I FAILED MY DRIVING TEST.

bloody f***

yea man. it was the unluckiest day of my life. or maybe my lack of luck has been planned well throughout these 4 mths, because I have never, not even once, driven in the rain. yea man.. bright n sunny till my driving test. so i followed the normal procedures, went for warmup n stuff. n warmup was great!!! yeah there was NO rain. get it. not raining. then after balloting n stuff, i came down to find out that it was POURING. not even drizzling. and i bloody hell knocked down a pole cus i cldnt see clearly through the back. i have never ever touched a pole in my 20 lessons. the worst is, the next freaking test is in OCTOBER!!! wats up man.

today's supposed to be slack at home day, after the week long of activities. but i just cant sit at home n do nothing. im bored.

anyway just found out that ive gota go ntu on fri, same day as my stupid driving test.. so maybe i can get all the stuff done at once. like get the labtop haha.. damn.

the weekend, thou it isnt over yet, was crazy. went msia with my family. took the ferry up to sebana area, n stayed at this mosquito-infested hut-cum-hotel. so yea we reached there in the evening, had loads n loads of SEAFOOD.. haha yea totally pigged out on their lobsters. had prawns, fish, n crabs too, thou they werent as fantastic as the lobsters... mmmmm... totally salivating on the keyboard. yea anyway, that was like the highlight, cus after that there was nothing to do. the next day we woke up, shared our breakfast buffet with a million flies, n later swam in some gross hole they called a pool - gross as it had lots of dead particles in it. AND had lunch after that. lobster sequel part II. haha yea man... totally pigged out again. so, highlight of the whole trip was the food. haha yea that was the purpose of the trip anyway. thou the place kinda sucked, the trip was still good considering we dnt do such stuff often. haha once in a long while is good enuff man.

yea so after we came back to sg, i went out to meet xm. grrrrrr i had to wait for a million years. went to orc green for the chinese part of rock on singapore. haha dammit! but when i was there i realised jh n gang were there too, so we sorta just sat arnd. haha oh man.. im such an outdated nut. haha u know me, i know nuts abt bands n stuff. i just hear them on the radio n thats that. ahha so i really knew nuts when i met members of electrico. yea seriously i had no clue who did what. so i followed xm n her kid friend (hahahaha pedos the latest trend huh. haha nah xm has excellent n specific taste. rite babe?) jeremy to have supper with 3 outa 5 of the band. well, they had their dinner after the gig, n we just wanted to try out the shisha(had apple at 1st. ltr when merv came we had mint, which was so much better.) haha i love the shisha! its good, trying out stuff like that. ur only young once man, n thats only the beginning.

haha yea later aft they left, xm n i stayed arnd n mervyn joined us. thats when we had the mint shisha. stayed arnd n talked till 3odd. haha was fun. at 3odd merv drove us n his friends back. haha cus we made lots of rounds in that area, reached home only at arnd 5.

n now i realise the root of my bladder problem. it was the 4 cups of iced tea i had. and after that i cldnt sleep when i was at home man.

n i just downloaded electrico's songs n i was like. bam. woa so thats electrico. knew the songs but didnt know the titles n stuff. so yea.. support local bands.

Your Love Style is Pragma

You believe love is logical - or at least it should be

You've thought a lot about what you want from someone

And to say you have a checklist would be an understatement

You may even have a plan for how you will fall in love

All you've got to do is meet the perfect person!

What's Your Love Style?

hahaha i sound warped... wth i DO NOT have a checklist !!

Your Seduction Style: The Charismatic

You're beyond seductive, you're downright magnetic!
You live life and approach seduction on a grand scale.
You have an inner self confidence and energy that most people lack
It's these talents that make you seem extraordinary - and you truly are!

What Is Your Seduction Style?

hahahha i think quizzes like that r just meant for ego-stroking.
my ego is currently as fat as i m

# 10:26 PM

haha oh yay im a subtle flirt.

was reading the newspapers, n came across this article on blog quizzes. tickle is supposed to have the most accurate ones, and has recieved the highest ratings.

bored lil shits like me, go try!!!!

