YOU ARE AN Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) BOY!
You are a sweet-natured person, though constantly
seeking attention and affirmation from your
peers. You are not very hard working...

Which Singapore School are YOU FROM?
brought to you by Quizilla

just finished reading "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald

a classic book about glamourous people and thier nasty secrets.. shows u WHY the grass always seems greener on the other side.. though it wasnt exactly fantastic, i was still quite engrossed.. i can do that for any book.. except for Undertones of War.. something was seriously wrong with that one..

my fave exerpts;

"His heart beat faster and faster as Daisy's white face came up to his own. He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning-fork that had been struck upon a star. Then he kissed her. At his lips' touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete."

"On the last afternoon before he went abroad, he sat with Daisy in his arms for a long, silent time. It was a cold fall day, with fire in the room and her cheeks flushed. Now and then she moved and he changed his arm a little, and once kissed her dark shining hair. The afternoon had made them tranquil for awhile, as if to give them a deep memory for the long parting the next day promised. They had never been closer in their month of love, nor communicated more profoundly one with another, than when she brushed silent lips against his coat's shoulder or when he touched the end of her fingers, gently, as though she were asleep."

it's really not a romance story. and even if so, it was a tragic one... i just chose the mushy bits *winkz*

by the way, for those who knew abt my agonising dilemma.. it's been settled.. im going to NUS this year.. will transfer to US next year. thanks to all those who've listened to me gripe in exasperation.. to those who believed in me and assured me that "things will work out". thanks. I hope im making the right choice. OH-- and dont try to tempt me into playing my freshman year away.. im supposed to really study this time *heh* HEAR THAT ZHEN?! but i guess clubbing once in a while wouldnt hurt.. hehe

I'm standing on a bridge
I'm waitin in the dark
I thought that you'd be here.. by now
Theres nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's.. no sound

Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you

I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here i know
'Cause nothing's going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you

Oh why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
yea yea yea

Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you...

Just came back from spending 3 days in Kuala Lumpur... it was okay i guess.. bought the usual.. clothes, shoes, earrings.. it prices there are an incredible bargain! maybe cuz i divided everything by 2... came back ard 3am last night.. but Mr. Insomniac Wong was still awake so we talked as i unpacked.. it's funny how we met each other 5 years ago but only became good friends when he left for uni in london..

Nat: u know, i forgot u went to UK cuz i tried calling u on friday.. then ur maid, with GREAT difficulty, managed to muster out "Natasha... um.. ah.. eh.. LON-DON!" then i remembered... cuz i recalled the same painful incident when u were in bali last year.. and no i didnt get ur sms!! you're so smart to know that OF COURSE mil wouldve wanted something frm LON-DON... hahaha.. i'll sms u..

Serena: it wasnt a date lah... quit disillusioning both u and me.. hahaha.. and i dont have "connections"... i swear.. if it wasnt for that guy u saw me "pick up" from the buona vista mrt station.. (it was raining and he had an umbrella and he was from my school!! sheesh!) u wouldnt be coming up with all this nonsense... haha.. and dont forget: u're a better chick than i am.. ur not intimidated my guys.. u're "above" them *winkz*

hello aaron how are you? ..u know what? i WAS a good girl throughout the trip... i didnt argue with my daddy like u told me not to.. but i also ignored him the whole time.. i felt bad abt it but im still angry.. i cant keep giving in to him.. he's gonna keep me next to him till im 72.. i cant have that. but u noe what pisses me off? that whole running away from home thing?? he pretended that it never happened! wasted...

ugh.. my lifes a mess.. everybody knows it.. but nobody really understands it.. im not asking anyone to either cuz it's just too damn complicated.. im so sick of trying to figure it out.. i wish someone could walk me throught it.. but they cant.. and despite all the wonderful friends i have, im alone this time.

woo hoo.. woke up late tdy.. went sunbathing by the pool.. and i just blew dry my new haircut.. it's not so bad now... yesterday i walked outta The Scene like a jap taitai.. haha

spent the day with gareth yesterday and had alota fun... poor boy was sleepy and jetlagged half the time though..heh

lets see.. so after my haircut we went for lunch at crepes 'n cream (or something like that) but the food really wasnt that great.. dont go there for main course.. then we went shopping *yippie* he bought shoes and i got a skirt (that, knowing me for 19 years, i'll most probably never wear).. apparantly he thinks EVERYTHING is "really cheap" here cuz he automatically divides the price tag by 3 and converts to pounds... Ooh and for once i had an excuse to walk into Hugo Boss..hehe.. im so in love with the suits there but im too embaressed to walk in alone on normal days.. and then we bought a happy meal at mcdonalds cuz i wanted the toy and he was thirsty.. it was 'Pearl' that pink squid from Finding Nemo!!! *adorable*

then.... we went to the esplanade! i've only been there twice.. once it was drizzling.. second it was to see Oliver.. so THIS time i had to go to the rooftop!!! which was amazingly beautiful... i've never seen singapore so "open" and "unconfined" before.. (in the physical sense.. no govt attacks here) great place to watch the sunset.. we were kicking ourselves for not bringing the camera.. definetly going back.

