The Baffled King Composing Hallelujah

WHOOHOOOOOO! HAPPY 200th POSTTT!!! *throws confetti* YAY YAY YAY. (audrey, how's the baby!

oh maaaan, i don't really wanna blog! hahaha! reason beeeeingggg that i have SO MANY MANY MANY MANY THINGS TO TALK ABOUT AND I THINK I WILL TAKE THE WHOLE DAY! but cus i love you so, i shall do this SPECIALLY FOR YOU. yeah, and if you don't want to read then you can go and die. HOKESSS... the night before the... OKAY, FORGET IT. I CANNOT. JUST THINKING ABOUT WHAT I'LL HAVE TO WRITE ABOUT SCARES ME. thus...you watch.

YES SORRY I MISSED OUT WEELYN'S NAME. APPARENTLY I DIDN'T NOTICE SHE WAS AT THE AIRPORT CUS IT WAS TOO DARK. SORRY WEE, I AM REALLY SORRY.

I STILL LOVE YOU WEE.

HAHA, ok don't laugh!!! err, it's a little late to say that hor. hahaha, i really felt quite dumb doing talking to the camera! couldn't stop laughing, hahaha, see my first attempt! HAHA.

cab fareee! can die, i counted ok! 5 cents per 5 seconds!

our hotel.

got fire place too!

our view.

this was taken on tuesday, when walking to the city. (we freaking walked EVERYWHERE. dunno why, mother likes to walk)

quaint little houses.

there were a few old buildings around which looks very nice.

very mini doughnuts! super cute, the size of your palm.

third day, wendesday, when i checked into my room. this is my bed before.

and my bed after! and i did it all myself! (almost) i am so cool.

the church i go to. which is veryvery pretty.

fourth day, thursday, on our way to Uni of Sydney. this is broadway which is very near the uni.

flower! damn cute right! reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.

changchangchang! UNI OF SYDNEY!

oldest uni in Australia. where part of Harry Potter was filmed. where the dungeons are hunted. where all the cool kids go.

courtyards and large patches of grass.

walking to the city. again.

the pope's arrival on a boat at Darling Harbour was shown on the teevee.

there were many statues of Jesus around and all were painted differently. this was the most interesting. according to the description, Jesus is seen as a super hero to many people, which is why he was painted red and blue- superman colours. and on his hands are painted the signs for money and peace. and his body is painted to look like a skeleton to represent the mexican's Day of the Dead thing. so on overall, it's meant to represent the death of people's beliefs, that Jesus is not a superhero but our God or something like that.

this place is really cute, there's like those paddle boats and kids on the mini bungee jumping thing.

Darling Habour!!! there's the big teevee to show the arrival of the pope too.

Darling Habour at night, veryvery pretty.

Lindt shop!

they have super ah pui macaroons! and there's this champaign flavour, veryvery good!

nice view

sunday! at the race course, waiting for mass to begin. all the pilgrims camped overnight, omgxyz.

that red thing over there is the alter.

policemen still ride on horses here! to patrol the smaller streets and all la.

random grafitti.

that's catherine (left) and jocelyn! on the right. joce is from singaporeee.

I LOVE THE SEAGULLS! why don't they have them in singapore?

seagulls!

so finding nemoish! and they really try to grab your food.

seagull which stole my mother's noodles.

poke you.

If You Don't Leave, How Am I Supposed to Miss You?

oh man.

ohhhh man.

I am scared.

and it's not the "ii sCaReD lEhXx!" kind of scared.

it's the "I. Am. Freaking. Scared." kind of scared.

i'm talking about being on my own, facing the books. i haven't gotten over feeling like such a big, fat failure after the Os. i've just forgotten it. i am now alone in this battle against academics. i am such a loser. and i realised that i do not do anything where it's a must to succeed anymore. i'd just avoid getting myself involved. and i only join when it's only for fun, or failing isn't such a big deal. you could call it a phobia. caused by the disappointments after SYF and Os. i really admire people like ethel and becky who i've seen working their guts out for good results, then get disappointed, and then picking themselves up almost immediately and hitting the books again, telling themselves that they've just got to work yet even harder. i am such a wuss, i fail and say that i have no idea where i went wrong and i've already worked so hard, i couldn't have worked harder.

amd i simply refuse to give myself another chance for the fear of failing.

what. a. failure.

on a lighter note, i am truly touched by people who have written blog posts/farewell smses/love letters/post cards especially. *COUGH*chrys*COUGH* my love goes out to all of you and i will reread all of them when i'm in aussie and missing ya'll ever so much. i am trying really hard to express how i feel in words and this is extremely difficult. please know that will be thinking of you and willing to be home real soon. 5 months is gonna pass really quick (i am trying to convince myself about this) and you'll be in my heart always.

my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

I'm ...

