Well hello, and this is the second installment of my three New Year's Eve posts, the next one would be on New Year's Day, but let's consider it as New Year's Eve's.

Maxine's tea party was absolutely FABULOUS! :D Would you like a cup of tea? Lol! It was enjoyable when we were enjoying the high end of life, the after retiring years of us in 50 years to come. Haha. Slow paced life, sipping tea, eating waffles, tuning in to French music, telling stories, no singing because our ears are fragile, giggling and not laughing out loud, speaking with an accent and absolutely making singlish sound very weird, etc. Lol! And Maxine got me a pair of flats for Christmas!! :D :D :D *speaks in British accent* Thank you very much darling, it was very nice of you. HAHAHAHA.

So now, everyone is basically preparing for the picnic which we are going to have at the countdown. Lol! We are going to be eating non-stop, chatting, maybe reminiscence about 2007. And am I not surprised if we start talking about Hawaii. Haha. Well, if you happen to walk pass the bridge seeing people sitting and eating cup noodles, you might want to say hi, for it might be us! Us being Clarissa, Maxine, Weelyn, Eunice, Farah and me, and possibly Weelyn's invisible friend-thing, Maxine's Billy Bob, Nancy and Mary (showing up on behalf of Jo), and Danny Dick! :D

As for now, as we say goodbye to two oh oh seven, you might want to watch one of these videos, just for the fun of it. No, you must! See, I'm so nice to actually give you so many options... Here goes...

Video #1: If you're looking for the Original people who came up with this awesomely wonderful song of all ages, to say goodbye, here goes... They are named "Steam". People have commented for this video, stating that they apparently seem to be lip syncing here, and saying how difficult is it to go NA NA NA NA. Lol!

Video #2: If you're looking for some disco like sound, for some oldie sounding thing, try the Bananarama and their somewhat successful cover...

Video #3: If you do prefer to stay in the current time, and not go back to hear the oldies, you might want to try watching this...it's quite nice actually. Boys a cappella-ing! Includes beatboxing. Lol!

Video #4: If you prefer cheesy moves but good entertainment nonetheless, and girls a cappella-ing, and a certain girl clapping out of beat, then this would do just for you...

Video #5: And the last but not least, for my fellow sadistic and gory friends, those who have a sense of humour, you might want to watch this. HAHA. :D

So here's presenting..."Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" originally by Steam. For covers, people changed it to 'Her'.

The last entry was on 26th Dec, and now that it's 31st Dec, a billion things have taken place. I shall try to summarize all.

27th Dec, Thurs
Oh yes, I amazingly woke up with a simple call from Eunice, at the unearthly hour of 11am. HC, Eunice and I headed to the gym and had encounters with weirdos. There was a man who was staring at Eunice cause he wanted to use the machine/equipment she was working out with, and Eunice claims he was staring at her. He could have pretty much go work out elsewhere instead of rudely standing there and staring. Weirdo #1. Weirdo #2 is a guy who was forcing himself to do weights sort of thing, the machine thingy. Well, his face was like...those you would have when you constipate? And after he finished his workout, his hands would ache, and he'd like do the bending of hand thingy. Lol! All 3 of us, we were laughing at him. I gave the two a shock when I stood on the weighing scale and it showed 40 kg. Lol! If only.

Headed for Mani and Pedi, oh and claim cab fare from TIMES, which sadly is not in yet, :( and met Weelyn to go get the job.

28th Dec, Friday
It was simply, the preparation of the ABNIA Sweet Sixteen Bash thing. It was pretty enjoyable and we were rather worried they'd kill us. HAHA. Weelyn was smart enough to bring Kieran along and torture us with his playfulness and all. Thank God for Jo for being an awesome big bully to the small bully. LOL! :D Stayed till 11 plus at Jo's house despite having work the next day at 7, and having to get up at 5. :(

29th Dec, Saturday
Just as much as I would wish to say that work was hard core boredom as it was on the first day, I simply can't. Because it was non-stop of calls. Call after call after call. I was on the verge of pulling my hair out, especially when there's 4 phones, 3 people and only 2 computers to check the info from. And with every call that comes in, it usually starts with a long winded complain about how the machine is not user-friendly, and we'd have to apologise continuously for the caller to get the hint that we are just here to assist him/her and provide him/her with the neccessary info. I have repeatedly told stories from work to all my friends, mom and all, that I'm too lazy to repeat them again, unless I'd feel like it. You'd meet all sorts of people in my job. One of my colleague (he's gay) and I, we were sort of made to write an apology letter to a caller for not knowing our work. And the thing is that I didn't even talk to that fella and made him pissed la. I was just unlucky to be the last person to handle him after the other two tried to help him. But heck, cause we don't have his address, how to send him the letter. Big time effer. And it was all due to the lack of computers and the fact that none of us knew the capital of Cambodia. But now I do, it's Phnom Penh. *rolls eyes* And can you believe it, my colleague for that day, she asked me what's US and what's UK, and if there was any difference between it. RIGHT. Ok, and they asked me how come I know so much bout countries, and how was I supposed to answer that question? Like it's obviously general info, and so I just came up with a reason which goes like..."Oh, watch the Amazing Race..." Ok, right. But seriously, the system we're dealing with, is completely dumb. If I were the caller, I'd get pissed as well, so...OH WELL.

Then met up with the rest of the Bandits and one Drama-mama, namely Jo, Clarissa, Weelyn, Maxine and Ethel for the ABNIA party. I don't like ABNIA, why? Firstly, it's the 3 bucks, entry fee to Sentosa *rolls eyes* THEN, it's the stairs up to Costa Sands. And we were lugging their presents, ICE, and all. *ROAR!* HAHA. Well, nonetheless, the party was pretty awesome and they loved their presents! :D I totally loved how Abi took forever to upwrap her present. The amount of time she took to unwrap her present, is definitely not equivalent to the time I took to wrap it. I took about like 5 mins? Quite fast I know. HAHAHA. And Sonia was surprised by the amount of oranges she has seen. HAHA. Happy Sweet Sixteen to both of you by the way! :D

30th Dec, Sunday
I came back and had to do research on every capital of the every country, do my homework in fear of fussy callers. So, with the help of my mom, I spent 45 mins googling every country and all. So I awoke at 5 yet again, and went for work. Guess what. Unlike the day before, there were no calls. And the thing is that the previous shift had no calls as well. So we decided to try to experiment with the system again. And it was totally screwed, we couldn't even get through to ourselves. So, we decided to report and we found out that they've shifted to the old system, so we wouldn't be receiving any calls for the day. So once again, 8 hours of stoning. That I resorted to getting 2 magazines to entertain ourselves. And the only topic we would get ourselves surprisingly interested in would be of the gay colleague I worked with, who wasn't on that shift la. I feel so mean. :/ Well.

