'sup dawg! how's my homies doin?

Krystene the hip hopper

I will always remember 27th and 28th March 2003. It was special and almost magical. Now I can just hope.

Just thought of something.

Was eating lunch with PS and MM just now when the SARS issue came up. The boss is in China for a business meeting. Ok, now am glad that will be teaching at Catholic High when she comes back. Had better not come near self or will spray insecticide at her. I swear.

This is driving me crazy.

Heaven is a place on earth

I know, very cliche

About 20 more days to Redang!!! Yay! I can't wait. Have to go get some new shades. Unlilke Sam, I'm not looking for guys :lol, I'm looking for sun, surf and lots of fun!

Here's a peek at the luxury we are about to enjoy!

What on earth?

Either I look really friendly or the woman on the train is really bored.

Was on the train home yesterday and was sitting in a corner typing some secrets into my hp (Hah! Got your attention didn't it? Lol). Anyhow, this woman in bright red came and sat next to me. Being partially blinded by the bright colours (and her fashion sense), I grimaced. Somehow, this woman decided to take it as a sign of goodwill and started talking to me.

*Note - I am busy thinking delicious thoughts about somebody, I so do not need someone to talk to me right now.

Anyway, she started by asking me how long does it take to reach Jurong. I blankly replied 30 minutes. Silence. She decides to ask me where I stay. What on earth? Why would I tell her that? Sp I lied and said Jurong (stupid me, she probably thinks we can be buddies or something). Then she goes on to say how lucky I was to be so thin and can wear nice clothes, do I have a boyfriend, how happy she is to be in Singapore, where do I work, etc etc. Of course, I smiled and gave very general answers. Then I was about to reach Bukit Batok (Thank god!) and was preparing to get off when she sprang this on me - 'Lets keep in touch'

I swear, I was about to shout at her 'I don't even know you, what makes you think I randomly give out phone numbers?'. At the exactly same time, BaoYing messaged me. And she was already digging out her handphone. So I gave the very lame excuse of this cell phone being my father's and mine is confiscated because my bill is so high. Of course she persisted and even wrote her number on a piece of paper and gave it to me. God. And the worst came when she decides that she just have to get a number and asked for my home number.

WTF?! I went 'No' and walked away.

Sheer madness.

When I was quite young, I wanted to be a teacher. And if all goes well, and the SARS thing is under control, I should be teaching at Catholic High School on the 7th! Yay!

I'm freaked out.

Firstly, the basics. Catholic High is a all boys autonomous school, as opposed to, um, an all girls school, I suppose. Although I'm only relieving for 2 weeks or so, I have to teach a Secondary 4 class. For gosh's sake, what am I getting myself into? For these sec 4 pupils,they only have the most important exam in their secondary school life, the O levels.

I'm freaking out

Ok. I went over to CHS on Friday. Was relatively empty because school's closed b/c of the SARS thingy. I had to wait for 45 minutes for Maurice, the teacher I'm relieving. *Fumes. I have never ever waited for so long for anyone before. Usually, they wait for me. Ah well, he's a nice guy though. Relatively young, younger than I thought. Anyhow, I found out that I have to do lit, english and social studies. What on earth. I don't even know what social studies comprise of. Oh well.

Oh no

Then Maurice finds that he has to tell me more horrifying things. Like the students in the class. Like, I so don't need to know that. Apparently, some of the students like to 'test' their teacher. They are 'sarcastic' at times, and would even stand up and walk around in the middle of class. And then, that I have to reach school at 7.15 every morning for assembly. Assembly starts at 7.25. But if you arrive anytime between 7.15 and 7.20, you are pushing it.

I remember having to run into school almost everyday at SA. Heck, sometimes I have to take a cab from the MRT station. Heck, I was almost late even for my A level lit paper; went into the exam venue with about 3 minutes to spare.

This is going to be a scary 2 weeks.

Agree to disagree

I love how these 3 words link up to be so meaningful. My opinion contradicts with yours. So we agree to disagree. Forget about the whole thing.

Sam called me today after reading my entry (in regard to hers) While we didn't talk about it a lot, I think it is safe to say that we are all cool and agreed to disagree. (I love saying that!) We each have differing opinion and hey it's okay, because we are different people after all. As for the rest, it's a misunderstanding on both our parts, so everything is A-OK now.

Damn, the 'Split Ends' people should have called by now. We'd make good television.

