i was so random and had no idea what to write as my title, therefore i wrote the first word that popped into my head. 'wot' is the british version of the americanised 'wad'. enough said. i shall not delve further.
do you know that drinking water before going to bed can cause you to bloat? have you heard of the three-headed-dog, called fluffy, hogwarts used to guard the philosopher's stone? do you know buffy the vampire slayer? now, there's a new meaning to fluffy and all things ending with 'fy'.
first of all, puffy the fatty-bom-bom slayer (courtesy of mornique) aka mandy. she was so tired that she made herself comfortable on her bed soon after drinking some water. that's how she got her name.
of course, there's a new 'fluffy' on the block. fluffy the anyone-who-terrorises-mandy slayer aka mftp!! haha. this is so damn lame. get your downjackets!! that just made it worse.
cassandra is currently being forced together, by me, with a certain young master called bradley. who told her to go 'omg. so cute!!' at mftp's picture. anyway, i just realise that she has a fetish for pinafores. well, they are wicked!!
know what adverse ramifications boredom have? cousin brandon who has just completed his o levels is starting on mathematics syllabus c. he took my ten-year-series home yesterday to start on inequalities. he's gone mad!!
not only am i obsessed with cedric diggory, i am very into scandinavian-born arsenal player fredrik ljungberg who modelled for calvin klein briefs. ahh, i want him for christmas.
i've withdrawn from smu. at of this very moment, i am no longer included in the list of matriculated students. smu had to take away my matriculation card!! i love that card. it is so cool to tap it when entering the school at the gantry. the office of registra was quite shock to have me visiting them a week before the exams. i was even interviewed by the officer. quite an experience, i must say. well, like what petrina said, they must be really shocked that i want to leave such a pretty school. sorry but the lovely english universities seem more alluring and resplendent.
i've got an offer from the university of manchester!! but it is not confirmed. i've got to wait for ucas to send me the offer. old trafford anyone? my apologies, but i am supporting the boys of stamford bridge. go chelsea!!

somehow i have been a bad girl during this first term in smu. i scoffed seniors and bad-mouthed fellow project mate (emphasis placed on its singularity). i realised that i've been - as shuowen always pointed out, and sam always warned me of bad karma - very evil. muahahahahaha!! but seeing that the looming departure lurks, i've decided to annihilate the evil side of me by dedicating my heart and soul to wording, oozing saccharine-sweetness as much as possible, the happy and memorable moments of my transient dwelling in smu. before anything, the first love goes to smu, the most vibrant, different and fun university in this entire little island of ours. the following paragraphs were written with heart-felt gratitude, despite constantly minded of the fact that i've fleeting interest in bonding with old friends. i will try to make this time different.
mitchmy dearest tweenie!! no one can ever replace you in my life. simply because you're the michelle i have the most connection with. you are always there when i am down (which wasn't very often, except recently when i am quite emotionally disturbed) and bringing some laughter and joy to every similar seminars. classes without you are absolutely boring. my fellow ardent fan of 'the oc' series, to put it short and sweet, we are just so alike character-wise. upholding feminism whenever possible, we deter ourselves from reducing to lovelorn weaklings. 'CANNOT BE WEAK!!' is what we always tell each other. and our prevalent exclamation is "THAT'S SO WEAK!!" there are so many more things i could write about you. you made it my habit to use the words 'babe' and 'chill'. all those times we would be the only two who are available for chill-out sessions and we'll sit at luxurious coffee joints or cafes to just talk about how we feel and engage in intelligent topics. i guess we've reached that level that we can really read each other inside out. how can i forget the surreptitious eyeing of the cutie in management accounting class? right, he is no longer of our interest, yes? oh tweenie, i will terribly miss you. that is something words cannot express. and i'll remember not to get you an apple for your birthday. (:
shuowenseriously, i swear that this girl is the nicest girl you can ever meet. you are too nice, i reckon!! sam, you and i just bond so well due to a common enemy (the name shall not be announced. i am suppose to be nice!). shuowen makes it so fashionable to say 'excellent' and 'very good' in a damn professional way. you always help me to relief/vent my frustrations using healthy methods. i really have never seen you angry before!! even *ahem* some girl in your analytical skills debate group could only make you turn red. an inherent leadership quality makes you an absolutely ideal person to work with. you plan out meetings, delegate work fairly and cheer us on no matter how drain you yourself are. i will not forget the time we became high at your house after listening to mr tan's 'villa wellness' analogy during his interview. oh, and how about 'prof sam han' and 'strawberries'? and that 'was your day fruitful? ', with no pun intended? gosh, daphne chen shuowen rocks my socks. you are one of the few people i could connect with right at the beginning of school term. you just looked so harmless that i had to approach you. (: in short, i love you to bits. mitch and you are my darling advisers. thanks babe for ALL the fun!!