So today's New Year's Eve. And I've no reflection of 2007 or reminiscing done, though I would love to but I'm really exhausted. Gonna head over to Maxine's then Countdown. So, I'll be working on New Year's Day, followed by the day after, and the day after would be the training for another job. *rolls eyes* At least, we don't have any homework to complete because our dearest juniors are jet set packed for school. Lol! :D

Happy New Year Everyone! With Every Bit of Love from the Cullums! :D

Hard Core, is exactly how you would describe my first day of work at my new work place.

Hard Core slacking.
Hard Core stoning.
Hard Core chatting (3 hours straight).
Hard Core sleeping.
Hard Core stoning.
Hard Core everything.
Hard Core 'no calls'.
Hard Core earning.

I barely slept for 2 hours because I forced myself to sleep at 1 plus, because Weelyn forced me to as well. And woke up at 5 for work. :/

If you ask me if work is good, I'd tell you, "Not really" because in true fact, to force yourself to stone, is indeed extremely tough. Trust me, I'd rather get paid to force myself to study. Anyway, being paid to stone and slack is rather rare. If only they did so when I was studying for my Os. I'll be a hard core millionaire.

The ACS Concert was quite good. Much better than the other at VCH. Haha. :D But I didn't see... *censored* :( And, I kind of fell asleep, because they kept repeating Christmas carols.

This week is gonna be damn hard core. I learnt the term 'hard core' from a hard corer who is working with me. Lol. Tmr will be hard core revitalization.

Oh yes, Happy Boxing Day everyone, especially Weelyn!




Alright, so it's confirm. I'm migrating.
This Christmas is probably the last one I'm spending here.
I'll be away to somewhere which apparently many people have migrated to as well.
I hope I can adapt.
I will definitely miss every little thing here, every detail, every memory.
Let's just hope for the best.

The Greatest Day of my life, is definitely 29th October. Or 25th December. When Christ was born.

NEVER ever ever will it be, 24th December. Because it's quite a tragic day, for Eve was born. HAHAHAHAHA.

MRS AUDREY CULLUM

Great with a CAPITAL G.

I just heard an advertisement on the radio.

It's the one where the woman goes on and on about how she misses O levels. How she enjoyed herself after Os, going to the movies, etc. So, I start to think it's probably about how she enjoyed herself too much, she didn't know where to go after her results. So, they're probably trying to advertise an open house for some institute, maybe. She goes on about how she wished she could go back to her Secondary school days...

"Ever wished you could go back to Secondary school? Now you can!..." somewhere along those lines. And the next line had the word teacher in it. It was like..."Be a teacher in a Secondary school!"

PROPAGANDA ALERT!

The whole advertisement was about being a teacher, teaching O level subjects, like Music, Art, etc. apparently. What a good way to capture attention. And to think I actually listened to it.

*I do believe in retribution. I kind of think, that I'll probably end up being a teacher.*

I'm kind of still struggling with the cards, but at least I'm done with the presents for close friends. That's because I spent a day by myself shopping, walking from one mall/place to another (e.g. Bras Basah to Raffles City to The Central then to Marina) to hunt down for what I wanted. So, I truly apologise if your gift from the Cullums arrives later than expected. I didn't know the Cullums had THIS many associates. Lol!

So, Merry Christmas to All! :D Hope you're having a good one.

With Love, the Cullums! :)

I cannot, believe at all at how I screamed "I Love New York" after Eve screamed "WATAH!" at Bugis' Water Fountain, in front of a million people. Too spastic! I spent the evening/night with Eve teasing me about my duper small eyes, and then she took really unglam peeks of me, and got piggy-backed in public at Bugis Junction, and got sprayed by water at the Water Fountain, by some kid. I told you I don't go well with children. But in all, it was good fun, with Weelyn and Jo laughing at everything and Weelyn going TSK the whole entire time.

I realise, when I'm out with Eve, I get dared a million gazillion times.
1st dare: We saw this couple, man had hand round the woman's waist, woman had hand on man's ass. Eve dared me to go to them (I forgot who) and say "I think you should shout molest." or say out loud "Eh, stop arousing each other la!" Lol!
2nd dare: Let her piggy back me all the way through Bugis Junction, from Sketches to Macs. Nooo way! HAHA.
3rd dare: The Water Fountain "WATAH I LOVE NEW YORK" dare.

Go to Eve's blog for the peeks and for the funny incident involving the two bangalas we met on the street.

The concert was good, though the people who turned up weren't that many.

I did mention that I wanted to juggle two jobs. The first job place called me up in the afternoon and I accepted the job. Got home, slept for an hour, and the second job place called me up, (at night) and I had to reluctantly reject the second job. My mom didn't allow and Weelyn said I shouldn't go for it because of the pathetic pay. But I wanted the experience, and it'd be such an enjoyable environment to work in, but I had to turn it down, and it totally sucks.

Got a call from our dearest friend, Anne in the Philipines, and the greeting was something like...
Me: Hello...?
Anne: Hello!
Me: Who's this?
Anne: Anne...
Me: And you're in the Philipines...
Anne: Yeah.
Me: So, am I paying for this?!
LOL! So...unwelcoming. HAHA. Well, we talked for 18 mins before she had to go and I asked "Where to..." and made her think I thought literally. But no, I didn't! She asked bout the N level results which I had absolutely NO clue about, and she told me about Jamie Lynn Spears being pregnant, I told her bout Hady winning Asian Idol and how Jodie Foster is a lesbian, and somehow, we ended up talking about Os and the results. :/

I'm currently stressing over what to wear for the training this friday, and Maxine and I have decided that I shall help her find a job and she'll help me with my clothes, because my mom insists I go get some formal clothes for my job. :( Wasting money to go work, makes absolutely no sense at all!

