Ten moody thoughts I had today

Saturday, August 12th, 2006
  1. Mein Gott, woman, wear a bra and rein in those nipples!
  2. I hope I die before I suffer the indignity of adult diapers.
  3. Where are all the tall, cute, decent Christian men in Singapore?
  4. If that man doesn’t stop banging his pram into the backs of my ankles, I am going to rip his head off.
  5. I once walked here with him. I wonder if he remembers.
  6. Small children should be left at home until they are above 1.3m tall and have learnt to keep their mouths shut.
  7. I bet Suri Cruise is really a plastic doll.
  8. Now I know how it feels not to have my SMSes replied.
  9. I actually miss singing with the Yunnan missions team.
  10. I wish I had someone special to watch fireworks with.

I am Singaporean meme - the National Day version

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

Yes, I am Singaporean.

I know because I am blogging this while watching the National Day Parade - the one show I never fail to watch every single year.

I have watched the NDP live at the stadium at least four times.  I may be a cynic 364 days a year, but every 9th of August I’m a crazy patriot who tears when she sees the dear Minister*Mentor singing the national anthem.

I am Singaporean, because when I am invited to a party where the dress code is all-white, my first reaction is, “What, PAP organize one ah?”

I know I’m Singaporean because I know almost all the words to almost all the national songs (except all the newfangled ones).  Including Munneru Valibaa.

And I have them in mp3 form on my computer, and I play through them every few weeks just to make myself feel happy.

I’m Singaporean because I may bitch from hell to high heaven about the Government, but I will never fail to admit that MM*Lee is a brilliant, brilliant man.

I am Singaporean, because the pledge and the national anthem were just played on NDP on TV, and I stood up to recite the pledge and sing the anthem - and I had goosebumps all throughout.

I’m Singaporean because I love Singapore - and not just on National Day.

But I still cringe when I hear the National Day DJs remix “Stand Up For Singapore” with Crazy Frog.

Ten simple pleasures

Thursday, June 22nd, 2006
  1. Receiving an unexpected compliment or declaration of affection
  2. Having a craving for something - jasmine milk tea, sashimi, fried chicken - and being able to satisfy it that same day
  3. Lying on the beach in a bikini soaking up the sun
  4. Lunch or dinner with good friends with good conversation
  5. When Sasha jumps onto my bed when I’m about to fall asleep, climbs over my body and plonks herself down right in the crook of my arm, resting her head on my shoulder and falling asleep. Fuzzy happy feeling
  6. New earrings/necklaces/clothes (Mango sale today!)
  7. A manicure :P
  8. Planning short trips around the region to Phuket, Bangkok, etc
  9. Plugging into my iPod when I’m outside and just soaking up my music
  10. A hug

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

Once you�ve been tagged, write a post with 24 interesting facts/things/habits about yourself then tag 6 other people. I stole this from popagandhi just because I love memes like this.

1. I’m addicted to manicures.

2. Once when I was in primary school, I was washing dishes at the sink when my mother reached up to the cupboard to take the chopper down. It slipped from her hand and thunked down on my head hard. I went, “Ow!” Then I looked down and realized that it was the chopper that hit my head, and my mother nearly cried from hysterical relief that it had hit me blunt side down.

3. I also have a piece of pencil lead in my head after my brother stabbed me with a pencil when I was a baby. The doctor said it was too risky to try and remove it so they left it to dissolve hopefully harmlessly.

4. Adding to my head trauma I have seven stitches in my forehead after the windshield shattered onto me during a car accident when I was six.

5. I’m a hypocrite, a liar and a cheat. But who isn’t?

6. I still think of you every single damn day, and the memories of us make me smile and want to cry in the same breath.

7. I hate cheating men, but it gives me a wicked sense of satisfaction if I catch a stranger’s boyfriend checking me out.

8. I’d gladly spend an evening at Pennyblack drinking cider and watching a massive Liverpool match, even if I go alone. Because when you’re a Liverpool fan…you’ll never walk alone. :D

9. I’m a ghost-writer for something you’ll never know is my work.

10. I tell everyone what a great person you are, but in all honesty, I frickin’ hate your guts.

11. I told you I was a hypocrite.

12. For the first time in my life, I’m considering being single all my life, because I can’t imagine a married future without you in it.

13. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a doctor, but decided it was too typical. Then I wanted to be a nurse, but my mother said nurses have to wash old men’s backsides. So I finally decided I wanted to be a veterinarian, but then I failed combined science in secondary school. I finally dropped combined science and my childhood dream.

14. I’m a jane of all trades and master of none, and I wish I were really good at one thing instead of being mediocre at everything.