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing

Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times that I won't have to say ...

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

And I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

righto, POLL! POLL! POLL! WEELYN WINS! WOOHOOOOOO. *throws confetti*

!

HAHA. okkk, it's not as if people who commented actually voted, but people have told me verbally that they think weelyn's picture is worse and they don't want to comment it cus they are afraid that weelyn, under the influence of drugs, might get her gang and beat them up like prata. so yeah, names shall not be disclosed, HAHA. and one person has told me that my ah lian picture actually looks cute. *COUGH*bex*COUGH*

HAHA.HAHA.HAHAHAHAHAHA. i dunno what's wrong with her.

oh, and lastest news, my mother and i will be leaving on monday, and my sister on wednesday. some delays with visa and all. so... wow, yeah, no one is going to see me off, i was gonna depend on my sister's boyfriend to add to the 'crowd' and right, well now i guess not.

oh hahahaha, chrys will be so proud of me! i have started packing! and my mother also took out all our old winter clothes from past trips and we had some fun with them.

oomg, my first thought: "WHERE'S WALLY?!" HAHAHA.

the scarf is daaamn cute la! yes, mochi's tail is cute too.

haha, my bro's tail very long.

ohoh, he's wearing my ski suit from my trip to Korea when i was 7 i think. oh man, he is 5 this year and the suit is too small for him!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOOOOO!

YAY HAY, yesterday, the 7th of july was jo's birthday! ah pa is finally 170!!!

we made our way to dhoby ghaut mrt station and we started waiting for jo and huang chi to come and we entertained ourselves by taking pics.

don't you think they look alike? HAHAHA.
farah: haha, she's so cute.
eunice: look like me.
farah: eh yar hor! looks like you!
hahahahaha!

finally jo came and i felt so sianned waiting for chi to come when all along she was sitting at the bus stop until they got the msg that it was ok for chi to 'arrive' and for us to start heading to fish and co cus they were planning some surprise thing for me. and all along i was thinking that they went to fish and co first to settle JO'S surprise. waah, two surprises at one time ah, totally caught me off gaurd, i applaud you guys.

and before that, anna was totally being an idiot okay! she msged me that she couldn't come today cus she was babysitting her cousin, somemore can "hey max" me and start apologising profusely. i was like, wah, how come i'm the only one she sent the msg to? (i thought i was just special ): HAHAHA) so i told audrey that anne couldn't come and she can tell me to reply "can you maybe ask them to come back earlier or something? why did you agree to babysit them when you have a date with us later??" WAAAA, INDIRECT BRAINWASH CAN. then anne said diedie cannot make it, etc. (freaking long sms!) ok maybe i shall type it all out to humour ya'll, haha!
anne: "sorry max, i've already tried. i know i should have just rejected la, but i didn't think that they'd leave so late and come back even later. i feel bad now. i know you're feeling damn annoyed with me now. but really really sorry, it's my fault and i'll make it up to you some other time. i feel bad. i can't send you off already and now i can't go for this. worst friend ever"
me: "HAHAHA. it's seriously alright, we understand -nods- we still love you anna!"
anne: "stop it, you making me feel worse :(:(:(:("
so i did exactly what she told me and didn't reply.
anne: "max. i'm really really really sorry."
OMG, if she wasn't trying apologising to me, i'd think she was trying to irritate the shit out of me, HAHA.
and it continued like this for a few more times until we were walking to fish and co and i was thinking to myself, aiya, sms her later la!

so walking into fish and co and towards our table was like woaaaaah, the place is so. so. so. so. cool! the atmosphere was soo FISHY. HAHA. they really did the place up and it was so exciting! (though i think that they could have made the place yet even more fishy) and we took our seats and all then suddennnnlyyyy, ANNA POPS OUT FROM NOWHERE! and i screamed ANNAAA! and she was like, you know who's the cousin i had to babysit?! -points to audrey- HAHAHAHA. and thennnn CLARISSA POPS OUT FROM THE SAME NOWHERE! and i screamed CLARISSAAA! and yeeeeah, a lot of people turned when i screamed, HAHA. then i ran and hugged them and etc.

and okkk, let me clarify something! you people are sooo annoying, i swear. clarissa and i have been mother/daughter/dodohead partners since sec 1 and default camwhore buddies in sec 3 and 4 okay! ya'll don't anyhow say what shit lor AUDREY LIAW SHU JUAN, and eunice, there's nothing to be sad about, your dada is still your dada. clarissa was the closest friend i had in 4/6 okay! then i never see her for such a long time, of course i would be really glad to see her, no?

