Ooh.. christmas is finally over! I'm kinda glad actually.
It's not that i hated christmas or anything, but it's just that i didn't quite feel like celebrating christmas the usual way. I didn't feel very christmassy, so Leonard and i have agreed to celebrate quietly without all the hoo haas that comes along with the festive mood.
Haha! we had the log cake, the honey baked ham with apple sauce orcranberry sauce, and my favourite Leonard brewed chicken soup!
In fact, i haven't really gotten around exchanging much pressies with my friends, because i was too tied up with council matters to even go shopping! Before i realised it, Wham! it's Christmas week! and i was like "oh my gawd, oh my gawd" i' haven't gotten anyone anything!
Ha ha, so i ran around like a mad woman, frantically shopping for pressies for mommy, bro, sis and dad, Leonard, and his parents and etc.
I was totally clueless about what to get for everyone, as i haven't had much time to even think about it. Therefore i was desperate. hiak hiakhiak.
Luckily, my best friend dropped the news about her being broke, so she decided on not participating on out annual present exchange thing. Sigh...
And Leonard told me he was broke too, guess einstein spent too much on his car.. But i didn't mind, as long as we spend the day together, i didn't mind not getting any presents.
i guess shopping for presents was a one day thingie. It's relatively fast and easy, except for my dad's pressie! It's so difficult to get a pressie for him, that it's way easier to step into the kitchen to whip up a sumptous meal, than to get something for him. (i'm speaking from a kitchen retard's point of view)
I was desperate. a list of stuff flew across my head.. Handkerchief, personalised lighter, wallet, shirt, socks, bag blah blah..
but Fussy dad doesn't wear shirts without pocket coz he wouldn;t be able to put his ciggies and pen in there... and mommy wouldnt allow me to get any ciggies related items like ash tray, lighter blah blah..but a smokers patch would be good news for mom, bad news for dad. Ha ha sensitive issue, therefore smoking equipments are avoided..bah!
Eventually, being super desperate and all, i've settled for a not so fancy shirt, and hankies...just as i was about to pay for those items, i came across this thing, i was like *ding!* euraka! A leather wallet, that comes with a matching leather swiss arm knife. Cool huh?
Hee hee hee!
After paying for the pressie and all, i asked if there's a wrapping counter, and horrors to horrors, there isn't one, and it's already christmas eve! argh!!!!!
i ended up wrapping it myself, at the counter. i wonder if anyone would mistake me as the wrapping girl Bleah!
Ha Ha.
I got mommy a pressie two days before the christmas eve. Nearly wanted to get her a camisole set and a thong, but we ended up getting her a white top. and sis and i just chose what we want, haha.
well, though we've decided not to get each other a pressie, i've still decided to get Leonard a tee shirt, and a door stopper with a dog sitting on it, nothing much, just got them coz i thought it's nice, and cute.
but guess what happened? He lied about not getting me a pressie! I ended up getting a Guess watch that i liked for Christmas! It's like so pricey, and i feel so bad, with him being broke and all, he shouldn't have bought the watch. I'm happy, but sad at the same time. Such dilema ha ha ha.
i had a bracelet form Muchas from his mommy. It has cats! the entire charm bracelet was filled with kitties! yay! i absolutely love meow meows!
There's also the book that i've gotten from Michelle, titled " why man can only do one thing at a time, and women never stop talking." Ha ha. So sweet about her.
I absolutely love Christmas, but this particular one so happens to be a really busy one, which killed the joys alittle.
i had Council meeting on 23rd dec,
went to print banner for the coming orientation on 24th dec,
and today, i went to check on the embroidery for the council tee in the afternnon.
Not much of a life recently. Boo!
