Today's girl:
Sandra Bullock.

I can't say why I like her so much, but like Hugh Grant and Sammi Cheng I've watched almost every single one of her films. Needless to say Two Weeks Notice starring Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock is one of favourite movies all-time.

She looked fabulous when she was skinny, but exudes a mature womanliness even though she has gained a bit of weight. Very sexy, very attractive, very seductive :)

But back to today.

Finally got our decisions!! Got what I really, really wanted, so I've been elated the entire day. Skipping to work, dancing here and there, hugging random people HAHA!

But now I have other problems. Does anyone wish to give me $350k and put me out of my misery?

I Like my Life

Hmm I resolve to post a picture of someone I like very much here regularly. Since I already posted a picture of Sammi yesterday, and here's one of Hugh Grant.



This man is 47 years old, just 3 youngers than my dad, and yet I find him inexcusably, irresistably attractive.

Just look at his eyes! How can anyone say he's not the sexiest man alive?

Everything about him - his flopsie hairdo, his thin, kissable lips, his sad, puppy eyes that make you want to run up to him, give him big hug and pledge your eternal devotion, his pure wit and intelligence, his very English accent...EVERYTHING!

And you know, those lines on his foreheads and his crow's feet? Just makes him even sexier.

I have this thing for older men :p

Admittedly, I have no life.

Sometimes, I get reminded that I live in a highly protected world. My life, as well as everyone surrounding me, lead clean, almost pristine lives. All of us went to good primary schools, got reasonable (or even excellent) scores and went to top secondary schools. We progressed from there, worked hard like our parents and our minds told us too, and made it to top junior colleges. From there, we made the most of our time, found valuable friends, joined all sorts of healthy activities like Students' Council or choir, did things that would only add to our portfolio. At the end of everything, we got our As and we're moving on to universities. The only difficulty is just which university. Harvard? Yale? or Oxford? PSC or SPH? Should I stay in NUS and move on to grad school?

To be honest, when I look back at my spotless, almost shining track record, I feel a sudden pang of claustrophobia. Do I want to be someone who, at my deathbed, remember life as just like that? Am I so afraid of making the wrong decisions now that I've turned into one of the clones whose sole purpose is to churn money for the economy?

Do we realise that there are people out there who don't lead the lives that we do? People our age who drop out of school and do all sorts of funny things, rather than study and "reach for their potential".

It's odd, because I like to read about them. They lead lives that are so different, I can never believe we belong to the same era, or even the same space.

They say funny people are actually really solemn and depressed inside. From the looks of it, I'm turning into one of them.

Influence

Haven't written about her in ages, I think, but she's still someone very close to my heart.




HC people probably don't know that I'm THAT crazy about her, but I really, really, really am. People I'm close to will know my room and my desk at TNP are like Sammi Shrines. I erected these poster holder things (cost me $100) just to place her posters! Her photos and posters are just pasted everywhere and placed all over my desk, her CDs placed chronologically in my cupboard. I even have a photo of her in my wallet!

In fact I was completely prepared to fly over to watch her in HK during May, but because the rest of F5 can't make it during those dates, I'll just have to settle with the DVD.

And I think I have been influenced by her over the 7 years. Her thoughts about life, her dressing and her simplistic sense of style. I just realised I have the face of a 16 year old and the taste of a 30 year old. Which is probably why I don't go to fareast and heeren, because everything's just too young!!

Took me pretty long to realise what kind of influence Ms Cheng has on me.

Well she managed to lose like 15-20kg to become what she is now, wonder if I'll ever do it.

Weekend

Weekend is over, and the army guys are back where they are, mostly in ocs, some in sispec and etc., so it's gonna be some time before we're gonna see all beloved friends again.

But I had the bestest weekend!

Had dinner on Friday night with The Dysfunctional One, The Ming, The Yan and The Qi. Technically I wasn't invited to that dinner, but I was too bored so I invited myself to it HAHA!! Anyway it was fun, because I hadn't seen them in AGES though I used to spend every day with them. We went to this pub place in Chinatown which is, apparently, quite famous and popular but because we went at about 7plus, the place was pretty empty. I had a mocktail while everyone else had alcohol, like Screaming Orgasm or some other shit, and Huiyan acty got a bit lightheaded HAHA!! That silly girl.

Saturday was great! I spent the entire afternoon with Shit after I had this hideous haircut. Because we shop at different places (Shit prefers the younger places), we had this whole stupid route planned out. We started at Far East where Shit could do her shopping, before moving to Taka for me, and then crossing over to the Paragon for me again and then going to the Heeren for her. But it was good! Despite all the waiting and compromising, it actually turned out to be a pretty productive trip! Shit bought a top and we both bought the same amazing sweaters from the same shop!! I love it so much I just can't bear to peel it off my skin heehee!!!

After our splurge/shopping trip, Shit and I went on to meet some people from Welco (omg I miss them so much although half of us are already in SACO) like Siqi (whom Daen still insists on calling boss-m'am), Daen, Haining (go ask him why he has a bandage thing on his chin!!), Gum, Mindy and Fuzzy Rong. Sadly Yunxiao didn't turn up, because he was going to!! We went to watch Bean, my favouritest guy in the world. And I thought it was hilarious!! Gloree thinks the jokes are too deliberate, but seriously it's BEAN!!!! Isn't the name BEAN deliberate enough?! But then again there were times when only Shit and I were laughing in the theatre, so perhaps we're just easily amused -.-

Sunday was interesting. I shopped arnd Marina from abt 2pm and crashed Bazhang's end-of-lunch at 3.30pm because I was bored out of my wits. Escorted Alice out to the taxi stand because she was feeling ill and her face was drained of colour. Had a 1.5 hour chat with Calcal after the rest of bazhang left before I met F5 for E's ballet Coppelia. It was pretty good!!! E was the Coppelia doll, so she had to stay real straight the whole time, and I thought she looked pretty freaky, but hey! She was a convincing doll heehee!!! But I kinda noticed something. When the male ballet dancer stopped, he'd clench his butt. Don't blame me!! Because I was sitting near the stage. Was he supposed to do that??? And I ALWAYS wonder, don't they feel self conscious wearing those suit things? Like exposing your entire, uhm, shape to the world. OK it seems watching endless ballets and arts performances has not made me more cultured -.-

Whee!

