now playing: candyman-christina aguilera

so let's talk about my day... i woke up at approximately 6.14 from a really wierd dream. (one where i was working at sheng shiong, helping this balding man clean and cut up his crab.. and then it jumped to him asking me to have an affair with him. i was in my THROES of refusing when i woke up(: )haha. then i drifted in and out of sleep for approximately 16 mins when my alarm clock rang. "everybody listen all over the world, i got a story bout my favourite girl..." yup. wait a minute by the pussycat dolls is my alarm tune. what's so funny? ok next, i snoozed it right up to SEVEN am. and then fell asleep for FOUR more mins before i realised i should have gotten up 34 mins ago!

damage control-scrambled out of bed, hit the play button for my back to basics disc TWO, cheonged to the toilet, washed up in.. GASP, 12 mins flat! okay so it wasn't that fast. now we're finally at 7.16 am in the morning(cheers!). took another FIVE mins to change into pe t shirt and my fbts, as well as gather my training stuff, AS WELL AS turn off my cd player! phew. went downstairs, stuffed my stuff into my bag, grabbed my keys, shoebag, cooler, earpiece, umbrella, coins to take bus with AND my shoes! yippee. was out of the house at.. hmm. i'm not too sure, this is where i lost track of the time. so i walk all the way to the bustop which is WAY too far from my house if you ask me, and get on the bus at roughly 7.42(???) yes the bus took that long.

i get off bus TWO at tanah merah, where i wait for THIRTY-ONE to arrive.
i wait.. and wait.. and wait somemore. i check my phone-8.09am. finally at approximately THREE mins later, it arrives. i go upstairs(yes it's a double-decker, you fool.) and sit near the back. and because of my EXCELLENT fortune, the sodding asswipe behind me decided to direct his aircon vent straight at my neck. (i mean, come on! art of subtlety never occured to him) so after a freezing umm.. THIRTY-SOMETHING minutes, i get off the bus, cross the road, enter the school side gate, and sign in at 8.45. ( i wasn't really sure it was 8.45, i simply followed the signee before me.)

i make my way to the foyer, not before saying hi to siu who was at the canteen helping ching carry benches. why carrying benches, you ask? because we were playing against chij st nicholas in a friendly today! yay. okay so after i taped my ankle and wore my shoes, and everyone arrived, we started warm up. TWELVE laps up and down half a court, FOUR laps worth of agility, THREE man ballwork, then finally team ball. after completing mm.. four drills? we went on to half court. ms lee arrives slightly past TEN with a blooming backache. for god's sake, the woman IS pregnant you know.

first quart-played WA, flung a few passes to pam, most went well. did ONE triangle!!!!!!!!!!!!! yesssssssah! can't rmb anything else. (OH YA. there was no frickin' whistle! also meant no umpire..it sucked)

second quart-played WA, flung a few passes to pam, gena scratched by my defender on the finger (i mean, come on! what are the chances of her nail connecting with my finger?!). can't rmb anything else.

third quart-played WA, this time with BROC! flung ONE pass to her, then learnt my lesson not to do it anymore.(love you broc! haha) then offered forward for a ball from ching(i think) cause i was too tired to offer the long one. learnt my lesson to always, i mean always do what your coach tells you. even if you are SHAGGED. can't rmb anythin else!

fourth quart-played WA. PAM is back in da house! too tired to fling anymore. (pam,"i'm hungry." therese,"i'm TIRED") CAN'T REMEBER ANYTHING ELSE.

fifth quart-didn't play, cham took over. (FOUR quarts is no joke.)

sixth quart-didn't play. entertained pam with my singing while she suffered from her MID-LIFE CRISIS. or should i say early-life crisis. oh well.

FINAL SCORE: 35-24........ to tk!! hooray.

the whole thing ended and we were dismissed at.. let's see, 11.34am. played street netball for awhile(damn it felt good!) then cleaned up, changed and went for lunch at parkway with gracie and chingo!!! yes, the threee of us stuck together again. bought our PAOpao CHA(heehee!) and headed toward the foodcourt. but lo and behold! it was too crowded so we ate at kfc where we met our juniors. there i ACCIDENTALLY knocked over a chair, keyword being 'accidentally', and it made this earth-shaking CLANG. oh well. everyone tuned to stare and yada yada.. you get the embarrasing picture.

