H'okay. Orientation wasn't that bad, although it was intimidating to walk into a school that read 'SIM University' in bold even though you're only 17. While I was walking in, this girl tapped my shoulder. I thought I dropped something or had to do a survey before entering the school, but she pointed to a familiar piece of paper and asked where LT 1-10 were."Er, I'm not sure, I'm looking for that place too," I replied.
I don't know if she was in dismay, shock or delight, but I was relieved I didn't have to walk into school alone. Daisy, my first new schoolmate, was just like me. A sec 5 student, got 20 points, couldn't get into a course she liked, and rather be stubborn to choose something she didn't think she'd like. Too bad, she's the same class with Vince and not me. ><
Then I got to know Sherlyn and Maria, who were going to be my classmates! They're awesome people lah. <3
Anyway, after it was all over, Vince and I went to meet two of his friends for lunch at Plaza Singapura's Ajisen. One of his friends was Cassidy, a guy I actually happened to know in primary school! Well, I don't remember, but he says we were always bickering because he was a prefect, meh.
BUT BUT! I saw this Yamaha shop hiding safely away in the 6th level, and their accoustic guitars are below $200! And I fell in love with this electric bass guitar for only $573 without discount yet! I totally melted lahhhh. I need to get myself a guitar once my pay arrives, or I'll keep feeling awkward.

So having my hair cut at Jean Yip's isn't my best idea so far.I walk in looking like an emo rock band's bass guitarist (er, think Twohill [NOT Rahima] hair), and come out looking like some misfit, with poseurs and cutesy-tootsies for inspiration.
And I actually spent $135 on it. Yes, one hundred and thirty five. I'd rather break up with a guy than break up with my money!
My poor poor money :( Now I have to figure out what to wear for tomorrow's orientation. Something that isn't OTT, but doesn't scream "I can't dress for nuts" either. Fuck no, I'm not wearing a skirt on the first day. This hairstyle is driving me up the wall because I look so.. SO SO SOSOSOSO infuriatingly girly!
And it's spoilt! Dried up! FRIZZY!
Mum is so going to kill me. Must.. hide.. receipt..
And then I can't wash my hair for now, which means I can't even dye the bloody thing yet. I WANT MY PURPLE HAIR NOOOOWWWW.
How I look like ah? Imagine.. Qian Nan's hair on me with smaller curls and shoulder length hair. I'll look so bad right! Argh! So pissed. Sososososo pissed.
I need Qian Nan. Must ask her how to take care of permed hair.
I asked for a body or fashion perm lor, not a.. what-this-turned-out-to-be perm!
Nooooooooooooooo!
*cries*
Grr to you, Jean Yip hair salons! *tears namecard* Just because you washed my hair 3 times with head massages doesn't mean you're my friend. :( Omae ga daikirai! Kuso! Dokkaike!
Next time I'll be humble and not ask for girly cuts. I'll print a picture of Tora (Alice Nine, black hair guy) and ask for his hairstyle <3 Tora-kuuuuun~ *consoles self with Tora*
Oh well. On a happier note:
Happy happy birthday Vince!
Yay, you're 17 too! Too bad I'm still older wahaha. At least, when my birthday's here anyway. XD
Let's jiayou! :)

Okaaaay, so I haven't been the faithful blogger I said I'd be (er.. did I?), but I couldn't help it, I was sick! :(Yeah, finally sick again. Weirdly, it happens everytime I am about to finish working! See, mummy? See, daddy? I'm not cut out for working life! I'm better at staying home, watching Project Runway on Discovery Travel and Living while income comes from you two. *evil grin*
Like Mr Chan said, I was a born
Oh yeah. Back to being sick *cough cough*. I actually kept working while I was dying and unhealthy! Yes, with a God-forsakened fever, for crying out loud! But I took off an hour earlier because mummy called to tell me she'd take me to my old family doctor while she was at Celestin's house.
Man, do I miss Bt Batok.
Okay not really.. in slums like these in the west side of Singapore, hardly anyone bothers to put on perfume or deodorant, much less Anna Sui Eau de Toilette. :( For weeks have I suffered under armpits of sheer devastating pungent-ness, and I swear to you dear friends, you never want to be 1.5m or 5'2 on crowded buses or whatever public transport parents want you to take because "it's cheaper".
Taxis for the win. o/
.. Er right, back to the doctor's.
Dr Quek was this doctor who's seen me since I was a baby. Like, really. The clinic is almost 20 years old, and is still the same. No aircon outside, 1980's style, and signs are written in broken english and traditional chinese.
The doctor hasn't changed too. She's still warm and gentle :) But I guess I never noticed this when I was a kid because I took things for granted.
She gave me this really strong medicine which makes people feel really woozy.. and it's probably taking effect noowwwzzzzzzzzzzzzzzsdfafadsfahjoxchdf

Every song that's played reminds me of youHeaven looms by and sherubs fly through
The clouds of many and the skies of blue.
We've been through hell and back again,
But I feel like there was nothing gained.
To what sin do I owe this sorrow,
For without you I've lost tomorrow.
Truth be told, I feared this day
For the minute we turned to walk away
Veils of endearing smiles had fell
To reveal a face with tears welled
Of a sight I swore I'd never see
And protect, even if I was the enemy.
The path we walk - an everlasting glade
Or a valley of the shadows of death putting us to the test
For in our hearts fondest memories shall not fade
They're etched in our hearts and laid to rest.
So leave your anger and sheath your swords
This fight for injustice is all in words
But what I've learnt
And what I'll do
Is anything but the same;
I'll stand strong and so will you my dear -
So will you.