Burt Bacharach wrote this song for the Gulf War, I think.

What the world needs now,
Is love, sweet love,
It's the only thing that there's just too little of.
What the world needs now,
Is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.

Yesterday this guy who was coughing very badly sat behind me. And he coughed at my direction of course.

Problem is, I am having a slight fever right now. I'm scared.

I can't believe what happened in these 2 days.

You say you respect my views. And then you turn around and tell me that my views are 'bull'.

You say I don't respect your views and am trying to change your point of view. My entry wasn't even directed at you. My entry was written even before I read your opinion. Please do not think that everything is directed towards you because it is NOT. I listen to other people as well. Ie Jill. I talk to other people about the war as well.

What you say honestly does not make sense to me. Of course, if 'insisting on my views' meant that I am giving my argument and explanation, then I comprehend. If 'directing you to my angle' meant that I am telling my viewpoint, then I comprehend. And in your own words, 'If you think I'm personal, so what if I am?' This is my personal blog. And if you took time to read, I did not try to change anybody's view. In all respect, I do not think that you see both sides of the story, because, again, in your own words, 'That's why when I heard that he was not anti-guns, I totally stopped listening to his crap.'. That was in your own words, you remember.

Also, I do not think that you should regard my entry to be directed against you. For I know that you can get 'misinformed' and I 'should not rely on you to get facts'. That, again, is in your own words.

My views are based on what I think and what my forum board is discussing. Please do not assume that I am writing about you. My views are what I think. I am not a dictator; If you took time to read my entry, you will see that I didn't even try to change anybody's viewpoint. Why is it when you write, it's your viewpoint, and when I write, it's considered trying to change your viewpoint?

I can't write anything anymore without my words being scrutinized to the last bit.

*Whew! I got through this civil and polite enough. Lol. It wasn't always the case. I was pretty riled up. And this is what I wrote, after deciding to chuck the offensive one over to my other site. That's where the truth always is.

Just my way of brightening up the world :)

Saw a guy on the train today. Was standing next to me. He looked like Stephan Fung. And he smiled at me :). Now this is one guy I don't mind smiling back to.

Before I start this entry, I would like to point out that I am not pro-war, I am not anti-war. I am pro-action

A question of targeting the right issue?

Several more people died in the war today.

My stand on the war is basically very simple. Do what you have to do to keep your country safe. GWB took that oath when he was sworn into office, that is his main constitutional job. If Saddam is a threat to the US, then it's his job to defend his country. I believe in this case, war is more for self defence than a pre-emptive strike. Heck, the UN would never approve of the war if it were pre-emptive.

I was very disturbed to read that Jill believes that the war for GWB’s own ego trip. It disturbs me even more when I realise that many people are judging the war based on their judgement on GWB. Firstly, it is VERY unlikely that GWB is doing this for his own ego; war is definitely something that can affect his re-election. So why the heck would he want to do this just to boost his ego? That observation is so unfounded. Secondly, I believe that it is alright that people want to form judgement of GWB. But the issue here is about the need for stopping Saddam’s use of weapons of mass destruction, not GWB. If you allow your personal judgements to come in the way of evaluating the need for war, you are not approaching from the correct angle.

I stated that I am not pro war. But I am pro-action. I am pro doing something to prevent any form of attack from Iraq in the future. There is no question at all that Iraq possesses WoMD. Saddam himself has admitted it and there was even a map shown where the various types of WoMD are located, amongst them chemical and biological weapons. A tape was shown of 2 Iraqi soldiers talking about their WoMD shown by Colin Powell to the UN. The UN weapons inspectors also pointed out that there are WoMD in Iraq, so the point is that there is no question at all that they possess those weapons.

Not only do they posses them, Saddam has also used them. Not on other countries (yet), but within his own country. After the Gulf war, he gassed a city in the Northern part of Iraq, which refused to participate in the war. If the leader (or should I say dictator) of a country turns and kills his own people, he has no qualms about doing that to other countries as well. That is what makes him dangerous. I would rather the US go to war now rather than people in the US being attacked because nobody did anything to capture Saddam and the WoMD.

Other options? Many people disagree that going to war is the only way out. What about a peace treaty? Or talk it out? The truth is that there was a peace agreement which Saddam did not comply. What other choice is there?

The real me?

Saw the Japanese hairdresser again yesterday. I am definitely gonna get a haircut whether I like it or not.So I'm shallow. Sue me.