then..., we had ThaiExpress for dinner.. he must think im a very indecisive person: i changed my order 4 times.. (i was looking for the Chulalongkorn Fried Rice okay... and i eventually found it.. thanks for intro-ing that to me jen :> it was totally worth it *yum*) After dinner we checked out Embassy.. which had a bizzarely long queue of people.. turns out that it was the S'pore Charlie's Angels contest.. then i remembered - had i still been working, i wouldve been there helping to dress the ah lians (topshop sponsored the outfits)... then i thot maybe if i called my ex-boss she could get us in.. and she did :)

but we didnt stay long.. only long enough to know that glenn ong is actually quite tall .. then we went for ice cream at Haagen Dazs.. green tea and strawberry ice cream scoops with almond flakes and cookie crumbs.. on a big comfy ice cream cone shaped couch... i thought to myself.. maybe i've done something good lately *grinz*

oomph! im officially unemployed.. the first time in a long time =)
but im also sick.. i think it was too much prawn crackers from last nights farewell dinner... (which was at Peach Garden. the foods really good..)

hey does anyone wanna go to the hair salon? i HAVE to cut my hair.. its getting to the point whereby it interferes with me putting on a bra.. that's wierd.

Although ive got a place in FASS.. im still hoping against everything that my daddy is convinced to send me back to US.. his refusal to take me seriously nor make prompt decisions is driving me insane. i've been at this disgusting problem for 9 months! it's been the cause of many many tears and arguments.. and im sick of it.. but if i quit trying now, they'll say i'll lack perisistence.. or i dont want it bad enough.. so for all my precious friends who keep praying for me to stay, please stop doing that cuz my own prayers arent strong enought to get me where i wanna go!

on a lighter note.. i felt quite a sense of accomplishment the other day cuz it was the first time my bank account housed, at a single time, a 4 digit figure... it took a long to time to save up but before i even had time to blog that little piece of joy, it's already back down to $1043 tdy.. so another $50 withdrawl and im back down ;P darn.

MUSICiLIKE: I'd Really Love To See You Tonight -- Parker McGee

Hello, yeah, it's been awhile.
Not much. How 'bout you?
I'm not sure why I called,
I guess I really just wanted to talk to you.

And I was thinkin' maybe later on
we could get together for awhile.
It's been such a long time
and I really do miss your smile.

I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in
and I don't wanna change your life
but there's a warm wind blowin' the stars around
and I'd really love to see you tonight.

We could go walkin' through a windy park,
take a drive along the beach
or stay at home and watch TV,
you see it really doesn't matter much to me.

I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in
and I don't wanna change your life
but there's a warm wind blowin' the stars around
and I'd really love to see you tonight.

I won't ask for promises
so you don't have to lie.
We've both played that game before,
say I love you then say goodbye.

I'm not talkin' 'bout movin' in
and I don't wanna change your life
but there's a warm wind blowin' the stars around
and I'd really love to see you tonight...

in the middle of all these gross uni messes i've gotten myself into... i came home today and found in my room, hung btw all my Matrix Reloaded posters, a brand new black trench coat from m)phosis... and when i come out with that shock on my face, my mom (im pretty sure she planned for my reaction) she goes "Im trying to help you get ready" *grinz*

Speaking of the Matrix Reloaded, faye's right: Keanu Reeves is lovely, but even HE cannot save Reloaded.
...And im speaking as a worshiper of the works..

Watched it yesterday (at sub-zero Lido2 temperatures).. and i guess the whole visual rollercoaster is granted more than 5 stars (except for the neo and trinity sex scene.. that was.. it made me cringe..) BUT I missed the "headtrip" the original put me through... i expected more from Reloaded's plot but found the lack of it.. i mean how is Neo going to the super bright room and having a chat with the KFC grandpapa (actually he only asked like 3 questions) supposed to SAVE the human race?? simply put, i walked outta the theater demanding more.. something was missing.. i don't wanna say nor believe this but.. i think i was dissappointed. *pout* But it makes me wanting to get the soundtrack.. The cuss spilling Frenchman was rather uplifting.. and so was keanu's thing with the hot babe *winkz* but the BIGGEST shocker has got to be the cute lil Keymaker.. heheh.. i mean, who would've figured??!

and because aaron accompanied me to watch something he entirely didn't comprehend, we went to catch something 'easy to understand' to save his 'extinguishing' brain cells.. watched Bruce Almighty fifteen mins right after.. and no, im not gonna do another film critique on it.. but i felt cheated there too: they showed something on the trailer that wasnt in the show! haha but jim carrey's adorable.. u cant be too upset with him around :)

If you're my aquaintance and 'heard' frm somewhere that I 'look' Chinese but 'fake' an accent or something, I will explain now (though it's never once and for all): I'm an American born Chinese, my parents are Hongkongers. I was born in Chicago, raised in Hongkong till I was 5, moved to Boca Raton, Florida and stayed till I was 11, moved to Trophy Club, Texas and stayed till i was 13, moved to Singapore and have stayed there since. Throughout my preschool-univeristy life i have attended 13 schools so far. Was it tough? did it make me bitter? I dont think so, ask any of my friends.. or try and find someone who hates me.. *wink*
