Toes and Robin!

When I went to Malacca, there was one day where we went to this water amusement park. There was this ride where you slide down this long tunnel in this large float, and when I came out of it, I stabbe my fourth toe on my right foot on some unknown object. I thought it was nothing then so I let it go.

The next morning I wake up and find a small but deep gash on my toe, don't think much of it and place a plaster over it so that I can walk normally. I continue with this practice for 5 days.

Yesterday, I decided that it had healed enough to let it air for one night, so I didn't put a plaster on it. I wake up this morning and there's this huuugggeeeee crusty over the cut and it's throbbing and blackish around the edges. Gross. I stand up and I can't put any weight on it.

It gets so bad that it starts throbbing for no particular reason and I can hardly stand it, so I go to the doctor. She presses on the crusty thing itself to check if there's any object inside. All clear. But by doing this she ruptures the crusty and the pus spills out. Double dosage of gross in a day, ergh. It hurts like crap too. Fantastic.

Then she puts this antibacterial cream on it and places a new plaster over it. It's working wonders right now. My toe isn't throbbing no more but it still hurts when I put weight on it. I have an MC too, excusing me from "strenuous physical activity".

I'm now on antibiotics until Monday. I have chlorohexidine [[which is in pink, much prettier than the horrid blue]] to wash the cut with, and an antibacterial cream. Awesome. \m/



Arsenal v Steaua later! I shall check the TV guide later to see if it's on. Most probably not. But anyways, a screencap from [[you should be able to fill this in yourself now]].



And some pictures of Robin.



His leg looks really bow legged here. But yay for Robin coming back! I just hope he doesn't have a set back and get back on the injury list for another 3 or 4 weeks.


Chanel's website is awesome.
This is the dress I was talking about in the meme in the last post! Isn't it gorgeous?


A normal sane person would say that this is an overload of orange, but this is the most perfect thing ever! Orange and Chanel!

Things that piss me off, part zwei

Okay I'm in a relatively bad mood today, so here is part 2 of the things that bug the hell out of me.

Eins:
People finishing all my muffins. I bought five and Bernice eats all of them, leaving none for me. Fucking ace. Heard she's got a sore throat now. That's what you get for being a food stealer!

Zwei:
People posting a random paragraph of lyrics from some bad song, leaving no explanation as to why they would post something like that. Seriously, who do you expect to read your blog then? And if you're tyring to hide your feelingz under such a sekkritive veil, then why start a blog in the first place?

Drei:
People who type lyk diz n expect euu tuu understand dem. Jing and I decided long ago to eliminate lol and short forms out of our dictionaries. Still ranks up there as one of the smartest decisions I've ever made.

Vier:
People with personal messages that are in other languages. Je t'aime and Ich liebe dich I understand, but something like "feuer und wasser kommt nich zusammen?" We don't understand it, so what are you trying to say?

Fünf:
Camping. I was just discussing this with Jing, and we both came to the conclusion that camping is stupid and retarded. I don't care what kind of a camp it is [[unless it's at the Hilton and has room service and cute waiters]], it's still retarded. I don't see how sleeping on a hard surface is going to help us any, except for giving us bruises, which are lyk, supa kewl dood.

Sechs:
People not tagging. I know people read my blog, so why the hell don't you tag? And I doubt you come for the links, because I have very few of them.

Sieben:
People who sit next to you on the bus or on the MRT who are wearing headphones that are blasting bad music. I remember the guy next to me on the MRT [[who was kind of into the whole punk scene]] was playing Aliens Exist by Blink 182. Uh, that's really going to get you some street cred dood. *shakes head*

Acht:
That stupid little pop up thing MSN has when people sign in. And people signing in and out a billion times. Okay just stop it already! You don't need to sign in 20 times in 5 minutes! Log in once and STAY ONLINE. Omg so irritating.

Neun:
People who don't talk to me but talk to everyone else. For example this guy in my BN group. He talks to all the guys and people from his school, but not to me! Am I not cute enough or interesting enough or something? D:

Zehn:
People who move away when you sit down. Seriously. I'm not that fat that you gotta move to make space for me okay. Same thing with the people who move their stuff away when you sit around the same table and then move it back when you're gone. I'm not going to steal your pathetic brandless bag! And even if it were a Birkin, I wouldn't steal it, because stealing = poor. Poor = not good.

