The hardest part is over, let it in


let your clarity define you in the end
our lives are made, in these small hours,
these little wonders, these twist and turns of fate

going to be a pretty long update.
from yesterday to today. ok actually a short post about friday too. haha.
so muahaha.

So.
friday.
went to esplanade to study =)
managed to do a little work.

wayy more productive than what I would have been doing if I had stayed at home.
=D

which is immediately proven on saturday!

suppose to go out for "law-abiding citizen" with weeseng and clinton
but apparently weeseng fell down with some illness.
haven't asked him what it is yet though.
but from his "let's go to movie on tuesday instead!" sms today;
i'm guessing he's getting wayy better already. aha.

then my family wanted to go out for dinner,
and my brother was making up an excuse to not go.
and his excuse was "I'm going out later with friends"
guess what we found when we came home like 5 hours later?
exactly where where we left him, on the bed watching TV.
way to make up an excuse bro. LOL.

so, back to the story.
Went to chinatown for dinner!
had the awesome chicken rice we always have.
then i thought we would go home. but nooooo.
they wanted to walk around the night market.
ON CNY.
=(
and at first i thought, heyyy, it isn't that crowded.
but then i realized we were on the wrong area of chinatown.
so by the time we reach the night market.
It was people sea people mountain.
or was that people mountain people sea?
ok nvm. random.
so it was like.. this!


then while walking and walking, we came across the standard CNY plants.
this one!

makes you wonder... what exactly are these things anyway?
I mean, plants have leaves, flowers have well.. colour and petals.
These rod thingys just seem to have.. buds! and even when they bloom.. wait... i don't even remember them ever blooming.
hmmm... what's the deal here man?
Must be some rip-offs businessman in china came up with long ago.
they probably went around and
" I have no money now. CNY is coming. there must be a way to make money."
Then they see these thingys and think
"I can chop them down and sell them! Then tell them they have to throw it away after CNY so no one will know they never bloom!"
then after that went and made a fortune.
ah wells.

soso! we walked around an awful awful lot.
We even saw this cool store.
the guy was like a distance away from this mini-toy on the mat.
Then he was like "dance!" and the toy will suddenly dance!
then he will "sit" and the toy will sit down! omg it was damn cool.
he called it the magic toy and was selling it for 5 bucks.
if my parents weren't there I would have totally bought it to find out what's the secret.
and they were giving away like free jelly thingy!

And I found out I can never shop with my parents.
because we have totally different motives.
ok nvm. I shall get to that later.

So! we went to "far-east" florist after that.
I was thinking... whattt? I thought we were going home?
So i was like walking around on my own.
then i found out... everywhere were flowers.
SERIOUSLY. OMG.
IT'S LIKE THE BIGGEST FLOWER CONVENTION EVER OR SOMETHING.
THERE'RE LIKE 4 OR 5 MAJOR SELLERS
AND IT WAS CNY SO THEY WERE SELLING EVERYTHING AT AN OFFER.
OMGOMG.
THEN THEN. I WALKED AROUND AND SAW A "DEEP FREEZER" SECTION
A SIGN SAID INSIDE WERE EXCLUSIVELY FLOWERS FROM OTHER REGIONS OF THE WORLD.
SO i WENT IN. IT WAS LIKE FREEZING INSIDE. I THINK IT WAS 10 DEGREES. THE THERMOMETER OUTSIDE SAID IT.
BUT OMG OMG.
YOU KNOW.
THE ROSES WERE GORGEOUS.
SERIOUSLY.
THERE WAS THE BLOOD-RED ROSES.
AND THE ROMANCE PINK ONES.
OMG OMG AND THEY WERE FROM NEW ZEALAND I THINK.
NOT VERY SURE.
AND THEN IT WAS LIKE. NOT THE ROTTING ONES YOU NORMALLY BUY FROM AMK HUB.
THE SERIOUSLY OMG IT WAS LIKE THE PERFECT ROSES.
AND 41 BUCKS FOR 12. OMG I SO WANTED TO BUY IT.
THEN I REALIZED THERE WAS NO POINT. AH WELLS.
HERE ARE THE OTHER FLOWERS INSIDE THAT DEEP FREEZER


ok so since it was the cny period there were red everywhere. like everywheree.
see?


there was even a plant nursery!
like super cute ok the mini plants!

and i always thought stuff like these were plastic props.

apparently they're real plants.
think of all the decorations you could do with it.

