Asylum Room #4

I wanna update properly here, but my dad's swooping in and out of the study room.

The last few days of the hols were uneventful- I had four tuition days in a row, which means the disgusting Paedophile four times in a row. He was annoying as usual. He kept staring in my direction and at my paper when I worked on it, causing me to exclaim, "Eh, please stop looking here can? You make me think I got everything wrong."

To which he replied, "I want to see where, is my problem. Shut up and do your work."

It took me all my patience and courage not to stab my Uncle Toby's in his stupid bug-eyed face.

Sheesh, dad's back. Gotta go. tata!

At office now with nothing to do but Math.

"Anyone can speak Troll, all you have to do is point and grunt."
-Fred Weasley, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

I am currently at Cheryl's house- totally stoked! :D

Nothing much these few days, çept getting stuck in Mommaz's office for hours on end. We watched The Forbidden Kingdom and Rush Hour 3 together on the net though. Rush Hour 3 was as good as I remembered it to be.

(Genevieve: I've never been with an American man before.
James: Neither have I!)

("Lee, I saw my life flash before my eyes. I was married to a Chinese woman and we had three kids and they all looked like you except darker!")

I didn't understand The Forbidden Kingdom cos there were no subtitles and Jackie Chan and Jet Li aren't exactly the best English speakers. My mom was impressed with The Forbidden Kingdom, though.

Tomorrow I'm going to East Coast Park to cycle with Cheryl, Darryl, my aunt, uncle and gran. It's gonna be cool- I haven't been soaking up sufficient Vitamin D in so long.

Don't worry, Elise, about the glittering thing. (Grins)

"I loved playing Edward Scissorhands (1990) because there's nothing cynical, jaded or impure about him. It's almost a letdown to look in the mirror and realize I'm not Edward."
-Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp says strange things.
As strange as my dad. Maybe he can read minds, or it's just that my obsession with any RPatt has not gone unnoticed by him :D

Dad: Some guy from the cast in Harry Potter died.
Me: *Thinks RPatt* NOOOOO!
Dad: No, not your Edward Cullen guy. Someone else.
Me: *Makes face* You can read minds?
Dad: No. I am your father.

It's true that some Harry Potter cast guy died, but it's not someone who holds a major role. In fact my dad didn't know who that guy was, despite the fact that he's read books one through four (I think).

And my dad also said

Dad: That Edward Cullen/ Cedric Diggory guy is very handsome!
Me: Of course!
Dad: Like me!
Me: ...
Dad: ...
Me: You cause grief, dad.
Dad: One char siew peng with extra sauce, please.

Anyway, I went over to Cheryl's and she and Dahli came over to my house. My house is bloody boring unlike theirs.

We made CREPES!


Sweet crepes @ Cheryl's house
(Banana + Ben&Jerry's Cookie Dough ice cream yum)


Savory crepes @ my house
(Mushroom fillings! Ooh)



Then I started torturing Cheryl





It's payback time, Cheryl! Approximately ten years ago I built my masterpiece Mattress House with Bolster Pillars and Blanket Doors and you came and knocked it all down. I am a calculative person :D

Anyway in the last picture (the one with the thumbs up), I tried to imitate Timotheus's ticko smile. I think I succeeded!

We went to look at Threadless designs too. I love the designs!






I wanna get this for Mr Liu on Teachers' Day! What say you, 412?
Click to enlarge. It's a periodic table spoof.




I got this bear one. It's cute!

Speaking about bears, I watched Kung Fu Panda! It was awesome. It kept me laughing from the start to the end. My parents couldn't get enough of it either. So, go watch it!

WATCH THIS!

Yep, you can start screaming now.

I had another weird dream yesterday!

I fell asleep reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for the nth time, so I guess that was the reason for the weird dream. In the dream, Harry was in Moaning Myrtle's toilet. He found Riddle's diary and picked it up and ping! Rem and Ryuk appeared in front of him. He (Harry, not Rem, or Ryuk) screamed and said something in Japanese (I must be going insane). I woke up after that.

Literature seminar later. I can hardly wait.
Not!

I AM AT JIMJAMS'S HOUSE RIGHT NOW AND HER KEYBOARD IS KINDA SCREWED! :D

I snuck out yesterday. Jimjams and I took neoprints and neoprints of our own. Ummmm.



It is not my fault Jamie is a freak


No I don't like you Jimjams.


You see what I mean?

-Sirius Black, Harry Potter

I am grounded. Again. On the first day of the holidays!

This is just my luck.

The only person I can go out with is Cheryl jie now. And my mom. Bleagh. (Mom, not Cheryl)

I am going to go watch Accuracy of Death with Pops tonight, and possibly Mommaz. Takeshi Kaneshiro!

"Overprotective fool."
-Alice Cullen on Jasper Hale, Eclipse

PTC was terrifying.
I think I just kinda like, blanked out for the most part. Mr Ng was talking about stuff (results, future career paths, conduct etc) and I just sat there and stoned until my mom got up to leave.

She just nagged, as usual. I have been listening to the same things for fifteen (this year sixteen) years. I think I can recite her speech from back to front already.

I'm going for the To Kill A Mockingbird movie screening later with the Literature peeps. Hopefully the 1960s (or whenever it was filmed) version will be good. We can't hope for Lord of the Rings animation, of course :D

"These violent delights have violent ends."

