I'm finally back.
The flight home from switzerland was torturous.
first from Geneva to Frankfurt, which was alright

but the flight from Frankfurt to Bangkok took eons.
first of all, the frankfurter airport is anything but effcient.
by the time i was able to find my terminal, i realised that there was a huge queue before i could get to the gates.

we ended up waitng for many passengers which delayed the flight,
then it started to snow
which cause further dalay.

by the time i got to bangkok, my flight back to singapore had left.
i managed to get onto the next flight to singapore which was supposed to leave at 12:00 am but we started boarding only at 12:30 am. instead of arriving in singapore in the morning i arrived at close to four in the afternoon.

i did end up sitting between two wonderfully pleasant guys on the plane, who were worse off than me as they could only board their transient flights much much later that day.

important thing is that I AM BACK! :D

We have this task in school...
to write the 60th birthday speech that a friend gives during our birthday.
so this is what shaun wrote for me....
what he's gonna say on my 60th birthday.

First of all I would like to question one thing, how did this person manage
to reach 60? We all know what her habits were when we were younger. Just like
how people say women age like fine wine I think Zhang aged kinda like that but
with an unexpected zing to it. You know... Kinda like how oysters taste to you
when you first eat it. A funny taste that you try to get rid off at the start
right after daddy told you to try it, then you kinda puke it out and attempt to
use beverage to clean your tongue but after eating it for abit you start to
realise that it actually tastes pretty good then you’d come back for more. It’s
kinda always been like that. I think her husband would agree with me on
this.
I’ve known Zhang since we were like what. Youngsters I think. Back then
she was all tomboy and what not. If you guys met her then you would know she was
kinda the scary type of girl. You know when you were younger there’s always a
girl in class that you wouldn’t wanna piss off cause if you weren’t careful she
might actually bite you. Well... She never was too far away from that mark. We
were schoolmates in elementary school but I only truly got to know her when I
was 16. I remember pretty vividly, she was the first girl that had ever step
foot into my room. I was kinda the hygienic type back then so I didn’t like it
when people dirtied things I owned. She came into my room and sat on my bed. All
while I was on the computer, and then waved me a ‘hi’. Normally I’d get really
angry from the fact that she just sat on my bed, but due to utter shock I bade a
reflex hi. And that was about the first time we truly met. What a surprise visit
that was I still blame Wayne for it.
Like all weird things that has occurred
to her, this speech was prepared for this day when i was 20. Seriously, who
makes a person prepare for a speech almost 40 years in advance. You gotta know
someone like her was behind it.
We’ve not kept in touch constantly over the
years but it’s safe to say that even as such she still remains one of the best
friends I ever had. There is saying I’ve heard somewhere, that a strong
friendship is not based on the frequency of contact between two people but the
total lack of awkwardness when they meet after not seeing each other for a long
time.
I’ve known alot of crazy people in my life. Trust me when I say I know
alot of crazy people. I pretty much escaped from a mental institute myself.
Just take a look among you guys right now. For all those who’ve known her
for a long time. You’d have to have abit of crazy in you. Well, she was the
crazy that made the other crazies look mediocre, bite size even. But even then
she was and still is the crazy that I wouldn’t want absent in my life. Happy
60th birthday Zhang.

The bf and I just had a realistic gage of whether we're ready for marriage.
Yes... a little early, I know.

Our friend whom we met in school last semester is here.
His gf is in the same course as me but later than me by 1 semester.
he just causally mentioned that they might be getting married
around the end of next year

judging by the minor heart attack and uncomfortable silence it gave me and the bf...
nope we're definitely not getting married anytime soon.

omg..
am I at THAT AGE already??!?

the bf's friend has a son...
who calls him "uncle"

omg the bf is already an uncle.
which makes me AUNTIE.....

i wonder what char is.... wahahaha

i found this on a funny website...
this is the kinda of mother i envision char would turn into
well not exactly
but her face came to mind when i was reading this LOL

