dc says: sigh

dc says: dunno what on earth you all are paying for

oh-ho you are so screwed.

there is (was?) this one security guard at melville park that tread, no, stomped, on my toes one too many times. his name is...

TERROR-NCE. (terence)

he is one rude bugger, hurling his 'eh! STOP RUNNING! STOP MAKING SO MUCH NOISE! STOP THIS/THAT/ETC!' at my kids whenever he is (was?) on duty at the clubhouse.

i always tolerated him. yes, he's rude and talks to me like i'm a 15 year old. but fine. i will not lose it in front of the kids, i promised myself that.

by the way, have you seen me in a temper before? it's quite ugly. and i say pretty nasty things. sometimes maybe vulgar, if you can push me to that limit. i do not like this temper of mine, so i hold it, and become 'nice, girly and sweet vivien'.

i guess everyone is a nicky on the outside but we all hide an inner jessica. (watched Heroes yet? hurhur.)

so i held my tongue. twice.

until that one day, when he came into the games room and shouted at everyone. 'eh! do you all know you're making a lot of noise?'

oh come on man, this is the games room. if we can't make noise here, then where? the home, where neighbours will complain? or maybe the bbq pit, where neighbours will also complain?

at first he tried to beg. giving a tortured face, he feigned, 'eh, help me la, pls. management is still here, and they already chased some kids out for making so much noise, you know. i let u use the bbq pit la, you all go there la.'

then i reasoned with him, 'yes, i understand. but it's raining, and none of the kids (there were 15 of them) have umbrellas. and i'm celebrating a birthday, so we need a floor to sit on to play games. i can't do that at the bbq pit.'

him (using 'rules of the condo' now): 'oh, and there's a new rule. you cannot have more than 4 kids in one room. so you all cannot use the room, do you know anot. go to the bbq pit la, you see, i'm so nice already, let you use there leh!'

(omg, spare me. i can use the bbq pit anytime, i don't need your permission.)

me: 'really? i wasn't informed. look, if i'd known i wouldn't have tried to bring so many kids down. just let me use this place first ok?'

by this time all the children were running around already; i was shorthanded, and nobody was controlling them. then that guard had to keep trying to chase me out. i was so freaking frazzled i wanted to hit him. if you don't want the kids to make noise, THEN STOP TALKING TO ME SO I CAN CONTROL THEM YOU MORON.

he turned nasty: 'EH LOOK! IF I LOSE MY JOB THEN HOW?? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SAY? JUST A SIMPLE SORRY? HUH? RIGHT? ALL YOU WILL SAY IS JUST SORRY THEN EVERYTHING IS OKAY FOR YOU RIGHT?? RIGHT???'

right there, i turned into jessica.

if the kids weren't around i'd have gone over to punch him in his smug face. the kids actually quietened down for a moment, i think they saw my face.

i couldn't even talk to that scum properly. i wanted to scream. i can't even remember what i said, only that it came out in a shaky voice. you see, my shaky voice is the 'i freaking want to tear u apart' prelude.

i hate him. i really do. and so does my kids.

and guess what? i think he's quit, because he probably knew he was in deep shit after the games room incident. leaving before he gets a lousy testimony, i think.

(oh, aileen got shit from him also. my, my. did he piss off 3 generations of female christians in less than 30 minutes. me, aileen, and dellia. and swift action we did, to make sure he got all he deserved for screaming at us the way he did.)

oh, but after he quit, i think terror-nce got a job....



here.

in changi rise.

to him: you watch out... i was nice to you only because i'm not a resident at melville park. you won't believe how satisfying it would be for me to sack you personally. and how good i'd feel writing a complain letter about you.

revenge will be sweet.

AHHHHHHH

ok i will have to say goodbye to my home and say hi and NUS and NTU's lab this february. starting from tomorrow, actually.

-----------------------------------------------

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

1. Haunting by Anberlin
ugh, this song is really so good. i love every bit of it, from the nice solemn strumming of the guitar in the beginning, to the part when the rock out guitars come in, to the part where stephen ends off with a 'toooOOOOOooooo...' instead of 'tonight'. sigh. it's just the sort of depressive song that gets to me.

2. Can't Get Away by Third Eye Blind
i think he was talking about his previous relationship with charlize theron.

Through the airport corridors
In magazines in stores
If I see your face once more
Cause you know I can’t ignore it
I recognize that pose
When you bloomed like a rose

3. Dance, Dance, Christa Paffgen by Anberlin
listen to the bass. it's crazy. i will put it up soon. it's such a typical atypical anberlin number... like haunting, actually.

4. Salvation is Here by Hillsong United
hurhurhur. i think i started having a thing for bass notes since this one.

5. Time is Running Out by Muse
i love the bridge when he goes 'ooh ooh ooh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeaaaah...'

6. Attack! Attack! Attack! by Ejector Seat
hahaha i love the beat to this one. and the frantic banging on the piano keys. i love the mood of the song, it's so pained and almost losing it already.

