NIGHTMARE
I KNOW IT IS A PRETTY STUPID FIRST POST OF THE NEW YEAR, BUT I JUST HAD TO UNJINX MYSELF.

I JUST HAD THAT NIGHTMARE (AGAIN) WHERE I GOT BCCD/BDDD/BCDD/DDCC/SSUU (IT VARIES) FOR THE A LEVELS. OH MY GOD HORRIBLE. I ALSO DREAMT THAT MY YOUNGER SISTER WAS A BABY AGAIN, BUT THAT IS NEITHER HERE NOR THERE.

ANYWAY I HOPE I DON'T ACTUALLY DO LIKE THAT FOR THE A LEVELS, OR ONE OF YOU CAN VOLUNTEER TO CHOP MY HEAD OFF AFTER I RITUALLY SLICE MY INNARDS OPEN.

In other news, happy belated 2010. I hope this year is exponentially better than 2009, because actually 2009 sucked for me (I don't know about you guys!). I consider 2010 to be a transition year, mostly. I mean, I won't be doing much for most of it, officially.

Anyway have fun. Bye

EPIC UPDATE FROM THE KINGDOM OF THE FREE
Omg my table is coated lightly in sawdust. It isn't as bad as the suspicious piles of sawdust accumulating in weird places (various dustbins, the balcony, etc.) but it's still quite bad. Especially because when I thump my carving, it sheds. Homg. Does anybody, incidentally, know what I can use in place of a fretsaw? Because I kind of don't have one, and I don't think any of you do, and yet I need to carve straight through this thing. And I am fairly certain that it will crack if I use a spikey thing and simply hammer it straight through.

So, I haven't been here for a while! Lots of things have happened, but specifically of note were Tufty's Annual Party and prom, I guess.

Some of you might think it strange, but I have nothing to say about actual prom. Those who have gone to Some Sort Of Prom before already know what it's like, and those who haven't... well, please mentally combine a wedding dinner and last day of school sort of feeling. All I did, personally, was laugh at the emcee and take photographs.

No big deal, I guess. Except for the amazing phenomenon of everyone looking massively glammed up. And I suspect that the prom experience is not merely similar, but practically homogeneous. Which is not xC, despite the fact that he is gay and smart AHAHA >_> okay nevermind. I will miss the big fat presence of xC to tease in the future.

Yeah so after that I went to my class' room (class. Room. Classroom!) and changed back into mufti. Because I hate heels. Oh this makes me think of something.

After prom someone commented that I should wear dresses more or something similar. And I know it is irrational, but at that point in time I was incredibly irritated. Because what sounds like praise/ a cute suggestion to you or whatever = condescending words to me, okay. Don't even try to convince me otherwise. Me being me, I didn't say anything at the time. But really. If I liked wearing dresses, I would, obviously. But as most of you are used to NOT seeing me wear dresses, it should be plenty clear that I don't. And since I get enough of it from my father ("You should be more ladylike" etc. etc.) I really don't want to hear it from my peers. This sort of thing isn't a judgement I feel that one is qualified to make on anyone else. If I really wanted to I could've gone in a tuxedo, that sort of thing. Get what I'm saying?

MOST LIKELY the person who said it wasn't being patronising or attempting to be The Voice Of Society, but it still irritated me. I know. I have no reason to be. I am willing to see the flaws in my own logic. In any case, I'm going to say that sometimes you just like/dislike things, kind of like how most of the time you have no real basis for disliking certain kinds of food. "I just hate pistachios" or whatever, you know?

Right, so, moving back on point! I went back to my class' room and changed. Initially, I'd been intending to slack there and hang out for a while. But sam and yifan being sam and yifan, wanted to go drinking. And so they wailed "IT WILL BE CHEAPER TO CAB WITH THE THREE OF US!!!!!" and "GO DRINKING WITH US! DON'T YOU WANT TO SEE JINGHUAN DRUNK!?"

