have you ever met someone whom someone close to you thinks, that looks identical to you?
well, i didnt.
but my dad, on my behalf, did.
he claimed that he saw a girl who looked identical to me.
today afternoon, while i was doing my revision at home, my dad who went out some half an hour ago, called home. he asked my mum if i had gone out because he saw someone who looked exactly like me in the same train as him. according to him, he thought that girl was me, but was puzzled when she apparently didnt have any reaction upon seeing him. after a long 5 minutes, he decided that that girl was not me. however, he was still amused by the fact that she could look so simliar to me. so he called my mum again, and asked her how to operate the handphone camera. he then subsequently took a few pictures of her so that he could show us when he got home. as he did not know that there was a 'zoom' function, the picture was noticeably taken from a distance. i took a look at the pictures he took and applied the 'zoom' function on them. she did, to a certain i feel, resemble me though i cant be sure. but anyway, my dad is still very excited about it and has been talking about it since he got home. he just kept repeating, 'she really looked exactly like you!! i am not lying!! (though i didnt accuse him of that) you should have seen! if mummy was there i would make her get her number for you so that the two of you can make friends and take a nice picture together! aiya! mummy should have been there.'
yeah. so i sincerely hope that i would meet this particular clone of mine and take a nice picture with her to show my dad that i do trust him. =)
so if you (a girl, definitely) had been on a train at around 12noon today, going toward pasir ris and alighted some stops after raffles place, and had the impression that a 50-something-year-old man (who looked like he came straight out from sesame street) had been stealing shots of you, you might be that girl!! contact me at my tag pleaseeee!!

a scenario too common:
me: oh i don't think there's food for me at [place the name of almost any restaurant here].
friend: how come?
me: i am a vegetarian.
friend: you're a what??!
me: i am a vegetarian.
friend: so you don't take meat?
me: i believe most vegetarians don't take meat.
friend: oh not even fish?
me: no.
friend: *gasps* how come? is it because of religion?
me: no. i happen to be a christian.
friend: oh so your parents are vegetarians too?
me: no. i am the only vegetarian at home.
friend: *gasps* why??!!
me: 'cause it's been like that since i was young.
friend: *puzzled* okay. so do you take eggs?
me: yeah. i am a lacto-vegetarian.
friend: you take eggs??!!! don't you know that eggs can hatch into chicks??
me: yeah i know that. i am not retarded.
friend: then how come you still take eggs since you are a vegetarian????!!!!!
me: the fact that i am a lacto-vegetarian means that i can take eggs, so i take. that's just it, okay?
yeah. this scenario has happened so many times already. so don't try to 'psycho' me about the 'eggs to chicken' fact, and that i shouldn't take eggs 'cause i am a vegetarian, anymore. i won't avoid eggs just because of what you say. because if i do, soon after that, some people will come over and tell me how milk comes about ('but milk comes from cow leh! you can drink meh?'), and someone else will tell me how plants actually have feelings too ('do you know that plants can grow in effect of music too? that means they have feelings know?'). then at the end of the day, i can practically eat nothing, and i will have no choice but to go out in the sun and photosynthesize.

since i am taking a break from the revision (before i go to bed), and being inspired by miss greenie (lyndon) to blog, i shall update today. =)
hmm i went jogging again 2 days ago! the third jogging session in one month!! yeahh!! i am becoming healthier! but my appetite has been increasing. =( so i practically did not burn off anything.
had my biz law presentation today. it was totally crap but well, since it's over and everybody's been telling me not to brood over it anymore, i shan't.
after the presentation, went to meet harvard at west mall. met his classmates as well. at around 5, vard and i went over to marcus' house. slacked around there. helped marcus iron his clothes as i was feeling 'housewife-y'. but i don't think he appreciated it very much 'cause he complained that they were sort of still crumpled. (actually he had his grounds for saying that. they weren't exactly well-ironed-out.)
at around 6plus, we left marc's house to get to town to meet our ms greenie who was already there. waited at the road for a cab but none stopped to pick us up. so we took a bus to jurong east to take a cab there. got a cab about 10minutes after we got there. they made me take the front seat. the cabbie didn't exactly drive very well, 'cause i felt like throwing up throughout the whole ride. picked up clarence at dover, then straight to town. met ms greenie at kino. though she didn't complain much about the long wait, she vented it out on her blog. haha. http://uopuhl.blogspot.com
went for dinner. then shopped for a present, but in the end, we didn't get anything. we walked heerens, taka and wisma but couldn't find anything suitable. met kelvin, huiyan and ernest at heerens while we were there.
yeah. think that was basically what happened. anyway (a digression), i realised that this very old song of jeff chang is super nice. 'Guo Huo'. sooooo nice! okay i shall get my beauty sleep already, before my mum falls into deep sleep on my bed.

guess what's the BIG reason why i am blogging today. =) well, you guys wont be able to guess it, 'cos all of you know me so well.
i went jogging!!!!! muahahahahas!
okok, i was just joking. i didnt jog at all.
hahahas, actually i really went jogging. really really!
i just came back from my jogging session. let's see.. the last time i went jogging willingly** and alone was on 2004's christmas eve when i felt really bored at home.
** 'willingly' refers to 'without peer pressure/ without friends asking you to jog with them'
so yeah, other than that time, i had never jogged until now. that was my first time jogging willingly. this is my second. and i am super proud of myself now! so you guys must feel happy for me!! plus, i plan to jog regularly from now onwards!! (i bold the world 'plan' just in case i happen to change my mind)
you may ask me, 'why the sudden change?? and the change is quite huge.'
my answer is that i want to keep fit. =)
hahas okie, you know its not true. that reason is not even enough to cause me to do skipping, much less jogging.
okie, honestly, its because i read on a forum that by jogging regularly, 30mins per time, i can flatten my tummy. yeah that's the ultimate reason. i want to trim my tummy. =)
right, i shall list down what i did downstairs during my jogging session, for memorial's sake.
1) went downstairs to the little park next to my flat.
2) tried to do some warm-up but didnt know what to do. so i just touched the ground with my fingers like three times. (actually i did my warm-up at my void deck, because i saw quite a few people at the park and i didnt feel like embarrassing myself with the dumb warm-up i did.)
3) started jogging for 3 and a half rounds. (okie, i know the 'half' doesnt count. but for me, it's another great achievement okie?)
4) felt tired, so walked one round.
5) jogged for another one round so that my jogging session wouldnt end so quickly.
6) felt like i was dying. walked another 2 rounds.
7) took the lift home.
on my way back, in the lift, i looked up at my reflection. i looked like a cute tomato.
really!! a CUTE tomato! muahahas! my face was so red i bet nobody could see my pimples and my scars 'cos they are all red too. =) but well, good things like that dont last. so now i am having my scars and pimples back.
yeah so this post is purely for me to inform (boast to) you guys about my jogging session! =)
gotta make my mushroom potage soup now. (btw i thought people are not supposed to feel hungry after exercising???)