Sorry to interrupt, but I can't see the stupid cursor on this space I'm typing. Sucks man! :(

I shall blog about my birthday, possibly tmr. Let's hope so. So for now, have yourself a good public holiday! :D

I got the job!
I got the job!
I got the job!
I got the job!
I got the job!
So did Weelyn!
So did Weelyn!
So did Weelyn!
So did Weelyn!
So did Weelyn!
:D

It was a less-than-a-minute interview, and there were approximately 50 people vying for 18 positions. People were all dressed up pretty formally. Why? Because the woman said "No jeans, no round neck tees, etc." It's like, "So formal for what?! For a less than a minute interview? RIGHT." I prayed damn hard during the day, because I desperately wanted this job! And I got it, and so did Weelyn! Because our dear friend, was telling me she might not get it, but she did! I'm just hoping the people we're gonna work with will be nice. :D

Met Farah, Clarissa and Eunice to go get another job, a 2-day one. It's rather pathetic, but you could do with a little more cash! :D Before I can even start on that PROPER job, I've started spending. :/ We've walked a million miles in total, that my heels are really painful, and I was merely wearing flats. Goodness. Yes, I do admit that I spent quite a lot. But they were all bargain goods! :D I think I've pretty much improved on my shopping. Thanks to Farah, and somewhat of Weelyn for making me discover the "beauty" of Bugis Street. It IS rather gross, hot, sticky, etc, but it has the cheapest shit ever. I bought 4 shirts for 40 bucks, each 10 bucks. And the thing is, with that 40 bucks, I USED to be able to only get one shirt, one Paul Frank tee. HA! See the dff. And plus, the 4 shirts I got, are pretty much those stonewashed ones. So, even better!

I must thank Weelyn for being such a kind friend. First, she called me somewhat non-stop in the morning to make sure I was awake, and not late for the interview, and I didn't even tell her to call. Then, she risked getting shouted at by my brother, by calling my house phone. And woke Clarissa up to get my mom's number, so she could call my mom for help. But, when she called Clarissa, I called her back. And Clarissa was pretty pissed, because she was still asleep. Lol! Then, she braved the heat of Bugis Street, and help on to my bag which weighs a ton, and other shopping stuff, and waited pretty patiently, in her long sleeved black shirt. Wa, seriously, she's too nice to be true. Quite hard to believe. Lol!

So here comes the weirdest analogy I've pretty much come across. It's about me and my clothes. Here goes...

When I bring home a pair of Levi's and show it to my mom, she won't ask much, but only for the price, which would be over a 150 or so. Other than the price, she wouldn't say anything else. BUT. When I tell her I bought a pair of skinnies from Bugis Street for 35 bucks (but I don't use the term 'skinnies' for she knows not what skinnies are), she scolds me, and asks me why didn't I buy my jeans like from Giordano (which I pretty much dislike).

...Seriously, did that make any sense to you, because it sure didn't make any to me. If I get something expensive, she keeps silent, but when I get something cheap, she scolds me. Oh my.

I went for Confession yesterday, and I've been trying to be nice, to not sin, to not say vulgarities, and to not be racist. Farah, see, I'm still quite successful eh, I've yet to say THAT word. HA! :D

Congrats to Eunice and Farah on their last day of work!

Today has been one good day for me, except the discovery of the weirdest analogy and I hope the N level results were good, because it'd be our turn soon. :/

MRS AUDREY CULLUM
8:16 PM




HAHA!

New word Eve came up with today...USHER-ER. HA. HA. HAHAHAHAH! She's so far-neh.

If you think putting Eve and a whole bunch of us Bandits would be rather weird, it wasn't too bad. Because just as I expected, there'd only be two common things between Eve and the rest.
1 Band
2 Suaning me, me and Weelyn.

The concert was rather, oh-kay. Weelyn stated if that amount of people turned up for our concert, she'd cry. That's pretty much how bad it was. Hmmm, like 7 JCs didn't take part? Well.

Yesterday was "go hunt down the places we called up" for jobs. I'm hoping I get 2 jobs, so I can juggle both and get the fuck shit money out of both. But I'm rather doubting my ability of getting both. Oh well. Er yeah, we did get down to the Central, and I did mention it was lame and boring, but we had no choice. Weelyn then had a brilliant idea of taking the shuttle bus, ok, I did ask her to get on the bus, BUT, the thing is it took 38 mins for us to get from the Central to City Hall, because we 'toured' around Orchard Road in the bus. Even walking to City Hall from Clarke Quay would be much duper faster. So, as we had that rather quick tour in Orchard, we began to awe at all the houses in town. Yes, I'm gonna grow up and own one of those type of houses. And we were thinking about life, and Weelyn told me a chinese saying (which I obviously didn't understand) but it was about how extreme lives can get. Imagine. Singapore is so fucking small, yet the high end is extremely different from the low end. Imagine us, people who live in HDBs, are in awe when we look at the houses in Orchard, but do those living in Orchard get amaze at the 'simplicity' or should I say, the togetherness of HDBs? I doubt so. This is as to how different lives can get. But I still chose to believe each end are to only a certain advantage.

If I stay in Orchard, I will definitely be bored to my wits, at a certain point of time, and how often do these high enders get to enjoy hawker centre food and the buzz of the crowd (excluding those of shopping malls)? If I stay in a HDB, and lead a simple life, how often would I get to enjoy having parties, like real parties, because we're so darn restricted in a HDB flat? Or, how often would I get to fly overseas and enjoy my entire life in the materialistic world. Who knows, (I did read in the papers once before), that a hawker can be a millionaire or something... Seriously, that'd be the best situation to be in. You'd get the best of both worlds. Back to reality, we were made who we are, for a simple reason which we might not know now, but we will eventually know as life proceeds. You see, this is what happens when you get long bus rides.

