Chewren.

Celebrities aren't the only ones gettin creative with insane, totally OTT baby names. In a class of 20 little brats, we have the following names:

Gramien (is that some new type of bread?)
Bevin (girl? boy? Or some magical land bunny?)
Daxson (a kind of name an ah beng would give himself)
Shevelle (are you secretly french?)
Levion (star trek)
Jerricho (and I kept wondering why the other teachers were calling this kid by his full name, you know, jerry koh)
Gwyneth (tsk. whatever.)
Thirapat (HUH? okay maybe he's not local)
Colette ( your future cheerleader)
Angie Autumn (SERIOUSLY.)

and then theres this boy whose chinese name is swee hun. nothing special, except that it sounds suspiciously like 'sweetheart'. urgh.

still, still, there's your classic SARAH.

Don't bother with Chloe, because there are already a few, it's not so unique as you think anymore.

After watching Friends (again), I'm starting to think Pheobe sounds pretty cute.

sitting and staring at the waves today feels like taking a long calming breath before jumping into this insanity that is called life. It's going to get pretty busy. I'm so scared yet excited all at the same time.

I'd better not feel lazy and give up halfway. slap me if I do so!

p.s: guitar heroes are in the house =))) COME PLAY!

science centre!

going back to the science centre today after a kazillion years was definitely interesting. all the memories I ever had of that place was in flashes, because I was just running around, and the sound of tumping footsteps on the floor. Running around, running around. pressing everything. that's all I remember. well jess was still pressing every button in her sight at this age. my brain hurts from all those optical illusions and hypnotising mind games they put us through.

a little bit dazed and dizzy, we went on the the Da Vinci exhibition. whichh was pretty awesomes. all I can say is that, that guy is seriously...imaginative. and smart too, of course. because being imaginative without being smart just makes you a dreamer. I wonder if he'd been born now, with all our technology already existing, what he would have come up with. and tell us what the deal is with the Mona Lisa so everyone can stop fussing about it. I am pretty sick of that piece, seriously. but still, i suggest everyone to go see the whole exhibition, it's really inspiring.

now IMAX, was where I died. that huge ass screen that fills up as far as your eye can see. i was excited. and then 30mins into the show (which was about being in space which i love) I got this huge headache, and a growing urge to puke. Too old for this I tell ya, my brain cannot take this much information at such a large scale for too long. It was just too overwhelming. yeah I know, I suck. but then again it could have just been what I ate earlier that's not agreeing with me.

Post of useless information I've learnt from watching TV.

Underpants radius is a term introduced in How I Met Your Mother, when Marshall was out of job, describing how far one away from the bedroom one wears his boxers. For example, the furthest Marshall went was to a restaurant in his boxers. It is a indication of one giving up on life when not even bothering to put on pants when they wake up. The longer the duration of unemployment, the lower the self-esteem, the bigger the underpants radius.


The biggest mall on earth is Edmonton Mall in Canada. It has 2 hotels, one amusement park, one water park, one aquarium, one ice-skating rink, more than 800 stores and services, and over 100 restuarants. It's size is equivalent of 48 city blocks.

Take that, vivocity!

Broken heart syndrome, is a real medical condition, in which intense emotional or physical stress can cause rapid and severe heart muscle weakness. This condition can occur following a variety of emotional stressors such as grief (e.g. death of a loved one), fear, extreme anger, and surprise. It can also occur following numerous physical stressors to the body. Patients with stress cardiomyopathy can have similar symptoms to patients with a heart attack including chest pain, shortness of breath, congestive heart failure, and low blood pressure. Things you learn from House!

The Graduate.

I bought a new shirt.
My dad went to buy a new shirt, and he hadn't shopped in years.
My dad checks the invitation card for the millionth time.
My mum took an hour (with me in the room) to pick out what dress to wear.
My mum brought out her expensive jewellery.
My mum was ironing everything furiously.
My brother decides to try on his own graduation gown also.
(He claims his is nicer. which I have to admit is true.)
My brother is forced to sit at Holland village tomorrow until I'm done with the ceremony,
then we can all go for a nice lunch! (:

Yess, I am excited. like getting married dey!

I feel like I'm in a spaaa. awesomes :D

Be still.

all these going around and having to meet people and rushing for movies, for dinners, for drinks is exhausting and actually all I really wanna do is sit somewhere with a few close friends for a long time and to just chat. But I am broke so I sit at home.

you know, I think there was somewhere we learnt in psych that our memories cannot be trusted, and the more we think about our memories, the more we distort them to the point that they suit how we would like to remember them. So we imagine things, things that weren't there, things that didn't really happen, and attach emotions when there weren't any. I think too much, I should stop thinking and start stoning more often. yeah spacing out is fun, I used to do that a lot.
