Lolbrats

They are so wacky that the sudden spike in noise pollution after their arrival almost seems worth it sometimes.

First, Brat #2’s artwork:

He draws a demonic teacher screaming, “You stand up!“
A+ for guts and weird perspective and proportion.

And then while cleaning out my wardrobe, Brat #1 retrieved this handed-down purple top that I never wore and never will from the pile of unwanted clothes and did this:

Complete with boobies!
A+ for effort.

Also, perfect blackmail material :D

Public Transport

A slightly pungent,  foreign smell wafted from the stranger who sat down next to me on the bus home, and I looked up to put a face to the owner of said odour. Tried to ignore the smell, concentrating on the super chim but super interesting book that Ti bought.

Not long after, certain hand movements caught my attention and I darted to see if the stranger was doing what I thought he was doing. He was picking his nose, alright. Eeyer. Back to book. Back to cautious surveying of the man. Back to book. Inch further away from him.

Much later, I saw him rolling the nose gold in between his fingers. And then he flicked it.

WAH LAU EH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stunned into silence.

The winning formula was when his handphone rang with the sms alert and he dug into the pocket of his jeans to retrieve it, brushing against me in the process. Twice. It did not matter if it wasn’t the hand he flicked the booger with, because he used both hands to fiddle with his nostrils.

GG me.

Mum and Brat #1 had a laugh when I re-enacted the great display of Fail I had to go through XDDD

Year 3 Sem 2 Results

How do I say this…

Getting a C for Johnny’s class was okay la… just a little disappointed because he said everyone would get at least a B in class.
So was getting a C for MelB’s class because I thought I’d improved from last semester. But it was understandable, really.
A C from Orhkay was no surprise there, since he’s been giving me a C+ for every class I’ve gone to so far.
Huh did getting a P for Bio Science mean that I failed!??! Pretty expected but I still couldn’t come to grips with failure.

And then I realised that what I’d been seeing was the wrong column. C stood for Core module and P stood for Prescribed module… orz times ten.

Anyway, grades have been so mediocre this semester that it’s almost disappointing, considering how hard it has worked me. All my results are in the B’s category…

Except for Cynic’s class where I got an A+. SURPRISE SURPRISE! Considering the stunt that I pulled in the mid-term essay, this is enough to make up for the mediocrity failure for the rest of my subjects :DDDDDDD

Tarty

I’ve just polished off the last of Aunty Serene’s latest baking endeavor. Feel empty and lost.

This was taken in the fridge. They’re larger than above and takes 3 bites to finish off compared to the smaller ones which I simply pop into my mouth in one go. Aunty Serene and I both concur that the smaller ones are nicer :D

When I brought this to Shasha and Ruru right after they were fresh from the kitchen, they thought it was store-bought. Well actually only Ruru thought so because Shasha already knew why I was running late :P

Kenna Flu

It seems that whenever something goes wrong with my body, I just need to hibernate. Yesterday I spent the whole day sleeping, waking up only for meals.

In the end Mum brought me to the doctor (omg consultation after 10pm is $44!!! My visit to the clinic cost a total of $69.50) and I had a fever of 38.4 degree Celsius. Win! No wonder I had a terrible headache. Plus my body felt achy and weak. It also explained the abundance of mucus and slight cough. But it’s not H1N1 so all is good… in relative terms of course.

I’m thankful that I insisted on eating the shared portions of lunch last when I met Eve and Leaves on Thursday sia. I knew the super dry throat was unnatural but didn’t think that it would be a symptom of flu. At least they should be fine :)

Anyway, am popped with pills and medication. Can feel my body slacking off now, the may-cause-drowsiness medication is probably kicking in.

I can’t remember the last time I was this sick :S

36 degree celcius

This was my temperature when it was taken at 2.30 in school today. There was only one girl with a higher temperature than I in the same page of the log book, surpassing me by 0.7 degree celcius. Tom was the lowest with 34-something.

I told him it was because he was short XDDD

But actually I think the sunny weather has something to do with frying brains, and this theory is further supported by Tom’s supposed hard head, thereby insulating his head innards from extra heat :P

Btw, inserting the thermometer into the ear without the disposable plastic cap is disgusting. Hello, swiping the head with an antiseptic-filled cotton is not enough. Reusing that same cotton after it went through someone else’s ear also kind of defeats the purpose doesn’t it? I fear I may catch some other disease than the H1N1 that’s been making a name through households.

Dream-wise, I’ve been having the time of my life. It all started last week. I’ve had adventures with plenty of people, both unreal and random real people. It gets a bit tiring to wake up sometimes.

Some of the dreams I can remember are:

- DJR being a friend and introducing me to this set of 3 stools. I sat on a misshapen purple one, and suddenly it morphed into a straight chair complete with a back, arm rests, and a tray in front of me (like a baby chair). It flew, taking me to places, but it was really unnerving because there were four tealight candles on the tray in front of me.

- The next dream on that same night after waking up in pre-dawn was about me in a classroom. We were sitting in two long rows to the left side of the room and I was sitting near the end on one. Suddenly the teacher announced that he was going to tell a ghost story. I wept and begging him not to do so. For some reason I was now sitting at a desk in front of the row near the teacher. Shasha on my right turned to me and calmed me down. (Coincidentally, I woke up to read a book that Mum’s tuition kid lent me and it was a book revolving about the eerie supernatural. Check it out, Odd Thomas is a beautiful read.)

- Being in a house chilling with cool dudes (the term ‘dudes’ being a class of people), and then having a son of a family sitting next to me on the couch telling me his sister was murdered by them. He showed me his PSP and the first few pictures were of a beautiful baby girl. The last two were grotesque manifestations of her body in a spaghetti mummification. There was a weird middle-aged woman lingering on a bare room with a balcony outside. I needed to go to the toilet, but couldn’t find it. Brat #1 showed me the way. The suspicious woman outside turned out to be a red herring. It was one of the strangest dreams I’ve had. when I related it over lunch, Uncle MC. said I was sick and weird.

- We were parachuting from a plane. One of them had a faulty parachute– it could be released but somehow could not take its shape and was flapping away like a sickle red blood cell. He was among those who were nearer the ground, and I could see him accelerating his way to certain death, until someone zoomed past me and grabbed hold of the guy. I never knew if they made it because it immediately cut to indoors after the jump. That guy turned out to be alive, and he was sitting there saying how he didn’t realise that he was in danger (and I listened to him and went wtf). Senpai walked in and sat around the circle. She was also in the same sort of black one-suit uniform (like a diving suit). We chatted among each other.

That was today’s dream.
