The wonderful world of Grace’s thoughts

wad i’ve discovered over the last few days :

- airasia can be on time!wow. my flight wasn’t delayed! for once.

- there is more to life than exams/exam results, altho is still want my 3as so i can get into uni. or i’ll end up as a rubbish collecter or smth lyk that.

- i’m going to be 19 in approximately a month and 5 days. don’t feel 19, and ppl arnd me are certainly nt helping.

- aimi has a ‘thinking’ pose. and is a bimbo. gt so excited over my pink fluffy star pen :/

- i’m still addicted to seaweed but instead of oranges, i am nw a grape fanatic. haha

- in 5 months time i’ll be in the uk. provided i gt the grades that is.

- peanut butter m&m’s is yummy.

- ppl staying in my place have become less trustworthy. i can’t ‘borrow’ free wireless anymore. bah. what happened to the phrase, sharing is caring??

- the web in taylor’s is freakkinnng cold. brrr..since i can’t get free wireless, haf to come to college to go online. sad

- hp’s are nt made to be dropped. mine died as a result. noo..

- i have an obsession with disneyland.

- my place apartments are lausy-ly built. inti college drop the huge blocks and the floor in our apartment starts vibrating. lyk earthquake liddat. freaky.

- sts band members are insane. the band dinner we oldies ‘crashed’ was really fun. sat on the vip table summore. haha. and the game we played? that was hilarious. all we did was laugh. and no one listened to me, we were all too busy laughin and shouting. lol. the fashion show was hilarious. these ppl nowadays so daring. hee.

- amanda is a paranoid freak. shud keep an eye on her. l8r she becomes psycho lyk a certain korean dude. choi.

results. bad. extremely bad. evn after i knew i didn’t do well in trials. bt nt this bad! i mean i tot i did ok for bio and econs. sigh. guess i jst haf to study harder. i wan to cry eileen made me so kan chiong lst nite, and then couldn’t check. so i woke up at 7am to beat the ‘traffic’ of kiasu a-lvl students, all logging on to check results. i guess waking up at this unearthly hour makes me kiasu too. and nw i can check and i’m depressed. nt suicidal. dun worry i’m nt goin to go into a rage fit and start shooting ppl or smth. i’ll jst mourn on my own

i am nw waiting to gt my exam results online. only thing is, the taylors website takes freakkiiinnnnng long to upload itself. so nw i’m jst staring into a blank page. hoping and praying that my agony is nt prolonged. gah. stupid taylors.

i noe there are bigger issues out there i shud be more concerned abt i.e the shootings in virginia tech and all. bt, i’m nt ashamed to admit it. i think too much abt myself. heh. i mean my exam results matter to me. a lot. very much so. evn tho i noe this time i really screwed up, but still!i want to noe hw i screwed up and where. bleh. load page load!

anyways, since i haf to wait here mite as well blog. went out with audrey today. went to winner’s court to play badminton. been really long since i last played. i tell u the court area was so hot, worst than any sauna i’ve been to. suppperrr uber hot. was sweating lyk crazy. and nw i haf a terrible terrible headache. after lyk an hr playing, couldn’t tahan the heat anymore. so tired so went back to audrey’s to shower and then to mr ho’s to eat lunch/dinner. (it was already 4 smth…) the food there was ok only la. nt tat great. then went ’shopping’ arnd crowne square. loads of ah lien clips and all. but nice ones. went to bing! after tat. over-zealous eating i noe. too full after i gt home. and the caffeine in the coffee is starting to make me soooo slleeeeppyyyy..*yawn*

ok. the pg still has nt loaded! wad!!! no! load, u idiot! load! if u haven’t realised, i haf rage issues.

