commendation day + nike we run + op

i'm sorry i haven't been updating!
now i can finally settle down to blog about the past 3 weeks of my life :-)

commendation day (25 oct)
so we celebrated the final official day of being a j1 student.
it's pretty sad how everything has come to an end.
as much as i can't wait for 2013 to end, it is heart-wrenching to watch the class disband.
well i don't exactly feel much towards the class, but yeah, it's difficult to start anew next year by making new friends in a new class.
i like living in the comfort of old things.
nevertheless i've still made some good friends in class and got to know many of you better, and i'm thankful for that.
as we commemorate our official last day together, let's not forget what we've been through together.
be it studying for promos, spurring each other on in times of trials, comforting the ones with teary eyes, having birthday celebrations, doing a little something for the teachers, exhibiting our class spirit everytime, thank you 1sr20 for this whole year :-)



moving on to the personal dedications to the people i've got to know better in class :-)
or well, maybe just at least something that i would like to say to them.



this is maria, my mother in school.
you were probably my second friend i made in this class during orientation, and yeah, a friend that stuck with me through thick and thin throughout this year.
anything that happened, you were always there.
you never fail to ask me how everything is - "how's cca?" "how's yesterday's outing?" etc.
and for being ever-so motherly, the big sister who would always care for her younger ones :-)
you are a great advice giver and a ranting partner.
i will really miss you and it has been my pleasure to have known you this year :)
i might not say this to you in the face, but i just want you to know that you shouldn't ever give up, go out there and pursue your dreams like the brave girl you are, and that i will always support you in everything that you do!
:-)



this is vanessa, my laughing machine who makes me feel better.
you are wonderful.
honestly.
i don't even know how, but your presence always makes me feel at ease and that i can be myself in front of you without getting judged ahahaha.
the silliest things i do are always somehow witnessed by you.
and you just laugh.
but then again seeing you laugh makes me happy too.
i'm really glad to have become good friends with you this year, and till today i am still amazed at how you can totally stay as cool as a cucumber at everything.
thank you for teaching me what it is like to embrace both love and hate.
i am confused by your maturity level because you can be so childish yet mature at the same time haha!
let's hope 2014 will be a better year :)



this is jennee, my super adorable baby. (on a side note let's look at the boy in the background)
you, thank you for standing by me all the time.
yes you bully me and tease me like no other, and that's what makes you so special.
i know that you will always be there for me like how i would too.
thank you for everything: the typical schoolgirl fangirling, the really childish fights, the super crazy teasing, the silently sad moments.
i guess you could say we shared so much together this bond might just be even hard to break.
you are a really special friend to me.
and i also want you to know that you CAN do it, you really can.
and that i will always have your back no matter what.

*insert photo of mavis here during commendation day*

okay so i realised i did not take a photo with mavis on c-day...
nevertheless, she is mavis, my weird grandmother in school.
yes until today i am still very puzzled at your weirdness/stubbornness hahaha.
anyway, the year has had many ups and downs and we had a fair share of them.
despite the many conflicts during pw, i guess you and i all learnt a lot.
thank you for being the weird yet thoughtful one, the one who always did small little things for us to spur us on, such as baking (but with minimal sugar...) cupcakes.
and you were there for me when times got rough, and for always being the one with the weird outbursts of laughter added on with some fanning effects.
no matter what the future has in store for you, i hope that you will be happy in everything you embark on.



this is charles, my fellow portable entertainment system by mimicking.
er her, thanks arh charles, for being the only one who would laugh at/imitate teachers with me arh, er her.
i think everyone thinks we are annoying, hor!
kay, but it's okay, because it's really funny.
kay armmmm, i'm very thankful for you, k, for all the rants and talks k that we have. *seal lips*
not to worry k, i won't forget you, because you are the first and probably the only person who will go crazy about teachers with me lor, mmm....
hahaha okay on a serious note, yes thank you for making 2013 a lot more lively with all the crazy antics of yours mimicking teachers.
it really cracks me up so bad i don't even know why hahaha!
hopefully you didn't regret coming to sr and to this class too!