7. Take It All by Hillsong United
my definite favourite crowd song. er, listen to the cd la, the crowd rapport is better in aussie than in my church. NM, I BELIEVE ONE DAY WE CAN WORSHIP LIKE AT HILLSONG CONFERENCES TOO. YOSH.

wow u know what? i think i've finally been weaned off hiphop. o_O

actually the only current one is Haunting, coz when i like a song, i don't have 6 other favourites. i just can't like more than 1 at a go! (this is said in a tongue-in-cheek manner. if you don't get it, never mind. *whistles nonchalantly*)

the seven others: (i have no idea who reads my blog AND has a blog, so...)
angel
xinwei (i know mel doesn't read NOR gives a crap to memes so... SKIP~)
chris!! hahahaha
alvin
angee
greg
OH! BINBIN!!!

old navyyyy

yes, can-can! i bought stuff from old navy!!

i show u ah... :D

and these are from classic closeouts. i think 8USD per piece. :D

and i bought tons of underwear from that place too. hahahahahaha!!

HFMD scare

was just thinking today was going to be a great day for cell group when aileen came in, all serious, and said:

'kids, we need to send you home now.'

amidst all the groans/whines/pouts she continued:

'yes, i will explain to you all why, ok? apparently, xxx got HFMD last week.'

you should have seen the faces of all the children.

*gasp!*

*shock!*

*gape*

someone even gasped, put a hand to her heart and staggered backwards.

they are such funny kids, i tell u.

well, so we sent them home and called all their parents. then one parent called back, all frantic, and said her child had rashes.

ok i'm not a parent, so i don't know much about HFMD (though now i do) so i went down to the clinic with them. thank God it was a false alarm.

i guess it did turn out to be a "good day" after all. i know to what extent i care for them. i was worried sick when the parent called; my goodness i was at such a loss.

and then i also had a very good talk with the girl's mom. i didn't have a great impression of the mom, but wow, now it's totally different. found out things about the family background and i could really tell that she loved her kids.

aiyah, can finally understand her. :)

edit: sorry ah, very tired out from all the worry. this was really what happened.

-msn conversation-

Ms. Meow : the margarita says:
someone really got hfmd last week

Ms. Meow : the margarita says:
then the mom didn't have my number so couldn't contact me

Ms. Meow : the margarita says:
so she rushed down at 8 to tell me just now

Ms. Meow : the margarita says:
but i was busy with other kids so she talked to aileen

Ms. Meow : the margarita says:
then aileen came in to tell the kids to go home lor

Ms. Meow : the margarita says:

Ms. Meow : the margarita says:
then heidi's mom called and she thought heidi might have symptoms

Ms. Meow : the margarita says:

Ms. Meow : the margarita says:
i seriously freaked out.

Ms. Meow : the margarita says:
then heidi's mom called at 920

Ms. Meow : the margarita says:
we went to see the doc tog

Ms. Meow : the margarita says:
FALSE ALARM

Ms. Meow : the margarita says:
so relieved can

Ms. Meow : the margarita says:
i was so worried

i finally have a free day to myself

slept for 11 hours. i am the incredi-pig.

had durian last night, finally! i can still smell it on my fingertips. but as usual, coz we're all not experts at picking durian, we got 1 superb one and 2 not so fantastic ones. actually, those 2 really paled in comparison to the first. my goodness, it was so good.

*nuaaaa~~*

i need more of that good stuff.

hmm i've got about 3 hours to spare...

watch grey's anatomy? (angel and xinwei, see what u girls have done to me!!)

read my papers for chem bio?

haha, maybe i should go ahead and drop chem bio; take tumour biology instead.

eh don't mind me, i'm totally talking to myself here.

I'M STILL WAITING FOR MY OLD NAVY STUFF TO GET TO SG!!! vpost is taking forever. *grr*

XIN-DUBDEW-EI U'D BETTER WATCH THIS.

jake gyllenhaal at his very best. :)

i (heart) Anberlin.

their new album is almost out! *GLEEEEEEEEE*

(feb20th feb20th feb20th feb20th feb20th feb20th feb20th!!)

and they're touring with Jonezetta!! \^o^/

ok, i have decided. i will plan my grad trip around the performance areas of either...

1. Anberlin + Jonezetta concerts (the concert's under Tooth & Nail Records i think)
2. Franz Ferdinand (if they're even touring)

don't laugh. i'm still whining about not going for Franz last year... grrr.

but then again, because of that i might be immortalised in a book! WAHAHAHAHAHA!! okok after it's confirmed i will blog about the details and force everyone to get it. heh. now not confirmed yet so i better not jinx it. *crosses fingers*

...

i know i just put up a new song (after what seems like, months) but already i've got the next song planned. anberlin rocks, really.

this is the song i'm so in love with. it's truly haunting.

---------------------------------------------

HAHAHA!! i misspelled 'haunting' and typed 'HANTUing'.

pretty much the same thing, no? hahahahahahaha!!

--------------------------------------------

ok yes, lyrics time.


