movies
sorry i was in a foul mood yesterday. i'm better now. hahaha. at least i can LAUGH now. felt so bad yesterday.i'm in a movie mood. firstly, i want to watch 'march of the penguins'. it's a documentary and most people would think it's like oh so boring.. but i think it's pretty interesting to learn about their annual mating/reproducting system... it was really shot in the antarctic and i look forward to seeing what a day (or should i say a year) in the life of a penguin is like.. was never a fan of penguins but i still wanna watch this show..
after seeing the harry potter 4 trailer, which has gotten alot of excitment stirring up among people, i oso want to watch! i wasn't a fan of the HP movies.. HP 1: hianz lent me the vcd right before HP 2 came out and she kinda dragged me to watch HP 2 with her.. HP 3: mary bugged me to watch with him as i also bugged him to watch another movie with me.. yea we watched 2 movies in a day.. whee that was june 2004... ahh the good old times... now HP 4 comes out in singapore in november, and i want to watch with mary oso cannot.. hmmph. no fun.
and i wanna watch the romance flick 'must love dogs'. it's like about finding your special someone online or something? haha mebbe it's the doggy part that attracts me... but the female star is diane lane, and i watched her movie when she was like 13 or something.. really wanna see how she grew up to be.. and the male star was also the star in 'serendipity', another damn nice movie.. hahaha..
aiyah so many movies to watch, no money, nobody to watch with, how???
anyway tonight ch 8's showing the jack neo movie 'homerun' and i think last time at school show before? but i wanna watch again.. really touching movie.. it starts at 7:30pm and it's like 3 hours long.. so it ends at 10:30pm.. and ch U's showing 'the way home', a korean movie about a boy sent to live with his mute grandmother.. it's another touching movie.. i oso want to watch! but it starts at 9pm and so they two movies overlap... i have a vcr and i want to tape them both and i can't!!! hmmph i guess i'll watch homerun and tape the way home.. grrr...
everybody's studying for promos. hmmph no fun. nobody to talk to. oh yea. i just cut my nails. can you believe it? hmm they were getting too long to take out my contact lenses.. so too bad no choice must cut. grrrr.

wistful
i should be in a happy mood. last night's concert was fabulous. and i mean FABULOUS. PAC opening / cjc 30th anniversary.. nice man. every performance was really good, and surprise! mary had a piano duet.. but of course best of all was the band performance. especially percussion's 'marching season'. i was mezmerized by the music. even more by looking at the players tapping the sticks and listening to the wonderful sounds coming out. i never knew mary was so talented.but i'm in a rotten mood coz i can't go for tonight's performance which i think will be even better. coz i can't watch mary playing the mallets. i wanna listen to marching season live one more time. i wanna watch everything again.
i feel so envious of musically-inclined people. i feel like such a failure each time i see musicians at their best. but most of all i feel sad coz i'll be missing many cjcsb perfomances where mary will be performing. i feel so sad that i can't watch him every single time he plays anything. i feel so so sad i won't be able to listen to the melodious sounds of the band live, and at the same time watch them play.
i am a bad camera(wo)man. i have a lousy digicam. the video of marching season was not even clear. i can't even see who is playing what. i can't see when he's playing and when he's not. i wish i could have a video of this performance. so i can see it over and over again. and i won't miss him so much.
it's less than 2 weeks left in singapore. i can't make myself let go. i feel like crying. i really do. i wish i can just dump my studies and live life here doing nothing. i don't wanna miss a thing. i wanna go to school here like everyone does, even though it's hell stressful. i don't know what i'm gonna do when i leave. cry my eyeballs out? i don't know when we'll be together again. i really don't want this vacation to end. i wish he didn't have exams. i wish i didn't have to go back. i wish we could just spend forever talking like there's no tomorrow...
somebody save me. please? i hate it when reality crashes in and destroys your happy moments.

