chocolate

hey

i woke up at 1.40pm today. heh heh heh been a long time since i did that. i have a few more days to enjoy this before EoM. yesterday mm, beta and i went out. the last time was for mm's birthday and this time its beta's (belated) birthday. i have to wait for next year for my turn T_T. her birthday was right before the promos and neither of us felt rebellious enough to defy the promos sutra. so yesterday we went to Max Brenner's Chocolate Bar. i think its obvious who suggested it. it was all things chocolate so you can guess how delirious i went when i saw the menu. mm was apprehensive because it seemed too pish posh and left all the ordering and responsibilities to me. twerp. its really fun when the 3 of us go out. the conversation never stops and in fact there's always too much to say. 4 hours isn't even nearly enough.

i met mm at habourfront station at 6. then we went to vivo's daiso to buy ollie's new dog leash because the little demon just mutilated the expensive ones that came with him. then we went down to (shop name that i can't remember) to get me a new wallet. it doesn't really suit me because its white with heavenly gold stars on it. its supposed to be black with devilish silver skulls on it (at least that's how emo beta expected it to be). after that we went to denki to look at SLR camera prices. im at least 8 months away from it. it should be about 1.8k. even with deepavali i won't make it. maybe for my 18th birthday... then we went to subway to eat dinner. the subway lady gave me jalepeno pepper even though i said i didn't want any. numb nut. then mm and i discussed our siblings...i really really want to meet twinnie now.

we were late to go meet betamon. but then again its betamon la... if you look close enough, you'd see a fucking halo. we took the citylink and went to suntec before realising that we were supposed to go to esplanade. quite blur mah...we looked for the chocolate bar and found it on level 1. we sort of hovered outside for a few minutes, went to the place next door, hovered some more...and then finally got seated. when the waiters took our orders i was quite shocked, he didn't write anything down and came back relatively quickly with a perfect order.

MM really wanted the fondue, so we got her her fondue. came with strawberries, bananas, marshmallows and cake cubes. i felt that it should have had more berries and fruit. the cake cubes were nice but it was a little too sweet with the chocolate. the chocolate came in two types, dark and milk...but we only realised that after we finished it. i thought the dark chocolate was dark because it have been sitting on the fire a tad longer than the milk chocolate had been. beta and i debated whether or not there was caffeine in chocolate, mainly because she insisted we wouldn't be able to go to sleep. beta got a Neapolitan chocolate cheese cake with fruit. and i got the Belgian waffle with pomegranate and cherry sauce (that resembles menstrual discharge. tasted good though). on top of that we got 2 pots of tea, mango and chamomile. i personally thought the mango was better. went well with all the chocolate.

you know you love them, pictures pictures pictures...
the chocolate bar!!! level 1 at esplanade mall. orange lighting makes everything look heavenly, doesn't it?

waffle, fondue, chocolate cheesecake and tea covered table; massive sugar rush

my belgian waffle with vanilla ice-cream and cherry and pomegranate sauce. i had already given beta a cube before i realised we haven't taken a picture yet. i liked the fact that the chocolate wasn't overwhelming and was well complemented.

the chocolate fondue and the platter of dippables. needs more berries!!! i think you can guess what mm and i would do shortly after. i mean, come on! what's more romantic than a chocolate fondue?? it was on fire, literally...

betamon's chocolate cheesecake. it was good, but definitely needed to be more cheesecake than chocolate cake. we were desperately trying to guess the fruit that came with it. it looked like apple but wasn't apple. the aroma was a bit flowery and it wasn't as sweet as apples. hmm... could be passion fruit...but are passion fruits crunchy?? i need to know these things badly...


fat kid alert!!! i caused that chocolate stain on her mouth. heh heh heh. i got it there by feeding her of course, whatever are you thinking??

looks like mm's birthday all over again. i think she simply likes devouring spoonfuls of food.

tastes so chocolatey mah... i always look deranged when im eating chocolatey stuff. don't judge me!

how to feed your partner chocolate dipped delectables 101
step 1: look lovingly and meaningfully into each others eyes.

step 2: simultaneously dip with care

step 3: feed each other seductively (and pause for the camera to snap) while romantically laughing and looking into each others eyes.

step 4: coyly complain that the strawberries are too sour or...just gag

selfy #84756 : mm thinks she looks fat. i think she doesn't.

selfy #9856876832656: mm still thinks she looks fat. i still think she doesn't.

mm and betamon

betamon and i

mm and i

after paying for our meal and finishing our tea we left. it was going to be 10 and MM had a curfew. so we decided to stroll to the merlion place and just talk (we're girls and that's what girls do...talk excessively:D). we talked about the usual stuff la, religion etc etc. however, yesterday was different: drum roll please... we talked about beta's lovelife. granted it was non-existent, but still...mm and i always got a lot to say on the matter. only betamon hasn't had anything to share. it seems, much to the annoyance of mm and i, that beta compartmentalises her life. meaning she's been keeping her outside friends (us), church life, classmates, photography friends, family and personal life all separate. she's a demon robot la, mm and i were apparently in a dusty drawer in her life. on the other hand, i think we were able to disintegrate these "compartments" slightly. mm and i felt like we just accomplished building rome. we managed to establish what miss betamon looks for in her boyfriend. yay!!!! it was like crossing a milestone. we sat on the steps near the merlion and listened to beta's church soap opera stories and her somewhat clinical and logical views on life. nonetheless, it was interesting...

