aunt agony!

haha i haf been surviving with curly hair for abt… 3wks alr. hey! its not an easy task ok! i nv buy ‘curly hair mask’ (i m not sure if there’s such a product), i nv use wax, bouncy cream and all that.

my hair is like straightening alot already. gonna go back to the old ‘wavvy’ hairstyle that i used to sport. haha u mus be thinking ‘damn! 3wks only and its straightening out already?

yes u bet! its straightening at an exponential rate.

at first super curly. just like MAC DONALD’S CURLY FRIES!! that sounded very degrading. haha okay ,i mean, fresh curls k.

lets go thru the process of ‘curls loosening’ and what u need to b wary of if u want long lasting curls. (in order to make ur money WORTH!)

DISCLAIMER: anw, those are hear-says. that i have accumulated from frens who, unfortunately, also hearsay fm other ppl. hahha. the inaccuracy is imaginable. cos u know, when information cascades down, the accuracy is always lost. but u just read lar(discerningly)

1) TRY NOT TO SLEEP ON YOUR CURLS (from: Fujing, a fellow girls home volunteer) she said that when u sleep ON ur curls, it’ll flatten out. coupled with the fact that ur pillow traps heat, the heat wil enhance the un-curling process

2) DO NOT COMB YR HAIR UNNECESSARILY (from: Ai Wei, a senior from hall six) d accuracy if this is quite high cos aiwei herself has curly hair thats dam nice. to-die-for-curls. If u really haf a compulsiv disorder to comb hair, convert ur comb to a brush. a wide toothed brush

3) COMB WHEN ITS WET (from Ai wei, again) She says that combing when its dry will cause the curls to look diffused and it wil b dam ugly

4) Bun up yr hair when u sleep (From Fu Jing) She says that u gotta twirl and twirl ur hair till it curls up in a compact bun. Then, tie it up and sleep on the bun (with curls as fillings ) haha. okay u might not get d joke. that was COLD joke yeah.

5) use hair wax everyday(from Geraldine, my chem engin senior) she says that curls are in fact, artificial inducement and therefore wont last (well, easy come easy go principle applies) so, hair wax has to be used to prevent the hair from straightening day by day. look, for long hairs, the weight of the hair tends to pull the curls down so naturally u need a material to support the weight of the hair in order to maintain the curls

6) go for hair treatment(from Kanae my bro’s jap gf who currently sports curly hair. haha). she says that the hair will increasingly be dry and hair treatment is necessary to maintain the hair quality. if the hair quality is good, naturally the curls look better. frankly, mine is shrivelled and it looks like sahara desert now man. ytd i even cut off certain portion of my superbly tangled hair after spending 5mins detangling one spot only. waste my youth!! oh golden youth!!

7) do not tie up your hair (from Rou-Hui, my fellow Joint dance concert ticketing officer) she says that tying up hair makes the curls disappear. that sounded freaky but i haf not tied up my hair for dam long alr (ok, with the exception of the few hours while playing ISG)

haiyar, just go for temporary curls. looks better. seriously.

when i wear sleeveless and the locks of curls swept past my back, it felt very much like dreadlocks or sth. u knoe, when u haf straight hair (which u probably haf right now) the flow and motion of hair feels continuoous. but when u curl it, thats when ur world starts crumbling and u feel that the motion of hair across ur back feels like a ’step function’. very discontinuous. i hated that feeling. but that only lasted one day. the next day, the curls loosened.

and it loosened

loosened

and its now, in a -i dunno-wad state.

