bits of news

lazy to update but nothing better to do. still messing around with skins. still have yet to find a skin that i really like. wish i know how to create my own skin. then don't have to dig around blogskins.com anymore.

anyway, the confirmation was last sunday. i guess it could be considered a success. the church was so packed. the only time i know it's this packed is easter and christmas. :D randall did quite well, considering the stressful circumstances. the archbishop looked half asleep most of the time. mother said that the homily was exactly the same as when he gives confirmation in other churches. the whole foo family came down. that's andrew's godfamily. yep andrew and me's god parents are not the same. guess me a bit stress cos people like christina and cecilia all looking at me. me's inferiority complex. :p but things turned out great.

confirmation names were very erm...interesting. especially the girls' names. i mean, what happened to plain 'mary'? no insult to anyone. the names are real classy and all. i just gotta find out what these never heard before names mean. owners of the names kindly enlighten me if my research is wrong.
aaroneah - (hebrew, arabic) shining light, high mountain, messanger [i'm assuming this is the female rendering of aaron. i cannot find aaroneah anywhere.]
angelique - (french) angelic [easiest name to search for]
joseanne - (hebrew) god will increase [assuming this is a variation of josephine. again, can't find joseanne anywhere]
annika - (hindu) very beautiful, graceful [assuming this is a variation of anika]
elvin was asking if i had a confirmation name. no i didn't. what for? i like irene very much thanks. but if you people want to come up with a post-confirmation name for me then let me know. i'm curious to know what name you think suits me.

reading clifford's blog about being the only one left from his 'generation'. i guess i know how that feels. from my generation, there's only me and elvin left. maybe christina hangs around now and then but i never see her anymore. never see anyone from lynette's generation of choir either. alone...so alone.... :D (i'm acting pathetic btw.) but seriously. why is it that so many people just disappear from church after confirmation? forget it. now the time has come for the LC generation to take center stage.

other stuff. duan hui gave me some interesting news the other day. she's in to horoscope and stuff. and she told me that the four of us, she, me, sumi and poh lin, our horoscope elements form a complete harmony. fire (sumi), air (poh lin), earth (duan hui), water (me). so interesting. no wonder we're so good friends. for those who're interested, character attributes of the elements...
fire - inspiration, action
air - intellectual, idea level
earth - practicality, security, foundation in the material world
water - emotional, intuitive

london bombing. they call it the 7/7 bombing in TIME. we were reflecting, lucky me and ah ma didn't go anywhere after all. cos we were so keen on going london. we might have been there and caught in the bombing. touch wood. thinking about chin lin also. she's going to study in london soon. stay safe gal. lucky the terrorists didn't decide to bomb the esplanade. they would have struck top prize. imagine, lee hsien loong, tony blair, princess anne, the spanish princess, hilary clinton, beckham, russian pm (i think he was there), IOC jacque rogge. woah. really top prize. and esplanade isn't exactly an inconspicuous target. i was passing by raffles city the other day, woah, the security there. i even saw a portable x-ray machine. really taking no chances.

school's starting very soon. don't know whether to celebrate or not. on the one hand, it's the end of boredom. on the other, means, end of slacking. and i don't know what i'm going to do in uni. sigh. can't make up my mind lah. really wanted to do genetics. but since i can't, no point moaning about lost opportunities. that chance was lost 2 years ago.

meanwhile, hanging out on the net. the clay aiken fan club is up. but can't join cos no credit card. sigh. got an email from RCA/clay about it cos i joined the mailing list. never mind. life's like that. don't think he'll ever come singapore anyway. i'll have to be satisfied with downloading clack. and drooling over the videos and pics like i did for david copperfield.

sumi says she's got her new contact lenses. and she says she takes only 15 minutes to put both on. wow. lucky her. it took me at least half hour for one side back then. on the subject of eye sight, duan hui was so pleased to tell me that her eyesight's improved. both degrees dropped. verena went for lasik the other day. she can now see without visual aids. lucky. i don't think i can stand anyone messing around with my eyeball.

i've always wondered, what happens when a person goes for eye surgery. i mean, can the person see exactly what the doc is doing to the eye? scary. imagine seeing the knife thing poking your eye. *shudder* i also wonder what happens if someone wearing contacts goes into coma. i mean, you're not supposed to sleep with the lens on. so what happens then? does the doc remove the lenses, or does the person keep on wearing them and then go blind after waking up from coma? morbid thoughts.

desperate housewives ended. sadly. i love that show. but i find the ending a bit unsatisfactory. kinda like the smallville endings. it resolves one problem but there are still other problems. like, is zach actually mike's son? does susan marry mike? who's baby is gabrielle carrying? does bree find out about what george did to rex? what's the story behind that black family that just moved in? can't wait for the next season.

love my new video at the side. it's tara lipinsky (i think. can't remember her surname very well) when she was featured on 'touched by an angel'. beautiful. i was actually looking for 'walk with you' that della resse sang. it's amazing how difficult it is to look for something that isn't mainstream music on the net. but this one isn't bad. i just love it. shi yun says the girl is flying. and i think, yes, i didn't notice it that way, but she does resemble a swan floating in the clouds. so graceful and confident. she looks like she's really really enjoying herself. like ice skating is the one thing that matters to her. beautiful. i never thought ice skating was like that. but then, the only ice skating i've come into contact with is 'the mighty ducks'. movie about a ice hockey team.

supposed to clear my closets. i sort of have but piles of unwanted/unworn clothes and plastic bagsare still lying around my room. can't believe how many unworn tshirts i have. i don't even remember buying so many. darn. don't know what to do with them.

right. all for now. drooling over very very HOT downloaded clack. :D

p.s. blogsurfing and i gotta recommend everyone to look at the 'Lecherous Broads' site. it's under Destinations. there's this twist of 'She Bangs' becoming 'He Blogs'. so creative.
