This is how to get suspected to be a terrorist at the MRT station (particularly those with the 'STOP- Security Check' thing where they check your bag)
1) Carry a medium-large -sized bag.
This is almost a must, otherwise it's hard to draw suspicion to yourself. Alternatively you could wear a big jacket, and pretend to have something hidden under it.
2) Wear a cap
Thanks to the overplayed MRT bomb advertisement, youths wearing a cap (and white shirt) are automatically classified under 'suspicious'
Ok step 3 you can do either a or b
3a) COMPLETELY avoid eye contact with the security guard standing at the bagcheck counter, looking everywhere else except for him. Make this as obvious as you can. Do something like go through the nearest fare gate to him then SWERVE to the other side to avoid walking in front of him.
3b) Stare at the guard cautiously as you are approaching the fare gate, then when you are about to pass him look away.
GG you confirm get caught.
(on a side note, there's a shop called GG Flower Services or SOMETHING like that. saw it when i took 80 from payalebar to kovan)
Today after playing mahjong at dan's house (DAMMIT I ALMOST SHI SHAN YAO AGAIN. ONE TILE AWAY AGAIN. Overall made $2+, only didn't win overall cos i threw cheryl's 4/5 dai winning tile twice so cheryl&dan both made $6. think cheryl won by 20cents. darryl lost ALOT. ha. )
i took kovan mrt home. Then .. i was wearing a cap (and a white shirt) and was carrying my blue converse bag which was relatively large cos i had a big towel stuffed inside. Then just for kicks i stared at the guard at the counter as i was walking there, and maintained eye contact for about 3 seconds (which is quite long) , then as i went through the faregate i looked away.
'dui bu qi, ke yi lai yi xia ma' he says. (sorry, could you come over?)
hahaha. kena checked.
He was this old man, probably in his 50s or 60s?
Then the stupid thing was.. he never even check properly! If you have seen my converse bag before you'll know it can open on both sides. (diff compartments for each side) it's a pretty weird design, unlike the normal one where it's just one zip and it opens the whole bag.
So what i did was place the bag on the counter, then open one side to show him my non-bomb stuff. Then he ASKED ME: 'you mei you se me dong xi' (is there anything (suspicious)? )
and i obviously said 'mei you', pulling that compartment open abit more to show him.
I'm telling you, he barely looked, and said:
'OK KE YI LE'
What the hell?! He was just asking me if i had a bomb? oh i SO would say 'yes i have a bomb' if i actually had one -_-
furthermore, he didn't even check the entire bag.
Anyway, i think this security check thing is super flawed and ineffective. Firstly because of lazy guards like that (hey sure you may say he's a pitiful old man blabla but HELLO! BOMB THREAT!? have young vigilant man to do the checks la!)
and next, i can easily think of how to beat it if i ever wanna bomb the train (which i never will. so dont arrest me please )
All i have to do is carry the smallest bag i can that contains the bomb (hello bombs are not all gigarnomous, i'm sure with latest technology they can be pretty small) , then wait till my train is almost arriving. Then just as it says 1 minute or reach already, i quick run towards the faregate and quickly tap through and run down the escalator pretending to be catching the train.
Guards confirm wont stop you la. like what can they say: 'OI STOP I THINK YOU GOT BOMB COME YOU HAVE TO MISS YOUR TRAIN SORRY.'
no right.
~~
That aside, i went swimming today!
Went to bestie's condo in payalebar. As my mom said, the security is quite lousy, both in that condo and basically in many condos in singapore. I think only those condos which need you to tap your card to open the gate have decent security (e.g. Chiltern park, cheryl/yvon's condo)
Otherwise, all you have to do is walk confidently through the main entrance, and if the guard stares at you just smile at him and maintain your stride!
Alternatively, you can act damn pissed off with the world and just walk straight through. (one of my tactics to play pool when i was underage)
Wa i almost drowned in the first 5 -10 minutes.
In case you don't know, i haven't swam in 12938612 years. i never completed any medal/cert when i learnt swimming last time (in early primary school), and when i stopped swimming then i probably swam less than 5 times in the following years (since i was primary 3/4)
So yea, i was pretty much newbie. At first i don't know technique and all, can't even do frog style (breaststroke) . So i was just like. kick legs swing arms, ah shit underwater , quickly grab the side. kick legs swing arms shit underwater already quickly grab the side. repeat.
Then i started to be more adventurous and try to do breaststroke. So i pushed myself off (diagonally, i dont dare to swim across, must stay near to the side) .. swing arms to bring myself above water, take a breath, go underwater.. kick.. GASP WATER ENTER NOSE SPUTTER CHOKE AH HELP DROWN.
-quickly grab the side-
After awhile of this i was quite tired from all the kicking so i just rested at the side for awhile. The guard appeared to be staring at me from his post a distance away, i couldn't tell (wasn't wearing specs), so i just pretended to be relaxing and tanning in case he came over and asked me if i knew how to swim.
So being the strategic planner person i am, i started to think about what i was doing wrong. I figured it was because i wasn't breathing out! i was just breathing in and holding my breath and only releasing my breath above the water, which allowed water to enter when i was underwater.
So this time, i took a breath above water, when i went under i breathed out, then when i came up i breathed in, went under breath out....
omg it worked!
So i happily began to swim longer distances (earlier i was covering about 2 metres and stop, 2 metres and stop), and i even tried to swim across the pool and succeeded =D well of course first i tested the depth, and found a spot where the entire breadth i could comfortable stand up and my head was well above the water. So i swam that breadth.
Then when i went to check my phone cheryl asked me about mj, so i went dan's house to mj lor.
gah gotta prac swimming more.

