i was happy today. know why? i got an A- for my s'pore studies essay. daniel soon said that it was a good paper. :D which is a wonderful morale booster, given my previous F-ed lit paper. and psych tutorial went well. and i managed to find the book that i needed at the library.

that was in school. all changed when i got home. you know, there's a very very good reason why i'm so desperate to get out of the house, get of NUS, get out of singapore. i think you all know why. i've ranted about it before. prepare for another rant about it again. that mother of mine. haiz. first, the brother decided to spark things off by sassing my father at the dinner table. so, hostile atmosphere liao. then, they finished dinner, just me and the mother at the table. and the phone rang. and no one moved to pick it up. it stopped after the first ring btw. anyway, mum was nagging cos she thought it was for my dad, cos she's expecting a call for him. then, the bro came and said, actually it was for me cos he heard my handphone ringing before the house phone started. (my hp has call divert if it's not answered) anyway, then, mum starts getting uptight over some stupid reason and accuses ME of not paying attention to things happening around the house. *rolls eyes* you'd think that SOME PEOPLE, who are closer to the telephone, who actually hear the phone ringing would get the trouble but no,...it had to be ME that she blows up on.

anyway, and then, i go and check my hp and true, there was missed calls. so, me goes and does some friendly nagging at my bro. cos i've complained to him before how soft my hp ringing tone is, and how i can't hear it. anyway, then, the phone rings again. it's theodora. and i'm ok with her cos listening to her weirdness helps me de-stress (in some bizarre way, cos she's plotting how to best scare the heck out of clay). anyway, ya so, i'm on the phone with her less than 10 seconds. the mother comes along and goes like, "that's theodora right?? hang up." what the?? did i look like i was being tortured by her??? was it necessary to stand there and order me to stop talking to her?????

there's more but since the rest of my original post vanished and i can't remember much of what else i wrote, i'll just end off here. yesterday, duan hui says that my way of coping with stress is to listen to clay aiken. haha! how true. so, yup. all for now. nope, i remembered something i wanted to share. click HERE. "Vader of the Opera" highly recommended clip.

and, american idol results show just ended. i just witnessed an interesting event in reality tv history. mandisa was eliminated today. and guess what, when ryan announced it, the whole theatre was silent. seriously. there was stunned silence. like, even me was thinking, what da hell? mandisa? you gotta be kidding me right??? ya. the silence was there for like 5 seconds - long in tv land. i was shocked. mandisa was one of the best. i actually envisioned her getting right to the top. (maybe not winning, but getting high up) if she got eliminated then what about the rest of them who's a whole lot worse than her?




mood: irritated/shock
