This is bad. I have to stop this. Let me entertain you with my intelligent, quirky banter in a narration of today's events, that will somehow link to your lives through mine. Go storytelling.

Woke up at 7 to sms HuiJuan about Physics lesson, cos I'm not going to be late again (like I have been for all my Physics lessons on Saturdays), especially not 1 plus hour. Drifted back and forth to sleep wondering if she'll sms back, keeping me on the edge of "Should I skip this or not?".

Why I'm a bad student

1. Why wake up on a Friday morning during a holiday to go all the way to school?

2. My SPA file is less than ready. (Guilty as charged) Yeah... I'll probably end of doing copies of SPAs I didn't bother to dig out.

3. When I get there, I'd probably feel like tearing my test to shreds cos it wouldn't make the least sense to me.

4. Falling asleep in class sounds tempting, might as well snuggle up in my nice warm bed.

5. Don't think I'll understand everything that Mr Ng will talk about, the rest of the class will be like "OOOOOOOOO~" and Hui Juan will be like "But why?!!" and I'll be like "Relax, it's probably *crap explanation*, I dunno *slips into lalaland*" . Then Mr Ng will be slapping his forehead (inwardly, i can read teachers okay.) and say erm... logic governed by the laws of Physics that don't make any sense.

Why I'm a good student

1. I can't stay in bed past 10 or 11 anymore, and have the temptation to slip back into sleep. Being forced to go to school is a good thing. No more of such terrible habits that spring their ugly head during holidays.

2. I'll feel really really really bad about skipping. My conscience wouldn't forgive me for snubbing Mr Ng like I was some kind of diva by turning up fashionably late (it's never fashionable to be late though...no matter how late I turn up, I do understand this and try my best to get my lazy ass off the bed), or not turning up at all (it really bugs me, especially if I know I did have control over my actions, it's not like I was knocked out completely. I was half-awake at 7 for goodness sake)

3. Kept awake by the word to be a good girl, and it doesn't help that it so happened to be the birthday of the friend my mouth had to open and say "okok I'll try". As again, I was half-awake. It's a concious effort.

4. Damn, I have to stop saying things I might not be able to fulfil. I made a big big promise (to Someone more important of course, so going to need all the help I can get) to take care of myself. And going for Physics is like, a huge neon sign going blink blink "What are you waiting for? Get off the bed you... sloth? (so my friends, do not commit one of the seven deadly sins, especially if you have control over yourself)". Oh yeah... running from temptation is definitely better than resisting it headfirst.

5. If I never went, I'll never know. He might not ask for the SPA file, I'll magically know how to save my Physics test (fat chance), Data Source questions are actually my thing and I can do them so much better than Literature (sarcasm to be taken at the fullest). Or I can mooch off Hui Juan's data source and expect myself to understand everything that he says.

6. Maybe there'd be so little people turning up he wouldn't even touch SPA or Data Source. *crosses fingers* Eventually, I'll have to do both anyways, if not today, next next week in school. Worst still, have the test when I go back to school staying back like a sucker.

You can guess which was it that I picked. For the 17 other classmates that turned up that is.

Amazingly, simply because within the time I waited anxiously for Hui Juan's sms, and never once hoping that Mr Ng would cancel the lesson, being thrown back and forth to sleep and my conflicting thoughts, simply on whether I should turn up or not, would lead me to a descision that I should fulfil if not for anyone else, myself.

I guess it's a good thing I was unable to fully go back to sleep after 7am messaging Hui Juan. Simply from that one hour of questioning the 2 sides in my head, I guess it's brought home a bigger conflict that goes beyond going for Physics lesson on a Friday morning in September's bestest non-school week, which I guess I've got that covered.

Well... Physics was just a test and going through of the test, after that consultation which I didn't stay for, since I came empty handed for consultation materials. No SPA file, no Data Source (oh yeah!) *uncrosses fingers*

Despite being groggy, it's quite impressive that I'd probably have scored the same (as badly) as when I'm fully awake. At least I didn't panic ... just stare at the paper and reason with the little I remember, before deciding Faraday's Law (the only thing I really studied) would come into handy. Still can't believe I scored full for a.c generator when I don't know all the shit about it.

