YLargely Uneventful
Zhen: I know I was supposed to do this ages ago but I forgot and since I have time now (well, sorta), I'll just do it.
20 Random Things About Myself.
1. I used to have a dog, but she ran away from us and we didn't look for her because the next few days it rained and she was old anyway. (I sound so heartless) She was actually my uncle's dog, just that his apartment didn't allow pets, and after he moved into a new place that probably did allow pets he just left her with us. They stupidly asked an 8-year-old me to name her, so I named her 'Spot' after that children's book, but when we found out she was a girl we started calling her Spotty.
2. I hate showering at night because when you wash your hair at night it means you have to wait for it to dry before you can get to sleep and that means I have to sleep late. That's why I hate being out the whole day. I don't use the hair dryer unless it's a last resort because a. it dries my hair (as in sucks out all the moisture so my hair won't be nice and shiny--at least, that's what I believe) and b. it makes me feel as if I'm in a sauna, or in the hot sun on a Saturday afternoon--ughh.
3. I am unofficially the shortest essay writer in my class because when everyone does 7-side essays, my essays come up to about 2 1/2 sides at most. Strangely enough, the only time I have a lot to say is when I'm writing letters, and I'm fantastic at writing emails (Zhen can attest to that). I think it has something to do with the fact that you can talk about tonnes of random topics in one sitting. Like this.
4. I went to watch Goal! with Andrew and Brandon on the last day of our promos, and right when David Beckham appeared on screen I let out a great big gasp and went, "That's David Beckham!" like a rabid Beckham fan (which I am not) and Andrew looked over at me like I was a, well, rabid Beckham fan.
5. No one copies notes from me because my handwriting really looks like chicken scrawlings. It's all nice and cursivey and all that but they're all in pencil and look vaguely like trails of ants making their way from one end of the page to another, where all the food is.
6. I used to have this thing about getting eyebags because I thought they'd look horrible on me, and every morning in MG I'd go up to Tash and Nic and start complaining about it. I remember going to the toilet with them and staring at my face in the mirror and whining and having Tash and Nic sigh and tell me I was being ridiculous because I don't have eyebags and Tash would point out hers to me and I'd try to protest because she looks fantastic anyway. Now I don't care anymore; sleep's more important.
7. Today the weather was so hot that when I got home I told my mother I wished the world would just hurry up and end because I couldn't take it anymore.
8. I've started saying hello to Goh Chok Tong's guard whom I pass every day while either returning from school or walking out to the bus stop. I figure they must be pretty bored, standing there, so I tell them, "Have a nice day," and most of the time they nod, or smile back at me. I've been doing it since Thursday. Strangely enough, the euphoria of doing something that seems so absurd and unthought-of gives me an extra bounce in my step as I walk off.
9. I'm always in need of more shoes.
10. When I was in Sec 2 I wanted to be an intern at Seventeen (I think I figured that since I couldn't be their model I could work behind the scenes and maybe still get nice clothes). So I sent out a resume by email to them with absolutely nothing of value on it. I didn't get any reply but I started getting mailers from them about the latest issue of Seventeen. Darn, maybe I should have taken up Mrs. Nat Lim's offer to work at Cleo.
11. When I'm done with my A's I want to do waitressing because it'll probably be the only time I get to do that sort of thing and besides, it looks so interesting! I want to find out if it's as cool as it looks on tv.
12. Harold Pinter's Betrayal made no sense to me, and thus all I could do when Brandon was ranting about how stupid it was after the show was nod and try to say intelligent things (which probably did not succeed).
13. Sometimes I wish I could run away and become a ballet dancer and never have to study for another day in my life. But I probably don't have enough stamina, and I don't think I could take the pain.
14. The most vivid memories I have of myself when I was young are of me cleaning a magna-doodle board in an empty pink room and playing with my brother and his lego blocks and hot wheel toys.
15. I don't think I started watching tv until my brother did. I wonder how he discovered we had a tv when I had been completely oblivious to it.
16. When my maternal grandfather was alive, he made a book for me about a rabbit. He drew it with a red pen. He was a good artist, because I remember the rabbit really looked like a rabbit, and I wanted to make it like one of those open-flap books so I cut open bits of it and wrote stuff on the pages behind. I didn't have a pen knife so I poked holes in the paper with the pen instead. I wish I'd kept that book somehow, but it's lost, along with the other memories of my past.
17. I refuse to read the newspapers except for Today and the Life section because they make me more stressed than I already am.
18. 10 months into the year and I still dislike staying in Hwa Chong longer than I have to. The earlier I get away from it, the better.
19. I miss my boyfriend and I think the Singapore government should stop digging up roads and use all that money to employ an army so girlfriends won't have to lose their boyfriends for 1 year and 10 months. :P Think of it as part of your procreation campaign--if you keep them apart for so long, they're sure to break up, and then they'll spend the next ten years searching for 'The One' and when they finally get married they won't be able to have babies anymore.
20. Finally, because I cannot think of anything else to say: I'm not going to tag anyone because I don't know that many people on livejournal and technically Zhen's not allowed to tag me but since I'm waiting for my hair to dry I might as well do this anyway.
Thank you, and good night.