LOL!!! It's a possible answer!! haha (read the question)
Ok these last 2 are my favourites
HA this brings a new meaning to GG PWND. =D the drawing is really good! wahaha.
and this last one is my favourite
LOL HAHHAA ELEPHANT BLOCKING GG! IT'S A FREAKING CUTE ELEPHANT SOMEMORE! HAHA
=D
new bluetooth dongle!
rawr. went to simlim today to buy a new bluetooth dongle (the USB thing that you plug to your com so that your HP can send things to the computer and viceversa)
the old one snapped. Cos my CPU is at my feet, then the dongle sticks out, so sometimes my legs anyhow move then kick it, then at first never break, but after awhile it started to break. It was still working for awhile after it first broke abit, then i kicked it again then it completely snapped.
but i have a new one! so i'm gonna just post all the photos that i've taken . they're quite random, but.. oh well. just SPAM.
super blur pic of me john teehao. cant rem when this was taken, was around when john got his new purple phone. teehao was gonna snap a pic of me and him, then john was like 'eh why you all take pic without me' or something like that. ha.
A pretty unique skyline so i took it. The grey clouds made a very distinct line across the entire sky.
Yup, i get a good view of a soccer field from my house =) got free matches everyday. ha. sometimes they will fight one. when the referee starts blowing his whistle frantically i'll run to the window and see =)
my first ever alcoholic purchase. (and probably my only purchase)
whole face turned red after half a bottle, had a headache for the whole night after finishing it
i can't drink :(
stop laughing john.
bestie bought this for me ! when i had a cough. we met up some time during my exams to have lunch cos she wanted to pass her portable hard drive to me (ya rem that time she forgot. not tt time, after that day we did meet up eventually. ha)
and the next 2 before & after photos are before/after A levels =D
throw away all the notes!! wooo.
Woo clear all the notes.
Yes i know it is still messy, those white balls of paper are actually paper roses, you can't see them clearly.
tennis balls are for juggling when im bored :p
recognize this? it's my exam study timetable! heh followed it quite religiously for the first.. 2-3 weeks. and after tt it was thanks to my studypartner who kept me studying =)
TEAR UP RAWR.
ah yes, the colgate sweet.
DONT EVER BUY WINTERFROST FLAVOR OF ECLIPSE MINTS!
it tastes EXACTLY like colgate toothpaste. and it costs freaking $3.50 at 7-eleven. ex :(
joel said buy the PEPPERMINT flavour. green color box. ill try that next time.
ok that's it. off to play WC3TFT AT with boonlay again =) so qiao la, he's my secondary school friend and i randomly got paired with him in a 1v1 game. didnt even know it was him till he msged me after the game.