i couldn't help myself...just had to take it. i think it makes me look like a psychotic stalker looking to devour tourists who crossed my path. yes yes, im a nut job.

we saw this projector thingy at the link between esplanade and the citylink. again, really couldn't resist. "IM SWIMMING MM! IM SWIMMING!! QUICK TAKE A PICTURE!!!" there were like a ton of people who just happened to start passing by. it was really embarrassing actually, but fun of course. i don't think i'd ever get to do this again see...i just had had had to do it.

MM had to do it too. as you can see, we tend to get carried away with ourselves and do insane things in public together. beta was far far far away trying to hide herself and pretend like she didn't know us. clearly she was fully kept entertained by mm and i...all the stupid antics mm and i do is for our one and only audience, beta who laughs at everything we do. she totally enables us.

crouching tiger (mm) hidden dragon (me). i was taking the shot.

beta tip toeing. mm don't need to say la, tip toe also cannot make it...

beta NOT tip toeing. who's taller?? come on, let's hear it...who's taller?? that's right...me! muahahahaha...maybe another lifetime beta.

after eating and talking we were ready to go home when we say mm's and allan's mutual friend. it turns out allan was in the area as well. surprise!! we were going to pretend like we just happened to bump into him and make it look like he was stalking us. plan FAILED. it ended up just being awkward and stuff. he was freaking out and squirming like a girl. that pussy. his expression was priceless though: shocked/confused/scared/frightened/WTF?? he kept asking why we were there (like we were haunting him or something BWAHAHAHAHA). after all, it couldn't possibly be a coincidence right?

allan: why are you here??????????
me: what the hell? we can't possibly be out and about?
allan: its 11.15 at the esplanade!!!!!!
me: you're here too!!!

yeah actually it was a bit weird la, to see him that late at the esplanade. nobody really goes there in the middle of the night after all. coincidences are weird. met his friends and then we walked back to the station together (kept insulting each other as always). took the train with beta and allan's friend, joey. she's so nice that its a miracle allan knows her. sigh...what has the world come to? all in all yesterday was really quite fun with mm and beta. made me forget all about my promos blues, retaining, pw etc etc etc. we even came up with a system for the 3 of us: every last friday of the month, we'll each take turns to come up with a interesting place to eat, have fun and goof off. since i came up with the chocolate bar i get to skip this turn. yay! i reckon we'd get to see half of singapore by the end of next year. we're just awesome la...admit it. don't you wish you were us fuckers??

spies

today's earlier post was depressing. and not funny (except to those sadistic numb nuts reveling in my unhappiness). the next 5 to 6 days shall be spent doing what i do best. dig a trench, mope around the house, not brush my teeth and not take baths. oh don't act like you never gone a stretch of days without showering. that's just lying. all you dirty bastards have skipped a day or two. hmph...trying to make me feel gross won't work guys.

heroes season 3 is out and IT SUCKS TITS (thought i'd try a different set, but doesn't really have the same flow. what do you think?). i watched the first 2 episodes and guys, let me tell you, it was just plain frustrating that the writers don't think anything through anymore. it was complete and utter shit. it was almost like that campfire game you play at brownie camp (i know this because i was a brownie, no not the chocolate kind. the real full out mini-guides thing with elves and pixies and stupid promises to god you had to fucking MEMORISE). yes that game where everyone throws in lame plots and string it together to form a "story". it was in bits and pieces. for those of you who don't watch the show and would like to know nothing about it skip this post. for those of you watching the show and would not like to hear what a load of crap it is, you can skip it too.

so i watched the first 2 episodes and realised it lacked the goosepimpling effect that the first season had. you just snort and roll your eyes everytime the writers try to shock you new information. first of all peter is trying to save the world AGAIN. apparently the last 2 seasons of running around and trying to save the world just wasn't quite enough for the "plots to destroy the world and then try to save save the world" department of over-paid writers at NBC heroes. ah but this time, the fuckers have come up with a twist see. it isn't just peter, the nurse with abs, whose trying to save the world anymore. its FUTURE peter, the nurse turned all-powerful superhero with a scar and RIPPLING abs.

right so he runs around, tries to kill his brother to stop him from telling the whole world about a bunch of freaks from the circus who have been set out lose into the world. surprise, nathan, doesn't die. but when nathan wakes up...get this guys...this is the thing that really pisses me off...nathan wakes up thinking that he is jesus, or at least an angel...sent to do god's work. come guys, it isn't appropriate to laugh at people who think they are jesus. for all we know that's where the show is intended to go, religious homogeneity through a tv series watched by millions.

so we have f.peter and jc.nathan both taking on hefty jobs in ruling the world. there's nothing much to discuss about hiro toyota wasabi-kun. niki sanders is doing her split personality thing again. she's still boinking inappropriate men who are highly paid. she's some adviser to some governor. ah then we have sylar. sylar is now invincible because...um he sort of got that invincibility thing from claire. claire is like..um..still not dead.

