i had this horrible nightmare involving OM. i was in the school hall, with sum friends. and then sya nudged me and hissed, "OM!" so i looked up, and yah, he was in the gallery. and there was setan and lumut and xfren and whoever elses. k, so after looking at him for awhile, i went back to normal life. then suddenly i heard lumut's voice, it sounded like he was reading something out loud. and it turned out he was reading a whole page of stuffs i'd written about OM!!! i diden dare look up for a looong time, and when i finally did, only xfren was still there, sniggering at me.
ee. what. a. horrible. dream. to pay me back for today, no doubt.
speaking of today, i watched chicago. itz not tt great. acherli i was sooper bored alot of the time. maybe cos i like colourful. and the movie is too.. dark-and-light-contrasted.
argh i still hafta do application qn!!! annoying shit.

yest there was sum article in the new paper about this graffiti-like poster found at chinatown mrt, tt caused people to panic. wanna know why? it wasn't the likeness of a man in a helmet, which was the focus of the poster. it was the arabic words written across the top. they interviewed sum arabic teacher and he confirmed they were arabic letters, but tt they din spell out any coherent word. okay, i could be totally off the mark here, but i'm pretty sure the letters spell out SIAL. so. yes. nothing to be panicked about, really. i mean, itz juz a minor expletive. although ttz too strong a word to describe it, really. anyway, do check it out. i'm sure if it were sum chinese characters, no one would give 2 shits. but really, people. there ARE chinese terrorists in this world. what if i dropped a book written in arabic? wld i get arrested because of the unstable nerves of some manjen? PLEASE.
i watched ella enchanted just now!!! i went with filza, we wanted to go to lido but bad showtimes, so we ended up watching at TM. haha. and on the train there was this guy who i HONESTLY believed was akil!!! but i was too skared to ask. ohwellz. on the escalator down from tampines mrt, i was like, "plz let me see hichael." but nooooo.. no hichael, unfortunately. but i met yan outside century square! hahaha.. we were like, hi.. hi.. hi.. bye.. i wanted to talked to her, but i din know what to say. haha.
so anyway. ella enchanted was soooooooooooo nice! i was HOW dying!!! anne hathaway is lovely, the prince is cute in a messy way, and parminder nagra [or whatever her name is, from bend it] is incredibly sweet!!! and it combines elements from cinderella, sleeping beauty, snow white, and everything tt was ever written about ogres and giants and elves and fairies.. oooh and the SONGS! the song tt ella sang at the giants' wedding was sooooooooooo nice!!! and funny! the transvestites chorus cracked me up! tt was like my favourite scene. and there's a nice musical finale at the end.. really lovely. not to mention the interesting blend of modern culture and victorian elements, and the sheer colour spectrum the movie transcends!!! colour is like a mandatory requirement with me. this is like a romantic comedy for the young at heart! ..or something. anyway, if you're anything like me, watch it!

Saturday, July 24, 2004

i woke up at 730 this morning. haha. y? cos i fell asleep at 4 yest. haha. watched freaky friday [yes, on a friday.] and then went to sleep. wat a boring day. but nice and cool and all. watching rugby now. never knew so many cute big guys existed. bye.

