Day 11 - Your top three favourite bands.

Prizes for guessing who :)

Happy April Fools' Day, anyway! Go fool some fools.

Day 10 - Talk about your pets, or the pets you would like to have.

Never had a pet that I could genuinely call my own, but my family has kept countless of goldfishes and guppies, a humongous luo han fish whose brain is one-tenth of its size (it banged its head against the tank to death), a handful of what they call it "eat shit" fishes, two terrapins and now my sister keeps a fighting fish. Mostly marine animals.

What I'd call 'my pets' would be anything I adopt, living or non-living, real or imaginary. I like living in my own world for awhile sometimes.

Googled 'Seath Enzo Xackery' with my fingers crossed and voila!

This is Seath Enzo Xackery, my long lost pet rag doll. It was a souvenir from Felicia back in Sec 2. I hung him on my pencil case to keep him close, but that got his clothes stained easily from my stationeries and wherever I chucked my pencil case at, so I gave it weekly showers and it smelt pleasant :) That reminds me, the dishwasher asked me what perfume I used today 'cause I smelt nice, but guess what? I wasn't wearing any perfume today :3 Ok back to the main point. I don't recall where I placed him to dry after his last shower two years ago, but one day, I wish to spot him at a corner of my room and give it one more shower to wash away the dirt and the hurt I've caused for neglecting him for so long. Then we'll live happily ever after.

"Meet Minnie.

She's one fat cat and she doesn't run after mice at the sight of 'em. Now, that explains why. But she has the gentlest purr and charming, blueish-gray eyes that gaze so deep into yours it makes you wonder if she can read your mind. Perhaps she does, except she doesn't really respond to it."

She was introduced to me in November. She's not mine, but we live in the same estate. She's not mine, but I'd take her home and hug her to sleep if I could. She's not mine, nor yours, but I'd very much like to call her ours. Every night, I'd take an awkward route home, just to walk past the playground, in hope to spot her curling herself up underneath the bench as always, but to no avail for months.

I miss her very much. I hope she's in safe hands, or at the very least breathing. Won't you come back already, Minnie?

Left to right: Horni, Tardy, Lammy.

Horni was my first pet cactus. He was a Christmas gift from Wingleng. No, it's not just a plant. It's my pet, because I talk to it and because he actually meant something. You were my listening ear, and you meant something. He lasted for 3 months. I promised to bury it by the beach, where I can keep its presence at least, but Mom threw it down the rubbish shoot when I was unaware, because she knew how attached I was to it and that I'd never bear to throw it away. I was too used to having you as a best friend for me to discard this friendship despite the endless disputes. Horni was holding on to his last breath by then and she said it's inauspicious to have something dying in the house so she did what she did. Horni was dead and gone. Our friendship was dead and gone.

But I got over Horni's death. Once again, we crossed the hurdle. You accompanied me to the plant farm to buy me new pet cactuses, where we found Tardy and Lammy after much of my fickle-mindedness. They lived, at least for more than 3 months, that is. Things seemed to be going well, but I emphasize on the word 'seemed'. Tardy and Lammy were healthy and strong. The bond between us was tight. As time passed and as my schedule started filling up, I gave up watering them. They didn't seem to crumble like Horni did though. They still lie on my desk, in front of the tv. Their complexions don't look too healthy, but hey, they're still alive. They're still there, yet they're not. You're still there, but there's no You anymore.

To my dear cactuses: If you ever see this, all I wanna say is... I'm sorry that I drowned you on certain weeks and dehydrated you on the rest. I'm sorry I don't have green hands. I'm sorry I failed you. I'm sorry I didn't fight hard enough to keep you.

They're all dead and gone. I wish I could've guarded them better and kept them alive. I wish things didn't die so easily in my hands. I wish.

Don't judge me after reading this post okay. I'm not mentally unstable or brain-damaged, I'm still sane. Hahahahah. Like what Gerald said, it's just me to grow attached to things easily.