Can't wait for Wednesday - I'm supposed to get my haircut (yes, the one I always wanted; with stupid tails!) and dye my hair dark purple! I wonder what will happen to my golden highlights. Gold + purple equals..
... ew.. sounds gross to me somehow.
Oh well! Let me recap what happened to me while this silly computer was busted.
.. I actually don't remember. Damn it, there needs to be something called a MindBlogger (or something like that, anyway. But I want to patent the word MindBlogger!). Blogs whatever you have when you think about it. Of course, this should not be applicable to the male gender since all they can think about every five seconds (on average, anyway; you know there are nymphomaniacs out there) is sex. Yeah yeah go ahead and defend yourselves gentlemen, you know that I know that you you're guilty. Juuuuust to make yourselves feel better loal. :)
But last Wednesday, I took leave to see Issac off. He was heading for Melbourne for his Masters, and will be there for five years. Pretty saddening to see him go, but considering he's spent most of his years in Singapore (he's Malaysian, btw) as a student, I'm guessing he'll be fine overseas. He'll still be on MSN, and will be coming back every now and then anyway :]
When I first walked into RP to meet Min and Yin, the campus felt really weird to me considering I'm used to walking anywhere alone. I just hope SIM doesn't loom over me like impending doom.
.. I digressed again, didn't I.
Actually, I didn't! Anyway, after meeting up with Min and Yin, we went to Far East, bought Issac a farewell gift (a crown brooch he was looking for) and got our ears pierced! Then we met up with Junhao and headed for the airport.
I hope Issac takes care of himself there. Meh, who am I kidding. I'm sure he will. =D
"So all of these items, sir?"
"Yeah. You accept Visa?"
"Sorry sir, only Nesh or Cats."
Me + job = hilarious.

WEEE TADAIMA!Finally. Finally! My comp's back up. Sweet, sweet old keyboard <3
Details later. Just came back from work. 3 more days and it concludes my 15 working days over! Then I get around $685 for my pay this July. :3 Bought some stuff already, and I only have less than $200 now >_> Yes, that means I've spent more than $200 already ._.
I think around 80 goes to my 2 week-ish allowance during work, I bought Loreal eyeliner and fibre putty for hair <3 I wanted to get MAC eyeliner, but hell I was lazy and I was upset I couldn't get Anna Sui's Eau de Toilette (no! screw you! it doesn't mean it's used in the toilet D:!) so I bought something else to relieve my achy-breaky heart.
Then I bought Converse high-cut shoes, which totally makes me a poseur now when I wear emo shirts and my S&K pants. :(
Apart from that, I bought other miscellaneous stuff like volume nine of Death Note, ear piercings, earrings (duhh), and purple hairdye. <3
I'll probably spend the rest on a haircut and this nice Kappa bag. Either that or someone restrains me to save up for the NUM bag + Levi's. If only I was able to buy Evisu jeans my size online. XD I was told they all had pretty damn small sizes, so meh.
I'll leave the rest of stuff for tomorrow or so.. Time to redownload WoW, and everything back where it belongs. <3
You probably don't even care if I was gone or not.
I become so paranoid about everyone that looks like you
but hey, what good is self-denial?
Jiayou ba, yong yuan zi chi ni :)

Today sucked.What a nice way to start out my morning by being ticked off in the morning by my sister. She wants to borrow my Neeon but says she wants my bag. If there's one thing I hate more than selfishness, it's lying.
Then during work, Amy decides to be overpossessive and test my patience.
1) I don't really have much of that for you to do so.
2) Me angry = everyone suffers. Period.
I don't really care if she's older than me, when something I say is right and you accuse me of being wrong and I do end up right, I have the dying urge to slap you to the wall and make you a latest ornament.
Then I saw someone I told myself I never wanted to see again. Too bad nothing goes my way in this life.. it's always the same routine:
Grit teeth, count to ten, laugh it off.
Grit teeth, count to twenty, pretend everything's okay.
Run somewhere else, scream, hope everything's okay.
I feel so angry and so upset. Argh.

