be with me
watched the film just now.it's incredible...there's so little dialogue, probably the most silent film i've ever caught. yet it expresses human emotions in their purest form so perfectly. this is the first time after a show finishes, that no one moved out of their seat. almost as if no one dared to break the ringing silence in the theatre.it's a really deep and touching show. it's worth all the praise it's getting. and it is local! do watch it! :D

dishwashing liquid for the brain
i was doing the dishes just now when i was reminded of this particular day of my YEP trip in Sri Lanka. just so that day i was left alone in the house for a couple of hours for housekeeping duty. it was after lunch, so i set about preparing dinner. sounds too early but i know being the first time making dinner for 14 i better start early. after that i started to sweep the floor of the house. shit man. the dust wouldn't stop coming in. that whole village was so sandy and dusty everywhere. we had to sweep the tiny house 2 or 3 times a day just so to keep it relatively clean. and i started to spring clean the kitchen because after a whole week of living there the kitchen started to house rotten veg, houseflies, fruitflies and MANY ants. yujing to the rescue. took me 2 hours. threw away lotsa stuff (that should've been thrown away earlier. eew.), transferred storing spaces, wiped down countertops. i didn't even spare the washed dishes. took them all up, cleaned the place they were resting on, rinsed the dishes and put them all back. halfway through i heard rustling at the back of the house. i was a little freaked, cos i was the only one around in a ulu village house in a foreign country and at the back of the house is forested area. looked out of the window and spotted that mangly spotty dirty dog that always hung around ripping and going through our trash. ARRRRRGGGHHHHH. the stuff was all over the ground....and the worst thing is. i couldn't even chase it away even though i was waving a KNIFE and clanking it against the window sill. it just gave me the 'let me eat' look. i didn't want to go out cos that dog seriously looked sick. patches of its fur was worn off or something. i just didn't wanna risk being scratched or bitten and come back to Singapore looking like a werewolf.the whole point is. housekeeping is hard work! but i kinda like washing dishes, cos after washing they have this squeaky feel. i don't like cleaning floors though its just too tedious. cooking is fun, more fun than the cleaning up. and doing manual laundry is really backbreaking work. ok i dunno how i ended up rambling about dishwashing and cutting veg and a sick dog. maybe my secret ambition is to be a Super Housewife. with the pvc suit that stores all my cleaning devices. you know, everyone's a closet-something. maybe that's mine. at least i know i won't literally be a desperate housewife when thrown into a kitchen.

blahs.
went zouk last night for the last mambo. the music was good and it was really quite fun at the start.until i saw people that made my blood boil, and then i lost it and screamed at them on the dance floor. honestly speaking i shouldn't have done that but they were right there in front of me and the pent up anger and disgust just got right out of me.i don't care about what they called me. i was angry because they didn't apologise to Mike. that was the only reason i was fuming. simple facts got twisted into a myriad of plots, lies and schemes. i admit i was wrong in the first part of the saga, but many things that didn't exist simply got conjured up from nowhere. and i am, to at least one person, known as a lying bitch. i accept that. i can't please everyone. i thought i did the right thing but i am completely wrong. i felt guilty. and then when they turned around and went at Mike (and turns out they got the wrong Mike) i just wanted to get back at them. forget about the guilt. i don't feel sorry at all. and i am terribly sorrythank you, you, you and you for showing me the people who really matter.

the last mambo
i've been given notice that i'm supposed to turn up next wednesday at Zouk. i think i better go, my visa mini's being held hostage. played mahjong last night at Mike's place.. had some alcohol and i think it helps in winning eh? haha...nah didn't do the accounts..it was just all for fun. 2 nights ago i had a taste of hanging around with 5 indecisive guys, Mike included. it's actually quite amusing, though exasperating sometimes cos i never thought guys could stand in a circle outside peace centre at 12 midnight and agonise for 15 mins on where to go next and we end up. tadaaaa. across the road. hahaaha. okay la. the pizza was nice. we tried sisha too. it's kinda wierd. dunno what effect is it supposed to have on the smoker. cos we didn't feel anything except boredom after awhile.oh wells. back to potter.

go on you snail.
had enough of my lappie being the slowest lappie around. it's time i cleaned it up!!!!! urgh.for starts, compiled all the past lecture notes and slides, photos taken for last sem's modules, and burned them all into cds to keep. walaaaa. a whole gig of memory retrieved. not much. but i'm not touching my mp3s.i'll need to reformat the whole thing pretty soon. it's lagging cos of some error. which i'll leave to my dad to trouble-shoot. as usual. wahhaha. came across some pictures that i don't really enjoy looking at. deleted almost all of it except for a few to remind me of the events that happened in the past 1 and a half years. i don't like to forget what i have done with my life, good or bad. back to the point. i need to go sim lim soon to get some gadgets. i'm trying to sound like i'm a IT-savvy babe. but all i'm referring to is a mousepad, cd case, those hemispheres you chuck under the lappie to prevent it from overheating, speakers, computer software and if my hands are itchy enough, a Starck mouse. HEH.if my plan works out, i should have my lappie up and running at it's full potential in a week or two. with Photoshop CS and Autocad installed. for me to attempt to use them. :Dlast night my faculty participated in the Chinatown Mid-Autumn Festival light-up. we performed our Rag item and it was really fun! we jumped in front of any camera pointed towards us and struck poses gamely (or should i say shamelessly hahah) for them. the fireworks display was just mesmerising..i loved those in the form of glitter dust and shooting stars. after that went to meet mike, ck and junwen. it was ck's birthday! got him the birthday firehouse ice cream(i think that's what it's called). but stopped short of embarrassing him with the birthday song. hope he liked the calorie-laden surprise ;)
