i would like to write a book about how my mom and i went to johor and back in 6 hours. maybe i'll name it 'to johor and back in 6 hours'. we actually went for some retail therapy [50% sale at mng. we got 5 different tops and paid less than a hundred sing dollars for them all. we were temporarily happy.] and to get some presents for my mom's company gift exchange program shite. after that we got hungry and we went to eat at some sushi bar.
mine. sushi bento i think
my mom's. tempura smt or another
this is my favourite. tiny marinated baby octopuses
this waiter was really cute. the rest of the staff spoke to us in broken english/malay but he spoke with a nice english accent. pretty funny actually.
we look nothing alike.
we left the place carrying like 7000 plastic bags and i almost forgot that we were within walking distance to the customs and almost hailed a cab. tired but happy.
i have just realised that i have 3 project proposals due very soon and a photography assignment due next wednesday. my brain is not working as fast as it should because for the past 12 years of my tertiary life, december is a month to relax and sleep and watch oprah. im hoping the new year will wake it up and i can do my work properly. and yes, that was just me procrastinating as usual, making excuses for my persistent laziness.
the recent attacks by mother nature is making me quite depressed. looking at pictures of toddlers lying dead in the mortuary, being nothing but numbers in the rising death toll [114,000 and counting]. they never stood a chance but here i am alive yet constantly complaining. i hope to learn to appreciate things more and i think that's my only resolution for the coming year.
in 5 days i will be 19. in 365+5 days i will be 20. i am terrified.

at this very moment there is a malay couple fighting at my void deck. the girl sounds possesed and keeps hitting the guy's chest in your oh so typical girly manner. the guy, who is decked in full army attire, keeps holding her down while jabbing his finger at her face when he speaks. from where i am [second floor only lah] i can only seem to hear the girl's screams."i dah serik lah dengan you!" [i've had it with you]
"lepaskan i!" [let me go]
"you gi buang nombor pompuan tu sekarang jugak!" [you better delete the girl's number now]
"you memang jantan tak guna!' [you are a good for nothing man]
right now they are sitting at the stairs and the girl is crying but looking away from the guy and the guy has his arm around her and trying to console her i guess. it's the funniest thing ever and the only thing i'm sad about is the lack of popcorn or nachos. im literally enjoying the show. spend thousands of dollars on home entertainement? dude, this is home entertainment. did i mention that the girl doesnt even look legal? yikes.
teenage love is the best. especially when you're a guy and you're looking anywhere to get laid. especially when you're a girl who's convinced you've found the one and then you break up and i have to comfort you but in reality im laughing behind your back. come on. you're teenagers. go watch some porn and it's all going to be fine.

a fair warning. this is going to be the longest post i've ever, well, posted.SUNDAY
me, balqis, nabillah and kak ameen went to watch ocean's 12. meh. not as great at the first one. too many cliches and too little oomph factor. then we were joined by fairuz and ummairah [my cousins whom i dont see very often]. we went to jurong point to eat and there was this show with many many comic book heros like my favourite one, wonderwoman. [does anybody watch the series? wonderwoman was hot man.] then we went to the science center and snow city because we're nerds like that.
note that this is not wonderwoman. i forgot what's her name.
it was freezing even before we got inside snow city.
[from left to right] kak ameen, ummairah, fairuz, nabillah and yours truly.
snow city was fun but my butt hurt like a motherfucker after that.
MONDAY
longest day ever. i was dozing off in all of my lectures. and then i met up with nurul and kham after school although all i wanted to do was crawl to bed and sleep for 12 hours straight.
this was a really funny moment because nurul was having cramps [simpol biawak] on her foot and kham was massaging it an experienced mak urut.
i have emo friends.
this looks like its been severely photoshopped but it's actually my fucked up camera with its fucked up parts. and my nose looks broken.
it was also nabillah's 15th birthday. cant believe she's only 15.
TUESDAY
my web design class was almost fun except that it was moving along really slowly. we were taught how to use photoshop [haahaa] and this was one of the things we did.
*picture taken using my handphone
yes, i pay thousands of dollars to go to school and learn how to make george bush look stupid. so worth it.
then i went out with nabillah and balqis. i was so so broke so we didnt celebrate much. but we did manage to have dinner at coffee club. so yeay for that.
THURSDAY
nurul bought for me this pencil case from borders that i was showing her and kham on monday when we went out. highly suspicious but also thoroughly grateful. spanks you skank.
during audio smt or another class [aka most boring class ever] we were asked to 'play' with the stuff to get ourselves familiarized. but of course we had to take pictures instead.
me, rozi, julie and huda[codename: HO]
she was jumping.
thats angela on the far right. she's the quiet one of the class.
FRIDAY
photography and written communication are the only modules i genuinely like. i better pass them modules or im going to go nuts. after school i met up with kham. we went ikea for a bit. i was too broke to get anything so i mentally added things on my 'stuff to get' list. then we went to long john's at dhoby ghaut to have dinner. i swear im now convinced that to work there you basically have to show shit. they have the stupidest staff and we waited quite long for our chicken wrap to come and ended up having fish wrap. but we were too hungry to ask for a change because then it will take another half an hour for our food to come.
waiting for food looking pissed off version 1
waiting for food looking pissed off version 2
we were amused by this though.
after that we almost went to arcade to play games but it was too expensive. yes lah im that broke.
SATURDAY
today my mom woke me up early cos my dad wanted us to have breakfast at hajah maimunah. have any of you been there? it's the best because you can order like 8 dishes and the bill will be less than 20 dollars. the owner's daughter is kham's friend. she's pretty, she's rich, she's 18 and she has a car. dont you just hate her already because i know i do. and she's nice also. the nerve of some ppl! anyways after that i went back home to change before going to zahriah's house. she got engaged today. i find it scary that someone my age is getting so commited. but hey, whatever rocks your boat. i love her still.
she looked so pretty.
12 days to my pay and i already have a list of things to buy. top of the list would be a watch, an organiser [because im the least organised person in the world and im going to pretend getting one would change me], some tops and actually getting my jeans altered. how long is 12 days again?