Elf:
People with bad speakers. So we were at City Hall yesterday, the little patch of empty space where all the skaters hang out, right? There are like a bunch of people dancing, and two groups are playing "Who has the louder speakers?" Which is already irritating cos the music's bad, but the worst part is that their speakers suck. Disgusting sounding static coming out of your speakers at louder volumes + bad music = NO GOOD.

Zwölf:
People going, "Wah so rich ah" when they see you with a Starbucks or hearing that you eat at restaurants. It's my problem where I want to spend my own goddamned money, and if that just happens to be on good food, then so be it! And drinking Starbucks occassionally and eating at restaurants does not equal to rich, okay? Let's get that clear, once and for all.



And just like the other post, here are some things that make me ridiculously happy.

Un:
Players coming back from injury. I think I might just cry if I see Robin on the bench tomorrow. The subs bench, that is.

Deux:
Buying albums. There just something magical about ripping that disgusting plastic wrapper off it and putting it into a player with a good set of speakers. Especially if it's a NIN album. You know you're in for a treat when you put it in. Trent is my hero.

Trois:
Truffles. Mhm so yummy. Well I should be glad that I'm eating it at all, because it is quite an amazement that my dahling sister didn't finish them while I was out.

Quarte:
Finding something that I really really really want. Something realistic that's at the top of my list right now is the Canon Rebel XTi. I was just playing around with it at Vivo the other day and omg, gorgeous pictures. Imagine if I really learnt how to work it!

Cinq:
Watching That's So Raven and Lizzie McGuire at unearthly hours at night. I like them because they're so brainless and you don't gotta watch all the previous episodes to understand the one you're watching. And Chelsea is always good for some stupid laughs.

Six:
Eating good food. Don't you feel much purer if all you've eaten that day is a plate of pork knuckles and a nice tiramisu topped off with a good German beer? [[Okay you've probably realised that I'm pining for German right now. I was supposed to go yesterday but we ended too late. D: I should be going tomorrow for lunch. As long as you're cool with me, you're welcome too!]]

Sept:
Purplehood sleepovers. Enough said.

Huit:
Talking to people who are interesting and funny. I find loads of people really boring, but someone's going to tell me it's because I haven't got to know them yet, and once I do, they'll be as fun as my buddayes. Hmm don't think so. It's particularly refreshing when you do so after being bored out of your brains for nearly 6 hours.

23. What do you want God to say to you when you reach the pearly gates?
As Trent said, "If there is a hell, I'll see you there."

Yesterday I went to smell Stella again, and it smells different from what I remembered. D: I don't like it as much as I did. Ergh. It even gave me a small headache. :/ I think I'm going with Young Sexy Lovely, Coco Mademoiselle or Be Delicious.

I saw this pair of Chanel sunglasses. SO MUCH WANT. They're perfect! And Chanel. *sighs* But I'll take the Gucci ones as a cheaper alternative though. When I was looking at the Gucci sunglasses, the SA helped me clean my glasses and change the little paddy things that rest on your nose [[what are they called again?]] for free! :DD

Now that's called service! It's the small things like that that make you wanna get stuff from them, you know? There was this other shop with like a bunch of sunglasses but they're so freaking unhelpful, like they won't even be like, "Oh what are you looking for?" Idiots.



Today I went to City Hall to do my flag for BN. I was supposed to go shopping after that, but they ended at 5.30. At least I got a toffeenut latte.

I just realised that in some watch shop along the way to the Esplanade, they carry Marc by Marc Jacobs! It's a little purple star on a braclet and instead of numbers it has M-A-R-C instead. So pretty! Bernice tells me to only get it if I really want it.

Bernice not going "OMG GET IT GET IT GET IT" for something by her darling MJ? Must be a red flag. Wesley also thinks that it's too expensive. I should listen to them. But just by reconsidering it I must have some reservations about getting it. [[I think this could be attributed to the fact that the watch is from last season. I should go to the MBMJ store in Ngee Ann City. I think they're having an end-of-season sale too...]]

And Zodiac still produces watches. I'm amazed that people actually buy them.


Anyways, here's something that really really really cheered me up.





I think I might cry from happiness. No, seriously. One down, three more to go. HURRY UP CESC/ALEKS/FLAMS!!!!!!!!!!


I think my posts are getting more boring now that I've stopped frequenting modelhommes as much. I also realise that 2/3 of this post is about shopping. I'm a bimbo. Jing tells me I'm not because "You ain't stupid. Bimbos have to be stupid." Comforting. So if you take away all the academic powress... I think I should just face up to the fact that I'm shallow.

