Happy Birthday

Happy 17th birthday benjamin.

Finally, i'm officially 17. Although i couldn't celebrate my birthday like those in the mtv sweet sixteen show, i'm still really happy to have friends wishing me happy birthday right on the dot when the clock strikes 12. Thanks to all who put a smile on my face in the middle of the night studying for biology today. Thanks also to those who wished me early in the morning allowing me to wake up with so many pleasant surprises. It's the thought that counts and i appreciate that. =)

Happy birthday to those whose birthday are around the corner too..

As my title suggests, my entry will be another random, out of the blue piece of thing.

Today's saturday already, in 3 more days school reopens and commontests will begin. ARGH. Everything is happening so quickly and my much awaited holidays is coming to an end... Then i have to go back to school and face the routine school day lifestyle. I just hate travelling around the school for every single lesson, why cant they just make the teachers move to us and all we have to do is plonk at our seats and wait for the day to end! Har, i miss secondary school. Or rather, i'm lazy.

My body clock is really going haywire nowadays. You just look at my daily timetable! I wake up at 10, which is ok but i sleep at 2 am on average everyday. Before you say, wah so hardworking, i'm not studying until 2am. I'm either talking on the phone or watching tv. I wonder how will i adapt school when it reopens.

Thinking about school reopening makes me sad.

You know, actually i'm supposed to go out with my circus friends today because they wanted to celebrate my birthday. Aw, that's so nice right. ( i didnt even tell them my birthday's coming! they saw it from my friendster). I really appreciate it but i really really cannot go out already because i need to complete my chemistry by tomorrow. Sigh sigh, but it's the thought that counts. I dont know why but this year, i'm not looking forward to my birthday actually, unlike previous years when i will get really excited about my birthday. I dont know why either, probably the main reason is because it lands on a bio commontest which is in midst of all the other papers. I will probably be worrying about how many mistakes i make and stuff like tt. What a wet blanket.

Thinking about school reopening makes me sad again.

OK I MUST STOP IT. I MUST STOP BEING SAD. AND MY ENTRY IS SOUNDING MORE AND MORE MUNDANE.

Ok, back to normal mode.

Did you all watch the superstar show on channel u? Did you? Anyway, even if you did not, i still must comment.

Contestant 1: Pay me back my money
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I tell you, i have never seen in my life, a contestant whose face is so ultra black. I am not referring to her skin complexion for goodness sake. You know what i mean. Her face is black even the judge said that she looked like as if someone owed her money, which i cannot agree more. It's no wonder she got out so quickly.

Contestant 2: Olivia

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Skinny as a stick insect, her head is humongous. Seeing her reminds me of popeye the sailor man because dont you think her face looks a lot like popeye's wife, Olivia. I feel rather uncomfortable seeing her because her stability doesnt seem very good, as in her centre of gravity is very high and her base area is very small which makes her fall rather easily. I feel like pushing her down with my little finger.

Haha, me and my meanie pok comments. I'm really terrible. I'm always offering such terrible comments like as though people offended me which in reality i dont know them at all. WHY AM I LIKE THAT. But then, i like to speak my mind even though i might offend anyone because i really dont care. Actually compared to other people hor, i'm not that mean larh. Right or not. RIGHT. Yes, right, i'm not mean.

Recently, i just had another haircut but i tried EC haircut this time. There's something i dont understand in this salon is that why must they make people put 10 dollars into a machine to retrieve a card to have a haircut instead of just giving cash. It makes little sense. And the worst thing is they dont allow people who are not having haircut to sit inside their salon because their seats have sensors. Yup, you did not hear wrongly. Their seats have sensors to make sure extraneous people dont hog up their seats. I think that's abit too much because like as if they have a million customers everyday.
Now i look like a thai student. My sister even worse can, she say i look like a monk. (monk where got hair one?!).

I cant wait for commontests to go away. GO AWAY.

As random as it get, rojak kalipork

Ipod, i mean bradd

Hey hey ! I finally got my IPOD too! haha. I know it's a waste of money because i dont really have to get an IPOD and i could have just gotten a normal creative MP3. But the slim and sleek cool blue IPOD is really too attractive for me to forgo it. (excuses)

Anyway, this is my birthday present from my second sister who brought Orlando to Moscow (and still is). Haha.

