Here kitty kitty kitty... and "Meaow" Yong rui style.

y'know... the usual stuff i see before and after church on a Sunday.

Yummy lasagna that Bud and her friend cooked... made.. i don't know what it is. anyway, yup! it's vegetarian! had tomatoes and mushrooms. It was yummy and healthy. They cooked/made too much and we ate it for lunch and dinner the next day.

two nights ago, I was in the subway. There was this old lady (reading a magazine) sitting next to a young spanish (i think) girl. The spanish girl was listenin' to some really loud music on her mp3 player. So the old lady asked if she could turn it down. The girl immediately replied, "If you can't take it, get off."

The girl was really rude... When the old lady moved to another seat, she actually turned the volume down. yeah.. everyone would think that this girl is horridious cow. I agree. But actually, surprisingly, I was pretty annoyed by the old woman instead.

I mean... c'mon. Just suck it up. It's just like the time I was at the Met. Some old woman had to pass my seat to get out. I crossed my legs but pushed them far back under the chair and she asked me why can't I put my leg down. =.=

Well.. it's not as if there's not enough space for her to pass. Even the old man beside me said that I should have kicked her. hahaha So moral of the story if you don't wanna get kicked, just.... suck it up if you can. Bear with it. AAAAIIII...

CHAR.. SUCK IT UP..........

This is Charmaine from the food kitchen. :) She's from Jamaica. and she has three kids. 21, 23 and 25. MY GOSH and I thought she was about MY age. She's only in her 40s!

Today I volunteered at the food kitchen again. This time, for the whole day. Nothing much happened....... EXCEPT JESSICA SZOHR FROM GOSSIP GIRLS WAS VOLUNTEERING AS WELL! gosh. I have such fate with the gossip girl peeps huh. Anyway... I can't believe we were digging turkey liver over the sink together. hahaha.

yeah yeaaahh.. I know I look like ugly duckling compared to her. whad EVA. haha

WHAT am i looking at?! GOSH.

How I REALLY feel about Theory lesson

Tick Tock Tick Tock
My gaze always falls upon that clock.

I'm so tired, I'm waiting to leave
Only then will I heave a sigh of relief

I knew from the time this class began,
It would be forever before it came to an end.

One hour is too much to take
"I love theory sooo much!"
Ohhh it's REALLY hard to fake.

My eyelids are heavy
a minute like TEN YEARS!

When this finally ends,
I end up in tears.

Tears of JOY!
Tears of Relief!

NO MORE GLOOM!
Just wanna get outta this classroom!

I write this in class,
I'm sure it shows

How EXTREMELY bored I am,
to go with the flow

"you should pay attention in class
as I've told you so."
"mom if you were here,
TRUST me, you'd know."

The "bell rings"
It is FINALLY time to go.

Hold on as I prepare to say...
YAYYY!!!! YIIPEEEE YAIYOOOO!!!

Give me a break!
Or I'd rather you break my leg.
So I don't have to go for class
It'd be SUCHA BLAST!

With theory, I've had it
With theory, I'm through.
Take it away from me
Don't make me. I'll sue.

muaAAHAHAHA

oh crap. I hope my theory teacher never reads this!

If my theory teacher ever reads this:

"You are an incredibly nice person. It's just too bad you teach my most hated subject. Sorry... try teaching English!"

The fat rabbit disappeared in the hat
This got the magician really mad.

His face turned red
This wasn't good
then he put the hat
back on his head

He raised his hands
and continued to smile
Perspiring,
he gave a hesitant bow.

He took his hat off
and the rabbit he dug
Digging and digging,
He had no luck!

He hummed a song
and continued his search
It wasn't before long
when he realised it was gone!

He tore the hat,
threw it on the floor.
and without a second glance,
fled to the door

For no longer was he a magician,
anymore

An applause arose
and puzzled he was
He thought it absurd
what was the cause?

He swung around
and looking down
The fat rabbit
was still not found

He searched high and low
without a clue.
He realised, of course!
He had been such a fool.

Recalling abracadabra
He made the rabbit disappear!
That is why the audience
gave a loud cheer!

