im convinced that i have fat fingers and now, to add on to the list, i have butter fingers as well. for one, while waiting for my hair to dry, i decided to paint my nails. at the computer table. so right hand done at the computer table and as you might have figured, the com table is not the ideal place for nail painting so to the hall it was. but me being lazy didnt close the bottle properly. and with my fat, butter fingers, i dropped the bottle of bright pink paint and shit. the cap comes off and streakes my hand, the bottle bounces off the floor leaving pink blobs and streaks not only on the white tiled floor but also on my leg. I JUST BATHED!!! thank god no one was awake. so i used up more than half of my nail polish remover removing paint off the floor and myself and destroyed my left nails in the process and was cursing myself.

nevermind. moved to the hall, my nail polish weighing lighter and just as i was about to start all over again, i dropped the bottle. again. for the second time in less than an hour. more paint on the floor, more paint on me. and by that time, i was starting to smell like nail polish remover. fuck. so yesterday was a damn long night, cleaning and cleaning, bathing for the second time, hair cannot dry, and i ended up sleeping at 3.30 in the morning, not doing assignments but removing nail polish off the floor. sheesh. butter fingers.

but at least i got my nails done. finally and im proud to say that after all that dropping, there's still some polish left in the bottle. talk about self comforting.. hah that is by far the most tedious, tiring and longest time i ever took to paint ten fingers. happy new year!

oh and marshie: dun have to tell me i very careless... i know.. haha

alright.. had tonnes of assignments to do and now, still do.

stuff to do:
- 3d graded tutorial thing and logo shit
- motion graphics poem thing
- pitch stuff; namely design of the frames and storyboard
- jap role play
- id: dunne and raby

what have i done:
- dunne and raby

i am so dead. and thank god authoring is finally over. oh and guess what?? we have a competition coming up and its COMPULSORY! for pitch. we're supposed to pitch our idea to a panel of judges and the best part about this is.. it's for fun!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!!?!?! we have to take part in this insanely useless competition for the fun of the teachers. now whose the smarty pants who suggested this.. i am NOT looking forward to this and it means that our idea and storyboard and interactive site and other shit has to be more or less completed. our group on the other hand is still designing the frames... are we dead or are we dead?

and just as im ranting about the mountain of work that im buried under, i somehow found the time to do this:

















yup i did this. a gundam head. and just as u're wondering what the hell am i doing with a plastic toy, it's my brother's so yeah. im good right? judging by the size of this thing, its damn small lah. and im proud of it even though its a insignificant bit of the whole thing. still, it took me quite some time to read the instructons in japanese and try to figure out which part goes where. =]

alright. finally done with dunne and raby; the boring duo, i hitting the sack. GONNA WATCH MEMOIRS TOMORROW AND IM DAMN EXCITED!!

im bored... and im still in sch.. doing id with...

flash..

karen here!!..for a sec!!!\
ain here!!..for a sec!!!\
CHAR-hida here!!..for a sec!!!\ (as you can probably tell, we're all bored. tt was karen btw)
again.

and i thought i was done with flash once authoring was done. im finally done with authoring btw.. and i think it sucks but i can't really be bothered cause i've lost tonnes of hours of sleep doing that damn thing and i just finished yesterday morning. at 3 in the morning.. so cheers!! back to sleeping.

open house started yesterday and from what i see, it's not that bad this year. at least way better than last year where it was like.. kinda dull and stuff. my bro's fren came and he said that our open house was good.. whao.. so unexpected wor. but other than feeling like an animal, being viewed by the thousands who came and stared, its not that bad. ill probably pop down to tp and sp tmr if im not too lazy to go see see also.. so yeah

im dead tired. still left with the preloader for my photo album and the report. i hate authoring man.. i've probably said it tonnes of times but i dun care. I HATE IT!!! take that! haha and because of that, i've offically been awake for more than 30 hours so even though i was physically present for jap, my brain was dead. struggling to keep awake, taking a nap during id when the presentations were going on... sorry lah i know it's rude but can't help it. so i've probably been catching bits and pieces of sleep every now and then even if it was a few minutes.

just came back cause today's my mum's birthday so yeah. went to this resturant which served fantastic sichun food at cityhall and went around shopping for shoes for chinese new year but found none. shoot me but i got another pair of slippers instead... =] and now, im stuck in front of the com once again. and it's just conicidental that as danni was talking about the way pple eat, i so happened to go peopleeatingwatching as well. some of the class pple eat quite nicely but some eat horribly. and im dead serious about this one. just watching her eat is enough to make me nauseous.

anyway, id was fun today. we got to play as part of our last assignment which i can't seem to remember at this point in time but dun really give a damn. play board games in case u were wondering. mahjong, pictionary, old maid, some funny game that was realy boring, poker and alot more. mahjong was the first one to get snatched up so we were left with the boring game and old maid, which didn't turn out that bad. had quite a few good laughs and that made me considerably more alive.

well, open house starts tmr and i'll probably pop down on sat if i manage to finish authoring. i wanna go to tp and sp to see see look look. oh oh oh.. one more thing.. one more HUGE thing.......




