GRAHHHHHHH. For some reason, nowadays I get bored super fast and super easily. 1) I need to curb my spending so I don't really go check out clothes online anymore and 2) there aren't many things online that i haven't already looked at anyway. And isn't the internet supposed to be FAST? Everything moves so slowly! Hahaha, I'm sorry, boredom breeds impatience, you know. It's so sad, I actually spend my days looking forward to nothing but driving lessons. There was a time when my email account was brimming with new emails everytime I checked but I think now that I check it way too often, there usually isn't anything in it ): HELPPPP. And yet I'm too lazy to do a lot of things - go out, for instance. Haha, I'm such a nasty dilemma.

In fact, my boredom is prolly one of the reasons why I revived my LJ account, right? ): The only thing that moves fast on the Internet shopping scene are those sell/trade pages but that's bad cos the faster it moves, that means if you're trying to sell something, the faster your post disappears off the front page and the lesser your chances of selling it off. PFFFTTT.

I got my Old Navy Henleys and my JJS shorts in the mail today! (: I think they gave me my alternative item for Old Navy because I distinctly remember ordering purple Cassis colour but they gave me the brownish Indian Clay colour. I don't remember reading anything about my item being OOS in the updates! 0.o oh wells. I think I should check back hum. Other than that, I realise the henleys are only good for layering because it's waaaay too low to wear without anything underneath, if I wanna protect my modesty haha.

I'd find a picture, but Old Navy took it off their website. Went out of stock, I think. Oh well, I shan't pursue the matter. My JJS shorts were quite tight but they're quite awesome when worn though! (:

You know, I don't even really enjoy how my life revolves around shopping but I really have nothing else better to do ): Maybe I should take up cross-stitching or something. Or horse-riding. Or drumming. All these things that I actually WANT to do but I never find the end of my procrastination in actually getting off my butt and doing it. Hahahaha. BAHHHH. And I have another 4 months left till university. :\ Sometimes I almost can't wait for university to start. Hahahaha. I think it's better than sitting around rotting. MAYBE. Maybe by the end of this year I'll be slapping myself for saying that.

My driving test is NEXT WEDNESDAYYYY!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I'm trying to convince myself I have nothing to be afraid of and as long as I stop speeding in the circuit and be more daring on the road, I'd be fine. Yes. :\

HOKAY. Will go find something better to do. Like eating chips or wasting my life in front of the TV. Sounds like a plan! (:

SUHWEEEEET. I'm really lovin' Mozilla Firefox! (: It keeps me safe, protected and gives me a lot more options and stuff. Plus, it's a lot less of a hassle to install than IE10. Hahaha. No, this is not an advertisement. I am really Mandy, I am not an automated advertising robot. (:

I've been shopping WAAAY too much recently. ): liao says she has owned me this month. RARRRR. OK, i am really seriously going to curb myself in May, OK? I thought I was bad in March but April, so far, has been far worse. But I mean, look at this! I bought this sweet wallet this afternoon:

    

Don't you think it's cute? Hahaha it's the Floral Hinge Wallet straight from Forever21.com. So far I've paid S$10.50 for it. No idea why I'm typing a blog entry because nobody really reads my blog anyway. Not since it became inactive shortly after Outvestiture, as it seems.

Law test was all right! It was way better than the Interview, that's for sure. Not too certain if I'd be able to get in, but I guess that's not up to me to decide right now, so I'm just thinking about driving test right now. Mag's is tomorrow! LOL. Good luck, Maggie. If you pass, I have a new driver to bully. Medicine test was apparently quite a toughie too. All these admission tests! University seems to be really quite terrible manzzz. But thankfully, I'm done with all these Uni prep stuff. Medicine people still have 2 rounds of interviews to go through. Good luck, yall! Hahaha.

