her face twinklin from across the table as she anticipateed the appearance of blue whale. And i wish that i could have captured the shocked look on her face when she realised that she was the birthday girl! Totally captured the meaning behind the phrase "jaw dropped"!hahahahha!

and then to see her standing awkardly on the chair, weakly waving her sparkler(??) while fish and co staff did a birthday rap for her...



Something told me that ting may not appreciate the humour behind the blue whale lie and may even attempt to set my hair on fire once she heard of it. Hence, i made the (undecidedly) wise move of warning pei not to tel ting about the blue whale lie until after the candles had been blown!



Upon hearing that blue whale wasn't gonna appear to propose to ting, Neela was so disappointed that i felt a tad guilty abt lettin her down.. unless ting.... wanna live up to expectations? HAHAHA! At first, we couldnt believe that neela wud swallow the whole story until we rememebered that hey! this is neela... who believed that the canteen burned down during the one day she was absent from school. HAHAHA!



Of course, meeting up with JC people will mean bringing up embarassing memories which u try as hard as possible to forget for the remainder of the year. I even managed to forget about the whole loverboy business that ting had to answer for me! ooohhhh loverboy.. the very thought sends a chill down my spine! and not in a good way! more of "im-so-mortified-can-i-pls-erase-tt-part-of-my-life?"



Well, it was pretty awesome shoppin with ting.. She's one of the few people that i can really shop shop with. as in, drag her around the mall and into stalls to demand her opinion or to just idly try on stuff at random. Not to mention the amusement she provides one as one watches her face contort into agony as she contemplated buyin expensive tops which she looks gorgeous in. i don't think she found my "reward-thyself-for-not-smoking" contribution very helpful but hey! she found it equally amusing when pei had to go thru the same motions the very next day!



And shopping with ting is served with side titbits of gossip about dough boy and sugar boy. I swear, both of them are crying for a good sound spanking! We may have to send a cane to australia next.

In other news, i spent the whole of this afternoon in the very fruitful task of de-ticking my dog. See how well spent my time has been since the internship ended?? heh!

Round 0 of CORS starts on the 25th July so NUS peeps, pls do start bidding! I'm debating whether i should take

SC 2205 - Sociology of Family (Mon 2 - 4)

Okay gotta dash! Pics coming up soon!

after what happened today, i have this uneasy feeling that i will never ever understand middle aged men. One moment, they say something which totally contradicts everything, the next, they change their mind and the conclusion they manage to conjure up is just......... just manages to leave you reeling speechless as you try to fathom how on earth they managed to come to such a conclusion.

I think the true stars in this ordeal are my parents. The other night i came home in a fuming mad mood and once i got into the house, i burst out into an angry tirade, ranting incoherently about everything. And when i was finally out of steam, and the angry red haze cleared, i saw my dad with this petrified look on his face. The mere sight was so funny, i had to laugh. My poor father was probably wondering why
a) he wanted children in the first place
b) he taught me to speak
c) braces didnt manage to restrain my endless chatter.
It was rather evident that all the poor man wanted to do was to escape back to his computer.

And last night, as i was relating a tale from work, all i had to do was say "this girl who turns every topic back to herself" and they answered in a chorus "yeah *her name*"" Needless to say, im impressed! HAHAHAH!

Anyhoos... just blogging abt my plans after my internship.
After my internship, i'm gonna...........

laugh manically as i tear up the drawings, then BURN them and DANCE among their crispy ashes.
