Tuesday, March 25, 2008 chryssy
spent chrys' last fews days in sg with her, think it was her fourth last day when we went to ice cream chefs for the last time. called the rest along but only qian could come. chrys bought the bigger cup, she said since it'll be her last one. when we all finished, qian poured all her coins on the table and went "OMG! i have money for another cup!" so we all bought a second cup. C: walked back to siglap where we decided to hang out at chrys' place. we played with her rabbit and swung on her swing.
chrys' second last day, all of us managed to gather at her place to watch Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants again and eat cake and ice cream and chips and drink pokka green tea. we couldn't stay over cus she had no place for us to sleep, her baggage and stuff were everywhereeee. we left only at 3.30am! walked out to the main road where we got a cab to my place to give them a place to sleep (haha, they sound homeless here)
they left earlyearly cus i had ballet, after ballet, went straight to the airport to see chrys off. i had no idea so many people knew that we are the asswipers. just us beck qian and i sat on a table and people went, "that's the asswiper table". and so many people came! her 4/7ers, her CJCsians, her church friends and even her pastor came! just outside the 'Have a Nice Trip!/Bon Voyage!', we all started to take group pictures and when chrys was saying goodbye to her grandmother, chrys cried! honestly i think i'd rather her cry cus of her granny than any of us. i think i would cry if i had to say bye to my granny too.
the asses made a scrapbook for her, we put in soo much of effort and time, qian had to come over to my place about 5 times to do it! (my place cus i had all the art stuff and decorations and rubbish here) for the last page, we even sewed the ribbons on it, and we made sure it was sooo nice. becky also downloaded the song Leaving on a Jet Plane and we played it for her.
chrystalchrystalchrystalchrystalchrystalIMISSYOUFREAKINGHELLALOT. before she left we made sure there was still some way of communicating with each other, i added her on skype, talked about going to look for my webcam, told her to blog more often but chrys has not been online for the past few days (maybe she doesn't have wireless in aussie) and it feels as if she's dead! when chrys was in sg, there could be times when i don't even talk to her for about a week and it feels okay cus there'll always be her name up there on my msn online people list. and now, since i know that she is in aussie, it feels as if she's soooo far awayyy.
chryssssss, skype/email/webcam/call/text/message/blog/snail-mail/do something! irritating ass.

Tuesday, March 11, 2008 freeeely freeeeeely
the asswipers had our last marathon last sat. it definitely wasn't the last marathon ever, but i can't help feeling that it is the last of something. the last of the year? last of the month? the week? we included our farewell to chrys in it too, so this is one which i really need to blog about. i forewarn you that it'll be really long and detailed and might not even concern you but i don't care cus it's more for me to remember it. and also cus this is my blog and i can do whatever i like with it.
ogay, so weeks before the thing, we planned the thing online. initial plan: tell chrys that the marathon starts at 3 at becky's, but actually, we go to crash and surprise her at her house at 2. chrys skips church that day and go with becky to her church the next morning. afterwards, continue with marathon.
but in the end, a lot of problems popped up like, chrys can't skip church cus she has to show her face cus she hasn't showed it for the past two weeks. it was sooo hard to work around this, so in the end, we ended up with this plan: errrr... dunno leh.
so on the day itself, becky and qian came over to PLAN. it was so last minute. then we just decided that we would all go to becky's at 8, after chry's church, like any normal marathon, have fun, and at the end, go home. THEN we crash chrys' place to surprise her.
then becky realised that she will be locked out of her house until 9, so we were gonna leave my place at 8. so we told chrys to come at 9, but around 8.30, chrys called to say that she's on her way to becky's house, but we were all still at my place! so we begged my dad to drive us all the way to potong pasir, where we almost died in a car crash.
anyway, that was really close, when we reached becky's house then chrys just reached too.
at becky's house, after each of us bathed, chrys and i changed our shirts and surprised becky and qian with our home made ASSWIPER SHIRTS! yaaaaay, it is a picture of some of the charaters of the movies we've watched with our faces inculcated among them! our timing was a bit off la cus they were playing mahjong online and becks couldn't take her eyes off the screen.