salt into wounds.
had an irritating ulcer on the right side of the tip of my tongue for 2-3 days now, really irritating cos i cant eat properly.
so a clever friend of mine suggested to put salt on it. supposedly heals faster but it stings la.
ok so i was bored and i tried it.
WOOHOO. FREAKING PAIN! hahaha. what a sensation, it stung like hell for several minutes. it takes like 5 seconds for it to kick in so it's quite cool. think ill do it tmr if i'm bored :p
anyway, rubbing salt into wounds is NOT advisable! managed to find this short writeup:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Provided by Walter Sipe, M.D., clinical fellow of pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition, University of California, San Francisco (former HHMI medical fellow)
Before we get to the science part of your question, let me start by saying:
Do not put salt on your cut. The single most important aspect of wound care in the backcountry is vigorous and copious irrigation with clean water (filtered or chemically treated so it is drinkable). You can generate a high-pressure stream by filling a zip-top plastic bag with water, poking a tiny hole in a bottom corner of it with a needle, and then squeezing the bag so water comes out through the hole. For dirty wounds, vigorous scrubbing to remove foreign bodies is also important. Exposing wounds to iodine, alcohol, peroxide, and pure salt is no more effective than water irrigation at preventing infection and can potentially damage tissues. The safest way to slow bleeding is to hold direct pressure on the wound until the bleeding stops.
The reason that salt stings a cut is that as the salt dissolves, it causes the fluid surrounding damaged tissues to become extremely hypertonic (which means that the concentration of salt and other electrolytes is higher than it is in normal body fluids).
Pain-sensing neurons have receptors on them that respond to a variety of stimuli. For example, there is a specific receptor that responds vigorously to capsaicin, which is the substance that gives jalapeño and habanero peppers their kick. So, quite literally, when you are adding hot pepper to food, you are (carefully, I hope!) inducing the sensation of pain to complement the other flavors of the meal.
More recently identified is a receptor that responds to changes in electrolyte concentration—such as the change that a large amount of salt induces. Thus, putting salt on a wound stimulates pain-sensing neurons in much the same way hot pepper does.
When tissue is damaged, many pain receptors become sensitized—that is, they need a much lower level of stimulation to respond than they normally would. (For example, after you have burned your mouth, try eating some spicy food that you could normally handle—ouch!) Salt may then compound the pain by further damaging injured tissues and making them more sensitive in general.

random rant
i dont quite know what i'm going to say but i'm just gonna randomly rant about stuff cos i wanna rant.
firstly, i dont get why on earth people can be 30-45 minutes late for an appointment. 5-15 minutes i GUESS it's excusable, for reasons such as the bus taking very long to come, missing the bus, etc. but 30 minutes?!?
Seriously, i don't think one's time approximation can be THAT bad, you should be able to roughly estimate how to get to a place unless you've never ever been there before (in that case you should try to go earlier since you may get lost)
If you have to go to, say, Town (dhobygaut/cityhall), from say.. serangoon, and you live 10 minutes away from the MRT, you should estimate about 20+ minutes to reach town?
Then why are some people still leaving house at 3.25PM when meeting time is 3.30PM!??!
seriously!! get prepared earlier or something. it's ridiculous to start getting ready at 3.15 when you should already leave house at 3.10 -_-
(the examples used are completely randomed, in case you were wondering)
Anyway this morning i was quite frustrated with DOMinic. He was the sound man for worship, and the prearranged time to meet was 7.45AM. and well, sound man is pretty impt cos he has to set up the mikes and everything and soundcheck adjust volume blabla. and the reason we were coming early in the first place was for him to get everything done.
Then the WHOLE worship team was there by 7.50. but DOM? no . not a sign till 8.15 -_- (worship starts at 8.25/30)
What was his excuse ? 'i had a breakfast appointment la!!' which was with 1 guy 2 girls but i'm pretty sure he was so late cos of the 2 girls but that's not the point.
Breakfast appointment so what!?? you had a duty to come at 7.45 so you should have left early or something to settle it. srsly. -_- and the way he said it (he repeated it like 2-3 times) was indicating that his 'breakfast appointment' had WAAAY precedence over coming to church on time to set up all the sound stuff blabla.
~~
ok i think i actually had more to say but i'm pretty tired now suddenly dunno why so lazy to type more. oh ya, if anyone is doing anything this week please ask me!! mahjong/go out / whatevernonsense. askask.
ktnxbai.

