Saying Our Goodbyes

Yesterday i packed both my luggages; one empty and another filled to only a quarter of its capacity. Then i charged the psp and the camera, both borrowed from dear friends.

This morning i woke up early, did mundane tasks like submit my NUS acceptance form and got a manicure for my trip.

Tomorrow i will wake up late and play Burnout:legend on the psp. Then charge both the psp and my handphone. And hopefully it will suddenly be time to go to the airport.

And then the rachel as you know her will be gone. Somehow i feel like ive said my goodbyes to so many people in the past week or so.

On a separate note. You know when youre really annoying, YOU'RE REALLY ANNOYING. But thank you. Just... thank you.

Thank goodness for fresh beginnings. 28th May to 4th June. To find myself.

My Fate



My god. Anna Tsuchiya's voice sounds as pure live as it does on the cd. Unbelievable.

Dream song to cover if NamaeNai ever debuts xD we might, you know, play a couple lives at clubs and whatnot but that will take a while.

When will i get to do a live tour?!

Fight The Blues

What an emotional-rollercoaster, monster-packed weekend.

Saturday started off really exciting, with the library exco+teacher lunch at marina Waraku. We each took our turns to get lost in marina (lol bryan had a 18bux taxi fare coz the driver just kept driving here there everywhere trying to find the place) and eventually all ended up in a nice, cosy tatami room. At first i thought omg we have to KNEEL?!?!? but apparently under the table theres like hole where you can dangle your legs so thank goodness. Coz i think if we all knelt we would have lasted all of 5 minutes and then gave up and sat cross-legged lol. We really gorged and pampered ourselves silly by ordering anything and everything on the menu that caught our fancy.. Then lao shi dropped the surprise bomb on us by ordering every single thing on the dessert menu and offering to treat us.

Wahahahahahaha pictures to make you jealous.





After which we got the heads-up from felicia's friend that the medicine admission results were up on the nus portal. Obviously my first instinct was to call ying hao and scream at ask him to check. Eventually we ended up with a lot of confusion over whether those were the actual results.

At the end of our lunch escapade, bryan bought a pair of half-price skiiinny jeans from topman while i laboured over whether to buy the half-priced leopord print heels from topshop. (GSS PEOPLE. DO YOUR BID TO HELP OUR ECONOMY.) In the end i chose to save the cash and go Far East to buy my gaara wig instead hurhurhur..

On the mrt home, i met Riane!!! Who told me about all the tea sessions that i havent been attending and the aus edu fair coming up this weekend. (homg now that i think of it its like fated larh.) And got a frightening phone call from yh asking me to accompany him to dinner while he despaired over his acceptance into nus science. (which is the ultimate in euphemisms)

Took a bus down to his house to meet him then we went to allsons to eat buffet (oh god more food -.-) and talk. Just let him rant all the way from sengkang until we finished dinner. After which both of us were just damn sianzzz so we just went home.

What a bittersweet day.

Sunday morning was pretty crappy firstly coz the general bummed out feeling from saturday spilled over and secondly coz i was trying to convince my parents to let me stop piano after grade 7 so i can dorm at nus.

But it kinda picked up when i left for Chinatown to buy my anbu katana xD omg weapons (yes even replica ones) make me excited hurhurhur.. Lol but no larh im not like my stupid primary sch classmates who try to twirl and swing the katana around to satisfy their ninja fantasies. (SHEESH like look at the fucking length of the thing man if its too long for you then dont wave it around too much coz the weight of the blade will cause a larger arc than the force you used). I iish calm and composed with katana desu~

Lol ended up spending like 5 seconds in chinatown pt so we decided to walk to sim lim square and burn some time before i go for my primary sch gathering. It was freaking cool larh we did a singapore tour in the central area hurhurhur..

From chinatown to raffles place to city hall to dhoby ghaut to bugis to sim lim square. The funniest thing is that we had no bloody clue where we were going; we just kept walking till we found a familiar building or landmark lol.. So fun xD

"We're lost, aren't we."
"NO. We're not lost. We just don't really know where we are."

More euphemisms xD

But we eventually made it!!! Timing was impeccable man, just when we were done in sim lim square, it was just nice to go for my primary sch gathering.

Primary school gathering was a piece of rotten crap. I just went there to see see look look since i have nothing in common with the people there. Some unknown guy (ok im sorry i forgot his name) asked me if the katana was sephiroths sword before launching into a speech about how much he loves sephiroth and i was like omg are you retarded lol even i dont play ff7 and i know how sephiroths sword looks like and my katana looks nothing like that. Hmm. Go figure larh. Then some person swung the katana around and whacked her own face with the chain. Aiya my pri sch classmates are like posers and losers larh only know how to ACT cool thank goodness i was the reject/loner back then.

Lol then met Zhi Ren (like finally) to watch harold and kumar. LOLOLOL luckily i didnt watch it with yh larh its like super vulgar i dont think he would have gotten it hurhurhur... I was pretty much brain dead by the end of the movie so we just discussed uni shit on the way home. AND YEO ZHI REN IF YOURE READING THIS YOU HAVENT PAID ME BACK FOR THE TICKET YOU EVIL MONSTER. >.>

Wahahahaha pic of the katana before modding. It iish long and will look silver soon! xD

Souped-Up Supernova

On sunday morning, my mother had the urge to play the part of the domesticated housewife and bake muffins. So i got dragged in to do miscellaneous tasks like weigh the sugar, sift the flour and take pictures. xD


So out came the trusty (and 22 year old) cake mixer and in went the butter and sugar, which got spun around into a soft, squishy mess. Alas, i was too hasty to proclaim the cake mixer a worthy friend coz the metal mixer thingies came loose and made a hell lot of noise that wasnt normal.


