eee
im feeling homesick. i mean. how much fun can u possibly have hanging out with ur parents everyday rite? -.- at first i was fine with all this cos it just seemed like a (really long) holiday. but we've just moved upstairs (FINALLY.) and my room is starting to look like a room! heh. im proud of myself for shifting the bed stuff frm downstairs to upstairs all by myself. -grin.
haha and i only did it in 2 trips! haha
first i folded up the blanket into like half the size of my body. den i put e pillows stacked up and next to the blanket. den undid the bedsheets and voila! i rolled it all up into a ball. HAHA i walked arnd showing my parents my "bed in a ball" hahah. =D
anyway den i still had like 4 other bags ( my dad helped me with my suitcase heh ) and i din feel like making so many trips so i carried all four at once. (hehe) my yellow skl bag on my back, the orange stripey bag on my shoulder, a shoebox overflowing with stuff and couldn't close under my other arm and carry this big trolley bag in front of me haha. i nearly toppled over backwards on the staircase on e way up a couple of times. hee. at least i made it?
anyway i'm so HAPPY. guess what we found! guess! guess! u'll never guess =)) haha a chinese supermarket!!!!! aaaah. -grins. haha i was sooo happy. hahah i was getting all excited. we bought fried rice, har gow, some other dim sum, seaweed (yay) wang wang (sp? they spelt it want want but it looked wrong.. lol) buiscuits, and that sugercoated chinese snack buscuit thing. hee! that made my day. oh and soya bean milk! and loads of other stuff. and i got mochi ice cream too! hehehe. =D oh yea and we ate at this place called tapei tokyo and they actually have rather decent sushi. =)) and steamed fish and RICE ooo i miss rice. -grin. haha
i sound totally deprived.. haha
right anyway i haven't been doing much except gaining weight since i came here. haha i wanna go to e gym in skl tho. it sounds really cool. hehe (too tiring to type about it again. i think i alreadi did before?) but im not really lookin forward to skl.. mabbe it's just nerves. oh well. i can't wait to go back to s'pore for hols next year.
i can't wait for MARCH. you ij RMUN ppl had better come to new york!!! and visit washington! omg so close -grin. haha lala anyway i think i'd better go er.. do smth. haha im basically just tired of typing. haha
oh and u noe im seriously become really pathetic. haha im getting scared of everything. first i was really scared during this blackout and everything ( really everything ) was like pitch black and i couldn't really see anything until my dad found a torchlight. well even tt's kinda understandable but i've also been getting scared during my harry potter com game. hahaha.. my mum was sitting behind me when i was playing and then all the scary dementors were creeping up to me and i was like " oh no oh no oh no!! " and literally screamed. ( i think clara's influenced me. =p hehe jkjk) but anyway my mum was like "gillian, can u please try not to be a complete idiot." =( sniff. so mean. haha it's not my fault okay!! those dementors and skeletons are seriously hard to beat and i keep dying. sighh. but i've alreadi saved buckbeak! so now i just cant get past e dementors to save sirius. haha like as if u wanted to noe..
okay anyway ya i think im starting to kinda sorta almost open up a bit more! hahah i played soccer with this cute guy today.hahaha. before ya'll start thinking illy of me he's only in K2. haha
but he's super cute!!!he goes to the british skl here and has this cute british accent HEHE. lol he actually kicked the ball a lot further than me and i missed it a couple of times (pai sae pai sae.. :s haha ) the singaporean embassy ppl were there playing soccer.. i think it's a weekly thing so we joined them today for the first time. aww i get to see him every week! haha. =p i went runnin too since i've just been lazing on my butt since i came here. haha oh! in my new nike shoes! -grin! haha im so happy. i've been looking for these stupid nike shox for like 2 or 3 years now and i finally got it! yay. tho it's not the exact model i was lookin for but it's still nike shox. haha and im v v happy -grin. so yea my dad was playing with e embassy ppl and some of their kids and i ran, kicked a soccer ball with him and fought the mosquitoes. so gross okay this one huge one kept coming back to me. -.- lol oh yea and one of e guys there ( i think he's a year younger than me? ) looks like nicole (cheah)'s brother, Ian. haha i think i really am homesick..
wow this is a long post. =D my fingers are officially screwed now. lol
anyway cya'll soon. =))
thank you very much, now.
hie! this is gonna be a really short post cos im not on our own com. our internet wun be working til sat ( s'pore sun )
anyway so ya we just moved into our house on monday! -grin. my room looks kinda empty. all e stuff just came in boxes yesterday and there's still a bit of renovation gg on so we're confined to e basement. but the oldmaid's room im sleeping in is actually quite cosy. haha i spent like e majority of yest in there playing harry potter com game. haha =P since the movers and all were there and i hadnothing to do. i offered my help okay! my dad said he din need me so okay la. i din complain. =p hehe
hopefully i can move into my room soon. sigh im still looking for stuff to decorate it. so fun! haha
oh yea and i've decided to start practising writing in cursive again cos i think they ALL write in cursive here...so yea.:S oh no. lol.
im hungry. =(
thank you very much, now.
hello!
