yes. it's a monday n i haf no tuition n no jap lesson either. no jap lessons anymore unless i go for some private lessons at private schools which are suuuuper expensive the last time i checked. hm becos there's not enough people registering at the community centre, there wun be a stage 3 for jap lessons. shit i dun get my certificate and i'm not even done with the elementary stage. i hate doing things halfway.

hm. but anw now im officially free. i need to go down to the function room ltr to check out if i can bk the bbq pit downstairs on fri cos of my jc class gathering. they were planning to hold the bbq at one of my classmate's house, but i guess there was a change of plans. but other than gg down to ask abt the bbq pit bking, i dun haf much to do today le.

oh but i did borrow 9 bks frm the national lib - or rather, central lending lib (wat a horrid name la) - thx to the cards of terence and ben who helped me out since my bro's ez-link card had some prob. therefore i couldn't borrow more than 4 bks without his card. but terence and ben didnt borrow as many bks so they lent me their cards. :) so i've got to start reading them, i think.

hm i juz finished watching the oprah winfrey show. i reli do like it. it's kinda close to ur heart. it's not like some useless talk shows that dun make any sense nor impact to anyone. today's show was all abt.. hm let's juz say it was a all-men-are-jerks session. haha tastefully done, if i muz say so myself. but since im a feminist.. haha. there was this case where this lady got married to a super rich (and according to her - narcissistic) doctor and the whole marriage was a fairy tale for a whole 3 yrs. but then on the day of her 30th bd, when they were spending the day on their personal yacht, he suddenly took off on a jet. while she was slping. and he nvr came back, leaving her with a heapload of debts, including one of 6 million bucks. tsk tsk. and then during the show, a famous psychologist was invited to give her views.

during the interview, the woman who got cheated told the audience that she reli did love the guy but now tt things have come to this pt, all she wants is closure. then the psychologist almost shouted when she interrupted and told her that she can onli get closure frm herself and 'the circle of love' she has surrounding her, meaning family and frenz. becos to the guy, she simply doesn't exist anymore.

ouch.

the truth hurts. and according to the psychologist, becos the truth hurts, many pple tell lies to themselves and the pple arnd them and they'd rather get hurled into that certain realm of fantasy rather than to face the reality. hm. i guess tt's smth everyone noes ba. but here's one phrase i found amusing and original - 'when a guy sweeps u off ur feet, he sweeps u away frm ur life'.

sheesh. does tt mean tt women're nvr meant to fall in love? cos when u're in love, isn't it normal to be swept off ur feet? and mb sometimes, it's not so bad to swept away frm ur own life every once in a while.

poor women all arnd the world. but meanwhile, ashlee simpson's gg to a victoria's secret pajama party to perform but she's not gg to be wearing pajamas. oh and she's placing her 6 million house with a huge swimming pool in the backyard on sale. courtesy of entertainment channel (ET). interested, anyone?

the older sister jessica simpson speaks out and tells everyone on ET: 'i just wanna remind everyone tt i do sing.' yes, we noe. but it's hard to rmb tt when someone like her confuses fish with chicken. and not to mention buffalo and chicken. she has smth against chicken, tt's all i can say.

can't wait for grey's anatomy and desperate housewives tonight. hope i rmb to watch them.

i'm so bored. i dunno how many times i've repeated tt to myself and to the other poor souls tt have had to put with it. haha but i noe that once sch starts, i'm gonna complain tt there aren't enough hols. but hey we're only human and it's human to not feel content all the time. give me a call if u can truly tell me u're contented with ur life. and give me a call onli when u're sure u're not lying to urself.

i finished three things in two days. quite an achievement if i muz say so myself. haha. first, i finished a book by an unknown author - it was some bk i stumbled upon when i was shuffling thru the many shelves at the sembawang community lib one day. wait let me check out the author - it's the least i can do aftr laughing thru her (i'm sure it's a lady though) fantastically written bk. Karen Kendall. ring a bell? not sure tt it would to anyone out there, as compared to edgar allen poe and dean koontz and sidney sheldon. but she's a gd author. gonna check out more of her bks aftr the one i read ('someone like him'). reading of romance novels is becoming a rather rare indulgence for me, i muz say. i haven't read most of nora roberts bks, except one with some jd robb thingy. it was reli an investigation bk, so i figured tt doesn't count as smth romantic unless u're reli into blood and gore.