Day 9 - Favourite meme at the moment.

What is a meme?

"A meme ( /ˈmiːm/^[1]) is a unit of social information.^[2] It is a relatively newly coined term and identifies ideas or beliefs that are transmitted from one person or group of people to another. The concept comes from an analogy: as genes transmit biological information, memes can be said to transmit idea and belief information.

A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, which can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes, in that they self-replicate, mutate, and respond to selective pressures.^[3]

The word "meme" is a shortening (modeled on "gene") of mimeme (from Ancient Greek μίμημα Greek pronunciation: [míːmɛːma] mimēma, "something imitated", from μιμεῖσθαι mimeisthai, "to imitate", from μῖμος mimos "mime")^[4] and it was coined by the British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976)^[1][5] as a concept for discussion of evolutionary principles in explaining the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena. Examples of memes given in the book included melodies, catch-phrases, fashion, and the technology of building arches.^[6]

Advocates of the meme idea say that memes may evolve by natural selection, in a manner analogous to that of biological evolution. Memes do this through the processes of variation, mutation,competition, and inheritance, each of which influencing a meme's reproductive success.

Memes spread through the behaviors that they generate in their hosts. Memes that propagate less prolifically may become extinct, while others may survive, spread, and (for better or for worse)mutate. Memes that replicate the most effectively spread best. Some memes may replicate effectively even when they prove to be detrimental to the welfare of their hosts.^[7]

A field of study called memetics^[8] arose in the 1990s to explore the concepts and transmission of memes in terms of an evolutionary model. Criticism from a variety of fronts has challenged the notion that scholarship can examine memes empirically. Some commentators^[who?] question the idea that one can meaningfully categorize culture in terms of discrete units."

As far as I've read this entire paragraph, I still don't know what the hell a meme is, but I like me and that's my favorite me :-)

[Edit/ 1.10am]

Ok I just surfed google and I (finally) found a site that states that an example of a meme can be in a form of a list of questions which you saw from somewhere else and decided to answer the questions, then someone else sees them and does them and so on. Something like a chain effect. K my favourite meme would be the first 30-day challenge I did back in July then.

Wtf lol.

This is my secret.

Dear you,

I know you still read my space, but you don't know I still read yours. Thought I forgot? You thought wrong.

Time to cool down wasn't what I needed. It's my fear of facing you, because everything I said or did hurt you in a way or another, and I knew there wasn't much of a chance to turn back. All my life, I've been running away, but I guess I've nowhere else to run to anymore, so this is it, I'm stopping to catch a breath. Now, don't you run away.

Forgive my rashness, insensitivity, negligence and basically all of my flaws. I'm ready to listen when you're ready to speak.

I'm sorry.

Speaking about your space, my stomach's calling out to me.

Day 8 - Are you a fitness guru or a couch potato? Talk about your exercise habits.

Couch potato. Period.

Walking counted as exercising???? :)

Day 7 - How you came across tumblr, and how your life changed since joining.

I can't recall how I came across tumblr. All I remember is that all of a sudden, tumblr became the hot topic, but I was like, "Meh, what's so fun about reblogging pictures?"

Early this year, I happened to have a casual conversation with Daniel about his artworks, so I suggested for him to create a tumblr as a gallery to post up his artworks for others to reblog, and at the same time, I was tempted to create one for myself. Moreover, everything else on the internet was starting to be a bore, so I resorted to something new to keep me entertained.

It changed my life for a month, but I'm not saying how. I wish I hadn't created tumblr, yet I don't regret it. It's complicated, really.

Day 6 - Your favourite season, and why.

Winter! That goes without saying. And I'm proud to say that I actually know what winter's like rather than those people who claim to like winter but have no freaking idea how winter feels like. (That would be me in the past actually, HAHAH)

Winter, because I love snuggling in thick, comfy knit wears and I get to wear my beanie (!!!!!!) which I hardly even get to wear in this tropical country, and because it's mad hot over here everyday so having to feel chilly for once feels kinda great.