this is pearlyn, my cool pw mate who sings super well.
you have such a good heart really, and your talents never fail to amaze me.
you sing and play the guitar REALLY well, but that would probably be just an understatement.
and you are always ever so kind :')
you're really such a nice person who would always be full of nothing but positive vibes!
so yes, even if you forget every single thing about me, just remember me by "it's ok it's ok it's ok, never mind never mind never mind." yeah? ;)



this is patty, my kindest and sweetest pw mate ever.
still can't believe you actually bought me a notebook for my birthday and even left a note inside knowing how much i adore handwritten notes :')
you're the first really!
so sweet i cannot.
always full of praises for my blog sigh you flatter me.
honestly you are a great blogger too and i thank you for you and your genuine heart :)
you're so kind and thoughtful i can't even put it in words :P
and if you are ever feeling sad, just remember that tomorrow will always be a better day!



this is marcus, my crazy and annoyingly egoistic cg rep.
you are totally not a guy i swear.
you bake and cook and watch dramas like a girl oh my goodness.
it's really fascinating to see how your ego can stretch till like the ends of the earth.
don't always think you are the best please!
anyway, i'm glad you actually came over to guitar! :)
i hope that you'll blend in well and that you'll pick up the skill really soon!
i have faith in you marcus ding go go go go.



this is yueenn, the weird girl who always shits with me. (oops)
i remember you were the first girl who sat beside me for cg orientation.
and apparently i was really cold and unfriendly haha!
it's cool how we were still able to remain close even after orientation and that we were in different cliques.
it's nice to have short catch-up sessions with you over dinner :-)
and i know that you will always be willing to listen to me muhahaha.
thanks shit buddy for being so weird and all - i will really miss being in the same class as you!









^ the orientation girls :')

nike we run (3 nov)



i'm way too lazy to even upload the photos from my phone to facebook...
maybe because i look fat in all of 'em photos -_-
sucks big time because i put on so much weight since the start of the year.
ah well.
anyway that group photo looks nice :-)
and considering that this nike we run was my first ever commercial marathon, i think it was merely a so-so experience.
the crowd is too much for me to take, and the running roads are way too narrow for this amount of people to even run on...
but nonetheless i thought the split road concept was quite interesting!
only properly ran about the first 3-4km and gave up thereafter.
just started to walk like a boss omg.
the sun was rather hot as the day progressed to late morning.
went to collect our great eastern run pack at suntec thereafter and also had manhattan's fish market for lunch for the first time with the class :-)
but meh my food took at least half an hour to arrive omg i was so frustrated....
crashed for 2 hours when i reached home.

op exam (5 nov)

Embedded image permalink

5 november, tuesday, marked the end of sr089's journey together as a pw group.
honestly i am so thankful for these 3 girls because i think we really showed what it means by 'girl power'! :)
we did it girls!
i'm glad we pulled through op together where everything ran so smoothly, and that our hard work has paid off despite having such a crappy teacher.
i think it's great how we're all self-motivated and for patty and pearlyn, so passionate about this topic.
i'm glad i got to work with you all as a group.
though we might have our ups and downs of working together, but i guess our hard work has paid off and we can gladly say that OP is OVER.
actually i kinda miss doing op hahaha can we do it again?
come to think of it pw has really taught me many useful life skills such as public speaking and report writing.
hopefully we can celebrate again together next year after receiving our pw results :')

that's all i have for now folks!
till then!
approximately 2 more weeks before i fly for nepal!
mixed feelings of uncertainty, excitement, and a tinge of dread.
don't know what to expect sigh.

beyond blessed


this week was probably one of the best ones of the year.
yeah because it was my birthday!
well, not because i expected a truck-load of wishes and presents from everyone, but because after the day i turned seventeen, i realised how truly, truly blessed i am.
maybe you could say that whatever happened on my birthday really made up for this whole entire year.
this week honestly made my day (alongside with other things that has happened too!) :)

so yes i turned seventeen last tuesday, 22nd october!
#FINALLYSEVENTEEN
indeed i have received much gifts and cards (and especially cakes), but what i have actually received aren't just the superficial gifts alone, they are the love and care that go way beyond the physical present itself.
i don't even know where i should begin because i am honestly so touched hahahaha.

hmmm instead of blogging in the usual chronological order, i shall do a series of thank-yous for various groups of people :-)