samanthathe first saint i got to know really well in smu. sam, you are my best, numero uno bitching partner. gosh, she's got anorexia!! ahh, she is getting fatter!! all the most sharp daggers belong to us. we can just kill off others with our lashing tongues. you just cannot stop swearing right? no, wait, you're getting better now. haha. oh no, bad karma!! it is always such a mirthful occasion to have meetings with you because the msn works wonders and we'll just continue with our clandestine conversations even though we were under the watchful eyes of a certain missy. doing peer evaluation with you is a must!! we are just ever so brutally honest. being partners-in-crime aside, you are indeed a good person to go to when i don't know where to have my meals and you are unexpectedly (judging from our unanimous eye rolling whenever something undesirable happens) concerned about everyone. you are very understanding as well. and i'll never forget the emotional trauma you put me through, albeit i know you didn't mean harm. haha. EHH, I THINK HE MIGHT LIKE YOU!! that haunted me quite a bit.
doreenyour friendliness was the main attracting factor. i saw you sitting beside wanshan during our first management accounting class. you were so warm and welcoming. instantly, i found a new friend. countless walks to the mrt station improved our rapport. i will always remember you helping an old lady, who was a stranger, to her destination. you were so worried when she got off at the wrong mrt stop. doreen dearie, you are so helpful. true that you do look unfriendly when concentrating, but when you are not, you are so bubbly and filled with energy. you know very well how to prioritise and are not afraid to speak your mind. a person whom i can relate to very well because you went to adelaide before. and now that i am leaving, your advices won't be turned on deaf ears. instead, i'll listen attentively to every pointer. oh yes, i will not forget you for being so homely and that is something i share with you. we both believe in the warmth of home. i love staying at home too. so we kind of share similar beliefs. seriously, doreen, i wouldn't know what to do if you weren't there when i needed some mature advices. you've been through so much and can really share your wisdom with us all. for that, i salute you, my dearest friend.
wanshanwhen i think of you, i think of 'chicken little'!! it is so hilarious that people think that you are bearing an uncanny resemblance to theabovementioned character. i've known you ever since we were in the first three months of jc life in sajc. oh gosh, i'll never forget the conversation when had during the first management accounting class. we were reminiscing times from kindergarten to junior college just to decipher where we last met. it was so exciting to see my old friend becoming a new friend. how quirky!! you are another one of my favourite chilling partners!! it seems like it's always the three of us (mitch included) who are free. everyone else will be occupied. and being in the same group for analytical skills debate was uber fun. jason really perked us up. and we really engaged in really intellectual topics. i like being intellectual. hahaha. i attempt to. and i really want to thank you for allowing me to rub some of that off you. of course, i love the quote 'michelle wasn't listening to class. she was looking everywhere else. she even noticed that i was stoning!!'. don't you just love stoning? haha. and i'll be the one who perpetually has something to say. oh well, just leave the talking to me. and you chill and stay cool, babe!!