Class gathering yesterday was pathetic but it was still good company. I would say I prefer Blk 85 compared to ECP's hawker centre. If I'm smart, I wouldn't open a satay stall there. How Abi, Dode and Jessie got bombarded by Satay stalls before they even got a seat was hilarious, and their solution, was even more intelligent. 10 sticks from each stall. Total, 3 stalls, 30 satays. Everyone was laughing at how I got a tiny coconut compared to others' HUGE ones for the same price. So Dode kindly got me another coconut, when I wanted sugar cane juice, and I forced myself to finish the entire thing, and had to suffer by holding my bladder, while the others played Truth or Dare by the beach. Oh and 'Would You Rather...' Most 'Would You Rather' were compared to Dode. There was one like "Would you rather get stuck in the desert with Audrey or Weelyn?" (I think it was Weelyn), and Maxine and Clarissa said Audrey, not till I started randomly throwing sand and shouted "Eh! Sand Storm!" and Maxine immediately changed her mind. HAHA! We were planning on attempting to have another gathering, but Abi keeps emphasizing that only she and Jessie would turn up. How can that be, when the Bandits makes up about 1/4 of the class? HA! :D

So, today, I actually did speed shopping with my mom. And for the first time, I did not lose my temper. I usually lose my temper when I'm out with my mom, I don't know why. But that's always the case, and so, I managed to successfully walk into m)phosis and come out with a bag! :D In less than 15 mins. Power. I've yet to go get a huge bag (possibly vintage looking) and a new hoodie. Because I seriously hate the whole "Love at First Sight" thing when you go shopping and don't buy a bag. Seriously seriously hate it!

Joke of the Century: I dreamt that Indian Idol won Asian Idol, but...I found out Hady won. Seriously...WOW.

Gonna send JiaNing off in the morning, followed by Skinnies/Shorties shopping in Bugis, and then Gay Brothers Gathering (Kieran and Ervin, and impossibly Adrian, LOL!) at Weelyn's.

Guess what! I'm one-hundred-and-fifty-bucks RICHER! :D Shiok ah. All the money, apparently seems to come in only after Christmas. That's the sad part.

MRS AUDREY CULLUM

Honestly Fuck.
How do I leave without missing a thing or anyone.
I think it's for real. I don't wanna go.
When I'm enjoying every moment spent, I am forced to let go.
Fuckshit. Fuckadoo.
Will you miss me...

MRS AUDREY CULLUM
1:21 AM




Too Busy to be true, with so many darn things taking place, life has been too awesome. But I do get to still stone in bus rides, and to be honest, I hate stoning. Because, when you stone, you think of many things, and when you think of things/life, I would usually think of...

Ok, so moving on. What have I been up to...

Ethel's Superbly PINK Sweet Sixteen cum Slumber Party
It was incredibly Pink I have to admit, and I cannot agree any much further with Weelyn's post. It pretty much summarises up everything. I am very sure I had one hell of an awesome time. Made a total fool out of ourselves, and yet enjoyed every single minute to the fullest. Ethel, hoped you had a blast, and love our present, oh yes, and me as well, as your present! HAHA. And thanks a million for the fabulous time spent. The slumber party was totally very slumberish. Maxine did my nails, which we played Pictionary, and that was when Weelyn asked me if Goofy is a name or an animal. For those who have their IQ to be of her standard, Goofy is a dog. Pranked call our dearest beloved Cindy to wish her Happy Birthday and she was rather surprised I suppose. And watched only 2 movies out of the million we picked out, that'd be HOMERUN (I wonder why...), and Bend It Like Beckham. Oh goodness. And both movies were quite long. HA. I was duper tired. It's the first sleepover, we all slept like at the same time or sort of. I think Ethel's brother is adorable! He willingly took a picture with me. I bet I had that natural charm la. HAHAHA. :D

Cindy's Birthday Celebration
Went to Bugis with Weelyn after Ethel's Party to go celebrate Cindy's Birthday at Billy Bombers. I was paying for her BARNEY balloon when she kind of caught us red handed, total shibai. :/ Our birthday surprises are seriously getting from bad to worse. Then, the brownie from Billy Bombers which was also supposed to be a surprise, totally failed as well. Piang. But, Cindy I hoped you enjoyed the dinner! :D

Both were filled with too much laughter that I think I've increased my life expectancy by twice it had been. HA.

So Friday, Weelyn and I were planning on going job hunting, sort of. We were supposed to meet at 1230, but we ended up meeting at 2 plus, or is it 3? Oh. Wait. It's 330pm. Lol! I foolishly bought myself a LARGE, mega humongous Caramel Hot Choc from SB, and I had to force myself to not waste money while we called up a gazillion places, and cracked our brains to decide which job offers to take. I have to say, it actually can be quite fun. :) Proceeded on to Clarissa's house for Christmas dinner, which was YUM! and watched my bangala friend perform in Asian Idol, and then joined in with the Christmas Carolling! Oh, how Christmassy! :D I totally loveee the quality time spent with such company, especially when we sit down together, put junk into our mouth and watch teeeveeee!

We were using the computer halfway, and we were all REED-ing someone's blog when...I realised, that I was reading very slooooowly, as compared to the others. And I was pretty much wondering why I was reading THAT slowly. So, when I got hold of the mouse, I kind of starting highlighting all the words and started reading at a much faster pace. And that was when I realised...that...I have this really bad habit of highlighting, constantly highlighting, constantly playing with the words and highlighting them when I read. It's pretty irritating when you seeme do that, as Eunice claimed. I don't know how to correct this. :/

While the rest were doing manicure and all, Cindy, Jo and I were playing a fool looking at gay and lesbian websites, (not literally), and we were experimenting with the Love Calculator shit. Oh my, I think we're so deprived. We were being so duper amused, when we entered a couple's name and it appeared as 99% compatible, we couldn't stop laughing.

