Hi. I'm Janelle.
I believe in miracles, and I'm currently
living in my sweet fourteen.
Fifteen candles on 3 November '10.
Hongsters, Retards and Godsiblings are the most important people in my life.
I'm a crazed fangirl when it comes to local band 迷路兵!
When it comes to love, I'm that little girl who believes in fairytales.
I believe in taking leaps of faith, I always take risks,
and 迷路兵 is the equivalent of candy for my soul.

"Some things don't last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there." — Sarah Dessen
the hardest thing I do is wake up without you.

like the new changes?
close your eyes and count by two, and when you get to five, i'll stop loving you.

Hey y'all!
Sorry I could only post now, was busy almost the entire afternoon. Was meaning to post at around 4pm, but I got distracted by freebie sites. x.x
Anyway, added my playlist back into the blog, and will be changing my tagbox smileys later! (Like, finally. The ghey smileys were always old. But I couldn't seem to find any smiley set I liked enough.)
Was intending to change the background of my layout, but I decided to leave it, because I like it, and I think it suits the layout in a funny way. I like the large polka dots, and I think the blue kinda brightens up the whole thing instead of the whole thing being simply pinkpinkpink (which can get quite dull despite it's chioness), so I decided to leave it as it is. It's quirky. And chio. ((:
Here's what you've (Jenell) has been waiting for!
Yesterday's few photos:
In TopShop - note our chio and supersupersuper comfy shoes! <3
In the MRT.
Anyway, Twinny and I are going to steal the Etude House chairs! Yayyy! And I absolutely heart the Topshop changing rooms! So spacious and two mirrors and a wonderful chio silver seat!
Too bad about its prices though. Way too expensive for my budget. But totally in Eleanor's high budget.
Hehehehe. What do you guys want for the Extras section? Leave comments, idk what to put there! LOL.
Tag replies!!!
jenell: hah,alrighty! > I uploaded the images already twin! :D
ELEANOR.: Wow. What time's your curfew? o_o ELEANOR.: Who the heck is k? > 6.30 max. Absolutely pathetic. That's why I say I want a sleepover, because if we go out there's absolutely no way we can do all the things we wanna do. And you're asking me who k is, haha. I have absolutely no idea.
huining: @marcus serve you right for going to camp! > You're not going meh? o.o My mother said you were.
Yiyun: some idiot again lah eleanor. > What's up with your all-lower-case today?
hold me and love me.

Music: Time Of Your Life - Green Day. Mood: Happy. Book: Sloane Sisters - Anna Carey.
Hellohellohellooo~~~~
I'm reasonably happy today, because I spent almost the whole day out, with Twin. Though we left at 5.30 and I spent 2 hours waiting for her, I got to talk to my dear girl Afrah during those hours!
And, digressing, THIS is why I love Afrah so so so much. *cue awwws*
Anyway, I like being busy. Going out, having something to do. When I'm idle I tend to think about a lot of things I don't want to think about. Today was good. Slept at 2am finishing up The Truth About Forever. Loved, loved, loved it. Trying out other Sarah Dessen books soon. Woke up at 9, listened to 987FM for the Singapore Idol radio interview and some music, then at 10.30 showered and prepared. Left the house at 11.30.
Reached ION at 12, bought "breakfast", walked around and waited for Twin until 2.
Went to Far East, shopped, talked (a lot), went back to ION and window-shopped! Went into Topshop and tried on clothes and had fun in ION in general.
MRT-ed home together, me to AMK and she to YCK.
Went to AMK Hub to walk for a bit before heading home at 6.
I lead such a pathetic life. My curfew is so damn early. I WANT TO GO OUT AT NIGHT! T.T
Homed and watched TV until 11pm.
I love not thinking about things. But at night before I sleep all the thoughts come rushing back.
Now you know why my eyes are always forever puffy in the day.
Library tomorrow with Sleepy. I shall convince Mum to bring us out tomorrow! And I want to go to ION! I want to go to Etude House (Stupid ION and Etude. -.- Afrah knows what I mean.) and buy their eyeliner cuz' my Maybelline one broke and ran out. T.T It was too smudgey anyway.
I want to go to Kinokuniya. I WANT TO BUY THE LAST SONG. I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE!!!!
Anyway, I'm reading Sloane Sisters by Anna Carey now. It is SERIOUSLY like The Clique. Reminds me so, so, so much of The Clique. (Which I love.) Like The Clique, it's set in the Upper East Side, (except Sloane Sisters is in Manhattan and The Clique is in Westchester) they both go to private schools, (except the one in SS has uniforms and the one in TC doesn't) the girls are all shallow, gorgeous and materialistic (too true about TC girls, and all the SS girls are like that except Lola.)
Anyway, if you like The Clique like me then you really should check it out. (:
After this novel I'm intending to read Along For the Ride by Sarah Dessen, the Stargirl series (Recommended by Dear. <3), Lilith by Low Kay Hwa (hopefully I get it by then) and two other books Dear recommended to me, which I shan't share here since I'm selfish. HAHA.
Anywayanywayanyway, TAG REPLIES! :D (I shall follow the way Rosslynn Affair does hers from now on! :D)
Clarine: (list of random spams) > Spaz. -.- Too bad you're in Taiwan now (ENVIOUS TTM) and don't get to read this.
jenell: twinny who's that guyyyy that broke your heart? ); > I told you about him today, didn't I? (:
afrah: ouh nice! love those photos dear! afrah: AND THAT PHOTO OF JERI! ROFL! afrah: wheeee! we're gonna have fun yeah! > Love those photos too! HAHAHA. I got the first-ever-released paparazzi photo of the paparazzi! And yes we're gonna have fun! :D
k: you look chio. NOT. > You don't need to tell me that for me to know. But thanks anyway. I appreciate it.
Nicole: I've got The Last Song and L.A Candy. You can get it both in MPH. Very very nice. > Okay, thanks so much! :DD
huining: hey, i went to get your super belated bday gift. how am i supposed to pass it to you? huining: since you not going camp, we can go out someday to play pool or smth.:D > OMG I'm so touched la! You bought me something! *tears up* Text me. I know how, haha. And we don't even have to go out. Text me and I'll tell you. :D
marcus: wth unfair )): i wanna go toooo > You can come if you want! We can all play pool together! I think we should invite other people, I don't want to play gooseberry between both of you. And I didn't know you read my blog! Yay! *claps*
12AM now. I need to get to bed. Or maybe not.
I think I'm going to finish Sloane Sisters. I'm still on chapter 3 cuz' I started reading it only on the bus back from AMK and I haven't got to touch it since I got home.
Can you say CRAWLING?
Haha.
P.S. Took a few photos with Twin. I'll try to upload them by noon tomorrow.
P.P.S. I TOTALLY FORGOT TO CALL THE WOMBAT! OHSHIT. I'll do it tomorrow. :x
i don't think you realised how easily you made me smile.
Tuesday, November 24 at 6:10 PM
Music: One Time - Justin Bieber. Mood: Slightly smiley. Book: The Truth About Forever - Sarah Dessen.
Anyway, was downloading eBooks earlier this afternoon, but halfway through my stupid Stanza cropped up. The Shared Books couldn't identify the network. #@$*%$%&# la. Totally pissed me off.
Found a whole lotta eBooks, but not the ones I want. Only found the Sarah Dessen ones. But got a whole lot of nice ones, esp. from this author called Hailey Abbott. Check out her books sometime y'all.
Anyway, I'm superduper excited for tomorrow's outing with Twin! Haven't seen her in quite a while, and I'm looking forward to finally going out for the first time in two whole weeks. (-.-) Besides, we're going shopping at Fareast. Shopping with her is definitely gonna be loads of fun. I mean, she's my twin!
I was thinking of downloading Gossip Girl and reading it, but I decided not to. I've decided that I shan't read chick lit that everyone else reads, or at least try to avoid it, because everyone will be influenced by its writing style and language. (Just like how there are so many people out there trying to imitate Stephenie Meyer's inimitable writing style and use of vocab.) Therefore, by reading chick lit that no one else reads, it's going to help me write in a style and use vocab no one else writes in!
At least, I hope it works.
I shall stave off GG and It Girl and Twilight. Okay, not Twilight.
But also because I'm lazy to read the entire series of GG. And probably get addicted to the series to, which means I'll have to find some way to watch it, which I am extremely lazy to. Besides, it's 3 seasons. Super hard to catch up now.
I'm going to make some exceptions, though. Like Twilight. And my all-time favourite Meg Cabot. (Love, love, love her. Her influence on my early writing and current writing style are massive. I grew up reading her novels and The Princess Diaries shaped my writing style, way of speech and personality.)
Hehehe.
And you should probably know why I'm blogging about this book talk.
Yes, I'm sure you heard me the first million times. So now repeat after me.
Because I have nothing else to blog about.
Hopefully by tomorrow I shall have.
I think I'm going to call the Wombat and chase her for the St. John's Island photos tonight so I can do a double post tomorrow. She's been putting it off for nearly two weeks now.
Peaceout. ((:

at 7:48 PM
Yeah I know I'm fucking fugly, fat, vomit-worthy, and totally hideous.
Would you care to repeat that at 2500 decibels? Cuz' I don't think Greenland heard you.
No wait. I think you should repeat it at 10000 decibels, since you obviously want the whole world to know, why stop at Greenland when you can reach the penguins and polar bears?
-.-
and it's all because you loved me.
Sunday, November 22 at 4:52 PM
Decided to upload some random pics F.Y.E (: Don't say I don't love you horh! Random photos from random events I've been to over the course of the last couple of months.
Youth Matters play with GuJunPyo - in the bus.
CINDY/AUDREY: Can I have that photo you stalker(s) took of me and Afrah sleeping on the bus? xD
Retards anniversary outing @ Seoul Garden!
Kbox with beloved girls.
BCF. Ditto above.
FIRST-EVER RELEASED UNGLAM PIC OF THE LENE! HAHAHAHAHA.
God knows when this photo was taken, man. Eons ago. 16 September.
Round tin cans/boxes were used for music proj, that's my old specs and old pencil case.
And youknowyouknow this pic was totally not supposed to be! Was trying to take a pic of my table when the Lene turned around to talk to me! HAHAHAHA.
Taken by Afrah. (I think.) Me and Lene walking together on the way to ACC. <3
In preparation for the still-unfinished anniversary gift.
More pics of us invading Northpoint's Seoul Garden.
Lene's work of art. Noodles in the soup.
Random camwhore in Guangzhou in hotel room's cafeteria.
Shall go and attempt to download some old old old songs now. HAHA.
Peaceout. (:
helloandgoodbye.
at 3:54 PM
Nothing very much for today's post, because NOTHING has been happening in my life. I'm just frittering days away sitting in front of the TV watching every single one of my DVDs and watching past seasons of ANTM on YouTube.
Anyway, Hongsters sleepover date has been changed to 1 Dec to 3 Dec instead of next week, so it leaves more time for anticipation...
BYTHEWAY, I got a new memory card reader since my last two totally made me vomit blood! Thus, I'm proud to announce that I will be blogging photos a LOT more.
I should be doing a picture post these couple of days, so stay tuned for that. Like, ALL the photos from the past couple of centuries ago that are all still on my memory card uncleared.
That should be all. I shall go back to my sad, sad, sad life right now.
SOMEONE JIO ME OUT FOR NEXT WEEK PL0X. ):
kthxbai.
Friday, November 20 at 1:33 PM
Hey everyone.
Been totally neglecting my blog lately, sorry about that. Lately I've not exactly been very busy. This whole week never go out, so I don't have anything to blog about.
I stay at home and rot 90% of the time, watching classic movies like Aladdin and cute Pixar ones like Up and Wall•E. Once in a while I try to go to work, but I often end up oversleeping. (Like today and yesterday.)
Anyway, I'm going to do all my work today so my mum will be in a good mood when she comes back! (Pray la horh.) If she's in a good mood then I can ask her about next week's plans. If not really die siol.
Next week's plans (Busy week for me): Mon: Nothing so far ba, I think. Tues: Tuition. Wed: Out with Twinny! <3 Thurs: Hongsters sleepover, Day 1! Fri: Day 2! Sat: Day 3! (Till afternoon.) Sun: Lunch with Xiaofang Laoshi.
Pray that the queen comes home in a good mood. If not idk when I can ask her. She's always in a bad mood. And she needs to be in a good mood when I ask her about the sleepover. 3D2N leyh. And idk if my father will let.
*crosses fingers and prays* The other 2 hongsters already asked their parents, so if mine say no it's like MAJOR WTF.
Pleasepleasepleaseplease, Hongsters sleepover???
lyricking.
Wednesday, November 18 at 6:09 PM
it's just me here tonight, here alone against the light. there's no you, no us, it's just me. when will we get to be a 'we'? when will i get to kiss you? when can i stop missing you?
it's been eighteen hundred days your kiss still lingers, along with your embrace. it's been six months, and i don't want to miss you. but somehow i still do.
cuz' by now i'm so sick of waiting in the rain, so tired of screaming your name. so sick of sitting by the telephone, waiting for you to make me feel less alone. so if you're listening, please tell me that you're coming home. please say you're on your way home.
---
Unfinished song. Can't seem to continue. What do you think? Do you guys like it?
Oh, btw, help me think of a title for it, y'all! I can't seem to think of a title. And I don't want to call it So Sick or anything like that.
Best suggestions will get a song written for them! (Okay, lame prize. I'll let you know when I think of a better prize.)
Do help me think of titles for this song! Tag them or text me or MSN me or something yaaaa. (:
Peaceout. (:

wtfz.
livejournal is so much damn better than blogger.
blogger suck my ballz.
it's taking all my willpower right now not to move my private blog to blogger and my public one to lj.
rawr.
blogger, start improving! this is why you're losing all your users to onsugar and xanga and wordpress and livejournal!
sorry, random spam, please get on with your normal lives.
not that anyone reads my blog anyway. this is as good as a private blog, with the number of people reading.
and if you're there, this is for you.