Run your hands through my hair.
I'm thinking it'll be really sexy to have a guy cut your hair. As in have a guy hairdresser. I have my eye on this one, and if all goes well, I'll get my haircut at his salon :) I really like the way he rans his hands through the length of the girl's hair and sort of fluffs it up. Incredibly sexy. The first time a guy did that was when I was in secondary school. Sec 2, I think. And he was standing behind me, and suddenly I felt him playing with my hair, and running his fingers through it. It didn't help that I liked him. I can't tell you how sexy it was. *ok, will stop before I start gushing and reveal too much.

Can't recall any other *he touched my hair! moments. One stood out b/c it was kind of different. Was at Geog lecture when suddenly Kingsley tugged on my hair. Of course, it didn't feel sexy or anything.
He was like, - 'What would you do if I cut your hair?'
Christine - 'I'll kill you'
Lol, two totally different reactions huh?

Clay!
I really dig Clay's voice. Have just downloaded his rendition of Somewhere out there and it's fabulous! If someone sings that way to me, I will marry him immediately.

It's all done! Time to blog! Lol, I haven't really been updating a lot these few days, been a lazy girl, haha..

Anyway, I'll probably put up another title heading picture soon. Maybe will change Holly Valance... Maybe will do an animated gif, actually have a few animated gif that I made myself (*am proud of it, pats self on back) but it's not quite what i want to put up on the title head.

Anyway, the trip to Redang is underway! Yay! Am very excited, as was just saying to sam the other day that I want to go to the island where they filmed 'Summer Bubble Tea' and a couple of days later, she told me about Redang. It seems pretty cool, the movie made it really nice, of course. I have something about beach places. Like the Maldives and such. So the whole thing's cool and it promises of Fun Fun Fun! Woo Hoo!

goodluck

This is for my friend Spencer, who is going to Shanghai to train for the SEA games. He smsed me yesterday, and apparently, he did very well in the trials and will be leaving in a couple of days. Well, take care, you and wear lots of warm clothes!

Calm down, Christine. Sticking your foot into the computer will only result in you having to pay for the stupid computer and having to redo your nails.

All done! My new design is up and running! Apparently, with the previous taggy, it wiped out the star cursor, but it's all fixed now!

There is something about wearing a denim skirt and a pink spaghetti top and having trainers on your feet that makes people stop and stare at you. Of course, you have to be on Robinson Road where just about everybody else is in office wear. I think it's the trainers. They just do not appreciate Reebok. Maybe I'll wear my Nike one tomorrow. People were looking at me like, 'Little lady, you belong on Orchard Road. Not Robinson Road. Run along now and don't disrupt the busy executives'. Well.

Maybe it's my un-made-up face. I do not even have lip balm on, resulting in me looking a little pale - no blush, normal sized eyes - no mascara, and dry lips - no gloss. I swear everyone in Tanjong Pagar and Raffles Place have makeup on. Well. I love my skin, so I'm letting it breathe. I used to put on makeup, but now I'm just too lazy lol.

He messaged me. Weird. Nice kind of weird.

Sometimes I wonder what I can do for my parents. Not much, it seems.

Hope you live forever

Yes, this is what PS smsed me when I told her I was going to the Forever Living Products thingy. It was pretty good, so to say. I must say I find Nu Skin better (probably b/c they did half a face only to show the diff) and FLP did the whole face. But I liked the concept of your skin is a reflection of your health, so I'm buying some stuff from there.

I would have loved to start this journal entry with my profound, deep thoughts about the US-Iraq war. But the truth is, when the war started yesterday, it didn’t affect me at all. I was at my computer desk, typing away. I didn’t feel the impact of a bomb blast. I didn’t see pieces of glass being blasted apart. I didn’t watch as the US planes swoop in the Northern side of Iraq. I wasn’t at Baghdad, fearfully waiting as I listen to reports of war happening in the rest of the country.

I was surfing the net.

It’s weird to think that as the US Air and Navy Corps were carrying out bombing yesterday, people over in Iraq are tense and possibly waiting for the first sounds of war; and here I am, doing something so unimportant like checking my mailbox. I feel so ignorant.

Excerpt from ChannelNewsAsia.com


US President George Bush said late Wednesday (early Thursday in Middle East and Asia) that he had launched war against Iraq, promising a "broad and concerted campaign" to disarm Baghdad and topple Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

"My fellow citizens, at this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger," he said in a televised address to the nation.

