today, sheryl and pet applauded my psychoanalytical skill. sheryl changed her opinion about my diplomatic ability and agreed that i can be very tactful and sensitive when i wanted to, and that i would make an excellent (i added this adjective myself) psychologist. i was so touched i almost teared, and then i said i promise to help her and asked if she would be my very first patient.

i've officially made the "switch" and abandoned windows to embrace the world of pretty macs. haha. ooh scholarship day was great for the ugly singaporeans in us- we all gained an insight to different organisations and scholarship applications, but more importantly, the cd racks, water bottles, pens, folders, post-sticks, etc. etc. and of course the cute speaker that comes along with it. talk about scholarship perks.
you never realise how small singapore is until you keep bumping into people you know. you also never realise how easily your friends can get along with other friends of yours with you as a common topic. you also never realise that petrina can pop out at a quiet Saturday night dinner! haha.
raikkonen takes pole position! now all i hope is that his car doesn't burn and crash out. but knowing mclaren...
it seems that july is a birthday-friendly month. everyone seems to be turning 18 at the same time. happy birthday to fuzz, huixin, shuping, pet, chim... tt's 6 (including me) from the class and we are only 11 days into july. it's scary to think that us bunch are empowered with the license to club, drink, drive etc.etc. not that we haven't already done bits of it. pet's birthday was loads of fun. daytona and bowling's a great combination. although i have a. sinking. feeling. that we are never going to bowl. together. again. not if. someone. can help. it. but somethings are best left unsaid. anyway, i am convinced that poor drivers i.e. those who are 5 laps behind everyone else on daytona, should be banned from the game because they are road hazards! bumping me off the track just as i am 5 seconds from a famous race win. tsktsk :P
it's been a week and i'm greedy for more. to recreate that special moment.

sheila that lazy bum still refuses to wake up so i'm up alone typing on my blog. al forgot to tell the rest to stay over -smart move al!- i think she wanted me all for herself hehheh. euro finals was def disappointing, i assure you it had nothing to do with my birthday wishes! -you guys said that if i said i revealed my birthday wish then it wouldn't come true so i said i hope greece will win!- ah well. most boring match i've watched in a while. 90 mins of non-action. the only thing that went anywhere close to the goal post was the stupid guy who invaded the pitch. even injury time was an anti-climax, i think the referee blew the whistle half a minute too early! al and sheil fell asleep during the game. my heart bled for ronaldo when he cried after the game! greeks are def the underdogs, but nothing about their game brings alive the underdog spirit.. their wins are just so.. mechanical, boring. i don't like the greeks very much =)
cooking was funny. couldn't tell the dif between ginger and garlic for a while. mixed up flavoured milk with fresh milk. didnt know onions came in 3 colours. never heard of onion powder (in my defence, neither did half of the cold storage staff), whoever knew 4 boxes of pasta could feed an army? but huixin/sheil/mz/ru/teo were absolut angels! i love ya dudes. anyway you guys rock- i love everything, especially the inner lining of the purse hx made for me- it's got cow cartoons on bright purple cloth! and i certainly cannot help it if shauna likes tying herself to tables and chairs, she's not bdsm champ for no reason!
18th birthday, i tread on a new beginning- i wonder where this route takes me, but i'll savour every moment of the ride for now. and i've been catapulted up into the sky.
Saturday, July 3, 2004,09:57 a.m.
gah. i forgot to call roy this morning. sorry roy! i woke up late! anyway, here's wishing ya the best, take care, we'll talk after you settle down!
blocks over. yippieyippiedoo. whee, i'm turning 18 i'm turning 18 i'm turning 18! can't wait to try my hands on some cooking for my birthday, the last time i touched the stove was in sec2 home economic lessons! =) you know who your true friends are when they are willing to put their life on the line and taste your cooking.

holland has been killed. now for math...
update at 2340h: since typing in the above entry, the author of this blog has made a number of wayward passes, found herself offside on a couple of occasions, scored a hat-trick or two own goals in the course of her mathematics paper and expects to earn herself a red card soon. complex numbers. sheesh.
Friday, June 25, 2004,04:17 a.m.
45th min: i wake up late for the game. england's leading 1-0, owen must be the happiest guy around. found out rooney's injured. aw. what's the headlines gonna say?Injurooed! Wroounded! Wroopie.
75th min: my euro 2004 love affair looks like it's gonna be over in 15 minutes.. pity, portugal plays so pretty except that they don't have a decent striker.
82th min: YESyesyesyesyesyesyesYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all the tottenham fans might feel a little aggrieved :P scolari rocks, his substitutes always do the trick. loud sighs and outcries can be heard from all the coffeeshops in singapore.
87th min: i just realise that silver goal means i don't get to sleep. damnit. hope i don't fall asleep at the cip thing tmr. ah well =) now tt portugal's level, it's nice to see them get an even ------
89th min: WTH! oh wait. disallowed. phew. heart stopped beating for a second.
90th min: anyway. i was gonna say. it's nice to see them get a square chance. never liked early goals, it spoils the rest of the game. i just noticed how red ronaldo's cheeks are. talking to lala at the same time. the little darling is learning to appreciate the game (her reason is dubious, but tt's alright :))
92nd min: i make a quick run to the fridge for a cookie.
97th min: john terry really looks like the quirky guy from 3rd Rock.
101th min: eriksson wears tight fitting clothes! i will quit making stupid comments if something interesting happens in the game.
105th min: ok i decided that anyone who scores now deserves the win. anything beats a penalty shootout.
108th min: ouch. off the line.
109th min: yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes! to quote sheil's msn nick, "woo for the substitutes!" i feel an ounce of sympathy for england. Whroops. no i mean it really. my love affair is coming back.
114th min: my love affair looks quite dead again.
117th min: sigh.
120th min: penalties. i dislike penalty shootouts. it always makes scapegoals out of undeserving players.
portugal has a really cute reserve goalie. poor becks. gonna get lynched. ga. i have a sinking feeling england's gonna win this thing. okay not yet. the goalies haven't saved a single thing. postiga's penalty is really cute. saved! ouch vasall looks pained. portugal did it again!
okay this is gonna sound real lame, but all the penalty takers rock. the english media have found themselves a new scapegoat- beckham- and it wouldn't matter if he set up the equaliser. i'm gonna get some sleep. good night all :)
Monday, June 21, 2004,04:38 a.m.
it's cold, lonely, and i'm hungry, but portugal is IN!!!!!!!!!
Friday, June 18, 2004,11:46 p.m.
5th july will be a (very very very special!) school holiday for all except hcjc's bio students, who will be back in sch doing their bio practical. hahahahaha.
i love alina. she's organising a surprise birthday party for me. muaks to you girl. for the sceptics out there, the concept of an unsurprising birthday party is in itself surprising. so there.
Thursday, June 17, 2004,11:39 a.m.
ga. what's up with the greeks. not that i have anything against them of course, but really, greeks should stick to things that matter to them like chariot racing and quit trying to crash the euro2004 party! anyhow, portugal vs. spain should rock. pity, i was hoping to see them both qualify, but unless the russians do something funky, spain has to go home! and shauna shouldn't feel too bad, cos raul will still be cute, albeit with funny hair. :)
caught a bit of a channel 8 programme while channel surfing. amazing how much NE propaganda they can fit into so little time- i think they touched on the bilingual policy/GEP/education in general, doing business in china (tips, cautions etc.), ageing population/taking care of the aged etc. in all of 3 minutes. even the spelling bee on ESPN is far more interesting.
soccer is killing my life. if anything, i learn that trying to do math at 4 am while watching a football match is ineffective studying and hurts your health. so i stick to the game. portugal!
Friday, June 11, 2004,11:55 p.m.
to Petrina Wee Mei Xian
1. thanks for informing me that was spam. i really couldn't figure it out myself.
2. i remember being in a rather cherry mood, thanks to the lovely hk visitors. and they didn't turn me down, i turn them down cos i wasn't sure how long i've spent in UK!
3. i got there at 3.45pm when the sun was still up and shining. in fact, you wore your sunglasses after that!
4. yeoch, is the foot better? my little scar still hurts a bit =(
5. no way tt was only 30 mins, i'll need sheryl to verify this one! oh i forgot to mention, the first thing you did when you got back to the room again was to take out the hair dryer!
6. how long did we stay? just over an hour? sheesh, what am i? a stopwatch?
7. only cos the rest of us got tired of you droning away and pacing round the room
8. actually, i think she woke up before the bell. even more amazing :P
9. hope you had fun with math. i didn't.
10. hell yea. spam rocks.