"wo mei youuu!" HAHAHAHAHA

blob

anna-banana-(kungfu)panda

there was live music as well, which was damnnnnnn awesomeeeeeeee.

jo's green cake!

and her present! which was a green bag stuffed with a whole lot of green stuff!

omg, why didn't we take pics of her while she was standing up on the chair!?
oh well, the surprise for her present kinda screwed up thanks to the fishy staff. and after that she confirm knew that we were gonna get her to stand up and all, especially since almost ABOUT 10 birthdays were celebrated at fish and co that day. but i love fish and co birthdays cus they make the person stand on the chair, give them a sparkler and they will start cheering and if you haven't gotten them a cake, i think they'll give you a complimentary cup cake which is pretty big, with ice cream. so much better than taupok can! taupok is brainless.

HAHAHA, when i saw this pic, i burst out laughing! that fish and co is really haunted! is that JU ORD at the back?! HAHAHA.

haha! jo looks really cute with her green cake!

and i love this pic! it's so kooky.

then we started taking lots of pics with the LOVE outside.

PEOPLE CAN YA'LL KOPE THIS PIC INSTEAD? THE OTHER ONE SO WEIRD LA, GOT FLOWERFLOWER, OH MY GOSHHH. HAHAHAHA.

then ethel and anne went home and we went to clark quay to drink 7-up and juice and mineral water which came in a glass bottle.

and we caught the last train back.
haha, i was quite kanchiong that we might not catch the last train back. hahaha, they kept on going "if we miss the last train then we come back here and sit down" HAHAHAHA. then on our way while walking to the mrt station, there were like these statues of (not so) stick men and i went to one and put my arm around him. then audrey said "eh if we miss the train then you can come back here and continue hugging him" HAHAHAHAHA.

posing for the camera. she's a poser. (HA. HA. HA. not funny.)

i'm surrounded by armpits.

then audrey started hanging from the bars of the mrt. you know, i bet before you started hanging from the bars and all, you were feeling very restless (which btw, was what eunice felt which made her walk around my house which then lead to "max, your mother likes fish ah?" HAHAHA)
so yeah, initially i didn't want to hang around too cus i've seen kids doing this before and i always "tsktsktsk, mother never teach them to behave in public ah" but in the end i just heck cared la.

haha, audrey said my pics all damn constipated. WHERE GOOOOOT! i smiled until so sweetly lor!

by time we reached tanah merah, there was no more bus services! i had to walk home! thanks chi tompanging me for half my journey!

YEAH, i had such a great time you guysss, and ya'll really didn't have to surprise me lor! no need to surprise BaRH. anyway, why is anna always the one 'missing'! hahaha, maybe cus she one of the more likely ones to not be able to come. and audrey, you're damn crazy, 60 bucks worth of cakes for a glass bottle of mineral water?!?! THANKS, you rock. you can (almost) go and sign up for Obolopal liao. so THANKS GUYSS. you are a simply wonderful bunch. however, apparently someone was not playing her part.

was it like just me or was weelyn quiet throughout the whole night? i missed your silly remarks, weelyn! i really don't remember any suanings because there wasn't even anything to suan you about. okay, no doubt they're usually pretty dumb, but it really contributes to the fun and laughter of the night! an outing is not complete without suaning you, or taking home something funny you said and laughing to myself about it while brushing my teeth and then all my toothpaste foam will splatter everywhere on my mirror. haha, i'm just kidding. but seriously weels! don't pay attention to the whatever oh-help-weelyn-society la, you actually expect THEM to help you? instead i think they are turning into you, haha! weelyn, BE YOURSELF. somehow we have to accept you for who you truly are. HAHA, cheesy shit!

OKAY OKAY OKAY.

STOP SPEED READING!!!
LET'S HAVE SOME FUN NOW SHALL WE?
I AM GOING TO HAVE A POLLLLL.
WHOO HOOO.

DING DING DING!

ON ONE SIDE OF THE RING, WE HAVE WHAT THE COMMOTION HAS BEEN ABOUT, THE AH LIAN, MAXXXXXXX!

sizzleee

OKAYOKAYOKAYOKAY!

omg, i don't know where to start!