I wonder if it's just me, or does everyone agree that Christmas ain't like Christmas anymore. The seasonal festive mood ain't there. Everything seems so quiet, so unfestive like. Holidays just don't feel the same anymore. =(
Well. to make up for the lack of festive mood, i drew a christmas tree on my hand with henna dye! i like it, but mommy says it looks like i've gotten my hands all dirty. Bah! she lacks the creative juices to appreciate the cute chrissy tree on my hands!
I'm itching to stick a pair of reindeer antlers on pix!e, like what they did to the hamsters in the scrooge show. So cute!!!! but if i really do it, pix!e will end up being really pissy with me. Ha haha.
I want a pair of reindeer antlers hairband too! can't seem to find it anymore.But nevermind.....
currently, im filled to the brim with dinner. We had cold crab today, with other blah blah food for christmas dinner today. I'm full, so it's time to snoooze snooze now..
Merry Christmas people!!
Yo People,
Look! i've gotten myself a tagboard! Drop me a hi in the tagboard, when u read this, so i'll know who are the nice people who's been reading my blog! *chang Chang* haha
Da is amazed about how erm "colorful" my blog is. She thought all the colorful font was generated by the template! Chey! i'm taking the credit for the colorful fonts alright! it's me! daphne, the great color co-ordinator! Hiak Hiak hiak!
i'm supposed to be asleep, but im waaaayy too hyper to be asleep! From all the hyper maniac dancing i had earlier at zouk!
What's worst, is that i've gotta get my flabby ass to school at 9 tomorrow!
I discovered that looking after lil' bro ain't an easy job. lost my patience, and the lil monkey pissed Leonard off, by getting his finger prints all over the car.. including the roof.What's worst, was that leonard just waxed the car all by himself, and it's all ruined.
But the poor silly kid has no idea what wax is mah, so im like so stucked in a dilema!
it's difficult to explain to a kid what a car wax is, and why it's important for the car.. and the amount of hardwork my boyfriend invested in it.
sigh... It's a bad bad situation.
I feel bad, yet there's nothing i can do, except to redeem myself by volunteering to wax the car?
But mr nice, the mazda lover says "no need".Hee hee, See my darling so nice.. don't want me to wax his car ..(probably because his afraid that i'll do a bad bad job in redeeming the disaster, so sad)
It's only the second day that mommy's gone, and i'm already missing her!
Boo! I want my mommy back! i hate having to worry about the lil' boy's meals. I made him lunch, watered and fed him well, while i went around with an empty stomach, ( i know i could have eaten too, but 12.30pm is too early for my tummy to function).
What's worst, there's the constant phone call that i get from my aunt! she calls me many times a day to check that my brother is alright, to check if his 2 sisters ain't mistreating him by starving him or dehydrating him!
Any more calls from her, and i'll personally send the lil' boy into her hands, so that she'll stop calling, and i'll be able to enjoy myself! Hiak hiak Hiak!
It's sad alright, i woke up like damn early, to make lunch for him! Only to end upwith burnt fingers and a big mess in the kitchen.
The cheese melted onto the toaster, hardened..and i had a hard time cleaning up the hardened burnt cheese.
Boo! my life as a maid is pathetic! i think i make a bad house hold maid!
i want my mommy back!!! Boo boo!
*chang chang* I've decided that there would be no more cheese in my homecooked meals! I'm buying lunch and dinner back from now on! BaH!
im tired. zz.zzzzz.....
I haven't been blogging for days! Well these few days happens to be enriching to me.
For instance, i've learnt to take things easy, be it school work, life on the overall, and human beings.
Another thing that i've learnt, is always to trust what my instincts tells me. Such as, if gut feeling tells me that a particular person should be placed in my category of "permanant list of people who pissed me off". To think about the fact that i was just reconsidering putting her into my list of "semi/temporary pissy list." a few days ago. Unfortunately for this creature... she's just ruined her last chance with Daphne.
Haha.