My mother got to work trying to fix the mixer, without which we would be left with a soggy, yellow coagulation and nothing to mix it with. Naturally i whipped out my phone and snapped a few shots before my mum yelled at me in irritation to DO SOMETHING USEFUL. Jeez right, as if the bowl will allow two pairs of hands to fit into it.

After the problem with the mixer was rectified, we got this pretty, creamy, doughy thing. Throw in half a pack of dried cranberries and viola you get the batter for cranberry muffins!


Add a dallop of the batter into the muffin pan and pop the whole thing into the oven. In about 20 minutes, theyll turn golden brown.

Lol theres one missing in the final picture coz i ate it before taking a shot hurhurhurhur..

On a separate note, i finally got around to reading the nus freshman package and omg there are like a TON of camps for freshies.. And they almost all involve sports/water/desperado games trying to hook girls and guys up. Argh, the pain.

I am an anti-social monster who doesnt come out of her cave often to act sociable and smiley with strangers. I am most definitely not a sexed-up bunny waiting to be served and i am most definitely not actively looking for a boyfriend or a commitment. (the drummer doesnt count hes just a fling)

So, what? Go for the camp and act like an outgoing retard to score some social status before school starts OR not go for any and be my own comfortable loner jackass self all through uni? xD

Bow Down To My Resourcefulness

HOMGWTFBBQ.


I think zr looks damn retarded with no hair. And i havent even met him yet xD


I wonder what my bandmates will look like when its their turn. Gahhh, will we have to disband when the guys all end up in army and get super rusty coz they cant practice on their instruments?

I hope not. =/

Stay Gold on the imeem player. Like finally!?!?!?!?! Rarrrrr it took me about 87861321874516 tries to upload it successfully.

Scribbled Truths

After two days of singing training, it appears that my voice is standing up to the abuse. V(>.<) Albeit barely lol since after singing all three songs at one go my throat feels like its going to crack. (ok maybe thats just the effect of the hazelnut cake for lunch hmm)

Hahaha i hope my voice is getting stronger with each session man.....

I realised that when i try to force my voice out, to make it sound stronger/lower, ill veer off tune like quite seriously. And the note that im holding wobbles like jelly on a plate. Lol you should try it, the result is quite funny xD

So i think im gonna stick to my natural pitch for cassis (which is sung or growled by a guy @#%!*&$^$*&@# THANKS leader -.-)

Oh and i realised i occasionally go offtune when im trying to pronounce the japanese lyrics. Aiya i sometimes feel like erasing all the words and rewriting english lyrics over lol.. I need japanese lessons pronto!!! If not i cant sing like a pro!!!!! GRRRRRRAAARRRRRR

I wonder if i can take japanese lessons in nus o.O

We All Have Our Secrets

Homg now that my cousin knows my blog address, i really should attempt to swear a little less lest he picks up the habit as well O.o

Hahahahahahahaha im really asking for it arh.. Just look at the previous post. Rarrr i am made of phailz.

IVAN IF YOURE READING THIS, YOU SHOULD NOT CUSS LIKE A SAILOR or your cousin AND I AM A VERY VERY VERY BAD EXAMPLE.

Lol including the fact that im still up at 2.30am in the morning hahahahahaha omg i am seriously bad at this role model thing..

IVAN IF YOU ARE READING THIS, SLEEPING EARLY IS GOOD FOR YOUR STUDIES. Eh but on second thoughts to each his own larh. I almost always sleep super duper late but can still function the next day so if you can too then by all means.. But dont take that risk like the day before your exams coz thats just seriously pushing it...

And being emo 24/7 is really quite bad for your emotional health. Been there, done that. I kinda like the whole anti-emo, carefree punk attitude better.

On an unrelated note, i cannot love someone i dont know. Similarly i cannot sing a song i have not heard before.

I have to learn to get over myself and start getting comfortable singing in front of people in one week. Plus finish memorising the lyrics to three songs, one of which i have not heard before. Plus tab out the glamorous sky keyboard part.

Ok, this is harder than i thought. >.>

Dead Wrong

FUCK




YOU




VJC.




Pathetic. Disgusting, shallow little maggots playing around on the mrt, talking non-stop, shoving their fucking elitist attitude in my face. So what if you got you pretty little asses into vjc. Seven, eight, nine As for olevel cannot save your rotting souls from the wrath of the devil.

Coz DONT YOU FUCKING DARE to call me irritating for blocking your fucking way. If youre gonna throw your ass down onto the mrt seat when my mother is about to sit down next to my father then you damn well be prepared to be served by me blocking your fucking way. You dont want to give way to an older person then i see no necessity in moving to make your conversation with your friend more convenient you fucking bitchpig.

You're nothing but a worthless vjc student. So dont you fucking dare. I know how to be a chao ah lian when the time calls for it. Dont fucking get arrogant with me when you havent even graduated. You like boys so much, go get laid with your soccer ball. Weak-minded shallow little xiao mei meis.

I could have punched you. Sucks for me that i would have been slapped with an assault charge. So you got fucking lucky. See the middle finger that i pointed at you in the mrt station? Yes? Good. Coz its up yours.

Douchebags..

If i have to fight against the norm all my life, then SO. BE. IT. Id rather be irritating for not getting out of your way, than be some bitchslut and get popular. Shoot me if i ever get as shallow as that.

Now get your fucking ccb elitist faces out of my uncaring hand. Thanks for reminding me again why i hate the instituition so much.