marie annemarie anne!! mer!! hahaha. let's all go 'peewee' and make petrina squirm. (: i cannot believe how much this girl can sleep. you can sleep for 18 hours i heard? that can almost make anyone believe you fell into a comatose. nonetheless, you are very enthusiastic when it comes to chilling out sessions. and i cannot wait for the christmas party at your neighbourhood. you are my favourite mrt partner. we can talk non-stop till we arrive at your stop. that's the kind of connection i really like in a friend. you are always so hilarious and dizzy-looking. that throws me into a laughing fit. don't we all also love bitching about a certain girl who was in your bgs project group (i always seem to bring her up!! but she is like a main connecting point!!)? we can just go on and on about her, can we? oh right, we are going to hang out like crazy after your exams!! yay. i love going out with her because she is my source of entertainment. we are so blardy cool. it is really sad that we only bonded more during the last few weeks of school. and i demand that we make up for lost time. one more thing we have in common is that we have online friends who are in the western world, who kind of confuse us. let's all be strong. i love you, mer!!
suwei and joanna, i am feeling absolutely fine. i am not a weakling. i don't allow guys to ruin my life. i am a strong girl. and i rawk!! hurhur.
OH YES, I LOVE CEDRIC DIGGORY!! call me MRS CEDRIC DIGGORY and you'll make a mirthful lady out of me.

on a typically boring saturday night, all of us were lazing in the family hall after dinner. mandy didn't want to be engulfed by boredom, hence she went online. much to her surprise, mr brussell sprout started a conversation.
at the beginning, his tone was one that every boy should not have when trying to impress a girl. he acted blur and went, "i didn't add you and you didn't add me. how did we appear on each other's msn list? so weird!!" yea, and so very exasperating as well!! he also insulted mornique, calling her "weird" (totally turned us off!! where's the supposed thankfulness?). he went, "oh. mornique is your sister. she thinks i like you and said that she's on a 'mission'. so weird!!"
ps: guys should note that insulting siblings of the girl-of-interest is a definite 'no-no'.
he was so impatient, and couldn't wait for mandy to reply to his incessant 'gut-less' questions. the conversation became rather mundane, until he popped an unexpected question. he begged ("please?" i bet he would have gone on his knees if so required!!) mandy to tell him when her birthday is (like, why do you want to know?). this led to mandy requesting gingerly for an eeyore toy as a present, which he dropped a hint using a neutral 'maybe' (aww...so sweet eh? but still he sucks for insulting mornique!!).
the most exhilarating part of the conversation came in the form of the 'accidental' clicking of the 'heart' wink
twice. "oops. sorry. wrong person." like, do you have to do that
twice? oh, and it was so coincidental that you had to press the '
heart' wink of all winks available. totally conceivable, mr 'not sure'. we bought that, yea? like real!!
i learned from this conversation that a guy can be really juvenile (and thus, weak) when talking to the girl of his dreams. mr 'fall to pieces' played along with mandy-initiated 'taboo' game. the word-in-question was 'haha'. at the end of the conversation, he purposely typed tonnes of 'haha' and professed that he is a gentleman for allowing mandy to win the game. quite a sweet move, actually. he gets a thumb-up for this.
we all know how egoistic guys can be and how full of themselves they are. (ahem, once again, i stress that it is all in the name of extreme feminism demonstration. i am not liable for any damages, be it physical or emotional.) however, mr 'lying close to you, feeling your heart beating. and i'm wondering what you're dreaming, wondering if it's me you're seeing. and then i kiss your eyes..' was willing to stoop himself quite low for mandy. when mandy asked him what subject combination he is taking, he took a while before confessing that he is dropping to sub-science next year. anything for mandy!! anything at all!! (:
sub-consciously, i guess, he showed his desperation. he invited mandy to view 'webcam' with him. gosh, that's how badly he wanted to see her right? haha. when he joked with mandy that his birthday is on april 12 (when it is supposed to be on december4), mandy faked infuriation. this made him plead for forgiveness many times. woh!
the signature phrase was "hey, listen". he is not at all near this 'polite obliging gentleman' when talking to mornique. he was so nice and sweet when speaking to mandy. he ended the conversation with a "hey, listen, i got to go.
it was nice talking to you." can you sense the unwillingness to leave? mornique gets nothing like that at all. poor babe!!
so, that's a way to spice up a monotonous saturday night. but of course, please leave insulting mornique out during the next session.
brandon low's hilarious observation: whenever mandy's around, i hear mr lai going 'cling cling'.
what, you ask, is 'cling cling'? it is the sound of dropping balls. eekk. get it?
dad: why isn't the australian player in the shanghai open?
mandy: lleyton hewitt? his baby is coming out soon.
dad: oh, his baby is coming out soon.
