i won't be online next wk.

I won't be online next week. Because my modem's going over to my aunt's place. Yea, so no internet access for me. Boohoo. That means no updates on my blog for you to read as well.

The sky looks really dark and threatening. NOOOOOOOooooo! I don't want it to rain. I don't wanna dance in the rain during NDP preview later on. :(

Cleared up some misunderstandings yesterday. Glad that we met up for dinner. *winkz*

Played squash with jh yesterday for only, half an hr, i think. Had to stop playing cos the only squash ball that we had, burst! Haha. Violent tendencies, eh? Nevertheless, I woke up with an aching arm this morning. Why huh? I didn't even play much. *scratches head*

Had ban mian at bishan after that before heading home for a shower and a nap.

Mei rong said i look tanner. Hmm, I haven't been going out under the sun leh. Weird.

Oh, Irene's getting married! Hee. So happy for her. :) Darren just proposed to her yesterday. Soooo sweeeet.

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" will be out next week!!! I can't wait to catch the show! Wheeeee. Roald Dahl used to be one of my favourite writers, back then when i was a kid. Of course, Enid Blyton too. Haha. Used to own a whole collection of Enid Blyton's books. I like the "faraway tree" series, "famous five", and oh, everything la!

Reading through what i've typed above, i think i sound a little hyper today. Haha. Incoherent entry too. Oh well. I guess i'm just trying to cramp as much as i can into this entry to make up for next wk. Haha.

Doink.

1Corinthians 13

I feel like crying. Suddenly. As I was walking home, I was overwhelmed by a great surge of emotions. I should be feeling happy, really. Just got back home from an outing with the girls. Haven't had a gathering like that in a long time.

I want to do something mean.
I want to hang up on u the next time u call.
I want to do something to spite you.
I want to kick you over a cliff, off the edge of a waterfall and watch u plunge 1000m into the swirling waters below.
I want to feed u to the sharks.

But I know I wouldn't do any of the above.
Because I love u.


I really shouldn't be feeling this way.


------------------------
Here's one of my favourite chapters in the bible--- abt Love. I think I've put it on my blog before, but here it is again.

1Corinthians 13

1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have no love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountrains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12 Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

flu

KELVIN gave me an inspiration for the "F" story today during ndp. Here it is.

-------------

"AHHHH CHOOOOOO!"

I woke up this morning with a flu.

THE END.

--------------

Hahahha. That's it? Yea. That's the end of the story. Thanks, KELVIN, for the spark of inspiration. ;)

-

I'm taking a break from writing stories for now. I need some time to brew better ideas. :)

Going for ndp's final rehearsal later on. The sky looks like it's gonna rain. Praying that it won't. Mum, sis and shi kai will be going to watch me! *whee*

Must remember to bring scotch tape to tape my shoe, least it should come out again while i'm running up the stage/halfway through the dance.

Eggs

I'm feeling happy today.

Going to sch later on for a run with ai and to collect ndp preview tix.

Alrite. Ah, today's story is inspired by someone close to me. Can you guess who? Shouldn't be too hard to guess. Eggs. ;)

------------------------------
Once upon a time, there lived a girl who hated eggs. All kinds of eggs, regardless of how you cook them. Half boiled eggs, sunny side up, scrambled eggs, omelettes.

One fine day, a young man moved into their town. He's an egg farmer. He's tall, dark, muscular and incredibly good looking. He's the heartthrob of every single girl, a prince charming, a knight in shining armour. (of course not, he's just an egg farmer! duh.)

As all fairy tale goes, the girl who hated eggs fell in love with the charming egg farmer. The egg farmer wanted the girl to prove her love for him by eating a raw egg.

"If you really love me, will u eat this raw egg?"

Eeeks.

The girl loved him with all her heart, so she closed her eyes, held her breadth and drank the egg in one gulp.

Hey, it wasn't so bad after all. She realized that she actually quite liked the taste of it. The feel of the slimy egg passing down her throat.

The girl married the farmer 3 days later. She moved into the farmhouse where she could have all the eggs she wanted and there, they lived happily ever after. (Author's note: "happily ever after" only applies till the day she died of stroke and high cholesterol from all those eggs that she ate. Watch ur diet, everybody.)

Disappear

Yawnz. The weather's been so nice these few days. Watched "War of the worlds" yesterday. The ending was crap. Seriously. Aliens dying of bacterial infection?!?!?! Hmm.

----------------------

Danny disappeared.
Just like that. In the blink of an eye.

We were walking back home from school on wednesday.

"Hey, want to see me do a trick?" he asked.
"Alright. What are u going to do this time? Make urself disappear?" I said jokingly. Danny's always coming up with stupid magic tricks.
"Exactly," came his reply.

Poof.
And then, he was gone.
Left in his place were his clothes, shoes and bag. All lying in a heap on the pavement.

"Danny, stop playing." I begged.

No reply.

I picked up his stuff and ran as fast as i could to his place. I told his family what happened. They didn't believe me. They must have thought that i'm kidding them. Well, i wasn't.

I didn't see Danny in sch on Thursday or Friday.

It's Monday now. I'm on my way to school. Hopefully i'll see Danny in class, instead of staring into the empty space in front of me---- where Danny used to sit.