These are the other things I've bought from F21 in April




And, of course, the Floral Hinge Wallet already featured up there. I'd do a review of what I've bought so far in April but a lot of things have gone OOS on their respective websites, so there aren't any pictures available. Forever21 doesn't seem to ever go OOS. =\ If you noticed a trend, you'd realise that I have a weird rainbow obsession as liao would know very well. I'm drawn to all things rainbow. Hahahaha. Sounds kinda freaky actually, but sadly true.

OK, I think I'll go find some other pointless way to fill my time THAT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE SPENDING MONEY. Toodles!

magash i was reading through all these entries and you know how amusing it is to read through old blog entries. it's like... looking at yourself some time back and it's always embarrassing for some reason. :\ hahahaha. i'm thinking of selling off some of my old stuff here! but NOBODY READS MY BLOG. SO WHO'D BUY IT??? XD okay la, we'd see how eh? (: i need to change the font of this thing. i hate this font!

I AM OFFICIALLY ADDICTED TO ONLINE SHOPPIN'!

oh dear. we just had our last investiture rehearsal today. throughout the entire process of rehearsals and walk-ins and whatnot, i've never felt emo at all. like okay i felt a bit, 'omgad outvestiture is coming' but i knew i was subconsciously in denial about the whole thing. even when our tribute video aired on friday assembly and made miss yong, mrs chang and mrs chan our principal cry, even when maggie and timo made their last announcements together, even during today's full-dressed rehearsals, i didn't get emo at all. then i came home and watched the tribute video again because desmond and darren uploaded it onto youtube, watched the last bit with all the flying photos twice, suddenly i got slammed back into reality and i started crying.

now i shall copy aaron and paste emo lyrics on my blog. this is photograph by nickelback, but with some lyric changes by me.

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Ollie’s head?

This is where I grew up
I think the present council fixed it up
I never knew we ever went without
The front door is hard for sneakin’ out

This is where I went to school
Most of the time it was more like a zoo
The school record says I got locked in twice
I must’ve done it half a dozen times

I wonder if it’s too soon
Should I go back and crash the room
Life’s better now than it was back then
If I was them, I wouldn’t let me in

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on the council room floor
It’s hard to say it
Time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for

It's hard to say it
Time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Remember the old candeck
Where all of us always went to slack
Every morning before assembly
Before we got chased for morning duty

We used to listen to the iMac
And sing along with every song we’d know
We said someday we’d find out how it feels
To walk down the aisle in court heels

Kalai's the first person I dissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She’s had a couple of comebacks since then
I haven’t seen her since God knows when

I miss that room
I miss their faces
You can’t erase
You can’t replace it
I miss it now
I can’t believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Every time I do it makes me

whoo! emofest! ):

WHOOOOO!!!
guess who finally watched harry potter and the order of the phoenix? (: okay lah, i know i'm not the first and i know ten thousand people watched the sneaks before me. but who cares! :D

yups, i went to meet pek kei after school at lido. had a ball gossiping about stuff, before we finally went into the theatre. when the warner brothers logo flashing up and the usual harry potter music drummed up, the whole theatre started cheering like it was some kind of interschool competition or something. this group even shouted, "WE LOVE HARRY POTTER!!!" i was feeling extremely amused.

the movie was actually rather cool, despite how i've heard a couple of people saying that it "sucks" or was "disappointing". but at least to me and pek kei, it was quite good, better than the 3rd and 4th one too. much truer to the book, we felt. even though the action was a bit fast but i mean, c'mon, the 5th book is even thicker than the 4th, if the action wasn't fast we'd still be in the theatre now.

i actually really wouldn't mind watching it again, if you ask me. pek kei was extremely violent when it came to the kissing scene. i think i'm gonna bruise on my left arm tomorrow, she kept punching and pinching me like there was no tomorrow, and making such a big fuss. i was like hissing, "pek kei, you are being very embarrassing." because she kept making strange noises (and rather loudly) like she was trying to stop herself from imploding simultaneously from hysterics. hahaha.

