I've just started playing The Sims lately, all over again.

It's a classic game. Apparently, the last time I played it was two years ago and I got so sick of it that I decided to give myself a long hiatus or something. And then my comp crashed.

And so MILLIONS of dollars were lost (fake lah, of course) because I had spent the time building up a massive Sim empire and getting jobs for my precious Sims and sending their children to school with straight As.

I even climbed the career ladder for Mr Pleasant and made him the President.

And on the way, I realised that most Sims can be mighty cruel. Such as, Mortimer Goth had 3 mistresses not including his wife Bella, who got pretty pissed when she found out and started slapping them all.

Ouch.

Well, I made Mortimer elope with one of his mistresses in the end and he just left Bella alone with their daughter (I forgot what's her name) even though he was the sole breadwinner of the family.

Double ouch.

Anyway, the reason why I am playing the Sims is because I can't install the expansion packs like Hot Date and Vacation. Though I suppose if I had Hot Date, things would get more spiced up with his mistresses. Sigh.

Jeremy has agreed to lend me Sims2! Yaye

Now I can burn it. Midnight madness.

Aight, back to my game. 0 Comments

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm so bummed!! I accidentally erased the memory card with my prom pics. Great. The one with 5 pictures.

Now I have only one picture left cos I managed to save it in time by hitting the cancel function button repeatedly.

Why do such bumming things happen to me sometimes?

Anyway, here is ze photo.



(Left to Right: Qian, Me)

Qian looks PRETTYY! :)

Note that my fringe looked like straw so I really had to pin it up impromptu. Mich said that my fringe looked flat.

WY told me not to worry cos it's sorta the latest fashion to pin your fringe up now anyway, haha.

Great. Haha.

Question: How long do fringes take to grow?

I really really hope it'll even out in 2 weeks. Tough luck.

Anyway, gonna visit my gramps now :)
Kinda miss them cos I haven't seen them in a month.

Please send me pics everyone!

Woke up at 4:30pm today. I'm listening to MYMP now. It's this slow soothing song called Especially for You. Was introduced to this relatively unknown band by Michelle Lai. I love the leading vocals, she sounds pretty sweet.

Anyway, I forgot to add that during prom yesterday there was this new band playing called Giants Must Fall. They're already signed on by Universal Music (?). Not bad. And the lead singer is this girl playing bass in my church.

I didn't notice her until Mich pointed it out to me, haha.

Alright. Gonna meet her at Starbucks right now.

Lazy saturday.

I can't wait to go to KOREA next week!

Meanwhile, prom should have been a blast. But I guess I still love my grandpa a lot. Still in the down mode. Doesn't help that I got a choppy fringe yesterday. My curls make me look like Goldilocks with straw stuck in the front.

I'm trying to outgrow my fringe now.

Grow, fringe, grow.

Maybe I should water it.

What made the day worse was that my camera died after taking 5 shots. Thank you, Olympus.

I almost felt shocked when the angmoh guy referred to me and jasmine as beautiful girls yesterday. He's kinda old.

But. I mean, me?

His wife/girlfriend was just behind and I could almost feel her icy dart like stares hitting my back. Scary. It's like telepathy between women.

Almost like the kind in movies where you see a girl with her husband/boyfriend and another guy who likes her/was her ex, and then the two guys look at each other straight in the eyes and clench their fists or something. Hidden men language. It's universal.

I could just feel him looking at us. AH. I was like, can I get out of this lift soon.

And jas was still in her happy, I-don't-know-anything mode. Counting the portraits on each level as the lift descended.

On a side note, foreigners do have better manners than most Singaporeans. The angmoh guy actually stepped aside and let jas and I walk out of the lift first. He said, "Ladies first," and smiled. It is the first time in my life I've heard someone other than a bellboy or doorman or butler say that to me. It's really a priviledge. Although he seemed a little lecherous, it made me feel honoured.

Well, I do get let out of the lift first by some random Singaporean guys sometimes but the magic word is in "Ladies first", you know? Sounds a little James Bond-y. It has the wow effect if done properly.

Ever wondered why James Bond is old and not really appealing but he still manages to snag all the hot babes like Halle Berry and Salma Hayek? Thats because he's a gentleman. It's kinda like inner beauty from within.

Good thing is, every guy can achieve that.

I remember I used to hang out with this friend of mine who is a guy, and he would hold the lift door and even hold my hand to bring me across the first step of the escalator (which is quite unnecessary, actually) just so that I wouldn't fall on my heels. Perhaps he thinks that all girls are so weak. Which actually makes me wonder, which guy would do that?

Although it may seem unnecessary, he is gentlemanly.

It's a good way to snag girls.

Maybe Singaporean women don't get treated well enough, haha.

Kidding.

***

I just realised that the Regent looks beautiful at night. And I thought it was 4 stars. Wouldn't mind staying there, actually. There are plants on every level and the plush carpet makes it look so grand. I love dim lighting because its flattering and it makes everyone glow from within. It's also kinda romantic, eh?

I seriously would consider the Regent for any future celebrations. It's not really high end but good enough for me.

What made the day good was that I was so touched by the video that I almost cried.

On the whole, prom was okay.

THE AFTER PARTY WAS A BLAST.

Hanlin should totally have gone to me and Sam to do her hair and make up. For free.