"On my orders, coalition forces have begun striking selected targets of military importance to undermine Saddam Hussein's ability to wage war," he said in a short speech.

Speaking from the White House Oval Office, he commented that, "These are opening stages of what will be a broad and concerted campaign."

He said that 35 countries were helping the US either through contributing troops or supplying intelligence or bases for US forces.

He also claimed that the Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein will use women, children and men as human shields to protect his troops.

"In this conflict, America faces an enemy who has no regard for the conventions of war or rules of morality," he added.

"I want Americans and all the world to know that coalition forces will make every effort to spare civilians from harm," he said.

President Bush attempted to tamp down some of the bravado that has emerged within the US that the Iraqi army won't fight and the war will be over swiftly.

"A campaign on the harsh terrain of a nation as large as California could be longer and more difficult than some predict," warning that it may not necessarily be a short war.

He said the US has respect both for the Iraqi people and its culture as well as its religion. He added that the US's only goal is to free the people of Iraq from Saddam Hussein's regime and to restore the country to the control of the Iraqi people.

Excerpt from ChannelNewsAsia.com
Saddam rejects exile ultimatum as world braces for war

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has rejected an ultimatum to leave Iraq with his sons, setting the stage for the United States and Britain to launch military action designed to disarm him and end his rule.

US President George W Bush gave Saddam 48 hours -- until early Thursday Baghdad time -- to flee or face removal at the hands of the 280,000 US and
British troops massed around his borders.

The White House said US-led troops would enter Iraq to hunt for banned weapons even if Saddam capitulates and goes into exile with his two sons Uday and Qusay.

Saddam appeared in military uniform on state television, which quoted him telling his Cabinet he would defy the massive force arrayed against him and emerge the victor.

Iraq's UN ambassador warned all Americans would be at risk, whether inside or outside Iraq, if war came. "This is a war. So how can you have a safe place in the war," Iraqi envoy Mohammed Aldouri said.

The Bush administration has announced it is raising the national terrorist alert level to its second highest.

"Iraqi state agents, Iraqi surrogate groups, other regional extremist organizations and ad hoc groups or disgruntled individuals may use this time period to conduct terrorist
attacks against the United States," Mr Ridge warned.


It's sureal that the war is impending. War was something one read in the papers, or in books, or hear about, never thinking that it could one day happen. And it's happening. Iraq is given till tommorrow to make a decision - to be exiled from Iraq. The thing is, I can understand Bush's argument. Weapons of mass destruction are dangerous. More so if these weapons are in the hands of a country like Iraq. After Sept 11th, we all can see how terrorist attacks can result in. Bush is certainly not taking any chances. On the other hand, who likes war? It will not only affect the US, Iraq and their immediate allies, but the whole world.

It's weird to think that tommorrow, war will begin. When will it stop?

I still can't post a damn thing

There! Happy? stupid java

Yay! My other site is up and running after a period of screwed-upness! Access it here - I took out the link! hahahaha (chris 27oct05)

Or click on 'Truth' on the links corner.

Would like to say thanks to Tash and Sam for their help. :)

woo hoo! check out the gorgeous cursor!

News excerpt from Yahoo Singapore.
Airports, hospitals on alert for killer pneumonia
By Tan Ee Lyn

HONG KONG, March 17 (Reuters) - Airports and hospitals around the world were on alert on Monday for carriers of a severe type of pneumonia that has killed nine people, infected more than 100 and is being spread across the globe by air travellers.

South Korea has become the latest country to warn its citizens against travelling unnecessarily to mainland China, Hong Kong and Vietnam, where most of the infections have occurred. Singapore and Taiwan issued travel warnings on Friday.

The World Health Organisation issued a rare emergency travel advisory about the highly contagious Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), saying it was now a "global health threat".

The illness is an atypical pneumonia that begins with high fever, chills, cough and breathing difficulty, and can deteriorate rapidly into pneumonia. Some experts believe it is caused by a new virus. One person has died from the disease in the territory (HK) and 49 others have been infected.

Scientists around the world are working to identify and isolate the disease, which the WHO said was first detected in southern China in February, where it infected 305 people, killing five.

Chinese journalists say they have been told not to report on pneumonia cases, but diplomatic sources say people are aware of the outbreak, despite the news blackout.
The ability of the disease to spread quickly across the world was highlighted at the weekend when a Singapore doctor displayed symptoms and had to be taken off a plane in Frankfurt.