snippets here and there..
urrh. just recovered from a 24-hour flu bug yesterday. i mean yesterday the whole day i was sick lah. then today okay liao. phew. i do NOT like being sick. who does??wah sian. every single free tv channel we get (ch 5, ch 8, ch U, suria, central, CNA) is showing the national day rally. sorry la, i'm not a very political person; i have no interest whatsoever in this kinda stuff. i dun even wanna care what he's talking about. boo.
nothing new's happening. i don't want summer to end!! i wanna have more cj-crashing adventures!! i want more time in singapore!! i want a more exciting life!!
on a random note, i think project superstar's corrupted. if the results come out on thurs night, the winners' singles are released on saturday, how can they mass-produce so many cds in ONE DAY? they must have decided on a winner long ago and got the cds ready for sale. so no matter how much votes each person gets, it doesn't count. 0_0
another random thing: i don't think i'll ever dare to have a boyfriend who rides a motorcycle. the feeling of the wind on your face and hugging the one you love for safety is great, but i don't think i'll actually dare to go that fast.. scared fly off the motorbike sia.. i'm strange..
you know something even better than living with your boyfriend/girlfriend? it is to live just next door to each other. this way, when you start dating, no need to worry who pick up who, who wait for who where.. just meet at your doorstep can liao. and then when going home, *best for couples in the same school* can every day go home together, the guy no need to worry about sending the girl home.. come home late oso no need to worry whether the other party got home safe and sound anot.. then can have tons of study dates at either party's house, and can go over and kajiao any time you like, provided the entire family of both the boy and girl knows about and apporove the relationship la.. wah, imagine if the world was like this.. so shiok sia.. ^_^
when it comes to the words 'play around' when used in a relationship, the guy instantly pops into mind. but i think girls too, play around with guys' feelings. especially those who are like so chio with so many suitors, so she can just toy around until she finds the right one.. >.< i hate people like that..
geez. one hour has passed. and PM lee is still rambling on in his rally. currently he's like talking about education. normal technical people to be precise. thinking about GROUP WORK. why issit always must work in groups leh? some people loners wad.. more heads are better than one. is that what this group work principle based on? total garbage.
i wonder how people have the patience to listen for two whole hours? it's gonna be funny if they film the audience and someone is snoozing away. lolx. ok enough rambling from me. see ya. ciao.
`` if tomorrow never comes, would he know how much i love him?

project superstar
just finished watching the superstar results.. >.< i'm TOTALLY not happy with it. although i came back to singapore halfway throughout the competition and didn't know what's the big hoo-ha about this silly singapore-idol-like thingy, i got kinda addicted to it at the last part...firstly the gals. kelly does NOT deserve to win. she sings out of tune. she's ugly. xinhui doesn't look very much better, but at least she sings better.. i just see kelly's face buay song liao. hurhur.
then the guys. okay i cannot say i hate blind people. but a blind singer? abit the hard to imagine leh. and to think the william hung lookalike kelvin (weilian) has more supporters than cutie junyang? impossible. weilian sing until can hear him panting for breath. junyang sings much better. and who says looks are not important? doesn't it hurt to see a blind guy singing on stage with no expression? i mean, like seriously.
don't you think the results abit the screwed? how can a blind guy get more supporters than a total cutie? i don't see how. somebody explain please!
just a weird coincidence i noticed: all 4 finalists have younger sisters. hahaha.
and i felt so sad too when junyang was saying his last words.. he was trying so hard not to cry.. but in the end last part where he sing finish he went to his family and they were all hugging.. and his eyes were bloodshot, tears streaming down.. his sister was crying too.. must feel so sad right...
and funnily enough xinhui who didn't win for the girls did not cry. and it was the winner kelly who cried instead. weird world.
remember how i said i liked watching men cry? ya. see in this kind of situation, it's ok to cry. and i genuinely feel sad for junyang. for losing to a blind william hung. -.-
junyang is sooooo cute. (:

crazy gay behaviour
i promised mary i would blog about his crazy gay behaviour. wahaha. so here it is:it didn't start out very gay.. just met at serangoon bus interchange and then took 317 to serangoon garden.. that was like about 6pm le.. we went to chomp chomp and stood there, deciding what to eat.. mary had been bugging to eat the fried oyster.. but he doesn't like oysters and i'm not a very big fan of oysters either... contemplating whether to order fried oyster without the oyster, just the egg and flour thingy.. when we were at chomp chomp last time i heard someone order the same thing.. and i was snickering at them.. oops i shall take that back =)
then we ordered hokkien mee too, and lime juice.. just eat half half.. i ate the fried oyster (should i call it "fried" since it doesn't have any oyster?) first, and i was stealing hokkien mee from mary's plate.. and i'll drop little bits on the table.. then mary complain i waste food.. so whenever i steal, he'll put his spoon under my chopsticks and be like a safety net to catch my bits of hokkien mee.. lol.. what a hokkien mee freak.. -.-
oh yea the gay/ ah kua behaviour started when he was picking out the sotong in the hokkien mee.. haha.. he was like "eehh!" and flicking the sotong to one side.. i asked him to make in the sissy way and he did and i cracked up like a nut..
and then all this while eating i am drinking the lime juice, and he hasn't drank any yet.. then when we finished the food, we drank the lime juice.. then we raced to finish it.. after it was gone he asked how much did i drink.. i said, "maybe two-thirds?" then he told me.. "did you know all the while i didn't drink any lime juice at all? i was pretending.." i was like -.-!!! then i started saying not fair, lol.. then dunno for what reason start tickling him.. then he took out his water bottle and drink.. i wouldn't let him drink and went on tickling him.. the bottle cap was off and he threatened to pour water on me, and also threatened to tickle me..
so i said "pause" and got out my own water bottle which was even more full with water and uncapped it.. then we started threatening each other with the water and attempted to tickle each other.. the rule was you can't stand up.. hahaha... i was laughing till my stomach hurt.. WAHAHAHA.. luckily nobody was staring at us.. we didn't make THAT much of a din anyway.. finally we got tired and stopped. then we left..
then mary suddenly waved his hand in a sissy manner and went "eehh.." in a gay-ish way.. hahaha.. it got me cracking again and i kept asking him to do it more.. hahaha... while walking back to serangoon central we were like talking about everything then i would start cracking up whenever he made that sissy action.. lol.. no discrimination to gays or whatsoever ok?? hahaha..
it's like damn fun la, every time eat finish then we walk back to the bus stop and sometimes he'll wait for the bus with me.. sometimes not.. sometimes we'll be photowhoring at the bus stop, sometimes at the place where we eat.. but most of the time we play with the camera on the bus.. but it's damn shaky and hard to take nice pics... hehehe... so fun to go out with him.. but take note: he's NOT gay okay.. hahaha.. it's all pretense..
`` but deep in the night, it's an endless fight, and i can't get ya outta my mind...

thumbdrive
*hops around in joy* whee i have a thumbdrive! the freaking thing costs $85 and i got it for free!! coz my house the internet contract going to expire, so my dad went to renew it.. and the cute little thumbdrive is the free gift! it comes with a funky disc for installing the driver.. it's the first time i ever saw a disc that's not round.. the top and bottom are cut off.. hahaha.. lazy to take a pic.. let me describe my new pet. i have decided to name him Thumbie. Thumbie is blue and holds up to 128MB of data.. he (yes, he, coz it's blue) reminds me of a hermit crab.. he's really a USB flashdisk, but he has a watch in him too.. he's shy sometimes so he hides in his little cushion-y rubbery "shell"... come on out Thumbie!
don't mind him.. he's still shy..

there we go! atta boy!