Losing my phone in May, I swear I cried for days on end.
Not because I lost everything - my music, photos, contacts. Yes, those were contributing factors, but what upset me the most were your messages.
Joel once told me to delete them and stop thinking of you. I told him I would do it when I was ready, when I was over you.
Loving you was like a smoking addiction. It was wrong for me, and wouldn't result in anything good for me at all, but I just couldn't stop. Let's say that even up till now, I still smoke a few sticks a day. I'm not aware of its presence and how much it hurts me, but it's there. And on nights I reminisce, I smoke more.
Okay, that was a lousy analogy. But I hope you get what I mean.
Losing those messages was the most painful thing for me. I'd saved all your messages to me, the ones you sent on that day, in a special folder. All the promises you made, all the reassurances that you loved me.
Perhaps it was because they were torn away from me, stolen without me letting go.
And it hurt me. Because that was all I had left of you. Even up till now, I wish I still had them, because it's all I had to cling on to, all that was left of you and me.
You promised you'd always take care of me. You broke it.
We're so similar, so alike in so many ways. In fact, you're almost exactly like me. That's why I loved you. But I think nobody other than me will ever in this life of mine realise how similar we are.
We might even be soulmates, with all those similarities...
---
I need to stop posting these emoish personal posts on my public blog. Maybe I should create a private lj/blog and let no one in...
anticipating.
Monday, November 16 at 8:27 PM
Will do a 2D dedication post soon, within this month. Once I find the strength and the self-discipline to do so and stop getting distracted by new music news.
Will also do a picture post soon, with all the memories.
Hongsters sleepover soon, am extremelyyyy looking forward to that.
Also, going to Yunnan with cousins. Though I'm upset I can't go for GZ camp because I'm coming back on the 11th, hey, I'll be with the closest family to me. (:
Going to the library with Sugarhoneyicedtea on Wednesday. I love her la! Whenever I need to go out, and she's free she'll just come no matter how ridiculous the timing or place. I'm so glad she got Bio instead of Physics (her 1st choice) and she's gonna be in 3C with me next year. <3
I want to go to Daiso and spend money! (LOL!) I also want to earn $100. I think I just need to go to work once more and I'll have hit the amount.
Still waiting for the pictures from the weekend from Wombat and Rosslynn. Hopefully Wombat sees my text and sends it to me by tomorrow. (:
And this is just a random post which you can just ignore and get on with your normal lives.
Thank you for listening.
cuz' there's no address in the stars.