Thus at 1+ AM in the morning, I found myself swinging my adidas bag and stomping into a cab with two giggly, tiny people. I suspect taxi-man probably thought we were Drunk Level 1 and about to go for Drunk Level(s) 2 - 49 or whatever. Oh dear.

We went into a club named Forbidden City, where many things that Must Be Censored happened. Seriously, they must. It is very easy to deduce my identity from this blog, and I don't think the school would take kindly to my smearing of the name. Or, more pointedly, my use of vodka as the combustive base for my complete destruction of the school name.

.. all right, we didn't really do anything that bad. But I suspect teachers will still shudder at the descriptions of our drunken revelry, so we'll leave it at that. Just imagine a lot of very high people, and jinghuan saying repeatedly that she WANTS TO DANCE!!!!!!!

I SWEAR I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN UP AND STARTED DANCING JUST TO ENCOURAGE JINGHUAN. I CANNOT DIE WITHOUT SEEING JINGHUAN DANCE. THAT SOUNDS VAGUELY WRONG, BUT I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. OOOOOMG WE MUST DRAG HER OUT AND FLOOD HER SYSTEM WITH ENOUGH ALCOHOL SOMEDAY.

Uh probably at least one of us should remain sober though. I don't know how we'd co-ordinate the cab flagging, otherwise. Without anyone becoming road kill or attempting to flash leg to make some car stop to pick us up anyway, at which point my pressing worry will be how to stop axe murderers/ creepy perverts from assaulting us. Unfortunately, some of my friends are quite hot. And rich. Thus making them ideal targets. I am naming nobody, here.

Anyway! Yeah we played stupid drinking games until 2.30, at which point we were kicked out. I noted that clubs were like cinemas in that they turn ON the lights when closing. Hahaha! It makes me wonder what brothels do! OH WAIT maybe they never close?! I mean people want sxe at all hours! They are like.. the seedy 7-11s of the underworld! Except sort of not versatile, because while 7-11 sells all sorts of crap, I'm pretty sure that brothels cannot diversify and be like "Yes, I can rent you someone to fix your car at this hour."

Right. I'm not drunk, btw. Clearly, I was born with natural alcohol in my veins. I am permanently drunk. Drinking might actually make me more sober, I don't know. I've never been drunk around sober people before, and the people around me have never been in any state to comment about my personality when drunk.

So after we got kicked out, we cabbed to Pasir Ris @##%#@^@^@ (censored. That's kl's address D: ) and went up to her house. This happened in the lobby.

SAM: !!!!!!! *points*
WYNNE: What?
SAM: A... A lizard!
YIFAN: AHHHHH- *softly, so as not to wake the neighbourhood* -HHH!!!!
WYNNE: .... Okay I'll... walk between you two. And the lizard. So if it decides to atta--
SAM + YIFAN: *swiftly totter past on heels*
WYNNE: -ck... Well. Okay! Onwards! Where's the lift?

Sam and Yifan came up with the brilliant plan of asking kl to stand in front of her door instead of, you know, ACTUALLY ASKING FOR HER ADDRESS, so apparently we were supposed to look out for her. A preliminary look around when we reached the right floor proved that there was, indeed, no kl in sight. Sam, who was walking in wavy S-shaped lines, decided that she should stage-whisper for kl. Yifan, who wasn't doing much better in the walking in straight lines thing, agreed. I tried not to die. I also tried to stop them, which resulted in a pile of sniggering people on kl's doorstep, and kl asking me with deep horror "Are they drunk?! YOU LET THEM GET DRUNK?!"

