okay. i know. i KNOW, already. stop staring daggers at me xf abby jn. hehehe. but eh what can i say the music was good and i wanted to dance and it was fairly clear that everyone was just standing around refusing to move to EVENTUALLY -someone- had to start dancing. hehehe. sorry for making your hall people think you have weird friends, ning, but-- er-- that's the truth. so they might as well find out :D
thanks for teaching us how to stand like models, though. HAHA i agree it was HARD. AND impossible to balance.
anyway! so yesterday was blackjack night-- ning's dnd bash at dxo. that, my loves, has got to be our favourite haunt. why do we keep returning to it???? oh and guess what abby was 2.5 hours late. nearly 3. because she, being the brilliant paris hilton fan that she is, stood for 2 hours in GLARING direct sunlight watching boys swim and ended up practically getting a heatstroke. ABBY!!! argh. hahahaha
i met xf at 6 or thereabouts and we were let into dxo by one of the staff-- the existence of whom ning seemed to have difficulty believing in, because she kept asking "whoooo let you in??" and xf had to keep saying "some ren la!!!". hehe. seeing dxo in the bright light of day was an utter eyeopener. it looked more like a meeting place for some grunge garage band than the hedonistic (okay maybe tt applies only when -certain- people go *wink*) dancefloor we're so used to at night. we kept meaning to buy flowers for her, but eventually we forgot. argh. dinner at sakae; then at dxo guess what we got carded. as in, membership cards. HAHA! joy free entry and one-for-one housepours. hehe. big deal i can't drink anyway after ONE housepour yesterday i started my RLH syndrome again. and no, i wasn't drunk, abby, i dance like that all the time. hahahaha. :p
hehe i can't actually remember what ning looked like on the catwalk because i was so busy trying to snap a few decent shots and my camera wasn't cooperating.but she looked gooooood. even without a hairstylist haha. scarless legs. and her outfit was flattering too!! i mean, there's only so many LBDs you can look at before dahling, you just get jee-eh-ded, you know. and i can't believe xf totally realised that one of the contestants wasn't wearing-- um- support. hahahaha. and we concluded, of course, that ning was the best contestant. at least she was memorable-- i really have this impression that all the other girls just looked the same!!! like they'd come out of the same mold or something. and to further reinforce that impression-- so many of their hobbies were "eating and sleeping". like hello??!! that's not a hobby?? totally reminded me of an sms convo xf and i had, over a blog post about mediocre girls who listed "eating and sleeping" as hobbies.
xf: "Rarr. we aren't fated to even meet online. Sob. Haha. Eh yeah that was the one.. it irked me for some reason. haha. maybe cos i love to feast! Haha!"
me: "It made me sad. Rarr. and now i want to get a decent hobby. you know tt "i'd rather die terrified than live forever" nick some 2d person had? Yeah. It's like--a life lived in mediocrity is no life at all. Eeeps. Feasting is the least of it... I think it's like the pop culture clone mindset? Rarr"
xf: "Rarr! makes everyhting sound damn bleak :( but i was thinking like, i can't help it if i'm not like damn passionate about something right?"
"er. haven type finish. my phone hung. but i guess thats what he meant by being mediocre. ok lo. anything lor. rarr. zzz."
me: "but is it-- i don't know, wrong because we're willing to plod along being bleakly bleh abt everything? To be-- content in our apathy? I kinda felt like he did have a bit of a point... If all we've got to live for are mealtimes and msn or facebooking or-- the tyra banks show, or something: if everything is just awesomely awfully superficial and shallow. Won't u wonder what's the whole purpose of waking up then...? But if we don't truly feel passion in the first place we can't fake it or, what, cultivate it anyway right. Damn bleak. Eurgh"
xf: "two words for all that insight.'ya lor'. haha. since i was kinda thinking along those lines too.. and i also suspecy that mediocrity is a fact of life since we can't all be er the opposite of it? Not sth u can really cultivate imo, like you said.."
me: "Yeah. Sigh. But- argh-- doesn;t mean we cannot "rage, rage against the dying of the light". SIGH."
xf: "haha. eh bleak. rarrrrrr.. anyway that made me wonder why people would list something they 'did once in the last 6 months' as a hobby. Zzz."
Back to topic. basically at least for ning's description she talked about her friends, about how she wakeboarded and everything. the rest? REALLY eating and sleeping. even the guys. is it not... cool... to be passionate about something? what a JOKE. then please, let me be damn hot. HAHAHAHA yes i meant that. :P god that reached new depths of low, man.
haha and her "Talent" was quite fun too. the magic trick! the tricky magic trick! damnnnn sly! hahaha but it was refreshing. hehe. and of course the final bit was the sportswear segment. too bad not swimsuit. HAHA!!
but rarrrrrrr she totally should have WON. HUMPHS. nvm still got 90% hehe! eh ning if you're reading this were you the one who commented on the wordpress site? doesn't sound like you. haha. in fact it sounded rather annoying. is someone impersonating you???
then after that we took tons of pictures and i forced them to dance. er. i was all over abby trying to get her high HAHA she's never clubbed with us before!! and because the floor was so empty (the atmosphere was about as hyper as a dead star)we had so much space we could practically (ok i DID) do footwork HAHA and we started twirling everyone around. hehehe
xf i'm proud of you. haha. you led the dance!!! yay. and you've got to admit it was good music at least it's not like on random fridays when they suddenly play something that sounds like it came out of the indian nipple song on youtube. hehe. and of course you had on sexy heels. :D abby let up. i refuse to have to seduce you onto the floor again next time DANCE, already. :D you won't have fun unless you let go! and besides like i said no one there knows you, and no one is going to CARE what you do. so let them look if they want. haha.
ni we missed you. but we have lots of pics, and ning looks goooooooood. as do xf and abby. just cover my face and you'll have perfect pics. jiayou for training. we miss you :(oh we saw kristin too. haha.
oh wells tt was more or less it for dxo. we left early. 8.30am and 9am lectures are no trifling matters hahaha SIGH.
right. pics another time i need to go read now. bahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
don't be so quick to walk away