It was my first day at the food kitchen today. The staff/volunteers were very nice. I had to wear gloves and change them every time I touched something that I wasn't working on. My right hand was totally allergic to the gloves. It became red and itchy and my fingers swelled. argh gross. Thank God it's much better now.

Anyway, I did alot of chopping. Onions, cucumbers, HUMUNGOUS BROCCOLI and CAULIFLOWER (never seen such huge ones before!) I chopped and chopped until I my wrist ached. I also scooped ice from the humungous ice box... just to melt them in the sink because something was wrong with the box and they needed to remove all the ice. arrgh. But Thank God my arms and wrists aren't aching anymore. :) Time flew by sooo quickly. Every time I checked the clock, it was at least one hour later.

I met this Jamaican girl there. It was also her first day volunteering. I said, "I'm Charmaine." and guess what she said! she said "I'M CHARMAINE." SAME SPELLING TOO! my goodness. ahhha I wish I had time to take pics but I was just in time to get to the food kitchen and I kinda had to rush for class at 4pm.

I'll be back on Friday. I'll prolly be able to take pics then and post it. I hope Charmaine will be there too! :)

My favorite brand: Kate Spade. Bright lights. Colors. Shimmer.

Isn't it sooo alluring?? It beckoned to me from across the street. "come in Char... come in... We know you want to..."

Well.. DUH. I purposely went all the way downtown to go into Kate Spade.

prettay HUH. :D The Christmas displays are even prettier.

I took the wrong train. Please do not judge me. It was very confusing with all the maintenance work going on in the subway. We had to change trains. And the MTA staff weren't exactly very clear over the loudspeaker. Anyway, I was on an ulu train all by myself in the cabin.

hahaha. I started singing opera at the top of my lungs. That is, until someone came in from the next cabin. GOT A SHOCK OF MY LIFE!

I seriously think I'm allergic to oats. I tried to eat that for breakfast. Since I've never really cooked oats in my life, i put a dash of salt because it was written on the back of the tin to do so. I THOUGHT it was normal. MY GOODNESS IT'S TOTALLY NOT NORMAL TO DO THAT! WHO WOULD EAT SALTY OATS??! well i guess it's something like popcorn with salt! I reaallyy ate the oats with an open mind. I didn't think it'd be THAT bad. I almost puked my gastric juices when I tasted the disgusting combination of oats and salt. GROSS.

The next time I felt daring enough to try it was this morning. This time, I put honey on it. I must say it was definitely much better. However, after a few spoonfuls, the puking sensation got back to me. My body is resisting this THING that tastes and feels like carpet in my mouth.


My conclusion: I'm allergic to this stuff. it's called oataphobia.

I couldn't take it anymore. So I prepared myself a hearty charzarella sandwich with a very simple modified Mediterranean salad.

My diva stomach finally got satisfied. ahhh..... :)

This slimming pills advert caught my eye in a magazine I was browsing through today. What REALLY caught my eye was the REALLY fine print below the page.

It wrote:

Dramatization. Cartoons lose weight easily. Real people require regular exercise and a reduced-calorie diet to lose weight.

The pearl in all its splendour,
gave out pearly white.

The diamond in all its glamour,
shot to fame overnight.

Alas the diamond lost its sparkle,
The pearl, its white face.

In a moment, all is lost,
when will men give up the chase.

I took this pic at the subway a couple of weeks ago. This man had a very unusual sleeping posture. Look at how his neck is 90 degrees against his body. He can actually sleep like that. COOL. But sooo bad for his posture. :(

This delicious Mozarella with spinach, seasoned with just garlic, salt and pepper keeps me full for a long time. It's SOOO YUMMY. I bought a sandwich like this at a diners and it was so yummy I decided to try make it myself.

