Title__*::Update

Hey girls,
this is an update. Worried why I'm taking so long? Or simply just too impatient for my detailed posts? The latter isn't it. I bet you crazy aunties are just hungry for the juicy gossip to bitch about with your friends. I'm working on three HUGE posts that you will not regret (worth the time). Lots of photos girls!
Okay. First, I am DAMN happy!!! Arts Central has, once again, started to rerun Shaman King! I missed lots of the first episodes of Mankin, and am desperate to catch them. For the period of appr. I yr 3 mths, I suffered the abscence of my favourite Anime. I lived on fanfictions, searching and searching for a good laugh amidst all the sick SK porn. Ew EW EWWW!!!

---------------------------
Yes, Yes, these are the stats:
Music: 2 Hearts-Sugababes-Taller In More Ways
Food/Drink: Double Mushroom Swiss Burger
Book: The Number Devil
Movie: Cars
---------------------------

I am now going to start obsessing about Pirika, maybe Jeanne and possibly Anna:

Pirika is my fave character, but I only have one picture of her alone...shi bai le! shi bai!

I have too many Kyouyama Anna pics...really!

Iron Maiden Jeanne!

Hey girls, BTW, I heard that Chuang Yi (local publisher) published all 32 volumes all the manga(in Chinese)! But I just can't seem to find it, anywhere I search. In the bookstores, online...Yeah, whatever. But you get my point! If anyone has any information or whatever about it, can you tell me? I'm resorting to buying the VCD from Popular from Junction 8. That is, if they still have it...And also, I wanna know more about Funbari no Uta! I don't even think that it's published here...But anyways, if you know anything about this manga series, plus Funbari no Uta, please tell me, will you? I am sooooo...desperate! Thanks! Swwweet!
Well anyways, you girls know my email addy and stay tuned for more updates!

Title__*::Self-Made Man: My Year As A Man

Or something like that. It goes by different titles o'er the world. It's climbing the charts to bestseller heaven, and at a very fast rate at that. No way, it is NOT AN AUDIO DISC.
It is, as some of you may know, a book by Norah Vincent documenting the eighteen months of her life disguised as a man. Vincent, a freelance writer, decided on this project to find out more about a man's life and test the general theory that men have it easier. THIS IS TAN JIA NA WRITING. I repeat, TAN JIA NA!!! Yes, my vocabulary IS that superior. Hahahahas. This entire piece is written by me. Not some cut-and-pasted online edition of a newspaper review, or a synopsis written by fellow bloggers and online marketers, such as a short description by Amazon.com or a brief introduction by eBay.com members.
Vincent reportedly took acting and voice coaching classes to help her speak, walk and behave like a man. She also underwent tough makeovers to make herself seem more like one of the hairy male species (of us, DUH! And this is where the controversial hints that I wrote this come in). For example, Vincent had a haircut and dropped the makeup (The horrors of it all!!!).
And to create that *urgh* bulge in her trousers, she paid a visit to an adult toy shop and apparently bought a fake *thingie*. EW EWW EWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! I can't believe I just said that whole sentence.
To create a more manly effect, fake stubble was used for that morning shave. Vincent refers to it as more on the five o' clock shadow side. Apparently, an actor friend had taught her how to use cut fake hairs and stick them on her chin. This, she said, was a painstaking process she had to go through. She took every chance of seeing a mirror before her as an opportunity to check if any of her 'stubble' had fallen off. o_O;;;
She might have taken the project too far when she was confused and could no longer recognise her true identity. She was then put in mental hospital for a period of about two weeks. Vincent's disguise was apparently so realistic that not one person had realised it till she told them about it at the end of eighteen months. She even joined an all-male bowling league, went on dates (argghhh!!!!! LESBO) and paid visits to strip clubs (lesbo again). I do not think the article mentioned Vincent's toilet troubles, but it could have. You see, today Auntie Jessica (She is my layered-hairstyle-hairdresser where Eg Uncle Jo gives me good conditioner, Auntie Ann ties my hair and etc. etc.) did a really good layered style for me, which I think either makes me look like those so-called dreamy Taiwan boybands keeping long hair and an even messier fringe or those Metrosexual White Hairstyle in MapleSEA. I think it is in the Henesys hair salon. I shall show you my BEAUTIFUL (haha meet vainpot) hair once I get the photos uplodaded. A BURDEN OFF MY SHOULDERS!!! Really, I guess those twenty big clumps of hair on the ground could have been used to clothe a bald King Kong. I picked up a magazine and read into it. However, I stopped at the second out of third page as on the last lay about five short paragraphs on the comparison on male and female s**uality. There, Vincent expressed her dread on how terrible her experiences in the strip clubs were. She droned on about the terrors of the look on the men's faces, where she compared them to women and said that women's s**uality comes more naturally, whereas men's, if you've wanted it you'll need it. Whatever. Not that I understand the meaning of that sentence.

