You Know That I'll Always Love You ;)

My arm muscles feel sore, after spending the whole of Thursday distributing school magazines to about 115 teachers in the morning session. And it's wasn't the easy type of magazine-distributing, the sit-there-and-wait-for-people-to-come-and-collect-the-magazines type, oh no. It was the walking-around-the-whole-school-carrying-10-magazines-at-each-round-looking-for-teachers-to-give-them-their-magazines-and-making-sure-that-they-sign-this-piece-of-pink-paper.

Ask PeiShe how it feels, I bet her muscles are all seized up too. But well, it was good exercise.

Anyway, my sister's coming home! :)

After 4 days of being in the hospital and going through surgery, she's coming home. I cannot tell you how proud I am of her strength to endure the pain she went through (and is still going through) after the surgery, and it amazes me how fast she's recovering. This shows that we women, are tough creatures.

But what I cannot believe, is that after the straightening of her spine, my 13 year old sister is now as tall as I am. She's 3 years younger than I am and she's the same height as me! I wouldn't mind so much if she was born a year younger but NO.

People have already started asking me if I'm her elder sister or younger sister.

!!!

What's more is that she'll keep sprouting, and if she doesn't stop growing so fast she'll be 6 FEET TALL. DO YOU WANT TO BE 6 FEET TALL CHELSEA?

I, on the other hand, can only dream of growing another 5 cm, for I have not sprouted at all since June this year. And you do not want to know how I found out about that without measuring myself with the measuring tape.

So later on, whenever you see a picture of my sister and I in it, you'll notice that I'll be wearing high heels. Oh yeah, that's right.

Count Your Minutes

Today, I somehow feel the necessity to blog about something, anything. But after the one thousandth time of trying to blog about something, anything, I give up.

So now I just want to say that :

1. I really really want to go rockclimbing, ever since whoever suggested it.

2. I want to finish watching the Star Wars marathon.

3. I want to have a Lord Of The Rings marathon, if it is possible.

4. I miss my sister already and I hope she recovers real quick and that if she really really wants a Starbucks I'll buy one for her.

5. I just remembered that I ought to put my Famous Amos junkies in the fridge before it melts.

6. I like my new room a lot a lot a lot.

7. I'm going to miss the Editorial Board seniors a lot, and thank you for, well, EVERYTHING. :)

MWAH.

When The World Comes Down

Okay, so as everyone knows, yesterday was the All-American Rejects concert.

It was SPECTACULAR (because 'awesome' is getting quite old on this blog of mine).

I arrived at the concert venue smelling of rose fragrance (thanks to mum's new body soap) and went home stinking of sweat. But I guess you could say it was all worth it.

I am waiting for Michelle to post the pictures taken at the concert on her blog. :)

The best part of the Digi concert was of course the All-American Rejects themselves and the crowd singing along to their songs, but the worst part of the concert was the stupid people who pushed and shoved everyone rudely and violently out of the way just to get to the front of the crowd to hear the concert. I almost fell down. See, I had a very nice spot at the beginning of the concert, along with JesCee, Michelle, Matthew, ShaLin they all. And as we moved forward to get a better view of the stage we found ourselves standing behind this gang who danced like nobody's business and were practically hitting everyone who was standing around them, namely- us. It got even worse when they started pulling other gang members in front to join them.

Hello? A nice "excuse me" would've done it. And yes, I get it, you dance at a concert, but I'm pretty sure you dance only when you have space around you; if not you just jump up and down and wave your hands like other people did.
SERIOUSLY.

So then we squeezed all the way to back of the crowd and watched the concert from far, far behind. But it was still really enjoyable: it was cooler there and there were no bloody people pushing us around. SERIOUSLY. what is wrong with those people?

SLAP THEM I TELL YOU.

But other than that, the concert was fun, and I regret dropping my balloon clasher thingees accidentally-on-purpose. So I was clapping with my hands instead and they got all red and painful after some time. Went home by LRT after that, and I felt all sticky and sweaty and smelly. But like, in a good way. Haha.