couch potato..
i'm still stoning online. but besides that i'm being a couch potato... ever since i got home from dinner with mary at 7+pm i sat down to the finale of tong xin yuan on channel 8. phooey i know there's still part 2 so the finale is like nothing much.. just trying to lure you into watching part 2 by asking what will happen to who.. lousy lah.. storyline of singapore dramas are like so family-based.. nothing to say.. but it's fun to watch and diss the actors/actresses in the comfort of your own home *evil smile*..and then after that i was going to take my shower, but the silly variety show "pao ba yi ren" kept me glued to the tv for another hour.. it was continued from last week.. so how could i not watch?? haha just happened to tune in last week so just continue watching lor.. got celest chong.. ahh dun call me a lesbian but i think she's like so damn chio..
she's so tall, and slim.. with a figure any girl will die for.. then she has long long hair cascading down her back.. she's tanned.. she has nice teeth and a uber-bright smile =D the way she talks is also gentle, gosh she's just BEAUTIFUL. hahaha.
ok enough acting-les for now.. so after the show at 9pm i was still planning to go and bathe.. then got that silly new drama with chen liping with the chicken and the egg thingy.. looked interesting so my butt remained on the sofa and watched for 15 mins... then i had to cook the rice mah, then i realize how late it was.. supposed to wash my hair earlier or else kena scold, so i faster chiong and took my shower... i HAD to wash it today coz i'm like ultra sticky due to this sweltering heat.. when my ma came back i just told her i was half-dreaming and forgot to tie up my hair before taking a shower LOLx.. she scold me for not bathing earlier..
then at 10pm got the new korean drama "stairway to heaven".. nothing much, except i shall act-les today again.. coz there was this 15-year-old girl who looked really cute and innocent... damn cute leh.. haha and dun call me a paedophile instead... the reason i act les is that there are not very many shuai-ge's around.. so sad right.. of course there are, but not enough! hahaha... got oso no more show le.. that 9pm drama got tay ping hui one... oh i melt whenever i see him.. haha and of coz hawick lau too...
i was going to do a top ten shuai-ge's list.. but never really got around to doing it.. shall do it now..
1. jerry yan *he's SO hot. haha. i love him ever since meteor garden came out. now you know the sole reason why i love MG so much.*
2. tay ping hui *he's 186cm tall. 6 freaking cm taller than jerry yan! WOW. undescribable shuai-ness.*
3. hawick lau *in "a kindred spirit" he's SO cute as xiaoan. and in "destiny" we got to hear his sexy deep voice. too bad he looks so old in "destiny". and so unshaved.*
4. david gallagher *in 7th heaven first few seasons. before simon became such a bad boy. he was so shuai before he started growing up into a MAN.*
5. heath ledger *not that hot lah. maybe i'm smitten by "a knight's tale". that's all.*
... that's sad... damn sad. can't even do a top 10 shuai-ge list. see what i mean by NOT ENOUGH shuai-ge's? and see how i dun like ang-mohs that much? yea i think i prefer asian guys. haha. this proves i'm not a lesbian. and the other evidence? it's pretty obvious. never mind the fact that his name is MARY. muahaha.

sian-ified
life is so boring. i get up. i stone in front of the computer for god knows how many damn hours. with the occasional phone calls. i eat. i continue stoning. no one goes out with me anymore. sobx. -.-i gotta stop stoning in front of the com doing nothing in particular. it's bad for the eyes. maybe i should do something more constructive. like copying lyrics. but perching on the sofa armrest and copying is not very comfy. i need a better spot. my neck's getting tired.
but if i put the laptop on the coffee table, the internet cable can't reach the laptop. sadly the wireless internet doesn't seem to work anymore. even if i do nothing online, i still like the feeling of BEING ONLINE. like on msn. if i'm not connected to msn, i feel like i'm missing out on something. like someone may be trying to talk to me but i'm not there. but as if there are people wanting to talk to me anyway.
i have about 120+ english songs on my computer. mostly downloaded by my friend who sends them to me. and 99% of them are love songs. sappy sappy love songs which i listen to for the comfort of my own ears. and my heart. lyrics are so meaningful, that's why i choose to waste my time copying them out.
besides friendster and blog-hopping, i have nothing else to do. for no one talks to me on msn anyway. i dun even have anything to blog about. back to the topic sentence: life is so boring. but i dun wanna leave singapore. i wanna stay for as long as it takes.

shopped around marine parade promenade.. got myself a lime-green jacket for five freaking bucks! =) then at the $1 store i got a little bag which i thought i could use as my lunch bag... it's so cute.. it's pink with monkey heads printed all over it.. haha.. then had dinner at the food court.. i ate nasi lemak.. yummie!! then took bus home...

deh-dee and mah-mee
things are so sian these days. let's blog about my deh-dee. my deh-dee hor, very strange de. sometimes i hate him, sometimes he can be very nice. e can be really boring, really fierce or just expressionless most of the time.i dislike him when he nags at the tiniest thing. like there's a straw wrapper on the floor and he'll be like "oi, yours right?" then i have no choice but to pick it up and throw away. once there was a piece of scrunched up tissue on the floor and then he said the same thing.. i was wondering HUH? but i just picked it up and tossed it in the dustbin anyway.. was giving my mah-mee the LOOK... surely is hers one lah..
and when i talk to my deh-dee, if you somehow interrupt him or give the impression that he's wrong, you kena scold... like he's saying something, and i always butt in and say "no, it's like this..." then he'll say, "see, everything you also say no first.." then he'll scold me. but the other way round, when i say "is like this right?" then he'll say no right away and say i'm wrong, then after awhile after he ponders about it, it turns out i'm right.. so it's the pot calling the kettle black..
he's like so... quiet.. you don't talk to him, he don't talk to you. when i tell him something he just says "uhh." and that's it. then when i try to tell him interesting things, he still goes "uhh." not even a hint of smile on his face. -.-
he's so calm. that time my mah-mee and i were laughing like mad over this one thing.. coz it was pretty late and i was talking to her mah, then i say "oi faster go and bathe leh, i want to sleep.." then she said "har? i bathe in your room one meh?" then we both cracked up like two nuts on the sofa... laughing for a full 10 minutes before laughing.. then my deh-dee was somewhere else.. when he came by, mah-mee told him what happened and he goes "uhh." again.. so boring eh.
but he's nice when he talks about his childhood. very nice to hear stories, and when i ask him questions he actually answers in a pleasant voice. when he's nice, he's nice. but he doesn't care about what you tell him. like not interested in your business at all. like for example "eh i oso!" then he just waves it off like nothing.
what a weird deh-dee i have. what about mah-mee you say? nothing much to say about her. she's the type of mah-mee that can talk rubbish with you.. =) enuff said. gotta go out with my deh-dee now. ciao!

