Do read this.

About Fond Memories Lest I forget all or any of you: To______ (changed from the former cause everyone was mistaken) Tall and Lanky Big Eyes Twinkly Eyes Pretty Eyes Puppy Eyes Middleman Mr Camel Yellow File Bashful (my current favourite) Thank you all for being such pleasant and tasty recollections. Alas! All vaguely good things must come to an end. hpdeskjette stamped at 8:29 AM with love + + + About Postal Orders Went to the Post Office today, to buy myself some Postal Orders to for some of my darling Chalet books. I love the Post Office... there is something so neat and orderly about the Post... such a starchy, tidy scent too... plus I love filling up forms for registered mail and queuing up to pay for stamps... and I love pasting stamps onto pretty brown envelope... Oh what fun!! But I digress... this post is supposed to be about Postal Orders (Hah!). Anyway, did you know that a Postal Order for £14 actually costs more than one for £15. Honestly... Well what can I say... the British... as much as I love them I must comment that this is too much... but then what else can you expect... they managed to lose a whole empire. Ah well... But then I mustn't blame them for that... their downfall was in dissing Israel... they really shouldn't have done that. And who knows... they may see soon see the error of their ways... at least I hope they will. hpdeskjette stamped at 6:38 AM with love + + + About Holding Hands Frankly I don't know why people like doing it... It's honestly quite disgusting... what if one or both have sweaty palms... and what about coarse hands... plus it's so... forward and immodest. I think "drawing her hand into his arm in a quiet proprietary fashion" is so much nicer, not to mention sweeter, more traditional and hygienic. (and yup... dearest Zixuan, got this inspiration off your blog in some fashion) hpdeskjette stamped at 11:04 PM with love + + + About A Whole Lot of Things Oh honestly... NUS... NTU... They're just as bad as the other... How on earth do you apply? The NTU website says nothing about how to apply if you've done NUS but not NTU... And the NUS website obviously won't say anything about it too... This is so dumb. Why oh why oh why did they have to change all the admission rigmarolic procedure during our year!!! That is why Singapore universities are far from being world-class institutions... Oh and to think I'm applying... *** "All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his" -Oscar Wilde That is one of my favourite quotes. And alas it is becoming true... I am becoming more and more about like my mother. Reproached my father for not indulging me more in the same tone and fashion my mother always uses, and which I hate. This is not good. Not that I am sorry. Her style's effective. *** I am sick and tired of people who link love with marriage. The two are clearly independent concepts. Not mutually exclusive, but definitely independent. Pay attention to Statistics lectures for goodness. *** Three months on and hundreds of dollars later, I'm still on my Chalet spree. This is slowly wiping away my secret savings (the one I should never touch, but just have around cause the notes look so pretty together)... But I unrepentantly stride on. One must think in the long term. I guess in the long term a few hundred won't matter. Oh I love counting in pounds and pence!! hpdeskjette stamped at 8:36 AM with love + + + About Dividers Simon said, "People either like you or hate you". How true! He is a divider, that boy... just like my darling Bush. But such an adorable divider!! All red and pink. And he tried to smile a charismatic smile tonight to garner votes, but failed... but he looked so adorable in failure that people would just go on and vote for him anyway... I swear, John Stevens gets his votes from indulgent women who want someone to mother and baby. And from intelligent men. hpdeskjette stamped at 6:51 AM with love + + + About Oprah I have the newest craze. Her name is Oprah Winfrey. She is good. The serious and the trival, she can do them all. For those of you who have SCV, catch her on StarWorld at 1pm, Mondays to Fridays. For those of you who don't, pity your sad selves and visit the link (newly-added) instead. I love reading up the food recipes and decorating tips and all. I need a life. hpdeskjette stamped at 7:18 AM with love + + + About Loneliness *Sigh* They are all leaving me... one by one by one... most of those I have laughed to, ran to, sulk to, cried to... they'll all be flying away... and only I shall be left... The years of bitter loneliness and solitude before me! The cruel emptiness that I must bear! hpdeskjette stamped at 7:48 AM with love + + + About Corruption Popped by my kylie-wylie's blog today... Ha ha... another soul corrupted... I am so pleased with myself... and indeed, hear hear my friends, why work now? This will be the last holidays you all have left to truly savour... the next many years of your life will be spent working, working... working. First the clothes, then the wedding, then the house, the car, the children... the mistress/lover... there's no end... only work, work and work....... and work... So my friends, embrace your freedom... it is no longer to be!! (unless you find a rich spouse of course! P.S. find a rich doctor if you can, apparently they become officers straight off, so you get a rich man, and an officer. Life can't get any better.) hpdeskjette stamped at 8:15 AM with love + + + About NUS Forgive me if I bitch but really... what a stupid webpage... sections and sections of "How to Apply" notes but WHERE ON EARTH is the the login portal??!! Oh honestly... what's the point of "minimal data