The doctor had earlier treated patients with the disease in Singapore. Most of the victims are doctors, nurses or close relatives who have had contact with infected people.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is freaking me out. Seriously. Travelling is becoming something that may potentially take your life. I cannot believe the Chinese journalists were told not to publish the news. It’s something so serious and they are told to shut up. What’s their point in doing that? It creates more harm than good. Perhaps it is a bid to make like their country is safe to go to. What with the 2008 Olympics and all. I don’t know what the motive behind the curbing of news is, but I am really irate that things like this happen.

Accessories

Oh, Accessories at PS has this 20% sale storewide. Must. Buy. Something.

Sam and Kimmy @ PS

Hung out with them quite a bit yesterday at PS. Actually hung out with Sam quite a lot this weekend ;) But it was fun.

Spent so much on food yesterday! We went to Pasta Mania and ate some spanich concortion and a beef lasagna (mmm!) The beef lasagna is really yummy, as all lasagna should and the spanich tortellini thingy... let's just say we wouldn't be eating that in the near future. Then I found this coroke thingy, a kind of croquette from Japan which is absolutely delicious, and ate 2. Bought chocolates and 2 bottles of drink. I am becoming quite the eater.

Anyway, didn't buy anything from the huge 3 hr sale at PS yesterday. Just bought a diary journal kind of thing. It's really sweet with an inspiring message at the front. Actually, to make as though we didn't spend any money, I suggested to Sam that we buy the journal for each other, so it's as though we didn't spend any money on ourselves; just got a gift from a friend. Silliness :)

Anyway, that was fun, though am probably quite tired.

Options

Went to the NUS open house yesterday. Yada yada, cute guy at Business yada yada. Am pretty much sold on NUS Biz Sch. Although SMU is pretty much intriguing too. Oh, over achiever cousin from TJ (4As, Distinction, Merit, A2, B3 (chinese)) decides to go to SMU too. Evil. With grades like this, he should go to Cambridge, which was what one of my RJ friend did (study law in Cambridge, she got A1 in GP). I hate him. Him pulling a stunt like this is equivalent to Ritchie deciding to study Arts when he has 6 points.

The look of…Tofu

Anyway, I saw Terence at the NUS open house. (*You can see I’m muffling my excitement here) He was at the place where all the Halls where promoting their respective halls. When I was about to go in, this joker decides to ask me if I wanted to join some chemistry club. Bleah. I got C6 for pure chem., sista. So by the time I went in, Terence was gone. So I decided I to check out the halls since I’m there anyway.

Was at the Eusoff Hall booth and talking to an ex SA guy when Terence walked past, again. (I said again because he was at Eusoff Hall booth when I saw him. I went in, he’s gone). So ex SA guy was talking to me and there I was, listening. Saw this tall person approaching and realised its Terence.

I looked at him as though I’ve never seen him before in my life. He looked at me… in a way that I might look at beancurd (tofu). Don’t get me wrong, I love beancurd. I look at it in interest, but I’m not ecstatic or anything.

I don’t make sense.

Scary Incidents

A while back I posted something about this manager who gave me a pendant. Anyway, he is freaking me out. After got my A level results, my colleague told him about it, and he was like ‘You should give us a treat.’ So my colleague said ‘No, you (ie manager) should give us a treat, since you are the manager. And I want in too, since I’m the one who suggested the treat.’

And he said ‘What, you want to be a ‘light bulb’?’

God, swear am so freaked by that wanted to take his face and put it on a porcupine. Then again maybe not, I would have to sterilise my hands later. My colleague figured he was probably joking.

Then on Friday, he was like; ‘Oh we should have dinner sometime’

Can you hear me gasp?

I played stupid and said ‘What?’ And he repeated the same thing after mumbling some incoherent stuff. So was like ‘Oh, dinner with LH (my colleague) and Annie (my boss)?’ And he thinks for 2 seconds and said ‘yah.’

Need to do damage control fast. Maybe in form of boyfriend. Yes.

there

Saw Terence on MRT today. He was the guy whom I had a crush on in school. But I don’t like him anymore, believe me. Who is silly enough to have a crush for such a long time anyway? I mean, really! Anyway, he was standing quite far away at first, and my colleague and I were about 5 feet away. Suddenly, after awhile, he walked over nearer to us. I got this extremely crazy urge to run away. I guess he hates standing at where he was standing, that’s why he walked over. I am so hot and bothered, I mean, not bothered. That was so not a Freudian slip. I mean, I don’t even like him.

