light hearted stuff

sowie abt my tone of voice dis couple of daes to u guys, or as kh so aptly put it, 'emo'. cant help feeling down at 4am ytd morn when i woke up to rush my EE essay though. ok neways,w ads new in my lyfe.

I GOT PLASTIC SPECS! N NOT JUZ 1, I GOT 2!!!
ok it was real funnie. ok lemme start off wif e dae when i went to make my specs. it was sat if i rmb correctly. was at de Izaac's as usual at paragon n yeah after e opt checked my eyesight n all n found dat it din change much if not at all (YAY!!!), i was taken to e outer room to choose my frame. ok, i noe its abit late to catch onto dis fashion trend, but i was dying to change outta my specs which was severly outta shape and on e verge of breaking in 2, with the lenses severly scratched, to funky plastic ones as was and i tink still is e trend. so ok, first i saw some in e display cabinet so i went over n started looking. one of the shop assistants came over to help and i tried on a few but din reali lyk any. then came e fun part.

my brilliant dad walked over to the display cabinet on e wall wif e alan miki frames which i totali 4got abt (trust mi, i had every intention of gettin alan miki specs made dis time round), took a pair off e HIGHEST shelf and asked, 'how abt dis?' e specs were quite nice off course. but so was e price. (you know, dere's a gd reason y its on e highest shelf). neways i was gettin reali interested in e ones on e top few shelves while my dad, hu was informed to e sales assistant to his dismay dat e ones on e higher shelves were e high priced frames, started to try and divert my attention to e low priced ones. actuali i was kinda blind when i was tryin on the frames (my degree is 800) and tog wif e fact dat my mom and sis were not there, so i had ta go against my better judgment and trust e sales assistant hu was on my dad's side (though its kinda weird, cos usuali u'ld wanna make more profit by pushing e high ranged items first b4 slowly workin ur way down to e low-priced items). it proved bad cos it was reali obvious, esp when i tried e high end ones n dey gave e same comment saying i looked too mature (hello, im 17 goin on 18, soon to be an adult, too mature??? gimme a break!) so ok lor. den in e end settled on one mid priced one costing 300 plus. den i did e most stupid thing i could. i went baq to try other frames. den e sales assistant, now knowing my dad's low budget for dis time (hey, i ever got a pair of calvin klein specs b4), started takin out e extremely cheap frames. i mean, 88 dollars for a frame??? n yeah, dey kinda praised it to e high heavens n how gd i looked in it n i was totali helpless, so in e end i had to go wif dem. den a brainwave came.

i asked e sales assistant whether the frame came in other colours besides black with yellow horizontal stripes down e side. so she took out a white one with black stripes down e side and an orange one wif black stripes down e side. so i tried dem on, n off course e white one looked e most funky, n thus was most opposed by my dad. but i insisted on e white one. den i asked him wif a chuckle whether i could haf both. n yeah, he had no choice but to agree. so ok lor, it was e black and one more, n in e end i chose e white one. but not b4 givin nicholson a call to see whether he minded mi havin e specs wif e same coloured frame as his (l8r i found out he switched to metal frameless, so yeah i switched frm metal half frame to plastic, while he did e opp, e irony).

neways on wed i went baq to collect e specs after skool, and while crossin e junction btw ngee ann city and paragon, hu shuld i bump into midway but shawna my classsmate. she was wif her frens. so ok lor, we waved to each other, but after we just barely passed each other, her frens in quite a loud voice were lyk 'you know him???' i was lyk oh shit, dats either a gd thing or a bad thing, n i hate e chances. but i mean lyk, c'mon, i barely walked past u pple! a small incident.