Anberlin - Haunting

Up on this hill, in this uncanny house
The wind makes this place creak, the lights they are flickering
The moon she is lurking, the clock it stopped working
At a quarter past three
There's something dancing here in the shadows
And I wish it were us

You haunt me baby, you haunt me here tonight
You haunt me baby, you haunt me here tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Can't get your memory, off of my mind
Just want your heartbeat, on top of my mine
There's something dancing, here in the shadows
And I wish it were us

You haunt me baby, you haunt me here tonight
You haunt me baby, you haunt me here tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Up on this hill, in this uncanny house.
Your spirit I can't see, but I still believe
I can feel your breath on me

You haunt me baby, you haunt me here tonight
You haunt me baby, you haunt me here tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Up on this hill, in this uncanny house

hurhurhur i love my new dresses.

...

ok before u scroll down, the reason why i took these pictures was to show my mom.

coz i needed her opinion (since it's her money) on what to get.

this is $30... and SOLD OUT. WAHAHAHAHAHA!! (and also my favourite one out of the three.)
















look! no tummy! *glee* :D
















i've wanted a wrap dress for so long!!!! ok technically it isn't really a wrap dress, it's just a dress shaped like a wrap dress and has a sash thingamajig. it's $40.
















the picture below is the top of the dress, and a little bit of the sash thingamajig. (i love saying that. hahaha. thingamajig! thingamajig!!)

and, this will be my new year dress. coz it's 1. dressy, 2. RED.
















hurhur. i am really... really excited.

i have dresses!!! that fit me!!! whoop!!!!

ok anyway, i was wondering if i should get this too:
















it's got puffy sleeves~!
















it's $50 leh. but such a demure dress!

money money money.

the day before school term starts... and my laptop crashes.

from 3 guys: 'running windows XP on 256 ram?!??! hahahahahahahahahaha.'

yeah yeah, should've listened to u comp geeks.

but, hey, surviving on a 256 ram for almost 4 years... i'm pretty proud of my little HP lappie already.

so now, i'm $180 poorer for a 512 ram and 40gb of HDD, and doing data retrieval while typing this out.

it's pretty cool and geeky (to me) how ingenious it is to...

1. buy an external HDD in which the hard disk (gah, almost made this error again!!) is compatible with my laptop

2. remove the external HDD from its casing and swop positions with my corrupted HDD

3. use the new HD to run data retrieval from my external HDD containing all my old data

this is really the much cheaper alternative. at HP service center, even the guy at the counter suggested this method. data retrieval at HP will cost 100 per hr!! i do not have that kinda money man.

hmm... my ext HDD is making creepy clicking noises. *stares at it nervously*

plsplspls gimme all my data back. :(

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

on a brighter note:

ATTENTION TO ALL GIRLS!

i have just gotten 2 dresses from Vivocity, at this place called Nichii Fashion City. it's on the 2nd floor near the exit to Harbourfront.

ok u need to understand... i have short legs (hence long skirts are a nono), wide hips (no bubble skirts for me kplsthx), an incessant problem of a tummy (no tight fitting stuff but then i'll look like a tree trunk), and flabby arms (sleeveless stuff are the bane of my life. i'm 95% in sleeved clothing).

BUT! the dresses at Nichii fit me to a T.

i tried one. and i couldn't stop. i went back again today and the salesgirl in charge of the changing room recognized me! "haha! you're back again!" gahhh.

but oh my i looooooove their stuff. when i start work i will go there. and they use good material! it's not really dirt cheap. it's actually in my upper range already ($30-$50 for good dresses... by the time u hit the $50 dresses, the material is really good stuff).

all working ladies, pls just go there and take a look. esp angel, since vivocity's like, your happy place. but then again, i suspect u already know that place. heh.

but please! please don't buy anything turqoise + grecian or a wrap dress with red flowers; i don't wish to look like your twin. or create a fashion faux pas.

do take a look. i am like, bargain queen. and this has just become my happy shop. and i love their stuff more than mango/zara. seriously.

on stage! (still, more pictures from NYE)

teeheehee, went on stage to dance a little. i didn't win though! the girl who won is the girl in black. she's very pretty! :D



we were so bored waiting backstage that we started posing for pictures and jiving to 'grease lightning... oh, grease lightning!'








me and dennis doing our thang!! he taught me the dance moves, not the other way around... how cool is that?? he totally went on stage just for del and emmanuel coz he was actually extremely apprehensive about performing. he hates it, i think. hahaha. a father's love, eh? :D

photo madness outside expo hall 10

this was after the countdown. (only some selected pictures)

yep, i've got some more coming in. mainly the backstage pictures jun took and the ones during dinner.

can't believe these were my original outfits:

as we all get older by yet another year

yay it's the new year! i guess i will start blogging again... once i get some rest from the nye countdown at my church.

we went retro this year! pictures soon. i just luuurve starting the new year with God's people... and by remembering Him first!

oh, i didn't kiss anyone though. coz u know, you're supposed to kiss your beloved on new year's... some weird tradition of some sort i guess.

so... how did u spend your NYE? it might be representative of you. think about it!

ms loon is baaaack! *whoop*
