and why are people running away from the need of mother tongue? if ur having difficulties, face it! tats life. u cant expect the government to change everything that u feel uncomfortable or unable to tackle. and why does lily neo speak like tat?

f.y.entertainment

last minute cramming within 24 hours is wad i mean when i said i studied for the paper. im already in the post As mood when its nt even over.

according to 20/20, although it is not confirmed that the first child is always responsible and the last rebellious, the middle child is proven to be neglected. the middle child syndrome is proven one way or another. im a living example. so was George Washington, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon and Jack Kennedy.

According to one website, here are the ways a middle-child should be treated:

1) Pay special attention to that child. Don't let the older and younger children dominate conversation. Acknowledge the middle child when he talks and try to include him in all discussions.
2) Spend time with him. You must monitor the amount of time that you spend with your children to make sure that the middle child does not fall through the cracks.
3) Encourage their identity. Tell them, "You are very special to us because you are our middle child and we love you."
4) Allow him to touch your breasts whenever he feels neglected.

hmm u tink george washington haf had a good feel of his mum's breasts?
thank god i didnt get one of those treatments.

so haf only 2 kids or none.
im wondering which child barbra walters is.

anyways, a male Sim in Strangetown can get pregnant when in contact wif the aliens by looking thru the telescope. my male Sim is abt 5 mths pregnant. charming.

im terribly bored. if u havent noticed.

selamat hari raya.
hope all of u had a great day yday. well i did. at least for the most part of it. yups. left home reali late at 4 but managed to visit 6 hses. im lucky neither the parents were working yday. unlike the year before. its nt fun raya without either parents coz they're at work. but hey at least its juz for one day. at times like those i stop n ponder abt those kids out there who hafta celebrate it alone without their parents coz they're gone. to a better place of course. my heart goes out to all of u. especially you. but i hope ur raya is filled wif much joy n happiness.

on a lighter note, im $400 richer. yeays. more than half of those frm my beloved paternal aunts n uncle. all 6 of u. *big family hug* hehe. i guess 18 is the age whereby u get lots of money or u get 'dah keje? ke masih skola?'. well, i get both. not complaining. still in bliss and thankful. i guess next year it wont be the same luck ah. its okie as long as there's still the rendang n ketupat. haha.

saw sooo many pretty ladies yday. it was like whoa. i wished i was guy. hahaha. bt then again they're like my distant relatives. so yea. not much help even if i were a guy. haha. wah they looked reali good in those minute-sized kebayas. ooh but then there were those erm... yea. i know this may sound a lil eeevil bt then i saw as my car passed by those who cud barely fit in their nyonya kebaya n see thru organza, squeezing on to their other half on the bike, wif their kain hitched up thigh-high and u can see the folds of skin in their sheer nyonya kebaya. it was quite an eyesore reali. i tink those who, like me, who arent so petite like the rest of them shud try to avoid those nyonya kebayas n organza. it reali doesnt help. n it only adds on to dosa of pple like me who talk abt it later. *gulps* im reali sorry to say this.

now's the time for me to mintak maaf.

to all my frens: im sorry for all my mistakes - not being there all the time for u guys, telling white lies, (okie okie i admit) telling lies, menyakitkan hati, kadang2 terluper nak call back, sengaja termakan n terminum ur food, being as irritating as i can be and all those mistakes that are juz oh-too-many-i-forgot-them. hehe. i looove u guys. i reali do albeit all those i've done above. hehe.

to those who read this blog: to whom i haf accidentally offended wif my insensitive words in any way. im reali sorry.

to bebs: im sorry for everythg. there's juz too many things i did wrong to u to be mentioned here. but, if u sayang me, u'll forgive me. hehe.

2) bending down, she took pics of the ants in the drain.
3) kept taking snapshots of people.

i guess she picked it up from me. taking pictures of random things. maybe for her primary school birthday like 6 or 8 i'll get her a cheap digicam. or just pass down my now sony digicam cos by then, i hope i'll get a better one. who knows.

the australian visit briefing's in about 2 hrs time. i think true to the SAF way of life, its gonna be delayed or wont start on time. pfft. i'll get my flight number and all that later too. so u guys send me off ok? i wanna feel like a rockstar with an ontourage (spelling?) behind me. i wish. cherio~

pets.

sarahminah forwarded this to me. its kinda freaky reading this. the primary school days. never want to relive it.


====== Remember the good old days.

1. You grew up watching He-man, MASK, Transformers, Silver Hawk and Mickey Mouse. Not to forget, Ninja turtles, My Little Pony and Smurfs too.