Okok, so that's 2 items off my birthday wishlist. The 2 most expensive one actually, in fact i never expect to be able to get them because whenever pple see the Ipod in the list they will give me a shocked expression, accompanied with a SIAO ARH SO EXPENSIVE!

I gave it a name too, just like Orlando. Guess what's his name, Ok, dont waste time, his name is Bradd. With a double D ok. People brad pitt got double T, i got double D. Haha, ok it's getting abit bo liaows.

Good luck to all of you for your common tests k. Dont worry if you find out you suddenly cannot remember anything, because it is normal. Haha..so many things to remember sure will forget some one wad! And it's really horrid to have your birthday landing on a bio test. Spoils my mood totally.

Being Famous

Have you ever dreamt of being famous before?
Being so super famous that papparazzi stalks you everyday, the media reporting about you everyday and lastly, earning lots of money. Dont you just love the attention. (although too much of it isnt good).

You know, yesterday i dreamt i was famous.

Yes, another queer dream i had yesterday night. I have a rich and creative mind you see.

Ok, it was like this. I went out with a few friends and Faye wong to a shopping centre. HAH! YES, FAYE WONG. Of all celebrities i actually dreamt of Faye wong. Puzzles me too.
Let's just call her Faye.

After spending some time walking around, Faye acted very strangely. She kept coming close to me and holding on to my hands which made me a little uncomfortable.

After awhile, i decided to try on a piece of clothing and go to the changing room.

To my horror, Faye followed me into the changing room! I told her to go out because i want to change but she refused. Then her friend, aka her manager called her out and told her that she have to leave for some event because she was running late.

However, instead of going off with her manager, she became hysterical and clung onto me, refusing to leave. MY GOODNESS you know how awkward that scene was. FAYE WONG CLINGING ONTO ME. In reality, i dont think that will be possible because i will fall down. Then she started screaming to the whole shopping centre that she like me. HAHA( very funny).

Since then, i became really famous. Papparrazi kept following us and magazines and newspapers kept reporting about Faye wong's new love affair (yours truly).

So everyday of my life was spent hiding from reporters with Faye in a black colour limousine.

Then the story could not continue because i accidentally kicked my dog who was sleeping at my foot. The fame ended there, just when it started.

I went back to sleep again and guess what, i dreamt i was blogging about it. haha! Exactly what i am doing now. And i remembered my title was celebrity_dreamzbenjamin@hotmail... (??)

Sometimes i just love my rich mind which allows me to explore different things everyday. I also dreamt of flying some time back which was another wonderful experience. But there is one thing which i dont really understand is why whenever we try to run in our dreams, we cant run fast?

_____________________

Despite saying how i need to study and not blog so often, i still blogged.I'M STILL BLOGGING. HOW?! Anyway, I'm left with bio and chemistry and my greatest fear for commontests is to forget everything i studied and not being able to do any question.

Yesterday, i played with photoshop abit and came up with something really professional in 3 minutes. It's looks quite pro can.

ANYWAY PEOPLEEE, i finally decided not to be so outdated anymore. I signed up for my friendster account just now and it isnt that troublesome actually. But i'm not really good at manipulating it yet.

Oh you know, my cousin fairli tends to attract muds and indians to her friendster account.

Adddddd me!

Then write me testimonial toooooo!

Farters Anonymous

WAHHHHHH. I decided to blog since i just finished my physics revision. Not alot, but enough to keep me happy for awhile. Well well, I'm blogging and I'M BLOGGING! Haha, feeling abit crazy.

I have been generating loads of crap recently, (e.g problem teen). Oh, by the way, my grasshopper is still alive. Surprising sia. It has been almost a week and it's still happily hopping around the small grass aquarium. Ok, i wouldn't say happily, instead, i think it is trying
to bang its way out of that alieny plastic box. I wanted to let it go but i'm just too lazy to bring it down. So for the time being, it will just have to wait.

My mother just came back from shanghai a few days ago and bought a lot of things, as usual. Wanted to take photos of them and post them here but i guess it's really too troublesome. By the way, i have got a wooden flute, a watch, shirts...blah. And a shoe, which my sister lost it somewhere in china.