patriotism
i shall talk about singapore, although national day was like.. yesterday.. well i must say i love this country a lot, even though i wasn't born here.. but my parents think otherwise.. i was telling my mum that i regretted not wearing red yesterday, she just waved it off like nothing, saying, "so what?" then i was asking her why didn't she remind me to wear, then guess what she said? "aiyah, i'm not as patriotic as you lor..." ahh what an answer.. i said, "then you love hong kong ar?" she said yes...but, singapore is MY home.. well i came here at the age of 5? and now i'm 17... not counting last year when i was in canada, i had been living here for like 10 years already.. i spent my childhood here, i spent my teenage years here... of course i have the sense of belonging...
i love the food here. chicken rice, char kway teow, carrot cake, hokkien mee, nasi lemak, roti prata... and the list goes on... although sometimes fattening but nevertheless tasty.. you cannot find this variety of food anywhere else...
i like little shops that sell trinkets like handphone accessories, keychains, jewellery, stuffed toys and more.. i'm talking about minitoons... even though it's damn expensive, it's always nice to go window shopping and it makes you feel nice inside...
only in singapore then can find pasar malams selling cheap goods... but i hardly get anything... unless i really really want it very badly..
only in singapore then can talk singlish and actually have someone who actually understands you... i feel totally comfortable speaking singlish.. the singaporean accent is very special to me...
i can't think of anything else for now.. even my parents lived here with me for 10 years, they don't sense anything for the country. maybe it's the fact that they grew up in hong kong... hahaha... every time national day rolls around i bug them to hang the flag.. they complain i am mad or something.. -.- crazy eh.. ahh nvm..

national day fireworks!
my posts are like always a day late... haha coz today is the 10th and i'm blogging about my national day.. oh well, the morning was spent online, and in the afternoon i met mary at city hall at about 4+pm, and boy it was so crowded! i was in a light-blue top and i didn't realize people were so patriotic and i regretted not wearing a red top to join in the red crowd... =(anyway when we got to the waterfront it's like already quite packed.. we went to the railings with some room for you to sit and we managed to find a spot just nice to fit our two butts.. and we sat. he took out homework and started doing math. and i helped him to copy his bio notes.. took some photos, and we did work and talked till about 6:30pm... all this while it got more crowded in front of us *our backs were facing the water*, with kiasu singaporeans bringing beach mats, and even pieces of cardboard, and sitting on them in the sun, some even with umbrellas.. all that effort to chope a good place to watch the fireworks, even if it does mean sitting there for 3-4 hours and doing nothing..
i think at close to 7pm, there were parachuters, planes flying in formation, planes carrying the state flag and circling around... everyone started getting excited and pointing at the sky... then later was the airshow, where uber-loud planes flew by and then we sat down again to wait for the fireworks at 8pm.. the only annoyance was the bloody loud music which was like really not my taste... we stuffed tissue paper in our ears and it improved things a little bit...
oh yea there was also the 21 gun salute over at marina bay... so loud! and we see the smoke before we hear the BOOM... this shows that light does travel faster than sound LOL and it was so loud each time they fired.. we could even see the waters moving coz of the firing... so cool...
then at about 8:15pm, the sky lighted up... gosh we were right under it... the feeling cannot be described man, standing right under the fireworks as it light rains down on you... took a bunch of pictures... on the left, marina bay, there were really colourful fireworks.. and on the right, the padang, there were vertical sparks shooting up... dunno where to look sia.. then 8:25pm got 2nd round.. the fireworks above us were the most spectacular, until little specks and sparks came raining down on us.. and we were like covered with little black pieces of stuff.. -.-
then we went to marina square and had dinner at 9pm.. i had char kway teow.. then we went to take the train home... surprisingly when we got to the city hall exit, there were security personnel blocking us off, saying the station's too overcrowded, must walk to bugis or raffles place station... on the way we were blocked again and then gradually we reached another city hall station exit and people were going in, so we went in too and just took the train home...
this is actually my first national day not spent at home watching the parade.. pretty fun... i wanna actually GO to the parade! and i dun mean the preview!!!! but fireworks was good enough.. :) go to chunz.multiply.com for the photos!