Music: Atreyu - Tulips Are Better. Mood: Bored.
Hey beloved blogders. My apologies for the lack of updates these few days yeah. If you've been following my tweets you'll know that I had an extremelyextremely busy past three days. Hope you guys don't hold the lack of updates against me yeah. ((:
To make it up to you, here's a super long post on what I've been up to the last couple of days. (:
FRIDAY, 13 NOVEMBER. Friday the 13th. -.-
Anyway, woke up at 11.30 as usual. Headed to school and spent time in school.
After choir ended at 5.15 went to talk to Ms Yong.
Both of us went to the staff room because the Exco needed to help her take stuff from there.
Talk halfway, that bitch Pey come out of the staff room and kpkb about my hair. -。-
Sian la. Sibei suay. Before going to talk to Ms Yong I ran into Ms Cheryl Ng, and she also don't care. Then see that Ms Pey she kpkb until sibei jialat. -。-
She ask me what I'm doing in school with my hair colour like that. So I told her that I just came to talk to Ms Yong. (Yeah what, I was talking to her about officially quitting choir.) Then she kpkb a bit, then talktalktalk, ask some stuff like,"You are aware that you need to re-dye before coming back to school right?" something liddat la. I just kept nodding lorh.
After she walk away I super relieved siol.
Anyway, she says that she doesn't want to see me in school for the next 2 months until school reopens. HAHAHA. No problem man. I also don't want to go back. Even remedial and choir I pon all, what makes you think I'll go back to school willingly? I didn't even step into the school grounds until that day to talk to my CCA teacher, so what makes you think I want to go back to school? Please la, don't think I love school so much that I cannot bear to leave it for 2 months. I don't even want to go back after 2 months can? HAHAHAHAHA. Best joke of the century sia.
_|_
Anyway, after that talktalktalk to Ms Yong somemore, we walked down to level 2 HOD room there. Just about to finish our conversation when Mrs Chew came. So talked to her lorh. She asked me to think about the root of the problem and write a letter of reflection. She said that if I can tell her the root reason why I want to quit and why I hate choir now and blahblahblah she'll be happy to let me go.
Waited for dad at 372 bus stop, talked to Huining Er Jie on the phone, grumbling to her about Pey and having to write reflection letter and chatting about subject combis and her Os and such. Yay I love you Er Jie! (L)(L)
After that, dad gave Amanda and Denise a lift home because I happened to run into them at the bus stop. Went home after that.
Showered, ate a fish fillet, and headed for cell.
Got on the 112 to Kovan when I realised I forgot to bring my Bible. Go for cell never bring Bible. -。- However, by then it was too late to go back, because I wouldn't make it in time to meet Daryl and Jerome at Serangoon MRT. So I had to go without a Bible.
Reached the train platform of Serangoon and texted Daryl. Our texts crossed, and I received his saying he'd be 5min late and he received mine saying I was there already and asking him where he was. LOL!
Eventually met up at the control station after I went to buy some crackers to serve as my dinner. Waited for Jiawen, then headed to Yining's house.
Cell started very late, at about 8+, and Kaymond came even later, at 8.15. Played some random games because apparently Jerome was game master and he couldn't think of any other games to play. Ended up playing dai di with him, Jiawen and Yining. LOL!
Finished at around 10.30, Daryl's parents gave me a lift to the MRT. Thanks yeah! ^。^
Chatted on the phone with Afrah about the same things I talked to Er Jie about while waiting for my parents. Parents gave me a lift home. Homed at 11.
Had a talk with them about my quitting choir. -。- Understandably, they don't want me to quit. However, nothing and no one can stop me from quitting at this point. I've already made up my mind. Everyone tells me not to, and to just try it out. Well, I refuse. And to my parents, please respect my decision. Forcing me not to is not going to help anything. Please respect the fact that I made this decision and no one, not even any of you, is going to attempt to change it.
Slept at 1+, significant improvement! (Slept at 3+ the night before.)
SATURDAY, 14 NOVEMBER.
Didn't go for Creative today cuz' my Chinese tutor came at 9+ for tuition. Understandably, due to my sleeping at 1am and my usual waking-up time, I was unable to wake up. Thus, Sleepy went for class first while I got another 1 hour of sleep time. ^。^
After tuition, hung around, watched TV, read books until 2+.
Parents came to pick us up at 2+, headed over to Alicia Wombat's place.
Met up with the rest of the family at Wombat's place, and we split into two cars and drove to the HarbourFront jetty. Sat in Peggy's parents' car with Peggy, Wombat and Sleepy, Sleepy having the entire back row to himself and us three girls sharing the middle row.
Wombat's father owns a ship company, I think. Therefore, he let us use the boats to get there. He got us 2 boats, Alicia 92 and Alison 92.
Sat Alicia 92 (Wombat's boat!) with Peggy, Sleepy and her and three aunts and uncles.
The original plan was to head to Big Sister Island, but halfway through we decided to go to St. John's instead, so we headed off to St. John's Island.
Explored the place, and hiked for a while. (Wombat and I were right at the back protesting every step of the way.)
Eventually found this long stretch of road with the sea on both sides of it, and set up our picnic there. Had a great time munching of chips and drinking fizzy apple juice and taking random pics with Wombat's Samsung camera. Dad and Gwyn's father were flying the kites we got in Guangzhou. Very nice! One sotong kite and one penguin kite! Had fun watching the kites fly.
At about 5+ headed back to Singapore shores, boarded the boats.
After heading back to Singapore, went to Wombat's place for dinner.
The nasi lemak was okay, but I was too busy watching 爱 with all my aunts. Don't call me aunty okay! I think it's an addictive show. Every weekend, my granny, my mum and I will sit down in the living room and watch it. HAHA. I'm not an aunty okay! It's too addictive to stop watching.
After the show ended, headed up to Wombat's room for bonding time with the cousins.
We started playing stress! Hahaha. We made so much noise that my aunts had to come up a few times to get us to quieten down. Hahahahahaha. But it was so much fun la. Peggy is a blur sotong! Everytime both decks had the same card she still blurblur don't know wor! Haha.
Came down at 9.30 to watch 桃花小妹. Peggy didn't want to watch it, but we all dragged her down, so she watched it with us.
Homed at 11.50, slept at 12.30. Also early! ^。^
(Photos from St. John's Island are with Wombat. I'll upload them as soon as I get them from her yeah. (:)
SUNDAY, 15 NOVEMBER.
The busiest and longest day among all three days, no competition.
Got up at 7.30. Was actually supposed to wake up at 7am, but had difficulty getting up so overslept.
Reached the Changi jetty late! Supposed to get there at 8am and I reached at 8.15! Everyone was waiting for me. Paiseh uh. >。<
Finally got to meet Rosslynn Affair and Yiyun Da Jie after so long! Missed them ttm.
Took the boat to Pulau Ubin, and settled down in the little cafe next to the jetty while waiting for the others to come in the other boat. Rosslynn had mee siam and everyone else just drank 100Plus, except for me. (I don't drink istonic drinks. They taste horrible.) I drank the only non-gasy drink there, peach tea.
Went to rent bicycles, then we were off!
Cycled for superrrrr long and superrrrr far. Idk how long bah. Haha. But it was really super long. Surprisingly, my leg muscles and ab muscles didn't hurt at all! But I think I've got bruises all over my ass. (Since it's so fat, I didn't think it'd get injured/cramped/bruised by the bicycle seat at all. But it did, and it bruised not on the ass cheeks but the bone there. So I have to sit on cushiony chairs now or it's supersupersuper painful.)
Went back to Singapore shores at 1+. Some stuff happened at the jetty, but I guess it was alright after that.
(Photos from Pulau Ubin are with Rosslynn. I'll upload them as soon as I get them from her yeah. (:)
Went for lunch immediately prior to reaching Singapore! Xiaofang Laoshi went absolutely bonkers. We all ordered our own food already, then she came and ordered so much that our whole table was full of food! Here's what she ordered: - One plate of carrot cake - Three plates of don't know what (Chee cheong fun, I think.) - Two plates of hokkien mee.
Following that, Zhen Feng got everyone ice-kachang. So we were all stuffed to the max. We even had to play a game to finish all the food because there was so much food we couldn't finish.
Lompang-ed Xiaofang Laoshi home, then homed. Had a quick but thorough shower, then headed off to Creative for the make-up class because I missed my usual Saturday timing due to the St. John's Island saga. (Refer to above text for Saturday.)
Stupid roads were all jammed because of APEC, so Mum had to take an alternative road through all the posh Bukit Timah bungalows. (Envious ttm.)
Hehehehe. There was a hot guy in Dear's group! Can ask Dear. Even she says he's not bad. ^。^
Chatted with Dear for a while at the lift lobby. And her sister knows me! I'm so power! ^。^ We were talking in the lift, then her sister was like, asking Dear, "Is that Janelle?"
HAHAHA. Idk what she said about me, but at least she knows me okay!
After that, went home. And I didn't sleep! Went to AMK Hub and spent almost $100 on the tidbits at the food fair alone. Then went down to the a actual NTUC and spent another $20+ on other stuff.
Came home and cooked for our Japanese dinner feast!~
After dinner, watched 爱 again. Watched until it ended at 10pm, then went to shower and headed to bed at 10.30 because I was dead tired. Didn't sleep until 11+ because I couldn't sleep due to a number of reasons. Haha!
However, the minute I shut up and let my mind rest I fell asleep! ^。^
Long days for me. Didn't have a proper, sleep-till-11.30-sleep until this morning, when I woke up at 9am to use the toilet and went back to bed and finally woke up at noon.
Bytheway, to digress a bit, I'm addicted to relatively unknown songs lately. But I love them! Hahaha. Listen to them, look at the lyrics, try to decipher the meaning of the song, and tell me what you think of them yeah!
This is actually quite a well-known song back in the '60s or '70s, I guess. It's really old, but I like it. And Reba McEntire rarely performs this song, because it's so emotional and she breaks down whenever she sings it. Embedding has been disabled for this song, so you guys'll just have to click the link and watch the vid!
Call me Janelle, and it's pronounced as Juh-nehl intead of following the spelling. But I don't mind if you pronounce it wrongly as long as I know it's me you're referring to :D
Alternative names are 思颖 (Chinese), Han Jin Hee (Korean), or 炸鸟/炸鸟蛋 (Nicknames).
I blow out 15 candles on 3 November 2010, and I'll be content with a happy birthday. Hongsters and Retards F4 Fat Kingdom are extremely important to me.
I love polka dots, colours, hearts, stripes and accessories with large stars on them. Pink is the love.
I'm obstinate, liberal, loud, a troublemaker and opinionated, so if you think I'm a bitch I don't really care.
I'm also extremely sensitive, emotional, disorganized, a major procrastinor and a pessimist. But hey, I definitely have my blonde moments too! Definitely a loyal fan of local band 迷路兵. I'm a pretty good listener, but do I need someone to listen to me cry sometimes. Sentimental songwriters and romantic lyrics turn me on.
A shopaholic and a major spendthrift. I also crave attention and affection, but I don't get it most of the time. I'm in love with Nicodemus Lee of 迷路兵, photography, and anything to do with words.
And that's all you'll ever need to know.
wishlist.
Love. Happiness. Him. A happy birthday.

