But my blogskin! I really like it! :D
I have ONE post there. Maybe I should just have TWO blogs. *lol* Sometimes I -do- get into the livejournal mood okay.
Go on, check both from now on.

Yes mel, I'm copying you.. I couldn't stand to have a connection for so long, what with me using blogger and you using livejournal..
It just hurts so much..
..mel?
....MEL?

Belated, but never mind. :D
Mel gave me a Starburst (..starburst right?) gummy snakes thing!
The fruity taste was very very strong, I must say. Thanks mel!
Ros gave me a 1GB thumbdrive! SO COOL! I shall wear it around school next year, probably. :D
Sorry, no pictures.. Too lazy to take, upload, then post. :D
So. Thank you all!
When Ros gave me the present, it came with a receipt, and I thought:
"Silly girl."
Then later that night, when I got home and read her note, she said that she gave it to me intentionally cause there was a 2 year warranty on it.
Her note was incredibily messy. Chicken scratchings, I must say. Just bigger. Circular cancellations.. scrawls.. Uneven handwriting..
And then.. I don't know why..
Call me emo if you must, but I felt it.
I mean, I don't know if it was cause the note was so pathetic it just incited my pity, or if I truly was touched cause I realised that.. You know what? I think I've found them. I think I've found the friends that truly ARE friends.
Not just because of the presents, but it was through these presents that I realised. I learnt the magnitude to which my friends would go for another. I used to only have 2 of such friends last year.
Look at me now. I have a whole classful of them, and MORE.
By my standards, I don't think I'm a very good friend, but looking at how much I've learnt in the past year..
I want to thank my friends, ALL of you. Mainly my classmates + Jerine + the other people.
You all have shown me what it truly is to be a friend. You showed me how, and I emulated your behaviour (except the present part. I'm still a little on the stingy side.).
Little notes, SMSes to ask if you're alright.. SMSes that tell you that I suddenly thought of you.. Messages that told you all that I care.
I've come a long way, okay.
I want to go further. When I start buying presents for you all, you know I've started. :D
Anyways, yesterday, I had Wai Wan, Cheng Hung, Mel and cx over to watch Exorcism of Emily Rose and Hotel Rwanda.
HEE! Know what's spastic? Exorcism of Emily Rose was FAR from scary... I thought it would be. Pfft.
Hotel Rwanda wasn't as touching as it was 3-4 years ago. Oh well. *lol* I guess its cause it wasn't dark enough and it's my second time watching it.
Anyways, it's Jerine's birthday today, so you all can just hop over to her blog and wish her Happy birthday cause she's not in the country. Her blog's quaintrelle.blogspot.com
As you all know, the OCIP people have LEFT! 4am this morning I think.
I msged Ros and Jerine (the two closest people to me in OCIP.. and maybe not people in OCIP) and told them to come back with rich laos guys there.
WAHAHAHA! When they come back in 13 days, they're gonna be SO rich!
13 days only ah? I don't know why, I kept thinking it was one month.
Well, mhm.
Yesterday I was at my man's place, and you know what!? I think our relationship has come to a point where we don't even have to talk to each other or be near each other to feel as though we are spending time together.
SO COOL RIGHT!
I know some of you have heard that saying that went something along the lines of.. Uhh.. Loving someone is when you did not speak the whole time, at the end of it, you feel as though you had a whole conversation.
My poot ah. It's not possible at the start of a relationship. Not to me, anyways. Defy convention, yes, but don't do that! You need to know everything about each other before you can advance properly and accept each other's flaws, etc.
I don't even need to explain further. You all should understand.
Anyways, so ya. I was at one end of the room playing fk on his laptop, and he was on the other end on a sofa reading a book.
We're kind of out of movies to watch, see. :P
And his internet wasn't working.. so ya.
**************************
Are you feeling bored during the holidays!?
Go watch la bi xiao xin on youtube or something. :D

1. Chinese Tea (especially ginseng oolong! If you EVER find this, PLEASE tell me!
2. Brinjal
3. Brands essence of chicken
..I can't think of any more. Brinjal and Brands.. they're acquired tastes.