I miss Taiwan like hell, and The Nuasterz.

Day 2 - Talk about your piercings or tattoos, if you have any.

I had my first pair of piercings done when I was three years old and they kept me occupied to distract me from the pain with a packet of Oreo cookies. I finished the cookies before they pierced it though so I ran away after one ear was pierced and they had to chase after me in a shopping mall to get my other side pierced. HAHAH.

Today, I had two other piercings done on my left ear lobe, and it kinda looks like that:

Can't really be seen but it's actually a ★ and a ♥.

Fel went first, followed by me, Jiaying and then Joelle. Our eyes were fixed on Fel when the piercer(?!?) held the gun. *CHK*! Her face turned expressionless, followed by a trial of laughter, and then she answered a call from her mom asking for her bra size. -.- For me, the pain was stinging like hell for the first few seconds but it subsided after a couple of minutes. Jiaying had her helix pierced and it's seemingly the most painful one 'cause it's at the bone area but she was fine. Joelle was like *facepalm*. She clutched on to Fel's hand so tightly and kept moving away from the gun. The previous time she had an injection, she started beating the doctor up. LOL. But the piercer was really friendly and he entertained us throughout although we were being a nuisance by spamming a million questions about piercings. Such a pleasant ear-piercing experience. ^^

Can't wait to wear my pastel ear studs after it heals.

Day 5 - Tell us your three favourite colors.

None of my belongings are orange and I don't use the colour orange often either, but it's my favourite colour. No reason why. It just brightens up my day.

I love all shades of blue actually, but this one especially because it's brighter and it resembles turquoise. They're all equally beautiful. Gives a soothing feel.

Black's like an essential colour, you can never go wrong with it, but I hate jet black. It's just too much of black for me. Thus, I prefer this shade that's close to black, except it's gray. (Btw, I read it up somewhere that grey represents lighter shades while gray represents darker shades.) It's also the colour of my favourite low back skater dress :)

You can check out the list of colours here. Pretty interesting.

Day 4 - Write about your closest friend(s).

Felicia: I like how she's not afraid of being herself and her strong-hearted personality. I've never known a girl so special like her. #thatonefriend who indirectly insulted me on the first day of school, but #thatonefriend I'll remember for as long as I live.

Joelle: She takes on a double job of being a listening ear and an advisor. Need I say more?

Jiaying: This girl has been so busy with her boyfriend and Idk what lately. Haven't seen her for so long that I've forgotten how laughing at her lame jokes/comments feels like. Ng Jia Ying, come back to us already.

The Family: There's Keith, Brandon, Ryan, Zhukang, Adam, Azkhairy, Faustina, Wencai, Chernyue, Jay, Stella G, Stella K, Huimin, Germaine, Humaira, Badai, Clement, Yanzhou and Jiyu. We come from different backgrounds, we have our own lives to lead and some of us don't even meet for weeks, but no matter how different or far apart we are, we share something in common, and that's how it feels to have friends that are like family.

(not really an appropriate picture but it's the only one with all of four of you)

Junjie: We don't have HTHTs, we bicker at the sight of each other, we call each other names always, but we're still tight. So happy that I didn't lose you. Love chu, PB :)

Joshua: "I don't want you to smile for me, or any of your friends for that matter. I want you to smile for yourself, because you're happy with who you are, because you know that so many people love you for who you are and because you don't need to change anything about yourself. Don't smile for me 'cause I don't want that."

These words mean a lot to me. Thank you, for being the only one who tells me to smile, but not for them. Thank you, for staying by me and being a pig with me, instead of minding that I'm one.

Wingleng: I miss you, Lummy. Haven't had a proper conversation with you for quite awhile. Breakfast someday?

Shannon: Idk how we even got close in the first place at all, but you'll always make my day. Ok, actually I do remember how we got close. It started out when you started hitting my head with a paper bat during one of those sec 1 assembly days. Whaaafork?! Absolutely random, but I'm glad it happened.

