That's Christian.
1:41 AM;
I'm rediscovering Lifehouse. I suddenly like them A WHOLE LOT all over again :D
Anyway. What I meant to say was. During teatime with Michael, Sandy and Yuting yesterday, the subject of our NY trip popped up. Not surprisingly. AND. Yuting and I are going to go Christmas carolling there! And Michael will pretend he doesn't know us when we do! Spoilsport! And we're watching Spamalot. WELLL...anything with laughs in it is okay, I guess. And we will do our laundry there. Maybe. I'm not too sure about that last point.
I also wanted to say...Project Runway 4 contestant Christian is superbly talented. Why? Well that's because HEWORKEDFORMCQUEENOMGWOW (I am only just completely crazy about McQueen). He looks bitchy but also like a lot of fun! And a good provider of reality TV-ish entertainment as well. Plus he's totally out there too. In a good way! Which is nice. One of the introductory videos is up there!

Yours truly went with the art students (except Mard and Shawn) to the A is for Andy (20 years after Andy Warhol) exhibition at Mohammed Sultan Road today. It was fun going out with them! Bev, Yuting, Tree and I met up for lunch at Bugis first and we had really delish sushi and then not-so-nice ice cream after that. Then we headed off for the exhibition with the rest of the guys. We all loved the Beethoven one. Totally funky. But even if each of us forked out a thousand dollars each it still wouldn't be enough, so. We'll just have settle for gawking at it.
There it is! One of four. I prefer the one where his face is grey but they are all fabulous really. I liked Venus too. And Superman. And it was pretty cool to be face to face with those Maos all right! We finished with Warhol pretty fast and so with nothing better to do, we went to the Tyler Print Institute, which is nearby anyway. The artworks there were pretty good too. And then. Michael, Sandy, Yuting and I went to Starbucks because it was teatime! The Christmas Mocha Praline frap is not bad. And we had a nice time talking...and talking...and talking. We are a chatty bunch.

Met up with the 401 crazies yesterday at Plaza...well 7 of them anyway! Shah, Benjamin, JJ, Ken, Zhiyuan, Michelle and Stella were the good old folks who came for the outing. Generally it was the class dolby surround crew. I had to leave early though :( We had lunch at BK where we definitely made our presence known if you know what I'm talking about! It was a pretty long lunch because we had to wait for JJ to finish eating! He was so so slow! It was okay though, because it was also nice to catch up with them and hear about how everyone's doing now. And JJ and Shah ARE standup comedians in the underground circuit anyway (I'VE CONVINCED MYSELF OF THAT). It's so weird that we're in different schools now. It's still kind of sad. Boohoo!
And JJ is no longer a mushroom. He's a durian now. But he's still the most hilarious guy. Ever. Serious. OH. LIU LONGHAO and MEHUL M DIDN'T GO! LIKE NOT AGAIN?! TRAITORRRS!!!

TOTAL YAYNESS! Project Runway 4 is premiering real soon! I so miss Tim Gunn! He's the super nice, funny, smart AND gentle mentor to the contestants on the show and BOOHOOHOO we won't get to see him when we're in New York EVEN THOUGH we're going to PARSONS (I will totally faint when I get there. This is a warning for Michael, Teresa, and the rest of the art people.) because he's no longer there but at Liz Claiborne! Noooooo...it would be so so so cool to meet him. Arrrgh.