MEMOIRS OPENS TMR!!! i cant wait!! ahhh.. quick sombody! ask me out.... haha =] after i awake from my coma that is.

IM HAPPY!! i had bb's american brownie for dinner and it was DELICIOUS! and cheese fries and abit of danni's sundae.. after sitting for a few good hours talking and laughing and danni observing my every move, and entertaining me or rather me entertaining her (she was like laughing at everything i did and everything the next table was doing) and feeling three months pregnant, we decided we needed exercise so strolled down to ps.

passed by this new sambawang music store and went in to kaypo kaypo abit. picked out cds randomly and were like diss-ing that band or that artist, who we liked, who we saw live blah blah. i think we spent almost an hour in the store looking at cds and dvds, talking about scary movies and stuff. then we deided that we should probably leave cause stores were closing. went to spotlight to look for some spongy material or whatever you call it but unfortunately, they had none. apparently art friend has some. if im not too lazy ill probably get my ass down there to get some.

and now i have to get work done cause i have a make- up lesson tmr. stupid. fancy going back to sch on a sat early in the morning. damn it... i could be sleeping and dreaming of american brownie...

3d is driving me insane. non- stop for the past two days can seriously make one irritated. and it doesn't help that my com is lllaagggggggiiinnnnggggg........ i think its cause of the trojan but then again, virus scan says tha the file has been deleted so i dunno. maybe, maybe not.

my mum was watching the ren ci show on channel u and just when i came out, the monk who was always doing all these crazy stunts was walking across some building with the rain splashing down on him and his sleeves flapping against the wind. sheesh. it must be freezing and he is damn... his concentration is damn good lah. 66 stories high. i mean, just 12 floors up and i start to freak all the more 66 floors. hats off him..

but the part which made me really feel for him was when he was asking for donations and he broke down cause the calls were crawling in. he said that everyone of them really did their best and it was all for the same cause. one of the patients asked him: what will happen to us? no family, no friends, no money. that was when he broke down, and i was seriously touched.

i guess my mum was too cause she told me to call in. and its not the line for the $5 donation but for the $15 one. whoa one shot donate $15 and she doesn't usually donate for these kinda charity shows well, can't really help feeling touched cause it was the first time we saw that guy cry. not that it was also the first time he had another kind of expression. he always has the same face. scared, happy, whatever. it's just one face. so when we saw him crying, we were like.. hmm. so yeah. just wanna say that this year didn't really get off to a good start but well, things change right?

I EXERCISED!!! I ACTUALLY WENT JOGGING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE YEAR 2006! wait let me rephrase that. I ACTUALLY WENT JOGGING FOR THE FIRST TIME! besides PE where teachers torture you into running 2.4 every week saying it's good practise for nafa and pt for odac by running around the track for every one minute that some one was late. i think the record was 23 rounds. we were like running for an hour and a half non- stop. shit that teo she- man... we hate her and she hates us. now how rare is that?? RARE im telling you. and what's more? i went running, in the rain. with my sister. all i can say is that she did a good job psychoing me into going jogging by saying that i was getting fat and it'll all turn to flab and lard blah blah blah.

whatever

my rabbit's either gone mad or she's moulting (do rabbits moult?) or she's i dunno what. she's like pulling out her own fur for some reason and now there are fur balls around the house. i seriously don't think she's hot.

alright its the new year and since everyone's getting their new year resolutions done, i should probably get mine done too. except that the chances of me actually doing those stuff are probably as high as the world ending or some sort. anyway, here goes:-

- stop being so blur
- dun let danni have the chance to call me sotong or lamb or dog or whatever new animal that she thinks suit me..
- grow taller
- become tanner ( that always seem to be on my list but it never happens)
- work harder
- sleep more
- exercise more
- save $$$
- eat more american brownies
- watch memoirs of a geisha ( now this one is probably the one and only thing that will most likely happen within the year)
- be nicer ( especially to marshmallows)
- dun get pissed off at certain pple
- laugh more
- eat more and hopefully dun put on weight
- ........