Friday, June 11, 2004,04:40 p.m.
dear sheryl, you might be surprised to know that i am actually beginning to feel a teenyweeny bit tired now!
yesterday was fun... i desperately needed timeout and i got it =) happily trotted off to sentosa after the blood donation drive. on the monorail, met the dumbest group of hongkongers i'll meet in my life. they pointed to the statues outside the fort siloso and convinced each other that those were real. if that wasn't bad enough, they then proceeded to agree that this peacock which was happily moving around was a fake. way brilliant.
then the beach! the sun was real good to me, didn't get burnt. the girls picked the most hazardous possible location to chill out. esther/pet/me/cw all ended with injuries. but not all is bad =) we discovered estelle's hidden talent as a sand sculptor.. well, she's really only good with one kind of sculptures but tt's okay. and here's a sun protection tip: do you know tt an ordinary light coloured shirt offers a sun protection of SPF3/4 whereas a green shirt will increase the protection level to SPF10? and demin jeans are great for all of us out there who burn like er. whatever burns well. paper maybe. anyway, back to demin jeans, they offer a whooping SPF1,700 protection! there, we learn something new everyday.
at the hotel, we learn even more new things. for example, we learn that petrina takes an impossibly long time to get herself ready to go out. she has to comb her hair for about 20 mins before blowdrying it for about 10 mins. which really is okay, until she repeats the whole procedure another 3 times.
inertia and pet's meticulousness over her hair meant tt we bummed around watching italian opera and french tragi-comedy (well we provided the comedic effect)in the room. each time someone says "okay let's go" everyone agrees. and we do not move. so it took a while to get our butts off the bed.
our night out! whee, after much deliberation and little mishaps, we finally conquered our guts and marched stridently into you-know-where (no, not hogwarts, stupid). after being happily ripped off, we stayed for a few hours watching you-know-what (not quidditch...)and then we left.
got back to our room, and sheryl seems to like to sleep. i can't understand why, it was only 3am. think she was on the verge of a mental breakdown when stelle and i jumped around the bed and went "sheryl wake up!" every time we caught her "resting her eyes". but none of us couuld think about anything good to do after we finished the er. slurpies. we bought. and our poor neighbours probably took the late flight out of singapore to get some sleep away from our noise already. so we decided to sleep. except for pet, who took coffee, and hence spent the rest of the night walking around the room.
took it upon myself to set the morning call time *beams*. turns out it is something like the kind of bell you get during a fire drill. anyway. everyone looked like a walking zombie except for me.
so now we're all nice and home and i wonder if they are awake! like me! haha =)
Monday, June 7, 2004,06:45 p.m.
Serene's Plan for the WEEK
1. finish reading on pre-war/during war nationalism
2. complete integration exercises in the math worksheet
3. watch Harry Potter, Jamie's Kitchen, Oliver's Twist, Euro 2004, Friends etc.etc. on TV.
4. fix the blasted tv (lost its sound) so i can accomplish the above point. alternatively, evict my brother from his room so i can watch TV from there.
5. finish reading a couple of the books i bought from amazon (i'm crazy, i receive a parcel from them every 3 days!)
6. find my way to a bookstore and hide myself in a corner where nobody can see me so i can read the last book of the Animorphs series (er, i found out it has ended, and i didn't spend 6 months of my primary school days addicted to that stupid series without knowing the ending properly!)
7. think about whether or not i should get the other half of my room painted.
8. think about whether i'll wait 2 months for the ipod-mini or go for the ipod.
9. bring a friend along to the Chocolate Buffet at Orchard Hotel. (dad's got free vouchers!)
10. laugh at shauna loo. she's not only betting in real games, she's betting in virtual games too (with real money)!
11. remember to work on shauna's present.
12. think about doing some econs and lit revision as well
13. get my beach wear ready! oh and find a beach volleyball to play with.
14. check out my brother's furniture. I hear he's designed his apartment to be a kopitiam.
15. i can't think of 15 now. oh 15. 15's the name of jamie oliver's restaurant!
update: i hate math.