secondly i finished my story. my last chapter of a story on fanfiction. it's unfair. i'm putting in more effort for another story but the reviews (as in comments left behind by nice readers) skyrocket for the previous story (the one i'm done with now) and not the one i truly like. weird. and strange. but oh well, i'll juz have to sit it out and wait. if u dunno wat i'm toking abt, nvm and dun ask further. let's juz keep it at tt, then. :)

the third task i've finished is a sidney sheldon bk. i'm sure u've heard of her. haha. it's called 'the sky is falling' and it's reli reli gd. i didn't put it down the moment i started reading. well, technically, i only put it down to have lunch, but other than tt i read it non-stop. it's that gd. so if u swing by the lib, pick it up if u can. trust me, u wun regret it.

if u're wondering y i'm not reading any dean koontz bks, it's becos i'm pretty much thru with all of them, except the few titles i'm not reli interested in. so now i'm sorta 'attacking' sidney sheldon bks which are equally gd, if not better. and i wanna try reading bks by this certain author, which i've heard of but haven't seen of. sophie kinsella. ever heard of her? i heard her stories're reli funny and they concentrate on the life of a shopaholic i think. haha it might juz be interesting. the strange thing is tt i can nvr seem to find her bks on the lib shelves (i haven't tried the national lib yet, though). i checked it out on the catalogue and i realized tt they're ALL on loan. and some of the borrowers are way due. irritating. pls, juz return ur bks on time and there wun be any prob alr, rite??

oh well, gg out for dinner with my family soon. signing off and gg back to that absolutely boring life tt's unfortunately mine.

I NEED SOME DRAMA IN MY LIFE.

P.S. to whoever is listening to my pleas, it'll be nice to take note of some korean dramas as guidelines.

haha ok i'm officially nuts. ignore me.

and yet another k-drama watched. haha actualli, make tt two, since i haven't updated in a super long time le. (a few days shld be considered quite long, isnt it?) haha. anw, the first one i watched was 'wonderful life'. VERY NICE!! v touching oso. and it doesn't help tt the young little gurl in the show is so cute. here's a pic of her. so cute rite!!! she's even cuter in the show itself la. the adult actors and actresses are ok, i guess. haha but the plot is sweet la. the story's abt this guy and girl had a one nite stand aftr they got drunk. and pop comes this little gurl. becos of the guy's father, who's desperate for a grandchild as his older son can't seem to give him one, the guy is forced to marry the girl. and their marriage life begins. obviously, since they've only known each other for one day before she got pregnant, there're bound to be probs. but their relationship changes (for the better) when they find out tt their child (whom they really love) gets leukemia. but in the end, as most love stories end, they live their lives happily ever after.

but wat's so great abt this show (as well as shows like Full House) is tt it's a romantic comedy. as far as i noe, romantic comedies rock. better than sappy love stories frm the start to the end, at least such shows provide entertainment other than juz invoking ur heart to wrench.

another show i juz finished watching (in two days) is 'my girl'. starring this cute guy (yes of cos), lee dong wook, and girl lee da hae (if i'm not wrong). wun go into the details nor summary of the story, but it's another romantic comedy and it's reli sweet too. plus, did i mention tt there's a cute guy starring in it. here, let me show u:

there. is he not cute? haha n i found out his bd is on nov 6 1981. means he's only 6 yrs older than us (19). means.. 25?? haha amazing. he lks tt age la, actualli, so it's nth surprising. haha. but yes he is soo cute.

hm korean dramas (too much of them).. may lead to a false sense of euphoria. sometimes when i think abt a particular sweet and loving scene (pls dun think dirty), i'll find myself smiling like an idiot. to no one in particular. haha. and therefore my pt is this false sense of euphoria may lead to the occasional belief tt love reli does exist.

hm. a few times when i was watching such shows, i thought to myself 'if only such things happened to me'. but then again, i wonder if it happens to anyone.

wah~ spent the whole day slacking arnd. taking a short nap, watching some show on the comp, and reading one sidney sheldon bk (not done with it yet though - intending on finishing by tmr so i can start on the next one).

hm now tt i think abt it, the loooooong holiday break is finally coming to an end.. two more wks, and sch'll start le. the first emotion i felt was.. panic, i guess. i dunno y. mb it's cos i havent reli done much in the hols, other than work and slack arnd. and it's juz like when every break comes to an end, except tt this one's much longer in terms of duration. frm dec 2005 to aug 06 - almost a full yr. whew~ new sch term's beginning le. more scared than excited, actually. hm.. dunno lei. i've always felt uncomfortable in big schools. mb tt's y i felt comfortable in anderson ss, but not so much in aj ba, even though aj isnt considered to be v big either. hm.. in big schs.. i tend to feel so lost la. and ntu's gonna be much worse, i render. hm. close frenz all gg to nus instead.. aj frenz gg to ntu.. but we seldom meet up.. esp now tt we're in diff faculties, it's gonna be harder to maintain relationships. hm.. pple keep telling me tt it's easy for me to make new frenz..