can't think of anymore stuff to add on so i'll just leave it as that. i forsee myself forgetting everyone of the above listed and the same stuff will be on the list again next year. HAPPY NEW YEAR! ha

im back!!! and i loved every bit of the trip.. i'll probably perfect my jap and seriously consider moving to japan. ha

just came back on the 31st at almost 11pm so i had offically only one hour to usher in the new year in singapore. and that was done by doing tonnes of unpacking and stuff and was too tired to blog so this is it man... its just gonna flow and u pple will just eat it all up. haha

for starters, we arrived at tokyo at 6am in the morning and instead of taking a cab to the hotel, (the cab prices there are insane), we took the subway which was not very much cheaper considering tickets were about $6 sing. (the more expensive ones cost about $30 sing) with all our barang barang, somehow we managed to squeeze onto the train. so it was a long two hour ride, switching trains, getting lost in the station with huge luggages, blocking everyone in our way, staring for a full ten minutes at all the different subway lines, trying to figure out how to get our damn tickets from the damn machines which only sprouts japanese and finally, we got to our hotel. the hilton tokyo. stress. and after that battle, my mum wanted to go our to walk walk like almost immediately. sheesh. apperantly she's never heard of the term jet lag. but did we care? she couldnt go out with all her kids in bed so yeah. she went to sleep too.

now i have a statement to make. all japanese are like in a perpetual hurry. they always walk damn fast and when they knoch into u, the one thing that they don't do is apologise. so after much apologising, we noticed that we were the only ones doing that so we decided that apologising was not needed very much. unless the person falls flat on his face of smthg then you apologise. other than that, no need. oh and the subway station that was near our hotel was like singapore's cityhall. always crowded except that at 6 in the morning and at 10 at night, there doesn't seem to have a decrease in pple. and there are like almost 13 different lines to get from one place to another so the whole map of the whole subway route is like lines and lines of different colours with super small words that reading or rather looking at it too long gives you a headache.

but anyway, went to asakusa which is that huge temple where all the stars went and did a bit of shopping. the food there rocks btw. the big head below belongs to my sister.

this is what the inside looks like. two rows of shops shops and more shops.

my mum and her holy water..

next was ueno which is smthg like this huge huge pasar malam where they sell all the seafood and stuff, so my mum bought like two big bags of food. that was probably all that we did on the first day cause we were too tired. the next day, we met up with my mum's friend and we went around with them cause her bro lived in jap for like two years already so yeah. went to hakone for more sight seeing and the best part was that there were eggs to be eaten. eggs that were cooked at the hot springs so yeah. climbed up some mountain breathed in sulpur filled air, just to get to the black eggs. ha fun though.

the mountain right at the back with the clouds is mt fuji. (view from the cable car)

that night was kinda scary cause my bro and i felt the hotel shaking but my mum and sister felt nothing and guess what? in the morning, my mum's friend told us that there was an earthquake though minor and japan sooo happens to be the land of natural disasters and earthquakes so yea. we were kinda freaked but that didnt stopp us.

third day was at tokyo tower where they had this trick museum and my sister and bro did all kinds of stupid stuff. hah and we went to ueno again cause we didnt finish it on the first day but befor e that, we dropped my bro off at akihabara which is like sim lim jap style. all the damn cool eletronics that singapore doesn't have. tempted by all the phones and mp3 players. if im not wrong, they already have a xbox 360 or smthg and the graphics are to die for. i even know what the latest game there is. kingdom hearts or smthg. beat that. hah

my bro was probably the happiest one cause after his trip to akihabara, he came back with 7-8 toys. all gundam. some for his friends some for himself and the best part or so he claims is that all are almost half price than in singapore. dunno what high grade, master grade and whatever. he bought like four for himself lah. hmmm oh we went to the fish market too. supposedly to see the bidding for the fishes and stuff but unfortunately, the bidding is not opened for viewing so we just went to see what it was like. real eye opener though. everything there is huge. even the crows there are HUGE!

cuttlefish alive and kicking. i lluuuurrrvvvee cuttlefish...

fish market done and we're off to osaka. in the bullet train and boy was that cool. omg.. haha

the rest of osaka was basically the same and i don't really have pictures cause i didn't bring my camera out so yeah.. only one thing to say. i love denny's. my favourite resturant.

that's probably about all about the trip. loads of pictures but too lazy to upload. so yeah. alot of stuff to buy but didnt buy cause too expensive. train tickets alone scare the pants off you, all the more shopping. oh and one more thing. i realised that there are alot of japanese guys who are way better looking than singaporean guys. haha. probably another incentive to moving to japan. cheers =) happy new year peeps! oh and to danni marshmallow: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! dun say i sotong never say 5 times. i say here.. haha =)