*the outing - read previous entry*
well unfortunately i wasn't in the exact mood i was hoping for. haha but i wasn't in a bad mood either. basically i was just seriously quiet. yes. very. haha if i were ever that quiet with any of you u'd probably think there was smth seriously wrong like i was gonna be sick or smth. ( to tell u e truth i was so nervous abt meeting them i wAs kinda sick in e beginning hahah ) but anyway I guess it went alrite. This girl reminds me of u, Prem. hahaha.
cos before we met rite, this guy followed her into the mrt ( they call it the metro here, i still say mrt lol ) and started telling her that he needed money to feed his children and what and in e end she ended up buying a fake pair of oakleys frm him for $10. lol den later she saw him using his handphone n' she felt really cheated n' all so she went arnd e whole day asking ppl if they wanted a pair of oakleys for $5 haha she went up to perfect strangers u noe. lol
she kept going after boy-scouts, trying to sell to them but they mainly either din hear here or gave weird looks. lol
anyway other than that we watched an imax film ( my eyes went a bit screwy after that.. ) n' ate smth at this jazz park thingy. haha which was quiet nice if u can ignore the bugs. -we sat on the grass under a tree-
anyway i still din talk much so i can't say it was extremely fun for me. but it was still fun. haha
they were all really friendly at least and now i noe some ppl hu'll be in my french, maths and pe classes too. yay! haha
okay yea but the fact still remains i was realli realli quiet. hahaha i think they think im dao. i tend to give ppl that impression on 1st accquaintance. (sp?) anyway i think i'd rather meet ppl in skl before i go out with them.. it felt..well. kinda weird today on the whole. like i was just following a bunch of ppl. it just felt strange.. haha
i was getting really homesick today cos yea.. i dunno but, u noe.. haha im not making sense. but seriously. im really homesick =( i miss all of you! *sniff.
u can ask my mum HAHA she keeps saying im so weird cos whenever we go shopping and we see asian ppl i'll whisper to her " look!! asians!! " hahahah.. den she'll look at me and say " ur so weird.. " hahah..
okok anyway i'll see ya'll soon =))
takkair!
thank you very much, now.
okay im going to have a more intelligent and serious post today. ( well.. sorta. i'll try haha =p )
well anyway since i've got here i've done nothing but meet new ppl and strangers and i've come to realise that i seriously seriously need to work on my people skills.
I'm really really quiet arnd strangers you know! ( i noe some of u will be doubting me -.- but im a really shy person okay! )
anyhow i'm even finding it kinda difficult to talk to the other Singaporeans here. :s i mean. wat on earth's wrong with me? *smacks myself.
as my mum said, ( tho i refuse to admit it to her hehe ) i need to open up a lot more.
I dunno why, it just feels a LOT harder talking to ppl other than my skl frens.
I hope i dun become like how i was before i came to P6.
In P3 when i first came back i was really really shy and quiet and i remember me refusing (politely, mind u haha) to sit at a table with the other girls altho they had alreadi asked me to join them and i said i didn't mind sitting alone (sheesh what a loner..lol)
anyway i just hope i dun end up like that again. =S
i have these random bouts of friendliness tho. haha i dunno how to explain it, but sometimes like im just friendlier and i dare to say/do things that i wun normally do. ( This can either turn out for the better or for the worse ) sometimes this mood makes me do things that i always want to do but don't dare to.
other times it makes me say things i'd never wanted to say at all and would never dream of saying it. den when i think back on it i realli can't forgive myself. baah
- i wonder why im being so serious today... i think it's cos i just watched this episode of Friends, e wan where Rachel was supposed to leave for Paris but Ross asked her to stay so she got off e plane and stayed on. and just before that i was reading all the letters and stuff ppl gave me before i left again so i was tearing. so i guess im just in that mood rite now. lol-
anyway so much for that.
I'm meeting some classmates from ncs tmrw. we're going to the mall ( as in THE mall. the space btwn the monuments and stuff la. not a shopping mall mall. haha )
yea and we're supposed to go paddle-boating or on the merry-go-round (my mum says it's really big) n' visit museums and have a picnic. haha
funny thing is we're only meeting at 4. wonder what time they plan to leave..?:S
anyway i just hope i do better with my ppl skills tmrw and that im in that mood which makes me do things for the better. *shudders. haha
wish me luck! ;p
*miss you all bundles*
thank you very much, now.