Whee!!!!

Saco Getaway was all fun and great, and I really, really wanted to blog about it, but I'm a bit lazy now. So those who want to read all about it should just go to Half's blog. Though of course it's not an accurate representation of what we did, since she so conveniently left out all the stupid things she did, like lean on the elevator buttons in the hotel, causing the idiotic lift to stop at every level before we reached -gasp- Level 16.

But since she is my favourite Half I won't expose her any further.

OK time for my hot date. Will be back in a bit.

I Love Mindy!

SACO Getaway countdown: 2 more days!!!!!!!

Excitement!

Ironically, now that exams are REALLY over, and we don't have to mug 24/7 anymore, everyone is busier than ever. What with all the work and all that, people can't find the time to meet anymore. Even blogs seem a bit quiet these days, so maybe the dude on ST was right, about blogs dying off this year. But maybe that's just us.

I shouldn't blog in the morning, it makes me slightly melancholic. Because I actually came online to say I'm super excited about this weekend! Finally, some sort of getaway!! Even if it isn't actually to anywhere, I'm gonna spend an entire weekend with 5 of my favourite people!!!! But we should think of how we're going to spend this holiday well. NO SHIT we CANNOT GO TO SENTOSA ON BOTH DAYS!!!

Applications for local universities have begun, and like Gloree said, it seems most people are ditching their plans to go overseas. I am one fine example. I applied to about 10 unis but I'm throwing all that away because I think I might be more suitable for Law than Lit.

God is one amazing, well, God, because He/She really moves in unpredictable patterns. It's like how I chose MG over NY last minute after my PSLE results, HC over AC after O Levels, and nwo Law over Lit after my A Levels, everything was done last minute. God may be trying to tell me something here haha, but I know He/She will always give me surprises. Unfortunately Law school is insanely competitive, so I'll just see what happens. Looking very much forward to attending Law School with Shit!!!!

Like Jiadi and I were saying yesterday, if everything works out well, we can very well open our own SACO Holdings, with a SACO Law Firm (Shit and I), SACO Hospital (with Jiadi and Cal at the helm), SACO Hotel (with Meat Low) and SACO Airlines (Rong). We can even have strong links to the Goverment because we will have Mindy HAHA and I don't know what Paul wants to do yet but maybe he can co-ordinate everything hehheh!!

Ang is so gonna froth at the mouth if that ever happens. HAHA!!

OK enough fantasizing during lunch time. Back to work.

A few days after

Despite my D for Dreadful I think I still did pretty ok. At least, since I've never gotten more than a single A! And yay I think my results are enough to get my anywhere I want (unless I screw the writing tests and interviews), except that I can no longer hope to get a scholarship.

But I am considering this other scholarship board.

I wonder how many unis I can get into though. So far I've applied to (excluding NUS) 10 universities oh my goodness!! And it's not the end because as I speak now I'm applying to NUS. I'm terribly sorry to all the teachers if I actually stay in NUS because they really spent a lot of time and effort writing all the recommendations and what not.

I've been considerably frustrated these days, because I really don't know what I want. It happens everytime, like when I was waiting to get into Secondary school I changed my mind last minute and went to MG instead, which turned out great. Then after dying to get into ACJC for 4 years I changed my mind AGAIN and got into HC, which also turned out to be an excellent experience, albeit different. Now even though I've been so set on journalism this whole while I'm starting to think if Law may be more suitable for me.

So basically I'm just plodding along, waiting to see what happens. Oh well.

The Day Before

It's always frightening The Day Before.

I was planning to go home early, take a hot warm bath and just sleep all the way tomorrow.

So I won't have to think of anything.

And now, because I've just finished writing 100cms (go buy on Sunday) and arranged 3 photoshoots, I'm so tired my eyeballs are about to fall out, and my head feels a bit heavier than the rest of my body, which is quite an achievement I must say, considering the amount of weight I have been putting on lately.

But I'm still in the office, because my story is still being cleared. Thank God everyone is really patient with me, because I think I wrote a pretty screwy story.

There're things to celebrate about though. For example, Sammi's new song is out!! It's called Long Live Love! And I've already downloaded a radio cap of the song, and I've been listening to it on repeat in the office. I'll so definitely buy the single or the mp3 when it's released because she has most definitely improved. It's not an easy song to sing.

Feels slightly surreal hearing her voice in a different song after 3 years though. It's pretty amazing, because when I heard her song was to be released on Wednesday (28/2) I immediately turned the HK radio on, and lo and behold, her voice came flooding in.

And I was like oh my is that Sammi! But her voice is unmistakable, not like some kiddy singers I might mention.

Her concert dates have also been confirmed, so I'm planning my trip down with F5 immediately! And Sammi is sweet enough to send her assistant Elinor to help fans buy tickets, so I'm pretty excited!!!! Have to order the tickets quickly :)

It's 1920 now. How many more hours?

But actually though I'm worried, I feel an odd sense of serenity inside. Like Bobbert and KennethKenneth said, I've already done all that I can. Of course, secretly I still hope for 3As, plus a B3 for GP, but what's the probability of THAT happening!

And I really hope all of us does well!! God bless all of you!