Coward

I woke up earlier than usual this morning. Wanted to go for a run in my neighbourhood but the weather too nice to laze in bed. Yea, so here i am sitting in front of my laptop writing the story of the day.

--------------------------------
It was way past 3am. All was silent and still except for the occasional snore coming from my sister. I was up at my table, drinking coffee to keep myself awake so i can squeeze more information into my pathetic brain cells. The exams were barely a week from now.

Suddenly, i was wide awake. Not due to the effects of caffeine. It was something that i've seen... Brown, disgusting and crawls on six legs. I don't have to say much for you to guess what it is that i've just seen.

"AHHHHHHH!!!!!! COCKROACH!!!!!!" I screamed, as i spotted the little fella running across my bedroom floor. I stood on my chair and prayed for lightning to strike the little fella to its death. What's the probability of that happening? *reaches for calculator* 0.00000000000000000000001. Right.

"SAMANTHA! WAKE UP AND HELP ME KILL THAT COCKROACH!" I shouted to my sis. She had always been the braver of the two of us, even though i'm the elder one. My heroine to save a damsel in distress.

"Kill it yourself," she muttered as she turned over in bed, "i want to sleep."

Oops. Helpline's not working this time.

She must be afraid of cockroaches, too. Coward.

Bastard

Here's today's short story. By the way, these stories are purely fictional. ;)

---------------------

Chris is such a bastard. We've been together for as long as i can remember and he has just dumped me. He said he just didn't love me anymore. Poof. The feeling just disappeared like that. Gone.

Didn't he just tell me last saturday that he loved me? He said he loved me, he loves me and he will love me forever and ever. Don't ever say forever, because forever is a very very long time and you never know what the future might bring. Don't say anything that you don't mean.

Rumours have been going around that he's been seeing another girl. Before we even broke up. I didn't believe them when i heard the rumours. I'm so naive, so trusting, taking in and believing all that he said. The others must be laughing at me now and I want to laugh at myself. Hahahaha. Tears are flowing down my face now. Are they tears of laughter or tears of a broken heart?

Bastard, bastard, bastard. "B" is for bastard. "C" is for Chris. Chris is a bastard. Perhaps somebody should change the word "bastard" to "castard". "Castard" sounds too much like "custard", though.

Custard--- a sweetened mixture of milk and eggs, which i absolutely adore.

Apples

I've decided on something. I shall try to write one short story a day, with the titles in alphabetical order. Inject some life into this otherwise boring blog. Here's the first.

------------------------------

"I've got a gift for you."

"What is it?"

You gave me a sneaky smile as you handed me an apple.

"You like apples, don't you?"

You got it all wrong. Again. I like apples as much as the mouse likes the cat. You are always getting the things that i like and those that i don't, mixed up. You never learn your mistakes, do you?

We walked hand in hand down the street and when you weren't looking, i threw the apple away. Into the dustbin just round the corner. It must be rotting away now.

love u to bits

Love you to bits.

Shy guys are soooooo cute.

i'm sick of this.

I'm sick of this. This, meaning, THEM trying to control every aspect of my life.

Where i'm going, who i'm hanging out with, etc etc. If i say i'm going out with a friend, they'll ask is ur friend a guy or a girl. So what if i'm going out with a guy? SO WHAT?! Are u going to tell me i'm going to get raped, just by going out with a guy friend? RIGHT. U're living in the 21st century, u know. Not in the 1800s. What's with the "nan nĂ¼ shou shou bu qing" kind of mentality?!

Damn it. Do u have to know every single one of my friends? I can just make them up, and you know what? YOU won't even know it. Ha.

Right. So what am i going to eat for my next meal? Do i have to submit a detailed report to u? Include bar graphs and figures? Throw in some analysis, as well?

I mean, like, hello?! I'm soon to be TWENTY. 20. Not some stupid brainless 8 yr old little girl. I'll take that back. Kids nowadays are not stupid, u know.

Just let me grow up, can u? Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

I know, some friends will probably say, it's their way of showing their care and concern. Let me tell u something. I don't appreciate it at all. Thank you very much.

Looking forward to being 21. When i'm OFFICALLY AN ADULT.

So, there.

s.c.h.o.o.l

Just checked my NUS email and the allocated modules for next sem are out. *eeks* Time for me to plan my timetable before the rounds of bidding start. I hate planning my own timetable. Last sem was a disaster. All the modules i wanna take will either 1) clash with some other lecture timeslots or 2) clash with some other lecture exam slot.

Looking forward to starting sch again... Making new friends, meeting up with pple... Dreading the workload, though. I've decided to mug really hard next sem. I wanna pull my CAP up! Hmpff. Anybody wanna join me to study in the library? Haha. Welcome to the MUGGERS' CLUB!

Been running these 2 days at botanic gardens with yiling. Running tmr morn as well. The world is so small. Yiling msged me last night telling me that her friend will be joining us for today's run... It turned out that she's jiahui's friend whom i've seen ard in sch. :)

Not sure if i'll be going for treetop trail on sat with the girls. Got to be at PA by 2.30 for make up and stuff... Sat's NDP rehearsal is the first NE show. Performing in front of a live audience at last! Haha. (Even though they're just a bunch of primary 5 kids. Heh.) I hope the costumes turn out fine after alteration.

It's been 4 yrs since i last took part in NDP. Miss those choir times.

Looking back in the past. It's funny how things can change over time, isn't it?