You know, i bought 2 polo dry fit tee shirts from giordano and it's really quite cheap. Guess how much! Quick Guess...

Yup, only $35! And that's not just 1 polo tee but 2 polo tees! Furthermore, it's dry fit which means bye to sweaty sticky feeling!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Bye sweaty-sticky feeling!

Hahah. By the way, giordano did not pay me to do this. I'm just doing free advertisement, which unfortunately, cannot be counted as CIP hours.
Or else i will probably win some big hearts award.

_______________________

Inproportionality.

No, it's not some math topic. Dont worry. It has just suddenly dawned upon me that i am inproportional. There's something quite wrong with the structure of my body which took me 16 years to realise. People told me before though, but i just put it off until recently i start to pay more attention to it.

I have very thin hands and short stumpy legs. Which i dont know why. Ok, i dont care.

Pretend you din see it. Of course you cant.

______________________________

That aside. I forgot to talk about today's title.

Farters Anonymous. (Sounds nice).

Have you ever walked into a lift, only to be enveloped with a stench? I
think you have, dont deny. You know what i am talking about! In more
layman terms, people fart in the lift, anonymously. (of
course, who would fart and raise up his hand admitting he has just farted)
I have tolerated such nonsense for so many times and i have decided to say
it here. (like as if it makes a difference)

Imagine one day, you walk happily into the lift. You press the button
and the door closes. You realise you made the worst decision of your life
: to walk into that fateful lift. The sky turns black, dark clouds gather
and lightning strikes.

Your face creases into a crumpled looking thing and you
cant breathe, neither can you do anything but wait.

WHY?! WHY?!

The reason is simple, someone just farted inside.

That is extremely irritating alright. Of all places, they must fart in the lift. That small enclosed container which everyone needs to go in. The lift.

Ha, i think my content is not suitable for anyone aged above 20.

My latest addiction nowadays is juggling. It's really really fun you know. Once you get the hang of it! Furthermore juggling has lots of benefits, because it's a form of exercise and it also helps
improve concentration span. Anyway, i can juggle now, although not very steady. I practised quite hard k, the ball even dropped into the fish tank. Serious! Must have give the fishes their greatest shock of their lives.

I'm a clown

Recently, i have participated in a Circus workshop which teaches me basic circus tricks like juggling and stilt walking. I find it very very fun. Fortunately i decided to attend it because initially i was still sitting on the fence over whether should i join or not. I think i have made the right decision this time.

I dont know everyone there and i just lapsed into my super quiet behaviour. The instructor was great though. He is so sporting.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

He is the one in green.

I tried to fix the flash but not very successful.
By the way this photo wasnt taken by me.

After a few games i manage to break the ice.

Juggling

HA! Then we proceeded to learning the tricks which i felt was very interesting since we dont get to play such things.I love juggling! Although it wasnt easy because you need to have GOOD CO ORDINATION, HIGH CATCHING ACCURACY and SHARP REFLEXES which sadly, i dont really possess.

But as the saying goes, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT, i worked hard and never give up (trying to be drama here). I finally succeeded with 4 catches, making my way to be the second best juggler who can do 7 catches. I almost participate in the juggling competition if not for the distance of the venue. It's in Pasir Ris, which is another end of singapore from my house.

Juggling juggling.

Stilt Walking
This is also one of my favourites. Stilt walking! Easy as it seems, it isnt. The surface area of
contact is like 1/6 of your original foot which means you need to balance well. Now i cant imagine those chinarians who bind their feet until its 3 inches. HOW TO WALK?! Really eat finish nothing to do.

Anyway, back to stilt walking, i only took 2 minutes to master the art of walking properly
which is 1/3 the time is took to wear the stilt. Haha.. I'm fast k, just admit it. Then the teacher pushed me front and back just to see if my balancing is good which obviously is, good. Ok, better stop haolianings. Stilt walking is fun fun and fun. I must try it again the next time.. But i din take a picture of myself doing it. WASTED. Instead i help people take. (i'm still very kind one loh)

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

When it was me, i dont need 2 sporter can. I only need one. Okok, i shall stop my nonsense.

