Interests: I like people-watching. :D Maybe with a cup of coffee, orange juice or whatnot, and cheesecake, or just cheese. (: Sitting down and chatting as if the world is going to come to an end is the love. <3 Oh yes, and shopping. I think I need new clothes, and a new hairstyle. I get sick of myself easily. 100 crunches and 40 push ups a day. (: I'm not so much about being stick-thin, but if you can't fight them, join them. xD Unless it pisses the hell outta you. Oh well. It's time to move on!

A Year

Even though I no longer blog here. I felt it appropriate to make a post, since this blog was created exactly a year ago, on this date. This, being a special day - 09/08/07 (for the uninitiated), I thought this would be of some significance. :D

I think Kit Chan just went off-key.

New blog

I wonder how many of you still do not know that I have a new blog at Wordpress. :)

http://androgynous.wordpress.com

Full explanation of the word on the "About" page of that blog. Similarly, full (albeit unsatisfying) reasons there as well.

Caught Up

Ho hum. I've been so caught up in Maplestory recently that I just... forgot to blog.

So now that I've finally made it to Level 30 (for my newly created warrior), I can come back to blogging. 6 hours of Maplestory a day, most of it spent waiting while I heal because I insist on getting my quest items before the "correct" level for which I can kill the creatures.

Went out with Shanti last Monday. Oh gosh, LAST Monday! We watched Happy Feet and Open Season almost one after the other because we had nothing else to do in mind. Both were funny, and cute. I checked up Emperor Penguins on Wikipedia and turns out they really DO look like that. Barely any difference at all that is. Good animation. Oh and Ramon was amazing. Heh.

"I can't do this! I've got to trick myself! Look, THERE! Where?" *falls*

Open Season was loads funny. Shanti and I just couldn't stop talking. Most I've ever spoken in a movie, I think. Elliot's a funny name. I could name my kid Elliot.  We ate mixed popcorn. She likes sweet and I like the salted, fair enough mix. Caramel and salt.

Went out with Cherie on Saturday, right before Avril's play. I accidentally upsized my meal. The Iced Lemon Tea was amazingly... huge.

There it is, right beside the normal one. I had 4 slices of lemon. I should have taken a photo of my plate of cheese fries. It was chock full of so much cheese and mayonnaise that I had to scrape it off.  I am never upsizing again. Neverrrrrr.

Walked around with Cherie quite a bit, tried on clothes at M)phosis and all. Also went to a rental/bookshop where there was a sign that said not to read in the place. If you're not going to read there, how do you know if the book's good? Well, come to think about it, that doesn't really matter anyway. The Anne Rice books I was looking at only had a whole bunch of rave reviews and not half a synopsis. The reviews were pretty much like what I would write, lots of praise and seemingly indentifying then good points, but with basically no content at all.

Shanti arrived after we watched little kids having a Hula Hoop challenge and each bought something from Auntie Anne's. Cinnamon Sugar!  I kept laughing at Cherie's pretzel dog for some reason. Had drinks after that. Yes, even after that large cup of Iced Lemon Tea.

All three of us watched the Justirisers before going to Avril's church's play.

Their 3rd pose I think. Do not doubt the power of the Justirisers! I used to love the Power Rangers a lot. Even have a whole little collection of figures of the group. I liked the red and the white rangers.

We left for Wesley soon after. I enjoyed taking the... rollable ruler and smacking it onto Shanti's wrist, watching it roll up onto her. Cherie refused to let me do it to her. So anyway, the play itself was pretty good and I definitely enjoyed it.  Once again, no reviews because I'm so horrible at them.

I insisted on speaking really slowly to Shanti throughout the evening because she's such a slow person. It's sad that she keeps saying that she understands me even when she doesn't. And... Cherie was actually helping her! Preposterous, no?

I was left with The Slow One because Cherie had to leave. We wanted to have dinner at Swensens at first, but there was a queue and we (well, just me) didn't want to wait. So we walked to Orchard and had dinner at Mos Burger instead. I love Milk Tea.

I hated being bloated. I think I drank 2 litres of water in that afternoon/evening. Iced Lemon Tea for lunch, Lime juice for tea, more lime juice after Avril's church play and milk tea for dinner. Hmm... peed lots too! We couldn't catch a bus, so we took an MRT after 1/2 an hour of waiting.

I think I sound like I'm using the technique "Stream of Consciousness" really badly. I can't concentrate when I type nowadays. Writing's conventional, traditional and time consuming, but I think I actually prefer it.

Oh yes, playing the guitar's nice. Makes my fingers hurt though. Can almost play Romance De Amor properly. I hate barring. It annoys my index finger.

Awry much?

Ho hum. I'm totally pissed off with my Dad now.  And I decided that since it's such a popular trend for people to blog about their parents when they're suffering from extreme emotions (related to the person/s in question), that I should do it too.

