(I had a whole chunk here about school reopening next week and how a couple of weeks later we'll be getting our results back, but typing it and thinking about it makes me want to run away and hide my head under the covers and never come out, so nevermind. Quick, think about something else! Lalalalala.)

Ahem. Think about something else! Umm.

Oh ok, I know.

We won! Wahoo! :D
That 90th minute goal made getting up at 3.30 worthwhile.
It made struggling to keep awake worthwhile.
I became super awake after it.
(It was also the reason I overslept and came late. Sorry Jaclyn!)

But yeah. 50 league goals in 72 games = awesome.
When it went in, I leapt up, danced around, and pumped my fists into the air.
Because 1) we win if we don't concede one in the last few remaining minutes and 2) 50! 50! 50!
Tee hee and awwww the celebration <3

Anyway, after that I went back to sleep, then woke up again to head over to Jaclyn's place.
We watched AXN while making oreo truffles.
SYTYCD and TAR! :D
Weehee it's the first time I watched SYTYCD, and thank goodness it was a good episode.

Might be zooming off somewhere next week, but it's not confirmed yet.
If it is, it means I'll be off the day Joan comes back ):

Heyyyyyyyyy :D

Christmas Eve
This year it was my family's year to host the Chirstmas party, so I helped a little.


Messy desk.


Ta-dah!


Then we brought the tv over so we could play the ps.


I made a sign for my bed. Teehee.

Then around 7.30 my relatives started arriving.


Ming girl jiejie, Misha who can't smile properly, Shirleen, me, Joanna jiejie.




We celebrated Misha's birthday too. They bought her a princess outfit and she had a Winx Club cake.

Anyway, while we were waiting for them to arrive, my brother taught me to play Winning 11.
Yay! I suck though.
When we're losing he'll nicely ask me to stop playing so he can score a few goals so we won't lose. Heh.

Ate, sang carols, played, bummed around, then they finally started to leave at around 1, but Misha's family hung around until 2, and she almost fell asleep on my brother's bed, so cuteeeeeee.
And then after they left we started cleaning and the house was so dirty.


We cleaned until 3.10 in the morning.

And then I still had to shower before I went to bed, so I came online at around 5.15 to wait for my hair to dry.
Then I saw Wang Yee online and I got super excited so I went to talk to her for a while, because she's in America and I'm in Singapore but we're online at the same time. Yay!

Then I finally went to bed at 5.45 and then I lay on something crinkly, so I got up and turned on the lights again.
Guess what my brother had bought me and tossed on my bed? :D





I'm going to open the Torres one later when I watch the match :D

Christmas Day
Woke up at 2plus in the afternoon since I slept so late/early in the morning.
My parents and brother had gone out for lunch, and they brought packed rice back for me.
Fish, egg, veg, and deer meat.
Then at 6 my brother and I went over to our cousins' house to play Guitar Hero.
I think we played too much, my fingers hurt now :D
We only planned to stay until about 8 at first, but my other cousin came with her boyfriend so we ended up staying until midnight.
Hee, I'm not scared of the freaking drums now!
I sucked super badly at them at the start of the year, but I can hit above 90% now.
But only on easy mode still. HEE.
Go on, laugh.

Boxing Day
Woke up in the afternoon again, ate leftover turkey with bread.
Our fridge is packed with food and I don't like it ):
Since my brother was out and my dad was at work, my mom cooked salmon as well, and I had a slice of leftover pizza for dinner.
Yay for leftovers!

I'm bored with posting now. Bye! :D

I'm so pissed.
On the bus ride home, this woman came to sit beside me, and she was reading her newspaper.
When she was done with it, she turned to me, smiled, and asked, "Excuse me, do you want this?"
And I, who was reading my book, politely declined, and went back to reading.
When she got off at KAP, you know what she did?
Yup, left the freaking newspaper on the seat beside me.

Me: Wth!? (But of course I didn't say it lah, just kept giving disbelieving looks.)
-glares at lady as she leaves, but she doesn't look at me-
So I kept making huffing noises and very reluctantly folded the newspaper and took it with me.

Hello, you read the paper, you TAKE the paper away when you leave.
Not just leave it in random places like on buses.
What, is the next person who sits in that seat supposed to take it then?
Asshole lady.

And I was so pissed I couldn't continue reading, and I was still fuming when I was walking home.
Still am.
Some adults aren't fit to be adults.
Why is it that I'm 16, and I know how to clear my tray when I eat in public places, and I know that I shouldn't spit in public, but someone who has lived almost three times as long as me doesn't?

Huffhuffhuffhuffhuff.

Anyway.

Tuesday
Went to Holland with Jaclyn, had Swensens for lunch.
Calamari! <3
I thought they were pretty big, but they were goooooood.


We found a giant chocolate bar in Cold Storage.

Also we ate some frozen yoghurt thing, I added Fruity Pebbles and the healthy girl added mango.