So yesterday I was at the opticians near my school. Arghh.. the degree in my right eye has gone up again. :( I had a really nice conversation with Pat (not her real name) who's the shopkeeper. When I told her I was Singaporean, she told me she visited Singapore in 1979. WOW. and the amazing thing was that she could still remember orchard road, Victoria Concert Hall, and how beautiful the trennies at geylang are... yeah.. err.. and the hawker centre (prolly lau par sat) and she said we have delicious shrimps. ahahah i couldn't agree more cuz I love shrimps.

anywho... I was trying on some spectacles(for fun) and this father(I think) and son walked into the store. So I was sitting there looking in the mirror with a pair of specs. and suddenly the "son" said "let me see." I got a little shock. So I looked at him through the specs. This guy looked quite good looking. well.. y'know the typical american hunk that u see in some tv series or movie. Can't really remember his face though. hmm.. so maybe not. ahaha anyway, So I said, "I think it's cool." then he asked me what was my degree. I said, "-2.75" he said, "oh. mine's -2.50. That's pretty close." so I said, "do you wear contacts?" and he said no. I was wondering how he could see anything!! my goodness. Then he said he's making glasses and they are red. So I replied, "yeah... red's cool." Oh my gosh. only now do I realise what good memory I have. hope I'm not boring you. I just wanna recount everything in detail.

So after ordering some stuff from the opticians, I left the store. The next day, I went back to check on the stuff I ordered and Pat told me that she forgot to ask for my number (cuz she wants to call me when the stuff I ordered comes). Then she said something about this guy called Andrew(not his real name) who will call me. and she asked if I wanted to give him my number. I didn't really understand what she was saying and I thought she meant the guy who was gonna call me when the stuff that I wanted to buy arrives. anyway, it was all very bizzare. So I just said yeah just give him my number. whatever. So I left the store.

About half and hour to one hour later, she called me and told me that she gave my number to this Andrew guy. So she kept repeating that she doesn't know him very well and I should find out for myself. ok anyone who's reading this right now is going "huh...??" hahaha. So I asked, "errmm.. so.. who's this Andrew guy again???" and she was like, "So you didn't know what I was talking about the whole time??!!! Andrew!! the guy you met in the store yesterday! The one who's buying the pair of red spectacles!" and I was like, "WHAT?!! OH MY GOSH I THOUGHT YOU MEANT SOME OTHER GUY WHO WILL CALL ME WHEN WHAT I ORDERED HAS ARRIVED!!!" and she was like, "You mean you didn't know he was interested in YOU??!??!" and I was like, "ERR NO?!?" and she replied, "OH MY G**! CHARMAINE YOU ARE SO INNOCENT!!" So I yelled,"THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN IN SINGAPORE!!!" and she was like, "yeahh.. I know I know..."

So now this guy has my number. and I was wishing and hoping he will not call. But of course, he did. And at first i didn't wanna pick it up. But I thought, well.. you don't get this everyday so just pick it up and see what happens. and also, I was already kinda thinking how to blow him off. ahhaha

So I said "hi... May I know who's this? (YEAH LIKE I DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW)" and he said he was Andrew and that we met at the opticians yesterday and he knew I wasn't expecting his call. YEAH WHADDYA KNOW. so I said, "OH HI Andrew! yes.. I remember." so after all the how are yous and I am fines... I got straight to the point and said, "Yeah... Pat told me that she gave you my number and it was a misunderstanding because I didn't mean for it to happen." and he was like, "ohh... really...?" and I replied, "yeahh.................. I'm ENGAGED." I had to tell him that. I had to. It's alot better than saying,"yeah! I'm single and available but I'm NOT interested in you." doncha think? So he said again, "oh..." and i was like, "yeah.. I don't wanna mislead you and all.. I mean it's not that I think you are not a great guy or whatever but yeah... I'm really really sorry." heeheeheheeheeheehehee..

so he said, "Next time, bring your fiancee with you!"

hahaah then I laughed and said, "yeaaahh.. I will!"

well, I gotta admire this guy. He's got the guts. Unlike alot alot alot of people out there. I felt sorry. but what to do....

So now I have NO boyfriend and DEFINITELY no fiancee. GREAT. hahaha

HAH! DAD! MOM! HANWAH! I was THIS close to getting an ANG MOH boyfriend. ahahahhaha! and you guys wouldn't be too happy about it wouldja?