#1 my class clique




yes these are the lovely bunch of girls who bought me the cool attention-seeking happy birthday helium balloon (and a decoy one to totally fool me about it), 2 twelve cupcakes and the sweetest letters/cards ever.
i might not have been all that surprised because i know you guys love me a lot and will do something for me *inserts my whole ego here* okay kidding hahaha!
but yeah, it does not mean that i am any less grateful. :-)
do you know how touched i was by your letters?
yes, to jennee, thank you for making the coolest card i have ever seen in my whole entire life. (till now i'm still figuring out how many papers it took you...)
and the words and pictures in it are really so heartwarming :')
when i read what you wrote i couldn't help but go "awww i love you too".
thank you so much for the pair of sky blue converse sneakers, they are really really pretty and i like it very much.
thank you baby :-)
and vanessa, your letter was indeed very touching.
i was really on the verge of tears because whatever advice you penned down for me was really so relevant to me.
besides the advice, i am really grateful for you because i know you will always have my back :')
"screw the haters, love the fans (like you)" - yes vanessa thank you sooo much it was honestly such a simple but beautiful letter!
and maria, the few words you've written i am grateful for.
i really am heartened by that one line you wrote, about my values.
thank you for being one of my longest but most loyal friend to me and i am really going to miss you next year, a lot.
miss you mama maria :')
and mavis, thank you for the effort you've put in to wanting to bake totoro cupcakes for me!!!
though it might not have succeeded, thanks for trying your best and i know you have the heart :')

#2 guitar exco



to my second closest bunch of friends in college, thank you for the birthday surprise and a slice of strawberry shortcake/cheesecake!
i was honestly very very shocked at how fast you guys came down to sing a birthday song for me after xiaohui/jasley called you all!!
thank you guys for the prompt response ahhh you guys really made me happy!
and guess what hahaha they threw me into the deyuan omggg!
see instagram for embarrassing full video :'(
and yes this was me after barely making it back onto dry land.
sorry it's a bit dark hahah i guess 'cos it was under natural lighting...


and yes this is the wet exco photo.


oh goodness you all ahhhh hahahaha!
and below are a few more post-dunk photos :P




thanks jasley for the really cute card filled with kwangsoo-popups and also my unglams omg hahahaha!!


^ oops the natural light again hahaha sorry!
and thanks gary for appearing in the photos even as much as you hate taking pics hahahaha!

anyway yeah thank you to the exco who made my birthday so extraordinary because i guess this will be the first and last time i will ever be thrown into the deyuan! (my birthday falls on deepavali next year, i checked HAHAHAHA)
and next year i guess we'd all be busy preparing for a levels,  so yes, i am very thankful you guys made my birthday this year a really special one despite the fact that you guys aren't the ones i spend the most time with :)
so thank you exco and here's to the greater times and louder laughters in the future :')
thank you srge exco '13-'14 love you all!

#3 pl-sr gang



to these girls whom i have been together for four years plus another two, thank you for the birthday surprise with a slice of strawberry shortcake/cheesecake!!! (yes until now i have no idea which group gave me which but anyway xiaohui said it doesn't matter)
thank you for actually organising the whole celebration (though it was short) and i'm grateful that i have these familiar faces around in school to make me feel less afraid when i'm in sr :-)
though we don't see each other often, i hope that being the feeling of attachment to pl would still hold us strongly together :-)

#4 cool peeps



to the three other girls that have been my close friends for almost five years now, thank you for having dinner with me, giving me a clique pen and stickers and socks, writing me the sweetest and most most most touching cards ever and buying me a cake from the icing room to celebrate my birthday!!! :)


kudos to stacy and yx's (not really) decorating skills omg it was such a pretty cake, thanks guys :')
we had hot tomato for dinner and talked over tasty cake and hearty laughters up at the sky garden of nex!
finally got to meet up with them for dinner after ages!
thank you guys for your shared presents and cake, and of course the best cards that each of you have written for me :')
sheryl, as much as your handwriting screws up the card (always), i still love you very very much.
another card filled with the best advice from the best friend :')
i swear you never change, the random magazine cut-outs of fruits and veggies are so retarded but yeah that's you :P
for the first time you actually wrote me such a long card aww i'm touched :')
thank you boob~
stacy, your sad letter honestly made my eyes well up with tears.
fatty, maybe that could really be the sad truth, but let me assure you that you will always have me to talk to 24/7 :')
we can always get together to prepare for a's!
yes our meet-ups maybe short and rare, but i cherish them so much and i feel that whatever we've been through together will never be erased this easily :')
so have faith fats thank you for the sweet letter i love you!
yingxia, the girl who wrote me a card on 1 square paper from paper market without decorating much because i know she thinks the paper is fanciful enough due to the price hahahaha!
another long, touching letter from you and seeing you express everything you want to say to me in a simple yet concise manner really makes me feel that you've grown up :')
whatever you've said in the letter really makes me feel like tearing up everytime i go back to read it.
and don't worry about promotion i'm sure you'll do fine :')
love you yingxia i hope to see you soon again!