try this
sit down.
place your hands on your lap, fingers pointing out.
Both feet flat on the ground.
Tap your hand = use base of palm as pivot
tap your foot = use heel as pivot
Tap your right hand and left foot at the same time. When you do this, your left hand and right foot should be pointing up.
Then tap your left hand and right foot, when you do this, your right hand and left foot should be pointing up.
Repeat as many times as you can.
Note: the taps by hand and foot MUST be synchronized.
Once you can do it 10 times in a row, do it AS FAST AS YOU CAN 10 times in a row.
Pretty challenging >.<

a day with bestie
tralala.
went town to shop with bestie today! well actually it's just to buy things for myself, but .. we basically arranged to go out today then dunno what to do, so i suggested to shop loh. wow yes a guy suggesting to shop. me, nonetheless (i dont like shopping)
Wa i met like.. 4 ppl in total that i know? Before i met chris, saw joshsam. Then saw winsome with her boyfriends. (TSKTSK) Then met weiqin and her frens. Then at cine later on in the day i met some school people.
ok after some futile walking around in PS, we went to Far East Plaza cos chris said there the things cheaper. When we reached there.. it was like 95% girls shops?! But after walking around abit, found some guys shop at the 4th floor or somewhere there. But didn't see anything i wanted. Was looking for prom outfit.
Then we went into this shop which had jackets+shirt inside. I was idly fiddling with it then the salesgirl came over and asked 'are you shopping for prom?'
how intelligent!
so i murmured yea, and she told me of some special discount they were having for that day, jacket+shirt = $100. being the trained salesperson she was, she painted a pretty rosy picture of how much of a bargain it was. and well.. yea it did sound pretty good, since jacket = 80 and shirt = 50 so it's like $30 discount.
Ok the point of saying all this is not about the clothes, but to talk about the salesgirl! she was like.. maybe 20? around that age yea. she looks like the typical ahlian - brownish hair, ahlian face, ahlian clothes, complete with a tattoo on her shoulder! It said 'Hu' ('Tiger' in Chinese) fierce! She was rather pretty but her complexion was quite bad, but she masked it really really well with makeup. Like from far away definitely can't tell her complexion is bad.
but but but, she's REALLY nice can! She spoke in pretty good English insteAdx oF de tYpiCal aH LiAnZzs speAkxz w0Rzx, and she was really kind and demure-sounding. Then when i went to try on an outfit she came and give some fashion advice like the different ways i can wear it and stuff.
Then what won me over was when i was asking how to match a bottom to the top i was trying out ( a jacket + shirt), like issit wear jeans or what. Then she asked if i had black pants/jeans at home or something, and where i was going. i said yes i did, and im going maritus mandarin hotel (the one next to Cineleisure)
Then she was like.. 'oh! wa that hotel quite high class, i think you wear your that black pants better. dont need to buy jeans or anything la.' in a way dissuading me from buying the pile of jeans right in front of us.
Where got saleslady lidat one! persuade people not to buy from their shop. haha. I wanted to say something teasing her about that but it didn't come out right so we never really laughed. as in i wasnt very coherent when i said it i think.
Yup so i decided to buy from them since it was a bargain (which my mom insists is not when i told her about it) and the salesgirl was so kind and nice.
After thaaat.. we headed over to play pool at cine! wow i totallly rocked today. i made all the shots which i would usually miss, such as those long shots. i think i played better (than yesterday) cos i corrected a bridging error i was making. yea, totally thrashed chris :p
But she 'won' the last game cos on my last black ball, i accidentally jumped the white ball and after hitting the black in the white ball sailed off the table. so. counted as i lose =X
mm, ate at subway after that. had that for lunch too. im eating subway alot. cos im sick and cant hit fried stuff. DAMMIT I HATE THIS COUGH. it's highly irritating.
okk. so yea i settled my prom outfit in one day. haha. manda was saying that 2 weeks wasn't enough to shop for prom dress (prom is 2 weeks after exams ended). sad girls. :p
wow what a long journal-y blog. ok off to watch heroes =) really fast buffering suddenly! yay