Btw, just because I don't eat ladies fingers doesn't mean I'm immature. I just don't like the idea of mutilating women's hands.

Let me begin from the night/early morning of 1st Nov.
I had two nightmares. Don't remember the second one, but the first one was that it was my birthday, and my man was going around this really really dark supermarket (I don't remember much about it) getting stuff for me so he could cook for my birthday. His family was also there, so I hung out with his family while he left me behind, alone. Then.. Later, goodness knows what happened, but it involved his phone ringing, and me finding out that he was cheating on me. *lol*
What a way to start the day.
So when I woke up and stoned around in bed while reading my birthday msgs on my hp, my kitty, Marlin, suddenly came along and settled himself behind my head, so it felt as though his stomach was my pillow. So cute.
So the first present I received was from Jerine! So sweet, she came all the way to Tanah Merah just to gimme my present, and she came half an hour early, so she had to wait for half an hour. *lol* Lucky thing she had a book to read.
We took this picture even though she insisted she was ugly and I didn't oppose her remark.
How pretty ya!? They're from CUPCAKE MOMMA. Whoever this momma is, she's got a webby and an email!
I think it's:
www.cupcakemomma.net or www.cupcake-momma.net
and cupcakemomma@gmail.
Go search on google yourself. I'm too lazy to check.
Then my man and I walked to his place, and along the way, I took a random picture. I wanted to take pictures of EVERYTHING I did that day, but decided not to after he commented on me taking the picture.
"You know you're taking pictures of things that have got nothing to do with your birthday ya?"
Here it is:
So I went to his place and he asked me to search for his present when we got to his room. I pointed to the two main drawers where he keeps his stuff, and when he said no, I walked straight up to his clothes cupboard and heard him say "Eee, no fun one.".
*lol* I'm good at this.
It was put in a chocz paper bag, and the stuff inside had got NOTHING to do with that.
After arranging the stuff right...
These are the sweets. Some of them.
I saw this, and I was like "Eurgh, hershey's milk chocolate isn't nice! You should have gotten the white chocolate one."
Looking back into the paper bag...
LOL! So cute.
He even went to ask cx for sonia's number and get me this. He told me he felt awkward and stupid picking the two different scents up and sniffing them cause he claimed they were the same.
You know how he sniffed it? He sprayed it on his hand. Silly boy. Can just sniff the nozzle..
And I saw this in the paper bag too:
Seriously. Uhh.. *lol*
Wrong one! But never mind, it smells nice. :D
And I also saw this:
A handphone sock. Seriously. *lol* Doesn't match my phone, but I'm growing to like it. It's very thin and elastic (sounds wrong)!
And I saw this too.
A BERET! But the weird kind of brown. I know I look horrid in it in this picture, but its the shirt, I SWEAR it! I'll show you all one day!
My man loved me so much he spent $270 or so on everything. :( When I heard how much, I started crying. Not cause I was touched, probably, but because the expensive things he bought, he bought wrongly. *lol* I'm going to try and make full use of it, though.
So after all the hoo hah was over, my man's mum asked me to take up this box of six doughnuts and my man and I started eating it!
And we watched 300 while at it. :D
Okay, here we go. The next day, I received my present from Eleanor!
She decorated a cupcake for me! Goodness knows if her hands were clean. *lol*
Then choy gave me his present! Bonjour milk and pandan bread! He alternated them, and I said "goodness knows whether his hands are clean".
And then steph told me he used gloves, so yay. :D
A candid shot of me. Isn't that odd?
Then Bhav gave me her card! She baked cupcakes (what's with cupcakes this year!?) and told me it turned out weird, so she won't give them to me. But I think weird cupcakes are cute. Oh well. She wrote me a note, though. I was really happy until I saw others have notes from her too.
Cai Xiang's present was so fun! But annoying, cause it was wrapped in nice wrapping paper.
Her card said I would definitely like it, and when I looked...
Whee. I like essence of chicken! I like I like! of course, I have to like the eeyore post-its too, so.. I like!
