Would you like some makeup that will give you the red carpet treatment because Armani have the product for you its called Hollywood Palette 2006 and consists of a range of eye shadow shades these include golden black!!!!, harmony of violets, sophisticated mink brown and subtle sunset lilac these will give you a smouldering look while the shade of soft rose sheer shimmer will ad a glamorous glow to your skin

As you might've guessed, I want it =(
Studying seems to make me want to go shopping a lot.
Not that I've been studying s lot.

Anyway, change of plan. Dinner's on Sunday instead Of saturday!
which is awfully close to monday (in fact, its practically thre next day) but at least we're having it at all.

I was reading steph's meme on her blog a couple of days ago and it says that she has a boyfriend.
Being er....naturally curious and a very concerned friend.
I demanded that she spill the beans as i was mailing her anyway
So here's some exerpts from her reply (which i have full permission to post)
btw, they're verbatim.

Steph:
haha. as for boyf. it was very shortlived. he noes the add of my blog hence i havent been able to post public stuff. if oni you were an LJ member too. ive been posting more locked posts which oni other members can read. ive mentioned him before. he's the one that used to date cassie. except he was a little too keen (read: horny goat weed) and me being the independent woman that i am, couldnt take it. altho on one of our dates he took me to the movies and then a realli nice restaurant for dinner. =P so i havent been able to bring myself to break up with him yet so we're kind of on a break. (er till end of the year) mind you it was his choice we didnt completely break up which i think is stupid cuz he has to wait for soo long. erm... wot else.. he's in yr11, altho our age, which makes him sort of like a toyboy since im ahead in terms of year level.. he's quite mature, quite tall, very sporty (which doesnt bode well for me cuz i DONT do sport), speaks german.. yea. that's all i remember for now. hmmm.. i forgot wot i was going to say. meh this is soo typical. oh yes. and im soo gonna dump him by next yr. i cant go to uni and still be dating a high school boy. there are much bigger fish to catch out there. whee.

It was sooo typically stephish that I burst out laughing just thinking about it the entire day.

and there's more from today

Steph:

haha. you have permission to put my reply up. we broke up this evening (the boyfriend and i) when he called after dinner having sent me a text i hadnt replied too.. see what i said about being too keen? sheesh. anyways.. yea. good thing too. im now free to catch the big fish at uni next yr. the conversation went something along the lines of :

me: hiya how are you? (trying to avoid the impending question was about as hard as pretending a pink hippo that had just walked into the room wasnt there)
him: ermm good. you?
me: fine. how was ur week?
him: erm fine. slightly tiring and boring
me: ahh. so what's up?
him: did you get my text?
me: text? you mean the one that suggested not a break (his goat-like persistence) but a seeing less of each other agreement?
him: er.. well yea that one and the one i just sent 2 secs ago
me: ahh. nope.
him: well, can i just ask wot's going on?
me: well you opted for a break (trying to avoid 'break-up')
him: i guess i did. well would you just like to reconsider this?
me: uh huh. mebe a break isnt such a good idea...
him: (his eagerness can be heard over the phone)
me: i dont think its gonna work out. we are erm quite different. you do SPORT!
him: well..
me: yea. i had a realli good time and thank you but i think this has got to be a break break
him: ahh.. soo not permenant? we can give it a shot at teh end of teh year?

at this point i wanted to shoot myself. but after a bit of cajoling he resigned to the fact that he wont be hearing from me in the near future. poor guy. i get bored soo quickly yanni!! how the hell am i ever gonna settle down and marry a guy till 'death do us part'? this was the longest relationship id ever been in and it was a mere month and a few weeks. it'll be more like. 'i take thee as beloved wedded husband- till the next funnier, more attractive guy comes along'. to his credit he did try his best.

haha guys, steph is not really the man eater that she sounds like at the mo. She just hasn't met the right guy. So if you ever do get her to go on a long term relationship with you, it just proves that you're incredibly interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

going to mv to shop for pressies for the rents with my sister. See what I mean about zero studying done???

I forgot the reason why I blogged today and i went off to study bio after the last post
now i remember

I read this paragraph in the travelling pants book. and it is for us

It wasn't that we hadn't shared the big outlines of our stories.
Of course we had.
I told them about how al's wedding was.
We knew that Bee had messed herself up over Eric. We all saw Lena talk abou Kostos in a way she'd never talked about a boy before.
We knew about Bailey, and we knew intuitively to be careful when we asked Tibby questions.
But there were a million little lines of shading that we couldn't convey so easily.
They were the subtle things, and understanding them, even knowing when you missed them,
was
what separated other friends from real friends, like we were.

THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS LYRICS

"Seventeen Ain't So Sweet"

well she never was the best
yeah at following the trends
stayed one step above the rest
and even though it seemed

like the world was crushing on her
didnt let it hold her down even hold her back
oh no

dont worry you'll show them
theres a fire in your eyes
and i hope youll let it burn
theres a scream in your voice
and i hope you will be heard
theres a fire in your eyes
and i hope you'll let it burn until youre heard
youre heard

seventeen is just a test
yeah and i would recommend
that you live with no regrets
and even if it seems

like the world was crushing on you
you shouldnt let it hold you down
shouldnt hold you back
oh no
oh no

dont worry you'll show them
theres a fire in your eyes
and i hope youll let it burn
theres a scream in your voice
and i hope you will be heard
theres a fire in your eyes
and i hope you'll let it burn until youre heard
youre heard

relax girl
turn down the lights
no one can see you shining
relax girl
itll be alright
no one can stop you if you tried

point of rhythm is the fall await in time
to listen to the beating in your mind
remember if you seek then you shall find
woah oh

phew......Holidays are here.....................

I know. It means more studying. not seeing your friends. having no life till SPM's over

BUT

it also means not having to see matthews or goh for a whole week

and besides

I LOVE STUDYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, why wouldn't I?

poor sarah got her mp3 confiscated today. Hopefully Ian has enough sense to buy

her a better one.

I made zaru soba yesterday for the gathering from scratch. it was not bad. considering that was my first time trying it out.

sarah was unlibrarianed on Moanday

SO WHAT???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Words of wisdom from vicky. I'm trying to believe in it.

we're having dinner before school starts. not celebrating anything. Just to eat together.

After this, life will never be the same. more W.O.W from vicks.

Liber lunch was on wednesday. Sarah got to come. Boss is sooo nice.

The food was yummy although I found mandarin's furniture slightly cheap.

Most bodies seem happy. even lynn.

Lynnie sometimes I'm glad you're trying but sometimes i'm exasperated that you're fooling yourself. but for now i'm mostly glad you're trying.

Because when i think about it, i might have done the same

Not all those who wander are lost. random quote.I read this somewhere and i just thought it sounded cool.

Since we've done the whole bonding/desperate housewives thing during concert

itf feels strange that we don't see each other so often anymore.

It never felt like this before.

Its like I'm suddenly aware of where we went wrong and now its reverted back to 'the old ways' and i feel empty + emotionally drained + empty + empty

i want my heart back.

a long long time ago, I gave it away.

but i never really got it back

except that i couldn't really see it and now i dont know how.

and

I WANT FALSE EYELASHES

I Know its unladylike

and against my better judgement

but they're GORGEOUS

especially with the diamentes

Now i see that, maybe she's trying afterall. =)

its final. I'm not to participate inthe school concert.

But not before a whole episode of drama was 'unveiled'.

Firstly,

madam anne and grace did not say that I had an attitude problem.

So they were pissed that evryone thought so

I can accept that.

But they were pissed that I told evryone my side of things

WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?? JUST MAGICALLY KNOW

THAT GOH WAS MAKING IT UP ?????????

and

THE VICE PRINCI-PAL IS A LIAR

the choir teachers never said that I had an attitude problem.

whatever they said about me was meant to be positive.

and when they confronted the vp

SHE F**(%ing TOLD THEM THAT SHE NEVER TOLD ME SUCH THINGS

THE HAG FRAMED ME

Now the rents insist on going to school to clear things up

should i let them?????

The VP might hate me forever

Special thanks to evryone who supported me and even went to see the vp (jiashyuan)

my class 5L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

form 5'ers,dancer blablabla

and most of all, people in my dance sarah,lynn,bee,gee,elsa,stef,sher,soonk,aiman,jiashyuan etc.

madam vicky , madam gina

I love you all.

I miss dancing and hanging with them already. Its bad enough that I wont see them as much after this.

cannot believe i'm not in the last concert of my life. *stabs somebody*

evrything works out for the best. at least they gave me my money back

poor cassie is my replacement. its not easy for her.

Enough

Today I was thrown out of the school concert.

By Madam Goh. (new vice principal)

because she caught me with my collar and cuffs unbottoned. Thrice.

Thereby I am showing open defiance of not just an ordinary teacher. but to the

school heads.

what absolute tosh.

I was in such shock when they told me that i forgot to apologise to the two fat heads

thews : Girl, it is obvious that you cannot obey us. SAY IT!!! SAY IT NOW! "I Cannot

Obey!!!!"

yan: (of course there is no way that i can say it, it would be a sign of acutally

obeying) I beg your pardon? (pretends to be deaf)

thews: *ROLLS EYES* Nevermind!!!!!! So do you have anything left to say (by then they've

already decided to remove me from concert. and i suppose they wanted me to apologise)

yan: thinks:OMG this is really happening what are we gonna do??? Concert's in TWO DAYS!!

poor Jia shyuan. what are the rest gonna do to fill up the holes????? says: NO

AAAHH!! So i realised later that I had to aplogise no matter what.

But i couldn't do it.

Firstly, I was not sorry and I did nothing wrong.

But I was pretty sorry that I did not say sorry before.

WHY IS IT WRONG TO UNBUTTON YOUR SLEEVES

IN HOT WEATHER AFTER DANCE PRACTICE??

even saying it in my head sounds ridiculous.

so eventually evrybody I asked told me to just go ahead to apologise.

I swallowed my pride (something i dont do often) and pottered off to the office

and was met with even more drama and nonsense

Apparently, some choir teachers blabbed that I had an attitude problem when they were in the office (about half an hour before me)

and that I'm aloof and snooty

and therefore am not fit to be in the concert

even if i was aloof and bla bla bla

WHY IS THAT EVEN A PROBLEM???????!!!!

and apparently I saved my mom's number as Queen E.

WHY IS THAT THEIR BLINKING PROBLEM???????!!!!!

I feel so betrayed. I dont even mind what goh accused me of being. Because they're not true.

I dont feel the need to rectify anything. I just feel betrayed that the ahem aforesaid choir teachers would

say it. why are they so childish??

they've got the opening act and their finale!!

Isn't that enough??????

and goh says i'm not wesleyan

but i dont want to be her wesleyan if i have to be spineless, grovelling and have to have to be ms sunshine

all the time.

I am our own wesleyan. The form's idea of wesleyan. just being us.

real people with individuality , integrity and reason

my heart is so tired of all the ridiculous unecessary drama that seems to dominate our live

I'm tired of trying

we're tired of trying

nothing we say makes a difference

I dont think she cares anyway

but it seems wrong to give up.

its against evrything that i've ever been taught to believe

that is:

you should never give up if your heart is true. because you will prevail in the end

but its hopeless

All i need is some kind of indication that she's trying too

But everyday evidence that she isn't trying grows stronger

and i ask myself why am i so blind??

cant I see that she doesn't want to try?

I feel stupid willingly blinding myself and believing that she wants to try as much as i do

but in the end i still have faith

a blind person can see what a person with vision cannot.

How now brown cows??

You Are Chicken

Bah! You're hardly meat. But you are quite popular, and people aspire to taste like you.
You're probably quite skinny and free of vices. Except letting people eat your eggs.

What Kind of Meat Are You?

I Just want to go and smell what its like

Really

I will not obsess about it.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

IWANNIT! IWANNIT!IWANNIT!iWANNIT!IWANNIT!!!!!

sigh, I really should start/be studying now
I've finally found a place for the liber lunch, mandarin oriental but it costs 80 dollars. Most of the board dont mind paying, but now the form 3/4's are trying to revolutionize. and so is Zubaidah. Geez.
It's not like she's paying any money to have lunch at a 5 star hotel. and she keeps creating hypothetical problems like how the parents will complain about the price. we havent even tried asking yet.

The offer from the Coconut house was really good though. Only 40 per person for authentic Italian food, about 27 dishes AND its a private function just for us. But because of one person, 45 people have to sacrifice such a good deal because its not ooking halal. Apparently all the crockery and cutlery in the place has been contaminated by prok even though I'm not even serving it on the menu.
its also not posh enough.

apparently.

and now mandarin is too expensive cuz we have to foot the bill for three useless bums

I think they're problem is that they dont know what they want.

Its driving me crazy.

me, wee nie and BEE BEE (picture courtesy of her) at Aiman's party

It was a pool party but we decided no to get wet ( amazingly, we managed to stary reasonably dry) We had fun and hung out with Julia and talkedandtalkedandtalked.
It's amazing how she's matured so much now.
