The wonderful world of Grace’s thoughts

yeps.

another post all abt yours truly

today i feel lyk being one of those ppl who love to blog abt EVERY single MINUTE detail of their lives. (hint, hint. eileen i’m sure you know who i’m refering to. lol)

so, yes. my week in review. in GREAT detail.

don’t say i didn’t warn you.

anyways, we shall go back to last sunday.

wow. that’s kinda far back. i don’t know if my failing memory can bring me there.

hmm. sunday. woke up at 9.30-ish (i’m assuming), rushed to get ready for church, was yelled at for being so slow to get ready for church, went outside, had the delima of what shoes to wear (my favourite pumps were missing!) so grabbed the first piar of shoes i saw, which were my hush puppies btw. ran into the car, and zoomed of to church. in church, i sat next to my sister and brother. paid attention. yes i did! cos i’m a good girl. haha. in church has singsparation, then all the little little stuff in between, and then sermon and song and amen-ing. after that, the ‘oldies’/'rejects’ hung out at a corner. we tried to fix trixie up with a certain foochow boy. but failed. miserably. after that i played ‘abc’ with abigail. bringing out my inner child. i was kinda fun! then i left church. went to tun jugah to meet up with eileen, jacq, amanda, elaine, jenny and li hwa. went to tun jugah food court because we are uncreative ppl. i can’t remember what i ate, but i can vividly remember jacq’s mushroom soup which looked lyk baby food. haha. so hung out at tun jugah, listening to amanda’s many stories, eileen telling ppl abt how i dispose of my rubbish in subang (shh!) , and only to have amanda admit that she does the same! saves time wad. haha. then we went of to riverside, wanted to catch disturbia, cos eileen and i think shia la beouf is hot. unfortunately, they weren’t showing anymore. and there was nth else to watch besides sum random msian movie. so we left. and headed of to hilton. for drinks. can’t remember the name of the place. it over-looks to water front so enjoyed the view. drank sum over-priced (isn’t it always) smoothie. and of course, did what we did best. take pictures!weee. our waitress was rather incompetant. when we asked her what drinks she recomended, all she did was read to us the menu. swt. mayb we looked so dumb she thought we couldn’t read! uhuh. anyways, jacq said you must get the lady with the very tight and short skirt with the vpl cos she knows her stuff. then after drinking and yakking summore, went home. then i went gym-ing.i emerged an hour later and went home. ate. then watched tv. then went online. then read harry potter (yes, i know i’m very left behind) then slept.

and that was day one! only 6 more to go! whoopie!

okayyy.

i give up.

over sharing is tough stuff man.

let’s summarize this shall we.

monday/tuesday went damai with family. spent a lot of time on the beach cos ji and i wanted to get a tan.

that plan completely, COMPLETELY back-fired.

i came home as red as a lobster.

and suffered the consequences for the nxt 3 or so days.

until today, my skin is still peeling lyk a snake.

ughs.

did i tell u thanks to my genius-ness, my visa pic is ruined! can see my face lyk all peeling and everything!

sigh.

brilliant, grace. just brilliant.

moving on..

wednesday/thursday/friday i did smth i’m very good at.

bumming.

how that is done, you say?

simple.

wake up late, stay in your pjs till its time for lunch (or later) laze arnd watching tv. only getting up to get a drink. occasionally.

sumtimes, move to my room to continue reading hp.

then saturday, went eileen’s house to ‘computerize’ her.

lol.

ended up jst yakking away.

her computer is the most STUBBORN one i have EVER met.

seriously, eileen.

=)

lyk master lyk computer?

wahaha.

oh wait!

i forgot.

went lilian’s house on monday for lunch. with amanda. was supposed to be for her going away.

traditional foochow stuff,ey?

mee sua and egg and ribena!

ok ribena is nt foochow-ey.

anyways, lilian’s mum cooked,not her.

explains why i’m still alive.

=P

played the ‘mature girls’ part the whole time were there. cos got a couple of aunties there too.

and we did quite well didn’t we?

haha.

now back to sunday.

its a whole week!

sunday agn, went church (see above for detailed explanation. samw routine, cos i’m always waking up late o_O)

after church went lunch-ing with trix, jacinta and trix’s friends, whom i have forgotten her name.

lol.

after lunch went touristy shopping.

and then ‘real shopping’.

ahh.

my week in review.

terribly interesting wasn’t it.

