I went to the UK funfair last night!!! :) Only sat two rides though, because as you know, the ticket prices are totally exorbitant! But boy, did we have some fun! Maybe with the exception of a certain somebody, who thought that the entire funfair was more pure torture than anything else. ;) The first ride was not too bad. It was this circular thing which looked like a UFO. It got me quite dizzy after a while, but yeah, that was cool. Second ride, ah that was a blast! Well, I kind of believe that one should totally scream their lungs out while sitting such adrenaline pumping rides. So, there was I, holding on to my dear, dear life while screaming on the top of my lungs! Craziness, you say. But yeah, I felt like I was spun about a million times way up in the air. It was actually pretty cool, although I began talking to myself halfway through the ride. I have to keep talking or making noise so that I know I'm still alive ;) Hehe. Anyway, that was that- the UK funfair. :)

Had a drink at Coffee Bean after that, while everyone just sat down to rest. Phew, huh. Afterwhich, we went down-town to have dinner. I didn't have much of an apetite, although I was pretty famished before I sat the rides. I guess all that screaming made me full. Wait, that doesn't make much sense, does it? Oh well, my certain someone got slightly cured from his nauseousness after having his (mmmm) Alfredo pasta! ;) And if that wasn't enough, we headed for some Häagen-Dazs ice cream. Ooooh yeah. :) Ordered no, not one, but two plates of One Perfect Moment! Orgasmic, I tell you ;) Haha.

Anyway, I've captured last night's exciting, heart-thumping, delicious events into my trusty digi-cam. In fact, I've got quite a bit to upload- Cameron Highland photos as well. But yeah, I'll get down to uploading them. Someday.

Attempted to help around my parent's office this morning. Practically finished up the (insignificant, really) paper work that was given to me. What can I say, I'm an efficient worker. Oh yes, that's me, as hardworking as a bumble bee. :) Haha, mum and I decided to 'pontang' the rest of the work-day by giving ourselves a little pamper up session. Ha.

Anyway, must, must rave about last night. ;) Had such a neato burrito, tummy yummy, lovey dovey night! Ha. We (okay, maybe it was just me) ate so muchhh, it actually became quite a task to walk straight. And yes, the Woodlands National Library is exxcellento! It's really too cool to be true. Pity it's so far away from home. It's reaaally nifty. Oh and I'm no longer black marked by the library anymore!! Finally paid up my library debt. Heh, I swear it wasn't me who borrowed (and didn't return) the book 'Finding Mr. Right'. For real.

Ooooo. We're watching my parent's wedding video!! Converted it to VCD :) The first part of it consists of old photographs of my parents in their growing years. So nostalgic. I don't know, I just keep thinking how fast time flies and that, no matter how we keep trying, life IS short. I like to flip through my parent's old photographs, wishing that the people in it would jump out of their seemingly old, sepia bodies to retell the story of that very moment. I can't describe it. There's something about the way they looked in those photographs, and I'm not just talking about their big hair (think Elvis), which continues to evoke guffaws and giggles from me. Their faces exude a certain glow of calmness, with streaks of teenage impulses and dangerous uncertainties. Enshrouded in mystery, my parents led their adolescent lives in worlds apart from mine. Sometimes, I'm just a little girl au coeur, with a strange fascination about my very own origins.

Anyone read the Sunday Plus today? This weight issue has become such a hot topic here, falling short of the World Cup, of course. I hate weight isssueees. I'm quite certain that all the weighing machines in the world have a secret conspiracy against me. So yes, quoting from a line in the papers (i have no originality, so?), I'm not fat, I'm just waiting to grow taller. :)

Am listening to Guitar Man by Bread right now. Ha..... This is like the cutest song! If there's anyone that's gonna be the Guitar Man, it has gotta be Daryl! Umm. :) Oh yeah, we went down town to Borders today to catch Corrinne May again ;) She's way cool, even remembered our names and all. Well yeah, some people are just born talented. Unlike me, the musically uninclined klutz. :) Ooo. And before I forget, HELLO RONIO MACOS!! :) Haha.

It was more "Land of Moths" rather than that of Strawberries, but I enjoyed myself anyhow. It was reaaally great. Yep! I don't feel very eloquent today, well, really, I never do. But well, this is to mention the fact that I'm back. I can't stop thinking about Cameron Highlands. The pretty, pretty flowers, the cool night's air, the sunrise that wasn't and all the midnight walks. It was so lovely! And the weather, it was so nice and cooling up there, such a relief from the sweltering heat in Singapore. Oh well, but here I am, back again. Oh bother.

:) :)

Sunday, June 9, 2002 05:54 p.m.

Yes, that would be me on the right. Nifty, huh. Amuse me, for it will be in 6 days time till I come home. I'll be leaving for the Land of Strawberries tonight. It'll be cold, but I have my strawberry lipbalm and my (favouritefavourite) purple denim jacket with rhinestone stars. Ha. My favourite buy from Hong Kong! I used to have a thing for strawberries, did you know that? I lusted over everything associated with strawberries. Well, well. What do you know. Was thinking, after what Mario said. Am I really oblivious to everything around? I always thought ignorance was bliss, ha. Well, that was self delusion on my part, you know, an easy excuse. Such an escapist, I am. Anyway, thanks for the lovely, lovely songs Sam. They're really quite perfect.