I can only seek help if I think I have a problem. And my problem is that I need to be well read and more cultured. I should start reading Dostoevsky.

Boro v Arsenal

FUCK.

And right after I saw someone post "Only one team left with an unbeaten record" on LJ after Reading beat Liverpool. I knew that idiot shouldn't have said that! Fuck!

I'm so incredibly pissed off right now. We should have started with the line up we finished with. Playing two defensive midfielders together isn't a smart idea. And why is it that every single fucking team has their best fucking game of their entire fucking season against us? 18th in the league, 3 points from their last 5 games, and we fucking lose to them.

I don't care if Cesc, Aleks, Flams and Robin are all out, it's not a fucking excuse for that pathetic excuse for a performance we put in today. The passing was bad, there was no creativity, and we didn't have any real chances on goal in the first half. We didn't show any determination to get that equaliser, and the only shot at goal we had was in the last minute of injury time.

And we entertain Chelsea next in the league. Fan-fucking-tastic. We better put in a good performance against Steaua. I'm shuddering at the thought of playing Chelsea if we lose/draw against Steaua.

I need someone or something to cheer me up.

It's official: Malacca sucks.

We went to A'Famosa, which, according to my sister who was reading some pamphlet, won some award. The food was bad, the rooms felt like they haven't been cleaned for ages, and there wasn't anything fun to do there.

Duane was the most amusing thing that happened.

Beatrice: Ah Duane, when I say Cinder, you say rella, okay? Cinder?
Duane: Snow White!

Haha I love that kid. ♥


Anyways, there was the BN exam this morning. It was easier than I expected. I won't get full marks but I don't think I'm going to fail either.

During the exam a sir came and picked up my paper and told that that I had nice handwriting. :D I didn't say anything though, I just tried a weak smile. I was kind of distracted thinking about the line up for the match against Boro tomorrow.

After the exam we were told of the schedule for camp, and there are a lot of holes. As in, there are too little activities per day. Also, it's kind of suspicious that there isn't any footdrill. Hmm, I can't wait for the changing parades! I remember this Sec 1 girl told me that she liked changing parades.

We counted our strength wrongly before we were dismissed, and we almost got killed for that. I remember Wesley saying something like "Camp is going to be much worse than this". There was probably much more but I was distracted by the red Toyota sports car which I was comparing to a Lamborghini. I have the attention span of a fish.

After we were dismissed about half of our group went to Plaza Sing to buy the cloth for our flag. I got an iced caramel macchiato!!!!!! VICTORY! >:) It was so so so so so good. Ahh I'm salivating just thinking about it now.


I met up with Bernice to go to Paragon to get my Arsenal calendar. But instead of getting this, this is what I bought: this month's Arsenal magazine, No Rinse Soap & Shampoo [[for camp]], and the best fucking thing of all....

THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL WITH THE B-SIDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO MUCH AWESOME. ♥ I can't remember how long I've been wanting this already. I just never got around to buying it because I was hoping someone would get me it.

I didn't get the calendar because by the time I saw it at HMV [[at $17.95, much cheaper than the $28 I saw at the shop in Paragon]], we were super tired so we went to Marche to sit down and eat. Ah I love good food. This is all I've eaten today:

- An iced caramel macchiato
- Honey glazed ham with mashed potato
- Crepe with custard and strawberries
- Strawberries and mango
- A diet coke

Mhm my tummy is satisfied now. :)

I so nearly got Stella by Stella McCartney at Takashimaya, but I was about $25 short. D: It's so so so so good. Gah. It's so soft and feminine and so pretty. I know I'll wear it a lot, probably more than Eau des Merveilles [[but not because I like it better, but because it's not limited edition, haha]]. *sigh* I need it. D: Christmas present anyone?

And how awesome is Lanvin? Their pearls, omg. Perfection. ♥ And I'm not a big pearl fan, so that's saying something. I also saw this pair of really pretty orange CK heels, but yeah, not enough money. :/ On sale and in my size too! *sigh* There was also this other pair of heels I saw from Nine West. Electric blue, and so gorgeous. They look painful though, and what do you wear with electric blue?

I also saw one "too busy to fcuk" shirt at FCUK. I distinctly remember Justin wearing that in the first season of QAF... Weird, huh? If that one was by FCUK, it's nearly 7 years old, and if it's not, tsk tsk.