BUT OMGAD IT WAS THE COOLEST SHIZ!! (: i think ginny and hermione looks rather good in that poster over there, and luna lovegood was better than expected. she had that dazed, 'huh?' tone all the time, which was really good. daniel radcliffe buffed up and he looks like a man now, especially with that office hairstyle. hahaha. ron was as funny as ever.

on a more emo note, tomorrow is the last day of council badgeship! i think this is a valid reason to begin mourning now. ): and tomorrow's a short day too. last time its rectangularity will be accompanying me in lessons, in breaks, in an official school day. last time its heaviness will be weighing down on my mind. last time i see the gold SHINE, last time i hear the weird clacking that it makes when it hits the table edge. hahahaha. i make it sound like i'm saying goodbye to an old friend, which is rather true. time for some nostalgia...

i remember i had no idea what was in the envelope they gave us during investiture, so when i opened it and the rectangular badge popped out, i was extremely delighted. it was in the canteen girls toilet where all of us 31st girls were changing out of our number ones into school uniform. i remember we had an official putting-on ceremony in that toilet, in front of the mirror, where we started humming some grand DUMDUMDUMDUM music, slowly and ceremonially putting on the badge.

when i went out, everyone was like, "whoaaaaa finally got your badge eh!" and all. i was in LOVE with that badge. and i remember there was a bit of a hoo-ha about why some of our fonts are different. some of us have thinner, longer font while others, like me, have the fatter, stouter one. if you ask me, i think the thicker one looks nicer, but we kinda figured out it might've something to do with height because all the taller people in council got the thinner ones.

and what's more, jun wrote on a piece of paper, tore it out and pasted on his badge such that he became 'PRESIDENT'. always will be, jun! president against popular belief, of course. and that weird day not very long ago when timothy wore the member badge to school, for goodness knows what reason.

and of course, tomorrow's the very last day that maggie/timo/both will be doing announcements, saying, "good morning college, here are today's announcements" and "college, this is the end of assembly, please rise". i remember last year the friday before investiture, i think it was shaun sitting and i was like, aww does that mean clarence's last time was yesterday? then when shaun stood up to go read announcements, clarence popped out from behind the curtains and they took turns reading alternate announcements, and finally they both went, "1, 2, 3. college, this is the end of assembly, please rise" i wonder if maggie and timo will do that this year. it'll be so sad!!

okay i think my entry's becoming like a story-telling session. shall go grieve by myself. hahaha! four more days!

w-ell! it's been a really rather boring weekend, except for the CIP stuff that i have going on.

i found some rather interesting links on wikipedia. i was searching up on something when i found parody religions like, Pastafarianism, the Invisible Pink Unicorn and Frisbeetarianism. they're all really funny and lame, but i can't believe people would actually take up such a religion. i mean, believing that a Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe after 'drinking too much'? and saying 'Ramen' instead of 'Amen' after prayers? that's just so weird!

i've been bitten by a frisbee bug lately. and no i have not joined Ultimate, everyone keeps asking me that. i don't know, i guess i don't really like to play the game much but i really love to throw and catch. i've been throwing with rachael every tuesday and thursday but now that i've bought my very own disc (awesolomeee!) i can throw anytime i want! in fact, my cousin is coming over tomorrow to throw with me at the park opposite namly garden. i threw it around the candeck today with lydia, dharsh and bennett, and my beautiful brand new frisbee disc is getting scratched and shaved. sobs.

the exco went for their retreat yesterday, and i think they're coming back tomorrow. rather interesting, we were talking about Jobs That Maggie Just Cannot Handle yesterday during our break. initially it was behind her back, then she came and asked why we were hollering with laughter, juli was like, "nothing, maggie, we were talking about jobs that you CAN do. (: like CEO, President, Mother, Housewife..." then maggie made us list out the occupations we were discussing. it includes hairdresser (because she's only ever had one hairstyle in her life), graphic/fashion designer (i don't even want to explain this one), bikini model (hahahaha), pole dancer, professional choreographer, musician (her grade 8 piano certificate does not equate to musicality), journalist, author or anything else in which aesthetics or linguistics play a major role in. poor maggie, and we all thought she was invincible.

yupes. i can't wait till tomorrow! (: bleh. boring weekend.

