peace and war
lyd,juline n i decided to do something different aside from thronging town and thus ended up at fort canning for a morning walk.which ended up being sticky, humid, balmy and full of mosquitoes n flies..
but it was really rather idyllic.. touristy and fun..
all those trees and colonial forts..i loved it because it was quiet. crowds get to me after awhile.
i wondered how those couple took photos in the heat. i felt hot and itchy for them.. suits and gowns and all.
next up.. tree top trail :)
the mango sale was practically a warzone.
army guys should go train there.. all those hazardous things(clothes and hangers) flying all over the place will do them some good dodging exercise.
plus everyone was pushing and shoving..
'twas such a stressful experience.
women are dangerous creatures.. claws out, guarding their goods.. attempting to have a choice spot in front of the mirror.
*shudder*

ice skating with wing.
wen at 10:23 PM
beauty and the bitch
I had my virgin[insert lots of screams,squeals and fun] attempt at ice skating today.wing and i travelled all the way to kallang with much enthusiasm only to discover that leisure park was demolished. I think we stood there pretty much gawking at the rubble.Shocked n surprised, we had to confirm it with the bus driver and then some random guy at the bustop. We are so behind the times.
But, undaunted, we travelled to the other end of Singapore. Jurong. I told her that we were pretty much having a tour of Singapore.
And I was thinking to myself.. gee, I'm so near yet so far to you.
Fuji Ice Palace is in NEED of an unpgrading. It looked like something out of the 80s.
Of course to get our money's worth, wing and I just had to pay student price.
Man, Some kids are so pro. and being kids, you don't give a damn and just chiong, you don't care how you fall or how many times you fall. (besides, they have a lower CG) so kids who were pro were zooming around while kids were falling all around me as I gripped at the edge of the skating rink for dear life.
But yes, i managed to make a few tentative steps without having to hold on to anything at the end of the day.
Well, I had to make it across the rink without the support of the sides cuz one end was blocked off for lessons. So i was just standing there attempting to look nonchalant and some guy asked if i needed help across. which of course was what i needed. So he skated beside me until i got to the other side. Which was all fine and dandy of course.
I didn't want to hold wing back too much either so i told her to go off on her own.
So the guy found me alone for the second time and offered to take me across.. And yes, in an attempt at choosing the lesser of 2 evils, i held his hand and made it across. the other option was to fall flat and embarass myself.
Maybe he thought he got lucky. But sorry, i don't give my number like that.
oh and i saw a couple making out just outside the ring.. and the girl was in IJ uniform. hrmph.kids nowadays..
i think humans are such interesting creatures.
there was this mentally unstable guy in front of the entrance to the jurong east train station toilet and wing and i were positively freaked and for safety reasons, walked away. so did another guy for that matter.
And then somehow there were a whole lot of weird people on the train from jurong east.
this guy with green hair who must have thought his bag had a life of its own and needed a seat as well.
many people who didn't know where their butt started and where it ended and sat in between seats.
this guy who looked scary.. pale, with tattoos and drugged dead looking eyes..
some middle aged guy who couldn't stop swearing at some other person whom i think accidentally sat on him or something. and when i mean swear, it was "F****. BasTa*D.Sh*t.S-O-B"
he needs to wash his mouth out. with detergent.
And then i had a bitch for my driving instructor. why oh why didn't my other usual instructors save me?
1. i said hi and he ignored me and then i tried to make small talk and he was like urhm.
fine.. you don't want to talk then so be it.snob.
2. when i was reversing, he turned around and asked why i didn't do safety check.
dude, of course you didn't see a thing because you were looking the other way.
3.i was trying to do parallel parking and he kept jamming break and asked why i only turn one round to the right.
harloe.. you jam break, of course i had to stop. what do u want me to do?!i'm not done turning
3. i was making a right turn and then i saw other cars turning without stopping cuz there was supposedly no traffic and i wasn't sure so i wanted to stop at the pocket to check..
and then he was like why you stop? why you stop?huh? why?why why?
what the hell.. just tell me nicely to move if you don't see a need to stop. there's no need for you to act like i just banged your car or something
by then i was fuming mad already..
4. so when we got back to the circuit he asked me to do parking again and then of course when you're pissed you can't do things as usual.. and then he was doing his usual jamming break thing and i think i turned too much or something..and he was like..
you don't know what is straight ah?! why you turn left and right!
and then proceeded to turn the steering wheel with much vengence.
and so i reversed and then straightened my car..
mr yaya-papaya said: "now you know what is straight ah... then how come just now you didn't know"
thanks for the sacarsm.
screw you!!!!
i can't believe i actually said thank you at the end of the lesson. thank goodness for my shades i was wearing because i was rolling my eyes at him.
a smile from my previous instructor was so comforting when i saw him.
bah.