after they all put the shirts on, and they were like "who what where how when?" i accidently let out that while becky n qian were at my house (to plan the surprise earlier that day) i disappeared for a while to iron the shirts. then suddenly chrys went "HUH? WHEN WERE THEY AT YOUR HOUSE WITHOUT MEEE?!" oh mannn, i really didn't know what to say, and i said the only thing i could think of, which was also extremely stupid and i didn't think she would buy it, i said "eh?? oh wait, wait! it's not becks n qian! it's audrey and clarissa!!" HAHAHA, SO STUUUPIDDDDD. but she took it, so that makes her stupid too.
then we took some pics in our shirts. extremely candid. they look like Hiro Nakaruma and flying mun!
ok, this time round, guess how many movies we watched! -drum rollssssssssss- erm... -ddrum rollssssss againnnnnnn- TWO! ahahahah, we are getting old and tired, we only lasted two movies. The Sisterhood Of Travelling Pants which is actually quite apt for the occasion, and Sprited Away. it's so random, but it's suchhhh a nice movie, only jap animators can make up such strange storylines.
we woke up the next day at i'm-not-going-to-tell-you-the-time-cus-it's-very-em to go to church, chrys went with becks to her church and qian went with me to mass at some church near becky's. it was rather old, with no air con, no powerpoint slide screens and slow speaking balding priests, but it was really quaint and homey and the choir was pretty good. i remember that in our attempt to dress decently for church, chrys had to borrow beck's jeans (which turned into three quarts), while qian and i borrowed her school skirts cus all we had were fbts, it was so hills.
after church we went to eat lunch at Kenny Rogers and then we all separated into different ways by giving the excuse that becks has part two of church and it also really helped when her church friends so happened to pass by Kenny Rogers, and becks went, "oh! i better go now, my friends are here" (we have seriously lied a lot a lot these two days, but for the sake of having a surprise, it doesn't count as a sin right? riiiight? heheh.) anyway, that morning, while chrys was in the toilet, i also got to look into chrystal's phone to steal her mother's number so that we could ask her mum to make sure she goes home after lunch.
chrystal's mum was so hilarious! when she came to pick her up, i asked, "so what are ya'll gonna do now? gonna go home?" and her mum was like, "no, what are YOURRR plans? -eyes widened, bouncing her eyebrows-" omggggg, never collaborate with parents in your surprises, they can't pretend for nuts. and she did it a few other times too! the widening eyes and bouncing eyebrows thing.
so qian and i met becks at cityhall where we went back to my place to collect the ice cream we made for chrys. we have also asked chrys' mum to leave the doors open so that we could sneak in, we also asked her to keep chrys in her room upstairs. we ALSO asked her to delete all the msges from me, haha! we reached her place and it was so exciting! we let ourselves in through the gate but to find out her front door was locked! had to call her mum to open it for us. so we crawled up the stairs to her mum's room where she was watching tv and we could tell that her mum was SOO excited too! she was creeping behind us and giggling a lot, hahaha! outside the room, we counted to three and jumped in and screamed "SURPRISEEE!" chrys was on her parent's bed wrapped in the blanket watching some cheena show and half asleep! omg, so funnyyyyyyy, definitely caught her at a bad time, hahaha. we went down and let everything out, from all the loop holes (which were freaking hell a lot la!) and all our plans. i bet chrys was feeling damn ashamed she failed to see through our really huge loop holes. we then dug into the ice cream we made for her.
we initially couldn't decide on what flavour to make, until we became fed up and decided to think of an interesting name and a flavour to fit it, like the drink 'Sex On The Beach', HAHA. so we obviously thought of 'Asswipers', so from that name, we decided on banana ice cream with chocolate chips and strawberries. the description? TPUOYAASAWHM. or somewhere along the lines... that's the acronym for it cus it was simply too much to bear, haha! ahhh! spot the 'C' for Chrystal! ahahahah. dig dig dig Mmmm...
later, we went around to take pics and i realised that i will really miss her house on Third Street on a hill and her cute swing where we often swung and the many cats around and lingering 'filippino maids', HAHA. swing swing from the tangles of my heart
playing with chrys' trampoline
then we went for steamboat dinner treated by chrys' parents at bugis, after which they sent us home and on the way to becky's house, we drove through Little India where it was really crowded and the Bangalas still think they're in Bangladesh and anyhow cross the roads. i was very scared that we would hit some of them. they should get light sticks as a night time road crossing safety precaution.