Leonard says that i'm an angry girl, full of hatred and anger in me. But i guess what he doesn't know is that i need to bitch, to get it out of my system. He feels that it's not quite right to be cursing and swearing about other people in such a bad manner, and that i need anger managment help. But seriously, i think the world would be a better place without them!
why can't anyone just understand how i'm feeling, and just agree with me fullstop? - like ya, i think she shoul just die, instead of attempting to save them by defending them? I don't think they are worth it! hmpf!
i mean, just give me my way, and everything's gonna be fine and dandy!
School sounds like an eye opener. Weird people i've met for the past 6mths. It's sad, but of course, there's the nice people too! Being typical me, i'm only gonna complain about the bad ones, and keep the good ones to myself! i'm selfish and all ya know! haha!
Mommy's off to Hong Kong later, and i guess it'll be hell for me for the next 5 days, having to take charge of lil' bro. It's a huge responsibility that i hate shouldering!
I'll have to start planning the days with my sis, to share out equally the task of caring for little bro. Probably will have to start with dinner tomorrow, then bring him out on wed to do whatever errands Leonard and i have for the day, then bring him along for dinner over at NYDC for Winston's birthday..( hopefully Winston wouldn't mind) and bring him back home, make him sleep..then rush over to Zouk. Since both da and i would be going to zouk, the best option would be to make him sleep early! hahaha..
Then i gotta get my ass to school for yet another orientation meeting on Thursday, then prolly go rollerblading with Da, and boy and Leonard. It's time that lil' bro of mine get a tan man! He looks like tofu! What's worst,is the fact that he's a boy! The thought of a tofu boy, gives me the shudders. Thoughmy own BF is fair as snowwhite. But it's a different kind of fair to start with. * Grinz*
No idea what i'll be doing with the little boy for fri and saturday.. but i'll think about it! haha.
Aha! mumsy will be back on the 18th, and daddy will be back on the 19th! The both of them would be having a little secret rendevous in HongKong for a night or a day.. despite having different work schedules! Bleh! But i guess the both of them deserve the break from family affairs!
Hee Hee!
Oh man, im starting to fancy my hair, but i still think it's alittle too overly layered. i like the way my hair curls naturally... makes it look like bird's nest! Unfortunately, the layers, makes it impossible for me to tie up my hair! imagine how uncomfortable and inconvenient it is for me when i wash my face, and when i'm roller blading. No more sporty look for me, until my hair grows back.
I'll have to make do with the.. Jappy style look! Doesn't help that i've got beady eyes, it makes me even more Nihonjin looking. Though nothing beats mommy's looks! hahahah She's totally Jappy loooking man, and i've only inherited half the nihonjin look, yet im chinese! Bah.
I wonder if it's good or bad?
Some times it's fun, but sometimes it's shit! For starters.. i cant stand their clashy taste of polka dots with stripes kind of fashion. Bad color matching skills! Bah....
so i guess it's bad! hiak hiak hiak! *wink*
Results are finally out today. Turns out that i've passed 2 subjects with credits, and failed the other 2 . i'm Feeling shitty now. I'm actually thinking of going over to school to appeal about my results, though it doesn't seems like an easy task.
Apparently, from what i've heard from seniors, i'll have to go through an interview, if i fail more than 2 subjects, which is like now?
shit man! i hate my results! it's like so near to passing, but yet so far from passing!
Guess it'll be more disappointing for my mommy, coz she'll be upset to know that i've failed again? And it'll come with the usual package of "see la.. play play play, never study", or " waste time la" etc etc. Sad..But i guess i'll have to accept my fate, and swallow the humilation that comes along with failures. Boo!
Feeling stupid, and i can't help cursing and swearing about my results! it's like so ..so..Stupid!! Re-taking will be a waste of time, since i've gotten so close to passing, and a waste of money as well! Urgh! im mad at myself, mad at how everything turns out to be, and it's so frustrating!
I guess the most frustrating part would be where you're feeling helpless, and at the mercy of whoever he might be. There's totally nothing you can do to save yourself, but yet you can't take it lying down! What am i supposed to do?