yes so that pretty much sums up my seventeenth.
and this is not all; the gratitude i have is simply too deep to be put into words (or maybe because i can't)
and it is not about the presents i've got, but the love the people around me have shown towards me. :-)
feeling beyond blessed on this very special day.
so thank you to everyone else who has made it so memorable for me!

on a side note, thank you to ion orchard for selecting my instagram entry of the #ionfashionconcert!!!
thought it was a scam but i guess not!
can't wait for my autographed crazy world album and my poster to arrive!
thank you ion you just made my day even brighter :')

i'll blog about commendation day soon ok?
till then! :)

it's the little things in life that matter



so on 18th october i actually went to catch boys like girls at ion for free!
no regrets i tell you.
it was probably one of the best nights ever, and for a free concert, this was really amazing!
their entrance was rather delayed but i bet it was on purpose to make us watch the stupid fashion show hahaha.
at 7.30pm the models were parading around in their weirdass animal fluff coats and it was soooo boring :(
then they took forever to set up too hahaha excited fans like me were soooo damn anxious!!!
when they finally came on at about 8.15pm (?), martin started with a few lines from 'be your everything'.

"i'll be your shelter,
i'll be your storm,
i'll make you shiver,
i'll keep you warm."

ahhhhhhhhh his voice was so soothing to the ears omg.
they performed many other hit songs like thunder, she's got a boyfriend now, stuck in the middle (i was really surprised they sang this because this song wasn't as publicized as the rest), heels over head, the first time and the great escape as the finale!!!!
i was honestly so hyped and i kept singing along sooo loudly while recording their performance, and some asses turned back to stare at me...
i don't get it wtf.
isn't a concert supposed to be about singing along and jumping around being hyper because your favourite band is performing?
ugh if you don't know how to appreciate their music then scram, and let others who really like them move forward to get a better view right kns... 
nonetheless i had a great time with xiaohui, huixian and david singing to boys like girls!
it would have been great if the speakers were louder too 'cos we were quite far behind and couldn't really hear the songs very clearly...
but i had a good view of things still and yes finally saw them live!!! :)

28 feb 2010 - backstreet boys live
15 jan 2012 - simple plan live
18 oct 2013 - boys like girls live

i can die a happy girl now :')


to sum up 19th october, saturday

had a wonderful time at the pl funfair 2013!
got to see old friends whom i haven't met in a long time :-)
but it was such a pity that none of my clique people went :(
why is everybody so busy these days sigh...
anyway i'm glad to have met up with a few other classmates and also my dearest moose and doob :-)
and to have seen ms wong after such a long time; sad to here that it will be her last year in PL after so many years of teaching...
we're going to miss you ms wong, thank you for being there for a3 all the time!!!
ate some food and drank a few drinks, watched people get dunked, took a photo by the photobooth and bought a tank top for $3 from mrs ong hahaha!
well all in for the fundraising effort ;-) 
#hahahaexcusestoshop
after the funfair xiaohui and i decided to head down to esplanade to meet nigel for lunch!
tried the soup spoon for the very first time!!!


i must say that for $11.90, this is a very value-for-money meal!
thumbs up for the fact that it was a really filling meal, and that they've got a whole variety of appetizer-to-dessert kinda thing. (soup and bread for a start, sandwich or salad for the main and a friand or drink for dessert)
thumbs down for the overly huge portion of soup, because it was REALLY too much and after awhile you just get kinda sick of the same soup you're drinking.
but nonetheless i'd give it a 8.5 out of 10.
just a word of caution to only have this when you're super duper hungry!
if not you'll never be able to finish this hahaha!

walked around basement 1's cocoa trees and the marketplace with nigel and xiaohui while awaiting responses for our impromptu exco dinner!
then when i decided to go the toilet nigel chose to leave -_-
aish he...
so it was down to xiaohui and i who were waiting for wanrou to come!
at nbc we found these cute little jukeboxes with music and we found a harry potter's theme jukebox!
xiaohui decided to record it for nigel to make him feel better but then her phone died....
so much for trying to liven nigel up hahahaha.
window-shopped at monoyono and then on to our favourite shop, paper market!!!!
we spent almost like one and a half hours here.
it was here that gary and freda decided to come down to raffles city too :-)
yayyy the more the merrier!
i bought a sheet of stickers and a set of alphabet stamps and xiaohui a bridal shower stamp hahaha!
after the three of them came, we wanted to eat marche but meh it was the movenpick/bar version so no :(
decided to eat menya musashi, a ramen store!