Jux Keydingz: Every single one of you, I love; Stella, Zul, Bertrand, Hajar, Felicia, Alita, Taiming, Jianhao, Chongwei (who's not in the picture). We're faded and gone, but thnk fr th mmrs. I still enjoy your company most.

Gerald: Although I haven't seen his retarded face for a couple of months, we do still communicate on a nightly basis on msn/fb. He'd tell me about his problems, and I'd tell him about mine. It amazes me how we can still keep this friendship going even when we don't hang out at all. But, I'll finally be meeting him the week after next. Gon' greet him with a great, big hug fo'sho. See you soon, b.

When you're not around I wish somehow that you can feel me.

Woke up at 2-ish after being lectured by Tonkatsu for cancelling my schedule, but whatever. Hate that woman. As annoying as a loose thread on my shorts that dangles and tickles my leg.

Found Brandon at a corner of Borders, dropped by Mac's for a quick bite, saw a couple of 4F'11 girls at the bus stop and Kaini stopped to kope my fries like three times (so cute lah, that girl), rotted at Keith's house while torturing him by plucking his leg hair (for a good reason) and watching Youtube videos like the parody of 'Friday', 'Saturday' (alarm clock's ringing 'cause it's an alarm HAHAH), Faus grew addicted to 'Friday', dinner at Banquet, spent the remaining of the night at Timezone where they spent ten bucks on the machine trying to win the PSP (but Faus was really good), tripped and broke my favourite pair of sandals, hide(from me)-and-seek at the bus stop and I chased Brandon barefooted.

Fun, fun, fun! :)

Day 3 - Your favourite television programme.

(Shall skip Day 2 first until after I've pierced my 2nd and a probable 3rd piercing on Saturday with my bbgs. ^^)

I've stopped watching television programmes ever since primary 5, so there isn't much I can choose from, but I'd say my favourite television programme would be 流星花园 (Taiwanese version), with F4 and 大S as the main casts, 'cause it left me with the deepest impact. I cried whenever 道明寺 and 董杉菜 couldn't be together. I'd play the songs from the OST daily, especially 情非得已 by Harlem Yu and Make A Wish by 仔仔. I remember how I'd struggle to keep my eyes open until 10pm just to catch the episode, but of course, times have changed and 3am is the new 10pm. I'd struggle to sleep instead now. Oh, and I'd record the episode too for back up just in case I fall asleep halfway, which I always do.

Second favourite would be 西街少年 (casted by 5566)!

And yes, I love Taiwanese drama.

Miles don't mean anything

And I've been unable to get you away to talk about the things I wish I could say.

Do you know your worth? Because everyday I pray for your words.

Zhuks rang me halfway through dindin just now telling me that he, Brandon and Ryan were rotting at Roxy Sqaure, so I went over to cure join in their boredom. Their attempt to hide from me was a terrible failure 'cause I could hear Brandon talking so loudly from afar. -.- I don't know how or when but it became 'S' for leader, so I suggested to lepak at ECP. The journey there could've taken us fifteen minutes but they made it last an hour 'cause they kept pangsehing me halfway and I had to stop a gazillion times to look for or run after them. Stopped for 1for1 bbt too, but the pearls tasted horrible.

At ECP, Brandon and Ryan sat on the breakwaters while Zhuks and I hung around along the coast while having a mini sand barrier building competition to protect us from the rising tides. Zhuks' barrier was like an undefeated fortress while mine was as fragile as egg shell. Collapsed after one big wave :( Brandon and Ryan finally decided to quite gaying around on their own and came down to join us. All four us merged forces and built this super massive sand barrier. Undefeated champion ^^... which was eventually still defeated after a few big waves. And then we attempted to built this single-boob-looking structure in the middle of nowhere, but there was severe undercutting due to the waves, so our mission failed once again. Keith joined us shortly after. Continued the night rotting by the beach, but the breeze was shiok.