haha, some of our very huge loop holes and also the lies we told chrys: when becky went to meet chrys at the mrt station, she got down from a bus coming from the wrong direction cus she was supposed to be coming from her school rugby tounament.
and when we called chrys' mum to ask her to open the front door, apparently chrys said that she noticed that the tone of her voice changed and it struck her as weird cus her mother rarely talks like that.
after taking chrys' phone to look for her mother's number, i realised i forgot to return her PDA stylus! omg, when chrys came out of the toilet, it was still on the table and i quickly took it and hid it. becks had to go "eh can ya'll pack all your stuff in my roomm?!" so that she could return it, haha!
all the secrets i've been talking about in my posts is actually about the surprise and the shirts. i know all of ya'll will go CHEYYYY cus everyone expects a secret to be really juicy, but these ones arn't. it's just that it's really exciting for me to keep such big plans to myself. hehhehhehhehheh :D
lie: at kenny rogers, we came to the topic of ice cream and qian went "eh you have an ice cream maker right! i wanna try it someday, it's so cool. yeah, we should make ice cream sometime" when we have already made ice cream for chrys. i also mentioned that i will dread the next time i see becks cus i have to pass her all her clothes and shoes she lent us to wear to church, when we are actually going to see her later.
oh man, this post took me two hours to recall everything and note it down. i haven't even uploaded the pics cus blogger is being irritating. < edit > i'm finally done with it! it's took me two days manzzz. asswipers, if ya'll manage to read everything, i salut you man! if any of ya'll who arn't an asswipe managed to read everything, you're just plain stupid. HAHA. < /edit > just so you know, this isn't the end of the asswipers! infinite Xs and Os!

Friday, March 07, 2008 AHAH.
yesterday, worked at Obolo and a customer came in. he talked in chinese but he was really friendly. we chatted a while until we came to the subject of Mas Selamat. Customer: Mas Selamat is in Malaysia. Me: oh, they found him already? C: no. but we know he is in Malaysia cus when you go to Malaysia, they will say "Selamat Datang", they are welcoming Selamat. M:AHAHAHAHA.
omg, he is so funny i swear. before he came in, i could see through the glass door that he was loading some kind of machine into his van. come to think of it, it looked like a high-tech sanitary pad bin, but ANYWAY, when he came into the shop, i thought he came to deliver stuff (hmm, maybe a sanitary pad bin?) haha, at first he bought some cakes and while i was packing the food, he asked "you not studying ah" (everything he said was in chinese btw) and i said that i just finished Os. then he started talking about teenagers and how old people like him don't understand them. he has a daughter and he wonders why she's always going out, chatting on msn and why her phone bills are so high. then i was like, we do these cus it COOL what. hahaha, then he said, so having so many piercings also cool ah, go steal things also cool, later then become like Mas Selamat. and so that was how he came to tell me that super lame and funny joke. haha, he's so funny! when he was leaving, he was like, funny right! must tell all your friends hah! HAHAHA.
i love working at Obolo.
sighzzz, i have work at Old Town Cafe tomorrow in the afternoon, then work at Obolo from evening to night. why do i torture myself as such??? it's not as if i need the money, they are shorthanded and i just decided to help them out (jo seems like she's really suffering there) what's worse is that jo is not working tomorrowww. i usually start work at Old Town at 11 but jo starts at 12, but from 11-12, i'd feel totally dead and suddenly when jo comes at 12, work is suddenly really fun! i don't know what i'd do if jo doesn't work there, working at Old town is really difficult, it's not as if the staff are unfriendly (though Obolo staff are so much more fun to work with), most of the time they are rather nice. but it's more of the customers and the embience at Old town which really sucks. it's so uncouth and hawker center like, and all the taitais and office men go there and they demand so much of you. and all the time they are calling on you, bring me chilli, bring me water, why the food take so long to come. and the place is really unhygienic too.