Saturday, June 5, 2004,04:59 p.m.
one week into the hols, and i've hardly done anything that i set out to do. on the bright side though, just as i mourned for the loss of my life with the end of AI3, Jamie's Kitchen resurrected me! ahh i should marry a chef =)
speaking of chefs, my mother is into baking these days. she's a very dilligent student, but unfortunately, that means we are made to eat 5 batches of the same pastries everyday (which is really not so bad, until you realise it's 5 batches of the same pastries 5 times a week i.e. 5x5 = 25 batches).
went shopping for shauna's present after SATS II today- i really really wanted to get her this roll of toilet paper which has "LOO RULES" printed on every piece but she'll kill me. and yours truly didn't spend so much effort on a blasted mathII (that's one more I than I)C paper to get killed before getting back my results! couldn't figure out what to get her i.e. i can't afford anything she wants. was very tempted to get her a teddy bear or something but that's so insulting- you don't buy teddy bears for someone you've known for 8 years, it just means you know nuts about that person (unless of cos tt person is a weirdo teddy bear collector). then i met her and yvonne. we were looking at Sins chocolates.. the woman at the counter said they cost $2 per piece or $15 for 100g.. was tempted to ask how many grams each piece weighed but i decided it was far too embarassing.
ahhh my hols are almost over, there are only 3 weeks left! yelp!
Tuesday, June 1, 2004,11:41 p.m.
hi. i put up a photo album. there are photos inside. check the links.
Sunday, May 30, 2004,08:22 p.m.
dear all who have bugged me for photos =) here ya go. by sunday as promised. http://tailed.mypicgallery.com awaits you. everyone else who wants photos from other occasions gotta wait till i'm less lazy. love ya!
Sunday, May 23, 2004,05:44 p.m.
doing my s-history readings.. i believe history is cyclical and people do repeat their mistakes knowingly. and this is an intentionally cryptic message.
met up with the aard-gang on friday, people i haven't met in like.. 2 years? roy..mark..shan-er.. sheesh i was trying to match names with faces. then i tried to transfer all my trivia points and money to roy today... didn't even know how to log on anymore. to think that a few years ago we were so engrossed in the game we would play 8 hours at a go. i remember laoshi said it was like a drug addiction. haha. it's amazing- i remember we used to compete against each other, flash our shiny new aard weapons around, parade our manors around.. amazing. i thought about deleting my character today after giving up all my assets to roy, but then, maybe not. i'll just keep it, if anything, for nostalgia.
Tuesday, May 18, 2004,06:29 p.m.
this is prob a feel good week.
strings concert was quite nice. zhongkai lied to me. he told me to buy a ticket cos nobody was gonna listen to them play, but when i got there the bloody concert hall was packed. ah well, it was rather nice anyway, i wasn't dozing off so tt's good. never knew the esplanade was so close to it, but i decided singapore looked quite decent during the evening. at least tt bit of signapore.
finished reading da vinci code. quite fun. i even played the online trivia game. i'm regretting the incident when i insisted on going to Euro DisneyLand only because my brother wanted to go to the Lourve. Hrmph. At least i've got my very own set of Disney pens. anyway he's in korea now, and rather paranoid. thinks tt everyone is trying to feed him dog meat for every meal. queer boy.
met sheil on sat, she couldn't tell the dif between squids and scallops. watched the acjcs before tt, i was only gonna stay for a round, but somehow found myself there for the whole day. ah well.
oh and rachel and zhen on friday. to watch troy.. hector rocks. my brother is disturbingly fascinated by achilles. for his sake i hope it has nothing to do with brad pitt's naked self.
went back to nanyang on friday.. disturbed ms lee for abt an hour.. she suggested i study science/get an a*star scholarship abt 5 times even though i told her i was in humans hrm... even funnier, she asked if i ever considered teaching. haha. and i found out she hated science pracs as well. a little odd coming from a science teacher. did you know tt eons ago in hc, they made them dissect rats abt the size of my keyboard and then told em to sew them up again and bring them back for the next practical lesson? if this seems like a very odd entry to you, it's only because i've been inspired by Memento to write everything in a reverse order!
Tuesday, May 11, 2004,06:25 p.m.
thoughts i.e. things i do when i'm trying to run away from my work and my mom is hogging the tv
what's worse than being an arsenal fan? Being a man utd/kimi raikkonen fan. This coming from a girl, who incidentally enjoys john stevens' (as well as camille's) voice, and thinks that she has a better chance of finishing an F1 race on her bike then raikkonen has on his car. Also one who is 2 days away from her greatest school-life nemesis, the 2.4 km run.
sheryl loke's rare words of wisdom: "someday when we look back, and we take away all the crap, it was actually quite an enjoyable experience"
how very true.. i hope i do, not just for that but everything else as well =) for all my very angsty friends, i love ya, be nice, it's time to move on. and you can throw my words right back into my face if i don't remember what i just said =]
so what if i don't know what the damned european anti-trust-whatever guy is called =] i've got better things taking up all my brain space. and anyone who knows random trivia like that is gay.
