this is endless.

i seem to be caught in a black hole. it seems almost as if im not going back. time is dragging me at this horrible crawl and i cant take it. it too tiring. the countdown seems to be getting lethargic as i somehow have seemed to come to an understanding that i wont be back anytime soon.

the only thing i have to keep me occupied is to try to expand my cantonese vocab as much as i can and to try to get used to this place and the weather. cant wait for the next monday... cos jerline would be here... which means i'll be home soon.

many things on schedule to do. heh... hope you won't forget

the child in gwen.

haiz... im quite sick of being bullied by the couple. my dad will chide me, and my mum will go like:"yah.... (insert the exact words dad just said)"
haha. here's the anecdote for today.

Saleslady hardselling some weird type fishcakes.

Mum: oooo... should we get some?

Dad's currently on the phone and doesn't hear mum.
Fidgety, mum paces around til Dad picks up.

Dad(on the phone): Ok, bye.
Mum: You want the yam flavoured one or the lotus root one?
Dad: Anything lah.
Mum: You decide... well you might prefer the yam cos it's got a more aromatic yam taste.
Me: Yah.... of course the yam one will have yam taste... and the lotus root one has a lotus root taste... and well the plain fishcakes have fish taste.
Dad: Hahahahahahahahahaha...............

Current score- Mum 1, Gwen 1. It's a tie for now. and i feel all better..... hahaha. the boredom's really driving nuts ain't it?

drama in the dramaland

my dad and mum just came back. and they told a rather interesting story.

there was a traffic accident, involving two cars, namely a cab, and a mercedes, and almost involving one pedestrian.

Crash! BEEeeeppppp..........

Cab and a Mercedes collides. Pedestrian A dives out of the way.

Mercedes driver gets out of car, obviously pissed off, and tries to get at cab driver.

Cab driver quickly locks his door, but forgets to lock passenger seat.

Mercedes driver climbs into cab from passenger side, and starts pummeling the cab driver.

Passerby B(cantonese): Don't hit him lah!

Merc driver(also cantonese): So you think he was right and i wrong?

Bam! A punch for Passerby B complimentary of Merc driver.

Beebo beebo beebo.....

The police arrives.

Police man(all in cantonese): Relax! Relax! No need for violence.

Wham!

The policeman ends up blackeyed.
He then decides to arrest the Merc driver.
All Passerbys from A-Z claps and cheers.

*all the above was totally true... up to the clapping part. not one bit fiction.


haha. now i know why hk serials are so drama. they draw experience from life itself.

im a sore thumb.

heh. went out today... other then the freaking question marks that show on my face while finding my way around, there could only be more question marks. well no that bad in the end cos i didnt get lost... but. i went to the bus stop to get back to the hotel... guess what. the stupid sign got queues on the both sides. and no indication as to which side was which.

i was to take 212. so i waited at the queue that i thought was appropriate, til bus 6 came along, and everyone got on. im serious, then 212 chugs along behind, then i quickly paced to the other queue and luckily, i managed to get on the bus. i swear if i couldn't get on, i'll just get a cab in frustration. so much for transportation.

relearn. rethink.

i have to scrap all my old bad habits that i've picked up. things especially as to my reaction to things. and all the systems of analysis going on in my head.

i dont want to hurt someone with my doubts and disbelieve. i cant always be suspecting of patronisation. i wonder how long it'll take.

cos now someone's there for me.
someone who waits holding back sleep.
someone who comforts me when i weep.
someone who puts smiles on my face.
someone who keeps me warm when it's cold.

someone who minds not of my flaws.
someone who listens, and i know it.
someone who makes me feel good about myself.
someone, who cares, and i've grown to care for.

worse than bad, worse than worse

went to the school to register, and guess what, it's not as simple as i thought it would be.

first i went to the office of the school of design. which directed me to building P.

when i got there, i had no damn clue why i was to go there to get forms, cos from the directory it seems totally irrelevent. nevermind, i managed to ask a lady for directions, and she told me to get to kiosk M for forms.

at kiosk M, forms aplenty, but they said none for me, because im a foreign student. so where do i go? they told me to go to building M.

so at building M i went up to level 16, the place for exchange students. which was still wrong. they then told me to go down to level 1 who could give me "more details". bah. details.

so at level 1, i queued up for almost twenty minutes and finally got to speak to the lady who directed me back to kiosk M.

back at kiosk M, i just insisted on getting a form for design anyway, and went back to the school of design, where they told me that i could, in fact use that form. imagine. i could have stopped at paragraph three.