27-12-07

晴天

my alarm clock rang and i looked at it."fcuk!!" was my first word of the day. good job. i started the day with a bang!! i screeched and a vulgarity just accidentaly came out. oops. my bad. i shocked my mom.

i was gg to run late for my lesson. my lesson starts at 9 30 and at 9 11 i was still busy snoozing.

i jumped off my bed and dashed to the toilet without taking fresh set of clothes. i took a towel only. then i realise that i haf been quite cocked (i cant start bathing jus yet!! i cant!!!) so i dashed back to my room to get clothes to change into

well, althou i was running late alr. i was still engrossed in thinking ‘okay wad shld i wear’

thereby, i wasted 5mins trying to figure out wad to wear. my bf says ‘no shorts no sleeveless’

and i looked at my wardrobe. alot of shorts. and i dun wanna wear jeans cos it might jus restrict clutch control (haha i mean, its so tight i cant move my legs!! i cant breathe!!!) skirts too, but they arent suitable for wear when i wanna drive right.

in the end, i choose a pair of longer shorts. looks like tchs shorts. (oops, well, that wasnt meant to be an insult to that prestigious school. i do haf a pair of shorts tt look like tchs shorts. haha!)

ok enuff abt my wardrobe malfunction.

then after i bathed, my mom asked me whr i was heading to. why so rush?!?! i said ‘LEARN DRIVING’. and my mom was like ‘hell yeah’

haha no lar. she was quite shocked cos she dint expect me to wake up early just to learn driving.

then, she shoved to me 3 FISHBALLS for breakfast.

i took the fishballs and ran for my life!!

then when i reached the traffic junction, i realise i dint bring my PDL!!!

i hurriedly ran back to take my pdl. it was a severe respiratory challenge. i haven been running for so long, man!! and, look at my fats. JUST LOOK AT IT! I BELIEVE THEY WEIGH A TONNE!!! they executed SHM (simple harmonic motion) when i ran. shame!!

BUT, thats beside the point. i was like 5mins late for lesson alr. then i called my instructor and asked him to meet me at bukit batok round about instead of gombak.

he came over and phew, we arrive at the round about at arnd the same time.

at this instant, an aunty casted a furtive glance at us, and she walked over.

‘uncle ah, seoh XXXXXXX’  i cant write out the hokkien as i m not proficient in it. but i could understand wad she was saying. she said that she passed her theory tests and practical tests before bt her license expired or sth. and she wans to learn again.

then my instructor and the aunty exchanged no.s (okay, that sounded wrong)

he handed over the wheel to me. i was like ‘gosh. second lesson and he wans me to b on the road?! hontoni dangerous!!" i confessed that it was my 2nd lesson and he said ‘its ok, drive to gombak.’

and at that instant, time stool still. i tried to drive but….

haha of cos i failed

i dint release handbrake!!!

then he BOL (burst out laughing) and he took over the vehicle.

we went over to gombak carpark and over there, i started out my 2nd lesson.

my 1st lesson, the engin only stalled 3 times. today………

it stalled abt 1000 times!!!!! hahha okay not so many times. but it felt like alot of times.

i looked arnd the carpark. there were many cars with L plates. i looked at the learners. all ladies.

but, none were as screwed as me!! hahha

gosh gosh.

but thats fine. i am naturally thick skinned when comes to this kinda stuff. haha just dun force me to make eye contact w human beings can alr.

and i keep rev-ing the engin (got the wheehhh!! whehh! sound ), cause the car to jump, stall engin. and many more.

u know wad, he uncle was abt 60++ yrs old alr. very old. i was such an ass to pose a hazard to him!!

after 1 hr of lesson (well, suposed to b 1.5hrs but i was late for 10mins, the aunty talked to my instructor for 10mins, and we took 5 mins to arriv at gombak) he asked me to drive back to bukit batok. whoo! exciting. so many cars!!!travelling at 50km/h!!!

i was at 20km/h!!!!!

being shameless is the key to survival. haha!!

when i arrive at my place. i saw him heave a sigh of relief. hahhahaha. super cute.

when i got off the car and he took over, i said ’sorry mr chua that i endanger your life!!’. he said ‘HA HA! never mind. see you next week’

i haf a feeling he must haf seen worst students. i stalled 1000 times. thr mus be some1 out there who stalled 1001 times!!