Anyways, my birthday falls on the same day as my man's sister's, so I got to cut cake and have "happy birthday" sung to me for the first time in 7 years. Eurgh. Oh well.
The cake was nice, though. Nope, no pictures.
My man's parents gave me an ang bao. No, I can't tell you how much. It's not nice. :D
And my man and I took pictures (it's a once in a long while thing). He looks fat in some of them, but I photoshopped them. :D Kidding, a bit only. I don't know how to work photoshop well.
Sigh, so weird. Here they are:
Fat boy and little man.
Don't remember WHY, but we were gonna burst out laughing for some reason.
A little dim, but this is my favourite picture. :D

Thank you so much, especially those of you actually stayed up to msg me a happy birthday! I really really appreciate it. I wouldn't do that for anyone.
On a lighter note, I set my phone to silent non-vibration that night cause I knew there would be those SWEET but bo liao people who will stay up to wish me happy birthday. No, not all the following smses were sent at 12. Only some. So.
These are the people who wished me a happy birthday!

And then when we went to simpang, Sherman and Daiyu and some goodness knows who guy wished me happy birthday. I'm not sure if the goodness knows who guy wished me happy birthday, but daiyu and that goodness knows who guy were looking at me like I was some crazy idiot, so yeah. I only know and love Sherman. :D (he's my man's friend, btw).

My birthday is coming! AND, being the nice person that I am, I shall have a WISHLIST.
Here's the thing: If you all are planning some dumb birthday party, and if you all don't really want to scrap the many (I hope not) plans you all have made, just go ahead with it, but honestly, I really really don't want it.
And, again, HONESTLY, I don't really care too much if you all aren't getting me presents since I didn't get them for you all anyways (I think celebrating my birthday is really quite spastic. It's just ANOTHER day.), but this wishlist will act as a guide, just in CASE you all get me a present, and get me something I'm not hot about.
I have decided to put the "DO NOT GET" before the "CAN GET". More important mah.
1. Flowers
NO NO NO. I HATE FLOWERS. No ARTIFICIAL ones that last forever (that's even worse). I swear I'll donate them to another friend of mine when you all aren't looking. If I donated my own Valentine's day flowers to people, I will donate your flowers to others too.
2. "bai mei" things. In essence, nothing that serves no purpose but being a:
- decorative object
- paperweight
- paper clip
- box or whatever to store whatever in
3. Accessories
Handphone accessories, bracelets, earrings/ear studs, rings, necklaces, pendants, chokers, whatever that is used to DECORATE a person, or a box, or a card (that means I'm putting coloured markers and colour pencils and paint under "accessories"). However, the only exceptions to this category are a computer/laptop/printer. You can use them to make cards sometimes. Clocks are NOT allowed, though. They are considered decorative, and clocks are offensive presents to a traditional Chinese person. You can ask me why.
4. Story booksPlease lah, I've got thousands of books to read at home.
5. Movies
Maybe the latest Harry Potter movie would be good, cause I didn't catch it.
6. Sanitary pads/tampons/tissue paper/condoms(I know some people who like to buy condoms as presents, but only for guys).
Basically, any sanitary stuff. That includes anything that contributes to improving my hygiene. I like picking my nose and wiping them on lift buttons so people cannot see th e number, so that's that. I don't want towels, or napkins, or shampoo, or soap.
7. Make-up
NO. Especially not lipstick. They dry up my lips. If you REALLY must. Fine. Liquid eyeliner that works well. If you're not sure, don't say "Aiyah, we buy already, she can't do anything about it if it doesn't work well.". Just don't buy it.
8. Writing materials
..Don't be SPASTIC.
9. Cutlery
..I don't fancy them. My mummy buys really nice ones, so I don't need yours.
10. Aroma therapy stuff
I'm NOT stressed, and I don't use these things. I just pass them on as presents to other people anyways.
11. Things that will make me feel bad for flattening in a vain attempt to keep it somewhere, or things that CANNOT be folded up EASILY.
