You’ve Got A Friend (:

My phone was giving me problems today! I was all whiny =x sorry Rachel for listening to me whine. I went to meet the guys before heading to tamp mall. Apparently I had to empty my inbox to solve the problem. And it worked! I was happy. I spent my extra time deleting texts. Not funny okay. It’s really taxing =\ After that I met Zam over at tampines mrt where we had lunch (or i had lunch) at long johns! After lunch I needed my dose of caffeine. Hee hee. Went online at starbucks for a while. Then I got Rachel’s caramel Frappe and the guy’s donuts (:

Zam was such a darling to have sent me back to school and help me carry my bag and my laptop. Hee. Thank you, zam! My wingman. Hehe. I know I can rely on him! Lalala~ he sent me all the way to IR where i met rachel and the rest of 1a02. Went for APEL with Mr Ang. Kinda fun. Then hung around over at IR while waiting for the guys to finish sschool. Went to pray and met the guys at ITAS. Gave them their donuts and slacked at ITAS till they went to play soccer. left for home after maghrib. And a song I’d like to share. I know some of my friends are having issues and problems and shit. and i hope this is enough (:

 

‘When you’re down and troubled and you need some love and care,
and nothing, nothing is going right,
close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
to brighten up even your darkest night.

chorus: You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am,
I’ll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call
and I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend.

If the sky above you grows dark and full of clouds,
And that old north wind begins to blow,
Keep your head together and call my name out loud.
Soon you’ll hear me knockin’ at your door.

You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am,
I’ll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call
and I’ll be there, yes, I will.
Now ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a
friend
when people can be so cold. They’ll hurt you, yes, and desert you.
And, take your soul if you let them.
Oh, but don’t you let them.

You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am,
I’ll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call
and I’ll be there, yes, I will.

You’ve got a friend.
You’ve got a friend.
Ain’t it good to know you’ve got a friend…’

You’ve got a friend; carol king

Love.

Gone Too Soon

I will not blog about Transformers 2 until I watch with my guy friends. Till then, I, together with the rest of the fans of Michael Jackson of the world, will mourn his death.

I have to agree that he has done some stupid things during his lifetime. Like not embracing his roots, getting his face and nose done. With all the molesting and raping rumours. And how weird he is. But if you were to think just in this context, it’s rather unfair. Cos he did have a bad childhood. He was abused by his dad. So I think that we shouldnt blame him for his weird-ness. In fact, I think that his weird-ness is the thing that makes him special.

Despite all the stupid things he did, he’s still a legend. He’s the King of Pop and will forever be the King of Pop. Somehow a part of me still wants to believe he’s alive. Think about him. Without Michael Jackson, there wouldnt be artistes like Usher and Chris Brown. Michael Jackson made me realise that beats can be seen and expressed. Dancing was part of his act. And he was good at doing it. One day i’ll learn the thriller routine. And perfect it. Although I know I cant be as awesome as him, but it’s the only way i feel that i can honour the magical things he has brought to the world. From Thriller to Billie Jean. The best songs ever created. Everyone is not made perfect. But sometimes, you have to remember the positive part of people who have screwed up rather than remember the negatives. Cos it’s their positives that somehow changed the world and made the world see what he sees in his perspective. Let’s remember Michael Jackson because of his genius in music and dance, not cos of his stupidity in his own personal life. Cos being an icon, your every move is being scrutinised. And I guess, all he wanted was to be normal like everyone else; not scrutinized for his bad decisions, and to be able to be perfect in everyone’s eyes. More so in his father’s eyes.

Rest In Peace, Michael Jackson. Thanks for enlightening us with the fact that music is something you can dance to and feel.

Goodbye King Of Pop.

RIP Michael Jackson. The King Of Pop. Although I dont really idolise him and all. I am a fan of his songs. He made the best songs ever. Thriller, billie Jean, Bad, Beat it.. All the dope songs. Despite how white you are I still love you Jacko.

I AM SAD.

Sigh. Sad for this morning’s news. but i slept with a smile yesterday night (:

Hands Down.