NINE MORE DAYS, ZOMGAD.

lols, i was just digging around my council file, searching for some ahem lost minutes, and i found these. and seeing as it's almost been a year since i got them, i decided to scan them in for fun's sake.


what preluded the tortures of june camp.


what we discreetly stuffed into the inner pockets of our blazers in that second behind the curtains after going on stage.


what came with the wonderful council badge.

LOLS. how nostalgic. i wonder what our tokens of appreciation would be.

this is a special newsflash, to tell you that:
YAP CHIN HUA SUCKS!!
and that's a fact. (:

yesterday after school, i met aaron at the bus-stop and we were going the same way so we went to holland village to buy my hokkien-mee-without-taogay. he was supposed to meet his class AT holland village, but then he decided he'd go town instead - out of the blue! but anyways, on the way to the bus-stop he bought a packet of fries and tempted me with it - yes i'm on a sort-of health kick lately which basically means i'm laying off chips to eat peanuts - and when i refused on the basis that i don't want to become more unhealthy than i already am, he was saying, "life is too short anyway! you live 60 years of junk food and you get an eternity of happiness!" WHICH MAKES PERFECT SENSE, YOU SEE. according to him, Bible Studies boy, he says in the Bible, God states that all these animals can be eaten by us humans, and when Peter said, but some of these are dirty, God says that it's okay, we can still eat them anyway. ... JUNK FOOD!

so yeah, i'm thanking him for giving me an entirely new perspective. stuff myself silly with unhealthies, die and go to Heaven. XD! why not.

i tried to download IE 10 but unfortunately i only realised AFTER i took the time to install it (it takes really really long) that i don't have enough speed for it. ): i had to restore my computer. urgh.

AGM's tomorrow! it's quite exciting, like dhanuj has said. it's like an overview, round-up of our council term. but in any case, i'm having very mixed feelings about starting investiture adhoc. i'm really excited to plunge into the whole new experience of being in the senior invest adhoc, and of being IN an adhoc, but it's really saddening because it's like my LAST ADHOC, and the last ever adhoc in council, and it signifies the impending end. RAWR.

ah wells.

kudos to anyone who can guess this song. julianne is forbidden to try. (:
did you get my message? uh oh, it must have bypassed your phone and flew right outta the window.

i seem to be eating loads of potato chips recently (for those of you who just said/thought, "what's new?" - slap yourselves!) and of course, it was kind of worrying. although my metabolism does seem to be a bit higher than normal but obviously i don't want to suddenly explode into a glob of fat. so then i switched to my second favourite snack - PEANUTS! or rather, roasted groundnuts. but this has also started me on another path - are peanuts or potato chips healthier?

i went to research up on it, and apparently, peanuts contain a high level of antioxidants, which are sort of anti-aging, in a way. the levels of antioxidants are parring that of the strawberry. there are, much to my surprise, quite a good number of health benefits to be gained from eating this. goodness, even apple falls below peanuts in antioxidant levels. i've been eating lotsa apples lately to try and recover my dietary fibre loss. (:

well, anyway. that was rather pointless. i still want potato chips though, but i'm trying to curb it. peanuts is still fattening, but i suspect that it's prolly not as terrible as potato chips. but hey man, peanuts doesn't have oil and all that, and it has antioxidants! and it's cheaper! hahaha! what a perfect solution.

omgad omgad hahaha. what a cute layout this is. i don't like the font but omgad it's cute and purple!

once again, i reiterate - i am not bimbo. just in case people out there have misconceptions.