And for everyone who has never seen a pitcher plant


haha sooo yeap then after that i sat on a nice rocking chair under their 'landscaping department'
and my parents weren't done shopping.
cause they were like lalala dunno also shop so long.
So i walked off and since the whole place looked so much like some overgrowth rainforest.
I pretended to be a spy and pretend to spy on this woman who seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere.
HAHAH. it was an awesome experience.
i think she found out at some point of time, cause she kept looking back but i was never spying on her from the back at all. I was in front of her. LOL. So i walked off in case she called the security on me.LOL.

so after that my parents wanted to go home. so there.

and today!
I woke up.
watched tv.
did geog.
revived my game-boy advance.
found out i can't save =( cause mine is a pirated cartridge. so sad ok!
cannot play pokemon =(
so i played yoshi's island instead. HAHA.
and then! my parents called.
my dad was like "come over to amk hub now. mom wants to buy a pair of bermuda for you"
i was feeling super lazy but i dragged myself down to there anyway.
haha then i found out they were having a major discount! cotton on!
buy one get the other item at 50% off.
then i got super excited.
hahahaa.
cause after choosing my bermudas, my mum was like "still want to buy anything else?"
I ended up with like 3 shirts by the time i reach the changing room LOL.
then i found out something.
I CANNOT GO SHOPPING WITH MY PARENTS. =(
cause:
1) they will only buy what they want to buy.(which in this case was the bermudas)
2)my mum hates the colour black. (and 90% of my wardrobe is black)
3) They have the last say cause they're paying =(

So i ended up only buying the bermudas.
booo.
SO! I NEED TO GO SHOPPING.
WHO'S INTERESTED. RUBI AND COTTON ON AT AMK HUB
BUT ONE ITEM GET THE OTHER AT 50% FOR ALL STOCKS
SERIOUSLY. ALL STOCKS.
HAHAHA GOING TO BUY USING MY OWN MONEY CAUSE THEY LOOKED REALLY NICE.
BUT I NEED SOME ADVICE JUST IN CASE THEY REALLY LOOKED AS BAD AS MY MUM SAID. LOL.
I'M PLANNING TO PUT AWAY 100 BUCKS TO SPEND ON CLOTHES BEFORE CNY.
HAHAHA.
OMG I SOUND LIKE A GIRL. THIS IS BADDD.

ok so! later on i went home first.
then an hour later. GUESS WHAT OMG.
MY PARENTS CAME HOME.
WITH THE NTUC TROLLEY
LIKE THE NTUC TROLLEY AT THE DOOR
LIKE WHAT.THE.HELL.
then they say cause the stuff they bought too much.
and you know what's the worst thing!
"eh both of us shop until very tired liao. can you push the trolley back to ntuc and return for us?"
OMG.
MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT OF MY LIFE.
especially outside amk hub. everyone was like STARING WHEN I PUSHED IT ACROSS THE ROAD.
then i just hurry up and returned it and pretend that i was the only person in the world. LOL.
then ran back home.
watched eagle eye on hbo.

read the straits times
came across this advertisement
"come on! let's gokou!"
i was thinking... dragonball?
then i found out it's some single event
as I read on i was laughing like crazy.
so apparentally it's this event where everyone brings a friend and have this mega-big party and everyone knows each other and speed-date and then get married.
then i saw the picture for the advert.
it's like these 2 guys and girls who look super fit, pretty, like awesome people.
then i realized: they're probably already attached.
imagine the faces on the people who goes to these events and find out single people aren't like those in the advert. LOL.

andand!
KRIS ALLEN IS COMING TO SINGAPORE.
SO IS BACKSTREET BOYS.

I WANT TO GO TO THE BACKSTREET BOYS ONE.
I WANT I WANT I WANT.