I am sorry, dear friend! We ended up with both of them stealing kl's clothes and flopping on the couch and fighting with whichever sad third person got onto the couch with them for couch space. This third person was either kl or chibi, because lkl and I wisely opted to sit on the floor. Peacefully. Like monks. Ommmmm. Ohmmmmm. Resistance = Voltage/ Currentttttttttt

Also I can't remember what I did, but there was something which prompted chenying to accuse "Are you drunk?!" to which kl offered in the tones of one used to suffering, "No, she's always like that." Ah well, at least you know me well! But it'd be a bit hard not to be used to me after like 2 years. <3

Oh let me add that it is mostly rather difficult to get drunk on cocktails, because of the High (!!!!) cost and the low alcohol content. So you need to be a serious lightweight or a really rich dude.

We attempted (Kanglin and myself, that is) to watch Up, but yifan and sam were giggling too much for us to hear anything, so we all retreated upstairs to play cards. In between somewhere was a hideously unglam moment where I was dramatically lying on the floor and telling everyone that I was exhausted from having my picture taken when kl's MOM appeared on the freaking stairs and said "What are you doing, kl! Is your friend sleepy? Is that Wynne? Do you want to sleep on a bed?" And I was like *tries very hard to disappear* "*brightly* No Auntie! I'm Fine!"

Upstairs was the kingdom of AIRCON. Sam accused everyone of looking at her cards and curled up on kl's bed like a cat. It was kind of cute actually. I was given the holy task of figuring out how to complete the stage that kl was stuck at in God of War (shut up, people who have played the game a year ago!) and apparently, was not allowed to leave until I did. HAPPILY for everyone (including kl's mom, I think, because she would've been seriously OMGGGG at having to raise me) I figured it out, so yay!

Then we took turns to play bridge, and yifan passed out on the floor. We mercilessly attempted to take blackmail photos, but it was a sad night: every freaking camera/ phone ran out of battery. Unbelievable, yes? YIFAN YOU ARE LUCKY. Pffffft!

Kl and lkl and myself stayed up all night. Somehow. I tried to figure out the mechanics of Diner Dash, but sadly I could not comprehend kl's instructions, and I almost destroyed the cafe I was playing with >_> It's a bit tragic. I can complete RPG's without walkthroughs because I have played so many that I can sort of predict what I need to do next, but I can't play Diner Dash. Clearly, I fail at life.

Ah and then we decided to go get breakfast, because I was dying from hunger. Actually I'd been dying from hunger from about 4AM, but kl callously ignored my cries for food, and lkl gently offered me biscuits, which I tottered downstairs to eat. I WAS STILL HUNGRY, HOWEVER. I got so hungry that I went all the way into not being hungry, if you get what I mean.

Trying to force out what they wanted for breakfast from the sleeping pigs was extraordinarily hard, apparently. I wouldn't know, because the kl's did it. Sam coped the best: she yelled "with egg!" when asked "Sausage McMuffin okay?", Yifan was second with her muffled "Mmmmm." and Chibi was dead last with her complete lack of response.

Anyway, we walked lkl out after eating breakfast, and then brought food back. I think there was a high density of J2 students in pasir ris that day, because lots of people who had their proms earlier were having chalets. I didn't see anyone, but I think it is mostly because they'd just finished being high and crashing.

When I went back I took a long shower, and then proceeded to call ele and harass her because I wanted someone to go to ECP with me because IT WAS A VERY NICE DAY. But she had some dinner thing to go to and I ended up flopping in bed and KO-ing until some obscene hour.

That was Wednesday down the drain. Thursday, I went out to eat Shabu Shabu with Pong. We were supposed to eat with Irene too, but she was half dead from a) prom and b) tennis at 8 AM. Which is totally wtfffff because WHO HAS TENNIS LESSONS AT 8 AM THE DAY AFTER PROM MAN. And apparently her coach just flew in from Macau at 5 AM, so he was equally =_= So they both spent the entire lesson at like 20% capacity.

Don't ask. My friends are crazy.