e next dae, boy, was damn funnie, i wore e pair wif e black frame to skool cos i felt it made me look more serious and studious. so yeah, it aso happened to be doomsday n we were gettin our results baq, all e better. so ok lor, den midway thru collectin papers, i was feeling down cos e results werent looking gd, n those were e papers i tot i did veh well, so i took out my other pair and put it on n kept e black ones. b4 dis i was tokin to joel. but joel went out to e toilet. so when he came baq, i turned arnd and pointed to my specs n said 'hows dis?' n HE DIN GEDDIT!!! omg la, so slow. n he was quite confused, but he had no time 4 it cos e teacher soon had to verify his results. when e teacher verified mine, i turned arnd again n dis time, him and ian noticed n ian was lyk 'omg, ur specs changed colour!' while joel was lyk, 'lemme guess, its one of those cool things dat changes colour according to temperature rite?' LOL

im sorry to disappoint you, im not a walking thermometer.

but yeah, dat was my lill specs incident. throughout e whole dae i was alternating btw specs for e diff meetings we had lyk 4 e post results briefing wif e principal i wore black again and for e saf tok i wore white. so yeah, quite fun (=.

other den dat, no other funnie incident happened. though i must quit e habit of glowing damn brightly all e time. cos seriously, anyone becomes a 100 watt lightbulb when dey're arnd tim wee and xh. lol. n gab i'll nv 4give u 4 e trauma i exp when u left mi wif dem to buy food e other time after we dota-ed.

oh yeah, speakin of dota, gab rox la, its lyk, 2 daes b4 his exam, we went out to study, n barely did anything, cos once kh came we started tokin a hell lot. den after dinner n all, he din go home but instead came wif mi n kh to dota, lyk wth. n we all got carried away, 1/4 my fault, 1/4 gab's, but e champion's still kh wif 1/2 fault cos it was alrdy damn late n after e dota game he was lyk, 'footman frenzy?' WTH LA! gab n i, off course couldnt resist, i myself off course cos dey were quite noob at it :p. so after e game we were lyk, SHIT, ITS DAMN LATE! n yeah, at 1130pm 3 pple could be spotted running to dohby gaut station to catch e last train. dat was damn stupid. lol.

oh yeah, one more big news. I CLEARED E FOCUS CAMP!!! YAY~ onli haf ta go 4 e stupid chi one which is compulsoy for everyone regardless of how freakin high u scored, cos seriously e lowest in our class was a 77? oh, speaking of chi, ok, one more last funnie incident. again it was joel, my classmate, hus chi is reali hardcore. at e start of e yr e ex-hcl students were all veh competitive, except mi off course hu'll onli start laughing when i managed to beat dem at any test cos among dem i probably sux e most. n yeah, joel was e most hardcore wif e taiwan accent he can use anytime he pleases cos he learns his chi frm watching taiwan shows. wth la. den yeah, 4 e end of yrs cos durin CTs he was quite pissed dat i beat him at chi, i tink i owned him by 2 marks which when converted to 100% is quite alot. 2nd in class la, n somemore i anyhow wrote. neways dis final yr, e funnie thing was he had to sae so loudly 'aye josh arh, so how much u get for chi?' n i was lyk '85 la'. den he said DAMN LOUDLY 'YES, I OWNED U, I GOT 90, HAHAHAHA!' dat was when it all started. first it was victor hu proclaimed real loudly, 'OMG U NOOB, I OWNED U, I GOT 91!' n den one by one e others were aso lyk, 'YES I OWNED JOEL KHOO I GOT (90+x) MARKS!' (whereby x is a real number greater den 0 and smaller den 6). but e one to put the icing on the cake fell on none other den vickiie hu was lyk, 'OMG I GOT 95 MARKS!' n everyone was lyk 'OHHHHH!!!!!!!!! JOEL GOT PWNED BY A GAL!!!' lol, e atmosphere was fantastic! off course poor joel had no place to put his face after dat. he was traumatized n almost din sae anything for e rest of e dae.

neways those r e light hearted incidents, be prepared for more emo soon. yet again mebbe not, still havent posted abt being on cloud 9 recently :p n mebbe in 13 hrs time, i will be. wish mi luck.