and we got a visit from bryan, likai and weiming.. they came, we sit and stare at each other, then went walking around orchard.. the three of them left after awhile, leaving the three of us roaming around somemore.. was window-shopping everywhere... never knew looking at a stationery shop could be so fun!! we took silly pics with signs.. but i shall not post them up here hahaha...
well it was sort of a fruitful shopping trip, but it wasn't me! kenneth bought something... hahaha.. and then we took the train home... sounds like a boring day but actually not...
anyway.. more fireworks tonight!! :)

fireworks!
whee just came back from fireworks!! kinda planned yesterday in a rush coz we totally forgot the fireworks were so soon..met mary at around 7pm, coz he got tuition till 6:30pm... then we took the train to city hall.. we were thinking maybe everyone would go to marina bay/ marina south to watch.. and we thought we were taking a risk by going to the esplanade.. coz we were not even sure whether we would be able to see from there or not... and so when we got to city hall, 3/4 of the people on the train got off... we realized uh-oh...
with all the people and the time being 7:20pm, we were 10 minutes shy of the fireworks... since it was supposed to start at 7:30pm.. so we ran, weaved through people, took little shortcuts and basically rushed through citylink mall, at the same time realizing that almost all the people in the mall were going the same direction... we squeezed onto the ultra-crowded escalators, and took the lift to the rooftop... sadly it was CLOSED... so we rushed down to the waterfront and we realized half of singapore had decided to take a risk like us... and we were thinking everyone would be at marina bay... 0.0
when we got outside the sky wasn't even totally dark and we didn't hear anything, so we walked all the way down away from the esplanade and found a nice spot to sit and watch... it finally started at about 7:50pm?? end up it was to our left instead of the front like we expected, and everyone stood up to watch... so we stood too and there was a bloody tree blocking our view... damn... haha but it was pretty spectacular... took lots of shots but most turned out blur... and they HAD to set off the fireworks BEHIND the bridge so the bridge blocks many of the lower fireworks... how SMART... the whole display was about 15 minutes??
so after that we went to marina square and walked around... went to the supermarket and looked at food, talking rubbish, and getting hungry... then we went to the foodcourt and he took so long to buy carrot cake... ok la not his fault mebbe 1/4 of singapore was milling around the mall... hahaha... we shared a big plate and finished eating at about 9:30pm.. then we walked to the mrt and took the train home... bo liao so we took to marina bay and back to dhoby ghaut.. then took nel... photowhoring most of the train ride... =D hahaha so many mad shots... well, at one point almost the whole car we were in were taking pics so why not join in the fun? hahaha...
one of the nicest days i've had in a long time... =) thanks for tonight!!! =D

august!
it's a big scary storm outside... and i'm stuck inside... nothing very much to update leh... yesterday went shopping with my aunt at orchard road lor... didn't buy anything... which is why i hate shopping at orchard road... coz it's all branded stuff and i am not one who goes for branded things..little kids have just so much energy... they eat quite a lot and they just MOVE so much... always running around, making up imaginary games and they can happily entertain themselves with just about anything.. why, my 2 cousins and their little friend came to my room and of course, i dun have any toys for them to play so they start grabbing my stationery, five stones, the alarm clock, springy animals, candy... basically anything they could reach on my desk and they started playing like crazy... hahaha... luckily i locked up all my important stuff in my drawers lol... i can't imagine what would happen if they discovered i have a mountain of stuffed toys in my closet... =X
holy crap it's august already! whee national day is coming!! i wanna go and see the fireworks.. would like to go to the parade too but no tickets and no one to go with!! hahaha i want the backpack full of stuff that they get when they go to the parade... hahaha...