entry" if you can't even enter anything!! And the English... weightage... weightage... there is no such word as weightage!!! It's weighting!!!!! Argh... The only consolation is that going to NUS will give me plenty of chances to hook a doctor... but come to think of it... I had two years in RJ and its overbloated med fac... Argh... should have thought of this earlier. I am not pleased. Hmph. hpdeskjette stamped at 6:57 AM with love + + + About Photos I swear... digital technology is the best thing since George Bush became President!!! Went to IMM that day to take passport photos. My goodness... The magic!! With a few clicks of the mouse my digital photo became pink of cheek and fair of face!!! The wonderful contrast from my usual yellow and sallow photos by normal photographers!! They could even erase untidy hairs and change background colours!!! I'm sold. It's digital for me forever!!! I never knew I was that good-looking! hpdeskjette stamped at 6:15 AM with love + + + About Resolutions I have realised that in all He does He has His purpose, and it is for us to find it and fulfill it. And mine is to live life proving that I deserved more than that abysmal grade I received, by all I do and say and think. hpdeskjette stamped at 9:48 PM with love + + + About Morals Contrary to what people think, I actually do know clearly what's right and what's wrong. But that doesn't mean I necessarily do what is correct. That is subject to my mood and conscience. hpdeskjette stamped at 8:08 AM with love + + + About Men and Boys All men are really just little boys, and all boys are like men. *** Today, whilst I sat cross-legged on the floor reading the newspapers, my little cousin trotted up behind me and gave me a hug from the back... then he walked to my side and gave me another big bear hug and whispered gently something which vaguely sounded like "I love you". Being the teaser I am licensed to be as his elder cousin, I turned to him, caught him and plopped him onto my lap, then asked in the sweetest tones, "What did you say? Say it again?" "I love you" repeated the little boy, more distinctly than before. "Really?", I questioned, "then have you missed me?" He looked vaguely flustered, then said, "Yee-es." I looked into his brown little eyes and asked how often he missed me. He looked back blankly, his face the very picture of a little boy who has just been caught in a lie, and who didn't know how to get himself out of it. Then he pecked me softly on the cheek and said, "Buy me chocolate next week, ok?". And wrestled out of my grasp before I could ask another question. *** Essentially, they'll lie and coax just to get you to give them whatever it is they want. That aside, my cousin has a bright future! hpdeskjette stamped at 8:37 AM with love + + + About Revelations Woke up at 7.22 in the morning, couldn't sleep, hence this post will be shown to have been stamped at an unearthly hour. That aside, couldn't sleep cause I remembered my results, tossed and turned feeling highly indignant and bitter. Anyway I've realised that this is a judgement on me, for too long I've looked down on a certain... type of people... and the lesson to be learnt is that they can and will beat you at your own game, or what you think to be your own game. So however... inept they seem... they actually are not. (Frankly, I know the vague outlines but haven't yet brought myself to attentively listen to the lecture, so some lucky chosen ones will still have the joyful priviledge of listening to me gripe. [Give me license... I've not even had 24 hours to attune myself yet]) Secondly, I've realised that this really and finally marks the end of my JC career. Some of you I may never see again in the course of my life, the rest of you will forever haunt my existence. Which of you does what? The coming years will tell and we can only ask that Providence will prove merciful. But I'm afraid that she has already decided that I shall never know again a few of you... Pity, I shall miss you. Fortunately, I feel sleepy again, so farewell! Farewell especially all of you who will never be again. Take care! hpdeskjette stamped at 3:45 PM with love + + + About Relationships so on and Forth You should never get attached. If there's anything I've learnt from numerous friends, it's that relationships are more trouble than they're worth. The sweet bloom of love may be exquisite and divine, but every flower fades... and wilts... and dies... And then, what is left? Only heartache and regret and void. What's the point? Love is not forever, nor is it exclusive. He/she may love you and you only today, but what of tomorrow? Love ceases (well, human love at any rate), love changes. In fact, love comes in three stages/forms: lust, some intermediate and long-term commitment [read up the Economist the Valentine's week issue], which means it is perfectly possible to be in love with more than one person at the same time. Hence I never want to be attached. I want just want to be married. In fact I think an arranged marriage, so long as it's to a rich-enough, nice-enough, good-looking-enough and smart-enough guy, is the most sensible and fortunate event that could ever befall me. It saves all the bother of awkward dates, trust-building, insecurity, having to work... the list goes on... plus if you only like your husband, not love him, it removes the trouble of being heartbroken when he cheats on you (one in two of all married couples will have an adulterous spouse at some point or another, these are the stats. Sad but true.) Good thing I have my third-last, second-last, last and so forth prospective husband choices ready. hpdeskjette stamped at 8:32 AM with love + + + |