but somehow, frenz aren't the same as acquantainces, rite? esp close frenz..

oh and how i hate feeling lost.

hm.. finished watching this k drama - sad love story. oh. it reli is quite sad lei. hm as in, no matter how much waiting and suffering the girl n guy have suffered, and how much they've worked juz to keep them together, the guy still dies in the end. but like almost all k dramas, this one's no exception when it comes to the skill of being draggy. hm.. if only the episodes were cut shorter and were made less.. sad. but then again, it's called sad love story. hmm. but the girl's so bloody pretty! and the guy oso so bloody handsome. except i think another guy other than the male lead is more handsome lei. some jung hoon guy la. aiya forever cannot rmb korean names properly. so many diff versions of them la. jung can oso be jeung, vice versa. eyeer. troublesome. haha

compared to the OTHER k drama i've watched (yes i am very bored indeed, thk u v much but there is no need for any reminding. haha) - a love to kill - which i believe i haf mentioned before, i think i prefer... a love to kill ba. even though the ratings are supposed to be lower than the sad love story one. then again, i nvr did believe in ratings much. anw i guess it's cos 'a love to kill' at least has some other plot (revenge) other than juz plain romance, u c. but it's oso quite sad, since in the end both the female and male leads die. well, they die in each other's arms la, so i guess tt's not so bad. except i thought it was rather stupid. y acknowledge each other only when u're abt to die, is it not? hmmm.

besides, the OST of 'a love to kill' is nicer than tt of 'sad love story'. haha. AND it's less draggy. hm all in all, i still prefer 'full house'. nice! seriously, romantic comedies still rock. more than sad love stories. definitely. :)

oh and 'my name is kim sam soon' oso v funny. muz watch. heh.

hmm. juz one scene frm 'a love to kill' i juz can't seem to forget.. hm.. when the girl cried - sobbed, rather - the guy could somehow hear her cries even though they weren't even near each other. so he covered his ears but he couldnt keep the cries away. ya i noe it sounds pretty lame, but if u watch the scene, i'm sure u'll noe wat i mean.

and tt is wat i call sad.

on a brighter note, i juz can't seem to get this song outta my head. think it was by nat king cole. super old song called 'love', i think. i'm sure almost everyone shld noe of its existence.

L - is for the way you look at me.
O - is for the only one I see.
V - is very, very extraordinary.
E - is even more than anyone that you adore.
And LOVE is all that I can give to you.
LOVE is more than just a game for two.
Two in LOVE can make it,
Take my heart and please don't break it.
LOVE was made for me and you.

oh and how i hate cristiano ronaldo.

and whoever it is tt injured david beckham's knee.

somebody pls tell me who the bloody ass is, so i'll murder him at the next possible chance i haf.

muahaha *evil laugh*

it's time. to mourn.

over england's loss against portugal. it is quite sad, reli. but rather expected, judging frm the way england has performed. poor david robert joseph beckham, my heart goes out to him (as always, though, despite eng's fate on the fields).

oh but it's also tme. to rejoice.

for brazil is no longer a threat to germany. as they're kicked out due to their loss to france! unexpectedly/expectedly? honestly, i wouldnt noe. but according to my dad, brazil lost in the 1998 world cup to france too. i forgot if brazil ever did take up france in the 2002 world cup, but if they didnt, mb tht's y they beat germany. (yes i am still quite sore abt germany's loss the last season)

poor brazil. wonder if ronaldo'll go on another eating binge, as i suspect he alr has, before the world cup even began. except this time it's to cure his misery.

germany's gonna win. she has to. wat a sore subject it will be for them if they lost in their homegrnd.

hm. moving on to my own personal life. i've got the flu!! yucks. AND i've got tuition earli in the morn tmr becos the two kids dun haf sch (due to the youth day hol). hello? they're not even youths yet. today my mum practically dragged me outta the house for lunch outside cos she didnt want me to be cooped up all day at home like a sick person. (silently protests: but i AM a sick person!!) but nonetheless she made me change and wanted me to go along with her gd mood. oh well now tt i'm home and the rest of my family have gone to visit my grandad, leaving me alone in the house with the maid and the comp as my onli companions (thank gdness!), i realized the outing wasnt half as bad. well, other than the fact tt i had no appetite watsoever and tt i felt like slping almost the whole way thru, the lunch was not bad. haha

omg. england lost. hm prob needs half a day or so for me to process tt info. and to portugal, too. hm i'm gonna name my son luis (aftr luis figo of cos). tt is, if i still rmb who the hell he is in the future. muahaha.