I tried so hard to get us tickets for transformers. The booking was successful, but we didnt reach in time so that we could collect our tickets =( rushed over to the cathay in hopes of getting tickets, but to no avail. I felt guilty. I felt so bad. I made them come all the way to dhoby ghaut for nothing =( I made Aziz sweat. And I know how much Aziz doesnt like to sweat. I felt really bad. Although they reassured me that it was okay, i still felt bad. Sigh. We ended up watching Pelham 123. And we paid only 6 bucks cos we were students! yay! the movie was really interesting. Of course, considering Denzel Washington and John Travolta was in it. So in my opinion, it wasnt a waste of my 6 bucks =) Went home after the movie. Lalala~

Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep.
This air is blessed, you share with me.
This night is wild, so calm and dull.
These hearts, they race from self-control.
Your legs are smooth as they graze mine.
We’re doing fine, we’re doing nothing at all.

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me,
So won’t you kill me, so I die happy?
My heart is yours, to fill or burst,
To break or bury, or wear as jewelry.
Whichever you prefer.

The words are hushed, let’s not get busted.
Just lay entwined here, undiscovered;
Safe in here from all the stupid questions.
“Hey, did you get some?”
Man, that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close,
They can’t hear, so we can get some.

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me,
So won’t you kill me, so I die happy?
My heart is yours, to fill or burst,
To break or bury, or wear as jewelry.
Whichever you prefer.

Hands down, this is the best day I can ever remember.
I’ll always remember the sound of the stereo,
The dim of the soft lights, the scent of your hair,
That you twirled in your fingers.
And the time on the clock when we realized it’s so late.
And this walk that we shared together.
The streets were wet and the gate was locked,
So I jumped it and I let you in,
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist,
And you kissed me like you meant it,
And I knew that you meant it.
That you meant it, that you meant it.
And I knew that you meant it, that you meant it.

Hands Down; Dashboard Confessionals

 

One word. Exactly.

Just keep swimming..Just keep swimming…

I went cycling with Dad today! the house to pasir ris park to changi point and back. Oh my toes. I reached home with jelly legs. I got down from Dexter (my bike) and my legs almost gave way. HAHA! And it was super tak glam la ok. I’m never going to cycle to changi point for nuts. why? cos there’re freakin hills and shit. and the hills are like gradual. so u have to pedal like crazy when yr gears are down low and you’re goin up. So i looked retarded and i could actually feel the burn on my thighs! It was madness. My legs are still kinda jelly-ish. But I had fun! Woo! What a way to spend Fathers Day! Lalala~ School tomorrow… My pivot table not done yet. I dont even know if i can come up with more crap to fill in the pivot table =x gahhhhh. My wardrobe settled for tomorrow. Technically I’m ready for school. But homework wise? Dont even let me start.

I saw sheldon the seahorse on tv today!

Just keep swimming… Just keep swimming…

So it seems.

My cough was really wet and disgusting today. My nose was filled with disgusting, thick mucus. ergh. Finally finished my essay! Found the book in the library but i was stupid enough not to take down the title of the book for referencing. (DAMMIT) argh.

Drag me to hell is like them crapped up horror stories. Like grudge. had fun freaking out. and it was disgusting too. After that i went to mee Fiqqy for a while to pass his cake and card. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FIQQY! Sat down and talked for awhile. Then before we went seperate ways i gave him a huggggeee big hugggggg. Heh. I love you kay. And just when i said i love you to him and he said i love you to me, my neighbour came out of the lift. HAHA! and this neighbour ever asked me if i have a boyfriend. LOL. They’re sure to ask me again if i meet them in the lift. Little do they know that Fiqqy is my best friend. NYAAHHA.

I’m hungry.

[/edit]

yes, i ate ^_^v i felt like writing more! Ok la. I want to post a song. Hee.

Ok. done (:

KILLING ME SOFTLY. LIKE, LITERALLY SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF ME

Agonising. My heart just melts lah. It’s annoying. But I went to sleep feeling happy yesterday when I thought I couldnt sleep at all. The best 3 hr 3o mins of sleep I’ve had before waking up and taking a LOOONG ride to harbour front. I swear i almost fell asleep standing in the bus on the way to the interchange. We were right on time. And yah, I didnt get my seat on the way to harbour front which means, NO SLEEP. I was pissed. Peak hour. I should bring a portable seat thing in my bag now.