*self comforting*

he’s quite a good instructor. better than the 1st one. hahha.

(shinji) ONO! my cramps!!

i realise that when menses are coming, one shld avoid :

ice cream

coffee

pineapple

jus a couple of days, i read this book and i was really touched by this part. there’s dis father who promised his children that he would bring them to the amusement park, take them for rides. he had promised for quite a long time alr, and finally the day came! he had his off day. the father is a very very busy person. he’s been slogging his ass off for a long time, so that off-day was a very precious opportunity for the family to have a gd family outing. a long anticipated one.

however, then came a fone call for the father to go baq to the office to attend to some work. it was ‘urgent’. however, guess wad the father said? he said ‘no’. and declined to go baq to office. he dint go baq to office. then his wife asked him why didnt he go back to office since they needed him.

he was very clear of what he was doing. he said no because he felt that work and opportunities will always come again. however, lost childhood wont. so, he has decided to keep to his promise and spend the day happily with the family, without worries of work.

after reading that, i realise that in life, its really easy to prioritize things wrongly. its very easy to be very busy, doing alot of things eficiently bt nt effectively. too soon we’ll realise that we’v been climbing up the ladder that leans against the wrong wall! how fun. climb up, oops! sala! then climb down again. and frantically, we try to climb up another wall. and u tell urself ‘ok! new wall. this mus be it!’. climb up, realise its the wrong wall. and u probably repeat this cycle 10 million times till u got urself onto the right wall. however, some may not live to that age to climb up the right wall. they may die, while their ladder is still leaning against the wrong wall. some may eventually find the right wall, but when they die, when they eventually leave this world, they may bring with them lots of regrets.

all the ‘why didnt i..’

alot of things dont come twice. like, youth, love, and opportunity to learn.

just now i was thinking abt the styrofoam plates and bowls in ntu and i feel dam pissed. so, i wrote an email to su guan ning. haha. to complain and to provide solutions to green movement in ntu. i hope he doesnt swallow my sch fees after reading tt. that would be utterly disastrous. hahahha

i suggested that he make a particular day of the week a bring-yr-lunchbox day. eg, friday. so canteens dun use styrofoam plates and bowls. instead, the student/staff gotta bring their own lunchbox, or, pay to get to use styrofoam bowls.

talking abt lunchbox, i feel quite pissed tt mine got used to store tomatoes and lettuce..its now sitting in the fridge. wallau lei, mY lunch box ehs.. =T haha! i m gg to use it when sch reopens.

fcuked up styrofoam plates.

yeay! just came back from school. i played frisbee with my coursemates today. it was, whoot! fun!!

okay i must first admit that i m a bad throw-er, bad receiver. but it was still quite fun lar. i think it must haf been cos i was too slack so i felt tt it was leisurely fun.

later i m gg back school(agn, ntu, pls dun hate me for returning to sch a zillion times) for steamboat with my clique frens. haha i realise sth. iwas hunting for steamboat pots at home when i chanced upon dis cabinet that has 4 steamboat pots inside!!! wallau lei. i dint know i haf so many siahs!!! i felt like alice in wonderland. found out such li jing stuffs

wth. and my mom alw only use one lor. so i took them all out, and tested them. i plugged em to the wall socket, turned it on( ok, not that sense), and gosh. they are all in fine working condition!!

no need buy so many!! use 1 de rest all white elephants alr. 

i tot 3 out of 4 are the faulty ones, but it turned out to be all so fine. ok, nex time u wanna buy 2nd hand ones can buy from meh!

i charge u cheap cheap! okay, gotta discuss w my mom first. cos she loves collecting stuff. she loves collecting steamboat pots i guess. another ‘collectibles’ are things like PLASTIC BAGS, RECYLING BAGS. you know, ppl collect bags from LV, Loewe, my mom collects ‘bags’ from ntuc, bee cheng hiang, etc.

well, ppl collect stamps. so i guess steamboat pots are the next IN thing.