but at Obolo, it's so sophisticated and people are nice all the time. they go there and take their time, create conversation and enjoy.
ohohoh, something else that's funny happened at obolo yesterday, i went to work in my new EDC pants and i really like them, so i felt really cool. and happy. and stuff. until my boss told me that the price tag was still sticking out at the back! OMG, and you know how EDC price tags are BRIGHT RED and HUGE. now everyone will know that i got my pants for 50% off!
haha, since i'm in the mood to tell jokes, here's something funny which happened after ballet one day.
my mum came to pick me up and papaya was sitting in the front seat. my gosh i tell you, he gets so fat headed whenever he sits in front, he'll go, "HAHA, i'm sitting in front and you have to sit behind" or, if i say something random to my mum, he'll go "you dunno anything la" and he'll say other things which shows that he thinks he's much greater than you and you just wanna stuff his neck into an isqueeze. and all my mum does is go "stop it/keep quiet/raphyyyy". ch'yeah, as if that helps.
so that day, i got so fed up and went "MUUUUM, he's being such a B.I.T.C.H." and i expected her to scold me or say "MAX. STOP IT." but omg, guess what she said. she said,
"that term is for girls"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Wednesday, March 05, 2008 scarred, scared, sacred
He left a card, a bar of soap and a scrubbing brush next to a note That said "use these down to your bones" And before I knew I had shiny skin and it felt easy being clean like him I thought "this one knows better than I do"
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle He tried to cut me so I'd fit
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home? Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could've gone? And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more? And so that I do remember to never go that far, Could you leave me with a scar?
So the next one came with a bag of treats, she smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea And she told me don't trust them, trust me Then she pulled at my stitches one by one, looked at my insides clicking her tongue and said "This will all have to come undone"

I think I realized just in time, although my old self was hard to find You can bathe me in your finest wine but I'll never give you mine 'Cos I'm a little bit tired of fearing that I'll be the bad fruit nobody buys Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same?

ahah, i know this is rather old but it's a really great one hit wonder that never dies. haha, i think she's a butch though, you can kinda see from the lyrics. okok yes, she is, everyone is talking about it in the comments for another music video for this song which is like 10 mins plus but i didn't post it cus i don't want to bore you people. you can go look for it if you want to, it's the first thing which pops up after you click search.
haha, i think she looks a lot like Dani from A Shot At Love, she even has that little swoop upwards at the tips of her fringe, like Dani.
heh, theresse, i hope you're enjoying yourself in Philippines. i can't believe you didn't say bye to me! i miss youu. C:

i feel a sense of loss. you'd probably laugh at me once you hear why, but heck la, we all need to laugh at each other's losses once in a while.
they have cut down the trees some distance away from my house, just so that the new condo they've just built could have a better view. i saw them cut the trees down. they're really tall trees, with white barks and droopy leaves, but for the whole twelve years i've been living here, they have been there. for the whole twelve years i've been daydreaming out of the window, they have been what i've been staring at. and every time it rains, i open the window slightly and feel the wind blowing in my face, the same wind which makes the trees sway to the side. while i've been staring at these trees, i've thought of some very stupid things i could do and some really ingenious ideas. now, i have nothing to stare at except some topless beer bellied old man hanging his underwear out to dry on his balcony of the condo with it's plain white washed walls. i look forward to it.
this is a very lame and emo post, you may LOLz/LMAO/ROFL at it.

Saturday, March 01, 2008 you have a cute bum
head? or heart?
head over heart. heart over head. daeh revo traeh. traeh revo daeh.
i just don't knowwww. i can't trust my head. in primary 5, my chinese teacher used to say, "NI YONG BI GU XIANG AH?" (YOU USE YOUR ASS TO THINK AH?)
i have a smart ass. it keeps trying to take over my brain.
but never has it been so hard to follow my heart. that's what everyone says, "follow your heart. follow your heart. follow you heart."
WELL, let me just see YOU follow your heart when it's not going anywhere. it just sits there and THUMP.
it's like...money or pride? pride can't get you food. thus, heart can't get you food.
go with head.
would you trust Justin Timberlake? he told me to go with head. "GO HEAD BE BOLD WITH IT."
