  If U Seek Amy Britney Spears If U Seek Amy Lyrics

Oh baby baby have you seen Amy tonight?
Is she in the bathroom? Is she smokin up outside? Ouuh
Oh baby baby does she take a piece of lime
For the drink that I’ma buy her
Do you know just what she likes so?
Oh oh tell me have you seen her
Cuz I’m so-oh oh
I can’t get her out of my brain
I just wanna go to the party she gon’ go
Can somebody take me home?
Ha ha he he ha ha ho

Love me, hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If U Seek Amy
Love me, hate me
But can’t you see what I see?
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If U Seek Amy
Love me, hate me

Yeaaah say what you want about me (about me, about me)

So tell me if you see her

do you geddit?! do you get IT!? i couldnt.

i just thought the lyrics were kinda weird so i googled it and FINALLY. i saw light. it's so ingenious and so naughty! i would never have guessed it in a million years. ok maybe 20 years.

this song is so addictive it's terrible.

  the uncontrollable lightness of being it's terrible really. this problem that i have.

i can't stop spending money! im pretty sure it's a disease.

i was on a spending ban because, you know, i have to save for my grad trip. it didnt help that i had run out of skincare so i had to make a stop at watsons (my heaven!) to grab some stuff. i had all that i needed in the first 2 minutes that i entered the shop but spent the next 20 minutes walking around looking for other things that i might need.

and i ended up getting a towel headband, because you know what happens when i need to wash the one i'm currently using? then i would have nothing to hold my hair up when i wash my face!

and i bought snacks in case i needed something to munch on later in the night.

then i walk out to the mrt station and see this stupid pie kia shop (which is actually a pretty quirky way to name their pies) with all these smells wafting into my nose i had to get some. so i got 2 just in case, you know, i get ravenous at night and snacks weren't enough. the price tag said $1.50 for each pie but i was only charged $2 for 2. i didnt realise it until i was on the train back and i was flummoxed. i didnt think the staff could be that tired.

the next day it was raining so i had to take the bus all the way to the interchange again, seeing that i didnt have an umbrella. so of course i had to walk back to the pie kia (everytime i type this word i have to say it alound 'cos it's so funny!) shop to get some more pies, since i was already there, and there on the front of the shop was the flyer stating that all their pie kias (snigger) were selling for $1 and their, get this, toa pie kias (guffaws) were at $1.50! so i went in and bought 6 small pies, most of which ended up in the fridge.

i have the horrible habit of spending too much on cheap things.

so friday i was at home thinking that i was safe from my spending habits when i saw a spree for coastal scents. i NEED their brushes! (just like i NEED edm brushes.) it was close to the cap when i saw it so i hurried to place my order before someone else came and busted the cap.

then night came and i found this ebay seller who was offering 5 full-sized, 5gm mineral pigments for 10+ USD plus free international shipping. i HAD to get it. it was practically screaming my name, plus there was no one else bidding on it and there was only an hour to go before the listing ended (ok there were like 5 other same listings ending at different times on different days). so i placed a bid and got it. wasnt it a steal?!

then over the weekend i decided that i needed a new bag and headed over to the $10 shop to get a $20 bag.

since i am now trying not to cause any more damage to my grad trip dreams, i am trying to not spend anymore this month. now my favourite pastimes are stalking makeup blogs and salivating over the bloggers' new buys and wondering how many banks they've robbed to be able to finance their hobby and searching for mineral pigment sites that have cheap international shipping. it feels really good to add them all to the cart then back out just before i reach the payment page. it's as if i've already bought the items without having to pay!

it's all quite sad really.

just the other day i was surfing the web looking for new sites to get pigments from when my father appeared at my door. he was a bit hesitant to enter my room because of all the mess and he really can't stand clutter but has given up on trying to make me clean up. oh wait i think he still harbours some hope that i might clean up 'cos every few months he'll tell me that my room is a pigsty and that i should clear up all the mess. anyway. i didnt stop surfing and adding items to my cart 'cos he couldnt see the screen from where he was and i was quite sure he wasnt going to come in (btw when he comes in he sits gingerly on the edge of my bed like he's afraid of making the mess worse than it already is). then he suddenly came in (i think to get some stationary or something) and i quickly try to hide my screen 'cos yea i was feeling guilty for trying to spend even more and he looked at me fumbling to close my laptop (i might as well have been watching p o r n) and he said "looking for things to buy again ah."

even the dad knows. that is cause for concern.

btw this craving isnt just limited to makeup. it extends to food too.

  the one about nuisances on public transport just because you have kids with you doesnt give you right of way you know?

it only encourages people to give way to you.

but of course you already knew that; you just persist in being belligerent and acting like bulldozers.

please STOP using ur children as battering rams to push your way through crowds. we don't mind moving aside for little kids, really, but not when they're being pushed forward by ungracious parents whose sole ambition in life is to get a seat on the train.

oh yes a seat on the train is the pathway to a lifetime of riches.


it's disgusting that your children learn to be like you. be ashamed of yourself.

even more when you allow your kids to thread through crowds of people just to get to the other side so they can make some noise with their other little friends who have already done the same thing. kids dont know it's annoying that people have to move around and stuff their faces into other people's armpits just so they can have fun but you should know better.

oh perhaps you already know and just couldnt care less. in that case i hope the time comes when you actually have to shove ur head into a cesspool and stay there while your kids run around and cheer you on. bravo.

and then again there are people who are terrified they cannot get off the bus or train or whatever so when the vehicle stops in between stations, they push and jostle and force their way through the standing crowd with no regard for their safety. i mean the other commuters' safety; their own lives are obviously not worth much. hello do you know how difficult it is to lug a heavy bag and shift your body weight from foot to foot, all the while tottering on heels, on a moving bus? can't you just wait for the bus to stop moving first? what's the rush! if you're afraid you won't be able to get off at your stop for chrissake sit or stand near the door! you can't move all the way to the back just to kope a seat and then barely 3 mins later torpede your way to the front. do you know how inconvenient it is for other commuters? someone should sue you under the Public Nuisance Act.


and sometimes when your feet are hurting and you're lugging heavy bags and you look at the person wearing flats and holding nothing at all sitting down on a seat right in front of you, do you sometimes feel like dropping your bags onto his/her lap accidentally on purpose?


i do. i wonder what their reaction would be.


bad thoughts always fill my head when i take public transport during peak hours.

  the one about seeing STARS you know how i used to say that i dont meet anyone famous? well strike that. i saw a whole bunch of them filming at bugis today!

first there was fan n wong and T ay Ping H Ui. Fan N Wong is SUPER pretty! she's tall and slim, not too skinny, her complexion is so fair im so jealous plus her skin is flawless. i dont know if i should hate her or love her. tph was just well, tph. tall and goodlooking but again, whats new. Elvi N ng joined them a little while later too but i've seen him before. he looks irl just as he looks on tv.

further down the corridor there was this new actor, i dont know what his name is, and Const a nce so ng. and then there was Li Na nxing! i never thought i would say this but boy is he goodlooking! he's quite tall irl and dark and handsome! funny how he always looks so dirty on tv. must be the makeup.

we passed by a few times and there was always no crowd but somehow in the last 15mins that we were in the library, a huge crowd had gathered and surrounded the actors. lol.

so anyway we went to this steamboat place at shaw tower for 'reunion dinner' with like 4 people. yes we had a death wish. steamboat was not meant for 4 girls. we were stuffed so full and tortured so much by the 小辣 stock that we stayed until like 1030. does that make sense? i dont think it does. but whatever.

and chinatown was dismal today. all of one person was willing to talk to me. i had to mend my ego with purchases from swanston. really.
