Always my ma’am

“Harlie…?”

I searched her face. Familiar…

“This is Serene! From band, Newtown…?”

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ya! That’s it! Trombone section’s second in command!

MA’AM! I almost said, “Hello, ma’am”. She was my senior in band and I called her ma’am although she couldn’t have been one or two years older than me.

“Ahhh yes I remember,” I said “You look so different!”

“And you haven’t changed..!”

“So I still look gin-nah? Damn.”

“Eh you also go here ah? Good good see you around I’m going for my class now!”

MA’AM! Ten years on, she’s still my ma’am. Some things don’t change.

(Damn do I really still look the same? And if so… is this a necessarily good/bad thing?)

Back on the internet!

I had a problem with my EEE PC -no it wasn’t the blue screen of death- it would hang whenever I try to connect to the Internet! So reformatted it was, and the people at the service centre in Adelphi were very nice. I also bought a new battery as the old one was weak.

Anyway, I am in the market for a new laptop or desktop. I know this one won’t last long, judging by the way it kaputted right when it’s one-year warranty ended. The new netbooks do tempt me- they are so sleek, so shiny, and so much space in them too (mine’s 4GB… first generation mah wahlao makes it sound damn old).

But I realise that even with a laptop this light, I don’t take it out often enough to justify buying another netbook-kind-of-laptop, so what’s the point.

Eh why am I rambling about my tech-no-no-gy woes? When all I wanted was to say…

WOOHOOO I AM BACK ON THE INTERNEHS!

PS: Bahasa Melayu e-tutorials will resume in a couple of days. Lihat sini (see here).

Packing: Do I pack my swimsuit, or the laptop?

Should I go for a swim today?

But there’s the assignments…

Screw the assignments. I am going swimming.

All the singl*STRANGLES*

Maybe it’s the tune, or the fact that it makes me cringe whenever I hear it- I just can’t stand that ‘all the single ladies’ song by Beyonce.

Doesn’t help that my friend JY (who also doesn’t like the song, apparently) keeps on singing it, and even accompanies it with a dance! Le horreurs! (Smart alecks, I concede this may not be a real french word, and I admit I made it up).

So much for not liking the song hor JY! I still love you though. Thanks for organizing the yu-sheng last night! HUAT AH!

PS: Next time you want to pole dance at La Salle, make sure no one else is around, okay :P And please don’t endanger yourself (or my boyfriend) with silly rolling-downhill-games!

PPS: Thanks Audrey for the wax-crayon-heart! You should open shop.

Shopping

I was at Marina Square yesterday, window shopping, and I noticed that some shops don’t have mirrors IN the dressing room! It’s usually outside the dressing room…

where the salesgirl can fawn over you. Very nice, you should buy, very suit you!

Yah, very nice, I feel fat in this tsk, I should verrrry shoot you! Bang.

“Baby I will wait for you”

R, Sari, JY & I were at 7-11 when we heard this song. I sang along to the parts I knew (baby I will wait for you, haha) and then thought aloud- WHO SANG THIS SONG?

R said 98 degrees, I guessed the Backstreet Boys, Sari guessed N’Sync or Brian McKnight, JY was non-commital :p

Guess what guys, we were all wrong. HAHAHAHAHAH. So much for “sounds like a 90′s song” and “confirm it’s a black guy”, eh.

It’s Elliott Yamin lah, -I did my research Googled- of American Idol fame! (Thank you Blossom, for pointing out my mistake- Elliott with two t‘s, not one)

Nobody wins an Uncle LKY (not that Uncle LKY lah) golden-pineapple-nugget. Boo.

(EDIT: O HARLIE’s official CNY ’09 Pineapple-tart correspondent Mistah LFN reports that Uncle LKY golden-pineapple-nuggets are officially Out Of Stock.)

Oh, and…

Gong xi fa cai! Ma shang fa cai! :D

To all my Ox friends… damn we gettin’ old people!