LLOOOOOAAADDDDD!!!!

last nite was tv marathon nite. started at 9pm watching amazing race, then csi : NY and then csi : miami and then average joe and then pride and prejudice <yes, agn! i love that show:)>

amazing race was okei. loads of drama. they went to hk (i wanna go dissnnneyyyylannnndddd!) csi was as per usual. i think too much csi watching has made me very sadistic. everytime i read sum murder or crime story in the newspaper, i keep imagining how it happened. and i even managed to come up with a full-proof terrorist plan this morning while having brakfast with amanda and alison. haha. so mayb shud cut down on my csi doses.

average joe. ugh. its actually kinda interesting but i HATE the hot guys. hence my title. yeah, i know they are hot and all, but super annoying! esp chris carson. ohmy goodness. felt lyk killing him. so mean! and jerk-ish. doesn’t mean your so hot u can do anything u want rite? i noe its probly all an act for tv, but still! makes me want to slap the first hot guy i see. haha. go watch average joe and u’ll noe wad i mean. and the average joes are nt bad looking wad. some of them anyway. and really sweet.

i have been watching too much, wayyy to much tv as of late. making up for the last few months i guess. haha. have fun while i can

eva slept over on sunday. fuunnn. its been a long time since i’ve had a sleepover. losing ’stamina’ by 2am i was lyk yawning lyk wad. super sleepy by then. spent the nite talking (wad’s new?)  laughing and eating kompia (it made eva high)

miss those times when we (trix, jac & i) had our massive sleepovers where we binge, talk, laugh till wee hours of the morning. i vividly remember this one time the two genuises made me eat twisties crunch up in ice-cream with them :S and i gt sick after that. ahaks.

or the 03 youth camp in camp permai when we finally gt to be in the same cabin. cockroach chasing (thanks to jacinta who decided to ‘clean’ the room. and also andrew who came to our rescue.lol) and lizard killing. and waking up late cos slept so late until had to skip devotional :/ and nearly missing breakfast. and walkin arnd in the middle of the nite collecting presents for the speaker. singing ‘long time ago’ in hokkien *sigh* so nostalgic.

anyways,  today went out with amanda and alison to eat breakfast. drove arnd kch aimless-ly after that. discovered that at 10 am there is nth wadsoever to do in kch. went travillion and all the shops were close. wad on earth..so ended up going home.

amanda is a very ‘good’ driver. lol. dun even dare to potong jln  and change lanes. and also end up wrong place then we have to make one big round. i’m serious! so i thought her a trick bel thought me. jst wave and go. haha. cos once u thank them they have to let u cross rite?? hee:) but can’t say mean stuff abt her cos she was nice enough to be my driver for today(vested interest.lol) since i am license-less. hw stupid of me.

5 more days of holidays left. so saaddd:(

oh wells. better make the most of it.

eve tagged me. supposed to tell 6 weird things abt myself. aha. so here goes.

1. I look a lot dumber than i actually am.lol

2. I get weird cravings when i am stressed. ie : addicted to oranges during my trials

3. I am very very quiet when you first meet me. a complete opposite of the real me. get to know me and you’ll see.

4. I cannot study when i’m back home for holidays. and when i go back to kl, immediately my hardworkingness returns

5. I belong to the m.r.s (mental retardation society) . yes, i finally succumb to the pressure of being a member. see wat u’ve done aimi/ee fei!!

6. i have nvr read a harry potter/lotr book in my life

i’m really nt tat weird. and this was hard to do. its all eve’s fault.

i tag - audrey teo, beatrix hii, ee fei, zulaikha, jiy zhing, amanda tan, anyone who thinks they need to tell the world they are weird

went out with ah tan (ms new york :P) , phang, laura and edward last nite. my gosh. this ppl really noe their kch well. unlyk me. haha. din even noe there was a hokkien park. hee went st joe first. spied on their band. who were still practising even tho it was lyk 8 smth at nite. insane ppl, i tell you.

then, went tao. ah tan and i being the sakai kch-ers only knew coffee bean and bing unlyk the rest. very updated with kch culinary. (my last few sentences didn’t really make much sense did it? ah well) anyways, as usual when u put a bunch of girls (plus a guy) together.. become lyk aunty gossiping group. lol. dun actually remember wad we crapped abt. jst that amanda was being very suku and paranoid. can u imagine she gt into an ivy league??ahaha. (ps : its true. amanda, u are by far the most damn ass paranoid person i have every met. and u better start acting normal and taking less weird pics or you are nt going to gt ur us visa. terrorist alert. haha. choi. i want my nyc shirt:P)

after tao, went to become seh kia at hokkien park (the place near mbks building? hah!i bet u didn’t know such a place exisited, did you? :P) sat on swings and sum jumpy thing. amanda was so happy her butt could fit into the tyre.lol.