mm, ate at subway after that. had that for lunch too. im eating subway alot. cos im sick and cant hit fried stuff. DAMMIT I HATE THIS COUGH. it's highly irritating.
okk. so yea i settled my prom outfit in one day. haha. manda was saying that 2 weeks wasn't enough to shop for prom dress (prom is 2 weeks after exams ended). sad girls. :p
wow what a long journal-y blog. ok off to watch heroes =) really fast buffering suddenly! yay

dontneedtostudyle
as the clock ticked to 9.15AM, and the 'handsome' chief examiner (john thinks he's handsome :S) said 'ok, times up' for the last time ever (for me) , i crushed up my entry proof just as teehao threw his behind at me. no more coming into the exam hall!!!
foOOOOoooOoO! what a feeling of liberation. it feels good thinking 'what fun thing am i gonna do next' instead of 'what am i gonna study next'.
yayee!
went to play LAN after the paper (i somehow dont feel the joy in doing this anymore. no idea why. ) then pooool with lijian joey and pewi. damn nub now, and as usual sucked in the first few games. but later on became on form and won won. then joey jio us to go watch Beowulf and .. since i was free (so free wooo) i agreed loh. 4 of us went.
was.. OK la. i wont say the plot is awesome, but it's the kinda show that you will be like ?? after the show and discuss the ending. the CGI was pretty awesome though, dont know how they managed to make everything look so damn real. (the whole show is animated, meaning the body and scenery and everythign was CGIed )(done with computer) it was like a scene from final fantasy. but real-er.
ok im so free now. please people, ask me out. supper, pool, dunno what.
OH OH. you know at funan there's a stall named after me!! it's like.. Alan's Music. or something like that! 'alan's something!' i was going down the escalator and wanted to take a pic of it but too late! ugh. i shall go back there next time.
ha ok. bye.

some little kid.
some little kid added me on MSN this morning. was mildly amusing so take a look:
ok at this point a tiny chill ran through me, cos if you watch Heroes, you'll know that Jessica is this evil alter-ego of Nicky, and the jessica is damn evil. Then here is this guy called 'Brandon' (well i assumed he is since that's his nick) saying he's jessica.
and he's like flirting with me or something :S freaky shit.
btw his email was something95@hotmail.com , so i figured he was 12 years old. and i didnt know any 12 year old brandons or jessicas. (his actual email is not 'something95', but i changed it so u cant go pester him)
when he said 'your school basketball player' i was starting to think of the possibilites and i msged pewi online too.. but when his next line came out 'that guy in 6 honesty' i knew he got the wrong person.
lol i was pretty cold cos i was a little pissed at Heroes ep18 for buffering so damn slowly. e.g. now i have it buffering for 1+hour already and it's only 75%!! zz.
ok man chowz. go watch heroes.. then perhaps another ep or sleep. bye.

before and after.
yvonne @ lunch : You know the looking-forward-to-post-exam-activities is always more fun than the post-exam-activities itself, cos you never get to do everything you planned to do.
rung pretty true when i heard it, so i must not let that happen!!
tmr is the last paper, an MCQ paper nonetheless. high temptation to slack and screw the paper, but if you think about it, one paper can change my grade drastically (if i like, fail this paper, i could drop from A to C. ) (not that i'm confident of A from paper2+3)
SO cannot!!! grr. asked my regular study partner to study with me today. and it struck me that today IS (i initially typed 'could be') the very last day that i'll be studying with that person, and the very last day ill be studying in 2 years!
gasp.
Anyway, i AM gonna carry out all the plans i've made for post-exam:
1) badminton with bestie.
supposed to play on wed, but given my cough, probably have to be postponed to next week or whenever i recover. definitely will do this. hope i dont get thrashed by a girl again =X
2) write a letter to her
ya ya, soon. dunno when.
3) PB marathon
at manda's house after prom
4) watch Heroes
well, started last thursday, finished s1ep17 already. will finish it =)
5) Eat @ botakjones or crazyangmoh
hell yea! any takers? bestie agreed to go with me already, the more we can get the merrier.
6) play and improve at standard game
well.. i'm already better than anybody i know personally. though that's no achievement since none of them actually play standard game (like, often). thrashed darryl yesterday haha. i gotta improve more! ugh.
though one plan i wont carry out is 'Perform Street magic' cos i seriously have no confidence. ha. perform for friends my hands already shaking. though i successfully pulled off an entire ACR for amanda and she was quite stunned. ^^
okkk.. this week is gonna be pretty fun. after exam tmr gonna play pool with pewi and hoe. wed gonna go out with bestie though not very sure what we're doing. thurs gonna have some class thing where there'll be mj set =) time to avenge my loss yesterday
(played at daniel's house with dan, dom, darryl. lost 1 dollar overall. sucks man my tiles were bad for first round (dong feng) , then only won twice i think, one zi muo ping hu and one ban se with dragon so 3 dai. yes, i always build big, at least 4 times i came close to a full colour(4dai) and somehow it's always with bamboo. but ppl like darryl keep getting alot of animal/flower then they win 3-4 dai cos of those. zz)
OKKK. bye. gotta go out soon. heroes ep18 is buffering so slowly.. ;(