In your eyes I see you've been broken
And you shadow it hides from the sun
As a picture with words left unspoken
Are you wondering who you are
Do you ever think there's someone out there looking over you
Watching everything you do
Looking after you
Would you believe that I could be your guardian angel
Do you believe that this is true
If you say yes I'll fall and I will be able
to look at anyone so true
I love you
your thoughts get lost in the ocean
And your prides as strong as the sea
Your heart is blocked by a raincloud
Only Thunder and Rain can be seen
Do you ever think there's someone out there looking over you
Watching everything you do
Looking after you
Would you believe that I could be your guardian angel
Do you believe that this is true
If you say yes I'll fall and I will be able
to look at anyone so true
I love you
Say the words and I will be there
Hold my hand cause I am scared
You believe the world can be strange
Please take away my pain
Would you believe that I could be your guardian angel
Do you believe that this is true
If you say yes I'll fall and i will be able
to look at anyone so true
I love you, you, you, you
Do you believe that this is true
If you say yes I'll fall and i will be able
to look at anyone so true
I love you.
thank you very much, now.
hey! look i finally changed my skin! haha
i think it's kinda cool, even if u dun..haha
okay since i din exactly type much about washington in my last post i shall do it now hehe
anyway i thot i'd escaped e singapore weather but i come here to find myself in almost identical heat as back home. -.- grr... stupid.. haha i can't wait for fall to come. except when it does i'll be at skl. i hope the leaves fall off in our garden den we can rake it up and i'll go jump in e pile of leaves. wahaha. after checking for bugs and cockroaches and stuff of cos..
dumdeedum.. well firstly i think the house looks much smaller in real life than in the pics. the pictues make the living room look sooooooo nice and grand. but when i saw it i was kinda um. what's the word..disappointed? i guess.. haha cos it was really small. oh but the couches are super comfy. haha i fell asleep in it alreadi cos my parents were taking so long looking arnd it. anyway they started renovation to change the carpet on the floor cos it ws kinda stained. we shld be moving in there by next week? thnk goodness. im getting sick of this apartment.. -.- sigh haha i'll try to call ya'll when i move in ya?
oh yea im getting my hp this week i think.. their handphones here are seriously big. haha but oh well i'll live with it. cos it only cost $5 a month for unlimited sms!! hahaha.. when i saw that i was like grinning and the man at the shop said to my parents " look at her smile. " hahaha =D well i can't help it if i go over my sms limit can i.. oh yea and it's like free calls btwn ppl hu use the same brand ( called Verizon. kinda like singtel ) yep. so cool eih haha but otherwise the phone models are realli quite out-of-date. the wans in singapore are much funkier. lol
anyway we've been shopping arnd for things to decorate my room with n' all. i've been having fun trying out mattresses. -grin. so comfy. haha
okay errr what else happened..
oh yea we went to see the Ford's theatre, which is where abraham lincoln died. and we saw his blood stains on e pillow they used back then to put behind his head. : it was quite interesting really. oh yea den we crossed the road to " The house where Lincoln died " and walked thru e room where he realli died. it was so sad!
ugh this hotel is seriously hot. wonder what's wrong with the aircon..?
oh yea and we went to the spy museum too! it wasn't the best museum la..but it was quite interesting. about all the spies and the gadgets they use. but it was kinda crowded so i din get to try most of the computer activity thingys there.
oh but at the beginning of it all they said to choose an identity to use as ur "cover" thruout the tour. so I was
Carol Liu (i tried to find the most chinese name.. lol. easier.)
aged 42
born in santa Monica, California
living in the USA
destination : vanograd (sp?), Russia
reason for visit : vacation
duration of stay : 12 days
haha i can't believe i realli remembered that. anyway so later on in e tour they tested me on that * the computer that it.. * and i got all correct so they said good job and tHEn gave me another whoooole long mission with lotsa seriously complicated long words to memorise and said they'd test me again later. -.- i looked at it for a few seconds and gave up. hahah
i dun think im fit to be a spy. -grin. anyway i'd probably like burst out laffing half-way thru a stake out or smth.. hahah. =))
alrites um other than that.. nothing much? other than for seeing a bus catch fire.. i was realli paranoid abt gg onto e train after tt.. haha but it was quite interesting.. to see all e firemen putting out e fire. not that i thot it was cool to happen!! but it was more exciting than in singapore at least. haha there're fire alarms everywhere arnd here.. -.- lol it's quite freaky..
now we noe why sometimes on tv when ppl hear alrams on roads and all they dun realli respond..lalala
uumm i guess i have nth else to say. haha i have my home phone number alreadi if ya'll want it. but i can't put it up here for obvious reasons. haha so ya
email me kaes? bye! tc =)
thank you very much, now.

(spelling? i haven't been in skl for almost 2 months now..) haha but anyway the ending of the book was much more serious..to me at least. not that i din think sirius dying wasn't serious. ( haha. get it? serious, sirius? hahaha oh forget it. ) well anyway maybe this ending just seemed more dark to me cos i din believe she'd kill dumbly-doorr. lol poor old dumbly doorr. i still feel like crying a bit. haha i think im seriously going nuts in this stupid claustrophobic hotel room.. haha oh the strawberries here are really a not nicer than at home. -grin. outta point i noe but they really are! yawns.