2. You grew up brushing your teeth with a mug in Primary school during recess time. You will squat by a drain with all your classmates beside
you, and brush your teeth with a coloured mug.The teachers said you must brush each side 10 times too.

3. You know what SBC stands for.

4. You pay 40 cents for Chocolate or Strawberry MILK every week in class.

5. You watch a very popular Malay dubbed Japanese drama on RTM1 about schoolgirls who possess powerful skills in volleyball called Meoro Attack.

6. You find your friends with pagers and handphone cool in Secondary school.

7. SBS buses used to be non-airconditioned. The bus seats are made of woodand the cushion is red. The big red bell gives a loud BEEP! when pressed. There are colourful tickets for TIBS buses. The conductor will check for tickets by using a machine which punches a hole in the ticket.

8. Envelopes given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day.

9. You've probably read Young Generation magazine. You know who's Vinny the little vampire and Acai the constable.

10. You were there when they first introduced MRT here. You went for the first ride with your parents and you would kneel on the seat to see the scenery.

11. Movie tickets used to cost only $3.50.

12. Gals are fascinated by Strawberry Short Cake and Barbie Dolls.

13. You learn to laugh like The Count in Sesame Street.

14. You longed to buy tibits called Kaka (20 cents per pack), and Ding Dang (50 cents per box), that had a toy in it and it changes every week not forgetting the 15 cents animal crackers and the ring pop, where the lollipop is the diamond on the ring.

15. You watched TV2 (also known as Channel 10) cartoons because Channel 5 never had enough cartoons for you.

16. Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Three Investigators, Famous Five and Secret Seven are probably the thickest story books you ever thought you haveread. Even Sweet Valley High and Malory Towers.

17. KFC used to be a high class restaurant that serve food in plates and let you use metal forks and knives.

18. The most vulgar thing you said was asshole and idiot and THE MOST EXTREME WAS 'super white'...you just couldn't bring yourself to say the hokkien relative.

19. Catching was the IN thing and twist as the magic word.

20. Your English workbooks was made of some damn poor quality paper that was smooth and yellow.

21. CDIS were your bestfriend.

22. The only computer lessons in school involved funny pixellised characters in 16 colours walking about trying to teach you maths.

23. Waterbottles were slinged around your neck and a must everywhere you go.

24. Boys loved to play soccer with small plastic balls in the basketball court.

25. Teng-teng, five stones, chapteh, hentam bola and zero point were all the rage with the girls and boys too...

26. Science was fun with the balsam and the angsana being the most important plants of our lives, guppies and swordtail being the most important fish.

27. Who can forget Ahmad, Bala, Sumei and John, eternalized in our minds from the textbooks. Even Mr Wally & Mr. Yakki. What abt Miss Lala??? And Zaki and Tini in Malay Textbooks?

28. We carry out experiments of our own to get ourself badges for being a Young Zoologist/Botanist etc.

29. Every Children's day and National day you either get pins or pens with 'Happy Children's Day 1993' or dumb files with 'Happy National Day 1994'.

30. In Primary six you had to play buddy for the younger kids like big sister and brother.

31. We wear BM2000, BATA, or Pallas shoes.

32. Your form teacher taught you Maths, Science and English.

33. The worksheets were made of brown rough paper of poor quality.

34. You went to school in slippers and a raincoat when it rained, and you find a dry spot in the school to sit down, dry your feet, and wear your dry and warm socks and shoes.

35. School dismissal time was normally around 1 pm.

36. There would be spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday.

37. Your friends considered you lucky and rich if your parents gave you $3 or more for pocket money everyday.

38. You see Wee Kim Wee's face in the school hall.

39. You freak out when the teacher tells you to line up according to height and hold hands with the corresponding boy or girl.

40. Boys like to catch fighting spiders.

listening to: teevee

taken from the book i was talking about yesterday. this part happened after the weekend of phone calls between Kate and Will. they decided that they actually love each other.


Kate: so when did u realise that u loved me?
Will: i didnt decide. it just happened. when i picked up the phone i realised that out of the billions of people on the planet, you were the one i wanted to speak to the most. it was like the deepest part of me took control and said what it felt, unafraid of embarrassment or rejection or any of that other stuff that normally leaves me paralysed with fear. i didnt think. i just was.

listening to: doora maar - and then silence

i just finished reading a book. my legendary girlfriend by mike gayle. its a book abt this guy who leads such a pathetic life. goodness. i truly felt sorry for him but i felt like slapping him silly too. keeps whining and moping abt his life. but it gets interesting towards the middle part lah. and very nice ending. i felt sad for him at first. nearly cried. dont think i ever cried reading a book. but then things worked out at the very end. yay.
