Hello mudder

My mom likes to log on to my Facebook account to send herself gifts on Fishville, then she gets really happy about it. Yes, it's beyond Lame with a capital L but she's a mom and that's how they roll. They're there to do embarrassingly strange things that make you wonder how could I have possibly been formed from that?

Brunch at Canton-i in Sunday today. Going down the escalator from the carpark, I saw this Chinese girl with blonde hair, 5000 inch heels, a skirt the length of my foot, 2000 marbles hanging from her ears, a cake of makeup on her face and she walked like a newborn baby deer. It was like watching someone on stilts. Every step was followed by a slightly noticeable wobble & the boyfriend kept taking pictures of her. What makes anyone in their right mind think that dressing like that is flattering? If I smacked her, she'd die on the spot (cause she was like Bambi) but her boyfriend would have pushed me down the elevator shaft.

aeiou.

Busy busy busy. Okay not really. Blue house had the 2nd cheer audition today. All the nerves were set on high the entire day even though they kept telling us to chill and that it was supposed to be fun. Well, they don't have to be up against 30 other people to get a spot in the team. My legs are sore from all the jumps. It was an endless continuum of 5,6,7,8 JUMP LAND SMILE ENERGY KEEP SMILING POP PUMP SHAKE SMILE. That's a lot of smiling to do. Now all we do is wait until they tell us who's in and who's out.

Yesterday, we went to visit my grandad at the nursing home. It's quite a pleasant place if you minus the fact that it has that faint smell of urine in the air. Other than that, it seems like a pretty typical old folks home. Folk from the ages of 60 to 80+. My grandad is 72 so he fits in just fine except that he has cancer and all. His vocals are slurred, his eyes are graying, he can barely recognize us and his limbs are reduced to the size of toothpicks. He's starting to eat but not much. The only form of food that he doesn't object to inducing is the milk we bought for him. It's sort of like a meal replacement. It doesn't do much but it provides the amount of nutrients he needs. He may be sick but he's a chain-smoker at heart so he even dared to ask if he could have a smoke. My dad laughed then said "No."

Today

My parents are in Ipoh again. They might be sending my granddad to a nursing home for better care.

Heroes on the couch

(My dinner last night. Supposed to be a teletubby.)

Blue house training today in school. Warm-ups, running & suicidals. Dan & I wanted to reward ourselves with bubble tea but the store wasn't open yet. So we thought we'd get a slushie instead at 7-11 but the machine rosak. FML.

Starstrukk

Lady Gaga's Starstrukk keeps replaying over and over in my head. It's been a very tiring day indeed. Cheerleading tryouts were held today after school. Dan & I went to audition. Farah (cheer captain) taught everyone that came a few moves, how to jump, how to count, how to base, how to fly, the basics of cheerleading. It took A WHILE to get used to cause if you know me then you know I'm not famous for my extraordinary coordination. I'm not even trying to be modest.

2 and a 1/2 hours of all that in the afternoon heat gets people really tired. I'm sure it wasn't the attitude they were expecting especially since a lot of people had to ciao so there were only around 15 people left by 3pm. For those who stayed had a leg up from the rest cause we got to go through the steps for the next practice on Wednesday.

On top of all that, there's class decorations, homework (which I'm happy to admit that I've finished) sleep & CNY coming up. 2010 has so far been THE most productive year ever.

Pew pew

Got this when I was in China. How could I possibly resist?

Sports season has begun and today is its baby. Yellow & Blue were at the SS15 field. All the damp soil & mud from the on-off drizzles got the bottom of my shoes coated in yuck. Dan & I managed to duck out of sprinting to walkrunjog around the field. Not only did everyone shine in the sunlight during the walk back to school, but the stench followed. Jie Yao smelt the worst.

Every period was cut to 30 minutes and I'm grateful for that cause 2 whole periods of KH is beyond boring. Not so happy about PE being cut short cause we were only left with 15 minutes? of volleyballing (epic fail, i tell you.) because everyone was taking their own sweet time to line up in the courtyard.

My mum is out buying dinner cause she doesn't feel like cooking and my maid just left this morning to go back to Philippines forever. Lovely.

PS: I'm going for blue house cheer leading auditions tomorrow after school. I never thought I'd ever be able to say that but now I can :)

My little fishcake

The very usual lazy Sunday but on this particular Sunday, as in today's Sunday it's RyanYee's birthday. Happy Birthday :)

 (me, dog & lady giving him a treat.) 

A very usual Sunday afternoon too but today it involved puppies. The lady that sold Copper to us gave my mom a call this morning telling her that she had a 3 month old male beagle and asked if we were interested. We went to her house to look at the puppy and it gave all three of us that nostalgic feeling cause he looks almost exactly like Copper. We only took the photo to show my dad when he gets back but here it is. My fingers still have that puppy smell no matter how much I scrub them. I don't know if we'll get it. There's a worry at the back of my head saying "What if this one gets seizures too and dies?"