*clenches teeth*

WASN’T IT?

just writing this out of boredom.

and of course due to the sudden urge i have to emulate certain annoying ppl i know.

hmm.

weird.

anyways, tmr i’m off to kl to go shopping!

hah!

i wish.

gtg there to make my visa.

and buy my ticket to uk.

hope it doens’t take too long.

gt to get sum stuff.

or i’ll go uni looking lyk an old hag.

one day to shop?

i think i can do that.

ok, nows time to get back to the last few pages of my harry potter book.

its actually pretty interesting.

i’ve read book 4,5,6,7(almost finishing) & 1.

see? how’s that for a productive holiday?

haha.

now for book 2 and 3.

oh and MU finally won!

nani’s goal was awwessoommmeee (think surfer dude accent. see eva wong for demonstration)

was so kan chiong the whole match, before the goal.

lyk the near goal that ferdinand saved.

and the wes brown ‘hand ball’.

oh well.

alls well that ends well!

finally our season is on the way.

now,for ronaldo to come back from suspension.

and us open is starting today!

amanda tan!

go flushing meddows and take pics for me!

since you dissappointed me with gisele bundchen!

i can’t believe she was right in front of you!

ahh!

and it mite be HIGHLY probable that prince william will be in front of me in customs.

mayb he might want to try it out.

haha.

yes, i am happy. yet again.

ahah.

reasons?

do i really need reasons to be happy?

i mean, can’t i be the type of person who is just happy cos she is? just because the air is fresh and the grass is still green and butterflies fluttering by..

ok, who am i kidding.

anyways, i am happy today cause, firstly. i got my driving license!

no,no. not my ‘p’ license. which i obtained quite sum time ago unlyk a certain eileen lau *cough cough* =)

i got my REAL license.

ok, fine. its nt tat big a deal.

but i can drive agn! after one week nt being able to cos my license expired.

i bet you must be thinking, lyk tat also so happy wan?

hah! i’ve got BETTER news.

i FINALLY got my offer letter today!

yay!

which means i can start getting ready with all my uni prep, lyk making visa, SHOPPING etc etc.

SHOPPING.

then again, i do have kinda a lot of warm clothing.

nooo.

ah well. still. its good news!

kinda excited to be going to uni.

yt at the same time a little fearful. goodness knows what the future holds for me.

*says a quick prayer*

that reminds me.

the reading list.

ahhh!

*runs away*

i SERIOUSLY do not feel lyk studying!

sigh.

but i know i have to.

ok,ok. tmr.

promise!

for real this time.

=)

anyways, third good news!

i gt a tan!

really!

i did!

uhuh.

fine, i’m lying.

instead of a golden brown tan that my sister and i had envisioned when we spent the WHOLE afternoon on the beach under the blazing sun, i have a completely sunburnt face, and very nice tan lines all over my body.

gah.

my face hurts lyk crazy!

so do my shoulders.

and my back for that matter.

can’t lie down properly.

ish.

stupid skin.

can’t get tanned, or even remotely dark.

pfft.

i dun want to come back from uk with chicken feet!

or chicken skin.

and now i’m going to start sounding lyk a certain person i ‘know’.

who i just can’t stand.

and i have NO idea why.

face problem?

lol.

*whiney biatchy voice*

i dun know why everyone wants to be fair. being fair is over-rated. i want to be as dark as charcoal.

hah!

ok. exaggeration.

but seriously, that girl has issues.

the one i shall leave un-named.

and yes i know i’m supposed to be nice and nt mean, but i can’t help it.

i really just severely dislyk this girl!

remember once complaining abt smth good she had.

lyk being TALL for instance.

seriously.

you haven’t hear smart ppl going arnd saying, i hate being smart. i wanna be stupid so instead of going to uni, i can go be a toilet cleaner/rubbish collector, do ya?

gah.

dunno why i’m suddenly reminded of her also.

random,ey?

i was happy!

ans she ruined my happy thoughts.

grrr.

smth to hold over her.

pfft.

back to happy mode.

4thly!

my name appeared in the papers!

so jakun, i am.

*speaking lyk yoda i am*

a bit small, the words.

barely see my name, i can.

some taylor’s advertistment, it was.

now famous, i am.

insane, i am also.

=D

it was really tiny.

so i bet noone would have notice, except your own parents.

swimming arnd in a pool of 200 ++ names.

swimming!

i still feel lyk i’m floating on water.

or at least i feel the waves moving arnd me.

oh btw, just got back from damai.

has been super the long since i was last there.

and there is also where i gt my sun burn.

augh.

basically all we did was, beach, pool, beach, eat, tv, sleep, eat, beach, pool, tv.

pretty fun stuff.

except the getting burnt part.

serves me right for trying to get darker.

ouch.

ahh!

stupid mu! (ok can’t believe i just said that but,yeah.)

how can the DEFENDING champions draw their first two opening matches!

wad the heck,man!