15. I keep telling them I’m too busy to join them, but actually it’s because I feel so inadequate next to them that I don’t want to waste their time with my lack of talent.

16. I only consider three of my relationships as having been serious ones.

17. Just thinking about That Fag pisses me off.

18. When I was in kindergarten I thought nothing of repeatedly kissing the boy I liked on the cheek, and I didn’t realize it made him uncomfortable until my teacher told me off.

19. I still remember the boy’s name: Shaun Qiu. If anyone knows who he is let me know :P I thought he was really cute when he was five years old. I wonder if he’s still cute now.

20. My father recently revealed that my mother had actually kept my JC uniform for me until after I got my results, because she honestly thought I would fail my A levels and have to repeat JC.

21. I did very well for A levels in the end. My cousin now wears my old uniforms to SAJC (though I kept a set for nostalgia’s sake).

22. I keep my expectations of him way down low so that I won’t be so easily disappointed by him, but somehow he still manages to fall short - and yet I forgive him time and time again.

23. My first on-the-lips kiss was given away to a gay friend at a Truth or Dare game (kissing my parents don’t count).

24. I believe everyone is some degree of bisexual.

Tagtagtag to…entrancer, hucks, kx, dana_zincy and the first two people to reply to this post.

Ten things that are very unglam

Friday, May 26th, 2006

1. Visible panty line - especially granny undies! Excusable if it’s a thong/T-string.
2. Dressed to the nines - and carrying hawker centre type plastic bags.
3. Tying your hair up with rubber bands - the red and yellow type.
4. Garment loops hanging out of your top’s armpit holes.
5. Cheap Casio-type digital watches with black rubber straps.  Yucks.
6. Girls with unshaven pits in sleeveless tops.
7. Wearing running shoes with jeans - especially New Balance army-issue sneakers.
8. Dandruff on the shoulders of black tops.
9. Nipplegates.  For the love of God get a bra or nipple tape.
10. Severely chipped nail polish *guilty*

Musical Me

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

Put your music player on ’shuffle’ mode and take down the names of the first ten songs you hear as the answers to these ten questions:

How does the world see me?
So Nice - by Bebel Gilberto (that’s a good start!)

Will I have a happy life?
Another Day - by Rent (the good start didn’t last)

What do my friends think of me?
Destiny - by Jim Brickman and Jordan Hill (this one doesn’t make sense)

Do people secretly lust after me?
I Wish - by Skee Lo (damn.)

How can I make myself happy?
If I Kissed You - by Corrinne May (who’s going to kiss me?  evidently not the secret admirer that I don’t have)

What should I do with my life?
Could It Be Any Harder - by The Calling (even iTunes can’t answer this question, evidently)

Will I ever have children?
She Said Yes - by Clay Aiken (HAHA well that’s a pretty clearcut answer)

What is some good advice for me?
One Night in Bangkok - by Petshop Boys (Yes I think that’s fabulous advice.  Although one night is definitely not enough)

How will I be remembered?
Butterfly Kisses - by Bob Carlisle (really? :/)

What is my signature dancing song?
This Old Heart of Mine - by Rod Stewart (I don’t think an old heart would let me dance for long)

What do I think my current theme song is?
Female of the Species - by Space (ooh. I’m more dangerous than the male)

What does everybody think my current theme song is?
The Fox - by Nickel Creek (I prefer the term vixen :P)

What song will be played at my funeral?
Champagne Supernova - by Oasis (it appears that I’m going to go out in a blaze of alcohol)

What type of men/women do I like?
Angels - by Stroke 9 (uh. iTunes is freaking me out)

What is my day going to be like?
Red and Black - Les Miserables (red and black?! well maybe it’s going to be less miserable :))

I tag: samuraibunny and xing jian!

How weird am I?

Wednesday, May 17th, 2006

samuraibunny tagged me!

Here goes, six weird things about me:

1) If I step on a crack or a line in the pavement with my right foot, I have to step on one with my left foot. And I have to take the same number of steps within each section of pavement or I’ll feel unbalanced. Plus the crack must land right in the middle of my foot.

2) I talk to myself out loud when no one’s listening.

3) The minute I get home, I take off all my clothes and walk around in nothing but t-shirt and panties. This may be weird to other people but completely normal in my household - please call and give fair warning before you visit my house.

4) I do funny dances in my room to my music when I’m alone.

5) I give up entire weekends to play Scrabble with other people.

6) When I was young, because of a dream I had, I was convinced I had given up a prince from another world (Jimmy Ye, hahahaha) to return to this world because I missed my family.

And occasionally I still wonder if it mightn’t be true and Jimmy Ye is out there mourning the loss of his one true love. Hurhur.

Oh yah.  Forgot to tag.  I tag…redbeanjon and a_x. :P