yesterday i had a really scary dream. i dreamt my mom and i were shopping at johor and then it became dark so we walked around some blocks [that looked like sporean hdb flats]. we were then robbed by these 3 chinese guys. my mom got slashed and i got shot at. like 3 times. one at my stomach, one at my shoulder and one at my head [in that order]. i remember thinking when i got shot at my stomach "fuck i read that being shot at the stomach is the slowest and most painful way ro die oh shit motherfucker!". and then i fell to the ground and i was supposed to die i guess but i didnt so i pretended to be dead. they were dividing me and my mom's belongings and my mom was crying at one corner and i wanted to tell her to shut and to lie down and pretend to be dead or at least pretend to faint. but naturally i couldnt because i was supposed to be dead. aaaaaand i forgot how it ended.yesterday was a super long day. i started at 9 and ended at 4. i had photography in the morning then written communication after that. im hoping to do well for both, especially the latter. i mean i have so much shit to write about so it cant be all that bad. amalina came down to my school to pick me up [haahaa!]. actually she came to eat my all time favourite [or obsession], mega special noodles at SIM. we chilled outside for 2 hours and then she went to meet her boiplen and i went to meet kham. we walked from city hall to raffles again because duh. we're that free.
this is huda. she is a ho. correct not girl?
this is amalina. she is a pervert.
this is me and my miserable ponytail.
this is kham. she is very jahat. we like to gossip like nyonyas.
one of the advantages of my job is that we get to watch films that have yet to be opened to the public. ocean's 12. matt damon. yeeeeehaw.

school is... school. monday was extremely torturous because i have 4 lectures in a day [3 back to back lectures, a 2 hour break then another 2 hour lecture]. if you know me you'll know that i have the shortest attention span in the world so this schedule does not work well with me.modules that i am taking [dont yawn ok.]:
social psychology
written communication
web design and computer graphics
photography
audio smt or another
creative applied thinking skills [CATS]
individual and the community [IAC]
the last 2 are my interdisciplinary studies [IS] modules. nyeh. they seem pretty easy to pass. and my IAC tutor is sexy in an underrated way. and my CATS tutor is so corny it's kinda cute. he reminds me of those really talkative taxi drivers that go on and on about singapore's government and their sorry lives and their good for nothing children.
my core modules seem alright i guess. except for audio smt or another. the only way i would have enjoyed taking a module involving audio was if jim ang was the tutor. but he isnt. boo-hoo.
but i'm happy because today i went to the library and borrowed some books. and yesterday some dvds i ordered came. and 2 days ago i got to eat my mega special noodles/see pretty boy and realise that i no longer think he's cute.
one question.
where my droogies at, yo.

hello friends. my last week of freedom, and i was pms-ing the whole time. post, not pre. p(ost)ms-ing really sucks because a) that's when all the zits come out, b) i hate everything and everyone, c) i get like really pathetically emotional, and of course the list does not stop there. man.i have so many things to say but i am too tired and weary to make my insanely dull life appear interesting tonight so maybe another night.
i have school tomorrow and there's only one thing im looking forward to.
mega special noodles, here i come!!
p.s. i was serious when i said i had a lot of things to say.