DRAW! against reading and pompey?

ahhhh.

and a red card for ronaldo!!

i am absolutely livid.

and of course to top of my ’sporting frustrations’, as my sister so eloquently put it, nadal lost to jokovic in the rogers cup!

well federer lost too, so that jokovic.. not my family’s biggest idol.

beat roddick too, who apparently my brother supports.

so i don’t lyk him cos he beat nadal.

jil and my mum doesn’t lyk him cos he beat federer.

bryan doesn’t lyk him cos he beat roddick.

and my dad, as usual is always happy when the ‘underdog’ wins.

talk abt no allegiance.

gah.

i’m gonna take a break from sports for a bit.

so the stressful.

especially when watching mu play these days.

felt lyk tearing off my hair during the reading match.

66% possesion, a billion shots, and nth.

nada.

zilch.

zero goals.

gahh!!!

ok,ok. chill.

think happy thoughts =)

or as aimi puts it,

‘happy place happy place *chants repeatedly*‘

anyways, today i have been officially accepted into cambridge.

two things to check off my paranoia list.

so the lady did read my results right, and cambridge is nt kicking me out.

yups. jst checked on ucas and my status is now UNCONDITIONAL!

yay.

so one less worry.

you know what i just realised? all i blog abt is myself.

goodness, could i get any more self-assorbed?

so what SHOULD i blog abt.

politics?

nah, too risky. i don’t wanna spend my days being chased by the irs when i’m already in trouble for ‘escaping ns’.

got to lay low =)

what abt business-y stuff?

i’ll probly end up sounding lyk the biggest idiot ever.

so,no.

gossips? celeb stuff?

my mum says i gt to start sounding/being more intelligent and less bimbo-ish.

which means this is a BIG no no.

and gt to stop watching e! no!

what abt tv shows/music/movies, basically reviewing stuff?

well, i think i’m a kinda easy person to pls, so everything to me will be nice!

thus i’ll write all GOOD reviews.

and when has it been fun to read nice things?

so ,nopes. can’t do that.

that leaves nth much else for me to talk abt.

so i guess talking abt myself and being self-assorbed seems lyk the only way to go.

but, hey! i DO talk abt ppl i hang out with! all the time!

well,erm.. occasionally.

once in a while?

ok, fine. i am self-assorbed.

but i LYK it.

hah!

this is all gibberish.

strung together by my extremely tired brain (don’t ask from what)

anyways, went out with amanda,jacintha and phang for movie.

has been a super long time since i last watched a movie. the last one was harry potter i think.

lyk a month ago!

so sad rite.

boo hoo.

=(

so went to watch ratatouille. at star.

there were this two really weird signs at the popcorn counter place.

what if ur date is diabetic? o_O

dating tips. uhuh.

cam-whoring session in the cinema.haha.

this phang a bit wacko wan.

she laughs when no one is laughing.

and when everyone is, she doesn’t!

crazy chick.

the show was ok,la.

kinda funny.

cute too.

and the cartoon food actually looked good =)

still can’t say i care much for rats tho.

ewwww.

one of the few creatures worst than cockraches.

ugh.

speaking of rats.. had this funny, funny conversation with sean and his younger, uber cute sister grace.

*i actually video-ed all this so. yeah. i have proof!*

well it went smth lyk this.

sean : would you rather choose me or a fish?

grace : a fish! (grins)

sean : you rather a FISH over me?

grace : yes! (grins evenmore)

sean : fine (walks away and merajuks)

then later beatrix comes along.

btrix : grace, would u rather sean or the rats in the roof?

grace : (thinks for a minute or so) the rats.

haha. so the pecking order it lyk such. rats, sean, fish. always nice to know where you stand, ey? lol.

if you happen to be reading this sean, don’t kill me =) i’m sure there are many sean’s with sisters name grace who rather a fish over their brother.

and mind you, that grace is only 6 yrs old. haha. smart girl.

heh. good times.

i think i shall go and catch up on my sleep.

i have been needing at least 9 hrs a day lately.

and today i only had 8!

what a catastrophy!

so tonite i shall sleep 10 hrs. which means waking up at 11am.

ah no problem.

where art thou unconditional offer letter-eth?

thou art more beautiful than the sun.

and most-est important-eth to me-eth.

lol.

ppl who take lit seriously, please don’t kill me. i tried my best-eth!

but this still suck-eths.