So back on track, she signed up on an online dating website and went on countless dates, on none which any one woman noticed or least suspected that she was a man. Vincent also spoke of the downsides of being a man, though mostly boasting the close friendship feats men share and which her male friends shared too with her while she was undercover. She told the wives of her male friends the truth,"Your husbands say a lot of really nice things about you."
And also, when she revealed the truth to them, Vincent said they all started getting all emo and everything, opened up to her more. One of them even broke down and voiced his worries and concerns about his cancer-stricken wife. Vincent said though the bonds and friendships between men were too strong to break, they still opened up to her more when she was back to Norah. Vincent called herself 'Ned' as a man, since that was a childhood nickname which 'had long fallen out of use.

Okay this no longer holds my interest. So if you're the one interested now, you may find out more from the Internet or something, yeah?

Title__*::Parental Guidance-PLEASE!!!

Parental Guidance? PARENTAL GUIDANCE?! PARENTAL GUIDANCE!!!
I cannot believe this.
Today as I leafed through The New Paper, I was utterly horrified at what I saw. It was clearly a minimised version of the 'The Omen' movie poster. On it was Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick, a boy with a sullen look who is supposed to play a reincarnation of Satan in this remake. A TNP reporter who I much dislike, Jeanmarie Tan (I think her Chinese name is May Lian) wrote yet another review on this creeeeeeeeeepy movie, which opens in cinemas islandwide today, supposedly our "Date with the Devil". I'm sure most of you, if not all, know the meaning of triple 6-The Mark of the Beast. See, I am so afraid of those three identical numbers that i dare not even type them out fully...
And today just happens to be 06/06/2006, which when you ignore the zeroes and that single two, is just another form of the Mark of the Beast. My brother was very expectedly unhappy that by 7.30 PM, Osama bin Laden still had yet to again bomb the States.
Now my original horror, was that a little child like Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick was to act as Satan himself in a supposedly-M18 Anti-Christ film. Until now, I am still unclear of his real age. Back to Jeanmarie Tan: In today's review, she talked about how un-scary Seamus was. What's more, she began to rave about how cute he looked. And that raving took up half a sentence of six words!!! Gosh I guess I AM overreacting. What is with me exaggerating so much these days anyway huh?
The huge new horror of today, was that- *drumroll please*

My Goodness, The Omen is a P! G! Film! PG. In clear black-and-white print. Not even PG-13! Though that wouldn't make much difference. The hyphen thirteen is merely an age recommendation. Parental Guidance. Ah, no wonder Seamus can act in this film! But while those few queries were solved temporarily, ten times the amount of questions, ten times more puzzling, hit me on the head real hard. OUCH.

I still do not understand having kids play reincarnations of the Devil. I'm sure if you are really, REALLY close to me, you MUST have heard me going on and on about how terrible everything about the production is. But the biggest horror of today is that it is only PG. Like I said, not even with a '-13' at the end!

But with a nanny hanging herself 'in full view of his party guests' and a little sullen boy claiming to be a reincarnation of Satan, this had better BE PG.

Parental Guidance, PLEASE!!! You don't want the kiddies getting nightmares. Though I guess they still will.

Title__*::RSYC Family Day 2006

Yesterday was Family Day at Republic of Singapore Yacht Club (RSYC). The theme was pirates. The staff wore black and white pirate bandannas, which Yati and Auntie Margaret clearly were unsure of what it was. Auntie Margaret did not know it was called a bandanna and Yati thought I wanted to call a cab to bring us home and challenged me to deduct money from her monthly allowance. Weird right? I mean where is the connection...