12. Clothes/shoes.
..It's very very dangerous. But if you REALLY must, make sure the size is right. I don't even know my size, but its really quite small. If you can fold the clothes in half neatly about 2-3 times, then it SHOULD be the right size. Off-shoulder (shoulderS?) BLACK tops are quite okay. PLAIN black tops. Maybe have a small diamond here or there is fine. NO WORDS, no fancy designs that are especially attention-grabbing. I'm attention-grabbing enough already.
13. Bookmarks
..Don't do that, please. Cheng Hung is already doing a series of that, or so he said. No repetition of presents! :D
Hmm. And DON'T WRAP presents with nice paper. Just use newspaper. :D I won't feel so bad about not having space to keep your stuff then.
"CAN GET"
1. A really nice goodie bag!
Lots of sweets and food! Make sure they're brands that I recognise. BUT. No fruit plus. I don't fancy strawberry or grape things and chocolates and biscuits in my goodie bag. No lollipops, no sugar-coated gummies. I've been wanting the gummy thinggy! The one that we always like to bite the steggy's head off. BUT, I don't want dinosaurs. I want the worms one. Don't ONLY buy that leh. Pool together money and get me a goodie bag or something. *lol* The container/bag that the goodies are in should be chapalang and your heart and mine won't ache to see it being thrown away.
2. A beret.
I've been wanting to get this for MORE THAN A YEAR. But I always thought it was very expensive.. Cause the only one I like is the one from Bugis Junction. It's on the first level, and I'm not sure of the shop's name, but if I'm not wrong, its right next to an exit of the building. IF I'M NOT WRONG. They sell bags and all there too.. And the colour of the beret. I could never decide which colour to get, cause I suit the pink ones, but I have LOTS of black clothes, if you all haven't noticed. Blue is oooookay. A very nudish brown/beige is the one that best suits me, but it probably would NEVER match my clothes.. Or would it? Consider this one carefully.. PLEASE pool together money if you choose this. It's close to $30 if I'm not wrong. Maybe more. Don't really remember, hee.
3. A 2GB thumbdrive.
Hee hee, I think mine is very ugly. Get the very standard one for me also can! The imation one, I think. It's the one that comes in 1GB also. Pool together money, please.
4. Black fish-net stockings.
The name says it all. :D I won't use it much, but I've always wanted a pair that fit me properly. Take the smaller size (S, most probably), and the one with smaller diamond holes.
5. ..A handphone sock or something. *lol* I lost mine.
I can always survive without one, of course. It's much easier anyways. I just had to come up with one more thing cause 4 things on a wishlist sounds pathetic.
6. Brands essence of chicken.
If you want to buy, again, POOL TOGETHER MONEY to get it. And don't go and waste your money and buy it for $17 or something. Ask Cai Xiang where to get it.
7. Cocoa butter
The press bottle ah! Must be a BOTTLE. ONLY the one that's for pregnant women and stretch marks. I've got freaking a lot of stretch marks, and I've wanted to get this for more than a year. Hopefully it works. You can find it at guardian, probably watsons. Don't know, ask cx (or ros?). I think cx should be able to remember.
8. DEODORANT!
Hee hee, I like the one that sonia uses (used?). This one, ask wyn and sonia. They SHOULD know which one. NO, its not the PINK adidas one. Eurgh. I think its a peachy colour. It smells really fruity. I heard its quite ex, so share share, split the cost! But don't think I really want this, okay? I DON'T MIND having it, but I don't use deo, if you all haven't noticed.
9. Nice-smelling hair moisturisers.
Only the ones from body shop. You know the kind that you have to burst so the moisturiser comes out, and then you rub it all over your hair?
10. Eye drops
Eye drops! Either the very proper contacts one, or just eye mo will do. :D
11. Nothing.
Hee hee, I got no ideas anymore. :D And really, its PERFECTLY okay if you don't get me anything. I know I seem presumptuous by putting what I want here, but it really doesn't matter if you don't get me anything. I've wanted some of these things here for quite a while, but it doesn't matter if I don't get them. I may just get over my want sometime. Best is ang pao lah. :P Put all the money together so I won't know how much each person gave.