well, after filling the form sitting on a bench in a slight drizzle, i went back to kiosk M to hand in the form, then realised i had to walk back past building M to the bank to pay for the aministration fees. after which i finally could hand up the form, and be on my way back to the hotel.

grr.

bad continued...

i know i just spoke about my parents, but now, im gonna blabber more. my dad. made me empty my luggage cos he wanted to use it for shanghai.... so he will carry my small luggage and my mum another small one, right? wrong.

she decides (note, only after i emptied everything on the floor.) that she wants a bigger one. one so big, hey, why not they share one luggage? and make gwen the stupid public entertainment drag up all the stuff from the floor back into her luggage? well at least it was fun. bah.

gwen blogged at 1:09 AM

bad bad bad

today my parents are back. just to leave tml afternoon. and guess what. first my mum irritates me about this stupid pack of bak kwa i was supposed to buy and bring, which i offered to have jerline bring when she comes down, but she just wanted to make me irritated. no answer to that one.

then i wanted to put my passport in the safe, as usual i keyed in the code, just to realise that before that, the door was closed, not locked. then now the door refuses to lock. that got my dad pissed off. and my mum, hiding behind him, tries to snub me about my "anyhow disturbing my dad's stuff" which really ticks me off. i can handle my dad alone, or my mum alone, but together as a couple, they're invincible.

my dad's like the big, dark scary villain and my mum, the puny irritating sidekick. they really do operate like that. i'm serious.

well.... guess gwen the petty will hide no more boo boos her mum makes from her daddy from this day forth. im sick of getting backstabbed. grrr.

yep, i've reached last nite. bored like mad... although it's suppoesed to be warm already i still find the evenings horribly chilly. now armed with my instant noodles for lunch, i guess i'll just sit here a while longer, then maybe i'll go out.

sloth is really seeping through me. but i better get out of this room today. or i think i wont be bothered to go to the school tml.

-N.A-

i'm feeling murderous. how dare the crappy website do this to me. i like typed out this incredibly long post, and guess what, the website brings me to a log in page that doesn't work. thanks. i feel like useless pathetic crap. however, i'm in the mood, so i shall repeat myself ALL OVER AGAIN.

hahaha. well i'm going to hk a day earlier because another crappy website screwed with me. my dad tried to confirm my booking and somehow, the stupid web kept cancelling my booking. we succeeded only on the third try. and since the first attempt was to confirm a reservation that i made days ago, the ticket on the 16th was passed down to the lucky ass after me.

so there. i wish there's some crappy way i can wring the necks of whoever's supposed to be in charge of that web. now i have to go say sorry to malvin and marcus, whom i've asked out on tuesday.

well anyone needs anything from hk? no smelly beancurd or troublesome food. i mean it. well if any, pls let me know your requests alongside some money. haha. gwen the stinge. cant help it, if i run out of cash, i cant turn to my dad, he's gonna be hours away. so if i go broke, i may have to live off the things in his kitchen. all the instant noodles, frozen and canned food he's stocked up over the years. yes, i meant years. so well if i die from the ancient crap that i eat, del, pls read the following closely.

if i die,
del, pls take care of my knockmen, blue's clues, and my pez collection. oh and pls find it among my rubble personally, my maid may leave some out.

del, you can also have my com, and sell whatever valuable crap i have and use it to fund your project. but pls put my name in. better if you use my description. "in honor of the sweet, gentle, and loving gwen who died for all this to be accomplishable." haha. ignore the fact that it's a pack of lies and that no one would actually take it in nor read it.

oh and del, i'm serious"), really, i'm erhem, serious. well now that i'm done with my sort of will, i'm happy. haha. it's saturday. i'm going off to bed, cos i gotta go down to ntuc for my stuff to make my oreo's cheesecake that i'm oh so proud of. hah. "). or in the words of angela, :] generic smileys, bah.

the red days

welcome to the festival of our tiny world being splashed red. hate the dampened mood. can't seem to be getting into the festivities lately. maybe im just getting blue before i leave. that is if i leave. only two things will stop from doing so though, either not getting in or not being able to afford it. hate to have to leave. anyway, this trip that i'm taking next wed will last for almost a month, most of it being spent alone. seriously. jerline's gonna go see me on the seventh til i leave. and my parents are running around in the chinese world. first taipei then shanghai. wonder what i'll do. rot i guess. better go get a good read. any recommendations anyone? anyway, i'll be camping on msn, so will see most you guys there. so much for now, my head's pounding like nuts, i don't feel like sleeping, want so much to be out having fun, but i can't seem to be able to enjoy myself these two days, odd. well gotta go mooch around, and ferment in my room.