Diablo
I dont know if that's the correct spelling for that thing. Diablo is ok i would say, not particularly fun or what. Just ok. You are suppose to roll it, get momentum and swing it up into the air and then catch it. Quite irritating if done under the sun. So i tried once and let it alone.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Poi
You know the NKF charity show always show one.. They use fire balls and swing here swing there and i usually dont donate money because it seems simple. Now, i realise it is quite difficult. I can only do the basic swinging, called butterfly. You just swing swing swing inwards and form 2 circular shapes which is also known as butterfly. Look like a fruitfly actually. The teacher spotted potential in me and taught me a few more tricks which i rather he not because whenever i attempt them the ball keep hitting my head. I think i will become stupid. So i just stuck to the basic swinging and walk around, haolian to other people who cannot do. But one thing, i look REALLY UGLY doing it.

By the way, there is this big huge mirror on the wall which i was facing. As a result, i let go of that toy straight after mastering the basic. I dont even bother to attempt more difficult
things. (anyway i want to avoid hitting my own head too larh)

K larh, let you see how ugly i was.

Purposely make small small so you cannot see properly and laugh.

Rolla Bolla
The most neglected trick. It's just the balancing board on a pipe-like tube. I tried once only. Cause it's quite boring, you stand on it, balance and that's it. Furthermore, you are facing the wall. So yah, nothing much. I din take a photo of it. Too neglected.

On the whole, this 3 times workshop thing is fabulous. Go participate if you have the chance. It was so so fun that i decided to continue. In fact my whole group decided to continue! I will be going once every fortnightly from july and will be putting up a performance probably in the hospital or even conducting a road show in Orchard road. Cooool. Super duper fun!

Which type of Singaporean blogger are you?

I did my usual blog tour today, surfing through blogs and poking my nose into people's business and i came across a quiz in kenny sia's blog, Which type of Singaporean blogger are you? Being the kpo kia, i decided to give it try to find out what exactly is it..

And after doing the test, i realised...

Congratulations benJ, you are...

'Xia Xue' Wendy Cheng of xiaxue.blogspot.com

You are a goddess/god. You've got the looks, the brains and the body. You have such an irreverent sense of humour, people listen to you religiously and worship the ground you walk on. On the other hand you can also be straightforward, blunt and very very controversial. That has the potential to offend many people, but of course you don't care, you just shoot. In the end, people either love you or hate you. Nothing in between.

Which Singaporean Blogger Are You?

It's quite interesting though, you can try. I dont know how many characters are there. Maybe you can try and let me know...

Today i saw a problem teen in the bus stop. He looks young, probably in his early difficult teen years. His hair is dyed though, which makes me think he's a gangster beng. But he speaks like an adult, much more mature than his prebuscent face. By the way, i guess he has just ran away from home from the conversation with his friend which i eavesdropped. He was saying how much problem his family faced and everyday of his life is troubled. I felt quite sad for him actually. Along with him was a bag of snacks and a ranaway bag. By the way his friend was extremely kpo, even more kpo than me can. He was trying to dig out juicy details about him by continuosly asking him what happened when the boy refuses to say because he said that it's hard to explain. His very caring (and kpo) friend of his then went to the extent of asking him to tell him the story in the toilet. Let me repeat, IN THE TOILET. I mean, in the world still got so kpo people mehs. (I thought i'm bad enough. )Want to hear secret until must go toilet to hear.. PEople dont want to say than dont say larh..keep insisting keep insisting for WAD. Ok, i have digressed abit too far.

I just felt an unprecedented level of empathy for that boy. Ok, not so much, just felt a little sad for that young naive teenager. Why must run away? Just eat, sleep watch TV. Life is as simple as that.

Talking about running away, i have never tried running away from home. Running away from home is too troublesome for me. You know, you need to plan what to bring, where to stay, how much to bring, where to get money..blah blah etc. You need a great deal of planning before you can actually run away from home with dignity. With dignity. Why i say that. Because if you run away and realise you forgot something and then run back home, it's too embarassing. It's too uncool and no backbone to do that. If you want to run away, run away with pride for several days until your parents dispatch a search team or something. Anyway arh, i am not encouraging people to runaway because it's too troublesome and there is simply no need to. Everytime i argue with my parents i just laugh or sing a song. This is called anger management alright. By laughing or singing a song, i can suppress my anger and make the other party annoyed. This is a win-win situation. I strongly advise everyone to adopt, if you want to live longer.