I will update this page if anything else comes to mind, and "UPDATE" will be typed at the top of the page. Extra ideas/words will be put in the same colour that "UPDATE" is in.
e.g. UPDATE!!!
(This means that all updates will be put in yellow)

Anyways, yeah. Last saturday turned out quite fine. My man's parents brought the family and I to some dim sum restaurant at.. some tower place. It's REALLY close to Vivo City, that's all I can say.
Got my results back. The main point is that I'm getting promoted!
Happy happy.
And then I look at some of my friends who're not going to be promoted, and I really don't know what to say to them.
So I don't say anything.
Some of you may have remembered me wishing for some people to be retained.
Now I don't. It's so saddening.. I mean, all the sadness its causing, knowing that you didn't make it after studying (hard or not, who cares. I'm sure they studied, at least a little)..
I don't like it.
Anyways. Yeah. Been busying myself with playing Pokemon Emerald. It's really different from the other versions, okay.
Monday, Miss Norzian gave us each an "I (heart) A06!" (is there the exclamation mark?) badge! SO SWEET RIGHT!? Thanks Miss Norzian!
Then when I was in the library doing last minute compilation for PW WR yesterday, Aunty Kenny came up to my group member (honestly, I don't remember WHO he was talking to.. My eyes were on the monitor) and asked about the badges. Then he made a comment.
"A06, can you get any lamer than that?"
HAHAHA!
Oh, and I thought that the frenzy that was caused when the WR had to be submitted was really interesting. I thought it quite fun that my group hadn't handed in something so important by the deadline. I mean, the running around, the absolute focus, the reckless decisions that cannot be regretted. FUN! It's the first time I was so anxious about handing in work in TPJC before.
Then later.. I went to D block to get bags and all, then walked around with the school's laptop. Then went to the library with Eleanor to return it. Then Mrs Lee walks into the library and I said "Hi Mrs Lee!"
And she looked at my hair, and she said something along the lines of "I like your hair like that. I don't like it tied up."
I was pretty amazed, and so I said "Isn't it against the school rules?"
And she said "Hmm, ya.. Trim it a bit.. But its difficult to maintain.."
To which I replied "Hmm, ya, I know."
Then we parted.
On the way down the stairs, I saw Fahmi at a table, and he looked at me (and my hair, I guess), and remarked "Gisella! You look so.. sweet."
And I smiled widely and said "I know!"
And he was like "What the hell.."
I bet you he was thinking "I take that back.."
Last night, Jerine msged me and went something like "hey babe... one question. Strawberry, chocolate or peanut butter?"
And I was wondering if she was gonna give me something. Oh well, I didn't know what. I told myself not to be too hopeful and maybe she's just trying to decide on something for herself.
I told her that it'd be chocolate if its a muffin thing, strawberry if its a jammish spread, and peanut butter if the whole thing is peanut butter.. Like peanut butter cookies or something.
Anyways, this morning, I WOKE UP LATE!
I usually wake up at 6am. Jerine's message (that asked me if I was coming to school and she brought breakfast for me) at 6.50am woke me up! Phew!:P
I was wondering WHY it was so bright. Then I was like "oh poop, I didn't set the alarm." I was gonna reply to Jerine's message, but I couldn't type properly, so I decided to hurry up and wash up and change for school.
While I was changing, I called cx and asked for a lift to school. She agreed (yay!).
Then about 30 seconds after that, Jerine called and I told her I was gonna be in school.
So we met at the canteen and Jerine gave me a doughnut! You know, the white, heart-shaped one with strawberry jam inside!? Yeah, that one!
So sweet. I ate it, and I didn't know that the white wasn't icing! I thought it was just very thick, creamy icing. I can't stand too much icing, but it tasted good. Jerine told me it was white chocolate, and I was like "WHOA.". *lol* Oh well. Thanks Jerine!
Anyways, so it was my first time feeling frenzied like that for PW and my first time ALMOST being late for school! WOW!!!
I also got nothing much to say. I'm still debating on whether to go to Miss Norzian's place this Sunday. See first. :)