hmm.
meh think i screwed up chem paper1 but dont really wanna think about it. now it's just physics paper 1 next tues and i'm a free bird ... for shortly under 2 months.
ok im using firefox and it's highlighting all my 'typos' it's really irritating. things like 'ok' and 'firefox' get highlighted. zzz. how to off this spell check thing.
anyway. feeling a little weird. like.. this feeling of incompleteness.
maybe i need her .
maybe i need some great event to look forward to.
went to play LAN today but wasnt exactly happy after it for some reason. no not cos i sucked or lost or anything. nothing like that. it just wasnt very.. satisfying. i think maybe cos i like standard game more than that and noone can play with me.
ah, next 'great event ' is prom. im sitting at s07 , another class's table, cos mine noone going. managed to squeeze in last minute, cos i got friends from their class ma.
but now i worry. their class is pretty tight, so .. how will those people who dont know that im there take it? like.. some people know that im at their table le, but how about the rest? later on that day 'zomg who is that guy at our table'.
or stuff like 'eh alan help us take classphoto' will be kinda awkward cos I WANNA TAKE PHOTOS (as in with myself inside) but at the same time it's a perfectly legitimate request. grrr.
how how how.
btw, i just started watching Heroes. pretty darn good show! first ep kinda boring, but as u watch more, u'll see how it becomes more mysterious and interweaves the various characters' lives together. pretty darn cool.
for sites to stream it, just google 'watch heroes online'.
=)
remember what i said before about emoticons ( like this =) ) being overused and not meant? i didn't mean that one.

OMG no!! Writers' Strike!
All Heroes/Lost/PrisonBreak/anydramaseries fans LISTEN UP! This is important:
Your shows may be put on hold for ... quite awhile.
Apparently the writers of American tv shows have gone on strike! The Writer's Guild of America (WGA) have banded together and all their members have gone on strike!
The main reason is the TV companies not paying the writers royalties from sales of DVDs of the shows i think. The full article is here, which explains why they're going on strike.
And there's another article here that is easier to read than the first one which is just really wordy and descriptive on the actual details. This one talks more about what can be expected, blabla.
Zzz this means that after next week's Prisonbreak, there would be a break all the way till Jan14th (im in army le :( ) and even then, the show may not be able to finish airing if the writers are still on strike and they'll have to go on another hiatus.
And this could also mean Lost may not return until 2009!!!! WTH!
GG. Please writers come back. Please stupid TV companies just PAY THEM dont be selfish!

Christabel blogging
Yo people. This is Christabel here, alan's best friend. Dunno who I am? i'm that pretty little girl in his blog banner loh, on top. The one that looks like a weird teddy bear in the bottom right picture, 2nd from the left. Can't see clearly? ok la i show you a picture from my recent photo shoot:
Yo yo all the sk8r b0is in the house yo.
I managed to hack into his account so that i can blog on his wonderful blog, since i don't have a blog of my own.
Huh? what? i do? No fools, i already made that blog private, so that i can blog about all my scandalous and juicy happenings without anyone seeing what's happening! Yes, my life is very interesting ok. Such as easily nabbing job interviews and rejecting them, skating circles around my friends at Jurong Ice Skating Rink and other interesting stuff.
huh? invite you to read my blog? nonono.. it's private. Hmm.. ok i'll do that if you pay me $4815162342. Yea that's a staggering amount, i know. Donald Trump already paid up to read my blog, yes, even he couldn't resist the juicy gossip in my blog. So start saving up kiddos.
Anyway i just wanted to blog about something loserish that happened to me today. I feel so dumb and dumberer.