There were like games booths, food stalls and competitions. I liked the Tiger Beer Drinking Competition! Hahas. I think in the end, some ang moh guy called dunno-what, sounded like Bobo (whahahahas) won. They made them (the contestants) wear cloth bibs to prevent spills and all. I stood at the prize redemption booth, right beside the stage and watched. From what I remember, there were about 5/6 game booths. I played at about 4 of them.

Initially, I just wandered around and followed Jia Xin and her cousins everywhere they went. They even had us walking around in the same big circle five times in a row! But as she says with an air of triumphance, "Hmph! You dowan' follow me then don' lah! Like I care..." Sometimes I wonder why I even talk to her. I say, on Saturday we all witnessed her step repeatedly on the poolside shit and she denies it, then forcing me to smell her feet...
*faint* o______O;;;

After a while, Jia Xin walked over to Uncle Yeo, who was then sitting at a table in the BBQ area. He invited us to sit down and get ice-cream and drinks but I declined *POLITELY*. JIa Xin bought Haagen Dazs ice-cream (Belgian Chocolate flavour! Mmmm...) with her remaining coupons and had a SGD$0.50 coupon left, along with her -at the moment, useless- 2 game tickets. Before that, Uncle Yeo asked Jia Xin to play with me and I helped her with that dropping-ball game thingie. Jia Xin decided to start feeling tired and I bought two booklets of coupons from Miss Thye, who sat under a shady umbrella and helped out while waiting for her Fishlike Swimming Academy (or something like that...hahahas) customers. The first time I went there, Pamela's mum was sitting next to her and chatting.

The first game I played was that dropping-ball thingie. You have to aim for one in each for the best score. I had really bad results but the Indian man with the ponytail manning the booth gave me a bonus of ten tickets, which Jia Xin later informed me was appropriate of the booth owners. I went to the place where you...ARGGHHHH I AM REALLY BAD AT DESCRIBING! Next time come my house and I will show you what it looks like. I am a bad blogger...hahahas.

But anyways I redeemed lots of prizes and used up all my game tix and coupons.

I'll gladly describe my prizes:

-Large Pink Snoopy (10 tix) A female Snoopy w/pink eyes, nose, eyebrows and a pink floral dress.
-Large Blue Snoopy (10 tix) A female Snoopy w/blue eyes, nose, eyebrows and a blue Hawaiian dress.
-Large Green Snoopy (10 tix) A green Snoopy wearing an army-print coat.
I AM SHORT OF THE LARGE YELLOW SNOOPY
-Small Blue Snoopy (5 tix) A blue snoopy with blue details and a brown bone with "Snoopy" in blue for a collar. Very furry with a chain you can attach to a zip.
-Small Pink Snoopy (5 tix) A pink snoopy with pink details and a brown bone with "Snoopy" in pink for a collar. Very furry with a chain you can attach to a zip.
I AM SHORT OF MANY, MANY OTHER COLOURS OF SMALL SNOOPY
-Small Bear Keychain (2 tix) A small furry bear dressed in a red jumper and short denim skirt. A string is looped on the head for attachment to a zip.
-Small Bear Keychain 2 (2 tix) A small furry bear dressed in a purple jumper and short denim skirt. A string is looped on the head for attachment to a zip. I think I took the last bear in purple.
I AM SHORT OF THE BEAR DRESSED IN A GREEN JUMPER AND ONE OR TWO OTHERS DRESSED IN BOYS' CLOTHING
-Mini Sticker (1 tix) Comes in Hello Kitty design.
-Mini Keyboard Sticker (1 tix) Comes in Mickey Mouse design with more stickers of a model of an old version-keyboard.
I AM SHORT OF ALL THE 'THE INCREDIBLES' STICKERS.
-Trinket Box (? tix) A ballerina with dangly strings for legs sitting on the heart-shaped lid of the small purple heart-shaped trinket box.

Title__*::Mathematical Arguments

These few days, the core of my parents' arguments have mainly been about the same things-my brother, my father, and the Great Old Hag and her side of the family.