Dear Mrs. X:
In just over a week, you will be my son’s Grade 1 teacher.
He is ever so excited to be under your tutelage. Why, since the last day of
kindergarten, entering your class was all he could talk about. He gleefully
thrust a piece of paper into my hand on that June afternoon, and said, “Here’s a
list of the stuff I need for school next September!”
And I have to admit, I,
too, was excited. I’m a school supplies geek from way back. And so, in early
August, I set out to buy the items you’d listed.
It was on my fourth store
that the realization began to sink in.
You’re a crafty bitch, aren’t
you?
This list was a thinly disguised test. Could I find the items, exactly
as you’d prescribed? Because if not, my son would be That Kid, the one with the
Problem Mother, Who Can’t Follow Directions.
For example, the glue sticks you
requested. In the 40 gram size. Three of the little buggers. (What kind of
massive, sticky project you’ve got planned for the first day of school that
would require the students to bring all this glue, I cannot imagine.) But the 40
gram size doesn’t come in a convenient 3-pack. The /30 /gram size does. But
clearly, those would be wildly inappropriate. So I got the individually priced
40’s, as per your instructions.
Another bit of fun was your request for 2
packs of 8 Crayola crayons (basic colors). The 24 packs, with their 24
/different /colors, sat there, on sale. I could have purchased /three/ of the 24
packs for the price I had to pay for the 8 packs. (Clearly, you’ll not be
teaching the youngsters any sort of economics lessons this year.) Even the
cashier looked at me, as if to say, “Pardon me, ma’am, but are you slow?” as I
purchased these non-bargain crayons. But that’s what the list said. And I was
committed to following the list.
But the last item, well, now, you saved your
malice up for that one, didn’t you? “8 mm ruled notebooks”, you asked for.
Simple enough. Except the standard size is /seven /millimetres. One. Millimetre.
Difference. Do you realize, Mrs. X., exactly how infinitesimal the difference
between 7 mm ruling and 8 mm ruling is? Pretty small, I assure you. The
thickness of a fingernail, approximately. But that millimetre, that small bit of
nothingness, made me drive to four different stores, over the course of three
sweaty August hours. And when I finally, finally found the last remaining 8 mm
notebooks, I took no pleasure in my victory. I merely shifted my focus. To you,
Mrs. X.
You wanna dance, lady? Let’s dance.
Because I am just batshit
crazy enough to play your games. And, in turn, come up with some of my
own.
On show and share day, my son will be bringing the video of his birth.
It will be labelled, “Ben’s First Puppy.” Enjoy.
He will be given a list of
words, and daily, he will ask you what they mean. Words such as, “pedophile”,
“anti-semite”, and “skank”. Good luck with those.
At some point, you will
attempt to teach him mathematics. And I’m quite sure that, like most of your
ilk, you will require my son to “show his work”. And he will.
Through
interpretive dance.
Because that is who you’ve chosen to tangle with, toots.
A stay at home mom who is not entirely balanced, and has altogether too much
time on her hands. But is, most certainly, A Mother Who Can Follow
Directions.
Sincerely,
Ginny

it's been long since i last blogged.
i was sick and had SO much work.

which cause my results to deteriorate
you would not believe

but no i'm not failing....
it's just that my average is almost exactly 2 points lower than last year
*annoyed*

but all is not lost....
i have to come to terms with that...
but it BUGS ME SO MUCH

i blame the singapore educational system...
it has turned me this way~!!!

somid term break is coming up
i have no money and the bf is not even free to go anywhere...
ANYONE IN EUROPE WANNA MEET UP?!?!?

Hmm this is officially the first year in which i'm convinced
that the moon landing was a CONSPIRACY

yes yes.
zyun has turned into one of THOSE people.

the thought only occured to me last year
during F&B
those in my class would know what i'm talking about.

at first i was like
"why the heck would anyone want to fake a MOON LANDING!?"

and then it kinda started making a little sense
i watched a conspiracy show and now i'm CONVINCED
it's fake.

it's not the little things like
"ooh you couldn't see any stars in the background"
that convinced me

more like
a whole list of things.
for those interested i suggest you check out some shows on youtube.

it's really rather interesting how OBVIOUS it becomes after a while
here's a summary of some points

1) the guy who created the camera used by the astronauts said that it was impossible for them to take a well aimed picture cos their suits wouldn't be able to let them look down at the camera while using it. Yet all the pictures were very well taken

2) Considering there's only 1 light source : the sun it is impossible for the the shadows to be pointing in different directions yet they were.

3) some places in the video were EXACTLY the same... even though they were supposed to be 20 miles apart. (blamed on bad editing)

4) There's apparently a radiation belt they would have to pass through to get to the moon
which should kill them or at least give them some cancer.

5)The flags flapped in the wind.... there's no wind on the moon.

6) Apparently if you fastforward the video to twice it's original speed. they just look like they're running on earth and driving on earth.

7) How do you see such detailed pictures when the person's back is facing the sun?
By right you should only see a shadow. unless there are alternative light sources.

8)It's been 40 years... why hasn't anyone gone back to the moon?! we should have space hotels by now.

9) The take off should have created some kind of blast off crater or something

10) You couldn't hear the engine noise when they were taking off again from the moon.
by right it should have been loud enough to muffle the voices of the astronauts.