Ah, came home quite early today. Shifts are getting weirder and weirder, to be honest. Sorry for not updating much, but nothing much happens at work, honestly.. Then again, even if things happened I probably would've forgotten it, knowing my memory is on par with a drunk bitch who got raped last night and never knew who did it.Somehow, that analogy is good.. but it's so wrong.
Hurrah! Thank goodness Discovery Travel & Living has Project Runway every Thursday, and is around 2 episodes ahead of the ones Channel 5 has to offer. Praise the Lord for cable television. <3
MIN! YIN! We really need to get out and shop soon =)
Miss hanging out with you guys! <3

Started work again. Really not good, considering we've changed places and it's currently pretty small..Worked 13 hours for the first day. Big ouch on my feet. x_o But I get money soon, according to mummy (trust her to know things about moolah first)!
Saw an old primary school classmate.. I considered her my best friend back then, but now that I think about it, I seem to be used all the time back then. But anyway, I spoke to her on MSN once, and she's the kind of person that HaS irRiTaTiNgx AlTeRnAtE CaPs aLL oV3r aNd thiinK iitShx Sh0 KeWtx. (Although Noel and I tend to have conversations digressed to the state of acting cute too =^w^=)
You can expect where the conversation led to, knowing how much I despise having to decipher what they talk about. I so had the urge to block/delete, honestly. She didn't even know if I was Gloria Chua or some other Gloria she got mixed up with. Some friend.

Finally got to see my ex-classmates again. XD They're still the same, but we've definitely all changed for the better. Even though some people didn't go, we got to see people we haven't seen in ages. So sad we all can't be together, but then again it does my heart good to see all of us moving on.Hoho can't wait to see the photos up - we took so many pictures yesterday my jaw still hurts. I hate smiling. ._.
I guess my life has taken a huge turn - I don't really know what I want to be anymore. Fashion designing sounds so brilliant - but I should've enrolled for NAFA earlier. Oh well, I could always earn it first, then try again.. Management doesn't really shout out "Gloria Chua, CEO of [insert company name here]" to me somehow.
Must stop digressing like that.. XD
Oh well, work starts on Monday. I just hope I can persuade Shaun to give me an impromptu off-day to see Issac off at the airport.

Wow, didn't notice I have over 350+ posts already.Considering this blog is over a year old, I'm not all that surprised. But hell, that is a lot of words I've typed instead of using that on English Writing assignments! (Oh Lord imagine the horror if Mr Chan read this and sees the felony I commited in the past ._.)
Anyhoo. Watched Singapore Idol results, and I just pulled my hair straight out knowing Rahima got in. ARE YOU PEOPLE BLIND?! She seriously couldn't pull off that No Doubt song lah.. Just because she can cover her face in her hair doesn't mean she can pull off a Twohill and sing well. Puh-leeze, I bet 90% of the voters are those that fell in love with artists Avril Lavigne and Simple Plan. The other 10%? Family.
Urgh, just thinking about it makes me so mad. I hope she doesn't even get near the finals.. Her ego would inflate until it goes so high she could make bungee off it. Rargh.
Nonono. Must be happy. BBQ! Food! Five-EH (you know I mean 'A')!
Can't wait can't wait =)
After watching loads of Project Runway, I think it'd be nice to be a fashion designer. My mum can teach me sewing, and DAMN you and I know how much spiffy fun it is to design and make people pretty (and undoubtedly, happy). Too bad I have two left hands (no offence to those left-handed people) when it comes to drawing anything - I pretty much have lost it all. :<
Ah well, doesn't hurt to dream.

Ohisashiburizzles!My goodness, since my comp's down after a few uh, days of WoW (my whole hard disk crashed ._.), I felt that my blog would be cold! Lonely! Neglected!
... Sooo I'm taking the chance of using daddy's lappy and my wireless router to liven this place up. For now, anyway. I hate typing with a laptop, you don't know how hard it is for a klutz like me to get the backspace whenever you get a typo D:
Anyway, on Saturday, I went to Sentosa with my two cousins (plus my parents to chaperone and drive/pay, anyway) Celest, Andorra and the little terror, Irvine. :P Celest and I were the ones who did the most walking/running around, but mainly because her school band was one of the 20+ present for the balloon festival.. thingy going on that day.
But before the bands came marching in (I actually laughed typing this), we played frisbee amongst ourselves.
Then a group asked if we'd like to join them in Captains' Ball. How long have I not played ball games, I asked myself. Oh heck, why not huh.
We were having fun..
.. until a group of vballers (we saw them playing vball earlier, but their height/dressing pretty much gave them away) came. Even though they had only 6 people and we had 8, we kept getting ties. Ouch.
Celest and I decided to scoot before things turned ugly; but truth be told, the bands were already on their way so it was better if we made a move.
As they marched by, we cheered for VS, Damai (because their dancing was so fecking cute),
In the end, her school didn't win, but it was nice lah. BPGHS wasn't there, but they said there'll be another one the next day, so I'm guessing I was unlucky. Aiyah, BPGHS confirm will have one :P Bowen/Tanjong Katong also, they're pretty good.. but I still hate them. Nyahaha.
On Sunday, I was dying to go to the PC Fair at Suntec's Expo, but when we left Plaza Singapura after breakfast (yes, I have breakfast there on Sundays. >_>), the queue outside the carpark was so damn long I could've sworn Daddy was at fault for hogging up the space, but that changed their minds to go Suntec anyway ._.
So it's no new RAM, no new hard disk, no new LCD monitor. Boooooo. ;_;
Can't wait for friday - we get to see everyone again <3