ARE

YOU

GAME?!?!?!

YOUTHS, start collecting steamboat pots!!

perm perms. temp perms. how come its so much difference???

i had temporary curls before and it looked fab. now, with my perm curls i look like some1’s mom.

yes, some1’s mom!! dun look to ur sides. yes, its u. i am your mom, man!

i shld haf known. ppl haf alr commented tt i look old. thats when i had straight hair. so why on earth did i perm my hair!!! hahaha

biach.

irreversible! my long hair has shrunk(in terms of apparent length), and it looks short, curly, and absolutely aunty-ish. not to the extent of looking like rosie, but somewhat like that lar. lau lei.

dun laugh when u see me. if not, i m gonna pounce on you and rip off your clothes!!! hahaha. i am sure i m gonna do that if u antagonise me.

keke x then i will take videos of u trying to wear back ur clothes and put on YOUTUBE hor. dun pray pray. oh shit, did i just behave like a terrorist. i dun mean it!

Girls, look arnd u.

DO u see some1 hot? Imagine walking with ur bf into a shop. You see this girl in sky-high heels. her figure is superb. she’s dressed in a petite dress with beautiful details. her smile is, woooot, sweet. big eyes, flawless porcelain skin. you salivate (ok that is exaggerating!)

ur guy is beside u. u KNOW ur bf wouldnt look at the girl. u KNOW that ur bf isnt that sort. u brush off the idea that he could be looking at that hot babe.

well, think twice (gosh, i think guys who are attached wld box me upon reading this!)

do u really think that is happening? (anw, yc i not talking abt u! bt guys in general)

i feel that alot of guys are just merely horny SHITS.

one whole lump of junk that is perishable.

after wasting ur precious golden youth, they dump you when ur looks are all gone.

well, you never know. probably you’ve picked up the most precious piece of gem.

so, how to tell if ur bf is really a JUNK? true blue, junk.

haha the ans is. i dunno!!! well, the naked truth is, we girls are all susceptible to junks lar, to be frank. we cant tell who are the junk!! we cant tell who are the gems!! i have experienced guys who look like a gem, but turned out to be extremely rotten. well , got maggots. u wanna fry it to eat? haha. oh sorry i dint harvest the maggots yea.

so, the fact is that, succint differentiation of junk and gem is extremely difficult, esp given the fact that the scam market is booming. ha! eh i so smart also kena fooled lor.

ok! the essence of this entry is that, i really hope that we ladies can grow to be strong internally. we must be strong. we do not know what will happen. we cant read our lives like a book. however, we can be sure that the future is more stable if we have strong faith, strong character, and a group of reliable frens.

those are what we NEED. its more worthwhile to invest in building ur internal strength. dam all those sweet promises. DAMN THEM. okay that sounded really hostile and i realise i m becoming v not-objective. haha. sorry sorry. OFF TANGENT!! *STEERS BACK*

i mean, if u are a strong lady, u will exude vibrance and beauty. something that going under the knife cant offer. something that is more lasting than botox, than.. uhh, i dunno. therefore, being strong also can contribute positively to building ur relationship. ur partner will be assured that u can be there for him, and is the most ups and reliable diamond.

on the other hand, if ur man leaves u. u can be sure that ur life will never haf been better. with ur internal strength, u overcome challenges in life, u are happy, and u are eventually successful.

of cos, dun tell me u will miss him occassionally!!  that is normal. but, what the fuck. that thought is extremely self defeating and is totally not contributing to ur happiness. if he really loved you, he wouldnt have dumped u, find a mistress, find a shit excuse to chase after transient earthly desires.

let’s all be strong women.

guys, if u read this, i dun mean to be a sexist ok. but u guys are too.. *clears throat* haha ok lar, u wanna haf mistress, can. u wanna dump girls, can. u wanna do anithing, ALSO CAN!!