Wednesday
Went over to her house again, to make Oreo truffles.
They turned out gooooooood :D
I saw Moka getting his teeth brushed and getting showered for the first time too.


Licking the toothpaste off. Heh.


I didn't want to take a photo of him cause he looked so weird, but Jaclyn was mean.


Drying in the sun <3


Cuteeeeeee. I caught him when he was blinking.


And I love it when he puts his head on the ground like that.


We also watched Signs and The Notebook.
I made this ribbon-carrying-thingy cause I didn't want to touch it for too long when I was bringing it to her house.
But what's ironic is that I made it in the middle of the night while I was watching tv alone, and I had to touch it a lot while making it anyway :/
Oh and we didn't cover our eyes this time when watching Signs!
The alien isn't so scary actually, it's the not knowing what it looks like that's terrifying.

Yesterday my family went to watch Avatar, and it's not a show about some bald monk kid, like in the cartoon.
It look me a while to realise that.
It's pretty good, but I hated the whole romance part.

Just got back from PS, where we went to Pizza Hut for lunch.
As usual, we were losers with nothing to do.
Why? What is wrong with us? ):
Anyway, it was raining still and we had to run across the street to get to the bus stop.

Yep ok this is a long enough post.

Ps. It's going to be Christmas soon! o.O
It's too soon. I don't want this to end.

I got my laptop back! It's fixed!
Yay! :D
-jumps around in joy (and gets stuck)-

Sorry I haven't been posting these few days, I had stuff I wanted to say, but I wanted to upload some photos too and I didn't want to do it on my brother's laptop.

Going out soon, will post more when I get home :D

I'm getting cock-eyed from the amount of jumping my laptop screen does.
Relentless jumping, like, bouncebouncebouncebouncebounce.
Thank goodness the LG people got whatever it is they need to fix it, and my dad will send it down tomorrow.

I cut my hair.
(Dorcas will say something like, "No! The hairdresser cut your hair!")
It's not short, but it's not long-long.
It doesn't even reach until my... nevermind.
Dumb thing to whine about, but I want to, okay?
Whinewhinewhine.

Whoohoo.
Went over to Jaclyn's today to bake, and you know what we learnt?
When a recipe calls for powered sugar, use the freaking powdered sugar.
If not, you'll end up with chunky grainy frosting like we did.
Heh, also, what did you do with the all the cake we had left?

We also watched He's Just Not That Into You and 27 Dresses.
(Another reason to deepen my dislike for SJ, yay!)
I liked HJNTIY, but 27 Dresses, not so much.
It was okay, not bad, but predictable.
My favourite character in HJNTIY was Janine.
I was super glad when she dumped that cheating-ass pig.
To still cheat on her after telling her about it? Jerk.

I wish I could take up Spanish.

I have a bad case of hiccups.
Seriously, I've had them like four times already today.
Usually (for me, at least) they come and annoy you for a while, then leave without you noticing and not bother you for a few months.
Well, today they just keep coming and going.
It's suuuuuper annoying.
They just stopped again, but I bet they'll come back again later when I'm watching the game or something.

Anyway, other than that I had a lovely day today.

After church, we went to Thompson for lunch, this cafe-y place which was quite nice.
(Also the first time I've been to Thompson Plaza! o.O)
I had a crepe.
"No onions or tomatoes, please," I told them.
Nyehhhhhh, they forgot.
When I cut it I saw onions and I had to pick them out, but at least they remembered the tomatoes.

(Nevermind, I had a whole post I wanted to type out, but I'm discussing stuff with Jaclyn now, very distracted. Bye!)

K I'm back cause we're done talking.
Yeah, we've fallen out.

Kidding! :D

(RAH I continued the whole post but accidentally closed it and now I have to start all over again!)

Where was I? Oh yes.
Yesterday I had a sudden craving to make no-bake cookies, seeing how I don't have an oven and all.
So today, I picked up a bag of oats (and was super protective of it, I don't know why) and mixed it with milk, butter, cocoa powder, etc etc.
Neh. They aren't bad, just not great, like how I imagined them to be in my head.
To think I was so excited and all YAY shall bring some for Jaclyn to try tomorrow.
Now I shall just stick them in the fridge and leave them there and no one shall see them.
(Except my mom, cause she's already seen them. Helped me make them even.)
(Or my dad, cause he's already opened the fridge.)
(Or my maid or my brother, cause they'll probably open the fridge too.)
(Okay fine no one else can see them except my family.)

I had fun though :D

Next time if/when I get an oven, I'll bake the frick outta my house and all of you will be my scapegoats guinea pigs :D (What was I thinking?)
(Sierra: When I get home I'm gonna buy three hundred dollars worth of groceries and bake the frick outta my house.)
Remember? :D
(Or something to that effect, anyway.)

We also made jelly.
We, as in my mom and I.
We spent the afternoon in the kitchen, she made butter corn. Yum.
(I just started three sentences consecutively with 'We', heh.)
I didn't know that jelly was so simple to make!
Just hot water, mix, cold water, fridge, done.
And they smelt so good, although I couldn't stop thinking about esters and all the fake-smells.