We were having an early lunch (because they wanted to go out afterwards) and had a conversation that went something like this:

Me: (to Mom) So where are you going after lunch?
Mom: (to Dad) Where are we going?
Dad: To the Botanic Gardens, that library there. Then we'll go to Yishin's (my brother) camp. (which incidentally, starts at 6+)
Mom: What?! Come back home first la!
Dad: No la, we'll go straight there. We have other places to go as well right?
Mom: Like where?
Dad: Lim Chu Kang.

*conversation pauses while we continue to eat*

Me: So what are you going to Lim Chu Kang for?
Dad: What's the point of asking?
Me: Huh?! *stares, waiting for an answer*
Dad: What's the point of asking? It's not like you want to follow us right? *is impatient*
Me: (jokingly to Mom, with a hint of exasperation) Then next time when I go out with my friends you also cannot ask me where I'm going la!
Dad: *is heated* That's totally different! We ask you where we are going because we want to know who you are with etc., so that you won't get into trouble! There is no reason for you to ask us! It's not like you're going to follow us.
Me: I ask because I want to know! Simple as that! So that I can know where my parents are going! Is it THAT hard to answer?
Dad: You don't even tell me where you're going! You usually "tell me" through your mother! You treat me as if I am invisible most of the time. You don't need to know where we're going!
Me: *thinks WTF?!*

The conversation actually got a lot more heated than that, plainly because I was really pissed with the direction in which the argument was going. And also because his argument made no sense (because it's only half true) and because he was committing an obvious fallacy.

1) IT'S A SIMPLE QUESTION. In fact, if I knew all this was going to happen, I wouldn't have asked it at all! It was merely a way to keep the conversation going, and to show a bit of concern for them. If he had just answered me, like "We're going there to see some flowers.", all this could have been avoided.

2) I DO TELL HIM WHERE I'M GOING. When I was younger, I used not to, only telling my Mom, but recently (especially in this year) this has CHANGED. I tell BOTH of them when I'm going out now because I felt that only telling my Mom WOULD make him seem invisible. Sometimes I only tell my Mom because I spend more time with her. To go around the house searching for my Dad (whom I barely spend any time with for obvious reasons as seen above) just to tell him that I'm going out the next day would be ridiculous. However, he DOES know when I go out on the day itself.

3) AT LEAST I ASKED HIM. On a side note, it's quite odd really. In books (or other related crap) they always say that if a parent wants to show concern to a teenager, s/he should ask about his/her life and get to know him/her better. I guess it doesn't really work the other way around then. Take note that when he does actually ask me where I'm going (before me telling him first), I actually give him a proper answer.

4) THE FALLACY. Tu Quoque. It doesn't mean that if (as you believe) I don't tell you where I'm going, that makes you not telling me where you're going okay. Two wrongs don't make a right. If you want me to tell you where I'm going (FOR GOD'S SAKE, I ALREADY AM!), you should ALSO tell me where you're going.

This would have been made a whole lot easier if he just answered the question.  And even better if he listened properly, so that he would know when I'm actually telling him stuff. If he doesn't want me to ask, then fine, I won't. Then one of these days, we're going to have a fight about how I treat him as if he doesn't exist (not just being invisible now!). I hate it when people want others to show concern in the way THEY deem fit.

I'm off to play Maplestory. I think I should spend the rest of my holidays out of the house/in my room.

The Week

Tag replies

Joey: Ahh. At least 2 Saturdays ago, and yet I only reply now. Pfft.
Shanti: Hahahah. I will change it if I ever feel like it. Right now is not the time.
Chuyun: I dare because I dare. A very simple answer. Oh, and like I said, I will tell you about the tanning later.

-END-

Monday. Went to Crescent's Musical Night with Chuyun. 'Twas at the Esplanade. It wasn't too bad, but i still refuse to think about whether the $20 was worth it.

Wednesday. Went to my Mom's school's concert, by the name of Ignite. This was at the Singapore Conference Hall. The music was way too loud and I had the distinct feeling that my eardrums were going to pop. Got extremely pissed on the way home because it took 1 hour longer than usual, thanks to my Mom, who decided not to take my usual route (MRT), but to waste time trying to find the correct bus stop. Neither did she turn back when she realised that she couldn't find it. Rawr.

Thursday. To the range with Melissa and Cassandra at 9 in the morning. I think I'm improving just the slightest bit again, I really wouldn't know. More shots in the black area, and that's good isn't it? Popped down to Cold Storage at King Albert Park to get big fat sausages again. I like the chicken one the most, the Bratwurst (sp?) isn't as nice as that or the beef one.

Going out with Shanti tomorrow. Watching a movie, naturally. I wonder if I should go play Maplestory now.