Sunday, May 9, 2004,08:35 p.m.
life has been filled with mugging, bitching, getting pissed, annoying people, sleeping in class, etc.etc. i.e. boring. and being the bored person tt i am, i stumbled across a website of baby names (note: i don't understand why they always call them Baby Names since it's quite clear to me, most people grow up but still retain their names anyway).
Anyway, typed in our names to see what they mean... I started with my own name. Serene, in case you didn't already know. It means, peaceful/calm one and comes from latin roots. So, having affirmed that names do indeed reflect a person, i ventured further on my quest =)
So, estelle and esther both mean star, except one's latin and the other one's hebrew. Christina means anointed one, while Sheryl means beloved. And just so we don't miss Chengwei out, i checked out Julius (Caesar) for her, it means youthful.
But since everyone is still too busy sniggering at my previous comment (the bit about names reflecting people), i have further proof. Emilyn means industrious... Meizhen means Duck (chinese roots) (okay i made this one up)and, here come's my favourite one. Petrina means... A Rock . You rock! The Rock! The Rock rocks! Rock away!
as always, the exceptions to prove the rule.. who would believe Jo's a gracious gift and shauna's a present. must be the kind of present you pick up from 1.99 shops.
ahh i must be a very bored girl.
Friday, April 30, 2004,05:22 p.m.
just went i thought zhuanghui and his obsession over steph song was bad, my brother proved me wrong:
time: morning setting: car background music: gigi leung's danxiaogui
me: don't you get sick of this stupid song?
him: no... it's inspirational
me: which part of it is?
him: it makes me believe, that there is a girl out there like her... gives hope to guys
go figure =) note: a certain mr. wu is also trying to source out a good audition piece for singapore idol. unfortunately, his current top pick, Winnie-the-Pooh, is not exactly ideal. when you see him around, pls offer some advice.
Monday, April 26, 2004,04:53 p.m.
i have a habit of finding a million other things to do when i'm only really supposed to be doing one thing- mugging. but then again, i suspect i'm not the only one like that.
found my way to my old blog... funnily enough, the second last entry i found, dated April 30th goes"i feel happy today. yay. shauna's birthday is on 23rd may. do not forget it. ever!" i confess, just yesterday, i was trying to remember when her birthday was. i did forget. again. and i probably will go back to this entry next year and realise i forgot again. and again. but who cares, i'll remember it in the end, and i'll remember her, and that's good enough for me (i hope it is for her! and everyone else with birthdays, since i never remember anybody's)
i'm also reminded of all the reasons why i closed that blog... i wonder if i have changed since then, and i sure hope i have =) of late, i'm beginning to realise how unimportant certain academic-related achievements/ my future career warpath etc. etc. have become. That must explain why i'm not studying now. Damn =)
Saturday, April 24, 2004,09:45 p.m.
i should have remembered. last night was brilliant too =] sheil looked great, we always knew she was born for this kind of thing. loved the catching up with al, da, mz as well!
Saturday, April 24, 2004,09:34 p.m.
a busy day, a lazy day. i loved the company i had, the amusement of a broken molecule, the secrets of women lingerie models, the scribblings of irreverent comments, the clowning around of a motley crew, the breeze of the singapore river and labyrinth of mrt lines, the indulging in hot fudge... if you have no idea what i'm talking about, all you need to know is, it was a great day =)
apart from the fact that i haven't quite studied for history.
Friday, April 23, 2004,04:14 p.m.
ahhh... i hate the rain. went to adam's road with herng jer, jo, johnny for dessert, which proved to be a very bad mistake because it started to rain! anyway. i thought well okay, i can still go home. so nicely sheltered from the slight rain with jo's umbrella we managed to get to the bus stop and quickly up the bus. then my stop. and the rain, lovely bloody rain decides that it was a good time to get really heavy and maybe throw in a thunderbolt or two. so there i was stuck at the bus stop. then i called home to get the maid to bring an umbrella over for me. which she happily obliged, until she realised she didn't know where the remote control was (she's new)! or how it looked like for that matter. and my mom didn't point out where the key to the gate was as well. so anyway i thought okay, so maybe i might as well take a cab back. bloody cabs all decide to be hired or changing shifts. the few empty ones happily drove past me, or get taken by others. when the 5th (?) empty one evaded my frenetically waving arm, i gave up and decided to run across the overhead bridge. my shoes get increasingly squishy, my uniform totally drenched, water dripping out of my hair- i can only remember one lousy chinese phrase they used to make us use all the time in primary school "luo tang ji, or 'drowning chicken?'. took temporary refuge at the petrol station, hoping the rain will subside. guess not. i managed to finish reading an entire copy of 8 days and it is still. bloody. raining. so i thought since i already felt like a wet sponge i might as well just run all the way back home. so i did. reached the gate and you'll think my journey is over. nope. the BLOODY gate refused to BLOODY open!!!!! got jammed by the rain. and remember, we couldn't find the key to the gate? yup. poor me standing outside the house. tried to call my parents (in m'sia) to find out where it was, their subscribers' mobiles is not avaliable. pls try again later. thankfully we found it eventually and i'm in the house finally.