SO! after eating, we STONED there for quite some time until i decided gracie should stop playing with her leftover coke. we walked aimlessly for quite some time too. then we FINALLY decided to go home. i took THIRTY-ONE (yes, again) from across the road and at this time i was feeling quite sick.. apparently pao pao cha and kfc don't mix too well. got off the bus at BEDOK this time,(for all you variety lovers) and waited patiently for bus TWO to arrive. when it finally did, it was too full for me to get on. (darn you single decked busses!!!!!) by this time i could REALLY feel the toll this mornin's friendly was taking on my back. but, as always, i just sucked it up and waited for the next bus. again due to my EXCELLENT fortune, the bus really took its time coming and when it finally did, it was driven by THE (pronounced thee, to attain dsired effect) RUDEST BUSDRIVER EVER. decided not to let it get to me and enjoyed the rest of the ride home. walked home from my TOO-FAR bustop singing "i got trouble" by christina aguilera all the way, earning glares and strange looks from car-washing maids and newspaper-readin old foggies.

Then i reached home, said hi to my bro (also gave him a hug and a peck, assuring him i would return the coins i took from him to take bus), sat down and began to type this...



DANG. that's a lot of words.

back to basics

dearest blog,
things tend to get so complicated don't they? maybe i'm just making things difficult for myself, i have a knack of doing that. sometimes i wish i could just relax for a bit, and let down my guard. and it seems that i have a habit of denying my dreams. big dreams that i have. maybe i'm afraid of failure? or embarrasment? but its definitely time to admit that i do want to achieve something. and let the world know i desire.. just like everyone else. it seems like a big step doesn't it? perhaps it its. but we all have to start somewhere. and i'll start with you. slowly but surely, i think things will get much simpler:)
love, therese

i hate being uncertain. i'm scared witless and i know it.

he's a sweet talkin', sugar-coated candyman

christmas this year has been kinda cosy and laidback. rather uneventful too.. unless you count the part where i forgot to turn off the tap and almost flooded the house. aunty bee got me my Back to Basics! :D she rocks. mum and dad got me grey's anatomy season 2! :D they rock too. and the christmas greetings have come from the most unexpected people:)

well, one down.. eleven more days to go.

He's a one-stop shop, makes my cherry pop. He's a sweet talkin', sugar-coated candyman.

she listens like spring and talks like june

as the new year draws closer, i think things start to speed up and i'm painfully dragged out of my sleepy reverie. WAKE UP! it's like a bad hangover. 2007 means many things. things i am not too sure i'm ready for. i just hope that i don't regret anything at the end of it all.

east zones are coming. the first few months of school are gonna be living hell. teachers down our throats, (do you recall mrs lim's inspiring "together we can create magic"? they're just banking on us to bring this school out of its shitty predicament.) training every other day, plus its our last season together and i want that title so bad! i guess that means no more late nights. and no more sleeping in class. and no more not doing homework. and no more four hour phone conversations. and no more long, sappy, life-reflecting posts. SIGH. part of me is really worried that all our efforts will amount to nothing. then again part of me also knows that its worth a shot.

o levels next year. no big deal. our seniors have survived it. o levels, so what?

oh shit. who am i kidding?

just went to the dentist today. am suffering right now.


Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you, even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance' five-hour phone conversations
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me

What Your Bathroom Habits Say About You

You are very independent and self-centered. You don't solve other people's problems - and you don't expect them to solve yours. You spend a lot on clothes, and you tend to be a very good dresser. However, it's hard for you to throw away trendy clothes when they go out of style. You have the perfect blend of confidence and class. You're proud of who you are - but you don't broadcast it. In relationships, you tend to be very romantic and demanding. You'll treat your partner like gold, but you expect a lot in return.
