Got a new phone. Still can't remember my number though. Although I've been repeated informed that it's supposed to be a "very nice number".

I got like a lao pok one that came like free with the plan I switched to on account of my technological illiteracy.

Also, the whole of monday, I literally slept the day away, waking up just to ingest sustainance, because I had this really bad really random cough that started really acting up sunday night. Anyways, dad gave me some left over ventolin from my distance childhood, from back when I had asthma which looks like this:

See? Normal right? But the ventolin was a bit old and I don't think it was very healthy to be using it so dad bought a new inhaler for me. If that's even what you can call it.

What the heck la. Haha. I didn't even know how to use it at first. It reminds me of bubblegum. Yum. Speaking of "yum". Some of us went out after the legal awareness workshop meeting at school (which so many people ponned even though it was compulsory. The suggestion of delegating the work just between the absentees and telling them "okay la, since you all didn't come to the meeting, we give you guys the lightest work. High five." came up, but was unfortunately disposed of ultimately. Shame.) to watch "I Love You, Man" (which by the way, I thought was super funny and really cute and sweet actually. I loved it.) and they were killing some time at Ya Kun Kaya before and I didn't get anything. Good job me. Although after I ate like almost the whole box of popcorn. So slightly less victorious. But still. I AM AWESOME.

And just to end of. Joseph sim. My blog is total awesome. I would have expected you to be more supportive on account of our bromance, yo.

Just thinking about something we talked about in bible study friday night. Dad mentioned in a rare moment of wisdom (lol) that loneliness is not the absence of faces, but the absence of intimacy. That's good way of putting it, dude. High five. Haha. It just hit a sore point because at the moment I feel a bit in between crowds at the moment. What with trying to get to know school people and not really seeing the church guys and dolls. I guess the rentals aren't exactly used to having a schooling me around either, and I gotta get used to living with people again so I also feel a bit distanced from my family as well (man, that sounds sooo bad. Haha. But what I mean is that in boarding school there was much less of this planning what's happening and where you are stuff. Just me, my room and my junk food. Not a good habit to have built up. But there we go.). I mean, I love my family and all my friends, even my new friends! :D Lol. But there just hasn't been anyone I've been really close to and who really knows me and who I really know and who I can just hang out with since I've been home. Someone who I really really click with. Which is fine. Just, you know, a little bit lonely I suppose. A lot of the time, I just wish I could skip past the cordial gettingtoknows and just have premade best friends. Ones that you could just microwave and heat up and be ready to use. Or that you put in water and that just grew up. Like sea monkeys. Nice. Yay. Haha.

Dad's rare moment of wisdom #2: Lonlieness is just one letter away from Lovliness. In the Lord, our lonliness is made lovely. Okay la, I think it's more solitude is made lovely actually. But I get what you're saying, Dad dude. I gotcha back. Haha. And I totally agree. But sometimes, I think I just need to be close to someone my age. Like to have a good friend who knows me and who I can just rubbish with.

Okay la, okay la. I should go sleep already. I'm getting far too 9pm chinese drama-ish. For shame. Someone slap me.

Went to watch Ghosts of Girlfriends Past late last night. It was pretty good. Very cheesy, but very cheesy works for me every once in a while. Haha. BUT one of my grreat og mates who was sitting next to me spoilt the WHOLE thing for me by predicting all the lines AT THE CLIMAX OF THE MOVIE (why, WHY!?). I will not mention your name here, because I'm giving you a chance to reform, lest in the future NO ONE wants to sit next to you at the movies. Lol.

Despite my weight gain (haiz) clearly I have still maintained my bewitching charm. Today, I walked past this baby holding a his blue plastic baby bowl and he dropped the bowl, obviously stunned by my presence. Some say, clumsy baby. I say, I still got it. Naice. Lol.

Also while project diet 101 is up and running, I can see that keeping up with it is going to be a problem very very soon. Today, while I was in the paragon toilet, some lady left her very large, very yummy looking loaf of crystal jade bread on one of the ledges while she busied herself (for the record, good job lady. That was very hygienic of you.). However, as a slight side effect of project diet 101, I AM FRIGGIN STARVING LIKE ALL THE TIME. Sigh. Normally, I'm HUNGRY all the time. This perpetual condition has escalated into a level "starving" since my diet has begun. Joy. Anyways, yes. So the loaf of bread was just sitting there staring at me. And, and! This is the best part. Just when I saw it, they started playing this french-cafe-romance-short-film-fall-in-love type music in the toilet. I kid you not. Yes, it was very picturesque. Evidently temptation is going to prove a BIG problem in the future sticking to this diet.

And those were the highlights of my day. Mainly because I was trying very hard not to think about the MAIN activity of the day, which was shopping. :( Oh the pain. I hang my head in shame when in a mumble I admit that I bought 10 tops today. I figured it was better to just buy in bulk and get it over and done with so I don't have to, quote (courtesy of mum), "shop for uni" for the next few years. Sigh. But the deed is done. Now I just have to get over the trauma.

