Welcome to My Family

Last night as I was writing a long-overdue letter back to Aunty Dev in the Philippines, I wanted to explain to her the meaning behind Ti’s name (whom she had named her son after), when I realised that I never really knew why Ti’s name was the way it was. I remember many years ago I asked Mum why his name was chosen, and she said that it was because there was nothing left to choose from. LOL! It’s times like this that I feel lucky to be a firstborn XDD

Well last night I asked her again. She thought for a while, and said that it meant ‘benevolent’, and I was like, why?!? Our middle names already mean ‘benevolent’; does this mean that Ti is supposed to be some kind of saint? Anyway I looked it up online and it actually means ‘outstanding’. Well done Mum :P

After that she said that my name meant ’strength’, while doing this aja fighting pose. Damn weird. It was then that I decided to break it to her that the banyan tree (which I’m named after) is actually semi-parasitic.

TO WHICH MUM BROKE OUT IN FULL-FLEDGED LAUGHTER AND JUMPED AROUND THE ROOM IN UNBRIDLED MIRTH.

And then, still laughing, she said that I wasn’t semi-parasitic… but completely parasitic! This is totally FML-worthy man XDDD

But she said she was joking, and later fondly said how much of a good children Ti and I are, while I told her how my life is doomed from the start of wrong name-choosing.

Welcome to my family. If at any time you think I’m crazy, just remember where I’m coming from. XDD

Okay further proof has just unearthed itself. Mum finally found the iPod charger she’d been looking for since yesterday and when it was found, I started clapping above my head while she swung the iPod wire round and round singing ‘Old Macdonald Had a Farm’.

Also, am terribly amused by this MTV. I know Shasha would be absolutely mortified and outraged over this video, but somehow I can’t stop looping it to hear her sing “nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh” at 2:05.

Btw, apparently that Korean company kenna successfully sued by Square Enix over this XDD

I HAS STYLE? & Near Death

Lolspeak is unacceptable but words fail me.

Tuesday, I had oil painting class. We finally got started on painting still life, after everyone got into a clamour for white objects to set up.

At the end of the session, Ai said that my painting was ‘very me’, and I was like, HUH does this mean that whatever I draw looks the same?!?!!? WHAT’S THE POINT?!?! Noez there goes $50+ of oil painting supplies orz

Thursday, I proudly showed Pa a work in progress doodle in my BB Sketchbook (short for the Brian Bolland sketchbook that he autographed XDD). I was like, “Taadaa!” and he was like, “Why do all your drawings look so gloomy and sinister.” and I was like, HUH WHERE GOT?!?! And then he tried to explain in vain the characteristics of my drawings.

Friday, Ai and I continued our oil painting for homework and I don’t know, I think Linda, Ruru and Sal said that it looked finished, even though I had barely gone a few strokes into it. Which was really amusing XDD

Last night Brat#2 fell face-first onto my bed in slumber. Mum then decided to lay the mattress on the floor so that I could have her bed to sleep on. I was awake till 4+am.

Sometime during the wee hours of the night, Brat#2 gave a vicious shout and started violently punching the pillow next to him (i.e. where my head would have been), and then he collapsed back onto the bed.

NEVER HAVE I BEEN SO GLAD TO BE AWAKE AT 4AM.

Even Mum woke up! I kept laughing in relief (to be alive).

Brat#2 is damn dangerous.

Wah Sian FYP

Another reason to pon school for the rest of next year. Okay I kid, but still…

Shasha 08:00 PM
Eh, your fyp idea. They’re doing a similar thing with animation on the national day parade. Now.

Shasha 08:00 PM
Crap. End already.

Me 08:01 PM
Shit i just missed it :(

Shasha 08:01 PM
Yea. See repeat telecast. I think you have to see it.

Me 08:02 PM
Er ok… Was it an animation or just vid??
(Obviously the shock made me forget what Shasha’s first SMS said)

Shasha 08:03 PM
Video mix with animation. That’s why you must watch, so that you don’t accidentally do the same.

Me 08:04 PM
Siannnn ok :(

Shasha 08:04 PM
Haha. It was very cute. All the best yea.

Me 08:05 PM
Tq for warning!!

Shasha 08:05 PM
No prob :)

From this exchange, any idiot can surmise that I have good friends and unoriginal ideas XDD

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

Overwhelming

哇，我真的不值得。。。 (TT w TT)

Bix: It was okay la, I was celebrating on the day you wished anyway XD
Shasha: NO WONDER SO MANY PEOPLE KNEW, YOU MADE PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT ON MSN!!! LOL

I am going to use the treasuring pen for comic-ing! LUB.

The Dark Knight

Caught The Dark Knight with Ruru and Shasha today!

I think the sound was amazing. That balloon squeal thing (used at least twice for the climaxes) was actually quite good at doing its job sia.

One of the few things that bug me is how come the eyeball is still there. Shouldn’t it have gone up in flames? And is security at that hospital really that lax (especially since a big shot is there)? And how come no one made Harvey Dent a priority when they had to evacuate?

Herbie sent this hilarious parody of the Joker interrogation scene my way:

LMAO.

Verbal Diarrhea

I did it again today to some guy I didn’t even know. I think Shasha, SJHH and Ruru were shocked by my lack of filter between my brain and mouth. Probably came off very snarky. 真的非常后悔我的烂嘴巴…

Indian Wedding, 好久不见 & Free Passes to Museums

Three days of pictures. So little time to elaborate more.

Bowling & Shopping

Last Saturday we (Ruru, Shasha, Sal and Bix) got together to celebrate Jo’s belated birthday. Jo wanted to go bowling, so we did. I’m not too fond of the sport but it turned out to be really fun with the girls.

I just keep watching the condensed video and laughing at the references from Real Time XD

Sad, Loss.

My shot (1.5 minutes exposure) with the pinhole camera on a Polaroid film for Experimental Photography today. Envy those grey legs.

Shot (1 minute exposure) taken by Shasha.
My face has a curse. There was another shot of me and the polaroid overexposed. No face for that too.

I miss the friends I made during the rush of oh-noes-deadline-was-yesterday! last semester.

Miss crapping about Pee with Shasha and Ruru.

Those mornings.

You.
