walk a jog thingy today, it wasn't thaaat bad.. the prizegiving ceremony bit was worse.. they kept changing the people giving out the prizes coz they didnt want them to get heat stroke or something but conveniently forgot about the 1400 of us sitting and melting like mnms in the sun

spent a while getting home too but that was alright coz aircon anda cold shower awaited

just watched ethel's innocent voices it's sooo sad! i cried like more than twice methinks,

birthday season's just over, pity, was fun while it lasted.. guess now it's time for studying and all that.. humsszszs..

got this off keli's blog, this is probably one of the reasons we left nz haha

Only in N.Z. ... can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.

Only in N.Z. ... do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

Only in N.Z. ... do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke.

Only in N.Z. ... do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.

Only in N.Z. ... do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars on the drive and & lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.

Only in N.Z. ... do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.

Only in N.Z. ... are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink.

3 Kiwis die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.

58 Kiwis are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.

31 Kiwis have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.

8 Kiwis had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.
A massive 543 Kiwis were admitted to emergency in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.

In 2000 eight Kiwis cracked their skull whilst throwing up in the toilet.

bearing all this in mind, know that auckland is one place ahead of singapore in the most liveable places on earth ha! the irony is strangely bitter

yea anyway, my sister was supposed to come back last night this morning at 2 from china right, but then after she checked in they found her visa expired sooo yea she couldn't come back today so that kinda sucked so now she has to pay a fine and get a permit and she has a fever which is all nice and wonderful. hmpf

did absolutely nothing today, unless you count colouring in my timetable, but nothing includes finishing juggling with mandarins (kiwi book- feeling strangely nostalgic), watching hakuna matata and then over the hedge and playing sims haha.. so once again that was my day well spent. oh of course there were those frequent hesitant looks at the a and e maths books thinking that i really should do something and then doing something else instead. yep

school starts on monday and it's not a pretty day but luckily we can skip maths and pe and chem prac coz of the chemistry field trip which hopefully basically entails mucking around most of the time anyway so that should be tons of fun

spotlight is one of the funkiest places on earth i reckon, alongside disneyland and my bed

yay lost is back! but it's on like sunday 11pm aye so that totally sucks so i'll hve to tape it again, watch on monday, tape on monday, watch on tuesday

movie juice is low - creative juice is coming abackish

I MISS GREY'S ANATOMY

i think i haven't seen it for like 2 months?? maybe just less but that's a reeeeally longish time

ish ish kapish

i had the most wonderful dream last night*~
"there was this huge barrel of pipeweed, and we smoked all of it - then you were sick" (pippin to merry)

i've done my lit homework - well, 2/3 of it anyway. but yay!!

i miss thins, and squiggles,
shin guards and giggles

ack to eckels we have solved the computer problem of blank seedys! yea, i don't have a cd writer thingymabobbi so that's going to wait, either til jie comes back or i download it.. but neways it's all good.

my dastardly plans are coming along phantasmogrifically. i don't even think that's a word but whichever...

today is proper fathers' day, jo and i made macaroni which is ten times harder than it looks.. gave dad his blue boxer shorts for a present coz we gave his card a week early.

watched rear window the other day, grace kelly is soo pretty and alfred hitchcock is like the bestest bestest.. lapping up all the movies i can get while the holidays are around, there's not going to be any excuse for not revising when school starts which i'm half dreading half not. i haven't even done like a quarter of what i wanted to do these holidays which sucks really bad and what's worse is i don't even feel guilty - i'm sorta all meh about it, which is doubly worse coz no motivation is no good.. i'm beginning to really despise the o levels. i just can't wait for Christmas coz i'm going to be so free, expect the whole shebang from me, cards presents cookies.. it's going to be great. and the house is going to look wonderful too

11 days til jie comes back! counting down already, better get round to reading the notes. heh heh looking forward to getting my camera back, i don't really like the feeling of not even having the choice to take pictures or not - i mean it's not that i take photos all the time, but it's nice to be able to when you do want to.