=)

sigh.

proper english now.

my unconditional offer letter from cambridge is still NOT here!

ahh!

i’m starting to get amanda’s seriously paranoid disease.

firstly, i’m paranoid that the lady who told me my results, read the wrong script.

secondly, i’m paranoid that even if my results are correct, cambridge decides that they have too many msians and kick me out. (or smth as wacked as that)

thirdly, i’m worried that if everything runs smoothly, the bursary thingy that i was offered gets revoked. and that would suck. cos cambridge fees are lyk crap expensive. and i wanna help my parents out. being the GREAT daughter i am. and also this way i get more shopping money  i mean allowance. so i can buy more books. to study. aha.

fourthly, i’m paranoid that i can’t get my visa.

or if i do get my visa, i’m worried that there will be no more airline tickets.

gah. i’m going mad, aren’t i.

ok, grace. stop being so paranoid.

stop letting amanda rub off u.

(no offense though, ah tan)

ah well. all i can do is wait.

smth i’ve never been known to be good at.

this kind of ’stressful moments’ make me a tad insane. i’ve been having cravings for milk and cereal as of late. ate cereal for lunch, two days in a row! well,i only wake up that ‘early’. you know honey stars is probly the BEST cereal ever created. sweet and crunchy and star shaped!! then of course there’s the whole diabetes issue….ahem.

moving on.

i have been trying. i repeat TRYING to study. but my mind just won’t let me! haven’t we all heard of the saying the mind is stronger than the body?

i totally agree.

so far i have read two chapters of stats.

and i now know that there are four types of data, and not two lyk all our teachers have been lying to us all this years.

theres nominal, ordinal,interval and ratio level data.

boring stuff.

these few days have been going by very fast. lyk i wake up, eat, watch tv, go gym, eat, shower, watch tv summore. and the day is over!  just lyk that. my vow to become more productive.. erm.. not working.

ah well.

its ’summer’ hols!

blimey.

that’s my effort in attempting to sound more british.

i guess the queen is back.

got sum fancy dinner this firday. sum medical association thing? and i have got NOTHING to wear. ahh! noo..

oh and btw, happy birthday trixie and phangers! turning 19 and 18 respectively. see, you get ‘promoted’ on my blog! for free! hee. enjoy your year ahead. esp phangers, who has STPM coming right up! ahahah. aren’t i just so supportive?

ok,la. i shall go watch come dine with me.

pretty interesting show.

esp when all 5 are women.

bound to be cat-fights

and thats fun to watch.

=)

heh. ’social’ butterfly. me. hmm..

that’s considering my past month i haven’t really been doing anything social-ly. so this week was the week i went all out! ok,ok. exaggerating.

anyways, last friday went out with eileen to ‘catch up’ since i have only since that woman once since we both got back from kl. so weird, i know. so we went hp shopping since mine died, and she lost hers. (apparently her hp developed legs in damai and ran away from her. haha.) ok,ok sorry eileen! don’t hit me =) cos i know you are so going to. reflex? hah.

then sunday, me eileen (yes agn) audrey and li hwa decided to go out for dinner. since we hadn’t met up in ages! so went to the junk. the salad tasted lyk grass. eww. and don’t ask me how i know how grass taste lyk. i jst know. haha. other than that, spent much of the nite cam-whoring. and probly annoying the crap out of other patrons as we were talking/giggling/laughing rather loudly. hee. oopsie.

then…monday trixie came over to ‘plan’ singsparation for youth this saturday. ended up becoming a ‘girl-talk’ session (a nicer way to say gossiping) with my sister jilian. fun stuff that.

on wednesday, went out with jacintha and amanda. agn, haven’t seen jacintha, who btw is always m.ia.-ing, for ages! so we went to bella italia. nt bad,la. the food there. we were a little to early, the shop haven’t evn opened yt. so we sat amongst ppl sweeping and mopping the floors. haha. then we lepaked at jacintha’s house for a bit. and went home.

see! i have been socializing!

hence, social butterfly. by my standards that is.

hee.

yups. that is indeed the sunday school song we used to sing wayyy back then.

makes me feel really old. saying wayy back then. haha

i’m a little delirious right now, so forgive me.

anyways. yes. i am really happy!

=)

firstly, i got my new handphone!

its white and it slides!

goodness, i sound lyk a bimbo.

nvm as jacintha said, we can be the harvard/cambridge bimbos.

pink fluffy pens and all pink attire!

lol.

its a nice phone! and its a nokia. which was my dad’s requirement if i wanted a new phone.

so everyone’s happy =)

and then today i gt my alevel results.

