huh. yeah. haha
don't intern la. pay not so good, and your status is the coffee stain on the carpet
hahahahahhaa. SUCH positivity.
the abovementioned internship refers to a place where we actually had a hell lot of fun, but oh wells. can't commit. another dream dead and gone and buried.
i am now officially jobless until the next internship starts. in any case the one that just passed-- which i cannot talk about apparently-- made me feel like i was interning at settler's or kbox please. we started the first day with karaoke-- i think! we karaoked so much (actually today the seniors asked us to karaoke after work with them too, but i don't think anyone stayed. hurhur) and then proceeded to end on an absolute high that had nothing to do with being the highest XXXXX in the land (i'm censoring IN CASE i'm not supposed to talk about this and it's picked up on a web trawl. oh the paranoia) and everything to do with insane foosball. haha. ULTIMATE FOOSBALL. we played with EIGHT balls at one time i really don't know how janine and simon and derick managed to sleep with us screaming our heads off.
i think siewchi wanted to kill me because i kept blocking her shots (btw, we were on the same team. HAHA) PURELY by negligence i swear. i cannot concentrate on both handsss la haha but omg she is how good a defender/goalie la. we traded places for about 50 seconds and then both screamed oh gosh we cannot do this and then went back to defender/goalie and striker respectively (i surrendered midfield to stephanie, gladly. thank goodness heehee).
the kicker was when ben stopped poolsharking (do guys play that much pool? they were so good!) and came over to see why we were going mad. "mm? why are there two balls?" and we all collapsed laughing. he obviously didn't see when there were EIGHT. we flooded the goals with so many balls that in the end they all got stuck in the chute; looking for them, yiming said "i can't find the balls!"
siewchi: "they're in the hole."
yiming: "what hole?? I can't find the hole-- OHHH this hole. *rummages around* oh my god it's so deep. i feel like a gynaecologist."
me: "congratulations it's a ball!"
i felt quite sad when we were leaving for the last time-- no more restricted access :( but eurgh at least no more complete and utterly embarrassing zzz moments. because of this internship i have become the perfect candidate for ns, apparently, because i can fall asleep anywhere anytime. I SWEAR it's temporary narcolepsy. i don't even know i'm asleep! people can come up to me and say omg you slept through the whole thing and i'm like HMM?? I DIDN'T!........ well i didn't think so for this week at least, but last week ah. eeeps. haha. i blame it on folding silly paper flowers for my silly 21st-- 3 hours of sleep a night just didn't suffice eeeps. having to deal with sudden exchange issues did not help either. age really shows-- thinking back to jc days i'm pretty sure i slept 3 hours a day for an entire week while dealing with scripts for dramafeste (a confused and convoluted effort borne out of extreme sleep deprivation that, for some reason, actually got alfian sa'at's stamp of approval. i applaud janice's directing for that) and DEFINITELY did not doze off for hours during the day. i think.
anyway birthday was fun and i'm really glad for everyone who showed up or sent well wishes :) i think it's just too much to blog about at this time (it's 4.41am on saturday morning), but anyway random stuff: no best hula dancer since no one wanted to dance and i felt bad for trying to put people on the spot (i could SO empathise, since this was like minutes after the whole bday dance thing), so all the prizes got consolidated into best-dressed heh. our secret internal voting process by the way consists of me canvassing opinions from my siblings and jia ning and of course a healthy dose of self-discretion hahaha.
best-dressed female
weina! lovely blue lei with an artfully contrasted orange rosette in her hair, PLUS the effort that went into making the grass miniskirt! although she didn't wear it in the end haha :P ok la she was the official best dressed female, but thomas shared the limelight since he'd been so sporting about the hula dance thing and HAHAHA he er epitomised the island girl.
thanks to krystal for photos!
best-dressed male
liren haha. unanimous decision. i suspect it was the pineapple-- should win for best-accessory too haha seriously if he'd taken public transport...!!!
best-dressed group
hc051 and the freak. haha. too bad this wasn't an official category or they'd have won hands down. :)
most valiant award
my pubbers! or whoever's here yikes. i really think they felt kind of awkward eeeps :( never mind! the next pubco outing hehe.
nicest person, EVER
jin. i cannot believe she went to so much effort and haha damnit the only pic i have of her and her alone is an unglam one. so i won't post it. but she dressed up! :) and i really did find her name in almost every present. i feel so bad-- she's an awesome friend :) smudge ftw~ haha even if i DO have to agree that JJ's designs leave something to be desired. stick to singing, JJ. :P
most unexpected arrivals
i was STUNNED when huabin and sn showed up. i really didn't expect them to come! but it was good to see them haha it's been ages i still rmb robbing sn of his home econs sewing kit and teasing corine abt hb WHOOPS. ok shutting up. haha and of course the rest of the dhs people :)next one up!
ellen's! not an award per se, but the next party for a blast may baby right (unless karen has also!) also one of the sweetest couples i know heehee. yay looking forward to it because i really didn't have a chance to talk to anyone very much at all haha eh attend parties can slack. host the party must do annoying stuff. jiayou ellen!
most "surprising" present
"blue roses". "surprising" cos teri let it out of the bag-- box? wrapper? hahaha :D really uber sweet of you guys!! can't take pictures of it since my camera is with my dad in an altogether different timezone and my phone is whacked as usual. stupid sony ericsson.
the ones i have to thank for my studiowu package and offers of breakdancing lessons
:D raggers! seems like only months ago that we were desperately practising our heads off in the moot court, or sweating profusely in that tiny practice room.
people who made the night a blast
would totally not have been nearly as fun without them! these people rock my socks many many :D <3! and everyone adores the dress wheee. PLUS i get to add another cap to my er... burgeoning... collection. note to self: time to buy a bigger cupboard or grow a smaller head. [actually tt wouldn't work since most caps are just adjustable but all the same size still. oh well. maybe i should just get rid of the sunhats]
loveliest extended (sort of) family, complete with cute cousin who's trying to hide away!
the amount of effort they put in-- oh my gosh. my aunts are frickin' awesome. fruit salad and vegetable dumplings and tapioca-- thing (haha whoops)-- ALL their doing! NOT caterer's. so actually the catered food was only so so and the goodies were all homemade with love :)
creature love!
love, forever and a day.
people whom i want to annoy me forever
HEE. damnit i can't find a pic with mum and dad too. but they're wonderful and i really really appreciate everything they went through-- especially my mum who apparently had to deal with a LOT of crap behind the scenes which i didn't know about but could guess at, sort of-- not exactly tension-free, that night. but AH no negativity *zips mouth*.
ok la i can't put all the photos eurgh because basically i DON'T have all the photos since my camera went MIA from about 5 to 9ish pm that day so i have v little pics :(. irritating! but i shall gather more pics and MAYBE i might have a very belated post with proper pictures eventually.
had bday-and-going-away supper with family after ayg prac on monday, since dad's flight the next day was at 2 and only mum could have gone to send him off (ACTUALLY i could have snuck out of work, because if my memory serves me rightly we spent tuesday on a court tour and 5 minutes of hearings and TEA AND KARAOKE the rest of the time. like whuuuuttt.). since they'd been fairly insistent on giving me a bday present i tried to strategise in wheedling my present from them-- and a pretty good strategy i thought it was, too! i refused the offer of a camera they'd proffered, so they asked what i wanted, sooo i replied with something completely ludicrous: "plastic surgery. i want to fly to bangkok and do."
obviously they thought i was mad. THEN i asked for the real one: a blue rose tattoo.
you'd think it'd work right! ask for some ridiculously impossible then something sensible in comparison and they'd probably think wah not so bad ok can give. no, it didn't. my dad offered to buy me more temporary tattoos instead.
-_____- but you do have to laugh, though. their reactions.........
alright, too much too much. i'l truncate the rest of this post and save it as draft or smth eurgh off to read gaskell. more updates next time i can't keep up anymore.

unappreciative best friend. HUMPHS.