phang on the swing. me. the handbag holder behind.haha.

we went to eat agn after ‘exercising’ on the swings at sum lok lok place near amanda’s house. didn’t noe it existed either. i guess i don’t know kch as well as i tot i did. the shop was mega mega pink. more eating preceeded and more crapping. towards the end of the nite suddenly we became all intelligent and started talking business/politics/economics - as phang sed, ‘p.a stuff’. so beneficial.

the food

ppl eating the food. me counting money. heeh.

yeaps. that ended my night. gt back kinda late-ish but was super full so couldn’t sleep. missed my american idol thanks to those ppl, but hey, i guess they were more fun then watching idol but found out who was out before hand so no biggie. go chris! go blake! whoa. blake is supper hot. i re-watched the time he sang time of the season (due to the fact that the 1st time i watched it i was distracted by a certain housemate’s screaming :/ so excited to see blake.) supppper sexy. but i still lyk chris richardson better. love the voice.  imagine if sanjaya won. wad a farce american idol would be. oh well. i’m nt american so tecnically he wouldn’t be my idol

btw if u noticed the pics look familiar, thats cos i stole them from amanda’s blog. haha. piracy is the best policy ey? and my cam batt died. so there.

yes, you read right. golf. this is mainly because as i was sitting by the tv last night aimlessly channel-surfing while waiting for amazing race to start, my dad wanted to watch the augusta masters. i figured better golf, rather then him making me watch bloomberg. so yeah, i switched the channel.

well, it was worth while. sort of. i’ve learnt sum stuff abt this seemingly old man ‘boring’ game. u noe the term eagle? and birdie? and boogey? and all tat? i KNOW wad it means! more useless info i acquired to fill my already shrinking brain.

eagle - 2 strokes above par

(btw par  is when the player gets the ball in the hole on the number of strokes specified. lyk par 4 means u have to get the ball in in 4 strokes)

birdie - 1 stroke above par

boogey - 1 stroke below par

double boogey - 2 strokes below par

and tiger woods didn’t win. sum young guy. zach smth. he gt the cool green jacket! and a whole lot of cash. mayb i shud go start playing golf. michelle wie earns lyk tens of million a yr! a YEAR! hw unfair is tat?

golf is nt tat boring after all. all the greenery makes u happy and calm. which is good rite? no vigorous/violent action as u would gt in football too.

ok enough abt golf. i haf discovered that my piano skills are seriously deteriorating. i mean i can’t even play the easiest sonatina without stopping and stumbling over the notes. that is lyk grade 3 standard! aghh! i’m going to do smth abt this after a-lvls. cannot let my ‘hard work’ of slaving over the piano throughout these yrs go to waste. the way i’m playing no one would believe i finished grade 8 already. it is that bad. i can play chords and fun songs by improvising but when it comes to the classical stuff, my fingers jst won’t move. my grade 8 exam piece, i can only play up to the second line. sigh. so sad

that reminds me. where is my violin? i probly can’t play anymore. better go practice, agn after a-lvls. so much for learning a new instrument, huh?

yups. influenced by the whole aimi’s ‘i’m-pretending-to-study’ thing. ahaks.well, technically i did read one topic abt economic development. tats smth rite? heh. it’s nt my fault! i gt distracted my new mp3 player. weee. oh btw zu, its EXCATLY lyk urs. and no i didn’t copy you, the pink one was the only one left!:)

yeah, went to the pc fair yesterday with eva. i didn’t even mean to gt a mp3 player. wanted to go to gt a pendrive to replace my corrupted one (thanks to taylors and their stupid virus-filled computers :S) pendrives nw are crap cheap! 1gb for 39? plus a free bottle:P and i gt my 256 abt 2 yrs plus ago for 100++?? technology.gah.

anyways, my mp3 player is pink. the samsung one. nt tat many functions and all but i’m nt a techie so this to me is supppper worth it. very sleek. was so sakai at first and took me a good 10 minutes to figure out how to press enter. i noe, i noe. so mrs rite? (don’t even say it eefy) but i can so use it now! figured out the rest of the stuff in 10 minutes too. haha. i’ve been going arnd the whole day lyk sum sort of idiot, with the earphones permenantly attached to my ears. hee. my mum was lyk is it really neccesary to haf music in your ears where ever u go? yeah, i’m lyk tat. when i gt smth new i’ll keep on using it until i gt so sick and tired of it, then i’ll leave it be somewhere. hehe. super happy abt my latest toy! on the downside, my ears feel a bit deaf-ish nw. and this means less clothes buying when i gt back to kl

btw, the mp3 player? it was my self bday present. lol. bought with my ‘hard-earned’ ang pau money. wahaha.