Don't worry, this post won't be filled with Twilight.
I just wanna mention my prediction here.

(Part of the post)


8) Cedric Diggory



Found another Edward face. Well he's got the gentle Edward Cullen Look I'm searching for, but James Franco is still the best. This one comes in second.

:D
NOT SECOND ANYMORE!

I can give Alice Cullen a run for her money. My prediction skills are kickass.

Pictures from the last class outing (on Vesak Day)



I look like a mutant.
Look at Chrysan too!



Shoes! (Jamie: Stop suaning me!)

Today

It was great fun today after school. We (412) got to go to Settlers' Cafe with Mr Liu.

Yuqian, Mag, Jamie and I snuck out first to Frolick to get yogurt first though. We got badges this time round, but you can't choose. It's okay, I guess. I'd really like the Size Matters: eat more one and We Stay Hard Longer Than Ice Cream.

The three of them robbed me of all my cash!!! I am broke now.

The games at Settlers' Cafe is dead cool. We played quite a few- we managed to play the dice one, the monster game, the fruit one (that Mr Daren Tay is supposed to be King at), the robbery + styrofoam gun game and the one where we screamed the shit out of ourselves (the balancing thing).

Yining was damn funny, I tell you. We kept conspiring to make Chrysan lose :D

Walked home in the rain at 6, almost 7. The crumblies moaned at me for returning home so late.
Well, at least they didn't scream at me. They half-yelled.


It is PTC tomorrow! I sincerely hope that a bomb will just descend upon me right now. There is the TKMB movie screening at 5 tomorrow as well and I can't wait to get away from A.T. soon enough.

I cannot bear to watch Aska Yang (楊宗緯)'s face when he sings. It is painful.
蕭敬騰's voice is more unique (to me, anyway)

I absolutely love Students' Sketchpad!!! It's been ages since I last viewed their comics cos they've not updated since 2006. I hope they do, seriously.

I think it's really beautiful- I like the colors.

I mean, Edward Cullen on anything= not beautiful= not possible.

I am so freaking tired.

...

Let's try again.
I sound like a whiny angsty teenager (I am? I am?)

Okay, there are no words!

It's good to be able to detach myself from my double-life and re-enter reality (aka the life outside of Edward Anthony Masen Cullen). But reality isn't exactly the most fascinating thing around. I mean, I'm taking my mid-years now, whaddya want from me?

I am a bad friend. I ditched tuition and studied at home for a bit before going out with Jamie. Jemimah was all alone and had to deal with this new trainee teacher from China who, according to Jemimah, talked about Sun Wu Kong during class. How perfectly interesting, I must say.

However, I thank the tables for ditching that particular class; it was a class I didn't have to sit through.

Jamie and I shopped for a bit at Orchard, then we moved on to Bugis. We spammed pearls in our bubble teas. Happy Cup makes me happy, but the prices don't.

We took neoprints. Saw authentic Japanese schoolgirls. I wanted to kidnap one! They're so (insert cooing sound here) adorable.

After mooching around Orchard we made our way to Bugis, the haven for LianBengs and JieMuis. We didn't see anyone with the Jiemui duo-colored skinny jeans, but we saw someone stick badly photoshopped, self-taken, blown up pictures of herself around Bugis Street.

Extremely hilarious, I tell you. No kid is nicknamed Mao Mao. Sad. ain't it?
Maybe she's still living in the past, where the only thing people waxed were their cars.


Today we had our second paper for English Literature (Off Centre). It's kind of ironic, really. There we were screwing our nails into our sweaty palms as the eyebags deepen on our corpse-like faces. We write, write, and write. About what? You can laugh here. Off Centre is about two characters, Vinod and Saloma. Saloma suffers from schizophrenia while Vinod suffers from severe depression due to the intense pressure from school. Results. Parents. Society.

Ironic, ain't it?

But I digress. I am very pleased today because I managed to down two pratas (Mr Prata, no less) for breakfast this morning. This is happening for the first time in six days! For the past six days I have hardly had a meal a day for the fear of seeing my food reappear with my digestive juices in full glory.


I'm very tired right now- maybe I ought to grab a few winks of sleep. It's just my luck to be the only one at home who suffers from insomnia and weird dreams. Every time I fall asleep at night, I immediately get launched into strange dreams.

On Saturday, Miss Rani appeared at night to give me my English Comprehension paper (the exams are seriously...).

She shook her head infinitesimally, sighed and said, "Very close." I took back my paper, and there was a huge "ELEVEN AND A HALF OUT OF ELEVEN" scrawled in red ink. I looked up at Miss Rani in horror, who disappeared.

Last night, someone told me in a deep voice, "I can climb through your window just like your vampire can."
I shouted to the misty figure, "Fuck you, I live on the twenty-third floor!" and then woke up.

Not bad, I swear in my dreams too!

Back to the other half of the double life. :D

"I'm sorry that people are so jealous of me... but I can't help it that I'm so popular."
-Gretchen, Mean Girls

You ask me if I loved you
And I choked on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly

At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by

At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Jamie's and my translation (into Chinese):

有时候 我们摸摸
诚实太多多
我们得闭上眼睛躲躲

The rest don't make sense. :D