ate this with xiaohui and my this was damn good!!!!
thumbs up for the very refreshing taste, like something you've never tried before, a soba-style ramen.
thumbs down because it gradually got really salty - it was really so salty i can't even...
i would give it a 7 out of 10.
over dinner we talked about the usual stuff and pestered gary as usual hahaha!
after dinner before we boarded the train we actually took a group picture again :'D
it's like some ritual of ours to take group pictures (esp. with gary) whenever we go out hahah.
over the past 2 days my feet were really overworked, but really everything was worth it, for the good food, good company and good happenings :')


exco appreciation post

yeah so this goes out to the exco!
okay we need to take a full picture soon because not everybody's in there!
but yeah it has only been a journey of 4... 5... 6 months together?
and yes it has been very fulfilling.
though we started out as strangers i'm glad we got to know one another better in recent times.
and yes we are not all together THAT close yet but i can certainly say i feel at ease with you guys.
we each have our unique roles; xiaohui is our mother who is firm yet always understands, nigel is the life of the exco with occasional pms-es, jasley is the keep-calm-and-carry-on one, wanrou is the super fierce money-collector (omg like really fierce), freda is the easygoing, super-easy-to-talk-to one, david the crazy, randomly, self-excited pub head, huixian the very serious one (from what i see hahaha always seriously taking attendance hehehe), joelyn is like our wise advisor, sean who is never present, and gary the one we all love to tease/play with.
thank you exco for the current good times and the better ones to come :')
i'm sure that we can bring srge to greater heights together as one!
i really really really appreciate each and every one of you and honestly you guys taught me that my job is not just simply a job, but in fact a blessing to be able to love others.
thank you srge exco '13-'14 :)
truly thankful for you all~
you guys are the reason why i look forward to cca each time :)
here's to future laughters, tears, celebrations, trials and awesomeness with you all the rest of the ensemble!
xoxoxo

ok sorry i gotta end here because my laptop is dying.

ten likes & dislikes

an attempt at another blog challenge post hahaha.
it was something similar to the previous 10 facts about me post but i thought this could be more to-the-point and defined.
pardon my stale brain that is absolutely lacking in creativity because i am getting old.
17 more days ;)

what i like

1) pretty floral dresses


























yes i have something for floral prints idk why hehehe.
they're so pretty and sweet at the same time!!
but too bad i can't wear any of the above because i have no figure. 
fat tummy fat thighs, wear what dress?!
sigh what a sad life.
maybe i shall lose weight before we even talk about floral dresses :(

2) people with cute smiles and deep dimples


yikes this baby is too cute!!!!
but yeah seeing people (guys) who have cute smiles and deep dimples makes me happy!
it's like they're so happy, it makes you happy too.
this contagion. hahaha!
seeing cute, genuine smiles on people's faces makes my heart melt/warm a little too :-)
such happy cutie pies heehee.

3) bread



if there was only one thing i could choose to feed on for the rest of my life it would be bread and by now most of you would have known this hahahaha.
bread is such a wondrous creation.
i have ever (and maybe still am) fantasized about marrying a baker solely for the fact that he can bake good bread.
imagine living by a cottage bakery and waking up to the delightful smells of freshly-baked bread.
oh and did i mention i like my bread plain hehe!
minimal spreads like butter and jam is the furthest i'd go!
very much prefer sweet breads to savoury ones though.

4) the subject english


the english language has always fascinated me since young.
the sheer array of words in the dictionary is so cool!
like, how did these people come up with a word for that?
call me a nerd, but i ever attempted to read the dictionary before, and i clearly remember myself copying out the words i have never stumbled upon into a notebook.
i remember stopping somewhere slightly halfway through the letter a?
and yes gp is my favourite subject at school although i clearly dislike comprehensions and essays a lot.
i am particular with my grammar and i take pride in my vocabulary.
not that i know the whole dictionary of flowery vocabulary but yup, you get my point.
i like english :)
a lot.