Anyway i just wanted to blog about something loserish that happened to me today. I feel so dumb and dumberer.
I was supposed to meet alan at boonkeng mrt to pass him my portable hard drive so that he can upload all the Prison Break S3 episodes onto it for me.
Ya i know, he having exams, but he still said it was ok! So nice la he. Boonkeng mrt isn't exactly at his doorstep ok, it's like 10 minutes away. AND, he said he was feeling a little sick today, got flu or something. Sore throat and stuff. He is seriously my bestest friend. Hope he gets better.
Anyway, yea so being the lazy girl I am, i asked my mother if she could drive me to boonkeng mrt, even though i had a straight bus from practically just outside my house. Lazy to walk all the way to the bus stop la, later i sweat abit how!? Then the paparazzi will have an un-glam shot of me. =X
Omg did i just said i SWEAT? Pardon me, i meant PERSPIRE. Only men and horses sweat, beautiful creatures like me PERSPIRE. Yes i meant perspire, sorry for that mistake.
And well being the nice and caring mother she is, she told me to EXERCISE as i was getting fat. Fat?!? Hello do i look fat to you? -bares fists- Ok la maybe a little bit of tummy fat only but i'm not fat ok! And she was going to Heartland Mall so i could meet alan and then go heartland mall to meet her after that, and we can go home together.
So being the brilliant little girl I am, i decided NOT to bring my house keys! I mean, those heavy things, weigh like a few GRAMS and will pull me down and make me shorter than i already am. After all, I am meeting my mom later ain't I? so i dont need my house keys. Nah, i wouldn't have a need to go back earlier, my mom wont meet any friend to have coffee with, i wouldn't forget anything, sure no reason to go back! so dont need keys.
Thus i left the house and glamorously walked to the busstop to take the bus. My mom walked to her car, as i read an SMS from alan, saying something about one episode of PB being screwed up. Nvm, still can watch the rest! Just pass him the hard disk later and he'll pass back on sunday! yay!
So as i continued walking, my mom drove off in her car and laughed at me as she drove past. Grr.
Until i reached the busstop, as i fiddled for my wallet... did i realise something - I FORGOT TO BRING THE HARD DISK!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Ok calm down calm down i'll just go back to my house and take it... OH WAIT! I DIDN'T BRING MY KEYS!! Zzz shittyyyy.
Yes i don't know why i'm so loser to leave the house without the only reason why i'm even leaving the house in the first place (the hard disk) , and didn't realise it even though i'm msging Alan about it. argh.
So in the end i had to call him to cancel the lunch meeting. I feel so bad! make him plan his activities then i suddenly screw up his routine like that. And he's not feeling well somemore. :(
Why why why am i so loserr. I'm so sad can please comfort me. sobs sobs. Then i had to find something to do ma! My mother would take dunno how long so i had to entertain myself. So i called up my friend who lived around heartland mall and asked if my friend was free for me to go over. so i went.
Was it a guy or girl friend?
Don't tell you!
Peace out yo.

1+1 = 3
ok, no more math for the rest of my life. well.. at least for the next 2 years.
Just finished math paper2 today.. was SUPER easy ok. which is not a good thing. Because the bell curve will shift
(if alot of people score very high marks , let's say alot of 80+ when A is actually 70marks, then A may become 75, or even 80. that's what it means by shifting bell curve)
oh well. hope i score 97/100 for p2 =X (lost 3 marks already cos i dunno how to do 3 marks)
gah just watched finish Prison break s3 ep6 and7. They showed 2 this week cos they postponed last week's one cos of baseball and earlier on they also postponed once.
SERIOUSLY! i think the producers of PB brainstorm like this:
'Hey, how should we give the viewers a heart attack this week?'
"How about a car chase?"
'nah, that's too mild'
"How about.. someone jumping out of a building and running across a wide open field with guards holding sniper rifles guarding that area?"
'nah, that's too mild'
"how about we chop off someone's limbs?"
'nah we already did that'
"how about we chop off someone's head? and make it appear like we're not going to cut off, giving them chance, then cut it right off?"
'excellent!'
next week
'hey how should we give the viewers a heart attack this week?'
SERIOUSLY!! after the 2 eps i swear my heart rate went up by 25%. and then the ep ends with a huge twist.. gahh.
okok, a long break till my next paper (next monday).. gotta mug for econs starting tmr. econs is the only worry now. the rest all study before (chem/phys). chowz.