MOHINDER. aaaaah, they spoiled him for me. actually i really liked his character, no, not because he was indian, but because he was smart and well... NORMAL. i liked that his superpower was actually his brain. he was the stereotype in the show, and i liked that. i season 3 he is totally out of character. everything about him is different. at the start of season three, he was all "fuck you all, im going back to india to get married to a nice indian girl and eat curry lentils with popadams". the last part was my own imagination, but you get my drift. did mohinder used to give up so easily? i don't think so. 3 seconds later maya(the spanish hot chick whose power turns her eyes black) has convinced him to stay by giving him an epiphany. the powers are not stored in the brain or blood like we were led to believe the whole show, its in their adrenal glands (fight or flight response controllers). so mohinder sucks some adrenal fluid out of maya's thing (its nothing sexual you dirty bastards, i really don't know). then he thinks that fluid can be given to anyone, like instant superpowers in a vile(if only). he thinks it will revolutionise the world. maya's all like "nooo mohinder noooo, theees eees veeeeryyy bad. theeeeeeese powers are cursed." mohinder's all like in deep thought and broody. he goes for a walk...with the vile for some strange reason. he stands by a shipping port(or something) and makes an attempt to toss the vile out into the sea (NO mohinder! come on?! you want fish to mutate superpowers too?! seriously, as a logical scientist, you should think before you dispose of stuff like that into the sea. ah well, you ARE from india)

right so where was i, he makes a feeble attempt to toss it into the god forsaken sea. he fails. here's what he does, he injects the fucking demon fluid into HIMSELF. as expected, he passes out. then mohinder wakes up to find himself being mugged closely followed by going all teakwando on the thieves. yup his super powers are like reflexes and shit. he's strong too although they're not particularly linked (reflexes=strenght??? methinks the writers didn't really think this through. they were just delivering what all the insane doe-eyed fangirls wanted). he's super happy about it and goes back home to do tests and experiments on himself. you know what, i actually think the writers gave him superpowers so that he would have a reason to take his shirt of and show off his abs and biceps. well he did show them off last season its just that its more hairless and ripped now (apparently superpowers removes chest hair and gives a waxed gleam to your newly acquired pecs). maya arrives next morning, she's shocked at his transformation from an indian professor to a martial artist...with glistening abs ofcourse. she boinks him, henceforth, promoting mohinder to be the leading man having been the only guy to shag the same girl as sylar. ofcourse, it could just be that maya's this season's mattress.

right, so matt parker(the fat one) is dropped of somewhere in africa. angela petrelli's power is revealed to be having dreams about the future (that being peter's first sign of having an ability). am i missing something? oh yeah...linderman(the crazy guy vying for utopia) is back, but this bit gets a tad confusing. linderman is actually like only visible to nathan(aka jesus). if we remember correctly, linderman's powers are bringing dead crap to life. nathan just came back from the dead right. that makes linderman god. yeah...i know...the writers didn't really get any epiphanies this year. coming back from the dead really doesn't quite astound me as much anymore. for one, we've seen that trick pulled out of the hat many times by peter, claire and sylar. nathan is just one more to the list. the show's dead, old and rehashed (like my grandmother's toe-socks) all in all. however, we all know it still isn't going to stop me from watching it...or any of the dozen million viewers. we all know deep deep in our hearts that the show is going to be cancelled before they wrap it up, but we still hope to see sylar with his unibrow finally accomplish his quest of power collecting (collect all 50 powers now and get a go at world domination free! golly, sounds like something out of cardcaptor sakura... oh don't pretend you don't know what im on about.)

that's it. i got around to paragraphing. its at random places so it may not flow. but, hey, at least its PARAGRAPHED.

square one

hello kids

today was the last day of my papers. if anyone knows of a convenient and accessible ditch that will still ensure that my body is not found, please feel free to drop an e mail. it was so horrid. im prepared to withdraw from school and employ myself as SAJC's janitor. bottom-line is that im fucked. and we all know fucked is synonymous for retained.

here are my predicted results

chem: U (because i was waiting for the organic chem fairy to come help me. she didn't come.)
econs: E
math: E
lit: E
gp: D (with lots of praying on my knees and fat hope)

as you can clearly see from the array of FAILURE, im totally, completely and utterly FUCKED. in case you've mistaken me for someone who likes to exaggerate their failures, im telling you now, those were some very optimistic predictions from me.

now lets do some maths. let's calculate how many rank points i got. i need 35. how many did i get? 0+10+10+5+6=31. as you can see, im 4 rank points shy from the rest of my life. bear i mind im being unusually OPTIMISTIC especially for econs and gp.

what's even more depressing is that the rest of the year is reserved for my favourite subject, PW. YAY!