1 day to ethel's birthday, and her card is sitting on my table. hm -haircut tomorrow! hooraaay i've been waiting all holiday. it doesn't really feel like a holiday anymore.. in any case this time next week i'll probably be getting ready for bed haha, need to ketchup on sleep - it's been terribly elusive the past few nights.

the ever present literature homework haunts me from my dusty desk~

ugh this week has past by sooo quickly as i knew it would..
one more week for smoothing out the brain before it gets completely assaulted.

well.. nasty surprise,

i think it's kinda stink how i don't get anymore emails from my kiwi friends. huh. well it was only for a year and it has been a year so can't ask much more than that aye. me figures kelly isn't coming back anymore coz she's going to go to some aic whatsits so i won't be seeing her around next year,

anyway, fathers' day tomorrow, the proper one this time.. last week i thought it as fathers' day and it wasn't so that was pretty embarrassing. well in any case i'm glad i got dad's card out of the way last week, coz creative juices are at a low and my fingers had a nasty little skirmish with the superglue today while doing ethel's card, but no skin lost so that's orright, coulda been worse

newaaaaays

rants and complains about o levels.

i love lord of the rings,

tis been a busy week, and it's only wednesday?

aly and ethel and jeli came over on monday, had pizza and chips and lotr extras and sky high, tons of laughs. viggo is wonderful no matter how weird his actions are! hahah,
oohh and i finally went over to alyssa's house which was supposed to be empty but in the end was full with everyone inclusive of cat and dog. and her playground is awesome :D

tuesday was supposed to be studying day but in the end only managed similar/congruent triangles. *ugh* so that kinda sucked. pizza AGAIN for dinner but it still tasted as good. mum was finding it hard to understand why i was hacking and gagging at the thought of having pizza 2 days in a row haha

went to town today for the gss, not that many people around .. maybe they're all weird and enjoy squishing up with the rest of singapore and more during the weekends. or maybe they just have to work. hm. anyway, saw this real nice beret from accessorize -english brand- which was like 30 bucks, so maybe there are cheaper ones around. hope so.. went to centrepoint, heeren (daniel yam's disappeared!), paragon and taka.. so that was kind of a lot of walking. hope my legs are ok for tomorrow, going to vivo with jeli to watch oceans 13 :)

hoping to watch rear window before the holiday ends.

N.B (whatever n.b means): if you want me for anything fun, try in about 30 weeks

hello,

busy day tday, but i shouldnt have been on the comp for so long before. cleared up most of the top level today, mum said i should have my friends over more often if it means i tidy up the place haha, father's day is tomorrow! i dont' think dad even knows. not much advertising for it, not like briscoes in auckland - sale for this sale for that, start of summer sale, midsummer sale, end of summer sale..

And i haven't been to the singapore sale yet! but i'm going this wednesday with me mum, jo and an aunt who isn't really but is..

i hate lizards by the way. absolutely detest. ugh, yea, so if you do happen to come across rubber lizards in gift-a-name, please dont buy them. instead, go to the popular in hougang mall behind the home and garden magazines and hopefully the johnny depp and pirates collectors magazine will still be there in all it's 17bux expensive glory. anyway, that's just a suggestion. ;D

i'm not going to put up the lyrics for sleep by get set go coz i think it's kinda self explanatory. mm.

i'm hungry.

Escape
Rupert Holmes

I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long.
Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song.
So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed.
And in the personals column, there was this letter I read:

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape."

I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean.
But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine.
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad.
And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad.

"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne.
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape.
At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape."

So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place.
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face.
It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you."
And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew"..

"That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

just back from a totally wonderful church service, about our purpose and calling.. God's special dream for us which he's planned before we were born, that's in us somewhere that we have to find..

i really want to find mine, like really really want to

In Christ Alone
Brian Littrell

In Christ alone will I glory
Though I could pride myself in battles won
For I’ve been blessed beyond measure
And by His strength alone I’ll overcome

Oh, I could stop and count successes
Like diamonds in my hands
But those trophies could not equal
To the grace by which I stand

In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory
Let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope
Is Christ alone

In Christ alone will I glory
For only by His grace I am redeemed
For only His tender mercy
Could reach beyond my weakness to my need
And now I seek no greater honor in just to know Him more
And to count my gains but losses to the glory of my Lord

In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory
Let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope
Is Christ alone

if it's not pirates, it's lord of the rings.. :D

i've been watching the extras in the lotr extended - all the docos of the cast, post production, and all that stuff and it never fails to make me smile, especially when viggo comes on haha

report book back today, why do malls wake up so late? ethel and i were wasting hours at heartland cold storage and round and round until popular was open.

been kinda boring since jo's gone off to mega torture camp and jie hasnt been around for a while.. only once in a dream, really glad i'm not an only child.. i dont think i could handle my parents stuffing me with food all the time.. these few days are enough thanks. maybe i should have dsaed into saint andrews? should have tried anyway i guess. well, too late now, shall just be normal and wait for o levels.
