Shaun: hmm….ur quite right. miss u lots too…=’(

*sniffle*

Touched :D

放开你的手
不管等多久
失败是成功之母
我们不怕苦
找得到路

放开你的手
送你到最后
你的泪在我的胸口
不管等多久
无所求

Goosebumps.

This girl sounds JUST like Christina did at her age. Man, the vocal cords on this one.

Simply amazing. I can’t believe she got third place. You know who she lost to? This pretty-boy called Sam Concepcion whose main draw is his sweet face, because his singing reminds you of that frontman from 911. Bloody annoying.

P.S. I heart YouTube!

Because I love running into your room with something tasty for you to eat, and because you trust me enough to always willingly open your mouth for it without knowing what I’m about to feed you.

Because you taught me how to throw milk out the window.

Because you made me spit in your handkerchief so you could bring it to school and gross your friends out with ‘girl spit’.

Because we’d wake up at 3am in the morning to play Monopoly, Alley Cat, and Big Top on our VGA.

Because you spent an entire car ride into Malaysia wiggling your fingers at me while I shrieked, “NO DON’T TOUCH ME DON’T TOUCH ME IT TICKLES!”

Because you taught me how to bite into an orange slice and go around with an orange peel grin.

Because you cried at the ending of Little Mermaid.

Because I love it when people say we look alike.

Because we used to touch the tips of our tongues together and then run away screaming in delighted disgust.

Because you let me call you my darling Poophead.

Because you always fix up my computer for me (help, I need to backup and reformat :/).

Because you hold me whenever I need to cry, even though you’re lousy to hug because you’re just too darn skinny.

I love you so so much.

Happy 26th birthday Poopie :)

Took a couple of studio pics for convocation and here they are :)

The confident graduate pose :D

The she-paid-for-me-to-get-this-degree pose

The OMG-I-has-a-cert! pose

Liverpool absolutely kicks ass! Beat Toulouse 4-0 with our second sheet team :D Take that Man Utd!

Hairspray is awesome toooooo! Listening to the soundtrack now heh. Zac Efron! James Marsden! *drool* :D

Okay just wanted to say how much these two things rocked my world :) Pool and Hairspray!

About a month or so back, the men’s chorale in choir sang this song called ‘Shine On Us’ for Outreach Sunday. All my life I’ve been used to being in choirs where the women vastly outstrip the men in terms of numbers and talent; especially so in school choirs where somehow only the bravest and most secure of men join choir (said to be a soft option; teenaged boys generally would rather join a sporty CCA than choir). Not that the boys couldn’t sing, but that because the girls far outnumbered them, we just tended to sound better :D

But in ORPC choir, we’re so incredibly blessed with a huge lot of men who…dayum, they can SING. And they sound absolutely gorgeous. Clear, rich voices, like Nutella spread. Ah, hazelnut :P

I recorded that song they sang on my handphone – crap quality, but passable – and just listened to it again. Their voices can bring tears to my eyes. Their tone, their emotion, their fullness. ORPC choir men rawk. The women lose to them any day, hands down.

Now, if only anyone had the MP3…

Food.

I want crispy Curry-O curry puffs with whole chunks of egg inside, from Old Chang Kee. I want to tear off the crispy curly bits and ends and flaky pastry and let it crunch in my mouth.

I want pork chop cheese-baked spaghetti from Xin Wang Hongkong Café, cold yuen yang in a tin cup, French toast dripping with syrup and butter; eaten with none other than my favorite Xin Wang makan kaki :P

I want char kway teow from the East Coast hawker center, laden with blood cockles and lup cheong and crispy crackly lard, wet and so full of sweet gravy that you need a spoon to eat it properly.

I want chwee kueh from Tiong Bahru market. I want heaps and heaps of salty hot chai po topping the silky soft white rounds of whatever chwee kueh is made of. Carrot cake with more chai po.

I want I want deep-fried chicken from the ah lian economic beehoon stall at 179 kopitiam. In a pinch I’ll settle for KFC crispy chicken, only thigh or drumstick meat please (because who likes white/breast meat?) and hot whipped potato and cheese fries.

I want nasi lemak from Serangoon. Fluffy coconut rice, fried chicken, sunshine egg, ikan bilis and roasted peanuts and that crispy sweet belacan that melts in your mouth.

Oh and I want Ben and Jerry’s Oatmeal Cookie Crunch ice cream. I want a whole bucket of it. Sweet cinnamon ice cream with oatmeal cookie chunks in it. Drool.

I want crispy plaster prata from that crispy prata place in Sin Ming. Cold tehcinno from Fong Seng. Banana prata with lashings of honey and homemade ice lemon tea from Ah Fang.

I want my favorite, absolute favorite, Ruffles BBQ potato chips. Tao Kae Noi seaweed, any flavor, any flavor at all (well except original). I want salt and vinegar Marks and Spencers chips. White chocolate-covered raisins from M&S. Ritter Sport corn crisp chocolate.

And I want to eat all that stuff and not grow fat.

Edit 22:44h: So I went out to the ultra-mini-mart (the tiny one right behind Can 14) to indulge my chips cravings, at least; to my despair they don’t stock Ruffles BBQ chips :( not even cheddar cheese! Not any big bags of Ruffles chips in sight! And I hate eating original flavored chips. So I ended up buying BBQ flavored Mamee (*pokes Pea*) and Senbei Wanwan rice crackers, and cup-a-soup.

And then just to round off my day I bought myself dinner – French fries from Can 14’s Western stall, something which I’d been wanting to eat ever since someone put the idea in my head on Saturday evening. I absolutely love shoestring fries slathered in chilli and ketchup. Bliss.