All in all, a very fun trip. :) Even if I am much poorer than before.



Watching the Gunners play Boro tomorrow will be my first live match since... urgh, a long time ago. Life has just been too busy lately. :/ I have also just come to the realisation that I will not be able to catch Arsenal v Chelsea live because I'm at camp. Urgh urgh urgh urgh SO MUCH DON'T WANT. D:

I should be at home in my comfy bed screaming at the TV instead of being in a state of half-awakeness awaiting a changing parade in camp for the game. D: I am so unhappy about this, it's not funny. If it were like Arsenal v Derby, then you know, I'll be unhappy but not "AAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH *punches*" kind of upset. This is so unfair! >:(

And I can't find anyway out of it either. I hate having obligations. I'm going to make sure I'm rid of all obligations the moment I am able to do so. I don't understand why we can't just study and not have CCA and CIP and whatever crap. It's not enough that I'll get you your fucking 10 As, I have to be an all rounder. Urgh.

But anyways. Back to Boro. I have no idea what the lineup is going to be. The back 4 picks itself, if nobody gets food poisoning or something [[which is actually pretty likely, considering the rate we've been losing players lately]], but the midfield and attack is a bit more tricky. But I'm sure Arsene will pick the best lineup available... IN ARSENE WE TRUST.

NIN

My new ambition in life is to see NIN live.

All these are from Reading '07.










I have no words. NIN is the best.

This is the first day of my last days
I built it up now I take it apart
Climbed up real high, now fall down real far
No need for me to stay; the last thing left, I just threw it away!
I put my faith in god and my trust in you
Now there's nothing more fucked up I could do

Wish there was something real
Wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you

I'm the one without a soul, I'm the one with this big fucking hole
No new tale to tell
26 years on my way to hell
Gotta listen to your big time, hard line, bad luck, fist fuck!
Don't think you're having all the fun
You know me I hate everyone

Wish there was something real
Wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you

I want to but I can't turn back
But I want to



I'm leaving the country tomorrow, and no, I doubt we'll be coming back to Singapore on the same day this time. I have about a billion things to do before I go. But yet I'm still on the com. I'm amazing, I know. Let's do a little list, shall we?

1) Pack my bag. Everything's strewn across the bed right now since last Tuesday, I'm such a slob. I got back my helmet that we used for the Macbeth production from Lynn on the 16th, and I just brought it downstairs today morning. I amaze myself sometimes.

2) Charge my MP3 player. I'm going to be terribly bored on the journey, so I better have some form of amusement. I'll probably watch Prison Break until we get there. Prison Break rocks. And like what I told Yuan Yee, even if you don't like the show, there's always Wentworth Miller to oogle. ;)

3) Finish reading Stardust. I've been trying to for like the past 3 weeks or something. I just find the way Neil Gaiman writes hard to read. But watching the movie before reading the book has probably also played it's part.

4) Practice the guitar. I haven't touched it since last Sunday. And the two pieces I have now are really hard. Yayz.

5) Do my History homework.

6) Do my Chem homework.

7) Finish digesting my BN course notes by today. The exam's on the 8th, I'm coming back on the night of the 7th. Best thing is that I don't know what to study, 'cos no one's said anything. D: Bernice tells me to just study everything.

8) Watch I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry or The Matrix.


Since this will be the last post before I go, here is a little present, courtesy of my sister.

Belinda: *looking through Bernice's bag* Do you have a mirror?
Bernice: Nope.
Belinda: Wow I thought someone like you would have one. Why not?
Bernice: I haven't found one large enough.

[[And this one she told me last night when I asked her whether or not I looked like Beatrice]]
Random person: Oh you two [[referring to me and Beatrice]] look so much alike!
Bernice: What about me?
Random person: You related meh?


Okay I shall go and do my homework like a good kid now. Have a good day everyone!

You Cannot Fuck With This

Okay. So either something is wrong with the hit counter, or I have a scary amount of people visiting my blog. I'm going with the first, but in the event of the second, I really wonder who are these visitors. TO EVERYONE WHO'S READING THIS: IDENTIFY YOURSELVES ON THE TAGBOARD, KK? ILY BBS.


WHEE I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE BNCO COURSE. The course was okay, actually. Weird, huh? I was telling Joan that I expected changing parades and lots of pumping, but we only knocked it down twice, and there wasn't any changing parade. So yay.