Hey y'all!
Sorry I could only post now, was busy almost the entire afternoon. Was meaning to post at around 4pm, but I got distracted by freebie sites. x.x
Anyway, added my playlist back into the blog, and will be changing my tagbox smileys later! (Like, finally. The ghey smileys were always old. But I couldn't seem to find any smiley set I liked enough.)
Was intending to change the background of my layout, but I decided to leave it, because I like it, and I think it suits the layout in a funny way. I like the large polka dots, and I think the blue kinda brightens up the whole thing instead of the whole thing being simply pinkpinkpink (which can get quite dull despite it's chioness), so I decided to leave it as it is. It's quirky. And chio. ((:
Here's what you've (Jenell) has been waiting for!
Yesterday's few photos:
In TopShop - note our chio and supersupersuper comfy shoes! <3
In the MRT.
Anyway, Twinny and I are going to steal the Etude House chairs! Yayyy! And I absolutely heart the Topshop changing rooms! So spacious and two mirrors and a wonderful chio silver seat!
Too bad about its prices though. Way too expensive for my budget. But totally in Eleanor's high budget.
Hehehehe. What do you guys want for the Extras section? Leave comments, idk what to put there! LOL.
Tag replies!!!
jenell: hah,alrighty! > I uploaded the images already twin! :D
ELEANOR.: Wow. What time's your curfew? o_o ELEANOR.: Who the heck is k? > 6.30 max. Absolutely pathetic. That's why I say I want a sleepover, because if we go out there's absolutely no way we can do all the things we wanna do. And you're asking me who k is, haha. I have absolutely no idea.
huining: @marcus serve you right for going to camp! > You're not going meh? o.o My mother said you were.
Yiyun: some idiot again lah eleanor. > What's up with your all-lower-case today?
hold me and love me.

Music: Time Of Your Life - Green Day. Mood: Happy. Book: Sloane Sisters - Anna Carey.
Hellohellohellooo~~~~
I'm reasonably happy today, because I spent almost the whole day out, with Twin. Though we left at 5.30 and I spent 2 hours waiting for her, I got to talk to my dear girl Afrah during those hours!
And, digressing, THIS is why I love Afrah so so so much. *cue awwws*
Anyway, I like being busy. Going out, having something to do. When I'm idle I tend to think about a lot of things I don't want to think about. Today was good. Slept at 2am finishing up The Truth About Forever. Loved, loved, loved it. Trying out other Sarah Dessen books soon. Woke up at 9, listened to 987FM for the Singapore Idol radio interview and some music, then at 10.30 showered and prepared. Left the house at 11.30.
Reached ION at 12, bought "breakfast", walked around and waited for Twin until 2.
Went to Far East, shopped, talked (a lot), went back to ION and window-shopped! Went into Topshop and tried on clothes and had fun in ION in general.
MRT-ed home together, me to AMK and she to YCK.
Went to AMK Hub to walk for a bit before heading home at 6.
I lead such a pathetic life. My curfew is so damn early. I WANT TO GO OUT AT NIGHT! T.T
Homed and watched TV until 11pm.
I love not thinking about things. But at night before I sleep all the thoughts come rushing back.
Now you know why my eyes are always forever puffy in the day.
Library tomorrow with Sleepy. I shall convince Mum to bring us out tomorrow! And I want to go to ION! I want to go to Etude House (Stupid ION and Etude. -.- Afrah knows what I mean.) and buy their eyeliner cuz' my Maybelline one broke and ran out. T.T It was too smudgey anyway.
I want to go to Kinokuniya. I WANT TO BUY THE LAST SONG. I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE!!!!
Anyway, I'm reading Sloane Sisters by Anna Carey now. It is SERIOUSLY like The Clique. Reminds me so, so, so much of The Clique. (Which I love.) Like The Clique, it's set in the Upper East Side, (except Sloane Sisters is in Manhattan and The Clique is in Westchester) they both go to private schools, (except the one in SS has uniforms and the one in TC doesn't) the girls are all shallow, gorgeous and materialistic (too true about TC girls, and all the SS girls are like that except Lola.)
Anyway, if you like The Clique like me then you really should check it out. (:
After this novel I'm intending to read Along For the Ride by Sarah Dessen, the Stargirl series (Recommended by Dear. <3), Lilith by Low Kay Hwa (hopefully I get it by then) and two other books Dear recommended to me, which I shan't share here since I'm selfish. HAHA.
Anywayanywayanyway, TAG REPLIES! :D (I shall follow the way Rosslynn Affair does hers from now on! :D)
Clarine: (list of random spams) > Spaz. -.- Too bad you're in Taiwan now (ENVIOUS TTM) and don't get to read this.
jenell: twinny who's that guyyyy that broke your heart? ); > I told you about him today, didn't I? (:
afrah: ouh nice! love those photos dear! afrah: AND THAT PHOTO OF JERI! ROFL! afrah: wheeee! we're gonna have fun yeah! > Love those photos too! HAHAHA. I got the first-ever-released paparazzi photo of the paparazzi! And yes we're gonna have fun! :D
k: you look chio. NOT. > You don't need to tell me that for me to know. But thanks anyway. I appreciate it.
Nicole: I've got The Last Song and L.A Candy. You can get it both in MPH. Very very nice. > Okay, thanks so much! :DD
huining: hey, i went to get your super belated bday gift. how am i supposed to pass it to you? huining: since you not going camp, we can go out someday to play pool or smth.:D > OMG I'm so touched la! You bought me something! *tears up* Text me. I know how, haha. And we don't even have to go out. Text me and I'll tell you. :D
marcus: wth unfair )): i wanna go toooo > You can come if you want! We can all play pool together! I think we should invite other people, I don't want to play gooseberry between both of you. And I didn't know you read my blog! Yay! *claps*
12AM now. I need to get to bed. Or maybe not.
I think I'm going to finish Sloane Sisters. I'm still on chapter 3 cuz' I started reading it only on the bus back from AMK and I haven't got to touch it since I got home.
Can you say CRAWLING?
Haha.
P.S. Took a few photos with Twin. I'll try to upload them by noon tomorrow.
P.P.S. I TOTALLY FORGOT TO CALL THE WOMBAT! OHSHIT. I'll do it tomorrow. :x
i don't think you realised how easily you made me smile.
Tuesday, November 24 at 6:10 PM
Music: One Time - Justin Bieber. Mood: Slightly smiley. Book: The Truth About Forever - Sarah Dessen.
Anyway, was downloading eBooks earlier this afternoon, but halfway through my stupid Stanza cropped up. The Shared Books couldn't identify the network. #@$*%$%&# la. Totally pissed me off.
Found a whole lotta eBooks, but not the ones I want. Only found the Sarah Dessen ones. But got a whole lot of nice ones, esp. from this author called Hailey Abbott. Check out her books sometime y'all.
Anyway, I'm superduper excited for tomorrow's outing with Twin! Haven't seen her in quite a while, and I'm looking forward to finally going out for the first time in two whole weeks. (-.-) Besides, we're going shopping at Fareast. Shopping with her is definitely gonna be loads of fun. I mean, she's my twin!
I was thinking of downloading Gossip Girl and reading it, but I decided not to. I've decided that I shan't read chick lit that everyone else reads, or at least try to avoid it, because everyone will be influenced by its writing style and language. (Just like how there are so many people out there trying to imitate Stephenie Meyer's inimitable writing style and use of vocab.) Therefore, by reading chick lit that no one else reads, it's going to help me write in a style and use vocab no one else writes in!
At least, I hope it works.
I shall stave off GG and It Girl and Twilight. Okay, not Twilight.
But also because I'm lazy to read the entire series of GG. And probably get addicted to the series to, which means I'll have to find some way to watch it, which I am extremely lazy to. Besides, it's 3 seasons. Super hard to catch up now.
I'm going to make some exceptions, though. Like Twilight. And my all-time favourite Meg Cabot. (Love, love, love her. Her influence on my early writing and current writing style are massive. I grew up reading her novels and The Princess Diaries shaped my writing style, way of speech and personality.)
Hehehe.
And you should probably know why I'm blogging about this book talk.
Yes, I'm sure you heard me the first million times. So now repeat after me.
Because I have nothing else to blog about.
Hopefully by tomorrow I shall have.
I think I'm going to call the Wombat and chase her for the St. John's Island photos tonight so I can do a double post tomorrow. She's been putting it off for nearly two weeks now.
Peaceout. ((:

Yeah I know I'm fucking fugly, fat, vomit-worthy, and totally hideous.
Would you care to repeat that at 2500 decibels? Cuz' I don't think Greenland heard you.
No wait. I think you should repeat it at 10000 decibels, since you obviously want the whole world to know, why stop at Greenland when you can reach the penguins and polar bears?
-.-
and it's all because you loved me.
Sunday, November 22 at 4:52 PM
Decided to upload some random pics F.Y.E (: Don't say I don't love you horh! Random photos from random events I've been to over the course of the last couple of months.
Youth Matters play with GuJunPyo - in the bus.
CINDY/AUDREY: Can I have that photo you stalker(s) took of me and Afrah sleeping on the bus? xD
Retards anniversary outing @ Seoul Garden!
Kbox with beloved girls.
BCF. Ditto above.
FIRST-EVER RELEASED UNGLAM PIC OF THE LENE! HAHAHAHAHA.
God knows when this photo was taken, man. Eons ago. 16 September.
Round tin cans/boxes were used for music proj, that's my old specs and old pencil case.
And youknowyouknow this pic was totally not supposed to be! Was trying to take a pic of my table when the Lene turned around to talk to me! HAHAHAHA.
Taken by Afrah. (I think.) Me and Lene walking together on the way to ACC. <3
In preparation for the still-unfinished anniversary gift.
More pics of us invading Northpoint's Seoul Garden.
Lene's work of art. Noodles in the soup.
Random camwhore in Guangzhou in hotel room's cafeteria.
Shall go and attempt to download some old old old songs now. HAHA.
Peaceout. (:
helloandgoodbye.
at 3:54 PM
Nothing very much for today's post, because NOTHING has been happening in my life. I'm just frittering days away sitting in front of the TV watching every single one of my DVDs and watching past seasons of ANTM on YouTube.
Anyway, Hongsters sleepover date has been changed to 1 Dec to 3 Dec instead of next week, so it leaves more time for anticipation...
BYTHEWAY, I got a new memory card reader since my last two totally made me vomit blood! Thus, I'm proud to announce that I will be blogging photos a LOT more.
I should be doing a picture post these couple of days, so stay tuned for that. Like, ALL the photos from the past couple of centuries ago that are all still on my memory card uncleared.
That should be all. I shall go back to my sad, sad, sad life right now.
SOMEONE JIO ME OUT FOR NEXT WEEK PL0X. ):
kthxbai.
Friday, November 20 at 1:33 PM
Hey everyone.
Been totally neglecting my blog lately, sorry about that. Lately I've not exactly been very busy. This whole week never go out, so I don't have anything to blog about.
I stay at home and rot 90% of the time, watching classic movies like Aladdin and cute Pixar ones like Up and Wall•E. Once in a while I try to go to work, but I often end up oversleeping. (Like today and yesterday.)
Anyway, I'm going to do all my work today so my mum will be in a good mood when she comes back! (Pray la horh.) If she's in a good mood then I can ask her about next week's plans. If not really die siol.
Next week's plans (Busy week for me): Mon: Nothing so far ba, I think. Tues: Tuition. Wed: Out with Twinny! <3 Thurs: Hongsters sleepover, Day 1! Fri: Day 2! Sat: Day 3! (Till afternoon.) Sun: Lunch with Xiaofang Laoshi.
Pray that the queen comes home in a good mood. If not idk when I can ask her. She's always in a bad mood. And she needs to be in a good mood when I ask her about the sleepover. 3D2N leyh. And idk if my father will let.
*crosses fingers and prays* The other 2 hongsters already asked their parents, so if mine say no it's like MAJOR WTF.
Pleasepleasepleaseplease, Hongsters sleepover???
lyricking.
Wednesday, November 18 at 6:09 PM
it's just me here tonight, here alone against the light. there's no you, no us, it's just me. when will we get to be a 'we'? when will i get to kiss you? when can i stop missing you?
it's been eighteen hundred days your kiss still lingers, along with your embrace. it's been six months, and i don't want to miss you. but somehow i still do.
cuz' by now i'm so sick of waiting in the rain, so tired of screaming your name. so sick of sitting by the telephone, waiting for you to make me feel less alone. so if you're listening, please tell me that you're coming home. please say you're on your way home.
---
Unfinished song. Can't seem to continue. What do you think? Do you guys like it?
Oh, btw, help me think of a title for it, y'all! I can't seem to think of a title. And I don't want to call it So Sick or anything like that.
Best suggestions will get a song written for them! (Okay, lame prize. I'll let you know when I think of a better prize.)
Do help me think of titles for this song! Tag them or text me or MSN me or something yaaaa. (:
Peaceout. (:

wtfz.
livejournal is so much damn better than blogger.
blogger suck my ballz.
it's taking all my willpower right now not to move my private blog to blogger and my public one to lj.
rawr.
blogger, start improving! this is why you're losing all your users to onsugar and xanga and wordpress and livejournal!
sorry, random spam, please get on with your normal lives.
not that anyone reads my blog anyway. this is as good as a private blog, with the number of people reading.
and if you're there, this is for you.
at 5:16 PM
Losing my phone in May, I swear I cried for days on end.
Not because I lost everything - my music, photos, contacts. Yes, those were contributing factors, but what upset me the most were your messages.
Joel once told me to delete them and stop thinking of you. I told him I would do it when I was ready, when I was over you.
Loving you was like a smoking addiction. It was wrong for me, and wouldn't result in anything good for me at all, but I just couldn't stop. Let's say that even up till now, I still smoke a few sticks a day. I'm not aware of its presence and how much it hurts me, but it's there. And on nights I reminisce, I smoke more.
Okay, that was a lousy analogy. But I hope you get what I mean.
Losing those messages was the most painful thing for me. I'd saved all your messages to me, the ones you sent on that day, in a special folder. All the promises you made, all the reassurances that you loved me.
Perhaps it was because they were torn away from me, stolen without me letting go.
And it hurt me. Because that was all I had left of you. Even up till now, I wish I still had them, because it's all I had to cling on to, all that was left of you and me.
You promised you'd always take care of me. You broke it.
We're so similar, so alike in so many ways. In fact, you're almost exactly like me. That's why I loved you. But I think nobody other than me will ever in this life of mine realise how similar we are.
We might even be soulmates, with all those similarities...
---
I need to stop posting these emoish personal posts on my public blog. Maybe I should create a private lj/blog and let no one in...
anticipating.
Monday, November 16 at 8:27 PM
Will do a 2D dedication post soon, within this month. Once I find the strength and the self-discipline to do so and stop getting distracted by new music news.
Will also do a picture post soon, with all the memories.
Hongsters sleepover soon, am extremelyyyy looking forward to that.
Also, going to Yunnan with cousins. Though I'm upset I can't go for GZ camp because I'm coming back on the 11th, hey, I'll be with the closest family to me. (:
Going to the library with Sugarhoneyicedtea on Wednesday. I love her la! Whenever I need to go out, and she's free she'll just come no matter how ridiculous the timing or place. I'm so glad she got Bio instead of Physics (her 1st choice) and she's gonna be in 3C with me next year. <3
I want to go to Daiso and spend money! (LOL!) I also want to earn $100. I think I just need to go to work once more and I'll have hit the amount.
Still waiting for the pictures from the weekend from Wombat and Rosslynn. Hopefully Wombat sees my text and sends it to me by tomorrow. (:
And this is just a random post which you can just ignore and get on with your normal lives.
Thank you for listening.
cuz' there's no address in the stars.