So there you go, yesterday's event. :)

The Last Song

I am googling and youtubing All-American Rejects songs at the very last minute because I don't want to be one of those at the concert who doesn't know the lyrics of the songs and can only sway along to the music. It's all the more fun to be singing along.

And so far I've discovered that most of their songs are quite nice, whee! :)

Anyway, as of today my room has been newly repainted and the furniture rearranged. I've gotten used to the new wall colours already (when I first saw it I was a bit disappointed because it wasn't exactly the colour I was expecting it to be) but the furniture arrangement is a bit odd. I think it's because my room is really empty at the moment; the windows naked with no curtains, my wardrobes still empty, the study table and shelves idle and an old mattress propped on my bed.

So yeah, I am hoping to get those nice curtains from IKEA soon but I have to wait for 2 months for the quilt and pillow covers to be restocked. Ugh.

Never mind, patience is a virtue.

Sparky Sparky Boom Man!

Hello, I am back from my temporarily absence of blogging.

But see, I have a very good reason for my leave because I would rather delete my blog than neglect it and that's saying something!

Well, I haven't been online and blogging because I have been watching Avatar: The Legend Of Aang everyday after school for the past week. :D

It took hours to finish watching all 61 episodes of the animation series that Nick burned for me (which bytheway is now in the hands of PeiShe) and it was SO GOOD. Oh and I have also been busy cleaning my room of ALL things to ready my room for the painters to come and re-paint it. All my clothes and accessories and bags are piled up messily together with boxes of documents and such in the upstairs living room. There is pretty much no space at all to walk and you have to trod carefully once you reach the top landing of the staircase.

I will be so glad once this whole renovation re-painting thing is over. I cannot, cannot cannot stand the dust. My nose is super sensitive to dust or any sort of ticklish microorganism.

So there you go. A perfectly good reason why I haven't had the time to blog and why my Facebook wall is being spammed with posts and tags from the Love Gang.

Who came up with that name anyway?

And now that I have blogged about why I couldn't blog and have forgotten what I originally wanted to blog about, I think I will re-install my chatbox and go watch some time-wasting videos on Youtube. :)

Oh yes, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHOONG QIAN XI, who I doubt knows this blog even exists. =.=

Do or Do Not

Hello.

So the plans about the Star Wars Marathon that was discussed briefly on Facebook was finally put to action, haha! :)

Went over to Nick's house on Sunday and Monday to watch the Star Wars movies- our plan was to finish watching all 6 movies of Star Wars but unfortunately we only made 4.

And I will tell you now (and Nick if you're reading) that Nick is probably one of the best hosts I know. He didn't really seemed to mind that we talked a lot and loudly during the movie, trashed his living room, played with his XBox and bounced all over his couch.

I am really sorry for all the inconveniences caused Nick. :S

Well for the past 2 days I learned/re-learned/found out that:-

1. Zac Efron looks like Luke Skywalker,

2. Pink lemonade tastes nice,

3. Luke Skywalker actually had feelings for Princess Leia,

4. I kept giggling about how Darth Vader's breathing sounded like he had asthma,

5. I suck at Guitar Heroes,

6. Nick's condo is very very nice,

and

7. If you watch a movie with Carmen, Pei, Nick, Matthew and Aaron, they can turn supposedly devastating death and romantic scenes into scenes that you laugh out loud at.

I think if that happened in a cinema we would have people shooting daggers at us and requesting that we be kicked out of the movie but under certain circumstances I call this good, fun and noisy companionship. :)

Tonight's Gonna Be A Good Night

Here is a movie about food that most people have probably imagined/daydreamed about, and it is great: CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS.

It is funny, touching, creative, imaginative and it doesn't get you thinking that this is the kind of cartoon that doesn't make sense (what with all the food falling out of the sky) because it is that good. So, this is a must watch. :)

It is so good, that I wouldn't mind watching this movie again in 3D.

This movie is adapted from the book of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, but instead of food falling from the sky as a result of the invention of a machine by this dude, it's a natural phenomenon. Which is really cool, because imagine raining noodles as a natural cause. And I don't care that this is a picture book for kids, I want to get this book and read it. I call it a classic.