PS: Meanwhile, I feel much better now. Let out everything today! Thank you Mich and Wanyin :)

To Mich: You've always been my good friend. I can't thank you enough. You're always listening to my problems too and more than willing to share your time with me. You're also someone I can turn to when I need practical and straight-to-the-core advice. Our personalities are about the same. You're someone I can go crazy with and then give "Errr..." looks later. Haha. Thank you, I feel much better now :)

To Wanyin: I guess it was just a case of letting our emotions get the better of us. I'm glad things are back to normal! Anyway, just wanna let you know that I treasure you as my friend. We share the same taste in clothes and actually I think we are quite similar in some ways too. Thanks for listening to me about my grandpa. Don't worry. we'll find another plan for the sentosa group outing soon :) So, movie outing on still?

song

I know we haven't talked in months. I thought I was gonna forget you.

But today I opened an envelope in my letterbox.

I read what you wrote for me and I cried.

And the song you sang on the video. You told me not to post it on else. Duh. Haha. Although you sang off tune sometimes and it wasn't as nice cause I was laughing like mad! Haha. But it was from your heart. It was very touching and sweet. It moved me and I don't cry often. Yep, happy birthday.

Thank you. I miss and love you. Finish your training soon so that we can talk.

Yep I know I may be going to JC soon and then we'll be in two different places. But it doesn't matter right? Because we can cope. We've coped for the past year.

I never knew you treated me as your best of friends. It's hard for a girl to understand a guy. Sometimes I don't know what you're thinking about or how you feel. I'm sorry.

Although I already have a bestfriend. You will be my best GUY friend. You understand me a lot. You know I'm fickle and I'm stubborn. You always know what I'm gonna say. Thats why you never let me choose my stuff. You know all my bad and good points.

Come back soon. Spend christmas with me. We're supposed to play with fake snow remember? And take pictures and sing at the beach and do everything under the sun.

I love you.

Love Jia

A song I wrote when I was thinking about the rain.


I can't believe I took so long
To find out who you are
Winding down the road
We always walked
You're like a forgotten past

Pages of a scrapbook
Untouched
Skin upon skin
Sin upon sin

Thrills on the ID
You ignore
Well, let me tell you
It's wrong
It's wrong

It's totally wrong

Have you ever wondered?
How rain falls in the ebony
As you fling
And curse, you know
How tears fall

Swathed in red satin
Six inch stilettos
She's dressed to kill
But Queen took a swipe
And you fell back

She kisses your sins
Ebony in the white

Well, its just a tan silhouette
Covered
Covered in tears
Covered in tears

Tomorrow's officially prom dress searching day!

Yeah yeah yeah yeah hehe

Anyway, if you see me online I think I'll be the last person you might wanna ask about my prom dress because I totally have nooooooooo idea.

Really. I don't know what colour I want and all. Argh. Shopping just gives me a headache at this point.

And I can't believe Shiseido offers free make up services, well according to Jasmine. Should I still go for A_ _ _ _ _ _?

I have to take note of my budget.

Not like someone who got his suit for $198 at Raffles Tailor. Wow.

Heh. All I know is that I want sky high heels.

This is when I can start watching korean dramas and going out with my friends all over again. And go to church without having to wonder if I'm able to catch the early train home in time to revise my work!

I love life.

So this is what life is for.

Today, a guy from my old chinese class friend asked me out to watch Phantom of The Opera.

At the Esplanade.

Apparently, it's next year.

I have never watched a musical before! Heh. And he's paying for everything. Including dinner at Chijmes. I couldn't believe it. But oh wells. I am pretty sure my mom will not let me go.

Sigh. I really wanna watch the show! My first musical.

ARGH

It's really nice of him though. I wanted to pay but he did not allow. He's loaded. I feel bad but I really wanna go! Haha. Oh please.

Should I go?

But if I go, I have a feeling the boyfriend may not like it. Plus my mom.
If I go, I'll get to watch the SHOW.

Should I sacrifice my feelings or his?

I'll sacrifice mine.

So no, I'm not going.

Anyway, after we talked about it, we came up with Plan B. The Boyfriend pays for his share and I pay for mine. No dinner at Chijmes. (I haven't stepped into Chijmes before, but oh wells. Haha)

So after a little more haggling. I managed to clinch a sweet 15% deal. Sounds like the merger terms between Spore and Malaya.

SO NOW THE BOYFRIEND PAYS 85%! Mwahaha.

Oops.

I can't wait. Musical Musical Musical -sings-

I love Musicals!!

I thought of how my friend was trying to ward off a guy by claiming she was a lesbian (duh, not) and I smiled. Okay Evil.

Sorry sometimes I just really can't help it.

After 6 months of courting...
Pete: Actually, I have something to tell you. I like you, Ling.
Ling: Huh?

As if she didn't know. Girls have that innate sixth sense.

Pete: I have f-feelings f-f-for you M-Mei Ling...
Ling: Oh. Yeah. Actually, I have something to tell you too.
Pete: Huh?
Ling: I'm, er, not exactly straight?
-Long pause-
Pete: Huh. You gotta be kidding.
Ling: Nope, I'm not. Wanna see my surgically enhanced _____?

Harhar. How comical.

I wonder if the guy was heart broken. Or would he be shocked?

How would you react in this situation?

Pretty and sweet girl you like,
the next thing you know, she's unavailable in the worst way possible.

Oh wells. Poor guy?