i just finished messing around with my photos.. now i haf a new wallpaper--woohoo! and a couple of other fotos for fana.
anyway sputnik sweetheart [by haruki murakami, translated frm jap to english] was so nice i thot i'd write sum stuffs here. okay, so there's this guy, he's in love with his best friend, Sumire. but SHE'S in love with her boss, this thirtysomething woman called Miu. anyway Sumire and Miu go on this pseudo-business trip to Italy then Greece. and Sumire tells Miu tt she likes her but Miu is just not a lesbian, so Sumire is rejected. and that very night Sumire disappears. Miu gets this guy to come to Greece to help look for her, but they never find her. and they're forced to go back to Japan and lead their normal lives, but the poor guy kan hardly function, he misses Sumire so much. and he'll just sit by his fone every night, imagining Sumire calling him from the phone box near her home [she used to have no residential fone], dressed exactly as she was a couple of years ago, when she used to kall him at 3 a.m. or thereabouts. until one day the fone DOES ring. and itz Sumire, amazingly. before she hangs up again she says, "And I really wanted to see you, too. When I couldn't see you anymore, I realised that. It was as clear as if the planets all of a sudden lined up in a row for me. I really need you. You're a part of me; I'm a part of you. You know, somewhere--I'm not sure at all where--I think I cut something's throat. Sharpening my knife, my heart a stone. Symbolically, like making a gate in China. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
yeah. itz really nice. everyone shd read it.
suaner was dangerously close to me in econs lec just now. haha. well i really haf nth much to say. bye.
Yest tilani was in d train. Haha. I think he finishd ns. Neway it was fairly fun yest, lotsa colours, sounds n faces. N one of d vs guys wore a black baju kurung, which soothd my outness. N in 81 home, dere was a cute guy, reminiscent of ammar, wearg another black baju kurung. N he lives really near me! Btw tilani, i mean haresh, is here n he has a hockey stick, so like wow, hez going for traing!

Monday, July 19, 2004

yes i forgot to mention.. guess who showed up in skl last wednesday with cikgu as we were walking away from the cupboard? hasan and muslim!!! woohoo!
anyway. i got my OBS letter back today. yes. finally. itz postmarked 17 july. so yea ttz really late. well itz back, at any rate. and i was doing all sorts of little tasks to avoid reading it, acherli. but finally i juz forced myself to read it. i slit open the envelope and read it. and yea, juz as i feared, it contained copious amounts of OM-related stuff. it was prolly like 50% of the letter or smthg. how. annoying. the most annoying part is tt it wouldn't be annoying AT ALL if the friggin photo had juz come out. -catatonic- but who am i to question God's will. "I can't believe I'm sitting here with the ants and mozzies and grasshoppers and worrying about ****[capitals]. But like I sed, one of my goals here does involve him.." and in response to tt excerpt, may i juz say tt i can't believe i'm sitting here with a gp essay to do, and exams to think about, and worrying about him still. i honestly don't know whatz wrong with me. sigh. these days, OBS seems to come back to me more often, and more effortlessly than ever before. why is that? i really don't care to think about it, but if i ever have extra thinking time, i think ttz one of the things i shd be thinking about.
so. tt concludes OBS for now. i kan still hear my brother strumming my dad's guitar. yes my brother is now on this guitar-playing kick. another of his cool-noble pursuits. itz kwite funny really. and takes some getting used to. i mean, i'll be waking up from a nap, and i'll hear this like, bass-ish tune, and i'll get disoriented, then i'll realise itz coming frm my own hse!!! haha. okay not funny, acherli.
i finished reading sputnik sweetheart. yes even tho i juz started it today. now we know what i do on the bus instead of studying. itz really nice, about this guy who's totally in love with his best friend [a gerl], but the gerl doesn't know it [of course], and anyway shez in love with this older married woman [but of course! it was so obvious!]. and one day she ups and disappears while on a getaway with the woman in greece. well, my catty comments aside, itz a nice book, really.. compelling, if ttz how you put it. itz like, you want to read every single word on the page, drinking everything in. really nice. don't let the title fool you. it has almost nothing to do with the sputnik sattelites. it was juz a topic of conversation btwn the gerl and the woman. but itz a really surreal book. seriously.
funny. i had so much to say just now. itz just tt by the time i get home, new thoughts take over and these days, there's not much room in my head so the old thoughts just get shunted away to the dark rubbish dump corner of my brain, never to be retrieved again, except maybe in that teeny space between sleep and dreams.
ella enchanted opens this week. meaning i'll watch it next week. kan't wait! i've been waiting for 2 months already!