All in all, I really enjoyed myself with all the friends I've wisely chose to spend my time with, and all the fun and laughter gone into all the activities done, I must say that I think life has been quite productive. :)






I kind of heard plans, that I might be migrating...

MRS AUDREY CULLUM
1:55 AM




When I find out that something is in limited stock, I tend to want that thing pretty badly, and out of desperation, I'd usually get it. That happens when my brain is too filled with wanting to stand out. Let's see. I have two pairs of converse which are limited edition, and yet I don't wear them as often as I wear my other pairs. I think I've answered how many pairs of Converse I have. I have no Conversations though, Farah. Yes.

Walked into Levi's at The Heerans, hoping to have some pair of jeans catch my attention, but guess which pair did. The ones I were wearing. Seriously. The ones which has the my pretty name on it! :D It's the whole "Oh, this looks nice. *checks price* *Looks inside.* Oh. I have this." HAHA. Sometimes, I feel a fool like Weelyn. Lol! Just kidding. Nah, but this really awesome looking jacket caught my eyes. It has a fabulous design on the back, and it's turqoise in colour. Guess what's the best part! The price is marked down from a 100 to 79! :D:D:D:D:D! But, it's either in S or M. I never wear tight jackets. They don't look cool. So I asked for a larger size, but NOOOOOOO, it's apparently Limited Edition, so I have no chance of getting that. I walked out, feeling rather frustrated. Very. I was so desperate that I almost wanted to get an M, just for the sake of getting it.

Section Outing yesterday was funness! I'm definitely gonna miss JiaNing, and her quirky-ness, her craziness and not forgetting, her foolishnesss! She totally made a fool out of herself, and us, at points when she'd go laughing soooo darn loudly. She was the one who accompanied me to learn how to skate, cause she didn't know how to. She helped me bombard KT's cam with a gazillion unglam shots of me, me, and the section. HAHA. She just kept snapping away.

So, who's brilliant idea was it to go Ice Skating huh?! Cindy and Josephine, and apparently Sandra who didn't turn up!! Cindy and Jo, volunteered to teach me, er, yes, they did, not till I slammed both into outer space, then did they fear the Almighty Audrey. I'm truly sorry. HA. But I didn't suggest this idea. I have made the conclusion, that I can't skate for nuts, because I have one spastic leg, apparently the left one. I bring everyone who's holding my hand, down, to the ground. And, it's better if I just go for proper lessons to skate first. Lol! Because, I now have 3 fucking blisters, and 1 blue black on my kneee. There's probably one on my bum but I've not noticed.

Dinner at Marche was aawesoommmeee!!! :D Cindy made her specialty sauce, and tried it. *Ew.* And, we cam-whored like nobody's business. We were laughing at every small little thing. Let's take for example, when KT mentioned that Elena's eyes were small in a pretty pervertic tone, when Elena goes HUH reeally loudly when she doesn't hear what we say, how KT's voice can be so damn high, so we started imitating her and how she goes "Come, *so and so*, I take picture with you." Oh my. She really hasn't changed.

Time spent with my dearest section, can never ever go wrong. It can only be fun, very fun, or extremely fun. :D

Finally gotten all the Christmas cards going, and with messages being sent out, asking for addresses, all replies were filled with "Audrey, you're so funny.", or along those lines. Yes, I always am. HAHA.

I feel damn hopeless without a job now. Seriously. I'm desperate but not so desperate, because if I'm damn fucking desperate, I'd be doing telemarketing now, which is a fuck NO. :)

This week has passed by as fast as how Eunice changes her targets. :/ I can't even remember the many things which took place but I'll try.

So, my work finally ended on Thurs. Yes, I was working at Times. It was rather repetitive, and I figured that if I do not get Starbucks before work, I save a lot. So, I changed from Starbucks to orange juice and that made a big difference, because my house is apparently stocked up with a whole lot of bottles of orange juice. After working with 1064 ++ books, yes I counted, (to be exact, taking off their tags and retagging them), I'm pretty sick of books now. First day, we had to do the management and business section, and it's like, wtf. It's quite interesting to see how people actually do write stupid books. There were books on how to destroy your life, and there's actually a book on how Starbucks saved a life. Like, oh-kay. Last day, was finally fiction. So I did my work really slowly because if we finished early, we only get paid the hours we work. So, strategy was to read the back of the book while peeling off the tag, and sure did I find a few new books to target for. Oh yes, there was once we just had to arrange the books. I went to the sex section, while Weelyn and HC went to the pregnancy section. I didn't know that such books existed. There was one on like 365 days of sex. That person must then be a marathon runner, extremely power-ed stamina. HAHA.

So on thursday, Cindy, Weelyn and I went out instead of going home to rest before our work, because I was afraid if I went home to sleep, I wouldn't wake up, and Weelyn's apparently too lazy. Went to wherever, then went shopping, sort of. We tormented Cindy by going to Flash n Splash and letting her sit there, holding our bags and letting her people watch, given the fact that the people there were extremely weird. China people, Japanese tourists, Angmoh mad cow (seriously), and etc. Then HC told me it was free Starbucks day, so obviously we dashed towards SB. I still remember last year when it was the Free Starbucks Day, before that I was persuading the whole gang to follow me to Kino to get a mag with was it FOB or Jamie on it, and no one wanted to go, moreover giving all sorts of reasons, saying want to go home early whatever. And just as we were at the junction, we heard "Free Starbucks Drink" and everyone went there immediately. So tsking la. The outlet, at Orchard Park Hotel I think, was duper noisy, and Weelyn and I were hoping to catch some sleep, but obviously I couldn't. Weelyn did so, though. Cindy and I wanted to kill her tamagochi, but fortunately, it died of a natural death yesterday. Is it considered natural, cause Weelyn left it to starve? Hmmm. Had dinner at Pepper Lunch, and...guess who we saw! We saw...WenLong, aka, Robbie (or however it's spelt)! Lol! Oh man. Cindy noticed, and then it was hilarious. Oh wait. Before that, all 3 of us were walking along the streets of Orchard Road, and then...guess what happened! I was as usual, talking about the lightings and all, how we can take a picture blah blah blah, etc, and then Weelyn went "Hi!" and then I looked up, and I saw....SONA CHEW! EWWWWWW! HAHA. My first reaction was "Oh my God!" And then I hid behind Weelyn, and Sonia went "AUDREY!!!" and she attacked me just like any Transformer would have. It was baaaaadddd. Then I was like hiding. Then she stopped, and gave Weelyn then me a hug, and then...SHE ATTACKED ME AGAIN! This time, it was my hair. She totally tried to pull my hair, in the direction of how you would give someone a wedgie. Seriously. I had no idea what she was doing, and it was rather dark, I was too traumatised. HAHA. It was..."trauma to the extreme". :/