Stole this from Sam's blog...it's my beloved PW group!!! Plus Fero Turtlesoup. And a volleyball. And yummy mango cake. From left: me wearing shades cos of my dark eyes from not really sleeping the past two days, Fran whom you totally can tell is the leader of our motley crew, Charles my BFF who's...smiley, PY trying to look cute AS USUAL and Sam who was looking all fab and ready to take her job interview by storm! These people rock, okay. Even though I seriously think we might have had thoughts about killing each other in the course of doing PW. But it's PW!!!! And we really do love each other. See see see!
1:58 AM;
Are you done laughing yet? Now let's get down to the serious business that my blog attempts to deal with. And the topic of the day is none other than: did you know that Charles has a BFF? That person is none other than YOURS TRULY! Oh and if you were wondering, PY took the picture, NOT ME. WELL...we wanted to put our pictures in our OP, but we decided against it in the end because we didn't have time. I was supposed to take the shot but I couldn't stop laughing so PY um...rose to the occasion. Charles is so going to kill me if he sees this....but nevermind! I'll remove it when he comes back from Greece. Maybe. Speaking of Greece, Chris, Angel and Xuefang went on the trip as well and Chris has promised to get me my very own pet rock! Which he will pick up when they're at the Acropolis or the Parthenon or something. And according to him, Charles will provide the cage for it. Awesome! That is if Charles doesn't get me a Trojan horse. Haha! Anyway. Charles is my BFF because he's a nice guy who does the unlikeliest of sweet things. Thanks Charles!
AND! Charles kind of resembles certain...things. Like an ogre lord, Ernie and a raccoon...just to name a few. He's loads funny too. Utter and complete ownage at public speaking. Way to go, Charles!

WHEEEE I just read Shah's email and 401 '06 is going to have a class get together this thursday!!!!! YAY!!!!! I so love my secondary school crazies. I miss them loads and loads and loads. We were the happiest zoo ever. Period. And on the 24th is a 2207 class outing! And on the 27th I'm leaving for New York! I only wish the other peeps could come along too. I don't think it would be all that safe to let Max and I loose on the streets though. Hmm.

The class chalet was awesome. But I'm now a bit of a walking zombie!
On the first day we had to get OP over and done with in the morning before we could allow ourselves to think of anything else. OP's over! Words truly fail me. All I can say is that it's a HUUUUGE relief. It's one whole year's worth of hard and yucky work after all! So phew. Anyway. I think my group did pretty good! Especially considering that we only had our first rehearsal the night before. My group is cool. Francis PLEASE send me the group photo we took...
At the class chalet...there was a lot of xbox! We alternated between Halo3, DOA and Burnout (which has great songs by Billy Talent, The Academy Is and Yellowcard). And there was mahjong too! Chin, whom I must say is a great teacher, taught me how to play. Chin is scary. He didn't sleep at all AND he had to go off on the second night for tuition. Like wow. We watched My Super Ex-Girlfriend on the first night. It was...dumb! But Rainn Wilson's geeky sidekick role was close to priceless! He was as funny as Luke Wilson and Uma Thurman combined.
On the second day everyone kept waking up and going back to sleep until it was lunctime. Mich, Sam, Amos, Chris and I went to Kembangan to buy the food for the barbeque while the rest went to Elias Mall to eat (we met Siewyuen at the MRT station and she rushed up to me and was like 'you know Elias Mall? The toilets there are called ELIAS LOO!!!' Which is an extremely hilarious Xinmin Secondary inside joke that I vow to circulate.) And for the record, Singapore cab drivers are jerks. When I asked this driver if he could take the five of us, he totally drove off right away. Whaaaaaat. The barbeque went great though! But the charcoal ran out halfway and nice PY and Max went to buy some more. Tommy and Ryan came to join us too and my jaw just about only dropped to the floor. I was pretty impressed to say the least! Which means only Aston didn't turn up and that is the end of whatever I have to say about the barbeque. We went to the beach after that and headed to the not so nearby LAN shop where most of the group played CS and DotA and Rab and I played WoW. I liked the game! It's cooler than Lunia.
The next day we sent PY off at the airport! He brought Fero Turtlesoup with him, which is really sweet. Except that the rest of us can't hug or throw it around for the next two weeks. OH and I had Swensens' Thin Mint ice cream there and Mich had the Chocolate Peanut Buttercup flavour! PY was supposed to treat Sam to the ice cream he owes her but she had to leave early for a job interview...don't worry PY, Sam won't be forgetting that anytime soon.
And all this is making me feel like we should have another chalet again! Now! Okay...at least a class outing or something.