I'm upset! boo! Guess i'll just have to blame it on a Bad day? I hope tomorrow turns out to be a better day, and who knows, the school might be feeling charitable. Ya know, let me pass or something, provided that i do extra assignment or sub paper or something? i really wouldn't know. It'll be good, but it's as good as a person sitting around, waiting for diamonds or money to drop from the sky.
Sigh..guess the best i can do, is to hope for the best and shut up. And to be thankful that i'm still alive or something like that. Sigh.
Hey!I've finally gotten myself a haircut, after what seem like a million years of trotting around Singapore with blunt straight hair, all thanks to Stupid izoc, who was supposed to keep to his promise, and layer my hair for me. But no, some people never remember them. Rather, they chose to procrastinate. He owes me a layer for the hair, as well as hair treatment for both my sister and i! Now you know why im so mad at him!
I've sure made up my mind, not to help him in future, should he require any hair model.
In my world of morals, if a person gave his word upon something, he'll have to fulfill it, or risk losing my trust and confidence. I simplyDespise people who come up with excuses to slime their way out of the stuff that they have promised! Urgh! it's purely disgusting.
Anyway, i was persuaded to layer my hair while Leonard was having his haircut. i relented, after like after 5 mins of persuasion. Lousy self discipline i have! Hee.
Anyway, this new haircut of mine looks pretty alright, but i just can't seem to agree with it, and i wonder why. Perharps, it wasn't what i have in mind.
You see, for the past 1 year or so, i've been keeping the simple, classic, feminine look. But now, it's classic not more. this new hairstyle of mine leans towards the funkier, jappy look, if u ask me. It's not that i'm not brave enough to face changes, but just simply doesn't fit into the style that i've planned for the next few seasons.
Granted that it doesn't exactly make me look hideous, but it does give a different edge of style with this new haircut. I can't exactly put a word to why i'm upset with the new style, but i guess it's more of a feeling that i get from the salon instead?
I guess right from the start it might be because of the bad service i had from the shampoo girl.
she treated my hair like some filthy seaweed, and scalded my scalp while drying my hair with the hair dryer, and whipped my face with my fringe, while drying my hair. With such insolent service, how can i ever possibly forgive her? heeheehee
Then again, i don't recall ever having satisfactory feeling, whenever i step out of that salon.
I remembered my first bad experience with the salon 2 years back, when i was having my diploma show. i went over to the salon, to get my hair done for the occassion. Both my friend and i envisioned ourselves with simple classic chignon or plait or french bun etc. Unfortunately for us, we stepped out of the place with a snail like shell bun for my friend, and i ended up looking like medusa. Oh gawd! it's embarassing to even recall that particular day.
My second encounter would be last saturday, when i had my hair cut. It's definitely a better experience as compared to the first time, but it's definitely not a i-feel-happy-/i- think-it-made-me-look-good kinda feeling.
I started wondering, why is it that the hairstylist is able to create wonders for my boyfriend and his brother, and create a not so satisfactory effect on me?
After much thoughts, i've concluded that each designer, artist stylist, can bring out their personality and style onto their work of art. It's like how my friends would always comment that i've this particular style for my choice of clothing or item. It simply spells Daphne, pretty obviously. "It's so you girl," they would say.
So if i were to style a model, or pick out a gift, there would be a certain amount of "Daphne" flavor in the item, or person. So the same goes for hairstylist i guess? Which means you'll have to get a hairstylist that you agree on visually, before you allow the stylist to cut or color your hair or whatsoever.
Not every stylist suits your style, and the lesson is, no matter how adventurous you are, stick to your own stylist that you're comfortable with. It's a bond that's hard to explain, but at least you'll leave the place happy and confident.
