current love. thanks to padackles (:

but it's ok cause bong brought hers. went to far east, heeren, taka and wisma, and all i got to show for it was a new hair clip. haha. but it's a pretty one, so that counts. haha. haven't maximised on the gss yet, which is kinda sad since it's ending soon. but then again if you don't see anything to buy... tried on the swan dress at mango, it's quite cool, what with the one sleeve and swan face thingy. haha. but didn't get it in the end, cause i remembered the words of yoanna house on the style network, "and remember, there's always a look for less", and in my current financial state, less is best :)

sch today was quite slack, ms champagne didn't turn up for gp class so had 90 minutes of free time, during which glen got his wallet taken away from him by wan ying and i ended up with $12. eventually had to give the 12 bucks back but oh well... haha. got updated bout the going ons of yesterday and how there's an agreement among the girls that the class should bond more. i'm definitely all for it. i mean we've grown quite distant and it's kinda sad cause we've been together for so long already. sure we weren't the most bonded of classes before but we knew what the good times were like, and i guess it's time we try to get back to that state. hope all goes well.

tmrw's another trip to bukit timah, this time to monica atteh's (still can't find the correct spelling to that word) house. turns out alot of lourdes cousins now have part of their lives revolve around bukit timah, emmanuel and nick live there, i study there and now angel studies there too. we're so gonna meet and have dinner at the pizza hut at bukit timah plaza. haha. need to prepare for another late night where we only get home at like 3am. better go catch up on sleep. heh.

watched the michael jackson memorial thingy yesterday. apparently every channel under the sun was showing it thruout the day. i thought i could make it thru the whole thing without crying, and i was quite close to achieving it actually, but then the daughter got on stage and spoke and BAM! the tears came. i seem to cry alot recently, i'm such an emo child. haha.

then the day before that was invest! it was crazy, as is everything i do with council, and it was bittersweet. shall leave it at that. so aft sch i rushed home, fell asleep and woke up to get ready to meet my relatives from the uk. was kinda nervous meeting ppl i had never seen before in my life. my mom was quite insistent we go and meet our uk cousins, so not like i had much of a choice in going. heh.

when we got there the first thing that struck me was how tall the entire family was. they're all like abt 6 feet plus. like woah. so introduced ourselves and realised that ursula was 16 and ben was 13. 13! he was like the tallest there la. omg. initially it was kinda awkward, but made small talk here and there. ended up talking to aunty jackie more than the kids. but learnt that they're utd supporters too (yay!). haha. basically talked more with them towards the end of the evening as we walked with them back to their hotel. got invited to visit them in the uk. so that's another place to add to my list. in the end was glad i went to the dinner, despite the fact that the place was damn cold, like teeth-chatteringly cold. haha.

oh yeah, yesterday there was the scholarship fair/exhibit thingy in sch. went around trying to get a better idea of what to do with my life, and collect freebies. haha. got some weird board game from the navy, sort of like a snakes and ladders kinda thing but there were squares indicating ass-kissing and boot-licking. i haven't actually tried it yet but it looks kinda weird. haha. the navy had the nicest goody bag, got new highlighters thanks to them. haha.

tmrw the girls are going out. it'll be full attendance, the first time in a long time man. better go pack the camera. haha.

ok now onto happy thoughts. went out with the girls yesterday. to the very ulu jurong point. never been there ever, and it's not hard to see why since i live so far from it. so wanted to maximise the time looking around the place. but in the end sitting for a 3 hour paper and the lack of sleep got to me, ended up preferring to sit around and stone. haha. but it's not a bad place la, esp since there's the gss now. til 26th july eh, better cover more ground soon. haha.

other than the looking around, had lots of fun just sitting and talking with the girls. it's a shame eunice and bong couldn't join us. that's why we need to have another outing soon. haha. it's awesome how we've grown so tight over the past one and a half years. love them truckloads man.

so today we had invest rehearsal for like 3 and a half hours. lots of walking, standing and sitting. aft that jun long, sheryl and i went to ps to buy stuff for handover. went crazy looking at art stuff. sheryl pretty much wanted to buy the whole of spotlight and daiso and the scrapbooking store. but in all fairness, they have the coolest stuff la. i feel so artistically inferior looking at peoples' scrap book pages on display. haha.

you know when i heard michael jackson died last week, i was like in such a state of shock i couldn't do anything else other than watch the news the whole day. when i was little, us lourdes cousins were obsessed with him, watching music videos and singing along to his songs. so even though he's been wacko jacko for like the past few years, our memories of him were the good ones. may you rest in peace mr king of pop.

man utd have finally accepted a bid for ronaldo from real. so he's pretty much gone la. for me it's like my head's saying, "good riddance you ungrateful bugger", and then my heart's like, "aww i'm gonna miss you". think this article sums up my sentiments perfectly;

as a fan of manchester united, which i have been since i was a little bitty girl, i totally get the policy that no player's bigger than the club, and that his incessant prima donna attitude was getting out of hand. heard he was causing problems in the dressing room too, so i guess for team morale he had to go. then there's the whole issue bout lack of club loyalty, why keep a player who obviously doesn't wanna be there?

plus there's also the money issue. 80 million pounds is a lot of money, especially in a recession. i think utd figured last pre-season would've been the last time they could hold out on real and get an even higher amount this pre-season. so financially they figured this will be their best offer. and this'll allow them to strengthen the team, which they'll need to do.

how do you replace the best player in the world? seriously he was, and could possibly still be a major asset to the team if he stays. the papers claim utd will need at least 2 or even 3 players to replace him, which is probably true, because honestly he's that good. when he isn't sulking on the floor aft the ref refused to award him the foul, he's actually quite exciting to watch. he brought such joy to my man utd match-watching process and i'll def miss him in the iconic red of utd. 

i have the man utd magazine from when he first joined the club, and the file of newspaper pics of him i've been cutting out, which sounds kinda stalker-ish but it isn't. haha. ok kinda put that on hold for a while but the pages are still there waiting to be cut, and i think i will get down to cutting them eventually, an aft a's project maybe. guess it'll allow me to look back and appreciate all he's done for the club in the somewhat short 6 years here.

so goodbye ron, it was good, well mostly good, while it lasted.

had cip on sat, was a marshall for bare your sole 2009. woke up at 5.20am to head to east coast. thank you sheryl and to your dad as well for picking us up! who knows what time i would've ended up at the venue without you. haha. so i was stationed with yi le, he directed the people when they first entered our zone, and i directed them out aft they made their round. at least i got placed with someone nearby, like practically next to me, cause i can't imagine how bored i'd be being stuck by myself at a spot. saw the fighting spider ppl, well 2 of them at least. yi le was asking if they were a band aft they walked past, thankfully i think they didn't hear him. haha. aft the walk they had a little performance thingy and i met jack and rai again! for those of you who don't know qing wei and i interviewed them for our pw. so went over to talk to them abit and thank them for helping us get an a. haha. met evil too! been seeing alot of her recently, first at floorball nats and now here.

then yesterday we had a surprise picnic for wan ying for her 18th. i think she was surprised, she's quite easily tricked. haha. so had fun eating and playing on the grass and with the trees. shall recount the funniest bit with the help of visual aids. ok below was what we were trying to do; (notice how calm she looks, and how the guys are smiling nicely)

and this is us (note the look of utter horror on wan ying's face as she gets closer to the ground,bong's supporting knee and our overly amused faces. haha)

in the words of the wise; epic fail. haha. love you anyway!
