About what I said in the previous post: Screw it.

Deleted it.

Now. The bottomline is - I really don't care. Don't give two squirts about it.

Stargazing *

Adebelle was so excited today, she practically bounced from room to room asking everyone "I saw Vincent Ng! Did you see Vincent Ng?!" Haha apparently he was filming some show. And when I saw him, he was getting makeup slathered across his cheeks. Eeks, he's good looking and buff, but seeing makeup on a guy?! :P Ewww

And we were trying to explain who Vincent Ng was to Miguel (who does not even speak Mandarin haha). And when he finally figured out he was in Heartlanders.. There was this scene Miguel kept reanacting from the show. Where Vincent Ng's playing basketball, all sweaty and bursting-bicepy.. And this girl walks past him and goes "Hi can I get to know you?" and he replies "I don't want". All broody and hunkahunka, in his fake angmoh accent. Hahaha you should have seen Miguel do it. Ultra funny :)

And then when we were leaving school, we saw Wong Li-lin wheeling her baby up the hill in a pram! She's fat though, and omg her boobs! They're, ahem, B I G. They have a life of their own, popping out of her lowlow top. And her baby was so cute, he had a mini mohawk! :) And then further down we saw Zhu Houren, this old chinese actor from Ch 8. Adebelle and I stargazed today! Too bad she was too lazy to put on her glasses!

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Everytime you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Lucky Draw Loser

Ok I must rant. The previous post on Patron's Day sounds so happy and squeaky because it was written before I got the news from Dorcas.

The news that I won a Samsung slide phone at the lucky draw!!! But that now I'm the biggest lucky draw loser! Why?! Because I left earlier, they gave it away to somebody else. Now firstly, I don't understand this policy about being able to claim your prize only when you are present. How many people knew there was a lucky draw at the end of the event, when the freaking dance floor was practically empty?! Nobody I asked today knew about it!

Second, what is so difficult about passing the phone to a friend of mine- who could have so easily got me on the phone, and have me verify my IC number with the organizers?? Dorcas Hailing Youyi were still around, to my knowledge. And to top it off, the phone I won was the new black slide one. Which if I had successfully gotten, would be cradled next to my ear now. I would have traded my E800C in, for at least $600. $600. That's about 2 mths worth of allowance. 2 whole months. And that would have bought me:

-At least two 5-day trips to Bintan or Phuket. All-expense paid
-A field day at FCUK, Zara or Forever21
-More proper shirts for Weiming, so he doesn't have to make me gasp at his soccer jerseys all the time
-Countless visits to Haagen Daas' ice-cream buffet
-At least 5 slimming visits to Marie France after the ice-cream buffet
-Unlimited access to the Abercrombie site's spoils, and not just the sales items
-a new dog!

Oh this just pisses me to high heaven. And now I will have to gorge my sorrows away at the ice-cream buffet with my fellow lucky draw loser Terese, who suffered the very same fate as me. Only that we have to pay it out of our own holey pockets

Move over Taufik & Sylvester.. I'm a Hailing fan!!!

Patron's day today.. Which meant lots of prancing around, centrestage action and crazy stunts.

And my LTB TA was too busy to accompany us on the centre visit today, but was free enough to participate in the tug-of-war competition. And the member-constantly-missing-in-action-with-no-damn-reason (who shall not be named, because I am a diplomatic person right?) was also spotted by my eagle eyes hovering next to the stage. Doing what he does best of course. Puff puff. Actually, he was spotted at comms class before that, where Pris and I proceeded to make stabbing gestures in the air, and indulged in a healthy dose of eye-rolling.

Oh yes, I digress. Okok, the event.. Koof and da Frankees were so good. Bet the dude has his own fan club now haha! The amount of girls screaming encore!! And Hailing was fabulous. I'm a groupie! And so was Kairen's drumming and his band, and the Muggerfunkers. Awesome stuff :)

Nicole babes came to visit today! As pretty as ever, of course. And we had ice-cream with huge oreo bits in them. Yummy yummy I love ice-cream dinners haha. And Xiangrun was so nice, he bought me an additional scoop! And gave all my friends huge discounts! Xiangrun you're my best friend today!

And the concert was pretty good too. Haha, really couldn't care less about Taufik and Sly. Our girl posse was grooving away to some awesome Bhangra moves haha. We went ballistic :) Hailing Dorcas Huimin and I, the guru would have been proud!! chouri chouri! Mariam from Zouk has pretty smooth drumming skills haha!

And so yes, I am home now. Without having eaten a proper dinner. And my sociology readings nagging at me. Blahblahblah

Spring

Every year when chinese new year comes, my mom nags at me to clear my room. Throw out the stuff that I've left strewn all around. Bundle up the disgusting amount of clothes I have allowed moss to grow on by never once wearing them. Put everything in order. Colour-and-size-coded, if you please.

Likewise the old blog that has been by my side, the past 2 years or so.

You can say I've grown out of it. Not in the way chubby kids grow too big and tall for their jumpers and squeaky booties. I have not become too el'sophistical for blogging! It's just that so much has changed in my life since then, it's time for a new spring to sit atop the old cobwebs I've since dusted away.

In many ways I feel like a proud parent. la-estrella. Which like its namesake, was the star I looked upon in my lowest moments and in my proudest joys. She held me while I feverishly opened my heart to her. All the manymany nights spent pounding at the keyboard. Smiles, tears, fear, laughter. She has truly seen me past all I've been through. From the small frivolities to the times I woke up to a different tomorrow. I'm not someone who blogs what I don't feel. What you see is what you get.

It's hard to let go of something that has become precious.

But I had a look at the archives, right from the very first entry, to the very last one. And I couldn't help but feel alienated. The odd shudder. Nothing now is like anything then. I stepped out, spun aimlessly towards walls that did nothing but knock me out cold. Before finding myself again. Before being found.

And I'm right where I want to be. Refreshed, renewed.

Spring, it really is all around.

Spring leaves her right hand resting on my palm. A breath, then a whisper. Her golden voice dancing into my ear, This is for you, my dear.
And as I look up to the falling hem of cherry blossoms, that trail behind her disappearing figure, I see what she has left behind.
A playing card. The two of hearts.
Nestling atop the life lines that cross endlessly on my palm.
A figure in the distance, arms outstretched. My hand to rest in his.
Finally found.