a yummy mint and a pickup line
remember this post on smells?
Well this is part 2. I found a breathmint!
Well i did like mentos in the past, but although it effectively gets rid of bad breath, it also leaves this tingy mentosy aftertaste in your mouth which gets irritating after awhile.
Then all those small small mints like Impact and stuff are good, but too small. So their effects aren't as powerful.
But today, i unintentionally found gosu(translation- PRO) one!
Was in service and JoelA took out a box of sweets, took one, handed to clara, then offered me ( i was 2 seats away). It looked like mint so i took it (i like mint), and.. YUM.
The solution to bad breath!
and another picture i found of it:
See what's written on the lid? 'POWERFUL FRESH BREATH'
it's true la! ok the thing about this mint is that it's pretty big. not as big as mentos, not chewy like mentos. It has the same texture as any other mint you'd find, like Smint and Impact, but it's about 3 times the volume of those! So it's about.. SLIGHTLY smaller than the Mentos box version.
And the mint taste is nice and fresh, not like the mentosyminty thing, and leaves a clean feeling after! AND, the annoying mint aftertaste is minimal!
I'm so gonna go find this and buy one :) or two :) or three :) or 12041729854 :)

No i wasn't endorsed by Eclipse to advertise their mint. My blog isn't even popular enough to endorse anything. :( but seriously, it's nice.
on a side note,
I thought of a good pickup line!
not those cheesy 'hey do you want a raisin?no? how about a date?' kind, this one more intellectual and effective (i think) (until the girl figures it out)
This targets a specific group of people -> those who wear name tags.
I thought of this when i was walking to the interchange at ToaPayoh after studying in the library, and i saw these Rep Poly girls going around doing surveys and wearing nametags. (so NO, i wasn't brainstorming for ways to pickup chicks. it's just an idea that hit me randomly)
So what you do is go up to someone wearing a name tag, and keeping your eyes fixated on their eyes, say something like:
"Hey! You are Cassendra right?" (you already glimpsed their nametag before approaching them, so you know their name + surname)
-girl turns and stares at you, confused- "Er.. yea.. you are?"
"I am -yourname- ! Remember? we were with this group of people the other time.. yknow.. at that place.. erm.. ya somewhere"
Girl: "er.. sorry i dont know you" (most likely response)
"No no! you are.. ermm.. -" (pretend to think hard) "Cassendra Ng right? " (you saw their nametag remember?)
-Girl is very confused now, and is trying to jog her memory to see if she knows you-
At this point, you quickly carry on the conversation about something else, like ask them why are they here, blabla, and work your charm to get her number or ask her out or something. I'm not a flirt so i don't know how to do that. :p

Brilliant right this pickup line? The girl will most likely figure out how you know her name after awhile, but she'll acknowledge how smart you are! so she'll go out with you!
wahahhaa. Ok if anyone actually tries this out do let me know the results :p
Well this is part 2. I found a breathmint!
Well i did like mentos in the past, but although it effectively gets rid of bad breath, it also leaves this tingy mentosy aftertaste in your mouth which gets irritating after awhile.
Then all those small small mints like Impact and stuff are good, but too small. So their effects aren't as powerful.
But today, i unintentionally found gosu(translation- PRO) one!
Was in service and JoelA took out a box of sweets, took one, handed to clara, then offered me ( i was 2 seats away). It looked like mint so i took it (i like mint), and.. YUM.
The solution to bad breath!
and another picture i found of it:
See what's written on the lid? 'POWERFUL FRESH BREATH'
it's true la! ok the thing about this mint is that it's pretty big. not as big as mentos, not chewy like mentos. It has the same texture as any other mint you'd find, like Smint and Impact, but it's about 3 times the volume of those! So it's about.. SLIGHTLY smaller than the Mentos box version.
And the mint taste is nice and fresh, not like the mentosyminty thing, and leaves a clean feeling after! AND, the annoying mint aftertaste is minimal!

go ponder
The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes, without speaking, confess the secrets of the heart.