Friday, July 16, 2004

i just watched the joy luck club. nice! itz really interesting and so so sad. all about mother-and-daughter relationships, really. haha. somehow tt reminds me of shafa. now i'm watching nip/tuck and it is getting SO scandalous i think it shd be removed from the tv waves! ha. but i still watch it, so who am i to recommend tv reforms?
anyway, ttz really not the event of the day. it'd be the ultimate greek god we met at jiahan's condo this afternoon! he is HOT with a sizzling H!!! okay, so hez neither greek nor a god. but. he has a great physique, a bronzed bod [which is, btw, past the boundaries of golden, and which i would kill for], a great head of dark hair with strands of gold, and great patience with kids!!! not to mention the fact tt hez handsome, and falls under the category of O in CIMO [hez eurasian]. ANYWAY, hez acherli this swimming instructor, he was there to teach this 3-yr-old boy, and he was patient, of course. even tho the boy kept having to go pee. guess where he peed? the shower! the OUTDOOR shower, i might add. and there the security guard was, verifying our student status. whatever. yah so anyway it appears tt this might be a weekly thing, and it starts around 3 and ends around 4-plus.. on fridays. haha. we've decided to call him mercury. for subtly obvious reasons. hm. wat else. ohyah he SO knows tt hez hot larh! he kept turning to like, stare at us! yargh.
we also had dikir again. altho i was like one and a half hrs late, it appears i diden miss anything. sheesh. then we went home, met andrew fang at city hall, and he was totally amused at nadia!!! haha. cute. nadia, btw, was high on like, mac's or smthg. she totally died at the prospect of OM having a big butt. like, !!!!
oooh n yest we had dikir also, and sayur and tt nice softball guy [darn i forgot his name again!] are also in!!! woohoo!
wednesday we did cip at salvation army. it was so fun!!! great place to shop!!! i had only 3 bucks to my name so i juz got an MHC. one of her earlier ones, i think. hardcover. i'm so excited to read it! but first i have to finish the 2 library books. on top of doing my gp essay, etc.
tt shd be it. since i forgot what happened last week anyway. nitez.

Tuesday, July 13, 2004

i was too malas to go online, but i might as well since i'm supposed to stay awake. haha. i fell asleep during smallville, ttz how tiring pe was! but now itz 10 things, which is what i'm really staying awake for. as of this moment i have about an hour to go. till i can finally fall asleep.
okay so fiestari was okay. i prayed for us to get thru it successfully, and we did, by my standards. almost perfect execution. xcept for the un-completeness of the steps. ohwell. there was a cute guy from gan eng seng sec, teeny eyes, nice tan, spiky hair, medium-tall. unfortunately he has a gf. he was talking to her on his phone the whole time after the comp. like all the way to amk mrt. so. yah. then we ate at amiran's. the service was even worse than the last time, if ttz possible. i was all ready to barge into the kitchen and take over the cooking myself. i also displayed my amazing brainiac skills when i figured out who the pretty tudunged girl sitting at the next table was. after confidently declaring, "she's probably on tv or smthg.." i ran thru names of rj alumni in my head and hissed, "thalha! sharifah thalha!" haha. she was the girl who connected with baba during rj phr over their nicknames [baba and aha or smthg]. anyway, she was so nice, she acherli came to talk to us and asked our names although she diden know who we were. i also met my sister n kumara in a coffeeshop in the next lorong.
and lauk just looks better and better every day. i could not tear my eyes off him at the specs gall just now!!! haha.
Eh i forgot to add. After d movie i saw frappe. W his gf, of cos. N he smiled at me again! Hebat! I mean it was so crowded but he still noticed me! Woohoo!