It's just like Mathematical Arguments...except even more complicated.

Their 'complex' fights on my brother usually go this way:

Studies:

"Why don't you ask him to stop playing those stupid games of his huh?!"

Tuition:

"She doesn't even teach English then how you expect her to tell him?"
"No lah, I say she can teach him like some basics on how to write good compositions..." (sounding exasperated)
"NO, she doesn't even teach English in the first place! You want someone to teach him English then go get your own English teacher lah."
"You tell me what kind of tutor is this? Where got tutor so f***ing stupid don't even know English," and then blablabla. There are too many (long) examples for tuition and I can't list them all down.

b) "You believe got tutor for a few weeks then suddenly he will get full marks for his exams ah?"

c) "Ok fine lor! Then you go and get your own miracle tutor."

Each Other:

(makes childish face) "See your ****y ah, everything also scold scold scold. Got nothing better to do is it?" This is censored. It could be either d*ddy or m*mmy.

"I don't even know why I married your ****y ah! (S)he's so ignorant/stupid!" Censored for the same reasons.

Old Hag:

Too much to even list one. And anyway, there would be too many asterisks to censor their conversations.

Anyway, on to more light-hearted things, Kymberlee tagged me on e-mail to do this crazy list of hers to see whether I am a tomboy or your regular pink girl.
So then I thought, why not post it on the blog? Just to show pple.

Title__*::NOTE

Sorry...it seems that some of my readers (you are a PIG, Marilyn!!!) are UNSATISFIED with my last two/three posts as they have been absorbed/sucked into the whirlpool of screaming fangirls of some lanky idiot (caused me much trouble, yeah?). Whoo. What a long sentence...
Aha! Now you say, this is not interesting at all! So I need to cater to your needs right...WELL TOO BAD! I AM NOT YOUR MAID! But whatever. At least I have an interesting life, I say.
Ignore that.

THE MAIN POINT IS THAT
I see his star quality, and abilities and I greatly appreciate them as also for Director Neo's-well- directing talent, but I am just not some shrieky fangirl of his.

I must say I was tempted to delete a few of these posts...

Now, on to MATHEMATICAL ARGUMENTS!!!

Title__*::My Goodness-Hunk Turned Junk!

I've never known what you guys see in him.
And up to this day, I still don't.
Muahahaha, I'm sure you were expecting me to say something completely different, no?
I don't understand why you nitty teenage girls are so infatuated with Joshua Ang Ser Kian (17 this year I figure). I guess because you think he's so "hot". Well, I personally would be too, if I kept wearing jackets in photo shoot prints just like him. And staring right into the blazing bright lights and flashes of the camera equipment...Ouch.
On the jteam site, he is described as a pretty boy and also being spotted by director Jack Neo for his 'boyish, clean-cut looks'.
I've finally found something to accompany me to court-evidence from the I Not Stupid Too Behind the Scenes film! Yeah I found it in the Luxury Edition DVD.
Here you go, ladies. Which luckily I'm sure none of you have my blogs's password. No flames, excepted, accepted, expected or exempted.
And so...

edited: sorry sorry sorry! Most of the time the ugly picture won't show up. If you're really desperate, email me.

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!!

Who wants to come over to my house to celebrate? I've got three computers to play MapleSEA on...including my brother's, which I'm pretty sure will be occupied while he plays WARCRAFT. He's eviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil!!! (He quit Maple.) And I bet you're not aloud in the Master Bedroom to/or use the laptop!!! Leaving only mine, of course. WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Well excluding Sarah, which of course my mother still suspects to be some old (50-something, 60-something plus) hairy sicko trying to abduct/molest/kidnap/murder/all of the above mentioned little girls. Sorry.
Well enjoy your holidays everyone.

PS Grrrrrrrrrrr Thanks to gorgor and his idiotic PSLE (Which of I'm sure the results won't exactly be fantastic), we won't be able to go anywhere during e holiday. No travelling for me..BOOOOOOO!!! I don't even THINK we'll get to cruise! (I don't even THINK "we'll get to cruise" is not a grammatical error kk)