5) iphone camera apps



yes my iphone camera apps are my bundles of joy hahaha.
i enjoy taking pictures, editing them with almost 1001 apps before uploading them onto instagram.
i love vscocam for the very pretty (but mainstream) filters and fade function, i love phototreats for its user-friendliness of the app (you just swipe through various categories of filters and there's minimal lag time), i love camera360 for the SUPER wide range of filters to choose from, i love picsart because it allows me to add overlays wheee and i love photowonder because it removes my facial blemishes teehee.
trying to summarise why i like my camera apps because if not i am going to sound like an app store critic hahaha.
but yes i like iphone camera apps hehe which is one reason why i won't change to android!!! #teamapple

6) mario and gang


yahoooo i'm a huge fan of the series of mario games!!!
not that i've played a lot of the classic ones because i don't have the chance to, but the present-day games are so cute and adventurous!
i honestly think mario party is the best game of all haha the mini-games and roulette games are sooo cute!
mario kart's awesome hehehe challenge me to a game soon anybody? i'm itching for a good challenge hehehehe i am a (self-proclaimed) mario kart champion :P
super paper mario is quite a cool game too!
but i've yet to try much because i just couldn't get pass this level on the wii...
super mario bros. is cute but challenging hmmph but the various maps are just too adorable hehehe.

7) people who can express themselves well


that was what i got when i googled "expressive" into the images search engine.
anyway i've always envied people who could express themselves, especially in written words.
people who can write beautifully are worthy of my admiration because i can never be able to do that.
it does take some skill to write THIS well i guess, and i wish i could learn how too.
so i should go and read thoughtcatalog as recommended by patty! :)

8) songs with good lyrics and a heavy drum beat


yes, to me, a good song is defined by a heavily consistent drum beat especially. 
of course the lyrics must be good, but i kinda noticed that i develop a liking towards songs that have loud drum beats :)
periodically favourite songs of mine were thnks fr th mmrs by fall out boy, three perfect days by before you exit, be your everything by boys like girls (but this just had a very heavy electric guitar feel i think), straight through my heart by backstreet boys etc. etc.
but yeah you get my point.
most of the songs in my itunes library have *boom da boom* coolass drum beats ;)

9) making new friends (but i'm shy)


yeah making new friends really does feel good!
i like meeting (nice) new people but the thing is that i'm so shy hahahaha.
seriously, i don't open up to people easily (especially now after all shit that has happened) and it takes me very long to get used to someone that i can be comfortable around with.
it's quite a thrill to make new friends though, especially when you find someone nice, it's like a treasure :-)
I'M NICE TOO KAY HAHAHAHA.
though i am an unfriendly bitch who doesn't say hi to people first...
what a bad habit of mine that i just cannot get rid of, sorry..
but i'm trying!! :)

10) white rooms




i think this would be the theme for my future house!
i have a thing for white rooms because i think they make you feel so serene and comfortable, so, at home.
feels like heaven to me hehe.
so pleasing to the eyes :-)

what i dislike

1) overly picky people (especially about food)

(there is no picture on google that can accurately fit this description of what i wanna say)

i actually typed overly "particular" people, but i figured that was kinda me, so yes obviously i do not dislike myself, and the more appropriate word would be 'picky'.
no seriously i don't like how people are overly picky about their food.
i mean it is normal for people to have their likes and dislikes but those that throw tantrums when something doesn't taste as 'good'.
putting everything in inverted commas here to be safe because the boundaries are just too subjective.
can't you just eat whatever that's given to you oh my god.
haha maybe because i have poor tastes and to me there is no good or bad chicken rice because they're all just chicken rice.
that's why i don't understand why you need to queue for food, i don't see a need to.
if you can't get that famous chicken rice then just jolly well go to another nearby place to by la why insist on queuing 30mins just for mediocre food.
eat la aiyo.
can eat happy already la why must be so picky about food when other people out there in the world are starving?

2) the sound when your fingers rub against ceramic tiles

(okay again google images is failing me)

I SWEAR I HATE THE SOUND WHEN (DRY) FINGERS RUB AGAINST LIKE BATHROOM CERAMIC TILES.
IT IS SO DAMN IRRITATING OMG I FEEL SO UNCOMFORTABLE FROM HEAD TO TOE.
SUCH A NUISANCE I SWEAR.
it's not as bad when your fingers are wet and you rub against the walls 'cos there's less friction and thus no sound.
but omg i hate squeaky sounds like sport shoes rubbing against the floor too ewwww.