get myself a change of clothes, blow-dried my hair, get a drink. the remote control appears, my parents call back, the gate works, the rain subsides, and everything is brilliant again. and i've got a history test to mug for.
Wednesday, April 21, 2004,06:57 p.m.
ah, feeling much better now. turns out i was suffering a mild bout of food poisoning. thanks to all my friends who cared, yes you too estelle. and no pet, i'm not about to die, and even if i was, i'm not giving you my camera. and emilyn, sorry you thought it was unfair i get to die, i'm sure i would have liked to share the joys of death with you. chengwei, no ,i kind of like to live actually. sheryl, thanks for offering to plan my funeral, i would have liked to come back as a ghost and watched your 'coffin-top' dancing moves as well. and everyone one else, thank you for telling me how much you love(d) me =) such lovely friends i have
Sunday, April 18, 2004,08:06 p.m.
there's something wrong with me sob. í haven't eaten all day and my tummy's been hurting all weekend. waaah. need to regain my appetite.
doggy paddled with sheil today. loved the weather because the pool was shaded from the sun. incidentally she hated it because the pool was shaded from the sun. hrm. just realised that there's something really wrong with me. how can i not feel like eating after swimming! i'm dying. ahhhh.
Friday, April 16, 2004,02:19 p.m.
mm, been neglecting my little blog.
sunday. went to sheila's hse for her birthday. i think she tricked me, i appeared to be her only guest for a good 2 hours at least :P sheil baby, if you really wanted me, i'll come- no need to pretend there was a bday celebration! sis left tt night, incidentally i found out little juicy bits abt my sister's illustrious love life.
went to watch polo on monday, quite fun, although i still don't understand why people like cheering so much =]
stupid blackout on tues night.. think i must have been really stupid that night. woke up when my aircon died on me, then my brother told me there was a black out, and then he must have stared at me with a really weird look (it was dark i couldn't see) when he saw me saying "okay" and then proceeding to try switch on the fan instead! and then i couldn't sleep obviously so i thought maybe i'll wake up to read a book- then i realised that blackout=no lights. so you see, i'm not terribly bright at night (no pun intended!). ended up dousing myself in water to keep cool.
wednesday. er. gossiped with shauna during math. gossiped with zh during ct. gossiped with diane after school. gossiped with lynn during mp attach. that.. should pretty much sum up the day.
thursday. so after a terribly exhuasting week, i finally fell ill. slept.
Friday, April 9, 2004,10:49 p.m.
being the voyeur that i am, i spent some time surfing random blogs today. well, they're not so random, just blogs of people i vaguely know.. i realise some people scare me, people are very different from what they appear to be. =) that's why i love readings blogs of people like chris and sheil, totally brainless but terribly entertaining, makes me happy =]
i shall attempt to make my blog entertaining as well. went bowling with my sis, bro and their other halves. i'm quite proud of myself.. if there's one word to describe my bowling skills... i'll have to say i'm pretty consistent. i mean, 1 gutter ball for every 2 i throw... that has to be a pretty consistent pattern. we also played Photo-Something (that game where you spot the differences) before the game. there were 3 options we had to choose between: 1 with Female sign, 1 with a Male sign, and 1 with both. had no idea what the option was for, so we picked the female one, since well wen and i assumed it was meant to indicate we were female players. turns out we were hopelessly wrong-it actually meant that all the pictures to spot the difference from were to of scantily clad females. Spent the rest of the game clicking (for the ignorant, you are meant to click on the differences) on missing bra/bikini/g-string straps or belly buttons etc. Not surprisingly, the two guys were pretty sharp in spotting the differences! my stupid brother kept insisting that the boobs in the picture were different.
re-read the teenage textbook, still trying to spot all the subtle HC parallels..
p/s finally got around to archive my spam again! sorry if you missed the earlier april entries =)