Oh, and Zhuks' slippers got swept away by the waves so he went home barefooted. HAHAH. What an eventful night :)

P/s: I have bites all over me and my thighs have been aching.

Day 1 - Your middle name, and how you feel about it.

Lovin' Day 1. Not everyone can do this post. ^^

Ann;

People tend to be mistaken about my middle name. They'd be like, "so are you Sarah or Ann?!?!" or "I've never heard of a surname like yours" and I'd be like "dood I'm both and Ann's not my surname." And there are people who make jokes about it, like, "You're Sarah Ann (and) what?"

But, I love my middle name. It gives me some sort of identity. Like, I'm not just a Sarah. I'm The Sarah Ann kinda thing. But most importantly, I'm The Sarah Ann Oying. (; TROLOLOLOL. Ok ignore me I'm just fascinated by my own middle name lol.

Why Ann? Both my grandmothers, paternal and maternal, were coincidentally nicknamed Anna in their younger days, so Pops and Momsie decided to give me a middle name in honour of them both, but they thought Anna sounded weird so they cut it short to Ann.

Yup. That's the story of my life.

Perhaps this will get me somewhere, again- just anywhere but here. A month to untangle this mess, a month to sort things out. Here goes.

Hey sow sister

I dropped by the library today with an intention to bring a book home. Josh came down to accompany me and we ended up putting back the books that we chose back on the shelf and decided to find food instead. Stomach pleasure > Knowledge. No wonder we're pig siblings. Brownie + Ferrero Nutella Gelato at Scoop Of Art again. Om nom nomz.

On a side note, you guyz should check out this band called Take Cover. I remember how they started out so small that their lyrics couldn't even be found on Google, but they're rising, so watch them rise. *freeadvertisement* Hahahah, no but really, they're good.

Are we star crossed lovers or just big talkers?

Cunty

So, I returned to TK and stayed over for Band camp. All the memories flowed back like a river. Reminisce much :')

Jannah, Zul, Ethel and I joined group 9 together with Desmond, Zaimie, Nicholas and Weijie for nightwalk. Nadzirah dressed up as a mummy and scared me to death. I was walking walking walking and then suddenly I bumped into this white thing that popped out of nowhere -.- K lame.

After nightwalk, all of us (Azk, Humaira, Hajar, Jannah, Nadz, Damien, JJ, Shaza) rotted at the podium. Ordered in Mac's delivery (McWings ^^) at 2-ish, made sauces explode and observed the slow motion effect, played with Akinator(sp?) on Damien's iTouch and Jannah kept screaming at the top of her voice when her idol's face appeared and then screamed even louder when Mr. Bean's / some banglah's face appeared, a few of us crashed, then suddenly the sky bright already. They had budget brekkie at Mac's then I went home. I swear I can sleep even when typing now 'cause I am so bloody shacked.

But... before I crash, lemme tell you one of Jannah's life stories.

One fine day (lol cliche starter for every compo in primary school), Jannah was so desperate for a pet that she went to her void deck with a tupperware to capture ants. Then she decided to build a two-storey apartment for them using the tupperware, and a slope that links both stories. Her sister commented, "eh the ants can't breathe ah." So that cunt went to cut holes in the tupperware. Guess what happened the next day? All her ants disappear. -.- Then the best part is, the ants can crawl all four sides of the tupperware without using the slope she built, so in vain to ensure that her slope is used, she knocks the ants down whenever they crawl vertically up the wall to get to the second storey and make sure they use the slope instead. -.-.-

I can't not laugh in her presence. She's such a happy pill. ♥

This masterpiece will tear you apart.

