I woke up at hmmm lemme see 9.16am today? LOL. I cannot possibly tell you how many ch 5 TV sitcoms. Well, I'm not exactly watching them, I just leave it on. I reckon I'm too used to the noises from that black box. LOL. Wasteful city kids. I bet Singapore has the largest couch potato population. In America/Aussie/Europe,they don't usually place their TV sets (equipped with full hi-fi sets, VCD player...well, the works) in their living rooms, they usually leave it in the common room (for recreation).





On that oh-so-magical outing yesterday...




Headed down to Bishan yesterday morning. Met up with Sharon (mah cousin) in the morning cuz she's also heading down to Bishan, our motive's to catch campus superstar in action. LOL. Sugi's cute. But short. All went rather smoothly when I finally got outta the house, well, no bad hair day AND the weather's really cool and comfy. UNTIL I reached the darn MRT station. I actually brought everything out except my EZ-Link card. Aargh. So, I'm forced to buy a standard ticket from one of the row of crummy-looking machines with a map on. God, I'm not good with machines. No honestly, it's either me who gets all cranked up with machines or it's those machines who cranks me up.

Finally! We saw many students in uniforms (duh?), yes but WITHOUT their name tags on. So, we were there spotting people from our schools, occassionally larfin at the singing (yes, we are mean) and stuff. There weren't many people though. There's one thing I can't figure out though, why are the judges actors/actresses/hosts/even an ex-beauty queen turned actress/host (golly!)...anything BUT people from the music industry? Well, they prolly need these media people to boost their publicity or maybe they can't afford to invite music professionals? I mean, it's like they don't really give a shit about this campus superstar anyway. I bet they're hoping to pick out some rare talents among this bunch of teens outta sheer luck and then exploit the living daylights outta them. Man, TV these days are filled (or should I say contaminated) with idol-O-mania. Oh yeah, a NYJC-ian yr 1 girl got in. She's awesome!

Moving on! LOL. Just when we were moving outta the place ( filled mostly with 14-16 yr olds and God, I felt like a senior citizen around them), Renmin was there! Well, so I joined her while my cousin, sis and their friends went on for lunch. I was so darn happy seeing her! I mean after such a long time not seeing each other. LOL. It was really awesome, I can't describe it though, it just felt so familiar and comfy. And I should add this: Shimin was late by an hour cuz she overslept! LOL. And she then she got her grandma to experiment different hairstyles with her hair. Looking at her (head), it was quite a hit! LOL. As Shing Yeen says, she does look cute man. Hahaz...like an overaged child. LOL. Her hair was holding up pretty well before it sorta collapsed? Hahaz...you still look great lar Shim.

Everyone looked pretty much the same. Except for our diva: Shing Yeen. LOL. She's moved on from a boA look to a hot mama look. Hahaz...she's got her hair straightened and dyed a cool and natural-looking shade of brown. Hot hot hot! Hahaz...I'm lovin it!

After getting the tickets, we went back to the audition ground and managed to see Sugi (well, barely cuz we were nearer to the entrance than to the stage) entertaining the crowd with lame jokes and his singing. We stood there for ages, listening to song after song before Shim finally appeared! LOL. We then headed down to pasta mania for brunch. Well, Shim was supposed ta treat us to brunch as punishment for not being punctual. LOL. But we let her off since she didn't have enough $$$ and more importantly, cuz she's our cute lil matey. LOL. Fret not Shim, we'll leave it to next time. Hahaz...pasta mania's pasta were awesome! The ambience was great (I think it's cuz of those maroon 'n' cosy-looking walls). I had mussels 'n' clams with white wine and garlic sauce. *slurps n burps* Food really tastes great when you're in good company. LOL. And that was when Shim's '5mths impregnated tummy' appeared.

We went on to swensens for dessert. We had giant earthquake. LOL. It looked...gigantic. The ice-cream, in the beginning was totally yummy and yummy-looking...seconds later, the misty fumes streaming profusely outta the salt-shaker thingy died out...the choc+caramel+cream+ice cream= sinful, but heck, was it heavenly. Minutes later, the ice-cream sorta begun ta look a tad deformed. Everything sorta merged into one yucky mess. Not only the ice-cream bowl was messy, heck, we even messed up the table. LOL. We really should have left some tips. LOL. We chatted and talked about our lives and the past, but Renmin had to answer the call of nature so we went for a toilet break.

LOL. Hours later, we were in the cinema...FINALLY! LOL. Shim's was chiong-in for PRIME seats where Shing Yeen proceeded to torture her. LOL. The movie was pretty awesome! Many people were criticising it and stuff, prolly cuz they've recently read the book and still had a fresh memory on every little detail. But for a 600++ pages book to be condensed into a 2hr30mins movie, I thought it was a pretty smooth delivery. Man oh man, the Quidditch Worl Cup stadium reminded me of the Millenium stadium...only better! It was so cool! If only we had all these for 2006 World Cup...imagine Michael Owen flashed across the whole stadium ala Viktor Krum style. LOL. The triwizard tornament was another killer! It gave me an adrenaline rush! Aargh, Cedric's good-looking but Harry's my hero! He's so darn brave and righteous! But, he got 'molested' by moaning myrtle! Aargh, that ghost of a bitch! LOL. Ron was totally hilarious at the Yule Ball. But it was really sad when Cedric died and at tt moment when the ghost of Cedric said "Take my body back to my father" it opened my floodgates. Well, by the end of the show it had me wanting to see more of Harry Potter!

LOL. By the end of the show, God knows what time it is. We went for a pocket-friendly dinner at LJS where we had combo 1 as usual. LOL. Thank God for LJS! By the end of it I felt like I was carrying a HUGE water balloon in my tummy. But it was a truly magical day. We reminisced the past, chatted about the present, and even planned the future. LOL. Our future outings I mean. Picnic trip at Sentosa and loads of window-shopping before all of us start work n stuff. LOL. Shit, I'm missing you guys already.

Ahhh~ Hope to see you guys soon! And hopefully, we'll have the whole gang of mates this time! Maybe we can meet up with Kan Ee mid-Dec? Man, the holidays hold so much possiblities! Well then, for now I'm hitting the books...only this time, I'm gonna do it willingly. LOL. Till then...take care folks!




P.S: Shim! Send me those 'neo-prints' we took!