melt
fathers' day lunch was at MELT world cafe:some people are such assholes and the only thing that stopped me from turning around and giving them a piece of my mind was pure politeness. i didn't want to make a scene.
But should anyone feel a need to say something, please say it to my face and not make snide remarks by my side. talk about who is being a typical singaporean. too humjee to tell it to my face.
to set the record straight, there was a big group of people who were queueing up to get into the cafe and i didn't know that this couple weren't part of them since both of them walked into the queue with me at the same time.
and by doing so i moved with the queue and so did they..
so I became the typical singaporean who cuts queues...
puh-lease, who the hell wants to cut queue when i have a reservation already. anyway they don't/won't read this, so why bother.
anyway, the food was good and my my.. the desserts were mind boggling. I could hardly contain my excitement upon seeing the milk choc and white choc fountain.. I could hardly keep my mouth shut when i saw the icecream/waffle counter.. it had jars of peanut butter plus jars of marshmellows,nuts,chocs,jelly beans and even animal biscuits(!)It was totally the stuff of a kid's dream.
talk about taking me to the candy shop. I kicked myself for forgetting to bring my camera along.
And as if the desserts weren't enough to make me melt in happiness, the manager was *melt* so cute. to me, he was gorgeous. my mum made small talk with him and found out he was a mix of filipino and french blood, plus he has worked in paris,NY and even switzerland. girls, you so have to see him. cuz he's young and hot.
the only thing that stopped me from taking a pic of/with him on my phone was a lack of guts.
Now, I'm paying for my gluttony. my tummy feels funny.I never learn..

only to easy
It’s such a simple thing. To lapse into familiarity and habit. Then, once some variable in the equation changes you find yourself scrambling to keep up and attempt once more to simplify things into something simple enough to be understood and be handled.the human is designed to adapt..
life is going to take on a whole new direction soon enough..
but sometimes, its hard to battle inertia.

guess my real age..
how much of a kid do i look to you?i look at my face in the mirror.. left, right, up down.. smack straight on..
what do i see?
an 18 year old.
but 2 taxi drivers in a row asked me the same question the moment i stepped into the cab:
aye... school hols now ah...
and when i told them i was waiting to go to uni.. they all got a shock. they thought i was a sec school kid.
right.
the taxi driver last nite must have been wondering what the hell was a sec sch girl like me doing out so late with her army boyfren.. watching late night mr and mrs smith(which by the way was steaming hot)and then subsequently launched into his son's NJ- 4th year NUS med student process the moment he got over the usual "oh RJ? damn stress right" reaction.
but i should take heart that i look young. then i'll age gracefully in the future.

zen
there's been a barrage of photos lately with minimal words. its partly because i'm lazy and well, partly because photos say so much so be done with words.you know everyone is caught up with their own lives and busy growing up when 5 out of 14 spsls turn up for dinner. you realize how old you're getting when you meet up with a few of your class girls for lunch and rachel does it during lunch hour.. we never had lunch hour. there was always in-between-lecture-breaks,lunch, toilet breaks, self-imposed breaks.
you know people have progressed.. boozing during visits to homes..
you realized how you've changed.. figuring out eyeliners and the like.
you wonder how you used to hold up at all the seoul garden pig outs.. when a dinner with the one you love at carnivore ends up with ensuring there's always vege on the table because meat alone makes you feel so... barbaric and carnivorous. (i apologize for the lack of words)
i wish i could see things the way you did. i have way too much emotion. passion. maybe.
its easier to get hurt this way isn't it..
happy anniversary nonetheless.

37 degrees. a phase we all went through. a valient attempt by me to shop with a screwed up knee.
wen at 9:19 PM
klutz.
for those who know me.. thats my true nature. not some demure girl.i've embarrassed myself countless times because of my klutziness but never like today.
in orchard road.
tripping over myself then sending myself flying through the air and arms flailing and failing to steady myself.. then falling flat.landing up with a bruised and banged up knee.
i must have been a sight.
not knowing whether to laugh or cry at myself.
but being true to the sisterhood of shopping, i still managed to make some buys with my banged up knee. even though i could hardly bend my knee to sit when i wanted to try on shoes.
ah yes. the queen of klutz is here again.
