Hello Dear,
Thursday, November 05, 2009
Haha been trying to come up with words that have names in them like sophiesticated, rudymentary, jeannieus and Amerika. Can't find anything with Chloe in it.
Watched My Sister's Keeper the other day, was rather disappointed. For those who read the book by Jodi Picoult you'd know they changed a lot of the story. Okay one pretty major character got cut out but that's not totally abnormal. The worst part was that they got the person who died WRONG.
I mean imagine if I took the Harry Potter series and made Harry die and Voldemort survive in the film?! I know it's not THAT drastic in the case of My Sister's Keeper, but still...
And anyway the production/filming/whatever wasn't that good either, cause I felt that they delivered way too many "serious" lines matter-of-fact-ly. It kind of killed the whole vibe of the film. I had expected to go in and bawl my eyes out.
Just watched Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs today, was pleasantly surprised because I thought it to be a kill-time-kid's-show (and still a better alternative to Jennifer's Body- I read the Wiki- which has the lamest storyline ever).
But it turned out to be cute and pretty good, and focused more on the father-son relationship rather than the usual don't-be-greedy (which is what I had expected) plot.
P.S. My Microsoft Word just DIED. I mean it works, but looks so screwed up. Screenshot next time. Bye!

I always did well enough to be on the right side of the education system. I'm the kid that rides on the bus every day and does the stupid New South Wales tests, gets Distinction for some and Participation for others. I'll grow up, work in a job doing things I couldn't care less about but pay the bills, contribute to the economy and be taxed. I'll marry a university graduate and have kids; one boy and one girl because we should Stop At 2. I'll work till the house has finally been fully paid for and the kids, who will be university graduates, will be old enough to be on their own. If I fall ill, I'll have Medisave. If I get into a car accident, I'll have insurance. I can retire because I'll have CPF. I would have been on the right side my entire life.So what?
Agreement with Joshua Mok to wear our Obama t-shirts to church on Sunday.
Mother: "His is nicer."
Sophie: "Yeah but his is like some stupid shop-produced design. Mine is like for wearing to rallies."

So shrimptastic! (I quote). But anyway last night sucked.
Halloween was an excuse for damn a lot of girls to wear the tiniest pieces of cloth possible, and call it a costume.
Like at Butter Factory I saw a girl wearing this tiny white tube and this white thing she calls a skirt, with a white strip across her stomach and another across her collarbones. Guess what she was dressed up as?
A mummy (I heard her telling her friends). I mean seriously? You've 3 strips of white cloth on you and you call that a mummy?
I saw some other girls wearing nothing but a bikini/bra and bottom (bottom as in a bikini bottom, not even shorts). One girl at Zouk had cut her denim shorts so short, they only covered half her buttcheeks. I mean, it was really the same size as panties. (I tried to take a photo but she wiggled her brazenly-displayed buttocks off too fast).
I mean I know it's the one night you can show a little more skin and it's okay, but some really went wayyyy overboard with that idea? But whatever, you can check me out as a prawn hohoho:
HEHEHZXZ fins on the back!
Oh anyway my costume cost me $40 to rent, which was already cheaper cause it's from the kids' section (which is why the prawn head doesn't sit properly).
I considered going as a flamingo/sunflower but couldn't find a full outfit ): and they were still gonna charge me $60 for it? By the way No.1 Costume Costume was insanely crowded, costumes were strewn everywhere and the stuff was all mixed up.
I had to pay a $60 refundable deposit + rental cost + GST= $102.80
Ouch heart pain $_$
Prawn eating McDonald's cheeseburger.
Haha my feelers (?) kept covering people's faces and hitting them. It got kind of annoying really. Never wearing that kind of thing again. Next year I'll just scrounge something up from my closet.
By the way Chloe pretty much came as nothing. Real creative with the devil horns there...
Diana was the Phuture door bitch that night, and wore the shortest dress possible (provided by Zouk). Tsk. They get to keep it but I really don't see when she couldn't possible wear it again.
Haha I met my friend at the costume shop already, I think the watermelon is SOOOOOO CUTE!
Rudy very creatively wearing a mask. Zzz.
Shaggy in the back on the right haha, Rudy's friend. It's quite unfair, all he did was comb his fringe down and wear a green shirt. I went with him to help him get a drink and he asked me if they tip people here (he's from USA) and I said no. He then promptly tipped the bartender $10. -_-
Diana and Chloe kept scolding me for coming as a prawn ): Chloe said she'd rather I wear slutty slutty short whatever than come as a retarded prawn.
Chloe: "There are 2000 people at Zouk, and only 2 shrimps".
I don't know if there really were 2000 people lah, but anyway it's a prawn costume!!! >:(
Haha Addie got hers first, when I went to the shop I saw only the body of the costume so I thought it was a fish and quite seriously contemplated getting it. Then I saw the head and realised it was the same as Addie's, so I told her she could be a lobster and I'll be a lowly shrimp lor.
Anyway last night sucked because it was so crowded and no one wanted to pay to go in ($28 for girls I think) and because it was an event night, no one could be signed in or whatever.
But my good buddiezxz Dianazxzxz got me in free, so at least I didn't pay. Which would have been damn stupid considering I only went in for 5 minutes. Like seriously seriously, I went in to the toilet, came out and never went back in again. Zzz.
And I realise a prawn really WAS a stupid costume. I mean it was funny, but really pointless. After all, all you can do in it is well, wear it and sit in it. Have you ever seen a dancing prawn? I haven't. Can you imagine a dancing prawn? I can't. Exactly.
Bye bye!

"Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night’s sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too."— Lemony Snicket
Hahahaha. Misery loves company.
But anyway I just submitted my final Philosophy essay (with 13 hours to spare before the deadline, go me!) so that means I've cleared my 3 assignments due for the week.

I went to the No.1 Costume Costume shop for my Geography project on globalisation, because my group decided to research Halloween in Singapore (and its link to globalisation; e.g. we know about it mainly through the media etc..). So here were some photos we took as proof of fieldwork hohoho:
Sorry I looked very unglam so you get a stupid star from Photobucket's stock. Do you know how many retarded stickers they have?! Nonsense like fake moustaches, "Sexy", lipstick marks.. etc. I mean didn't everyone outgrow that kind of crap when they were like, 6 years old or something?
LOOK! SO MANY COSTUMES CRAMMED INTO ONE RACK. And there are TONS of these racks!!! They're all organised according to category, so I guess this was the jungle/animal print one. (I know I'm supposed to make some lame Ris Low joke here but no thanks. By the way watch her RazorTv video- she is a moron. More on her later.)
Hahahaha animal heads.
This doesn't show anything at all but it was for my project.
Anyway the shop deals with random stuff the rest of the year like productions and events. Like remember how in primary/secondary school you'd have to sit through 30mins of a cow/bear/whatever prancing about on stage trying to teach you about dental hygiene, charity, obedience or some other thing? Yeah.
The shop is 7 years old (I know all this because we interviewed the Assistant Manager) so my only grouse is that... I wonder how much of the costumes they've washed/properly maintained in those 7 years... Because some of it looks kind of gross and about to fall apart.
It costs anywhere from $50-$200 for a 3 day rental of a costume, depending on how elaborate it is. Haha we saw one costume that was a giant hat. As in basically it was a huge top hat, with holes for the arms. Literally, a giant hat. Hahahaha.

Finally finished my 8-page essay for Southeast Asian Studies! Had to submit it to Turnitin (this thingamajig that checks the Internet for how much you've copied off it), was so worried I might wind up with like 30% copied or worse. I mean out of a 2000+ words, the odds do seem pretty high... BUT anyway mine only had 16% woohoo. Time to print it out!Butter Factory on Friday
Ronald's birthdayyyyyy. Usually Friday is way emptier than Saturday, both at Butter and Zouk, but I don't know why it was pretty full this time.
6 bottles of Chivas or something, but being the designated driver (responsibility=me) I didn't have any. Most of the boys were just done with BMT, so it was hilarious when one got drunk and started shouting things like "permission to recover sir!" and trying to "march" in his drunken stupor hahaha.
So many bald heads hohoho.
Ronald.
Brandon, Ron and Jon.
Hohoho (new favourite word).
Hohoho!!
Awww what a cute picture.
Anyway I actually forgot to bring my camera so these are all ripped off Facebook. Should I buy a new camera? Since mine's so spoilt. Might just go for some $200+ camera instead of blowing another $500+ like for mine -_- since obviously it didn't do me much good...
2 more assignments due this week! Go me!
Sitting here contemplating Halloween. Rather disinclined to spend $80 renting a costume and I actually visited the largest costume shop in Singapore, which was really HUGE, but the stuff didn't look very clean... Oh well at most I'll just brandish one of my random miscellaneous items like the Minnie Mouse ears or the cat mask.
P.S. Rudy installed the new Windows 7 and lost everything because it turns out a lot of his drivers aren't compatible (although he just bought his laptop this year). Macintosh ftw!

I have a whole barrage of depressive posts and half-thoughts but I shall not bother anyone with them. Yet. But by the way I got B+ for my Political Science draft.
SMS to Diana (whom I haven't seen in ages, but is living it up with her best friend at SMU law):
It's like every day I kill time waiting for something, anything. And I hate that, because time is running out. We're growing up and I'm not looking forward to the future at all.
"And I guess I'm kind of lonely."