I drank (ice lemon) tea. I wore my Where's Muthu shirt paired with my comfy denim shorts. I said 'please' to Joshua when I asked for his help to carry stuff for me and 'thank you' to the aunty who wrapped up the birthday cake so nicely. I didn't tell Chong I love him in the end, but I told Joelle I love her, because it's true, I do. I had dessert first; Hot fudge brownie with Ferrero Nutella gelato ice cream. I didn't even have lunch anyway. I forgot to catch the sunset, but I'll make it up tomorrow :/ I wore my Aqua Lily perfume. I smiled, a lot, especially when Sha and I played with Cameroid. I didn't read a book, but I read blogs. I didn't cook or bake for anyone, but I bought a belated birthday cake for JJ. I didn't watch a good film, but I found a good song. I wished myself a lovely day, and my wish came true.

I'm drying out.

Thank you, RLSZ.

You're the first second to know. Come to think about it, you're still semi-stranger to me, but because only you know how it feels like to have your heart sink so deep, because only you know how suicidal it can be to know things you shouldn't know but still expose yourself to it anyway, because we seem to read each other's minds, because we've been through the same shit. It's no wonder why we're HPY. You'll get your girl soon, I'm sure.

At least I know I'm not alone. That's probably the slightest bit of comfort I can receive right now.

A'ight, on a much brighter note, I met up with The Family at pp just awhile ago. Haven't seen these faces for quite awhile. (:

Drink tea, needless to say. I'll wear something that makes me feel good; shirt and shorts definitely. I always bear my manners in mind. I'll tell Chong I love him for always welcoming us to his gramps' crib. I'll have ice cream with Joshie before lunch, or maybe even just ice cream. I'll catch the sunset from that long stretch of road. I'll wear my Aqua Lily perfume. I'll smile without doubt, for there'll be Sha around. I won't read a book, but I'll read... instructions before I do anything? I'll cook maggi mee for them if I have to. I'll wish all of you a lovely day, just secretly. I might just watch a good film, a horror one. Tomorrow's gonna be a lovely day. xx

P/s: Signed up for French lessons with Ngo da ge and Yanzhou. I am doomed 'cause Yanzhou's gonna flame me in French, HAHAHAH.

P/p/s: NGO DA GE'S PARENTS KNOW MY PARENTS. That's just so coincidental.

P/p/p/s: I just ordered a TWLOHA tank top. Costs a bomb and there's nothing special about it but I like it that way. Retail therapy is always the best medicine~

P/p/p/p/s: My Moleskin (sketchbook in disguise) is starting to fill up. I can never kick off the habit of doodling, as long as I have any form of writing material in my hands.

P/p/p/p/p/s: I can't read through your ever so opaque mind, so won't you enlighten me?

Hahhaha my post-scripts are so annoying. Kthxbye.

Broken this fragile thing now.

This is the deadliest feeling ever. All three in one, like a coffee mix. I've to keep it all bottled up, I'm crumbling inside. I need to scream my lungs out, until it pierces through the night silence. I need to cry, until the city floods. I need to sleep, but I don't like going to bed, because that's when thoughts start triggering my floodgates. I need to disappear for awhile. I don't mean to be an emo nemo, I can't control shit. I fucking can't. I don't think anyone can save me.

Does anyone even read this space anymore?

The life of hunger

I just turned to the first page of the book I borrowed from the library 1342512512452 days ago and the return deadline's tomorrow. Faaaarkmylife. For every three lines, I've to stop and dictionary.com every complex word I see. Let's see if you know what tautologous, dereliction, paraphernalia, insular, gobbledygook, vagaries, ennui, patronym, preverse, motif, veritable, effigies, propitious, baobabs or pejorative means. Those are only from up to page 3 fyi. At this rate, I think I'll only be at chapter 5 by the end of the day, that is if I don't pause at all, which is i-m-p-o-s-s-i-b-l-e. Faaaarkmylife harder. But guess what? I bet an arm that Fel can do it within a few hours. Y wo sh0 noobz? :(

Home, is where there's someone thinking about you. So come Home now, will you?

You're not forgotten, and you will never be.

Ignore my previous post. I think the fatigue got the better of me.