Well, parting, yes, parting is such sweet sorrow, isn't it? Yet, who am I to know what parting really is? My words are just empty, hollow, as jilted lovers with sapless cores. Mmmmmm, I feel tingly. Is there such a word? Soaking up the evening sun, I sit in quiet anticipation. The zephyr whispers, cool and gently, caressing my bare skin. Sequinned drops, how precious, how affecting. Large billows of clouds, now inkdrops on a azure canvas. My vision blurs once again. It could be sweet.

Hello, I know your IP address, AND I also know that you're now using a pseudo IP address. So, really. Leave the childish antics for someone who would appreciate them.

Sunday, June 9, 2002 12:47 a.m.

Sometimes it feels like I've forgotten how it was like to be me. All that I've once embraced has become so foreign. Back then, I had problems accepting myself as I was. It took a long, painful journey of rediscovering, to finally master the courage I needed to pull myself out from the mess I was in. But I think, in the process of learning to love myself, I've forgotten how it is like to really love another person. While searching for myself, I've lost others. What does it take to thaw a heart?

Saturday, June 8, 2002 11:09 a.m.

Hey kids! Had such a splashing good time with my classmates at Sentosa yesterday. :) Can't wait for the photos to be developed and all! Heh ;) Tried to get a tan, but to no avail. Reckon I put a tad too much sunblock. Well, what's new, eh. But it was really fun! After MUCH persuasion from yours truly, we swam to the platform to sunbathe! :) For a moment there, we felt like shipwrecked survivors on a stranded island. Haha.

ANYWAY, Boon and I left the group early 'cause I had to go downtown for some accapella at BlueMoo. Annnd, here comes the exciting part, haha. We hitched a ride from these guys who had delievered something to Underwater World in their lorry. It really started off as a joke. You know, with me waving my hand in exaggerated exhaustion as we dragged our feet along the burning pavement. It was pretty hilarious, because the guy started to reverse his lorry. I nudged Boon to get her to ask the guy if we could hitch a ride to the main island. And! She did it! Whooope. So anyhow, the guy in the front passenger seat actually went to sit behind, in the open area of the lorry. Hahaha! So, we girls had the passenger seat instead! Air-con after 1/2 a day of intense heat is heaven, really! So, there we were, drenched in pespiration, but most of all still in utter shock that we had hitched a ride from two strange men. ;) Haha! One of the things your parents warned you about, huh? Fortunately, the driver was really, really nice! We made some conversation with him, and found out that he had a really psycotic laugh. But, apart from that, he was really sweet. I was kind of freaked out because I was pretty intimidated by the number of earrings he had! Haha. It's good though, his exterior betrays his friendliness! I thought he would be some gangster waiting to pounce on vulnerable young girls and like kidnap them for ransom. There goes my imagination.... Sigh. It was like, the perfect way to end of the wonderful afternoon ;)

Ok. Misadventures aside, here are some of the photos of the wonderful AKA ACAPPELLA that I went for a few weeks back! ;) Simple the best, I say. Anyway, am pretty tired right now. Oh yes, I've had enough of that infantile "I'm Infactuated". Go get a life, really. Lamer.

Monday, June 3, 2002 10:37 p.m.

I feel so, so blessed! :) Anyway, I'll be heading down to MTV, Nickelodeon tomorrow! I've been so thrilled for the past few days you wouldn't believe it! I've been practically bouncing off the walls or something. Church camp is in a week's time and I'm pretty hyped up for that too. It's gonna be a good week, I think. Still can't stand the weather though.

Thursday, May 30, 2002 03:00 p.m.

I will meet you
In some place
Where the light lends itself
To soft repose
I will let you undress me
But I warn you
I have thorns
Like any rose
And you could hurt me
With your bare hands
You could hurt me
With the sharp end
Of what you say
But I'm lost to you now
And there's no
Amount of reason
That could save me

So break me
Take me
Just let me
Feel your arms again
Break me
I'll let you make me
Just let me
Feel your love again

Feels like being underwater
Now that I've let go
And lost control
Water kisses fill my mouth
Water fills my soul

Jewel - Break Me

I am so empty, and quiet.

Queen of random excuses and all things irrelevant, or Rachel for short. Dreaming too much has been proven detrimental to my mental capabilities (if any), although I seldom admit so due to childish pride. My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely. I am disorganized and irrational and no, I don't cook or sew. Despite popular belief, I'm not arrogant, I'm just a terrible conversationalist. I'd like to think that I'm young, naive and sweet, as 16 year old girls should be. I also like to think that, equipped with my pseudo lomo, paper journal and coloured markers, I'm capable of world domination. Have I mentioned that I dream too much? And yes, despite having a blog that mainly revolves around my life, I'm not as narcissistic (i got it right this time, daryl) as I seem. Really.