Ok, before i leave and sign off to have my KFC 2 piece chicken meal, let me just gently warn you people about market surveys on phone. Sometimes i dont know why surveryers like to pick my house( see my very first entry). Once again, i was piqued by such surveyers. Firstly, they like to say it's a very short survey. MY FOOT. Never belive them. Once you hear that, hang up the phone, no matter how guilty you might feel. Secondly, once luring you into the trap, they will bombard you with a series of senseless questions. You know yesterday i spent 14 min entertaining a silly woman who read out about, hmm, 25 advertisements, asking me if i can remember them. ?! Then they asked if i plug my mp3 player into loudspeakers. My head almost rolled of the ground.

Yesterday i caught a grasshopper and created a home for it. It's my new found pet which i can see while i do my homework.

Pepsi : Anything for CheeZe!

This is a short video clip of Pepsi. He is super cute and will definitely do anything for that BIT of cheese!

Presenting,

Pepsi : Anything for CheeZe!

6/07/2005

What happen to pepsi?!

My goodness, my goodness. How could they do such a thing to cute little pepsi.

I stepped into my house a moment ago and was too shocked to do anything else.

You see, Pepsi's fur and nails were growing too long and whenever he runs, there is this click clack sound due to his nails. So, we decided, it's time for grooming.

We set out to Hong leong gardens because there are a few pet shops there which pepsi frequent. However, we were very displeased with the shop's attitude. When we stepped in, they said

Sorry, no appointment we dont entertain.

For goodness sake you dumb dumb goon head. (For your information, one grooming session costs 50 bucks) That snobbish shit head actually had the cheeks to reject us and make pepsi so embarrass. Please, thousands of dog groomers are waiting to give pepsi a hair cut , what have you got you tell me! You should feel honoured we are giving you a chance to cut pepsi' s golden fur. STUPID GOONHEAD. I hope your shop close down next month. People, dont say i never warn you.

Feeling downright humiliated, we walked out of the shop and never turn back again.

Instead, we went to another one near the clementi ESSO petrol station to have his hair cut. Of course this time, the owner was more than willing to do it.

I think pepsi felt really cheated this time because he thought we were bringing him out but who knows, we actually brought him for a hair cut which he hates.

In 3 hours, he turned out a different dog.

BECAME A SCRAWNY PATHETIC MALNUTRITIONED ...

CHIHUAHUA.

The most unappetizing thing is his tail, which used to look like a cute fluff ball, became like a big thick brown WORM...

SHOCKING. SHOCKING. SHOCKING.

i played mahjong with your grandmother

I suddenly have to urge to blog again, early in the afternoon. I wanted to swim today but there is this excruciating pain in my neck area which makes me very uncomfortable. I popped a panadol extra just now but the pain is still there. It feels a bit like a blood clot in my neck, which i hope is not true.

Yesterday i was awoken by a noisy RC celebration below my house. They were celebrating dont know what occassion and it started at a shocking 8am. For goodness sake, i am still soundly asleep at 8 am and they were making a hell lot of noise which woke me up at the wrong side of the bed. Irritants, irritants. Cant they just start a little later? So early down there shout here shout there. People like me need to sleep one can, especially on a sunday morning.

At around 2pm, i went to my grandmother's house to play mahjong with her friends. You know, usually i dont go to my grandmother's house and i went there yesterday because there was a mahjong session. I feel really bad about it you know, and i tried to make up for it by washing some dishes.
My grandmother's friends, which might coincidentally be your grandmother, did not really think too highly of me at first, purely because of my age. I am 2 generations younger than them to be exact. I wanted to prove them wrong but i could not because, i did not win a single game until xi feng (west game). I was rather annoyed at myself too because it always seem so near yet so far. And i kept asking money from my mother which made me look so lousy. I think the reason why i kept losing is because their style of playing is very different from the usual style i play normally. You know they dont count half colour and a full colour (1 set) only worth a miserly 3 tai. This makes it very hard to win big and you purely have to depend on your flowers you get.
Oh yah, grannies attempted to cheat. Ok, i should not put it so bluntly. I would say they are forgetful. You know what, initially they said that ping hu is worth $2,$4 and then when my aunty won it, they said it is worth $1,$2. That's a half price reduction! Subsequently, when my aunty won it again, they said it is woth 80cents, $1.60. Terrible sia. But being very respectful junior i did not bother to correct them.
Fortunately, in subsequent games, i won a few big games and caught up with my debts. In the end i won 20 dollars k! I won all 3 kahkess. I told you i'm good. I think the grannies dont want to play mahjong with me anymore.

