packing packing crazily everyday. and in the middle of that i still can catch up with around 15 episodes of bleach, listen to still fantasy gazillions of times so that i can now officially catch some of his lyrics, go out for lunch with uncle 4 and family, skype with rahh and sang more jay songs :) , AND organise mummy's pictures... ... looks like packing wasn't thatttt crazy now. which just means that i have to realllly pack proper later tonight. and so, sorry caroline and yunqin i can't go to the airport tonight. but anyway we will catch one another at some point or another in london la so no biggie.

see la, my horrible will power. i was just supposed to charge my laptop battery and i end up going online for 2 almost 3 hours now. this is bad.

ahh yes, hady has won singapore idol :( enough said. poor bird she must be super depressed. actually can tell from the live atmosphere that hady had much more supporters. they were louder, more passionate and basically just MORE. welll now he and taufik can go slug it out for the super tiny market they both find themselves in while dear jon goes on and wins over taiwan and china. :)

i bought a nice pair of flats and i have just succeeded in smuggling them into the luggage! yay.

the story of me and the letter J...

here are some significant things recently that all begin with the letter J... such a lovely letter :)


  • Jay's seventh cd is out! and i've got it! duh. even though everyone says it's not very good (take note bird) i think otherwise. it's wonderful as usual :) it runs so smoothly from start to finish and this time he actually made an effort to pronounce the words to ju hua tai properly! ahahha. and i just so happen to watch him on wan quan yu le... it's been a joyously-filled jay week.. wahaha.
  • Jonathan leong is going to win singapore idol. especially after lilian and i personally went down to support him last night at the indoor stadium. heh mosh pit summore haha. sorry for the grainy picture we weren't allowed to bring our cameras in. my phone's resolution's actually quite not bad huh.
  • Japanese anime! haha.. (well... i had to draw the link) bleach! ahhhh kuchiki byakuya is how cool. i love how no one can pronounce his name properly haha. senbunzakura kageiyoshi! oh and ichigo's not bad too... ok here's an example how watching too much anime can infiltrate your life:

Brother's friend R: "eh how to do this question?"
Brother looks at the question, "hmm, this is taicho level already, always skip this kind of questions!"

and another example:

R and his brother sits at the computer when R was supposed to teach his brother for the PSLE coming up in a weeks' time. They've been playing games for quite a while. R's mum suddenly bursts into the room, back from the market: "NI MEN WEI SHE ME ZAI NA LI?!". My brother then warns R: "you better get ready for her bankai!" and they both laugh.

i think i'm going nuts

5 more days...

and i've caught catching-up-fatigue

Sunday, September 10, 2006

I have just received tons of post from Cambridge and from the JCP (Junior Committee Parlour, which is kinda like the student council of the college) of Pembroke. some exerpts from the booklet of house rules:
  • Avoiding fire: "you must never leave any pans unattended while in use, and you must avoid in particular frying in oil, which can generate high temperatures and fumes, and thus considered to be dangerous, as well as anti-social." well then, if i can't fry in oil, what can i fry in? maybe i'll have special frying liquids when i wanna cook there. and anti-social? how is that anti-social?? oh then there's more: "the bursar may remove, without notice, any frying pan!" apparantly it's illegal to bring a frying pan to college. quite a tricky move to get us to all eat from the buttery eh!!
  • Entertainment and parties: "permission must be obtained in advance for any party exceeding 15 persons and will require that stewards are named to assist in the smooth running of the party". sounds regally restrictive... like there's so much order to be followed in college.

the rest of the package was quite interesting. it sounds like a lot of fun in fresher's week! i'll have parties and pub-crawls almost every night. die la i'm going to be so tired after only the first week. oh and there's going to be staircase dinners, family outings, matriculation dinners where i'll have to wear an academic gown, whatever that is, and lots of other obligations to attend to. it's going to be packed.

on another note, i haven't started packing yet! and the worse thing is there aren't people around these days who are free enough to hang out with me anymore. so i'm left alone in the house most of the time. thank god for korean dramas! and the internet! my companion buddies, i foresee, through to the day i leave our sunny little island for the cold of the UK. it's only 2 and a half weeks more.