So, we had to meet up at CCPS before the performance and guess who was duper early, alongside with the Simeians? MRS CULLUM! Ah yes, and Farah was saying that when I'm early, everyone else is late, cause Weelyn, Eunice and Cindy were late. Best part is Eunice stays beside CCPS. Its just like how I stay near school and I'm always late. HA. Everyone was so predicting that I'll be late. HA.

The first performance in ages, yesterday, by the AB, was rather, a failure but we sounded not too bad, since we only had 3 pathetic practices. I hate nature performances. We only serve as background music. Seriously. There weren't even many people at that stupid tech-park or whatever shit. Sim would definitely make that her third home, I'm sure, placing after the roti prata shop as her second home, since her husband's indian. Anyway, the bus rides were hilarious. Games Galore. Especially the Where's the Peanut Game. I didn't know that our juniors were so, gu-dong, so deprived. Until now, they've yet to show us their 'down there'. Lol! Some comebacks were too awesome, that I almost choked on my food. It was funny how everyone was complaining that they were hungry, and then when we went up the bus, I told them, "Oh yeah, I have food in my bag!" They were all like TSK, now then say. And so, everyone was feasting on like one puff. So, beggar like. Haha.

Half the time, I was fooling around with the Djembe, and I started singing. We actually wanted to busk. Then Jo and Weelyn were like "Eh play a beat, then we like clap." They think I power like Mr Juraimi ah. WTH. So, I ended up singing, singing the Benny Lava and the thoompachaleh song, which the Indian Dance always uses. Then, we had this idea that whenever anyone passes by, I hit the Djembe duper loud, give them a shock. Target: Old Folks. Eunice la, so mean, encourage me somemore. HAHAHA. It was fucking hilarious. There was this old lady on the wheel chair, then they say, if I hit very loudly, later she get a shock, then she jump up, then she can walk already. Like, wtf. This is what happens when we get wet, and we become so brain dead.

Farah was being duper lame. We all realised that everyone (almost everyone) in band was wearing Converse, then they said something bout Jennifer's being fake Converse, and Farah said it was Converse-ation, as in Conversation. Like WTF, Farah. Then, the Djembe's skin was peeling and then she said, "Haiya so expensive, moisturizer only cost a few dollars, don't even want to put, obviously skin peel la!" OH MY GOODNESS. And the best part is she laughed hysterically while Eunice and I gave her the sweat drop look.

Then, had section outing, which was duper shibai, with only 4 people turning up, 1 pangsehed us, and then another came. HAHA. It was nonetheless, good company. We spent don't know how long sitting at the bus stop thinking of where to go, and everyone didn't wanna watch a movie cause it was a Friday, and so, I suggested going to Central, which was so...duperly boring. So much for being a 24 hours shopping centre. The place was like mostly made up of shops-in-the-making. And so, we spent half our time, watching kids trying to learn how to ice skate, and there was this girl who was trying to act pro, and Cindy found her so irritating she was cursing her to fall. If only Weelyn was there to make her fall. HAHA. And, so, I actually took a 7 minute video hoping to catch her falling, and she did. Cindy laughed duper loudly, that I was afraid later the mother come, and whack her la. So, Cindy, Sandra and Josephine, had this brilliant idea of having the next section outing to be Ice Skating. Then I gave Cindy the NOOOO! look, and she was like "But it's the same as roller blading what, OH!, I forgot somebody don't know how to roller blade." So, they're apparently gonna teach me, and I'm gonna look like a fool. :(

I was supposed to meet HC to go watch the Violin Competition this morning, but, guessed who overslept. And I sort of pangsehed her. I feel so mean. :/ I slept for....16 hours. HAHA. It was definitely a duper good rest. Haha.

1 more sleepover to come this week. Jenni's leaving for Germ-Land tmr, and Anne's leaving on 13th for Philipines. I'm leaving for Sentosa on 29th. HAHA. Power. Don't worry, I'll bring back sand for everyone!

Guess what I've been down to these past few days...

Sleeping 2 hours per day.

Thing is, I'm still alive and kicking. Won't die. HAHA. :)


Random Thought (result of too little sleep and still having to work)
"If a book is a No.1 Top Seller, and there are a million others out there stating the same, then who's the real No.1 Top Seller? Wouldn't that make everyone of the same standard, No.1?"

Sleepover at Clarissa's was goooooood! :D If I ever go upload my peektures, which I realised I have not ever since donkey years, then I'll post it up.

We were supposed to meet at 11, but yours truly woke up at...2? Moreover, I was woken up by a call from the rest, and then I went back to sleep even though I was supposed to go meet them. Then, next alarm was at 4, when they called again, and I then took half an hour to stone before I got bathing. Funny. I became the sucker to go get instant noodles for them, and looked like some useless idiot who was stocking up for war. They all got pretty excited during American Pie Band Camp, and were like "OH! Audrey! Come watch! I'm sure you love this part!" which was, obviously the making out part. Oh goodness. I'm a changed person, YEAH RIGHT. To be honest, I don't like that movie. It's so...fake. HA. But if you're really bored, then no choice. Lol. I was rather reluctant to go for the sleepover when Eunice told me they rented The Ring, The Eye, Scary Movie 4, etc. (basically all the horror movies), and to think I took her for real. In total, they actually watched a whole lot of movies, like 7 or 8. I only got to watch like 2 whole movies? HAHA. Oh, they were watching The Others, and it was pretty hilarious. Not till the stupid girl in the movie screamed and I screamed and everyone screamed. And the thing is, we didn't quite know what exactly happened. Eunice and HC's hands were victim of my hand's squeeze. HAHA. So fucking tight, but I don't care, who ask them to watch horror in the wee hours of the morning.