Bet you thought my blog die already right. But I was just testing you. Confirming who my REAL fans were and all. Hah. If you're reading this now, then congratulations. You passed. Rejoice! Lol. Sorry la, I know you've been anxiously awaiting the next post (right, RIGHT!!! SAY IT!). I've just been a very busy bunny in recent times.

Anyways, so much has happened the past few weeks.

Oikos:
Austin Hills was a good break. A good time of rest and to just sort of come to terms with all this changing and adjusting and just to remember God at the centre of everything. And then there was 7 second-chickening and drinking water until our bladders wanted to explode in between. Good times, good times.

Scums:
Against the better part of my judgement, I seem to have allowed myself to have been absorbed into Justyn's lg after oikos. Naice. I think their lg needed to up their awesome quota some anyways. Haha. You know an lg definitely needs cooler people to join when their lg leader chooses "Double Dragon" (probably some cartoon that stopped airing 40 years ago) as his favourite cartoon. I think Justyn's answer has officially put the possibility of us adding "uncle" as a prefix to his name into contention.

Law camp
OMG. I loved it sooo much. It was probably the best camp I've ever been to. :] Mainly because there was so much slack time. Haha. Kudos to all the seniors for organising such an incredible camp. And the people at school are really such fantastic, intelligent, fun, beautiful, amazing people and they're all really so nice. I constantly feel slightly retarded around them all. Lol. But in a really really good way. And I really like everyone so much so far and just thank God for sending me all these amazing friends. Especially in my OG. (EHHHHH, HUAT AH!) Very very lovely bunch of jokers.

Spock's birthday
Unfortunately Yong En cut his hair so now he hardly looks like a vulcan. I took a moment to mourn in my heart when I saw him on sunday. Anywhos, despite his protests, Mei and I still bought him a women's thong (it was black and lacy and semi-see through with a little silver heart pendent in the front along the top. Sexay. Veh nice.) and a book called "The dirt on dating". PUT IT TO GOOD USE YONG EN. Mei and I left early from his party though because I was dying from sleep deprivation at this point. But still, HAPPY BELATED BELATED BIRTHDAY, SPOCK.

Gaining weight
Yesterday, after our very first rag session in the morning (which by the way I think deserves a joyful yay because I didn't trip over myself AT ALL while learning the dance. It was a pleasant surprise. Impressive, alyssa, impressive.) when we went out of lunch, I had the "good fortune" of sitting across from hazmi and next to mathias (after christine pang say-ed us. OFFICIALLY making me the only girl in the group. Pimp.). This basicaly meant that I had to listen to them (ready, ready) whine about the calories they were ingesting and ooo and ah, aghast and disgusted at their fries and the butter on their fried (den den DEN) bread roll. Spasticated right? That's what I thought too back then. How wrong I was, dude. In a cruel joke of nature, last night I decided to weigh myself for fun since I had my pre-admission medical examination this morning and I wanted to prepare myself in case I was fat. IN CASE. I DIDN'T ACTUALLY THINK I WOULD BE. 3 KG! 3 KG! I HAVE GAINED 3 KG. *weeps. I especially enjoyed mathias and hazmi's responses on facebook to my weight gain.

Mathias: "Welcome to the club. XD"
Hazmi: "see. thats what happens when the beehoon doesnt get left behind"

Thanks guys. Friends forever, yo. What hazmi is talking about is that one night some of them went out to buy supper and they forgot my bee hoon and I made one of them walk all the way back to get it for me. Actually I thought they were joking and hiding the bee hoon so I didn't think Genesis was actually going back to the shop which is why I didn't stop him. But the bee hoon got to me in the end and that's all that matters. Lol. Jk.

Meh. And so I'm going on a very very controlled diet from now on consisting mainly of wholegrain bread, tuna, cucumbers, brocolli and steamed chicken breast. I think I can I think I can. I will report back to you on my progress in time to come.

On a less upsetting note, so lots and lots of stuff to be thankful for these few weeks. Just feel very very blessed. Things didn't turn out like I always imagined to myself in boarding they would, but things are going really good and I really feel God's hand in all of this. It's good. Reminds me that God's in control of it all, which actually gives me so much peace of mind. Which basically translates into, I'm so lazy that I'm happy I don't really have to worry about what happens in my life. Lol. But yeah. Just all these super fabulous people and just little blessings that I seem to be noticing all the time. Thank God so so much. I really don't think I deserve all this stuff and all these people, but it's still happening and I love every second of it. :] High five.

P.s. LOSE WEIGHT, ALYSSA.

Leaving for oikos soon. Yay. I only started packing so late last night though, because LiAnne and Yi Loong were super sweet and surprised me like at 11pm by showing up at my house bearing gifts of chocolates and wafers. Yumm. Haha. Thanks guys, I really appreciated it. :] LiAnne rode her bicycle and Yi Loong... ready, ready... RAN here. And then told me that I looked like I needed a hug. -.- Sickening. *gag reflex Haha. Anyways so we just sat around downstairs and with drinks (juice and water la) and talked until past 2am. Good work. Very the responsible. Lol.