Music: Atreyu - Tulips Are Better. Mood: Bored.
Hey beloved blogders. My apologies for the lack of updates these few days yeah. If you've been following my tweets you'll know that I had an extremelyextremely busy past three days. Hope you guys don't hold the lack of updates against me yeah. ((:
To make it up to you, here's a super long post on what I've been up to the last couple of days. (:
FRIDAY, 13 NOVEMBER. Friday the 13th. -.-
Anyway, woke up at 11.30 as usual. Headed to school and spent time in school.
After choir ended at 5.15 went to talk to Ms Yong.
Both of us went to the staff room because the Exco needed to help her take stuff from there.
Talk halfway, that bitch Pey come out of the staff room and kpkb about my hair. -。-
Sian la. Sibei suay. Before going to talk to Ms Yong I ran into Ms Cheryl Ng, and she also don't care. Then see that Ms Pey she kpkb until sibei jialat. -。-
She ask me what I'm doing in school with my hair colour like that. So I told her that I just came to talk to Ms Yong. (Yeah what, I was talking to her about officially quitting choir.) Then she kpkb a bit, then talktalktalk, ask some stuff like,"You are aware that you need to re-dye before coming back to school right?" something liddat la. I just kept nodding lorh.
After she walk away I super relieved siol.
Anyway, she says that she doesn't want to see me in school for the next 2 months until school reopens. HAHAHA. No problem man. I also don't want to go back. Even remedial and choir I pon all, what makes you think I'll go back to school willingly? I didn't even step into the school grounds until that day to talk to my CCA teacher, so what makes you think I want to go back to school? Please la, don't think I love school so much that I cannot bear to leave it for 2 months. I don't even want to go back after 2 months can? HAHAHAHAHA. Best joke of the century sia.
_|_
Anyway, after that talktalktalk to Ms Yong somemore, we walked down to level 2 HOD room there. Just about to finish our conversation when Mrs Chew came. So talked to her lorh. She asked me to think about the root of the problem and write a letter of reflection. She said that if I can tell her the root reason why I want to quit and why I hate choir now and blahblahblah she'll be happy to let me go.
Waited for dad at 372 bus stop, talked to Huining Er Jie on the phone, grumbling to her about Pey and having to write reflection letter and chatting about subject combis and her Os and such. Yay I love you Er Jie! (L)(L)
After that, dad gave Amanda and Denise a lift home because I happened to run into them at the bus stop. Went home after that.
Showered, ate a fish fillet, and headed for cell.
Got on the 112 to Kovan when I realised I forgot to bring my Bible. Go for cell never bring Bible. -。- However, by then it was too late to go back, because I wouldn't make it in time to meet Daryl and Jerome at Serangoon MRT. So I had to go without a Bible.
Reached the train platform of Serangoon and texted Daryl. Our texts crossed, and I received his saying he'd be 5min late and he received mine saying I was there already and asking him where he was. LOL!
Eventually met up at the control station after I went to buy some crackers to serve as my dinner. Waited for Jiawen, then headed to Yining's house.
Cell started very late, at about 8+, and Kaymond came even later, at 8.15. Played some random games because apparently Jerome was game master and he couldn't think of any other games to play. Ended up playing dai di with him, Jiawen and Yining. LOL!
Finished at around 10.30, Daryl's parents gave me a lift to the MRT. Thanks yeah! ^。^
Chatted on the phone with Afrah about the same things I talked to Er Jie about while waiting for my parents. Parents gave me a lift home. Homed at 11.
Had a talk with them about my quitting choir. -。- Understandably, they don't want me to quit. However, nothing and no one can stop me from quitting at this point. I've already made up my mind. Everyone tells me not to, and to just try it out. Well, I refuse. And to my parents, please respect my decision. Forcing me not to is not going to help anything. Please respect the fact that I made this decision and no one, not even any of you, is going to attempt to change it.
Slept at 1+, significant improvement! (Slept at 3+ the night before.)
SATURDAY, 14 NOVEMBER.
Didn't go for Creative today cuz' my Chinese tutor came at 9+ for tuition. Understandably, due to my sleeping at 1am and my usual waking-up time, I was unable to wake up. Thus, Sleepy went for class first while I got another 1 hour of sleep time. ^。^
After tuition, hung around, watched TV, read books until 2+.
Parents came to pick us up at 2+, headed over to Alicia Wombat's place.
Met up with the rest of the family at Wombat's place, and we split into two cars and drove to the HarbourFront jetty. Sat in Peggy's parents' car with Peggy, Wombat and Sleepy, Sleepy having the entire back row to himself and us three girls sharing the middle row.
Wombat's father owns a ship company, I think. Therefore, he let us use the boats to get there. He got us 2 boats, Alicia 92 and Alison 92.
Sat Alicia 92 (Wombat's boat!) with Peggy, Sleepy and her and three aunts and uncles.
The original plan was to head to Big Sister Island, but halfway through we decided to go to St. John's instead, so we headed off to St. John's Island.
Explored the place, and hiked for a while. (Wombat and I were right at the back protesting every step of the way.)
Eventually found this long stretch of road with the sea on both sides of it, and set up our picnic there. Had a great time munching of chips and drinking fizzy apple juice and taking random pics with Wombat's Samsung camera. Dad and Gwyn's father were flying the kites we got in Guangzhou. Very nice! One sotong kite and one penguin kite! Had fun watching the kites fly.
At about 5+ headed back to Singapore shores, boarded the boats.
After heading back to Singapore, went to Wombat's place for dinner.
The nasi lemak was okay, but I was too busy watching 爱 with all my aunts. Don't call me aunty okay! I think it's an addictive show. Every weekend, my granny, my mum and I will sit down in the living room and watch it. HAHA. I'm not an aunty okay! It's too addictive to stop watching.
After the show ended, headed up to Wombat's room for bonding time with the cousins.
We started playing stress! Hahaha. We made so much noise that my aunts had to come up a few times to get us to quieten down. Hahahahahaha. But it was so much fun la. Peggy is a blur sotong! Everytime both decks had the same card she still blurblur don't know wor! Haha.
Came down at 9.30 to watch 桃花小妹. Peggy didn't want to watch it, but we all dragged her down, so she watched it with us.
Homed at 11.50, slept at 12.30. Also early! ^。^

SUNDAY, 15 NOVEMBER.
The busiest and longest day among all three days, no competition.
Got up at 7.30. Was actually supposed to wake up at 7am, but had difficulty getting up so overslept.
Reached the Changi jetty late! Supposed to get there at 8am and I reached at 8.15! Everyone was waiting for me. Paiseh uh. >。<
Finally got to meet Rosslynn Affair and Yiyun Da Jie after so long! Missed them ttm.
Took the boat to Pulau Ubin, and settled down in the little cafe next to the jetty while waiting for the others to come in the other boat. Rosslynn had mee siam and everyone else just drank 100Plus, except for me. (I don't drink istonic drinks. They taste horrible.) I drank the only non-gasy drink there, peach tea.
Went to rent bicycles, then we were off!
Cycled for superrrrr long and superrrrr far. Idk how long bah. Haha. But it was really super long. Surprisingly, my leg muscles and ab muscles didn't hurt at all! But I think I've got bruises all over my ass. (Since it's so fat, I didn't think it'd get injured/cramped/bruised by the bicycle seat at all. But it did, and it bruised not on the ass cheeks but the bone there. So I have to sit on cushiony chairs now or it's supersupersuper painful.)
Went back to Singapore shores at 1+. Some stuff happened at the jetty, but I guess it was alright after that.

Went for lunch immediately prior to reaching Singapore! Xiaofang Laoshi went absolutely bonkers. We all ordered our own food already, then she came and ordered so much that our whole table was full of food! Here's what she ordered: - One plate of carrot cake - Three plates of don't know what (Chee cheong fun, I think.) - Two plates of hokkien mee.
Following that, Zhen Feng got everyone ice-kachang. So we were all stuffed to the max. We even had to play a game to finish all the food because there was so much food we couldn't finish.
Lompang-ed Xiaofang Laoshi home, then homed. Had a quick but thorough shower, then headed off to Creative for the make-up class because I missed my usual Saturday timing due to the St. John's Island saga. (Refer to above text for Saturday.)
Stupid roads were all jammed because of APEC, so Mum had to take an alternative road through all the posh Bukit Timah bungalows. (Envious ttm.)
Hehehehe. There was a hot guy in Dear's group! Can ask Dear. Even she says he's not bad. ^。^
Chatted with Dear for a while at the lift lobby. And her sister knows me! I'm so power! ^。^ We were talking in the lift, then her sister was like, asking Dear, "Is that Janelle?"
HAHAHA. Idk what she said about me, but at least she knows me okay!
After that, went home. And I didn't sleep! Went to AMK Hub and spent almost $100 on the tidbits at the food fair alone. Then went down to the a actual NTUC and spent another $20+ on other stuff.
Came home and cooked for our Japanese dinner feast!~
After dinner, watched 爱 again. Watched until it ended at 10pm, then went to shower and headed to bed at 10.30 because I was dead tired. Didn't sleep until 11+ because I couldn't sleep due to a number of reasons. Haha!
However, the minute I shut up and let my mind rest I fell asleep! ^。^
Long days for me. Didn't have a proper, sleep-till-11.30-sleep until this morning, when I woke up at 9am to use the toilet and went back to bed and finally woke up at noon.
Bytheway, to digress a bit, I'm addicted to relatively unknown songs lately. But I love them! Hahaha. Listen to them, look at the lyrics, try to decipher the meaning of the song, and tell me what you think of them yeah!
This is actually quite a well-known song back in the '60s or '70s, I guess. It's really old, but I like it. And Reba McEntire rarely performs this song, because it's so emotional and she breaks down whenever she sings it.