Anyway, Irene only showed up at like... 3.30? Heh. Then we bummed around orchard area and Irene moaned about having spent the entire week there. And then:

WYNNE: .... *suddenly realising something* Irene...
IRENE: Yes?
WYNNE: When did you finish your A levels?
PONG: Ha! Hahaha!
IRENE: Ah. 25th 8D
WYNNE: ~~~~囧

FRIGGING ARTS STUDENTS FROM OTHER SCHOOLS. FRIGGING. ARTS. STUDENTS. I am not even going to talk about Michael the jerk who finished before I'd had half my papers, okay. Grrrr.

Never mind! It is over for all of us! And, to all J1s: My past is your future. HAHAHAHAHA. Another thing: if anyone dares to cancel PW, I am going to go down to MOE and hold a strike. If I suffered, future generations had better suffer too. Altruism nothing, man!

Anyway, strangely enough I don't feel any sorrow at leaving DHS. Actually more accurately, I do not feel like I am leaving. I hope that this is because of some heartfelt and eternal connection to the school and not, say, a premonition that I am going to fail so badly that I will have to re-take J2.

In other news! Tufty's birthday bash was, as usual, awesome! It was also really, really late! Because his birthday was during finals/ A-levels, so basically even if Army Boy Tuft decided to hold a party, none of his friends would have been able to show up! I think. Either that or they were being nice to me. Again. I love my seniors!!!

I hear that they shifted it. Again. So that I could make it. Awwwwwww. Anyway! So on Monday, which was Party Day, I went to commonwealth. Unfortunately, my parents did their usual "Eh you're going out in the morning? Let's give you a lift" thing, plus I'd forgotten when we were supposed to meet, so I ended up going at... 9. We were supposed to meet at 10! Wonderful.

I only realised it was 10 because Mu apparently managed to sms me in her sleep. Vina also managed to sms me, but by the time she did, I was at like, queenstown. So, alas, doomed already. In the end I sat in koufu, sneakily drawing an old lady. I tell you, all grannies dress the same. I think it is sad that the new breed of granny doesn't wear the flowery loose outfit thing. I also think it is sad that the granny haircut is disappearing. If you do not know what I am talking about just PICTURE A GRANNY. Granny hair is like, part of the subconscious package. I have no doubt that you'll know what I mean.

Anyway eventually 10 AM came and I went to Commonwealth MRT to meet the others. And realised that once again, there were practically no males. Oh tufty, #un, what cassanovas you both are! Hurr hurr hurr.

Munyi gave me an awesome tiny camera. I haven't figured out how to use it yet, but know this: When I finally do, nobody will be safe. I will be a voyeuristic, trigger-happy maniac!!! (I actually sort of mean this. I don't think panty-shots will feature much, though. Or at all, actually. MOVING ON.)

Yeah so we went to tufty's house! And then we played Guitar Hero forever. Forever. Seriously. From like 10+ AM all the way to when I left at 5.30, and apparently to when the rest of them left at XXXX time. The upside of all that playing is that I have gone from "totally incapable of completing easy with more than 7X%" to "can complete medium with 9X%" because that is what like 8h of playing does to you.

Yuezhi is the god of guitar hero though. She was like lalala this is so easy, lalala, I can play the drums AND the guitar on hard. Tufty was less powerful than yz, that is how powerful she was. And he owns the blasted thing, although, granted, it's not like he plays it every day or even very often.

We were discussing the source of her power, and it is either Yong Siew Toh Power or The Power Of LOVE!!!!! TM. Latter: Don't ask. Chin is insane. And like everybody's disapproving big brother.

Oh yeah all the seniors were back, awwww <3 I was happy to see them, because they rock and I love them. Yingxian my giant pillow was back! She is a pillow. She is white and huggable. I'm sure all of you who know her agree with me, here. Except that she wouldn't be useful as an actual pillow, because she is also insane and giggly.

Munyi the incredibly cruel pretended to be upset when I said I missed yingxian a lot, and like a total tool I believed her T_T So I ended up flailing and yelling NO NO I MISSED YOU GUYS TOO, I LOVE YOU! etc. etc. until she said cheerfully "No I was only messing with you! I like yingxian too!" and I was like, omg. I am such. A tool.