During the map reading lecture, the sir/lecturer went around and asked people, "What would you do if you got lost?" I said that I'd get a map and try to find my way out, but in reality, I'd probably call my dad, then sit there in fear, contemplating my death, until someone comes and gets me. I'm pathetic. But it's not my fault that my map reading capabilites = zero. And I can't do knots either. I'm a genius, I know.

I realise that I look really really really retarded with my hairnet on. Ergh. Like some factory worker, but worse. And a ma'am told me that my hair is too thick and that I need to get an overall hair net for my bun. I'm taking that as a compliment; I love my hair. ;) Well, at least, I have hair to love.

I think I'm addicted to my phone and smsing. Because today we were told to bring our wallet for lunch, and me being smart, intepreted it as "Don't bring your phone along", so I didn't. And I didn't eat, not because I wasn't hungry, but because I was disheartened by the lack of a device with which to communicate. I also think I'm addicted to coffee, and more specifically, Starbucks. The first thing I think of when I want a drink? Depending on the place, either a caramel frapp or a coke. I'm hopeless. *sighs*

Just because half of the paragraphs here start with "I" and 3/4 of it is about me, I shall do a recount. So today, after we're dismissed, our assistant group instructor asks us to stay back to talk to us. Something about being sorry for being harsh on us for something I can't remember, so it couldn't have been that bad, could it? I know what's-his-name-the-one-with-the-zebra-specs was way worse than Wesley though. But whatever. We're the last to go, so we get pulled by the DO for the 8th to rearrange the tables in the lecture room.

After we're done we run to get our stuff and change. While doing that, we get screamed at for being slow and that we only have 4 minutes to change and to get the fuck out of the toilet [[which smells like piss and shit, by the way]]. So everyone just gets their stuff and rushes outside the school to change. It's quite funny, because some people are wearing their half-u -- doing their belt and what not, and some wear their half-u just to go out and pull off their pants/skirt.

I personally do the latter. I change in the smelly toilet, then I get into my prettiful car to strip down to my t-shirt and shorts, minus my shoes. Wonderful system, isn't it? No, my feet don't smell. They do look quite beaten up though. Must be the sun. And isn't it funny that heels hurt less that the boots? I know, I'm ROFL-ing.

ETA: I just realised that I had my mp3 player in my sister's bag the whole time, and I was banging it around for two whole days! :O But it's still fine, so yay. It's much hardier than I thought it would be.



TWO-ONE TO THE ARSENAL AWAY TO THE VILLIANS! :D

I haven't watched the game, because I've been dead tired, so I can't comment on the game, but yay for winning. Especially in a game lots of people were expecting us to struggle in. :) COME ON YOU GUNNERS!

But D: at Aleks and his achilles. I'm going to be optimistic and hope that he'll be back for Newcastle. Remember when he was tackled like really badly during the West Ham game, but he was back for the next one? Even though Arsene said his leg was all red and he couldn't walk? I'm hoping it's like that this time. *crosses fingers*


LOOK WHAT I FOUND! :DD

AHAHAHAHAHAHA I LOVE YOU BOYS. ♥ Sagna is looking directly at the camera, tsk. Spoils all the spontaneity of the picture.


Hahaha this might just convince me to get an LG Shine after all.


Choose a less suggestive pose next time, yeah?


HAHAHAHA Ronaldo = PWNED! I LOVE CLICHY! ♥ I'm deciding between him, Kolo, Robin, Aleks and Cesc for my jersey. So many players, so little jerseys.


I just like the pwned pictures. Haha. I like Diarra as a player, but I wasn't too pleased with his comments about leaving if he won't play regularly. What did he expect? To walk right into a team with 2,000,084 central midfielders to choose from? Tsk.


Hahahaha I saw this on Setanta Sports. At first I was like, "Uh, footballers are heroes?" then I realised it was the show. Hahaha I'm retarded.


Hmm we're getting Burnley for the FA Cup. I'm not too familiar with their team, so no comment about that, but they are from the Championship. Aren't you amazed? We got a non-Premiership side! If my memory serves me correctly, we got Liverpool at this stage of the competition last season.

And some A-M screencaps.

This is really quite mean but I can't stop laughing at it.


YEAH WE'LL TAKE ON ANYONE. I have confidence in our Gunners! :D But better Burnley than ManUtd.


Haha CLASSIC!