i'm SO hungry. haven't blogged in sumtime so i'll go reverse chronologically.
spent more time in the library today. i'm really beginning to like tt place. espesh when OM pays a visit. haha. then filza finished pract early as usual so we went to mac's. "steven teo" has finally changed his nametag. his name is ruddy. wahahaha. he is HILARIOUS. i kan't get a straw without him saying hi. but itz really nice to have a friendly face around. hez so full of crap itz funny after all. after econs lect we waited ard for shaf, then we went to lido to catch mean girls. it is SO great! colourful [everyone knows i love colourful movies], hilarious [Amanda Seyfried's Karen is reminiscent of another bimbo we all know and love], the representation of high skl life is soooo cool, and the cute guys pop out at every corner!!! the obvious one would be Jonathan Bennett's Aaron, of course. but i absolutely have the biggest crush on Rajiv Surendra's Kevin Gnapoor!!!! he reminded us ALL of a certain ex-fren, and yah guess what he said to Cady? "Sorry, but I only date coloured." Like wow! SOME people cld learn from tt!
i'm really hungry. be back later.

Wednesday, July 07, 2004

i'm still really sleepy, the eyebags/rings are horrible.
anyway guess what i found in the library today?!?! princess!!! by jean sasson!!! the prequel to princess sultana's daughters! itz really great.. eye-opening.. painful.. and i get to find out things about my own religion i never knew, being a non-alimist myself.
we got the costumes today, after not less than 9397521 mozzie bites, 2 hours of waiting, and staring at costumes colourful enough to shame a rainbow. there was another group of gerls from north vista sec.. 6 of them.. all minah-ly dressed and stuff. but they were nice and funny, acherli.. although they talked like mats!!! funn-ay.
ohyah therez this new show on disney channel, itz kalled my wife and kids, and the guy in the lead is soooooooo cute!!! hez like extremely adorable.. with a shiny bald head. wahaha. but yah he makes even tt look good.

Sunday, July 04, 2004

had a great time at ili's hse.. watched endless movies, and had dinner at pizza hut. most of the conversation appeared to revolved around burger, interestingly.
yest we had tarian at rgs. i was late because of my utter stupidity. i also had to pay $1.40 as a result of aforementioned stupidity. ANYWAY. after tarian, we all took 105 to far east, and guess who was at the far east bus stop??!?!?!? one hint--hez dark and handsome. wowz. of all places, at all times!!! he was with fazly and whoever-elses. haha. anyway, then while we were in starbucks, we saw shafa with her mom waiting for the lift!!! cool sey. judging from the bags, they were shopping. and judging from where they were at tt point, i'd say they were going to eat at jon's salon. haha. how nice. baba and i were sighing for hours afterward, wishing we had even half of tt.
then we went to bits n pieces, got baba's ear pierced again, then we joined the guys at topman. the shirts are soooooooooo nice!!! and the labels are so cute, they say things like "GOING OUT" and "SMART". so cool. and guess who else we saw in there? [besides fiona xie, who, btw, was sporting a to-die-for golden tan.] HL guy!!! you know, hair-library guy?!?!? his hair is back to normal, thanks to ns. haha. so yeah hez still cute. and on the escalator down there was air, but without lauk or nasi tt means nothing.
and today i've been stoning around all day. if my plan goes well i shd be able to watch 4 movies: matilda, he sees you when you're sleeping [this way-cool Christmas book of MHC, print-to-screen], clueless, monsoon wedding [i will never tire of tt movie. i lurve rahul!], and maybe 30 minutes of the un-scary Americanised version of the ring.
btw, isn't matilda set in like, England? why is it set in the US now? how. annoying. oh and the younger matilda reminds me of fatin. as in, filza's little sister. so cute and white!!!

Friday, July 02, 2004

I keep seeing these beautiful little boys n gerls. But more boys than gerls. Haha. N they're so cute! This is an attempt to make me un-hate noisy kids.