Dinner was quite funny cause we decided to play "throw grapes into each other's mouth". So, I said "Clarissa your teeth is like 3/4 of your mouth when it's open. I can barely see the hole to your mouth." So when I threw, it literally and actually bounced off her teeth. Fucking hilarious. Then we played the number game, forfeit was to eat a 3 pieces of vegetables from the salad, one grape, and one cherry tomato with thousand island, all together. Only Jennifer did the forfeit. HAHA. Then, we had night walk through this really dark dark place, to send Maxine for her ballet, was really, spastic with us singing to kill our nightmarish images, and also, for the fun of it. Upon reaching the bus stop, we started singing like nobody's business, and it was then when we formed an all new acapella group called "The Bus Stop Band". Wa, fucking hilarious. The couple, aka, Eunice and Clarissa tried to scare me, but due to their failed attempt to keep it a secret I clung on to Jennifer, and in the end both of us became victims. And, thing is, I didn't have a huge reaction, so it kind of failed. But when the two idiots grabbed onto Jenni and my legs, Jenni jumped so fucking high that I had to jump with her. HAHAHA. It was damn hysterical.

I was obviously the last one to turn in, and HC added that "To sleep when Audrey's awake is dangerous cause who knows what she can do..." Fishy fishy. HAHA. Yeah, pretty true. Only had two hours of sleep, and had tomyum instant noodles along side with Jolly shandy for breakfast, and was famn prepared to vomit during band practice in fact. Upon reaching CCPS, I started my infamous story telling, a story from CLEO, and then I bet everyone started getting so fucking horny la. Jennifer's always the victim to our bullying and sick thoughts. Poor child. Band practice was hilarious/spastic as it was the last time. HAHA. Quite enjoyable la. Cause we were all being wild for the first time, when other band practices is like silence. HAHA.

After band practice, everyone was apparently so excited about shaker fries, treating it like some divine thing, and so we proceeded on to Macs at PayaLebar. I stoned at them eat, cause my brain juices were dying, not till we started reminiscing (sp?) about Hawaii, again. HAHA. So I dropped dead at home, when I was supposed to meet HC for dinner, but didn't. Best. HA.

Everyone's falling sick now. The scariest one is when Maxine was still alive and kicking yesterday yesterday but she got like 1 week MC from the docs yesterday. Scary. So please, do take care, people. Wa, I sound so caring. Oh whatever la huh.

Tis the season to be jolly, farah rah rah rah rah rahh rah rah! :D
Then, soon, all MSN nics will be "All I want for Christmas is You." Soo duper cheesy. Ew. HA.

I'm quite irritated that P.S. I Love You is not gonna be my christmas catch. :( Cause, it's apparently coming out next year! BOO! And so, it seems that Weelyn and Clarissa wanna catch that Chipmunk Movie thingy, which I hope I do not get pulled along to. HAHA.

So long, everybody! :)

Rant Alert!


I simply cannot tolerate those who do things really stoooopidly. Stupid is a mean word, whatever. Maybe I should just throw my phone away. Seriously. Anyway, Tom Cruise survives without a phone. Ok, I'm not Tom Cruise, let alone a man. Anyway, the point is, what would happen if I didn't have a phone.


This whole issue I'm ranting about boils down to me having bills which has a cost so high, I can't even see, cause I'm too short. Yes, Eve, I'm admitting I'm too short. HA. Anyway, I simply simply hate hate hate, ultra, duper, hate (hate might be a word too strong but I don't care), hate it when, a person replies with either one question, then after you answer, another question.


Example:
Anonymous: What time is the event?
Me: Er, 6.
Anonymous: Where is it?
Me: In school.



Sounds quite unbeliveable that someone would actually do that. But I've faced it a gazillion times, and so I waste my messages which can be so costly when you have the pass an important message to a certain number of people. Has it never occurred to a person that he/she could put it this way..."What time and where is the event?" Like, damnit.


Then, there are the others who send the message which simply says..."Ok." OH-KAY. Confession, I used to be like that. Until I got told I didn't need to reply, then I stopped doing that. So as to raise awareness, please, for the sake of others, do not reply an "Ok." unless the person requires a reply (it's pretty much common sense).


So, the whole point of having a phone is to communicate, and at certain times bitch/gossip. But, it was mainly made to communicate, to pass information. Anyway, the point I'm trying to get through here is how the phone has been one of the most important tool during the period of great doubt, and great stress, aka, Os.

Here's a list of the various way messages can turn out into:

1 'Teach through sms' messages
Weelyn: -18SURD3. It can apply either to surd2 OR surd3. Do you know how to do not?
Weelyn: Oh. You equate the eqn of the curve to 0. Find the basic angle. Take the smallest positive value.

2 'I'm so excited because I've got plans' messages
Anne: Nah, I've got bio tuition after history and than e math tuition after bio tuition. Such is life for now! But the following friday, i wouldn't have anything at all. And we can talk about joy luck club!

3 'Going nuts from studying' messages
Anne: I was listening to madagascar song on my pod, and i was like, what if our scripts end up there?! HAHAH.
Sonia: YO. Eat a maths, don't let it eat you! Aha ha. Ha.
Eunice: ...Poor child. All the best for your bio. Think of sex. Haha.

4 Self Consolation messages
Anne: You should be sleeping now, and so should i, but! Audrey Ace Amath! Alliteration! See, you'd do well!
Eve: hey yo fellow one head shorter than the mace dee em. :) all the way for amath, cos amath is for us to ACE it, adds truckloads of oil.
Eunice: ...Bloody hell. I got headache. Stop thinking of today's paper! Think that you will do your best and get an A1 for tmr's paper!
Eve: ...anyhw, this week's gna be tough.. so hang in there & add palm oil while i add sunflower oil yep :) <3 + pulmonary artery/ventricle/aorta..
Eve: I'LL ACE IT & RUB MY CERT INTO HER FACE :D cos thts hw i psycho myself for chem.. though i never got the A :/ but it helps la :)

5 Spotting messages
Anne: I think, tomorrow's either or question will be kinematics or coordinate geometry. Or something on differentiation.
Eve: weelyn's dng conflict & cooperation, forgoing venice, anyhw, have you started on bio? WE MUST ACE OUR SS. after spendg so much effort talking to weelyn :)
Jo: Hey guys, you're LITTERS, NOT QUITTERS! So PRESS ON for tmr! Hang on. The geogers will be rooting for you. Haha.