Afterwhich, i went to the RC Parents' Day dinner at my granny's house. In fact my entire maternal family was there. It wasnt as bad as you thought it would be, based on the fact that it was held in an open field in midst of flats. I like the host alot! She's a 40 plus lady, clad in an eye-catching tube top with fish scales like reflectors(i cant think of a better word) and is very young at heart. She was bobbing up and down the stage and dancing sportily with the singers on stage which cracked me up totally. She's the best void-deck-dinner host i have seen so far alright! She made the programme so much more enjoyable. AND OH YAH, I AM SO PROUD MY GRANDMOTHER! You know what she did! She sang in front of all the guests at the dinner! My goodness, i will probably not have so much courage to do that! She's already in her 80s i guess, making her the oldest among all those who stood up to sing.

By the way people, i am utterly disappointed with you. Did you not see the SIGN MY GUESTBOOK LINK at the side bar. DID NOT YOU?! I left it there for 2 entire days, 48 whole hours, 2880 minutes or 172800 seconds and NO ONE EVEN BOTHER TO SIGN! NOT A SINGLE SOUL.

10 reasons why bengs should be banished

Haha, i agree my previous entry was seriously crap. But who cares anyway.

I realised my rotten entry was quite effective. I went out 3 consecutive days ok. Let me see, i went to orchard, i went to katong and i went to east coast park. In essence, i travelled across singapore in a grand total of six times . And what does this show? I'm not unpopular after all. Ha. Thanks to jax for asking me out yesterday.

I had quite a good time blading in east coast park 2 days ago. Furthermore it wasnt that crowded and that is extremely important to me, the amateur and accident-prone skater boy. I brought my bulky skates across the island and took nearly 20 minutes to put them on, including my wrist and knee gaurd. I look so pro can. But looks can be deceiving, because i was wobbling throughout the entire journey. And oh, i need to warn all of you to be extra cautious about little children in the park. WATCH OUT FOR LITTLE CHILDREN. They might seem small and powerless but when it comes to causing accident, i tell you, they top the charts. For example, there was this little boy who was cycling in his 4 wheeled bicycle and he almost crashed with us because his line of vision was perpendicular to his line of motion. In other words, he was looking sideways. But then being the alert me, i immediately siam one side and prevented a much unwanted head on collision. Of course, there were many others but fortunately i'm still in one piece, alive and kicking.
I quite hate little children sometimes, especially if they arent cute. They are clumsy, noisy and cumbersome to bring around. They make so much noise as if they are the only creatures on earth. And they bump onto almost anything because their vision scope is small due to under develop eyes. Plus, they are short. That day i tripped a little girl and i think she deserves it. WHO ASK HER TO BE SO CLUMSY. WHO ASK HER TO WALK WITH HER EYES CLOSED. In addition, parents who bring them in baby prams also do cause a lot of inconvenience. For example, they block the entire pathway which causes jam esp if the place is crowded and they take up the space of 5 people in an MRT.

Yesterday i went to orchard with jiexuan and friends. We spent a bomb playing pool. Dont be shock k (50 dollars!!). My goodness, i never play pool until so expensive before! But then again, i only played pool once.
I think i got talent one can.
Afterwhich i saw the band chalet com people. Ching and i kept disturbing adriel as usual.

On the way home, i met a group of bengs in the queue for my bus, which disturbed me alot. Even the aunty behind was shaking her head furiously and rolling her eyes like nobody's business. These people arh, should really be banished from the world and never be allowed to see the sun. They are nuisance to the public. Now, i really need to justify this and i want to anyway.