*join the words in bold

Just realied that Marjorie Scandino and Claire Chiang are both above 50. What's up with powerful women looking so young in spite of their age?

Talking about Claire Chiang, just she just emailed! Not to self, of course, to the company. Actually, it was in reply to an email the company sent. Oh well. It's cool.

I am shallow. So sue me

OMG. Was on the train today and saw 3 different variants of what one could be in the 40s. It's scary. Am quite taken aback at how dishevelled one can be at the age of 40. Is quite freaky in style of Rosie Phua on Phua Chu Kang. Type 1 is the 'Ah Lian' kind of 40 year old woman. Scary. Her hair is more dyed than self's and she has on neon green paddle-pushes! God! Can you imagine? Type 2 and 3 are about the same - tired, dishevelled, makeup applied on in hope that winkles can't be shown but winkles still show anyhow.

Scaring self very badly. Where could one go to shop when in 40s? Is not possible to go to Mango or M)phosis or any remotely hip place to shop. Maybe will go to BritishIndia. Maybe will become rich and influential 40 plus women, like Marjorie Scardino�Cor closer to home, Claire Chiang (she's 51?! It can't be! She's gorgeous!). Well dressed too. Then will buy clothes from Chanel and whatnot.

Hah. Am only 19, yet thinking about life in the 40s.

*peers at up reader*

I don't think I'm ready to face the University signup yet. I mean, the choices I make are probably going to affect the rest of my life. God, it's not as if I have a lot of choices either. When you are from the arts facaulty, you reduce your varsity course choices by half. I wonder why, really. Does studying physics and chemistry give you so much of an edge such that you could study an arts course like literature in University? It makes me laugh, the fact that science fac people are allowed to apply for courses in the Arts and Social Science school. I can just imagine them science people in a vibrant literature discussion.

lecturer So, what Lear is experiencing now could be real madness at losing Cordelia, yet, his thoughts are coherent. He sees discovers the truth when he is mad. Just like Gloucester sees the light when he is blind.
science student Sir, he can't see the light, he's blind, you see. The blind cannot see. It's like when you add X with X, you get 2X. You cannot get anything else other than that answer.
arts student Shut up.

Oh well. I'm probably not choosing to study there, so I can't witness this scene. I really hope I can get into business school, what with is being a really really popular course and all.

Is business a wise choice, with the economy in the state it is now? Companies are downsizing, and here I am, wanting to do business. I've thought about it, if the economy continues to be this bad, and companies don't hire people when I graduate, I'm gonna start a clothing business with my friends. I can call Siew Lee. And Pei Shan.

Haha... Just remembered that Wei Yuan onced gathered a group of us and asked if we wanted to start a chicken rice business. I think there are profits in there. Just look at the chicken rice of Chatterbox Mandarin Hotel. It really is nothing special, yet it costs a whooping 20 bucks. (I should know, I ate there.) Maybe my friends and I could try a branded chicken rice thingy as well.

Oh God

I'm a purposely avoiding one subject. That's because I'm scared to death. I am not touching this subject. I might get a heart attack and this would be my last entry.

Androgyny

Here is part of the lyrics to one of my current favourite songs, Androgyny, by Garbage.

Boys in the girl's room
Girls in the men's room
You free your mind in your androgyny

Boys in the parlor
They're getting harder
I'll free your mind in your androgyny

Austria is one of the most beautiful places in the world! My wallpaper right now is one of Webshot's Austria photos. Gorgeous.

Oh no. I'm in trouble again.

Remember I was in crush with BritishIndia guy aka, the 40 year old director?

No more. Now it's another one.

IT'S OUT

It's out. Here are my results.

Advance Level

English Literature - A
Geography (Human and Physical) - A
Economics - B

AO level

Chinese Language - A
General Paper - C (I hate it. *fumes)

I don't know if I should be happy or sad really. While I'm happy with my lit, geog, econs and chinese, I'm so bummed about my general paper. I've NEVER gotten lower than a B!! Never, Never, Never!!!! I'm so mad. Now I have to take some entrance test thing, to make sure my english is ok. That's so insulting, imo. Huh! Me. Having to take an english test.