For now, i'll just have to sit around, and wait for my hair to grow. Though it seems like forever, i guess i'll wanna make myself feel better, by treating myself to highlights! hee hee *wink*

** It's not leonard's fault that my hair looks fluffy and short now, coz i chose to cut it, and it's so nice of him to pay for me.
***Neither was it the hairstylist's fault that i'm unhappy with the hairstyle, coz she cut what was best for me, and did a good job on my BF.
****I'll have to understand that MR procrastinator izoc is simply Too BUSY to remember his promises
*****The salon is just not suitable for me, and im uncustomed to their services, or perharps im simply too spoilt by my own salon, or im just plain Biased.
Oh well, these few days without blogging, has been great!
With the generousity of My Boyfriend's Parents, Wednesday's main highlight of the day was the chance to watch Mama Mia! at the Esplanade. It's awesome, and spectacular! Too bad, they didn't have the play in VCD or DVD, or i'll sure to get it for my mommy or something!
I was due at Zouk for my weekly dose of mambo after the play, but the queue was Freaking long, that i've decided against mambo for the good of my well being.
Imagine, having to swap your perspiration, rub on some yucky smelly guy's sweat onto your skin! Ewuuuuu! it's so gross! Not forgetting the agony of being throttled on with people who dances with 2 left feet. These people are really harzardous!
They should like have a "P" plate pasted on them too, to warn other fellow dance floor groovers to stay clear from them! It's only courteous, ya know?
Therefore, it's a wise choice to declare that i've decided on having house party this Christmas, rather than to hit the pubs and clubs! No way! it's totally unglam! urgh.... *spit & splatter*
But i guess the highlight of the week was Leonard's Long awaited Mazda 3! Naturally, We're all glad and excited that it's finally arrived. But u simply would just be appalled at how long it took us to collect the vehicle, and what bad service we had from this particular sales rep. I felt like strangling him personally, even though, it wasn't my car! It's that bad! Bah!
Naturally, all his friends were excited about the arrival of his Car, and we went for a joy rides, had many suppers in one night at different location with different group of people, and the different comments of what seems a million times of going through the same routine of... i think i wanna change this, i think the engine sounds funny, i thought the brakes made a loud noise... blah blah blah...
My Mister Leonard, finally believed that most of those funnny sounds was just simply a fragment of his imagination! True that it Purrs, when the vehicle comes alive, but one just can't simply expect a silent machine don't we? Ha Ha!
Funny, all this excitement got me thinking about how guys treat their cars as their prized possesion, and talk about it with such fervour that you'll simply swear you see a spark in their eyes, the minute the topic about cars is raised upon. I guess, that it'll be the same for girls and their wardrobes, shoes, bags, cosmetics etc!
Whatever it is, i guess it'll be more profound, for girls to understand the need for the car to have smoked lights, or eye lids for the car, or even a shorter antenna. But if you mention Gucci, Prada or whatsoever brand, the guys would never understand why we spend like thousands on stuff like a cute bag, or hundreds on a pair of killer stilleto heels!
Well, i cant believe that i was actually jealous of the car. I wouldnt hear of anything to do with the improvement, refurnishing of the car, and if any money was intended to be allocated to the eyelids of lights of the car, i'll get extremely upset!
Hey, think about it, i might be a green eyed PMS-sy girl, and it's probably daft to even think in such a manner, but at that moment, i simply could not see how anyone being excited to pay to "improve" the outlook of the car, and yet, no one was willing to give me the money to mayb have cosmentic sugery like whacking your nose, to reshape your nose, or whiten my teeth or something like that? ya know, something to beautify me! After all, i'm human, and the car's machine, why should it get more attention than me????
Ha ha! see girls are such unpredictable and unreasonable creatures, coz im totally fine with it now! la la la!
After all that travelling today, im tired. need to sleep. I'm seriously lacking of sleep. I barely slept for 2-3 hours before i had to rush out, for the Council Meeting for Orientation! Shagged out man! brain's not functioning well anymore. Shall update soon! Stay tune!