Amazing race was fun! I loved my group. ONLY ONE. lol. cos we were group one. the name? Kudos to mandeep. LOLLOL. Mandeep was damn funny. I cannot take it. Haha. We got 2nd! Lalala~ and the tourism academy was damn cool. I wanted to read all the historical posters cos it seemed so interesting but there wasnt enough time. The weather was fine…. FOR A PLANNED DAY OUT AT THE BEACH, SUNTANNING, PLAYING VOLLEYBALL AND FRISBEE AND SLACKING. Not for an amazing race. It was so hot. Many of us felt super lethargic. I bet we wouldve been more enthu at the end of the event if it wasnt so hot =\ what was said supposed to end at 2:30 actually ended 1 and a half hours later -.- Marissa had to rush to meet her friend, I had to rush cos Mum was expecting me home earlier than five pm. and i didnt take my meds (ok now I sound like I’ve been to a psychiatrist.lol) But anyway. Yah. I reached home and I NEEDED SLEEP. so i dozed off on the couch. The evening went as per normal. My cough is still kinda bad. Like, I cant really do vigorous stuff. The amazing race just now was kinda slack. It’s like u can walk from one station to another station. So i was kinda fine, i guess? Just that towards the end i started coughing pretty badly that even Xy was kinda worried. =x and thats why i dont think I’m going for subcomm camp =( Cos I know how fun subcomm camp will be and I know there’ll be cheering and all. And I cant cheer cos I dont want to fall sick again. HAIYAH.

Funny how I’m updating about Amazing race and i didnt even update about my holiday. So I’ll update about my holiday!

I went back to my homeland over in Bukit Tinggi which is located over at West Sumatra. It’s a town within Padang, Indonesia.

THURSDAY

Mum woke me up to shower and i dragged myself out of bed. I got ready and packed the toiletries and shit. And off we went. Daddy only joined us on saturday. Cabbed to the budget terminal in changi airport and waited for the rest. Family members sent us off. and as always, there were many bags. like, alot. thankfully the lady who checked in our baggage for us allowed us to put all the bags in the cargo without having to pay the extra KG-s. went into the transit area and waited to board the plane. I was excited. I needed a break. I want to see pretty flowers, and I needed to get out of the hustle of city life. The flight took 55 mins. And the crew of tiger airways kinda cocked up. Cos they gave us wrong immigration forms. A lady like totally screwed over one of the flight attendants and all i could do was happily watch~ lalala~ Arrived at Minangkabau Airport 55 mins later and rushed to fill up the immigration cards and health cards and shit. grabbed the baggage and took the bus that would bring us to bukit tinggi. it was a 1 1/2 hr ride. I fell asleep. And Uncle fendy got a very tak glam photo of me sleeping -.- Ate at Air Badarun and snapped pictures with Uncle Fendy’s Canon DSLR! It was daaamn fun. Lalala~ continued our journey back to kampung and by then i could feel the coolness of the weather. Nothing like singapore. I am not exaggerating- It was like being in air con 24/7

FRIDAY

had a good nights sleep even with all the snoring by other people. I plugged lexon in. I COULDNT TAKE THE SNORING. I’M SORRY. Woke up and had lontong for breakfast. The lontong was dope man. And the weather was nothing but brilliant. Headed to pandai sikek where all the really nice songket is found and sold. An average songket takes like 3 mths to do. And everything is done by hand. Mum’s had a blast choosing table runners and really pretty songkets for their baju kurungs and all. I just followed along. Before that waited for uncle fendy and his 3 guy friends who came to bukit tinggi for the first time to finish friday prayers. so we waited outside the mosque. After prayers, we saw people carrying a casket out. Apparently someone passed away and they asked everyone to sembahyang jenazah for the the dead dude. And u know how in singapore the jenazah (the dead dude la) is driven to the final resting place? well in the kampong, the mosques and the cemetries are near. So people actually CARRY the caskets and WALK to the cemeteries. God bless these kind souls. More shopping for telekungs and sarongs. Again, I followed suit.. And i bought clothes for class ugama! I’m happy. Now I am driven to go for classes every sunday.