ok, i will tell you about a dream i had! i was in my condo's lift and was making me way home, and when the door opened, i saw my sister and her big group of friends hanging around outside the front door, like on the steps and near the shoes and all, and my sister was holding this really huge safety pin and was in the midst of saying, "it really looks very nice!" and when she saw me, she said, "okok, i'll show you. max! max! come here!" so i stepped out of the lift and she more of like came to me instead. and as she continued rambling on about how it (what's "it"? i had no idea) was very nice and how she will show it to them, she was waving the huge safety pin around and it poke me a few times and it REALLY hurt (they say you're not supposed to feel pain in your dreams but i don't know, it hurt!) so i told her "OUCH!! stop it! it's very pain eh!" and she was like "noo! not pain one!" and continued waving the pin about, at the same time, poking me even more. and i screamed again to ask her to stop. this time, she said "i tell you it's not pain! come i show you!" and at this, she grabbed my hand and JABBED the pin into my finger! i looked down and saw a big gash in my fourth finger and the wound was gaping open and i could see my bone. IT REALLY HURT OKAY, it's like i can feel the pain from my skin being cut, but it didn't feel as if it was THAT a deep cut until can see my bone. and something weird happened here, when i looked at my finger, it was like... metal? but i was like, too involved in screaming that i barely took notice. then she also jabbed the pin into my elbow and blood started coming out. and i screamed la, but obviously it didn't work. so she decided to start showing her friends what "it" was so nice about and she asked me to turn around to face the lift door. then she finally said, "it can really work as a hair pin!" oh maaaaan, so now we know what "it" is and i was damn scared she would pin my scalp or something! in my dream, i had long hair and thankfully she pinned it pretty low and it like, kiap the skin on my back and i was just letting her do it and saying "very pain very pain very pain" and all her friends seemed to be unaffected by everything going on and was just ike, "uhh yeah, i guess it does look nice." then she took the pin off and i quickly ran into the house and straight into my room where i saw my parents. and i wanted to tell them everything which happened but somehow, the first thing i asked was "did i ever have an amputation on my fourth finger and had it replaced with a metal one or something?" and they were like "nope" then i suddenly realised i had to tell them about what just happened, but you know how like in dreams, you have something really urgent to say and when you open your mouth to say it, you realise you can't speak? yeah, but i managed to tell them the whole story by whispering loudly. but when i was done, they were like "oh. what can we do? -shrugs-" OH MAAAAAAAAN. then i turned around and saw my sister and she stared at me, the you-watch-out-i'm-gonna-kill-you stare. so i quickly ran out of the house and the the lift down and when the lift doow opened, i found myself in Club Med! and i felt pretty comforted cus the dream-maxine knew almost everyone there and i hugged Hi to a few people and people seemed to like me cus they told me, "maxine! you're the best!" (okay, cue to cough, haha!) and i found one of my good friends (whom i don't know in real life and thinking back about it now, he kinda looks like The Rock from WWE, HAHA.) ANYWAY, so i stuck to him cus he's so macho and he would be able to protect me from my sister. and club med has shows almost everynight and that night, it was like some loony tunes show and i was enjoying myself until i saw my sister on stage! with the loony tunes! and i got pretty scared and then i woke up.

how scary is that okay! well anyway, i clarify that in real life, i love my sister and i do not see her as a serial killer. at all. i brownie swear.

okok thennn! on friday, i went out with laurel! we went to chinatowwwn. we are so pro-multi-racial-ness, she was the one whom i went to little india with too. haha, so at chinatown, i totally don't care and just anyhow binged on food. tried avacado juice, veh nice! and ate this tutu kueh which she said was very nice and then ate at Togi, korean bibimbap! damn good.

laurel: eh sorry, i cannot pon lecture on friday. i pon so many times, i become pon star already. HAHAHA.

yeah, so it was a friday night and i bet becky wasn't having a life so i asked her out. then she called twice and i didn't pick up (was too busy indulging in my bibimbap) and she sent me an aunty msg saying "i just finished training, u neh pick up my call!" then when i called her back (2 minutes later only) she went into an aunty-fit saying "why you never pick up my call! where are you! i called twice leh!" omg, got a fright of my life, even my mother doesn't do that.

haha, something funny happened! becky's mother called.
becky: out. with maxine.
-pause-(mum proably asked why she wasn't informed)
becky: cus i scared you scold me?
-pause- (i started giggling to myself and i don't know what her mum replied)
becky: cus if i tell you then you will scold me then you won't let me go out so i don't tell you la!

OMG, HAHAHAHA.

k, i shall end here and blog about saturday another time! this post is already long enough. BYE!

And Now I Wanna Be Your Dog

haha, for some reason, i like this pic a lot. even though it's so unglam and from my no-fringe-sec-one days.

sighxyz, i think i have stomach flu. and just when i was thinking about making a list of makan places to eat at (which i know i wouldn't actually get down to doing it, but at least i have a mental list of it). i feel pretty crappy, and the worst part is that i think my grandmother has contracted it from me. i feel so baddd. and i really don't know what i ate, i keep on thinking about the Or Luak on saturday night, but i only started feeling sick on monday morning. plus, i wasn't the only one who ate the Or Luak. but then the last few times i ate Or Luak, i got food poisoning from it.

oysters are starting to turn their back on me. omgabc.

i guess it's good that i haven't been going out much these last few days, and i'm gonna be really free tomorrow and normally i'd feel that it's gonna be a damn wasted day but i think i shall say home and tidy my room :X

ultimate party pooper, i swear.