Burnt the midnight oil cutting bits and pieces of paper, doodling, arranging photos, pasting post-it pads, getting all sticky with craft glue & wrapping, but what's a couple of hours of sleep compared to making a dearest friend's day? :)

At 5 in the friggin' morning, I rushed outta the house like a mad cow to appear at Keith's doorstep just to wake him up but I didn't in the end 'cause he already woke up by the time I reached the bus stop. Miraculous. Thn we headed straight to Eunos to meet Zhuks to make our way to MJC together. The whole bunk on the MRT stared at us while we panicked to prepare all the props. Cabbed over from the MRT station and entered through the back gate like nothing will happen... but yeah, nothing happened. Gathered a couple of TK-MJ peeps to crowd around before the gate while we waited for Stella's grand arrival. A tall figure was approaching from afar, and that was when the moment came...

She walked towards the gate, as I held the giant yellow board that said "Happy (Advanced) Birthday Starelah!" up high while Keith and Zhuks waved frantically at her while the rest sang the Happy Birthday song. Her smile was wide, but no words came out. She gave us each a tight hug after we passed her our individual gifts before all of them left for flag-raising. That was the end of Stella's birthday surprise, wholeheartedly from the Nuasterz and supported by the TK-MJ peeps. It was a mere five minutes, but somehow, every second of that five minutes felt awesome.

As we made our way back to the back gate to leave, we waved to the crowd (actually, just to the TK-MJ peeps) on the way like we were superstars which attracted so much attention. A voice from behind called for us...

"BOYS...."

Apparently the white-haired woman didn't notice my presence, pshhhhh. Talk to da hand puh-lease. Then we were interrogated, blah blah blah, asked to sign out at the security post where there wasn't even a security guard, sang the national anthem, recited the pledge, -.-ed listening to the school song which sounded so national day-ish, then walked out of the main gate like nothing just happened. Crashing a school is the coolest thing to do. Next up, TPJC? CJC? TJC? VJC? :D

Ok main point is,

it's Stella's birthday today!

Go wish her now if you've yet to or I'll kill you.

What so special about it? It's the 17th year of her existence on this planet Earth, and 4 years of which was a blessing to me, and I wish it'll be a blessing to me for the rest of my life. Because it's not easy finding someone you can still trust and love so fucking much despite so many differences we share. Because it's not easy finding someone you can point to and announce to the world, "I'm gonna grow old with her." Because it's easy finding thousands of people out there who claim to care for you, but it's not easy finding that outstanding someone who genuinely cares for you and means it.

Happy 17th bird-day once again, Stella. Frenx 4ebaxzx. ♥

Down here always,

Sarah.

Therapy, you were never a friend to me.

My stomach's aching terribly and I've been sitting on the toilet bowl for fifteen minutes yet all I managed to muster up was a fart.

[Edit/ 4.07am]

K the shit finally came out. It took so long that I folded an origami crane with tissue paper.

Badai's Whacky & Gay 17.

Late update coming right up.

What an epic night it was. I laughed till I teared a couple of times. We waited in Badai's room to surprise Badai after he arrived home from school. At first, Badai was like, "Whaaaaafark? Fuck you guys." And Azk was like, "Hey darling.." HAHAHAHAHA -dies-

I was the Zebra, Keith was Zorro, Faus was Tinkerbell, Brandon was the Shaolin Monk, Ryan was the Unicorn, Azk was the Slut/ Prostitute/ Whore, Humaira was Mother Nature, the rest were... calefares?

Masquerade party..?

Dolling Azk up...

Jay is having an orgasm over Azk.

All ready to nom.

Faus & I got him a matching lingerie set in zebra prints.

The guys got him a humongous Nerve gun.

Happy birthday, Badz :)

Cake smashin'.

He had to bathe thrice 'cause we showered him with cake and champagne over and over again.

Hung around the playground at Aljunied Park while waiting to countdown to Badai's real birthday. Literally FOUGHT for the swings with Yanzhou, played with sparklers, HTHT with Brandy Orton, and then Azk's mom sent us home :)