SATURDAY

another noisy night with all the snoring -.- more music for me~ Saturday we went to pasar bawah, which is basically the wet market. Fish, eels, chicken, ducks, vegetables, chilli, bananas…. You know how poultry in singapore is bought in packaging and shit. well, at bukit tinggi’s pasar bawah, everything is well, ALIVE. chickens and ducks in cages… Fish and eels in buckets… U just tell the dude what u want and he’ll do it for you. While waiting for nenek to buy chilli (which is hand grinded, not using a blender), i saw this lady who wanted to buy a fish from this guy. She chose the fish. And the dude took the fish out from the water and weighed it. by then it was flapping around probably gasping for air with its gills. It fell onto the floor, he picked it up and started de-scaling the fish while it was still alive! then after de-scaling it, he cut its head of. i was like O.O and he asked the lady how she wanted the fish to be cut. and he went cutting away…. That’s how fresh, FRESH is over in bukit tinggi. that was just fish. and then came chickens….

Went to the chicken side of the area. This lady chose a chicken. The vendor took the chicken out, tilted it’s head back, uttered prayers, and slit it’s throat and dumped it into another cage where the chicken had spasms until blood ran out. After that she chopped of its head and de-feathered it and cut it. it was a bloody scene. but the thing is, it’s interesting cos u dont see these kinda things in singapore. 

And i was happy on saturday! cos daddy finally arrived! I missed my Daddy. had barbeque that night. And apparently it was obvious that the neighbour’s son has been checkin me out. Well actually since a long time ago when we were like nine. The other cousins kept thinking we were flirting and shit (like what the hell do we know about flirting when we were obit, ugly and NINE? -.-) So yah. I got admirer in kampung. He’s one year my junior though (dammit) The neighbour’s son… Hahahha. Cracks me up. After dinner, i felt like i had a sore throat.

SUNDAY

TOUR DAY! i was excited. then suddenly, the sore throat got worse. and the tour was bulllshit. there wasnt a tourguide, i slept half the journey away thanks to panadol and the flue meds. So when the driver brought us to a place, we didnt know anything about it. NO STORIES, NO LEGENDS, NO NOTHING. i shouldve just stayed home and sleep my day away in the cool area of bukit tinggi and not padang -.- reached padang and went to the pasaraya which had nothing, really. when we went back to the bus, i saw 2 cats mating right smack at the entrance of the bus. They were freakin doing it in front of the door-  THE DOOR WHERE WE HAD TO ENTER BY! the cat at the bottom was like no expression, AT ALL. just. NO EXPRESSION. the cat up top doing all the trashwork was hitting it hard. I couldnt help it. I dont usually see these kinda things in singapore, i took a picture of it. Yes people, I watched cat porn for five minutes. All i know is, they’re gonna have an ugly litter of kittens. I’m sorry.

Had dinner at a seafood restaurant. nice view. nice food. But i was beginning to feel very very sick. reached home and headed to sleep with a fever. woke up with a temperature of 37.9

MONDAY

the rest wanted to go to the market again for more shopping. i decided to stay home and rest. I lied down at the couch in the living room for 5 hours, staring at the mountain. And i swear, i never got bored. time just flew. The mountain was speaking to me. HAHA. But it was really pretty. I felt really relaxed and calm and i guess that lowered my temperature. Alhamdulillah. they came back with food! LOTS AND LOTS OF FOOD. Nenek bought me bakso. Mum bought me satay padang and pisang kepit… I was literally having a food fest. Night fell and i slept really well the last night. The next morning, we already had to leave

oh my. super long post. LOL.. I’m sorry i feel chatty today. lalala~
Work needs to be done. I need my rest.

Toodles.

Rawr.

I need another break

I’m back. And I’m sick. I went to the doctor’s today. Went to school for project. I miss my class.

I was happy to be back. Then suddenly I feel like staying over at kampung and not come back. Let’s just say,

that right now,

I’d pay for a paper bag over my head.

Leaving on a jetplane (budget one ah)

It’s T live from changi airport’s budget terminal.

Time for T to get back to basics and shower with natural mountain water.

Jyeah, T is kickin it ol skool.

Love (:
