5:52 pm

Okay, so, I don't have much to post about, So, I shall post about TEACHER RIVALRIES!! Rivalry sounds like Rivali, which is my, beautiful, unique, wonderful name...

Anyhoo, back to Teacher Rivalries...
A surprising number of them have sprung up in recent months. Teachers vs. Teachers, Teachers vs. Students, Teachers vs. Ex-teachers, etc..

Mrs. Ng Mui Eng vs. Mrs. Gina Thomsett
Status: Ongoing
Due to: Vast differences which can never be overcome
Origin: It was *obvious*

Okay, rumours sort of started surfacing after we had a few lessons with Mrs Ng this year. They were like, total polar opposites. I mean, one is tall, one is..er.. not-so-tall? One is commonly heard saying- "No response? Okay.. Shall I move on? You don't wanna learn? Fine - don't learn." and the other insists that we pay attention to her. One supposedly *hates* Sarah (she said she didn't and we believe her, but, anyways, for the sake of it..), and one loved Sarah. And, of course, the reason you all have heard before ->

Mrs. Thomsett : "Romeo and Juliet got married for pure love!"
Mrs. Ng: " Romeo and Juliet got married for sex!!"
Mrs. Thomsett: ".....And, after that they er-ermmm..er.... consummated their marriage.
Mrs. Ng: "And, Juliet's parents were rather ignorant of her personal life. They thought she was sleeping, but actually she was....
[looks around expectantly]
.. she was? what girls? *rolls eyes* SHE WAS WITH ROMEO!! MUAAAHHAHAHA... [laughs maniacally]

[warning: some things may be *slightly* exaggerated]

Mrs. Thomsett: I was offered a job in an even more prestigious institution, but I didn't accept it, because there was a lady working there whom I didn't get along with...

[ Mrs. Thomsett and Mrs. Ng apparently both worked in Nanyang Girls' High..]

Mrs. Ng: What did your previous Lit. teacher teach you??? Who was she??
2e: Mrs. Thomsett....
Mrs. Ng: [Raises eyebrows] Oh.

So, wat do you people think? Will there be a catfight? An ultimate showdown? If there is, who will win?.. Who will you support? The choice in YOUR hands... By choice, I mean, irritating them and making false rumours... muahaha....


Mrs. Shireen Pandian vs. Mr. Melvin Seow

Status: Ongoing
Due to: MEERA RAJAH (=P...Not really, lah..it started cuz of the remedial lessons..)
Origin: Various mean things they said about each other, which caused students to start gossiping.

How did this one start? Immaturity of the parties involved. Yep, thats it. Seow gives us extra history lessons. He tells Mrs. Janice Gan and Mrs. Pandian (the other two sec. 2 history teachers) that the girls they teach are welcome to come. Janice Gan and Pandian refuse to even tell their students about the class. Some of their students turn up in the extra class anyway.

Meera and frenz: Mrs. Pandian, do you know that Mr. Seow said not to study 'Developments in Asia' for the history exam?
Mrs. Pandian: [getting angry] Do NOT listen to ANYTHING THAT STUPID MAN SAYS!!!!! [btw, he was telling the truth.]

Meera: Mr. Seow, do you know that Mrs. Pandian doesn't like you?
Mr. Seow: No.
Meera: She said that [imitating Pandian's voice] "DON'T LISTEN TO ANYTHING THAT STUPID MAN SAYS!!!!"
Mr. Seow: Yes, I ...err.. am aware of that.
Meera: Haha. she really hates you!
Mr. Seow: [No comment]

However, apparently, when it comes to complaining about Meera Rajah, Seow and Pandian are in cahoots..
Mr. Seow complained to Mrs. Pandian about Meera, and Pandian scolded her.. This has occured repeatedly, resulting in a very pissed off Meera.

Imagine....... Pandian commanding a fleet of battle ships. Advancing towards Seow, whose standing at the head of an army of tanks. He has a weird Japanese moustache. Pandian's wearing a turban. She approaches.. Her eyes narrow. His eyes narrow... Then.....

MEERA RAJAH DROPS AN ATOMIC BOMB ON THEM.....MWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA...

Sorry.... They're both nice pple and I have no wish for them to die.

Mr. Melvin Seow and Mrs. Shireen Pandian vs. Meera Rajah

Status: Ended (unless Meera gets both of them as her teachers next year)
Due to: Their immense hatred of 'innocent' Meera.
Origin: It was obvious.

As I mentioned above, the two big bad evil teachers ganged up on this poor, innocent, little, harmless schoolgirl. (According to Meera.)

ps: I have a ....vague.... feeling that Meera wasn't the poor and innocent person.

p/ps: he made meera cry. HE MADE MEERA CRY.... TWICE!!!

Ms. Melina Cheah vs. Amrit Kaur

Status: Ongoing
Due to: False assumptions, and rudeness on the part of both parties involved. (doesn't that sound professional?)
Origin: ?

Okay, this one...

Amrit and me have a joint account on msn. One day, someone spoke to Ms. Cheah from that account, and kept on asking her if she thought that the person was hot..

It was not me. I swear.

So, the assumption was, its Amrit. But Amrit said she didn't do it either. So, logical explanation - Either me, or Amrit is lying. But I'm telling the truth... Or, we must have left the account open on one of the library computers, and someone must have used it.
Then, one Saturday night, Amrit got a call from someone who kept on saying 'Melinaaa....' So, she asked Ms. Cheah about it on msn..

[eac - Amrit
Weekend AT LAST! - Ms. Cheah]

eac says:
hey ms cheah...could i ask you something...?

Weekend AT LAST! says:
what prank u want to pull on me now?

eac says:
did you call my home last nmight?
eac says:
night

Weekend AT LAST! says:
what are u talking abt?
Weekend AT LAST! says:
i don't even have ur nuber
Weekend AT LAST! says:
number

eac says:
because somebody was callin alot and said that his name was melinah..is that how u spell ur name...and yup and it was like a lot of times btw...
eac says:
just asking...nvm

Weekend AT LAST! says:
no
Weekend AT LAST! says:
its not me, i am not as stupid as u think'
Weekend AT LAST! says:
and u haven't even apologized to me for pretending to be someone "HOT"

eac says:
yup...rivali told me...and that wasnt me ...if u want to think so that its fime

Weekend AT LAST! says:
STOP all this nonsense of yours. I have no time for u. No use being an excellent student with good grades when u don't know how to behave yourself.
Weekend AT LAST! says:
who else can it be if not u? Weekend AT LAST! says: only the 2 of u knew the password to the account u both set up

eac says:
sorry ms cheah i only brought this up because my mum is angry that we are getting random calls so thats the only reason i actuallyt bothered to initiate this conversation....as for the account thing it was not me and i do not know who it is and i wish you would be more mature about this but you dont seem to be able todo so....and i am quite surprised at your rudeness to me because i havenot done
eac says:
anything to you
eac says:
so yup...i will let you know when i do get more calls...as for now bye

Weekend AT LAST! says:
rivali told me it was u
Weekend AT LAST! says:
i suggest u stop calling her, disturbing her concentration for the exams
Weekend AT LAST! says:
she has been telling me what u have been doing

eac says:
well...different people view it differently and i have not had the intention of disturbing her..and my u did show your true colours today ms cheah...bye..i am sorry i am going to have to block you



And Amrit blocked her..
I was totally laughing actually, when I first read this.. Then I got quite VERY pissed off that I was dragged into the whole thing and pinpointed like that....
Oh well, I don't think this will ever be sorted out cuz Amrit's still blocking Ms. Cheah.
-----

So, a long long time ago, Esther and me were discussing detention..
Rivali: Eh, why did we go detention last year ah? We never did anything what!
Esther: Yah, we're innocent lor!
Rivali: Thats why, lah! We never wrote any swear word on the board!
Esther: Yeah, it wasn't our fault! Sarah did it lor!
Rivali: Yeah, she forced us to write it! Sarah's fault, you know!
Esther: Yah, stupid people book us, never book her!
Rivali: Tsk tsk... MGS is soo corrupt..
Esther: I know! We should protest.
Rivali: We should kill them.

Amrit: [looks at us weirdly]
Rivali: (explaining to Amrit) You are now witnessing an advanced form of self-denial.

[ps: Sarah wants me to clarify that she did NOT do it. Nor did she force Esty and I to write it. In fact she herself got booked for not booking us. Thank you and goodbye.]
The above paragraph was written by Sarah. : D



Went out with Ravleen on Friday. We had so much fun!! Hahah, we went crazy and took 2 sets of neoprints.. I shall post them here when the bloody scanner starts working again..

Yeah, and Elizabeth, we're sorry we didn't invite you along. Maybe it was because we kinda hate you, you know? I am sure you'll understand..

Yeah, but we drew you into one neoprint! I'll post it here later
.

Yeah, then Rav and I bumped into Meera, Su-lyn, Ruth, Nat and Shien Fen in Fareast. (erm.. I dunno Shien Fen,so i think i spelt her name wrongly...lol)
Yeah, and su-lyn was like, holding this candy drop thing..


Rivali: Hello, Su-lyn, meet Ravleen. Ravleen, I hate Su-lyn because she's so tall...
Ravleen: Heyy..
Su-lyn: Hello, Ravleen. I'm tall.
Rivali:Shut up..
Ravleen: [gives Su-lyn a weird look. Ravleen's facial expression and body movements suggest that she is rather freaked out.]
Su-lyn: Hey Rivali, you wanna try this candy drop?
[Nat, Ruth, Meera, Su-lyn and Shien Fen give each other evil looks.]
Rivali: Er... maybe not?
Su-lyn: Try it, its nice.
Nat: Yeah, totally!
Su-lyn: So, Rivali, you want? [moves closer to me. I take a step back.]
Rivali: Errr...
Su-lyn: Its how ******* thinks Mr. Seow will taste.... (the girl's name is censored cuz she'll kill me if i publish it)
Rivali: Aaargh! No! EEEEWW.
Su-lyn: [discards her evil look] Hahah, come on, its really nice lah! It sour.. like warheads.. I was joking about the Seow part.
Rivali: Err.. Okay.....? Hey, its quite nice.. I love sour stuff!
Su-lyn: Ooooh, now we know who you like!
Rivali: Go and die!!! @#$$%^&%#% Meera's the one in love with him![takes a step menacingly towards Su-lyn.]
Meera: I am NOT. He's so horrible. He hates me okay! I really think that- [starts talking too fast for people to understand her]
Ravleen:[looks around for an escape route; clearly trying not to associate herself with us.]
-------

Amrit's Brother: Haha, I got 263 in my PSLE! Higher that you!
Amrit: Rivali got 265.
Amrit's Brother: Rivali looks.... dumb.
Amrit: F you.

------

Oh well, look how *greatly* I'm doing in my studies right now... sigh.. PSLE.... those were the good ol' days..

By the way, I started this post before the exams, so its really really outdated.


Rivali

PS: RAVLEEEEEEN!!! Did u get the message I left on your phone? I'm so sorry!! :D Call u when I get back to Singapore.. on the 7th of December.. I'm overseas now. :DDD

YShe laughed. And laughed. And laughed yet again.;;

12:16 pm

Yesterday, I realised that I greet my readers in increasingly lame ways, so, today I shall start with the traditional moron greeting -

Flabajaba.(to which you should reply "Banana.")

Anyway, yesterday I promised to blog about a whole load of things, which I shall do now,even though I was thinking about posting some quotes. :D

Alyssa's Birthday Party

This was on Saturday. For those of you who don't know, Alyssa's Sam and Ashwin's younger sister. Sam (15 yrs) and Ash (11 yrs) are one of my closest friends. Alyssa's six years old, so all the little kiddies were there.

And us older ones were helping out with the stalls, since it was like a 'carnival' theme. I was in charge of face painting. :D


It was damn funny!

Sam: Balloons
Ashwin: Popcorn
Vik: Hoopla
Me: Face Painting
Aditi (my sis): Tattoos
Mohsehn: Ping Pong Balls
Sasha: Origami
Karthik: Pyramid of Cans


So, any party has to have music right? So, since there were little kids, Sam decided to play the High School Musical soundtrack.

Sasha: Eurgh! High School Musical?? Can I attach my mp3 to the stereo? I have nicer music..
Sam: No!
Rivali: Oh, come on. High School Musical gets boring. And its not like the little kids have brains to recognise the music or anything.
Sam: No! Nonononono.. [walks off]

Sasha and I looked at each other. Then, we looked at Sam, whose back was turned. Sasha ran and attached her mp3 to the stereo anyway..

MUAHAHA

Guess what the first song was? Sexyback by Justin Timberlake! Woohoo..



Stereo: Dirty babe, you see these shackles? Baby I'm your slave. I'll let you whip me if I misbehave. Its just that-
Sam: Oi!! [Runs towards us, and violently rips Sasha's mp3 off.]
Rivali: Heyy! Since when did you become responsible?
Sam: Stop it! [walks off]
Sasha: You want to see clips of Brokeback Mountain on youtube?
Rivali: Okay!
[we skip off]
-------

Ashwin: [giving out popcorn] (In a very sweet, innocent voice)Do you want a cup of popcorn? Here you go!
Little girl 1: Can I have popcorn too?
Ashwin: Of course!
Little girl 2: I want popcorn also!
Ashwin: Sure! There you go!
[The little girls skip off happily]
Ashwin: [turning to me] Can't those damn kids get lost?


Anyway, after 2hours + of manning the stalls, all of us older ones decided to do our own stuff. (surf youtube, wrestle while jumping on the bouncy castle, etc)
So, yeah. Then the little children went home, and we all hung out in Sam's room.


Bowling with Friends

After lunching at the American Club, I took a cab to this plaza opposite Great World. We were supposed to bowl at Kim Seng Starbowl or something.
But when I reached there, Salad said that it was closed, and they all started laughing.
So, then we went to the Chevrons by taxi. The taxi driver was SUPER weird okay!!


None of the taxis agreed to take the five of us + Hui Ling's bowling balls together. Then finally this one taxi driver agreed to take us, if we paid him $2 more. So Char, Lala, Salad and me rushed to the back and forced Hui Ling to sit in the front. Muahaha..

Then, only Hui Ling sort of knew the way. Even the taxi driver didn't know. So Hui Ling called her dad to ask for directions or something. Then, it was super confusing - I think the taxi driver couldn't understand Hui Ling's directions, so he asked to speak directly to her dad. But Hui Ling was like - "NO."

So, the taxi driver was talking alot, but it was Chinese, so I didn't understand much. Then he said something about Bush coming to Singapore. Then Salad said smth to him in Chinese. All I heard were the words "Saddam" and then I saw Salad pointing at me.
-____-
Apparently she told the guy I was Saddam's bloody gf or something. I feel like strangling Salad right now.
Then the guy said something which I vaguely recognised.
[Flashback: Teo Lee Lee pointing at me during Chinese lessons and barking at me in Chinese. Something something 'in tuo ren' or something. I think it meant Indian.


BTW, I still don't get why Teo Lee Lee screamed at me in Chinese. Its not like I could understand right?? And I'm sure she could tell from my skin colour and the fact that I don't appear in her classes. Pffft. ]

Later Salad told me that the guy said "No, She's Indian what!"

Hahaha..
Then alot of Chinese conversation. Then, suddenly he starts singing Chinese Opera!! ZOMG. His voice was quite good, but it was so funny, all of us burst out laughing. Salad kept on hitting me. Char was gasping for air. Even Lala, who's quite reserved compared to alot of gals in 2e was like hysterical. And he kept on singing!!

Then he was telling us about how his name was Wee Bee Kwee or something, and Wee Kim Wee was his cousin. Then donno wat something about a shopping mall named after his wife..

Well, we arrived at the Chevrons in one piece.

Then we went bowling. We were joined by some of Char and Lala's church friends. There was some guy called Dom. At first I thought he was Charlene's brother. She really freaked out when I asked her about it.

Hahaha.. So, Salad went and entered our names. Yes, I know, a very bad decision. She totally screwed up our names!!! *feels like strangling Salad once again* But it was quite funny..

Sarah: [typing in weird names]
Hui Ling: Damn you Salad. Don't you dare enter my name or I will kill you. You watch out okay.
Sarah: [Thinks better of pissing Hui Ling off. She types Hui Ling's names properly]


Then, for me, she typed - "Saddam"
Larisa - Larisa (We wanted her to type Larry or Lala, but she didn't. Prefects... *shakes head*)
Charlene - Chaaaaaarrrrrleeeeeene (Poor Char)


Then, when she was typing her own name, I jumped on her and tried to type rubbish. So, in the end, it came out as 'Sal.' But she changed it back to 'Salad.'

Then Char and Lala's friends were quite shocked to see that there was someone called 'Saddam.'

Then we played two games... Salad got three strikes in a row in the second game! Yes, the same Salad who had knelt down and pushed the bowling ball towards the pins once in the first game.

Yeah, then we went home.

Sorry, I feel so lazy to blog..

But first, I stole this quiz thing from Salad's blog.

That's nice.

Hey people.

You know my Dad's a Pilot with Iberian Airlines, right? Guess where he is RIGHT now?
In the middle of the Kalahari Desert!!

I swear I'm not lying. Cuz, he flies passengers as well as cargo. So he flew a shipment of 15- 20 BMWs from Luxembourg(Europe) to Johannesburg in Africa last night. And these BMWs are driven to the Kalahari Desert to test their engine endurance as well as the endurance of their coats of paint.
So, when my Dad heard that, he and his good friend and co-pilot Ryan decided to rent a car and take a two-hour drive there. To see the desert, and some waterfall nearby.

So, i still haven't figured out how a waterfall and a desert can be in such close proximity, but I bet there's some sciency answer to that, , and I am currently regretting take Geog Elective next year.

[On the phone]
Dad: Ryan and me are going to the Kalahari desert!!
Mum: [Calmly eating a salad. Upon hearing the news starts choking.
Dad: Hey! are you okay?
Mum: Kalahari Desert??? Why don't you er... just stay in the hotel, you know?
Dad: No, I'm bored. We're going tomorrow... haha..
Mum: Oh, ok. How's the weather?
Dad: Quite bad! [starts laughing]
Mum: THEN WHY IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DRIVING TO THE KALAHARI DESERT???


So, Im in the American Club now. Had lunch with a couple of friends. I'll update on that tomorrow. And yesterday, I went to Sam's house to help with his little sister's birthday carnival.

That was hilarious too!

Rivali+ Moronic Friends + Innocent little children = Corrupted, Evil little children who destroy everything in their path.

I'll blog about that tomorrow too. :D

Gotta go meet Salad, Char, Lala and Hui Ling for Bowling now.. I'll update on that tomorrow too.. when it has, you know, already happened...
I'm late now.
Bye!

2:02 pm

Greetings.

I am so boreddd...

Yesterday, I went to Su-lyn's house. Played tennis there with Su-lyn and Ms.Cheah.

Su-lyn has a reddish-black tennis racket. It looks quite evil, especially when combined with her look of immense concentration while playing tennis, as she narrows her eyes, and hits the ball.
So, she painted her nails black, and it really matched her racket.


Su-lyn: Like ma' nailss? Like ma' nailsss??
Rivali: Hey cool! They match your racket!

2 mins later:
Su-lyn: Like ma' nailss? Like ma' nailsss?
Rivali: Yeah, but we're in the middle of tennis...
Su-lyn: Like ma' nailss? Like ma' nailsss??
Rivali:[calmly] If you don't shut up, I shall bash your head with my tennis racket.


For most of it, Su-lyn and I paired up against Ms. Cheah. Su-lyn was trying to hook Ms. Cheah up with her tennis coach who was playing in the court next to us. Sadly, we didn't succeed, as Ms. Cheah is still seeing Mr. Ong.

Ms. Cheah: (holding my racket) Hey, is your racket new?
Rivali: Er...no. Its two months old.
Su-lyn: Thats considered new.
Rivali: -___-


Ms. Cheah: Su-lyn, your racket's so light! What is it made of?
Su-lyn: Er....
Ms. Cheah: Graphite?
Rivali: Aluminium.
Ms. Cheah: (holds the racket close to her face to see it better)
Rivali: (reaches up to smash the racket into her face)
Ms. Cheah: (jumps back and tries to hit me with the racket.)


Su-lyn: Have you had enough of tennis?
Ms. Cheah: Yeah.
Su-lyn: Have you had enough of tennis?
Ms. Cheah: Yeah.
Su-lyn: Have you had enough of tennis?
Ms. Cheah: Yeah.
Rivali: Have you had enough of Mr. Ong?
Ms. Cheah: No.. yes.. I mean.. OI!!!



We played tennis until 8 o' clock, then went to Su-lyn's house for dinner.
Su-lyn's mom joined us for dinner, and she was telling us about how Su-lyn wasn't allowed to start doing Higher Chinese in Sec 3 because her average for Chinese in 2006 was 68 or something.

The cut-off point was 70. What the hell?? Its TWO freakin' marks. And in her final exam, she got like 74 or 745.

And I heard someone say that in the whole level, only 7 people got above 70% for EOYS. So what, only those 7 girls continue doing higher chinese ah? No right? I'm sure there was a leeway, why shouldn't it extend to someone who's really interested in the subject. And its not like Su-lyn's african or hawaiian, she's Chinese, let her do Chinese lah.

Sighh.. And, on a totally different note,

HELP ME!!

My mom said she was going to get me a present.

She asked me to choose between -


a) A new phone
-You see, my old phone just got spoilt. -____- I don't even know what happened to it. The old phone didn't have a camera or anything, but my mum says that the new phone shall have a camera, a video and voice recorder, maybe mp3, etc,etc..


b) A new phone and a guitar.
I'm sure you know what a guitar is. But if I opt for this choice, the phone I'll get won't have any camera option or anything that I mentioned above.


VOTE IN THE POLL TO HELP ME DECIDE!!!

PLEASE.

Rivali

12:03 pm

Sighhh..
Yesterday, I finished reading Fahrenheit 451. Its a damn nice book, but I *think* I'm gonna die cuz we're doing the book for Literature.

Favourite Character: Clarise McClellan

Least Favourite Character: Mildred Montag [Suicidal, superficial, tv-addicted, shallow, stupid b****!!]
Sorry, I just cringed everytime she appeared in the book.

And the book was really nice, I couldn't put it down while I was reading it, and Sam and Melissa were freaked out cuz instead of swimming and playing computer with them at the Polo Club yesterday, I was reading the book.

*Rivali transforms into a geek*

Anyway, I did not act like a geek later when we went to Farid and Shezad's house. We watched 'Meet the Parents,' and then watched 'The Terminal.' Ashwin and I fell asleep while watching the latter. Not my fault okay! I was tired from all that.... that.... actually what did I do yesterday??
Sigh... other then going to the gym in the morning I didn't do anything yesterday which was productive, except finishing that book.

Fahrenheit 451.

TKAM was......nicer.
But, then, if I really want to think about it, when I read To Kill A Mockingbird in the December holidays 2005, I was quite indifferent to it. You know, like -
"Hey, nice book. I can't imagine doing it for Lit next year though. Sigh, maybe I'll just sleep in class during literature lessons. Bob Ewell can kill the whole bunch of them. Whatever."


Then, now, at the end of 2006, I really like the book, and I know I enjoyed doing it for Lit.
And, I did NOT sleep in Lit classes this year. I looked forward to them.Lit is now my favourite subject. I was also the Lit rep.

Kinda different from last year, where I despised Literature. I used to draw/ read books/ sleep/ make fun of Romeo and Juliet/ irritate Shu Wei/ chatter with Tricia/ make up poems about various teachers/ try to invent a sign language where I could communicate with Amrit in class without the teachers knowing/ eat sweets with the people who sat around me, supplied by _______/ Throw stapler bullets at people I disliked, etc.

And this year, I was Lit Rep. :D Big change. Haha.. I like the new responsible me. The new responsible me shall now stop blogging and go surf youtube.

Goodbye.

1:44 pm

Okay, this post is REALLY outdated (again) but I can't rest without blogging about going to Orchard with Sarah and Xiao Hui.

There.

I didn't call them "Salad" and "Rabbit."


So, we were just super retarded that day. I mean, when I reached Fareast Plaza, I called Salad and asked her where she and Xiao were....

Rivali: Salad! Where are you??
Sarah:Err.. Xiao's buying some food! We're near this shop..
Rivali: What shop?
Xiao: Er.. Mango... Lingo...
Rivali: Mango Lingo???
Sarah: Yahhh.....Where are you ??
Rivali: I just entered Fareast.
Sarah: Are you near "Busstop" ? (Its a shop's name)
Rivali: No! Why should I be there? (thinking she's talking about a busstop.) I'm walking past Esther's shop....
Xiao: Huh? Esther's shop?
Rivali:The bikini and lingerie one.
Sarah: Whaattt??? Okay! We're outside shop number 01-04!
Rivali: Aiyah, nevermind, I'll look for you!

So, I finally found them, and we spent a couple of minutes talking rubbish. Then, we went for lunch at Long John Silvers'. Xiao bought her food and went to sit down. Sarah and I pretended to be people from China, who couldn't speak proper English. I know I'm Indian, but.. whatever.. It was still fun. :D

It was even better cuz the girl at the counter was Malay, so I don't think she realized when I said "Ching chang chong chang" instead of spoke Chinese. Wahahaha.

Rivali: Cann ai haf de "Sheecken Lap"? [Can I have the chicken wrap]
Girl at the Counter:Okay... The meal or just the wrap?
Rivali: Sohly? [Sorry?]
Girl at the Counter: Would you like to have the chicken wrap meal or just the chicken wrap?
Rivali: De mil..... But cann ai nut haf the sooft dlink? [The meal... But can I not have the soft drink?]
Girl at the Counter: Okay, but you'll have to pay the same amount anyway.
Rivali, to Sarah: (whispering) WTH??
Sarah, to me: Just take the drink.
Rivali: Okayee, cann ai haff de dlink zen? [Okay, can I have the drink then?]
Girl at the Counter: Yeah.



Rivali: I wood like to ordar for me flend. [points at Sarah] [I would like to order for my friend.]
Rivali, to Sarah: How do you say "Do you want a chicken or fish" and "Do you want the meal or it just plain" in Chinese?
Sarah: Er....er...
Rivali: DO YOU SPEAK CHINESE???
Sarah: Yes, I just....dunno... how to say Fish meal in chinese!! But "Ni yao" means "do you want."
Rivali: Okay... [turns back to Girl at the Counter]

Girl at the Counter, to Sarah: What will you be having, ma'am?
Sarah: [mutters Chinese words]

Rivali: See wod wanta Fiss Lap. [She would want a fish wrap.]
Girl at the Counter: Excuse me??
Rivali: See wood WANTA FEEESSSS LAP.[points to the fish wrap.]
Girl at the Counter: Would she want a meal?
Rivali, to Sarah: Ni yao meal?
Sarah: [Says something in Chinese]
Rivali, to Sarah: Ching chang chong chang!
Rivali: [turning back to Girl at the Counter]Yes, see wood.[Yes, she would.]

That was a detailed explanation of exactly what we did to the poor person. When we joined Xiao at the table, we were laughing like hell.

Xiao: Why are you laughing? [starts laughing]
Sarah: We pretended to be China people when ordering our food!
Xiao: [Stops laughing; confused, exasperated look appears on face.]
Rivali: Yeah! Like, see wood wanta FEEESSS LAPP!
Sarah: Wahaha! [says something in Chinese.]
[At this points of time, Sarah and Rivali are laughing like maniacs, while Xiao Hui looks for an escape route.]
Xiao: You are really mad, you know. You both are retarded.(shakes her head.)

Then, we were talking about school and everything, when we suddenly realized that we didn't pass up the subject option forms.

YES, THE FORMS, WHICH INDICATED WHAT SUBJECT COMBINATION WE WANTED TO TAKE!!

We were all super worried, because we thought that everyone had passed it up except for the 3 of us, cuz we hadn't been in class.

So, Xiao suggested asking Mr. Seow, and we did. [We were all really agitated okay! What if they put me in some weird combo, like MEP and half Art, or smth?? And dear Salad would die without beloved Geography you know!]

So, Xiao and I wanted Sarah to talk, but she didn't want to, so the three of us were like wrestling with Salad's phone, until she yelled - "IT'S RINGING!!" and shoved it towards me. So I spoke.

Mr. Seow: Hello, who is this?
Rivali: Sarah, Xiao Hui and Rivali.
Mr. Seow: But, who is talking?
Rivali: Rivali.
Mr. Seow: Then say "Rivali" lah!
Rivali: Er,...... rivali?

So then, we asked him about the Subject Combi thing, and he said he had not collected it.

Xiao: Oh, okay! Then I can throw it away!
Mr. Seow: No! Don't throw it away! Its important.
Sarah: Then why didn't he collect it?
Mr. Seow: I spoke to the HOD, and she said its important but..
The 3 of us: ????
Mr. Seow: Are you girls in school?
Rivali: No, we're at orchard.
Mr. Seow: ....... oh.


Yeah, so If I get into any weird subject combinations...
*narrows eyes menacingly, while sharpening knife.*

Then, we went for our haircut.

This is how I looked before the haircut..



Joking. Duh.



Yeah.. That was before.

From left to right - Salad, Me, Xiao.

Salad totally transformed! She looked really nice with layered hair. And when Xiao and I told her she looked nice, she started blushing.
And Xiao looks really cute right! After coming out of the salon, she said "The hairdresser said I looked like a baby." then she started laughing. But I disagree with the hairdresser. SERIOUSLY. Remember last year when Xiao had short hair? Yeah, she looked like that.. And I was thinking about how life would be if we all 'morphed' back to 2005 and started living through 1D and then 2e again.

So, we walked around buying accessories for our hair. I bought this really nice clip. No, it was not black, and it did not have the word "Death" emblazoned across it. It was a sunny yellow in colour, and had an orange flower on it.
And, right now, I'm waiting until I finally get the courage to but something yellow to match the clip.

Joking. Really. I have a colourful wardrobe, but two years ago, it was waaay different. When I was in p6, I had like, 6 pairs of jeans (the only things I agreed to wear)and a couple of other dark-coloured pants. My t-shirts were like, all either black, brown or a blood-red. But then, I discovered that there were many other colours which suited me - silky green, bordeaux and russet especially. Actually, bordeaux is a maroonish, blood-red, so whatever..

Anyway,while we were scouting around for accessories, we saw a shop. You know 'Esther's shop?' [mentioned above] Its called 'Sheer Romance.' Its a lingerie shop. We saw another one on the second level. Then, right, at that exact moment, I saw this feeble old man hobbling past the shop. So, suddenly this image came into my head, where Salad, Xiao and I pushed the old man into the lingerie shop, and ran away, laughing evilly as he crashed into a rack of bikinis.

Okay, that was mean, but I found it really funny, so I started laughing. Then, Sarah and Xiao Hui asked me what had happened. I was going to tell them, but then I started laughing before I could say anything.

Sarah and Xiao: Riv, why are you laughing?
Rivali: Because.. because... *starts laughing*

Sarah and Xiao: Er... Rivali?
Rivali: *laughing*
Sarah and Xiao: Oi! Are you okay?
Rivali: No, I was just thinking that- that *starts laughing*

That continued for almost 2-3 minutes...
Yeah, then we walked around, and Salad tried putting some weird yellow and pink clips in my hair... Sighhhh.... Dear dear Salad. Dear Spastic, smart, Salad.
I'm talking to her on the phone now...
She's saying - "Vali...Vaaaaleeeeeee..," etc. Maybe she thinks that's my real name.

RIvali


YShe laughed. And laughed. And laughed yet again.;;