"People don't know always know what to make of you, and that's just the way you like it. When you head out for fun, you don't have to make a big scene and draw attention to yourself. Your allure and body language are enough to make people just gravitate your way.

You've got a mysterious and sensual air about you, and you probably like to scope out scenes before you become a part of one. After all, why show your cards when you know you've always got a winning hand? That's how a smooth player like you always wins the game. "

# 5:42 PM

todaes my health restoration day

haha yea so im staying at home till night time (tuition), reading papers, doing hair n face masks... n drinking loads of honey lemon-- purge myself of impurities.

yesterday after sailing, i went clubbing with xm !!!! haha yea the usual 2 of us. merv was there too with his friend... n anyway xm n i had alot of fun as usual. xm got me to try a b52. had another shot n a jug too. we saved money on cover charge as it was free for the ladies on sats, however still spent damn alot on drinks. but well, we concluded that nothing much beats dbl-o. haha oh man n i got a damn cigarette burn. liq room was just too crowded.

todae, the choir ppl came over for lunch. ordered pizza, slacked n ate till we decided to head towards town. shaun wanted to shop, n shao had to go for an amore class. so yea, we had coffee after shopping, and when most of em decided to go, shao n i went subway for shao's dinner n my pre-dinner snack.

was too full to manage dinner afterwards, but as we were celebrating kat's bdae, n the food looked much too appealing, i had lots of sushi at sushi tei with kat pi sam n sheryl. haha yay the watch was a gd choice, thankfully. and, afterwards, we decided to go to alley bar!! had the humongous frozen magarita as well as a cosmopolitan.

had the last of our sailing course todae... n i tell u.. ill wait for a long long time b4 i set sail again. got our certs of cus, even in todae's disastrous wind conditions.

wat happened was, the currents were larger than the wind. so even as we faced our bow in the correct direction, some of us who didnt manage to catch much wind sailed backwards. didnt realise that at all, n i was like 'wat the hell!!??' when i was nearing kelong, n that large obscene thing u call a ship. it didnt have to overhorn us ya know.. just got the few of us stuck at that corner panicking. wat the bloody hell. so yea i was stuck there, with the wind obviously blocked by the ship n wateva it was lugging along behind it, cursing n kicking my sail. it was a disastrous mess. so yea, later some of us got dragged back to shore by the instructors' powerboat, as the wind was obviously useless in aiding our transportation. scared the pang outta me. haha

so yea. it was supposed to be from 1-3.30. ended at 6, and had mcs with joce n her mom afterwards. that part was great.

i like to move it move it. u like to... move it!!!!

hhheeeeehhhooooooohhhhaaaaa
maaaaameeeeeemoooooooooo

haha oh yea i saw a little bit of the cartoon mamemo a few days ago, while playing with my baby cousin

anyway... haha todae's great. i woke up late, slacked arnd for a very long while, had coffee n stuff while slapping on some hair mask, and read abit of the papers, which ive yet to finish reading. dammit its so thick, but im soo determined to read up, ever since the lousy ntu interview. screw it haha. but im glad somebody i knew got the scholarship, instead of one of those geeks i saw that day. gawd.

ohh after that went for tuition. pretty alrite, since the kid's the p5 one.. yes the adorable one. so after that went straight to town to meet up with xiaomin. haha havent seen her i ages cus she just rotted somewhere in her company n after that in hongkong (haha yes u xm) .. anyway we were supposed to meet up for movie n dinner. had good stuff at phochine, afterwhich we went to watch madagascar. cus shes gota work tmr, or rather later, we were supposed to head straight home. however, being our usual selves, we detoured (actually i came up with the idea and influenced her to do it) in the direction of a bar. decided on acid bar after we heard the band's version of you and i both. i kinda prefer live versions to the original, cus it has more oomph to it, and sounds more real. oh man... i totally turned into a puddle when the lead singer (cus he sings more, n he sings better) sang the blower's daughter, originally by damien rice. woaa.

haha anyway had to go back early cus daddy my favourite guy on earth was nagging. wth. yea left b4 the band finished their last song. n tada, here i m. heh, feeling really good. wonder if its the alcohol, the music, all the catching up with a good pal, or just the good life im leading.

hmm better line up a few programmes for tmr, else itd be really boring.