Thursday, July 01, 2004

today started out great, acherli.. did anyone else notice the dark morning sky? it was soooooooo dark and cloudy, but with streaks of light.. really beautiful in an alternative sort of way. haha. well since it looked like it was gonna rain i decided to take the early bus instead of skipping it. and as a result i spent the bus ride staring at burger's hair. and then, when i was walking in, i saw lauk!!! woohoo!!! haven't seen him since econs.
and 5 minutes before chem started, decaf appeared in the aisle, and i was wondering why he was sesat there.. he was just pacing up and down.. then he said to someone, "oh she doesn't take chem?" then he ended up standing next to me and he sed, "can u pass this to her?" and disappeared as quickly as he came. so i managed to squeak out, "oh.. thanks!" to his retreating back.
chem itself was fine. i think. as usual, i couldn't finish the paper. itz okay. the last time i could acherli finish a paper was in secondary school. those days are long over.
we went to watch spiderman 2. but sometimes the process is more important than the product. as in, we took 111 to orchard, with what seemed like the REST of the school. practically everyone in the bus was frm rj. how cool is tt? itz like an excursion on an SBS bus! then hana msged to tell us that ex-fren n frens were buying tix too. which led me to lead filza and ili in a briskwalk to lido. haha. we caught them at the bottom of the escalator, acherli. OM, ex-fren, decaf, latte. anyway then we hung out at lido till 1245, and hana n i went to the toilet, and we saw them going back up!!! this time it was OM, latte and--wait for it--*KILLI*!!! woohoo! he has bad hair, though. anyway yah turns out they were sitting 8 rows infront of us.. jauh giler. ohwell.
okay itz time.. spiderman 2 spoilers ahead... itz more than 2 hrs long, which is great.. itz really painful at first, seeing him struggle with his job[s], his [non-]love life, his financial worries.. and suddenly he loses his powers, his eyesight worsens again, he somehow goes back to being plain old peter parker minus spiderman. itz really sad when he throws away his costume in the trash. and on the romance front, MJ is engaged to this lembek-looking guy, who's also sum astronaut and the son of the editor of the daily bugle. this guy will give u mixed feelings. he appears cute at first, then somehow looks more and more gay as the movie goes on. harry osborn is suddenly cute. like wow. he still hates spiderman, though. and peter tells aunt may how he was really involved in uncle ben's death. there's this cute neighbour of theirs, hez apparently 9, his name is henry jackson, played by jason fiore-ortiz, maybe he'll be someone major in spiderman 3 if anyone else realises how cute he is. and dr. ock acherli starts out as a really nice and likeable guy, itz juz those mechanical arms that take over him. sad, tt. well, anyway, one day peter gets his spidey powers back. ohyah itz when hez in this cafe with MJ and hez trying to lie that he doesn't love her. and ock bursts in. and grabs MJ. so what else is new? if the police haven't made a connection, they must be really dense. well in the process of rescuing MJ and saving NY from a fusion experiment of ock's tt is about to go wrong, spiderman reveals his identity to a whole compartment of train passengers, plus the driver, harry, otto octavius, AND MJ. needless to say, MJ is saved again. dr. ock manages to regain control over his mechanical arms and redeems himself by drowning his experiment [read: the only way to destroy it], and himself in the process. but wait! itz not over yet! MJ's still engaged to the gay guy, remember? so she deserts him at the altar [ha! in your face!], and runs all the way to peter's apartment in her wedding dress, smiling. and hez standing there brooding in the balcony, then he turns around and sees her standing in the doorway. and she says, "I have always been standing in your doorway.." she's willing to take the risk of being spiderman's gf, so of cos they end up together. FINALLY! and the prelude to the next instalment is tt harry is standing in the study or whatever, and hears the phantom green goblin voice.. he breaks a mirror in his rage and discovers the secret green goblin chamber. so he'll be the new green goblin in the next one. we better watch out for that one!
then everything turned sour for the rest of the day, owing to our discovery of the closing-down of ritchie riche!!! why?!?!?!?!
that said, goodnight!

Pole Practice – The Evolution

 I love going for pole prac because it gives my brain and body the time to process whatever I’d learned in class. Class moments are always s...