My PW group! At PY's house for a stayover because we had to revamp our OP. It was more of a slumber party than anything else. Um. Yeah.
Fran couldn't get up in the morning. But he probably would have if he knew I'd taken this picture. Teehee! Check out the pants-on-shorts look. It's not only the latest trend but it also keeps your legs warm when there aren't any blankets around.
PY the worm! It's hard to concentrate when you're on a nice soft bed...

Just got home from a not-very-PW-ish PW stayover at PY's house. We didn't do much but we tried our hardest to think of how to make our OP better! PY's house is an entertainment centre. Very dangerous when there are deadlines to be met! We played Halo3 and DOA quite a bit and tried to watch Herbie Fully Loaded at like 3am. Not very wise. Half and hour into the movie and I was telling Fran to switch it off! PY's bed (which Sam and I shared) is soft and lumpy and very sleep-inducing. He has a spare mattress and foldable bed too, so he and Fran didn't have to suffer through the night. It was really comfortable and Fran and Sam couldn't get up this morning!! PY was giving morning calls every half and hour. Haha! They finally got up at about 12!
Class chalet on Monday. Man I'm going for sleepovers every alternate day!

First things first. Amos is prettier than me!!!!! Nooooooo...
CG 22/07's class photo! Can we put this in the yearbook instead of our stuffy old one where we're wearing school uniform? Please? Please? Please?
Kong Meng, will you PLEASE make up your mind? We KNOW that you bat for our team but we didn't know you're fickle too! PS see Fran looking like he wants to die (or wants Kong Meng to die). OH. He's even holding a knife! Haha! Looks like he's not as into gay scandals as the other guys.
Oh gosh they use the same brand of eyeliner! But Becky you reaaaally don't have to try so hard you're scary enough being your usual self you know...
GASP. Sorry Max (who was totally cutesy (she's so going to kill me haha) as Misa from Death Note) I honestly didn't know I was that scary too! So I DID look kind of freaky. FINE. But it's Halloween! My cousin Jasmin who's studying in Melbourne had a Halloween party too and it looks like it was loads fun ! That's her and her boyfriend in the picture, they went as little red riding hood and the wolf!
Halloween is fun! We should have it more often. Hint hint HINT Amos...

Yesterday was CG22/07's Halloween party at Amos' house! It was tons and tons and tons and tons of fun! I went as my funky jester which apparently looks evil to some funny people (I DON'T THINK SO). Jesters sometimes look really sad, don't they? Are the diamonds in their eyes supposed to look like tears? I look like I'm crying in some pictures but maybe that's because my eyes were really watering cos they were irritated by the makeup. I think. Oh and I was crowned best-dressed! By Amos' sister! And Amos' sister alone. Who was the only one judging. I guess that kind of means I was the freakiest person around. Next to Amos of course whom I think was pretty scary in drag. It's just me again (I KNOW.) but I was a teensy weensy bit afraid of him in his blond wig HAHA!
We went to Mich's house to get ready and her super-nice mom sent TEN of us to the place. Like wow I have no idea how we all managed to squeeze in there! It was a fun journey there though! For games the guys did the apple bobbing thing where Ryan memorably went 'WAH my mouth so big still cannot eat the apple!!!!' and the girls were supposed to eat it from a string but only Max and I did it (I WONDER WHY) but it was really easy even though I wasn't expecting it to be. PY and Chris got pushed into the pool! Even though Chris kept shouting 'I don't have extra clothes I don't have extra clothes I don't have extra clothesssss...' Poor Chris.
Oh at Amos' house we watched Saw and The Reaping. Sorry Chris! I kind of flattened him cowering next to him at all the freaky parts. I didn't really get the movies. Even though I kind of got the scary parts. THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH SPACE TO SLEEP. Sam and I went to the living room to sleep in the end cause there were like 5 people on the bed.
But the whole thing was still fun! Pictures another day!