3) banters, even those that carry a joking connotation

(okay i apologise for the lack of photos in my dislikes, i guess what i hate is too specific for google to even churn out a picture for me hahaha)

haha i don't like it when people quarrel :(
it makes me sad hahaha because i don't know whether they're joking or not.
i'm such a softie srsly, can't even take jokes when quarreling aish.
but yes, when people bark at each other and raise their voices i feel uncomfortable :P
because i don't like to see people arguing and falling out after that.
it saddens me to see such stuff happen...
this is probably why i don't ever pick a quarrel with anyone (jokingly) because i'm afraid to offend and also because i suck at arguing and i will always lose.
don't quarrel guys ok world peace hehehe.

4) roller-coasters


yes i am damn scared of coasters hahaha.
i am not a fan of adventures so yes i am absolutely afraid of thrilling rides such as these.
the very first time i sat on a proper coaster was last year at uss on the human cylon ride thing oh my god that thing was seriously going to give me a heart attack then.
when the whole coaster flipped 360 degrees i felt like i was going to die of discomfort/from flying off the coaster...
i closed my eyes and screamed the whole time until i had tears in my eyes after the whole ride hahhaa and i vowed never to ride it again.
i swear i am such a boring girl who hates movies and coasters.
so to my future boyfriend i'm sorry i'd very much prefer a stay-home cook-your-own-dinner kinda thing ahahahaha.

5) hot coffee (i like them cold only)


oh bring that cup of coffee far away from me!!! :(
i hate the smell from hot coffee omg it's stinks like hell.
hot coffee gives off this pungent stench that reminds me of freaking aeroplanes...
and i have a phobia of aeroplanes ok i shall explain that in my next dislike!
BUT YES I HATE HOT COFFEE SMELLS YES YES YES.
starbucks is awesome when cold. ;-)

6) aeroplanes


if i could have the luxury of sleeping so comfortably like this in a plane i obviously would.
i hate sitting aeroplanes because i think i have airborne sickness or some shit like that.
i hate long plane rides because the air in the plane is so stale and the place is so bumpy ew.
had a bad experience when i was 5/6 years old and after i got off the plane i puked right away at the landing area.
and i remember i was headed to japan...
but i guess i'm okay with plane rides if i just close my eyes, listen to some music and pop in a candy or two :-)
so yes i'm pretty stoked about nov's nepal trip though i'm A BIT worried about the plane ride hahaha!
but if i survived the 8-hour flight to aussie i should survive a shorter one right? :-)
yes yes i will!

7) the sight of construction ongoing


just looking at numerous barricades and cranes doing all that constructing kinda puts me off.
especially in singapore, where there is so many roads undergoing reconstruction and all the messy redirected temporary roads we have been forced to take irritates me.
i just don't like the sight of seeing all that cordoning-off everywhere..

8) the television


i am not a fan of the teevee.
okay not that i hate the gadget itself but more of me disliking watching tv.
i think tv shows are boring.
i have no idea why maybe because i haven't came across a show worth my time.
personally it is very difficult for me to get used to doing something, especially because of the first step.
the first step to trying out a new drama is a challenging one for me and i don't like the first few episodes of starting a drama because it takes me forever to figure out what the heck is going on.
so yeah not a big fan of television programmes.

9) excessive piercings and tattoos

sorry no image for this though because i can't stand the sight of people with an excessive number of piercings and tattoos.
especially on a guy i think it's even worse.
i mean like... why?!
why do you wanna do this kinda thing to yourself.
so painful and it's not even nice.

10) almonds


anything that has almonds in it or is almond-flavoured is DISGUSTING.
i know it's supposedly good for your skin or some shit like that but no.
i remember drinking cod's liver oil when i was young and i think it had some almond essence to it and i puked everything out straightaway.
soooo disgusting omg.
i don't really like nuts but almonds have got to be the worst.

there are my 10 likes and dislikes for you :-)
will embark on another blog challenge soon! :)

do you think i would be this dumb to fight back?
obviously not.
would i stupidly put myself in such a precarious position that all would be lost if any shit goes wrong?
sometimes i really am pushed beyond my limit ok.
if my hard work doesn't pay off then screw it.
i don't get why the hell you are so prejudiced against me.
if you hate me tell me in the face, don't curse me behind my back.
that's just plain bitchy and childish.
i am so damn bloody angst now.
screw you.
by the way if you are reading this and you think it's you, then well, wear the shoe if it fits you then.