just do it, babe. we girls can take it. as mao ze dong has said, women can hold up half a sky. u know whr does the other half of the sky go? i dunno. you tell me. leave a comment. i welcome hostile comments too, if u say u dun look at hot cheerleaders, dun participate in porn-watching, dun fantasize abt i dunno, FHM girls?!?!  (haha!! but try not to lar. make peace!!!)

lol. i must admit, this is truly a trashy entry. but i truly believe in internal strength of girls. my mom survived my dad’s infidelity (they are OKAY now). i m f-king gonna survive my husband’s infidelity too(if thr is one?).

sorry for swearing. that is qianru. haha guess my GP tutor must be dam pissed w me for writing such a toilet-paper entry. *prays she doesnt visit frenster*

today i had a small chat with this fren of mine. we saw a picture of this girl whom the both of us sorta know. and she told me sth ugly.

well, it wasnt a bitching session, but rather, a sharing of an odd encounter.

it was one of our core modules tutorials. she was attending the tut. the test papers for mid term was given out. the entire paper was supposed to be upon 100, however, the prof made an error and the paper turned out to be over 101. so, the prof had to scale down the weightage of one qn from 7M to 6M for simpler administrative procedures. it just makes better sense of correctg the weightage, dun u agree?i am sure u’ld do likewise if u were in the prof’s position.

therefore, the prof gave everyone who ans-d the qn correctly, a 6M instead of what was written in the papers, a 7M. of cos, by contract law, not supposed to breach right. but who cares, its JUST MID TERM. chill it,babe.

Guess what.

I didnt realise tt. i saw my overall marks and i was not paying attention to such microscopic deviation. however, this girl did. she was rather pissified w the prof and she sort of confronted the prof, asking him why did he reduce the marks (of cos, for administrative simplification). then he explained that every1 else did get the same score as she did, so there was nothing to worry about. and she rebutted by questioning "how could you take away something that is Mine???"  well, guess what. the prof gave her that tiny weenie 1 mark.

frankly, 1 mark is microscopic. it really is. not that her grades were bad and desparately needed that one mark to pull up her grades. if it were that case, any one would be able to understand her anguish and her defensiveness.

however, its far from that. her grades ARE good. so, for what reason did she question the prof, with such XXXXX???

i see no reason in that. frankly, 1 mark doesnt make a diff to her grades. A or A+, it amounts to be same. well, if she says that that 1 mark enables her to climb the ladder with greater ease, then, it warrants sufficient ‘reasons’ to be pissed and blast the prof. but i dun think that its really that important. come on, we haf a zillion modules to clear. will that one mark, out of one module make such an impact to yr dearest career? i doubt.

well, sometimes, we tend to be so results oriented that we forget that every1 are just like us. we are humans. we have feelings, and we need ppl to respect us. she could have been more ’subtle’ in her attack, right.ha. of cos i m not trying to encourage attacking of profs. afterall, they are wise ppl. (eh, ppl Dr lehhh)

afterall, he is so old, all the more we shld gif him the respect.

after hearing what my fren said, i feel really quite . ugggh. and she also commented that during the tuts, she’ld keep engaging in intense prof-hogging. i.e. keep asking questions. well, asking question is good. but excessive ba4 zhan4 of other ppl’s opportunity doesnt seem very kind huh.

okay, i must say, during tuts i also got ask qns la! but, i dun think i m that aggressive and conspicuous. well well..

I am not writing this entry to bitch. rather, i hope that we can remember tht profs are educators, they are not teeeeeachers. you canT expect so much out of them, right. yea i mean, hell yea, we are paying our sch fees, sch fees’ ex. but, so wad? u wanna squeeze every cent’s worth, i know, but the procedure of squeezing d worth of ur 6.4k/yr education has to be with tact!

they are not our slaves. well, at least not that i know of such highly paid slaves. haha. so, lets just treat them NICE NICE!!! i think that the old prof is rather cute lar, no offense and pls dun puke!! (else u gotta clean ur monitor. shakes head* not a great idea)