(hmm, I sound quite conceited )

And the worse thing is that I KNOW that my language is usually good, so the C is quite a horrible representation *fume, rant*. What's more ironic - my testmonial writes -'Christine speaks and writes fluently in English and Chinese'

The good news is that my SATS are quite decent, and my chances of getting into business school are high.

So it's either NUS Business School or SMU.

I'm so bummed.

Huh! Was on the train this morning to work when I saw the most gorgeous guy EVER! Maybe not in the tall, dark, handsome way, but in the intense eyes, gorgeous smile, guy next door kind of way. God, he's hot. And he's with this girl .Well, I cannot honestly say she is gorgeous or anything, b/c she's just normal looking. Pleasant.


Ok so I was quite far away from him. Ok so there are about 10 people blocking us. I was so noticing him and he didn't notice me at all! Didn't even glance once. I'm so bummed. I am conceited. When I did that in the past, the guy would notice back. Not this guy. Hmmphh.


Only when he got of the train (with that girl) and started walking when he looked at me. By that time, I was so miffed I gave a somewhat pouty look. Bleah.


I sound so conceited, I can't believe it. This is the hidden side to my apparent humility. lol. I can't believe I just said that :)

Jude Law: you like them romantic and British with
beauiful green eyes.


Which guy are you destined to have sex with?

Omen

I forgot that Snickers contains peanuts and bought a 'Cookies & Snickers' bar. (It's this really cool new stuff from M&M and Mars company, they have Cookies and M&Ms as well). So I was happily munching on it until i looked at the cookie chocolate thing and saw PEANUTS. I was freaked. I am so allergic to peanuts! God. This must be an omen. The peanuts were literally right under my nose.

A Level Results
It would be out this Thursday at 2. Gaaahhhh! I’m so freaked out you don’t know how scary it is. Bao Ying just messaged and asked if we would like to meet at Ikea for lunch before collecting our results. I really don’t know. It is really frightening, trying to keep a straight face and eat your lunch when your nerves are all shot to pieces. Then again, maybe I should go, as a sort of last meeting with my friends before I go ballistic over my results and get sent to the loony bin the next day.

It's my birthday

Yup, it was my birthday yesterday. Went out for early dinner late lunch thing with the clique at Swensons. Treat from Siew Lee, btw. I had lots of stuff to eat. Besies the extra long cheesedog meal thingy, I had the firehouse happy birthday icecream, and the giant earthquake.

Anyway, Siew Lee got me a BMW. Lol. She was saying how I always wanted a BMW, so she just went and bought one. A model of a BMW, of course. The funny thing was, she had already wanted to buy me a model BMW before. But she couldn't find it, so she smsed me a few days before and asked me what I wanted. And I told her, 'buy me a BMW then'. So she continued searching and found it. It's true. Siew Lee can read my mind. :)

Pei Shan and Meiming got me this cute star necklace from Perlini's. They know I like stars. Oh, I like butterflies too, guys. :) lol. And Sam got me a Calvin Klein lipgloss. It's really frosty! lol. Cool. I really like it how my friend put in so much thought into my presents, so I'd like to say THANK YOU!

Went shopping around later. Much fun.

What's with my looks?

So. Mike smsed me yesterday and was like, you should be pretty flattered, as my bunkmates say you look like Fann Wong. (Um, right) I thought that was pretty amusing, so I told the rest of the clique today. To my surprise, Pei Shan and Siew Lee chimed in that some other people had said the same thing. Siew Lee's colleague and Pei Shan's mum, to be exact. All of a sudden. I was taken by surprise, amusement kind of feeling. Because.

I've been told I look like Zoe Tay by 4 people. Then I had Michelle Chia, Irin Gan and Shu Qi (Lol, ok this probably doesn't count)

I mean, it's flattering, but well, I think those above mentioned as really beautiful women. I'm just, well, me.

Me and my superstar friends

Pei Shan - Zhang Hui Mei, Sharon Au.

Sam and I went to Mediacorp today to audition for this travel gameshow thingy that would be showing on Channel 5. It's called 'Split Ends' and we would be travelling in luxury, while the celebrities would travel on a budget trip.

So, it was pretty cool and stuff, we had to do a 3 minute video thing. Basically where we talk to the camera. To see if we are photogenic and if we can 'interact' with the camera. To say the truth, we didn't know that we had to do this video thing; we made it up at the last moment. I think we came across as quite bimbotic. Oh well. I hope they chose us.

WE MIGHT BE ON TV!