I also ate a Kinda Bueno today.

The end :D

Today I completely forgot about Survivor again, until Jaclyn messaged me.
(Spoilers, gah! -- But it's ok :D)
So I just caught the repeat.

Well, at least Dave can go shave, which he did.
What's with the hair dude?

Oh Monicaaaaaaa.
That girl pisses me off.
I hate the way she struts around, with that slight butt-shake, and that "seductive" look she keeps trying to give.

That's her.

I wish I could get into a catfight with her.
Meowpullhairspithisspunch.
Think I could beat her? :D

So only Brett and Shambo left from Galu, huh.
If it had to be one of them, I'd pick Brett, of course.
Heh he's such a cutie.
Guh I'm such a sucker for dimples.

But oh, Foa Foa, stay togetherrrrrrrr D:

I don't know how I can feel so tired when all I do is just stay home and use the laptop/help my cousins with their work/watch tv/read.
My right arm feels like it could drop off with deadness from all the mindless mouse-clicking I do.
And I have to keep cricking my neck cause it aches.

Also, it was swelteringly hot today.
*melts from heat*

Today is the third straight day that I've had pizza for lunch ^.^
Awesome.

The good news is, I have my laptop back.
The bad news is, it still isn't repaired.
):

My dad took it this morning to send it down to the service centre, but when he came home he still had it with him.
Apparently, the people there don't have the tools/parts needed to fix it, and they have to ship it in, so I have to wait weeks or maybe months(?).

So anyway, I came back from Jaclyn's and went to use my brother's one.
But I coudn't do much since I didn't have my bookmarks and it's difficult to play KoL without my gm scripts, so I gave up and just let Gossip Girl load, and went out to help my cousin with his Math.

What will I do the next time it's sent for repair? D:

My cousins are staying at my place. Again.
For two weeks this time :/
Yesterday I gave up two hours of precious Friends-watching time to teach my cousin Amath, so it's not my fault that I'm taking so long now.
I used to be able to complete a season a day.
Now I'm lucky if I get through even three episodes a day. Gah.

Also, why is it so difficult to find anything nice to buy this Christmas?
We went shopping after church again today, and I bought a dress and a tank top.
Both of which I didn't really want, and I know I'm going to regret getting, but my mom was nehhing me to just get it, so I did.
(It's her money anyway. I feel like such a spoilt brat saying this. But I'm always telling them not to get expensive stuff for me. Except maybe an oven, fingers crossed I'll get one this Christmas.)
The dress was originally 80 bucks (!), but it got slashed down to $24.30, so yeah whatever.

And why can't people treat shoes nicely?
We were in Charles and Keith, and I hate it when people take heels off the rack and throw them on the floor to try.
And they don't even put them back properly in their place! Grah.

Today I saw Isabelle at church, and my cousin at Paragon.
Hi! :D

Oh and YES YES YES they lost!!!
:D :D :D
I almost couldn't believe it when my dad told me this morning.
Went to watch the highlights, it looked very interesting.
(More interesting than our draw, anyway :/)
Wish I could have watched it, but it was too late last night.

Only 9 months old, and my laptop is already conky.
The screen keeps jumping.
Hopefully we can go get it repaired tomorrow.

Today = <3
Our original plan was for them to come over so we could exercise, play badminton/tennis, then head over to Jaclyn's to bake.
But I only had rackets with wonky strings, so we abandoned that step and went straight to part b.
Went to NTUC to get some baking stuff, then we walked to Jaclyn's.
(It rained again, of course. Oh and we saw a huge grasshopper.)


Reading and re-reading the recipe, but we still got it wrong anyway.
(Heh and I've always wanted to stick a recipe up on a fridge like that :D)

We made chocolate chip cookies and some pie thingy, which was disastrous.







(Imagine more mixing shots here. We had to mix it for super long cause we messed up and added the flour first when we weren't supposed to.)


Cookies baking.


Turned out well despite our n00bness.


Joan's tumour cookie.

(We didn't take any pictures of the small ones D:)

Pie crust time!


Kneading it.


Just wanted to show how the flash made my hands look super white. Heh.


Failed pie ):




Cuteeeeeeeeeee.

They were both acting very suspiciously when we were baking.
Jaclyn was in the shower for super long while we were downstairs watching tv (although I didn't think much of it), and Joan left while we were preparing the stuff for the pie.
Guess what they came back with?















<333333333333

I love it. Thanks dears <333
It's an album thingy, with pictures of stuff that I like and dislike.
I was SUPER surprised cause I totally wasn't expecting it at all.
My birthday was in March, but this is a 16th/17th birthday present.


Not a very good picture, sorry.

But you all already made me that!
Heh not complaining though.

I really really really can't express how much I love it.
I looked through it thrice while I was there already, came back home and looked through it twice again :D

Again, thanks dears <3

(Phew. This post took me SUPER long. Yay I'm learning to upload photos!)