God is good!

thank YOU!

so, now i am officially going to uni.

can’t be a bum anymore cos there’s loads of things to do.

first on my list.. read the books required by cambridge on their ’summer’ reading list.

goodness.

then its visa making/health check/clothes buying/things buying and packing! ahh! nightmare!

but at least now i know where i am going and what i can do.

before this everthing was lyk in the dark.

no idea what uni i was going, when and all that.

so, yeah. i am happy.

even tho it means i’ll be leaving home yt agn.

to a much, MUCH further away place.

uk here i come.

epl matches!

i shall, i MUST go watch one while i’m there.

hopefully at old trafford.

anyone going to manchester and willing to put up with me for a bit?

lol.

i shall start reading up all the stuff tmr.

no more procrastinating, grace!

yups.

happy!

wee!

airports! ahhhhh!! *runs away*

i dislyk airports.

it only means two things. well, to me at least.

someone you care abt is leaving.

or you are leaving. leaving home to go STUDY!

wahhhh.

so yeah.

anyways, over the last 5 days or so, i have been to the airport 3 times! wah!

first was when i came back to kch on saturday.

then i went to the airport to pick up my sister who got back from london.

waited so super long cos my mum ‘tricked’ me into being on time. she told me ji’s flight arrived at 10 am when it was only reaching at 10.20. 

so i waiited.

super long.

but her presence and presents make up for the waiting. haha.

brought home loaddsss of food (i think i’ll be seeing trixie at my place a lot more often these days =P)

gt me a gap scarf, wimbledon keychain, REAL nadal pictures/videos, some perfume and arsenal socks! haha. randomness.

actually i think the socks are lyk ‘collection’ for my dad. cos he has chelsea’s already. so now arsenal. and i shall go and gt him MU’s when i go over.

hmm. what else did she get us.

ah.. wimbledon balls for  my brother. which he has nt open and constantly STARES at the container. crazy fellow.

aiyh. i  can’t remember,la.

jst stuff. for everyone!

so everyone at home is happy. weeee =)

oh yes, back to my airport-ing story.

then the nxt day, went to the airport to see eva off.

us at the airport.

she FINALLY left.

yes,she did.

no more false alarms and such. lol

she’s probly on her way to london now.

sad =(

i mean, it’s eva!

eva with the cake we bought her. and also helped her to eat. lol.

without her, who is going to create entertainment for us in church? and when we lepak arnd!

eva is honestly, the strangest, yet most interesting person i’ve met.

really!

very random,la that girl.

and majorly blur.

who else would have taught me to say "i’m a swedish boyyyy" with an accent. and of course the arnold "move you arse little man!"

and my british accented "absolutely ridiculous!"

sigh. good times.

hey eva if u are reading this, remember our signal ok. blink three times, swing your arms counter clockwise. and wear the t-shirt! lol. with the arrow. and then follow him arnd.

and we better meet up in uk! provided i gt there. i better.

london shopping/begging here we come!

and of course our ’spain-egypt’ tour to look for hot, buff and tanned spanish guys and pharoah’s descendants.

hey, this i quote from a certain miss hii. i think you know which one i’m talking abt.

us during eva’s farewell. eva screams " tek kanggg!!!" lol.

trixie is going to kill me for this. more weird-ism. dunnoe what btrix was doing. uhumph.

the mess.

the culprits =)

and this girl leaving made me realise how soon i will be too. ahh.

i’m not ready to go uni!

i wanna stay at home and not have to do anything everyday!

and i am definately not ready to grow up.

sigh.

august 9!

ppl keep reminding me.

and also stress me out more by telling me i’ll do fine.

and this is what my sister said.

"why worry abt getting 3a’s when you should be getting 5? you better. cos bel and i did."

talk abt adding on more STRESS!

the chance of not getting good grades when everyone thinks that i will definately do well is getting to me.

i think that’s the worst part.

expectations.

gah.

and as the days go by, my confidence seems to be wavering.

lyk i wonder, seriously do i deserve the spot in cambridge?

and i hear abt super geniuses all arnd.

ppl who can do math in their sleep and such.

how to compete?!

sigh. no even in uni, or remotely close, and i’m already stressing over such things.

ok, ok. enough with the depressing stuff.

on a lighter note…

i wanna get a new phone!

and i have a GGOD reason to get one.

my old one died!

yay!

i mean..

boo!

anyways, new phone.

contemplating getting either the nokia 6300 or 6288.

or mayb the sony erricson s500i or z610i

so much choice.

susah-ness.

okies, i shall go watch oc season2 that eileen agreed to lend me.

and this is only cos she wants my season1.

talk abt vested interest.

hah.
