Hellooooooooo I’m finally in the mood to blog again. It’s friday again!! It’s scary how time flies.

School life is as usual, mundane. 4E1 moved to the first floor, for the second time in the month. First, Kieron injured  his knee, and now, poor Adeline pulled her ligament. Ber told me she wants to pull her ligament too. Why? “Because it seems fun!” Speechless…

If you noticed, the number of baldies in our school is increasing tremendously. Anna told me that 4E4 has turned into a “shao-lin school”. HAHA!! So hilarious. Cedric’s included in that school because he shaved his head in attempt to mock Mr Muru. Well… sort of. Now they have the same hairstyle. Don’t ask me why he must go to the extent to mock someone. Rather amusing though. I never knew that a bald head was so intriguing. Now every time I spot Cedric and his shaved head, I would have the tendency to rub his head. I can’t help it!! It just keeps calling out to me.

The juniors are going to take part in SIBF this July. A part of me feels like participating too. Sadly, the Sec 4s are going to be omitted so the juniors have to do it on their own. Good luck to them…

Did I mention that my sis is back from Boston? Yeah and she brought back more clutter to the room. Thanks for the contribution sis!! Luckily my family don’t spring clean to usher in CNY or there would be lots of work to do. Phew!

Yum  My Mum is making pineapple tarts and the aroma from the kitchen is making my mouth water. Ahhhh feel like indulging in some now. Actually, I don’t want the pineapple. I just want the tart, dough, whatever you call it. But Mum says I can’t have any till CNY! Damn. For now, I shall treat myself to the goodness of cheesecake as a substitution. I need to suppress the temptations.

Speaking of pineapple tarts, CNY is just around the corner! I am so ecstatic because I absolutely love this festive season. How many umpteen times have I mentioned this? HAHA. But I always feel so sinful for snacking too much.

Shan says that the soap in the earlier post resemblance jelly. Hmmm… to me, it looks more like upper-grade chocolates. Oh well, they just look edible don’t they?

Feeling hungry…

Bye

Fuck. I feel horrible. No wait, I am so horrible… this suck big time. Fuck it.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR <3

ALICIA <3

Spent practically my entire day with her. We took a 40 mins bus ride home and we took loads of photos to kill time. The 40 mins journey felt like 15 mins to me. Being a very nice friend, I took 156 with her all the way to compass point, and from there, I took 161 home. I could’ve simply taken 88 home – direct bus ok!!

psst… I secretly love taking bus, especially long rides.

Yesterday was a pretty long day for me. I had to go to school early in the morning when I could be sleeping in till noon. Mr Lim made us do an English  mock test. Why couldn’t he arrange it after school!! At the end of the paper, me, Andreas and Eben rushed off. While both off them were having tuition, I was tutoring my cousin.

Honestly, I am on the verge of giving up. How can anyone be as stubborn as Jovan! He sucks my blood, he seriously does. He complained that I am giving him too much questions and he fucking cried, just so he can get his way. What a brat! In the end, his Mum sent him upstairs to bathe and he never came back down to complete his work. Left my Aunt’s place fuming…

 Took a cab to compass to meet Shan, Andreas and Eben. We did our homework at Macs and Shan came to distract us. While we did our work, she was listening to her iPod. She started off by doodling, then slowing she started writing lyrics. She was actually trying to catch the lyrics she heard on her iPod and was scribbling like mad. Andreas and I thought it seemed challenging, so, we whipped out our phone and started speed texting. As the song goes, we start to type the lyrics as fast as we could. Then we would compare and see who got the lyrics most precisely. We’re training our finger dexterity you see… it was quite fun. It managed to keep us occupied for a couple of hours and we eventually forgot to complete our work. Thanks Shan…

Tomorrow is MacDonalds Monday!! Which means I would be meeting the usual gang for breakfast before heading to school.

see ya’ll

YES THERE IS EARLY DISMISSAL TOMORROW!! We’ll be released at 11.20am. I know it’s only about an hour earlier compared to the normal timing, but it means a lot to me because my class always have one extra lesson on Fridays. Which means, we would be dismissed TWO hours earlier!!

But on the down side, there’s a mock English test on SATURDAY morning! Why must Mr Lim do this to us? What a wet blanket! Spoilt my saturday plans.

I am very disappointed with myself, exceptionally lazy this entire week. Did nothing productive. Sigh… why do I lack determination? What’s wrong with me? Damn it. I’ll find myself an excuse and blame it on “the time of the month”.

THERE IS THREE FUCKING TEST NEXT WEEK. GREAT…

Poor Cedric injured his big toe yesterday. I feel sorry for him but not entirely because it benefits me. All I have to do is to threaten to press his bruised toe and I will have my way  Very mean I know… just a joke!!

So yesterday, Cedric took off his shoe and sock at the LRT station to show me his toe. Very uncivilised of him right! Anyway, I was examining his toe which was in the shade of my favourite colour. I used my fingers to press it lightly, checking the condition of his purple toe.

Right after that, we had lunch at KFC and I realise that I tucked in WITHOUT WASHING MY HANDS!! I was eating chicken mind you… so I used my fingers right? The same fingers that I used to touch Cedric toe… I need to inculcate the habit of washing my hands before I eat when I’m in public. Usually I’m very lazy to walk to the toilet to wash it. Stupid Ber only reminded me after I finish indulging in the smelly-toe-stench-chicken.  

I hate mice

I hate rats

I hate mice

I hate rats

hate it hate it hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not afraid of heights, dogs, cats, lizard, insects etc…  BUT I LOATHE RATS AND MICE. Ya la, afraid of them too.

Today is such an unlucky day because a mouse actually scampered into my class. I was fucking scared that I jumped onto the chair the minute I spotted it. So embarrassing! It was running around wildly in the class as if it’s his playroom. Andreas and Yan Hong managed to chase it out of the class eventually…  PHEW!!

That is what I hate about classrooms on the ground floor. Easy access for the mouse. The mouse would NEVER choose to work it’s way up eight fleet of stairs just to enter the classroom on the 4th storey. So you are relatively safe there. Mice and rats free paradise.

Mice and rats are very gross. They scamper in the drain and they still have the cheeks to come into my class and scurry all over the floor with their stupid, tiny, dirty feet!! So angry ):

When I told Shan about my encounter, she had a dig at me. She said that no matter how dirty or yucky the mouse is, it still can’t compete with me cause I’m far worse. Hello?!! I am so hygienic ok.

Stomach cramps so bad…

Sis leaving for Boston on Monday…. I’ll be so lonely at home.