(thinking of the baby coming out of hewitt literally, wide-eyed) HIS BABY IS COMING OUT SOON?!?!?!?!?!?

really, you got to believe in karma. and, God is really a great teacher. i believe He has been guiding me and helping me to grow and learn. for instance, on tuesday, i was being a bitch (like always) and i cursed the 'senior citizen' group in my management accounting class. samantha warned me of bad karma (what goes around, comes around). on that very day, i lost my beloved cellphone, along with my sim card (which means, my contacts are gone!!). i was really upset. but i learned another lesson. imagine me dwelling in high-crime-rate london, not cautious about my valuables since i had not gone through all these? right, now it's ostensible what God has been planning for me. I LOVE GOD!! and i love my dad. he bought me a sony ericsson k750i, much to mandy's jealousy. (:
mr brussell sprout has added mandy to his msn contact list!! could this mean anything? please, for goodness sake, something exhilarating happen soon!! i can't wait already. this is tantamount to watching a soap opera, and i have this great tendency to press the 'forward' button.
how time flies!! in a week's time, i'll be withdrawing from smu. gone are the days of fretting over project deadlines, reading business law, attending fun seminars with my darling 'castle beings', mugging for business law on friday afternoons, listening to impressive presentations and freshmen alliance. i have this hunch that i am really going to miss all of these. i am poignant to leave my newly found friends. they left me really sweet love notes. even those seminar mates whom i didn't become close to, i am still going to miss their vibrant additions to my life. but hey, life has to go on. and i can still hang out with them till september 2006. there's still a long way to go. (: keep those sniffs for the departure gate.
queen mary university of london gave me an unconditional offer. this means i am definitely uk-bound. a timely reassurance, even though it isn't exactly the most prestigious one amongst my choices. my mother actually gave a pout. haha. but yay. i still can't word my delirium.

I LOVE CAL LANGDON!!
chiselled hot body, with well-defined biceps and abs. mesmerising sky blue eyes. ravishing brad pitt hair. unimaginable good looks. serenading literary skills.
one minor hiccup: he is fictional!!
mister cal langdon got me reading meg cabot's "every boy's got one" at least two times. (: contrary to what a perverse person might think, this book is not about the male anatomy. the plot revolves around an eloping couple (mark levine and holly caputo) and their witnesses (cal langdon and jane harris). the latter two experienced abhorring-at-first-sight. but obsession over a typical, plebeian american cartoonist, who famously created 'wondercat', grew in jet-setting, pompous 'new york journal' reporter in the course of seven days of dwelling in romantic cities of rome and le marche. cal was particularly attracted to miss harris' slender right ankle of which she wears a 'wondercat' tattoo, and her hilarious and klutzy persona. jane was into cal's drool-inducing body and somehow, his sardonic bastard personality became alluring when his fun side came through. all in all, this book is a 'teen-fit', relaxing read. oh well, i am a sucker for romance novels.
love isn't all about a chemical inbalance in the head. it isn't only about temporary phenyleythlamine surges which the body will soon get immuned to. neither is it only about endorphins and oxytocin that prolong this unexplainable emotion. rather, as holly said, it's something that you cannot run away from. it's not like you can actually plan to fall in love. so, we just got to accept it as it comes.
oh right, mr 'not sure' has yet again dropped hints of him harbouring some crush on mrs mftp. when questioned about his knowledge of mrs mftp, he could only provide answers via numerous 'hehe's and 'haha's. an embarrassed young man should not be probed further. we have left him sources to explore.