6 'Paranoid-because-there's-so-little-time-left' messages
Anne: But at 6, we'd probably by hungry. Then we'll eat. By the time we settle down 645. 645 to 730 study what?!

7 Chain messages
Chandni: This is just for fun. Haha. This is a good luck chain.send this to ten of your friends to get >80 for all your exams if not you will be cursed.DO NOT SEND BACK.try it since its for Os!

You can obviously see how bored I am that I saved all these messages and decided to blog about them. It's funny how the number of self consolation messages are the highest. There are a million other funny ones, but the most hilarious yet lame one, is...

Eunice: OMG! GUESS WHO I SAW JUST NOW!! AND WHERE! Ah!
So, I replied something like "Who?" and I started guessing every single person I think she'd freak over, I can't say it here though. And so, she was like nooo, guess again. I got irritated so I called her. And then I just went randomly, "What. You saw yourself in the mirror?! HAHA" And I was actually kidding. BUT, she was serious. So, for that 10 mins or so, she took my time off Social Studies and Bio and made me actively involved in her GUESS WHO I SAW game.

I'm rather glad I've gotten rid of all my books, after having long sessions of packing my room. I took 3 days. HAHA. That's pretty long I must say. But I only did so, when I couldn't sleep. HA. :D

Sleepover at Clarissa's tmr! This week, is gonna be very hectic! And I can't wait for (hopefully) good news on Friday. Weelyn knows what I'm talking bout. Pray hard. :)

It's the first day of December! 24 days to Christmas! 30 days to the end of 2007! :D

Er. Yes. I'm supposed to blog. I'm thinking of what to blog. Give me a minute.

Thursday, outing with Weelyn and Jessie was totally, way way, hilarious. Did I ever mention that Weelyn is like totally a living joke, a thing which provides us with comic relief. Oh goodness. I thank God for a thing like her. HAHAHA. After the movie, which I would say, was pretty...enchanting, we were making our way down, and then the next escalator down was at the other end of the mall. So Weelyn asked where it was, I said "The other side." Then, she walked first while Jessie and I were behind her. Then she turned, and walked towards the escalator going up. And so Jessie and I observed our dear friend try to make her way down by going in the direction of the up escalator. I'm not sure if my descriptive skills are good enough for you to imagine, but yeah, you just have to know that it was pretty hilarious. No, not pretty, but fucking hilarious. It's so hilarious that Jessie woke up the next day and the first thing she thought bout was that incident. Another hilarious thing did occur with Jessie. Just refer to Weelyn's blog. I'm lazy to type the whole thing. HA. After walking round The Cathay like nobody's business, I find it extremely boring. This excludes Gramophone. HA. :D I didn't know going out with Jessie and Weelyn can be THIS hilarious. Weird combination. Oh yes, I have to mention. Going out with one part of the Jock, can be bad cause you'll have to expect suanings from THAT jock for being a Bandit. So, we saw Bandits from ACJC and we said oh, band people are everywhere. Jessie said "Yeah, they go to such boring places like here." Then we were thinking of how to fight back. We were saying, Oh yeah, and Basketballers go to places like Eastpoint, Tampines Mall, nooooo, BEDOK INTERCHANGE! Then Jessie started proclaiming how Bedok Inter, is soooo interesting. :/ RIGHT. HAHA.

Yesterday has been one, really, really, worrying day. Worried about situations, and the future. Er, sort of, round that line. Got down to settling issues concerning work. And HC and I decided to proceed to Starbucks to take turns to sleep. But we didn't. Ended up reading, and reading. Turned up early for work, because I deduced that the guy, KeHan, is earning more than us, cause he's always early for work and yet ends the same time as us. Then when we got up, he was like late. Not really, but later than us. Yesterday, I seriously worked sooo duper uber slow that I could have fallen asleep. Thank Goodness for Weelyn, and her nonsensical talking. Oh yes, she got a friggin tamagochi. What the hell. She was like telling me every single thing bout what that idiot is doing. I wanted to bet with her when that shit will die, but she doesn't want to. :( Oh yeah, and yesterday was so boring because working slow is so...slow, and Muttons weren't there! So, what we do, is like just singalong to songs, and do work really slowly, and talk, and play a fool cause we were too bored. I'm not sure if I can still work next week, though I hope I still can. I don't know why, but it can be fun, anyway, even if I stay home, I've got nothing to do. But I am sure aware of the cheap labour. Fuck it, eh.

On the way home yesterday, I was like the last one to reach home. And after everyone got down, the cab driver started speaking to me....in CHINESE! AH. It's like what the. Seriously. He asked bout work, and all. He pitied us, cause we're not earning that much, and thus, boiling down to the point of cheap labour. I was totally speaking in broken chinese again. He thought HC was our boss. That's the hilarious part. I was also hoping that he could drive faster so my torment of speaking Chinese could end asap. HA. It was quite fast, since the road was rather empty. HA.

This year has seemed to be the year of concerts. I wanna go for a few, and yet they all cost a bomb. Dang. Just to name...the whole lot (since I'm rather bored)...those I'm going and want to go for...
National Violin and Piano Competition Finals/Semi-finals/etc. (FREE!)
Jacques Loussier Trio
JC Band Festival
St Pats Alumni Band Concert
A Jazzy Christmas
AC Combined Christmas Concert
AND, one SSO Christmas Concert. HA.

Other than that, I've got to get the scrapbook going, and start packing up for the new year. :) Let's go countdown with the black paraders! :D HAHAHAHAHAH.