so yeah. me procrastinating .but hey, i did start studying agn today!

ah well. will continue agn after i gt back from walking at reservoir park with leen and audrey. mst finish 4 topics of econs tonite and tmr on to maths. bleh.

and man U lost! twice!in a week! ahhh! *breathe breathe* it’s still 3 points rite. still ahead. and still a chance to gt into the champions league semis. which i’m nt going to stay up to watch as i think i’m a jinx. aha. and i don’t do well with staying up untill 5am. unless it involves talking/gossiping/laughing/doing nonsense with a bunch of my closest friends

exams over!well, the trials at least. which i think i screwed up most of my papers. bt it is the TRIALS rite? its for TRY-ing.haha. eileen taught me that. and the FINALS is for  reFINe-ing. ahha. lets evaluate hw i think i did :

chem - lol. crap. organic questions was freaking time consuming. practical was funny.

bio - nt as bad as i feared. bt honestly, i haf no idea hw badly/well i did. and no, its nt because i forgot my fullstops

maths - pure maths was awful. came out of the mph feeling lyk an idiot. mechanics  was err… hmm. i probly was too excited to go shopping and then home after the paper. so any feelings i had during the paper were sum wat numbed. except the fact i had a terrible stomach ache during the exam :s

econs - ok-ish. i think…i hope.

ah well.life goes on.

after the exams i went post exam shopping! my favourite..ABSOLUTE favourite part of exams. had to rush cos exmas finish arnd 10 and our flight back to kch was at 6.10. so off to midvalley we went! have been thinking abt shopping for a long time, but nvr get to go. cos i was being kuai and staying at home ’studying’.haha. riteee.

i gt presents for ppl, and presents for myself! took pics on my phone but i was stupid enough nt to remember to bring the cable home. :S oh and my driving license too. so nw i can’t drive. bleh.

oh yea, back to my shoppping story. i gt a shirt for eva (bday/goin-away present), shared with eileen, sea-monkeys for audrey, hairband for jacq. for myself i gt new pumps, (finally. hey, my old ones tore thanks to the mini flood in taylors that day) and a guess wallet which was 40 % off! (my roxy one was tearing apart :/ ) being the nice sister i am i walked alll the way to the other end of midvalley jst to gt sushi for my brother. 18 dollars jst on sushi! and nt even authentic sushi at tat. all he wanted was the orange egg thing and crab meat :s

after approx 4 hrs of shopping, we rushed back to our apartment to catch our taxi to the airport. (where the stupid flight was delayed for an hr plus plus. i haf really bad luck with flights. bt we amused/entertained ourselves, playing this silly game i invented, called a to z! we jst come up with a catergory and name smth starting with the letter a, then b, and so on. it was fun!)

and nw i’m home, sitting in front of the computer blogging. nt standing by the balcony with the sun shining in my eyes and sweat dripping down my back, blogging. i wan to cut my hair l8r. super messy. better nw cos if it sucks i haf 2 wks to hermit and let it grow out a bit.haha.

oh yeah. we haf dog nw! we as in my family. its a golden retriever which is only gold on the ears and tail. that would make it a golden ear/tail retriever. lol. mixed breed with sum other local dog or smth lyk tat. its 0ne yrs old and really funny. it lyks water. weird rite? u gif it water to drink it’ll stick its front paws in and stir it :/ it is currently nameless. its previous owner named it milky. eww. so my mum and brother re-named it mikey. only for jilian, my sister, to say it was a silly name. so yeah. and it doesn’t even noe its name is milky/mikey. so no harm done. haha. it is also a hyper dog. didnt sleep the whole nite. keep running arnd the house.

yeaps, two wks of hols ahead.yay! still gt to study tho. give myself till monday to relax. finals in 6 wks!ahhhhhhh…………..i haf to gt 3as.