(I've never had alcohol as itself, though don't partake in vodka, bacardi, booze etc. will explain this later). Like being all groggy, half-asleep, half-dreaming, like running through virtual reality, all detached and pale. Sniffling and my mucus tap just won't turn off, my hair looking sick, yup sick. I'm more inaudible than usual, mumbling things that I don't hear and expect fully of others to hear it. And I feel like I can push my hand into anyone's face just to shut them up.

Mhmm hmmm girl you gotta stop this. I know I can't wake up every morning like I've gotten a hangover though I've never drank before. I guess the bigger conflict resolved would be knowing that besides laziness, it is just the fact that I don't want to get up at all cos getting up just reminds me of a school day where there's so much shit ahead.

I'm not a morning person, and it certainly isn't one of those rare days when I get up and say "Today, I shall conquer the world".

I suppose the reason why I don't want to go to sleep would be that it would be ending my favourite part of the day, which involves no school and no stress, well not a lot of it anyway. (This is after much thought. Not very much an excuse to me)

Time to stop running away. I guess I just gotta let it stop getting to me and biting me in the ass. Maybe that's why I had to make that promise - I never trusted myself to overcome this demon alone because it sure goes beyond liking to hibernate. More of the alluring comfort of sleep, that when I'm in a different realm, at least the subconcious where no one can touch me.

Perhaps because I felt so weak wanting to keep this to myself and not talk about it that I've never really given it much thought. You don't say prayers without a reason and I suppose when I was half-asleep, I've been wanting some help with this. And there the promise slips through my lips, since I know I won't ever be alone on this.

There's a whole day ahead for me to go after, and too much sleep will deprive that.

Goodnight and Good Morrow.

Arrr kena tagged again. :p Oh well, anything to do crapping. Sorry, interpersonal relationship understanding. I'll make this as interesting as possible. This one's by Stephanie, gosh the questions are all the same. Oh well, it's about time I make my own quiz with questions that are really hard to answer. This is why you can't put creativity with a laptop.

#1 What is the most important thing in your life?

Hmm ... please refer to the banner on the right => under the column that says "What Matters" thank you very much.

#2 When was the last time you bought something with your own money?

Uhh ... allowance = own money? not parents' money anymore? Following this logic, then I bought lunch with "my own money"

#3 Where do you wish to get married?

Another stressful question. HEH too bad I don't have to worry about this till 10 years from now! I dunchknow. In a church? What if your husband is not Christian? With lots of people? Hmm, no exclusivity? With too little people? Sounds like you don't have enough relatives or friends to attend. On a plane? Someone is bound to get airsick. Underwater? No ... the shark will be the best man, since the best man will get eaten, much to my delight. You see, locations, traditions and practicality are hard to come by. In a ballroom in KL (like my cousin?) Sure when the money is no problem, which is like ... no way. Next qn!

#4 How old do you think you will be permanently owned by your love?

Gosh, the grammar, the sentence structure is killing me! Don't you mean "At what age do you think you will be permanently owned by your love?" Wow, even then the content sounds wrong. It's an invalid question! According to the UN Charter, no one human being can be owned by another! Okay, to not take this literally, who am I to question what is in store for me, so I won't give the standard answer "20 plus lor"

#5 Are you in love?

Wow, this is the most privacy-intruding quiz ever. Well yes I am. What's there not to love? Love is all around us, since it is the driving force for any kind of relationship, and we swim around it, since it's everywhere. So technically, I am in love.

#6 Where was the last restaurant you had dinner?

SAKURA!

#7 Name the latest book you bought?

Hmm, an A4 exercise book, super thick for 4 bucks.
O level chinese oral guide, which I will be forced to read under the most threatening circumstances that is my mother.

#8 Do you prefer your mother or your father?

How dare you ask me to choose between them. Well, i prefer my mum and dad to you, for sure (:

#9 Name a person you really wish to meet in real life?

Hmm, you mean someone that I would probably never meet? Yes, put me on the line with Shakira thank you.

#10 Christina or Britney

I'll take Christina any day! Britney does have some nice tunes, but Christina's singing chops make her one of the best vocalists in the world. Raw talent and not a lot of confusion that fame causes, Christina wins hands down. Raw singing talent, intelligent ideas and the strength to pull through? Brit's coming up, but Christina has gone from crass to class, what's not to like?

#11 Do you even do your own laundry?

Well, yeah. Depends on what kind of laundry.

#12 The most exciting place you want to go to?

Latin America. Mmm, the spice and flavour, plus the all the dramatic-ness that comes along with it.

#13 Hugs or Kisses?

Depends on who gives them actually. For example, I can't decide oh whether I like my cousin's dog's drool all over my cheek and maybe on my lip. Dogs love me. Sometimes, I prefer to give them a cuddle

#14 Point out 5 things about the person who tagged you?

Small, cannot-handle-a-credit-card-for-sure, small, loves Mandopop, small, musically-inclined, small, enthusiastic, small.

5. Juniors - love em', hate em-, live with them. You can't be so easily pissed with them, you won't last long.
6. Interpersonal relationships - I REALISE that I am able to pick up social cues that they don't want people to find out, read people, and describe to the littlest detail. Oh, awareness.
7. Self - I'm luckier than a lot of people.
8. Life - Life can't wait, too short for regrets. Never let anyone tell you that you can't. I'm more capable than I/other people know.

Hmm ... first day of Sec 3. Or one of the first days. (: Very pleasant surprise to have her register number just before mine. She sat next to me for morning assembly and while everyone got bored of Ms Tham's perennially bo-ring speech. And one of us started the conversation and whoopedoo. She was absolutely lovely.

What would you do if u have not met Number1? (Sharon)

I would not have understood people better, have my patience tested, have her patience tested, improved myself as a person and a friend, know what I'm capable of, lack of a good friend (one of the best I might add), have this much fun, know more about Japanese stuff, have one less person to care about me, known that everyone has somewhat the same issues, known about vicious people that I must be careful of, someone to tell me the truth for my own good (THE LIST IS ENDLESS I WILL END HERE SHARON YOU PROBABLY TOTALLY LOVE ME NOW)

Will Number6 and Numver17 date each other? (Durga and Mr Wan)

Well Durga would prefer someone closer in her age group? And mr wan is way off the age group. He's actually 12 years our cca senior (: now cca teacher. No Mr Wan! You can't go to the dark geeky side of the Explorers'! We won't let them! Oh and um .. Clement, Mangala, Shawn and I saw Mr Wan with ... our sch's new music teacher Miss Lim at Mac's arh!! I'm a responsible sec 4 senior. I said nothing, you heard nothing.

Do they even know each other? Plus they're not lesbians. Please refrain from making any remark about my les-ness (if you have the idea that I'm les) They're both girls, and straight for that matter. Plus, my baby cousin ShawnLAU is too cute to be ShawnLIM. Betcha don't get 4 girls kissing you when you're only a toddler, yeah?

Do you think Number8 is attractive? (Yong Quan)

No. Well for one thing I don't hit on, fawn over, favour, etc. guy juniors to begin with in the first place. I wouldn't want my seniors to do that, though some of them used to.

Do you know any family members of Number12? (Alvin)

She's a girl. Everyone flirts with everyone. Heyy Ruthie ~

Would you ever date Number1? (Sharon)

A self-proclaimed boy! (who is unfortunately a girl) I have "dated" her before for a few seconds when we were bored in class. (: Fleeting relationships.

Is Number19 single now? (Celestine)

Gosh I don't know! Most likely yes. But then again, if it's a girls' school we're talking about ... freaky things happen due to the lack of prescence of boys.

Would you ever be in a r/s with Number11? (Hairil)

Oh my God what a stressful question!!! - stresses- Duh, NO.

What's the school of Number3? (Hafizah)

Secondary: Jurong Sec. No ... after today, NJC :D!

Primary: Lakeside, Merlimau, Telok Kurau (oh wow i remembered!)

Where does Number6 stay? (Durga)

Not sure actually, but she alights bus 98 after me, so it's gotta be inner Jurong West or Jurong East. Anywhere along that stretch!

What's your favourite thing about Number5? (StephL)

Oh my why do I always get questions like these for y good pals? God's testing me now haha. I love her sincerity and acceptance to be a good friend no matter what I do, even if some people might not agree so.

Kylie Minogue: Did it again (1997)

One of the best chereographed concept vids with great music.

To the lovely darling Steph.L who FINALLY tagged me! Ha! I knew I was loved enough to receive this. - hugs self - This is going around pretty well ... might be one of the biggest blog specials going around the net. Wow, all the Stephanies I know aren't mean bitches, so I love em' too.

You're dying to find out my deepest, darkest secrets to self discovery. Come one, you know you are. Oh yeah, I'm not gonna expose all my secrets like a splash tabloid story, so you gotta be smart and figure out my ambigous words. I'm not telling it all baby.

1. How long will you wait for someone you love?

When my patience exceeds me. So far, it's never failed me, and I doubt (like never!) it would fail me. So, go figure out what I said.

2. What do you want to do now?

Be my best self, and take a stroll down the wet after-rain Singapore streets with no one else but you. If it starts raining, I'll pull on my jacket and share my umbrella with you. I'm sweet, I know. There will be wet leaves on the ground, nice-smelling trees above, and no one in the world is there to look upon us in our raw selves except for you and I, and the lamps that provide minimal light in the cool air. We can talk about anything, do anything, and people would be asleep, so they can't judge us with their eyes literally closed, though they usually do.

3. What will you be doing at 6pm?

Tomorrow? Swimming. On weekdays, slacking at home after musical or school. Dumb qn, I'm gonna replace you!

4. Do you hate your friends sometimes?

Never. NEVER. N-E-V-E-R. nunca!
Simply because, to hate is a very strong feeling of duh ... hatred. It's practically next to indifference. If you feel hatred for a person, how can that be a friend? You feel annoyed, pissed off, but never hatred. It's as simple as that. If I hate you, you're not my friend. But I don't do that to my friends. I'm just angry at how you're behaving, the effed situation, but not you yourself. You can't choose family members, but you can choose you friends.

5. Where do you wish to die?

Not in any gruesome situation, like accidents, murders, hospitals etc. Eeeee. I'd like to die with a smile on my face, and in the arms of my loved one. And definitely not in front of someone who will freak out and die when they see me die. I know, my disappearance in the world will totally cause people to freak out and die.

6. Do you believe in seeing a rainbow after rain?

Yes I totally do. Never fails to cheer me up that there's always hope glimmering beyond the grey skies. If I could catch one, and follow it till it's end before it disappears, I'd keep it in a little glass jar and release it when I choose to for different people. And also for underpriviledged people. I know, siao fantasy, but I've always wanted to do that since pri.sch.

7. What impossible things to do you wish to do?

a) Meet Shakira, like seriously meet her. Not just 2 seconds of OMG I WANT YOUR AUTOGRAPH AND IF YOU TOUCH MY HAND I'M NEVER GONNA WASH IT EVER AGAIN!

b) Go to the most undiscovered places of the world at anytime with anyone I choose to.

c) Write a name across the sky, in a huge cornfield (and make people think it's crop circles made by aliens with a huge crush on you oooooh ~) .. etc. My imagination decides.

d) All of the above and anything my crazy mind comes up with. I'd like to do whatever I want to do.

8) Your darkest secret?

Alright ... shhh ... here comes ... I think I'm smarterer than you ... Okay! xP what else want me to say?!

9) Are you happy with your life now?

Can serve for some improvements, but good enough. I'm not complaining now. I'm far better off than real-life cases of misery that I know about.

10) What would you do if your crush asked you out?

Check if he's lying. So hard to trust these days, eh? Since I am unable to provide pictures, let me paint one in your head. My heart will stop beating, my breathing slows to a stop in collected gasps, I will look down at my feet and the floor and see the outlines of my shoes. If I'm not noticing, the ends of my jaws will curl and my eyes regain liveliness. My hands will push whatever strands of hair behind my ear.

Then a sense of euphoria, I won't stop smiling, everything accelerates from inside of me when the world comes to a stop. It would be like, our time travel sequence from musical ... spinning 5 times and ending up in a happy heap. I can feel nothing but the warmth flooding through my veins and the excitement that takes away sleep.

I can't look at you, I won't look at you. If you look closely, the look on my face will be the equivalent of the eighth wonder of the world. "yes". When you're gone, the cycle repeats with interludes of "OMG I'M THE FRIGGING LUCKIEST GIRL IN THE WHOLE WORLD AREN'T YOU JEALOUS?! WOOOOTS!" And I can't stop bouncing up and down and singing love anthems and thanking God. "Read my lips, I'm into you, I'm into you!" - Kylie Minogue Don't mind me, I'm practising narrative now in a simple way. but the essence is there.

But of course, every situation is different. Plus, I haven't made a lot of mistakes with crushes before, at least not as bad as some that I know of. My crush better like every part of me, for I have a reason for everything.

11) Describe your other half

Wanna know? My other half is ... ME! I'm beautiful! I'm beautiful! I'm beautiful it's true!!!! - goes off tune -

12) What will you do when you fall in love with your best guy/girl friend?

Let things fall together. I'd know what to do, even if I don't, something will happen and we'll follow what is written on history-to-be-made.

13) What feeling do you hate the most?

Can't decide ... the negative ones that I'm unable to control. Yeah, that's it, when I'm unable to control myself or the things I want to control.

14) What's the best day you ever had.

I had many of them, in different days, so I can't decide. x) Life's a buffet with a lot of classy confectioneries to choose from at the dessert platter. For one: to feel something wonderful never felt before, possible never by people you know. Isn't that the case for everyone of them? For something special to happen?

15) The most important thing in Life

Love. It is the power that is the driving force behind everything. God, family, friends, values, etc. we find them important because love makes us feel that way and thus it creates the spur for the us puny humans to be able to do things beyond our imagination.

16) Who do you hope to always be there for you?

Isn't it obvious? Everything I mentioned above.

17) Do you find life meaningless?

Read this blog, there are times when I have, times where I haven't. Since I'm in a positive mood now, I shall keep my words for a memory. We all have a part to play, which is why God gave us a role in someone or our lives. He didn't give us noseholes to breathe for nothing, so we gotta put His gifts to use, means if He has something in stall for us, life will always have a meaning, no matter how hopeless it gets. Otherwise, we wouldn't even be born. Nobody is ever a mistake to begin with.

Even my pathetic uncle, he sucks, but his sole reason for living is probably to be a comfort to my grandad that there's been a male heir to ensure continuity in the family line (yeah he's the old China kind). Therefore, in this twisted manner, his life wasn't completely meaningless, though it gave my grandpa headaches, which I feel he should be waiting for karma to bite his ass in ... maybe a few years time?

18) Who do you love the most?

I LOVE YOU MY DEAR READER! MUACKS! COME ON BABY, KISSES! oh my, look what hanging out with the same group of people day after day does to you.

19) Craziest thing (s) you ever did?

I did so many of them, you'll die hearing everything. So, I'm just gonna tell you one or two.

My patience stretched beyond me. That's one. One way in which this was displayed: to look for something in Chameleon, I poured out every box in the whole shelf into a basket to look for that something. Didn't find it, but found something close. Spent 2 hours and my neck and eyes hurt a lot. Bought it. Then, the person I gave that something to lost in a matter of minutes. Wait, there's more. I was okay with it and didn't freak out, though the person was super apologetic.

20) What's your greatest wish?

So many .. Personally to do well for O's single digit! Improve myself as a artist eg. by rocking the musical. Improve myself as a person and make everyone's lives better and to be able to reach out to people far less lucky than I.

21) Sweetest thing you ever did for someone?

By being me. Serious! It's the fact that i'm me that i could do it, and it came from the heart okay! I did lots of sweet stuff for people, so here's one: I cried along with a loved one who cried, because I couldn't stand the person so upset.

Instructions: Remove one qn, replace with another. Pick 8 lucky souls to get them to do this quiz and tag them in their chatbox to notify them.

Replaced question: Qn 3 is BAH! It's now:

How much would you do for a stranger that you've never met before?

And qn 16. New qn!:

What do you think is the most beautiful thing in the world/you have seen?

See so much more interesting! Oh well, it came from me. I don't always play within the rules. (:

My 8 victims (I trust that you will spread it around people that we know, so don't get upset if i didn't pick you, i wanted someone else to pick you)

1) Ng Hong Wei (senior-friend)
2) Zhang Huiyi (friend-batch/classmate)
3) Anjelica Goh (sec2junior-friend)
4) Shawn Lim (sec3junior-friend)
5) Hairil Iskandar (classmate/cca-friend)
6) Jasmin Lau (cousin)
7) Alvin Chew (primaryschoolclassmate-friend)
8) Current reader staring at the screen drooling at my blog. (randomperson)

It's pretty obvious that all 8 represent some kind of category in life, some sequence. So that's how to get it all spread out like butter. Watch for my tags!

You people have to be entertained again ... hai ... waste my time.

Don't worry, the history and the tagbox will be up soon, I'm pretty much a tech idiot with HTML and things like that. Seriously, putting up a stupid tagbox is near impossible without her, all i see is a bunch of codes that don't come out properly as a tagbox. Sheesh, and to think Stephanie does HTML like it's not brain surgery. I don't read web language I guess, I mean who can? !//@: > (can read arh! smart lor.)

Mid-years things will be coming up after tomorrow, nothing better than a round-up to make myself oh-so-proud and so guilty (more of guilty actually, I haven't been a good girl x)

So ... thanks to you people who have expressed your wonderful support for this bloggie, I've decided to compile whatever you guys said and make myself happy. So self-centred, I know (:

Reviews:

Sharon: Nice, readable, a bit of easy Literature style, not too cheem

Anjelica: it rocks. short and sweet.
I KNOW I ROCK. -hugs self- -continues to hug self- -screams girlishly- i know..i turn myself on

Hong Wei: Read ler can improve my england! XD Hopefully I can type better reviews.

Shawn: interactive GOOD! u talk to the reader directly. english must cut down.. cos nt all ppl gd in english. must make it simple so ppl will wanna read. wad is alacrity?

ya.. really v interactive, v gd.. like got alot of comments withing (BRACKETS) to add humor. basically tats it.. and ur blogskin's nice! although its simple i like the notebook style.

usually when ppl blog.. they say things like today i went to the market, then bought one fish. so big HAHE wad the fish. then mother say she go buy vegetable then i go home. ok very busy byes! like.. very boring.. all about the daily lfe.. must try to make it interesting like include events that u did with ur FRIENDS (whom are among ur readers) and must not say things like "i did this i did that " instead try saying " we went to sentosa and we had " .

COLLECTIVE NOUNS makes ur reader feel involved. cnt say things like"ok im very busy so this is gg be a super short post. kjhgfjasgbfdbsjbvczdshtghvz ok byes" cnt show that u find blogging a CHORE (although it really is) otherwise ppl will be bored too.

im so talkative - smiley face -

Mythili: You updated your blog? Good for you!

Hafizah: Better than mine, I haven't updated it since last year!

Yong Quan: Very wordy though ... no pics. Nice blog, I like the skin.

So ... I'll get more reviews and edit it as soon as I can, ya? (: When I'e gotten everything, I'll put in a reply. Sooo thanks again guys! I'm proud of myself too (wipes tear away). So do keep checking back to this post, I need to work on the accuracies of the comments .. heh heh, not that I'm making everything up, I can't talk as much as Shawn.

Yep, and I'll have to put a reminder here while Shawn's bugging me about some Maple crap. xP, sorry Shawn, I'll have to break it to you the hard way: It's crap. (I'm ignoring him now)

Anyway, will be doing a segment on reviews of my fav blogs and bloggers (the understated, unsung ones that no one knows about but your circle of friends).

C'mon, you guys deserve to be as famous as xiaxue, cuz you rock my world, and I know I rock yours. You don't need photoshopped pics to keep me interested in your blogs, so good for you! Not like I'm very -cough- interested in blogs that are made famous for unfathomable reasons, a bit like marketing consultants. All i see is a whole bunch of ads and nothing fun to read.

See ya, gotta go cram some Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime (that's a mouthful. Try saying it quickly 10 times so I can laugh at you) and ... Chemistry ... things.

So if you do need Literature help, this blog will feature some tips soon.

For Chemistry, you can always count on me to tell you that sodium chloride IS in fact EDIBLE. Remember this Huiyi, and you won't go wrong for Chem Paper 1.

Love ya. (:

For you people who can't understand what I'm talking about (References From Dictionary.com)

Unfathomable (adjective) => 1. Difficult or impossible to understand; incomprehensible:
unfathomable theories.

2. Difficult or impossible to measure: unfathomable depths

heh heh, i could finally get Maple to function! WOOHOOO haha i think my bro is jealous cuz he's got exams and he's not allowed to play. BLEAH then i was like " MUSHROOM MUSHROOM!! ahhhhhh!!!" in his face. lol, really cannot resist lah. i wonder where maple got their inspiration for mushroom-based monsters. hmm, ahem, a certain real-life mushroom cap call M squared. as delightful and as interesting, noisy, indestructible and bouncing. mushroom monster. hehe, should know what i m talking about.



haha, mythili, i can't believe u didn't come to school with a parents letter. bleh, slackerr. u abandoned us to rot in school. hmph.



now, i'm kinda scared of hello kitty. esp, after i saw a tortured man's popular blog documenting his daily hello kitty torture. HELLO KITTY HELL. reminiscent, familiar anybody? go see. now i seriously realise how hello kitty is increasingly dominating our unsuspecting minds!