Reason 1 : They utter explicit vulgarities loudly in public
I feel that it is extremely rude to continuosly yell vulgarities in public where there are so many people present. This includes the young and innocent, the sohisticated and mature and the old and wise people. And i bet no one will enjoy hearing such rude language in front of their faces. For goodness sake, not everyone share common interests with you.

Reason 2: They spit on the ground
WAH LAU. You know that day, they were sitting on the bars of the queue line and they conveniently spat on the ground! That was extremely unhygienic and inconsiderate! You know how many people were there behind them! And if they were a little careless, they would be stepping on their plegm! (Fortunately i was in front.) Let's say someone stepped on it, the plegm will stick onto his shoes and then then he will step all over the place and he will spread all the germs around. Finally the entire queue line will be filled with bacteria. Ew.

Reason 3: They litter
Ok, i know not all bengs litter but the ones i saw yesterday litter.

Reason 4: They smoke
They not only smoke, they share cigarrettes.

Reason 5: They colour their hair like monkeys.
Since the time of evolution, monkeys has evolved into man and now, man is evolving back to monkeys. What has the world become.

Reason 6: They pick up fights when people stare at them
This is amusing. In fact in most cases, people merely looked at them, not even considered staring. But bengs treat it very seriously you know, they cannot take it one leh. They must take revenge. But i find it funny. Would you fight with someone who looks at you?

Reason 7: They speak weird languages.
The speak a language with an indecent mixture of hokkien vulgarities, broken english and chinese. It can get quite annoying at times.

Reason 8: They speak very loudly.
The world revolves around them and only them. I wonder if they are competing against who can speak louder in every conversation.

Reason 9: They cause trouble.
I dont think this needs any elaboration.

Reason 10: They have fringes like curtains.
For goodness sake, this is not cool AT ALL. Covering half of your face with hair is not a single bit trendy or fashionable. Instead it's very irritating and i have the urge to snip them off.

But then, there are good bengs as well. I am not saying all bengs are bad. Some bengs have a kind heart and helpful nature. Go bengs!

Neoprints, when things go wrong.

One of the most money wasting activity teenagers can be engaged in nowadays would be taking neoprints. I'm not against taking neoprints or anything because neoprints do have their value as well. They help people to bond and preserve memories. That's why i do take neoprints occassionally with groups of people i'm with. With the continuous advancement of technology, neoprint machines have progressed so much that they can perform so much tricks. And this comes along with a price, 21 tiny neoprints can cost a whopping 9 dollars! That amount of money is enough for me to have a decent meal anywhere and turn machine 9 times! But then again, it's fun. It's fun to squeeze 10 people into one small machine and try to make your face at least visible in the screen and hopefully your face turns out well. It's also fun to decorate your neoprints, adding words like WE ROCK. So in the end, neoprint business continue to thrive, earning big money everyday.

Yesterday, the clarinets section decided to waste money. Haha. no lah, it wasnt a waste of money in the end. We walked into a neoprint shop, squeezed into the machine and took our neoprints. So the neoprints turned out quite nice...

Another one....

So actually, the 9 dollars was worthwhile. But then, due to liane the smart and creative, our 9 dollars was made even more worthwhile. You look at what she did..

Guess who's that.

Photos courtersy of chrissie who kindly scannned them for me to upload. Thanks for making it big too.

Brilliant. I was laughing until i could hardly stand up. You look at her face! Super hilarious.. I did not know neoprints can distort people's picture too. HAHA! It was seriously, FUNNY. In case you are thinking it was me who instigated them to do such things, please lah, i din. I not so high-tech in using neoprint machine. Liane arh, terrible. But i like.

Ok enough of neoprints.

As i was saying, i bought my BLADES!! So i can officially cancel one item out of my birthday wishlist. My sister was asking me what i want for my birthday and i told her roller blades and she brought me to buy them. I bought them in this very big roller blades shop in katong. The salesman was really professional. He even organise classes to teach blading but the blades were expensive. I tried to choose the cheapest one there and it's still 270 dollars. Plus i bought the gear set (knee gaurd blah), which cost another 80 dollars. So all in all, i spent quite a bit on my blades. Sigh, i'm wasting money again. I'm going to blade today anyway.

Weee... off i go.