Judy and I are also apparently the empirical proof that EDS people are insane to the rest of them. I was saying something like, haha EDS people seem to have the reputation for being crazy! And then they all stared at me. And at Judy. And were like, "... Well???" FINE. WHATEVER. WHO NEEDS YOU, RIGHT JUDY. PFFFT.

Heck, anyway. Ahahaha the food was excellent, as usual >_> Basically those of you who have never eaten at Tufty's house are missing out on a world of Gastronomical Delight because Tufty's mother can REALLY COOK, and I keep encouraging mu to marry him, but she's all No I don't want to. Tufty is a scandalous boy anyway. If he went to NUS nobody would date him because they'd be under the impression that he had a harem. Or that he was gay and hanging out with his 姐妹, you know you know. On the other hand, if he seriously wanted a girlfriend I guess he would have lots of friends to source out uh friends for him to date! And lots of people to talk to about his girl problems! On the other hand, I don't think most of his friends are particularly normal, so unless he dates someone equally weird---- wait, but then, this is tufty we're talking about. Silly me.

Strangely enough, I am thinking of Zell's librarian girl from FF8. Hmm. Dyou think she ever got along with his friends? They were all kind of insane and probably pretty hard to get along with too. And, you know, the children of fate or whatever.

Anyway after tufty's party thing I had to go get my prom dress, which had been settled some time back but not.. bought, because I am cheap and was kind of hoping that I would find a cheaper dress in the meantime. No comment on the actual cost, which was kind of appalling, and why would anyone ever, EVER spend that much on clothes?! I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I am also considering discovering a hidden talent for clothing design, because clearly, the bastards earn a lot.

Also if any of you love me a lot, I want GTA: Chinatown. It seems undownloadable. On my stupid connection, anyway, because starhub has blocked all torrent streaming sites, which is incredibly @#$%#%@%@% IRRITATING. And it's expensive, which sucks. Not, however, as expensive as the totally gay DISSIDIA which costs like $85 are you kidding me.

But it is still not as bad as the swaveboard, which costs $74 for a cheap looking one and $240 for the normal-ish looking one that that crazy junior owns. Yeah I don't know what his name is, I only remember that I forced taupok to go with me to the ISAC booth and consequently created a terrible monster, viz, taupok on a swaveboard, swaving around, almost demolishing small girls. No, really. Other people try to AVOID people, he sort of just... went determinedly towards them. Happily, nobody died. Or was maimed. Yay! Anyway, that junior was momentarily very popular with seniors who cannot remember his name because of his board.

... okay I'm mean, I'm sure that the others can remember his name. I'm bad with names. Unless people make an impression of some sort (good/ bad/ bizarre/ etc.) or unless people've told me about so-and-so in advance, I don't remember them.

But yeah ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I SHOULD JUST BEAT UP ONE OF THE IRRITATING 10 YEAR OLDS IN MY CONDO AND STEAL THEIR'S. Naturally, it'd be a bit hard to avoid notice, since we sort of live in the same place. Still. ON PRINCIPLE.

Guys, don't actually get me one. I'd be plagued with guilt forever. That you guys actually spent a hideous amount on a completely useless toy for me, that is. Did you not read that article in the papers today about the economy of not giving people stuff during holidays! So don't! It's fine.

I need to think about what to get people for Christmas though, despite said article. Hmmm.

Aaaanyway. Next week I am going to go on a Shoe Adventure with satay, niel and ed. And I shall watch a movie with jm! And I shall go row row row my boat. Except not, because it will not be my boat, because I don't own one. But yeah. Eventually I will also go ROCKCLIMBING YEAHHH!

For those of you who care, I will also have submitted/mailed my stupid applications for college by then. Hoo boy. Wish me luck, I guess.

Now.. instant noodles, because I'm hungry. Ta.
