ANOTHER EPISODE OF OFF-TOPIC-RELATIONS BY RACHEL:

Being a Nerd.
Ok, so, what's wrong with being a nerd? i mean, we're the ones who end up being your bosses anyway, who's the smarter one now? Not that i'm super smart or anything, but you get the point. so, as i was saying, yes, stop making fun of us. just because we read thick books like Harry Potter ( which i thoroughly recommend, by the way.), and watch channels like Discovery channel, and love musicals like Phantom of the opera, doesn't mean we're completely worthless. i mean, if being a nerd means staying out of drugs and smoking, and all those 'cool' stuff, then heck let us all be nerds. of course, this IS just a hypothetical case, it doesn't mean I'M a nerd, or anything of that sort. well, ok, maybe i Do, use proper english in my blog entries, and Ok, so i listen to old people music, and YES, i don't exactly care about pop- stars and korean singers, but- ok, this is not going anywhere. So, as i was saying, we need to learn how to ignore the dividing of cliques in our social society now, i mean, isn't this the cause of bullying and stuff? oh crap, i am starting to sound like some social expert professor. ok, well, the point is, we are all humans deep down inside, behind those thick glasses and freakish hair, well, except for those business freaks who practically stalk the stock market and are married to WallStreet. well, yeah, besides them. we ARE all of the same kind. oh yes, except for those Ah Lians who wear freakishly short short shorts, and have fringes so long, that it can be used as a nostril cleaner. well, we are. i think.

ANOTHER EPISODE OF OFF TOPIC RELATIONS,by Rachel:

have you ever had that feeling of total annoyance and crappiness when you're in the middle of some crucial part of a movie like maybe when the FBI's going to reveal some top secret alien information when suddenly, you find yourself in the middle of a Ribena commercial, and you feel like getting the TV busted.( not that i hate Ribena, but you get the idea.) i mean, what is the point of advertising when everyone would hate you for it anyway?
So, here are some proposals which i think the government might want to consider before it's much too late and an angry mob of singaporeans come after them declaring for their rights of TV time.
Well, seriously, the best thing you could do would to only put Ads in shows like ChannelNews Asia during those business reports or something. Oh wait, I've got a better idea to that.( for the sake of those freaks who are WallStreet lovers and just can't get enough of freakish business-like-maths, and would throw themselves off buildings if they don't have their stock market viewing rights.) Let's just stuff them all into chinese channels. oh yes, i'm loving that idea. even my mum would stop watching chinese stuff when it's loaded with Ads. And that would mean, well, NO CHINESE!!!!!!!! muahahaha. Yes, you government people, we might act like we're ok with everything, But we're NOT. Yep. ok, so maybe i write quite long sentences, but, oh wait, i'm getting off-topic again.

saturday 12th june.
ok, so i didn't exactly post anything yesterday, but i mean, i was busy, everyone would be really busy sometime, right? so, it's not like i committed a really big 'world destruction' type crime. Besides, the point is, i'm now posting something, so well, all is forgiven.
So, yesterday at chloe's was spent mostly shopping(for nothing) and eating. well, we didn't actually do anything people in sleepover movies actually did, like pillow fights and late night movie watching. nope. all we did was well, sleeping and eating. well, it is a sleepover, what the hell are we supposed to do? sleep? oh right, we are supposed to sleep. well, never mind. So, we went to Ion, this shopping mall which has the world's best toilets and has shops like Gucci, Prada and Gorgio Armani. huh. very prestigious. i mean, bags for $2,000? dresses selling at over a thousand dollars?! they are seriously over-pricing double profiting money swallowers. they probably earn about a 500% profit over all the bloody sales. gosh, i'm turning into a financial lecturer. i better stop this right now before all my posts are about marketing and financial issues. ok, so back to our trip to ion. So, after starring at a gold plated pencil sharpener that was on sale for a price of $293, we went down to the food court and bought two glasses of green apple mojito. hmm. what is it anyway? it tasted sort of minty and apple-ish, and a hint of sprite. wait, let me google it first.
EXTRACT FROM WIKIPEDIA:
A Mojito is traditionally made of five ingredients: white rum, sugar, lime, sparkling water and mint. Its combination of sweetness, refreshing citrus and mint flavors are intended to complement the potent kick of the rum, and have made this clear highball a popular summer drink.
Hold on, did it say WHITE RUM? crap, i might have accidentally drunk alcohol. CRAP CRAP CRAP. isn't it like against the rules?!
hmmm, on the bright side, i must have looked pretty mature to be able to buy that. but still, IT'S AGAINST THE LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!
and i think i somehow dragged chloe into this. well, it was a mistake, so it isn't actually MY fault. i mean, i was just curious. (oh wait, isn't that how teenagers do drugs in the first place? crap) but i mean, everyone gets curious sometime. in fact, it's good to be curious. i mean, imagine if Thomas Eddison didn't get all curious and didn't invent the bloody light bulb? hah. and what if that guy who invented television didn't get all curious too, and didn't invent the tele? so i wasn't wrong. it was all that woman's fault who didn't stop me from ordering them anyway.
TO-DO-LIST:
1)Socks!!!!!!!!!!!!
2)find out more about mojitos
3)CALL CHLOE!!!!
4)oh wait, she's in Penang, isn't she?
5) STOP DRINKING BUBBLE TEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monday 7th June
argh. i am seriously stressed. ok, so today was spent mostly in school. yeah, i know what your'e thinking. you're thinking,"what? school? you've got to be kidding the crap out of me." but it's TRUE. i mean, what is the point of organizing this big whole month of holiday fun when you're just going to bloody fit in slots for SCHOOL in between everything?! So, anyway, we were in school because of bloody Art Club. i mean, when i first joined art club i was like, oh great, i've found a really slack-ish club to join, plus, it's indoors and all you ever do is do a little bit of wrist movements, some nice pots, and THAT'S IT. not, a club that asks you to come back for every bloody week of june.( well, ok, technically speaking, i'm only supposed to go back for 3 days, but in dog years, that's like a month, so, yeah, it IS quite a lot of time.)
So in art club today, we were working on this project i've been mentioning for quite a while now. the "friendship fabric thing". So, we've started drawing and we're going to do the painting part tomorrow. and the day after that, we're going to have a comics lesson(crap, i've forgotten to do the homework assigned) and the next two days would be the sleep over me and chloe are going to have, and then on saturday, it's church, and sunday's the day we go out to buy ingredients for the BBQ we're going to have for monday.so, as you can obviously see, i am quite fully booked this month. (ooh, does this make me popular? huh. as if.)
oh, do i wish i could be a pig, i mean, it's sleep and eat and sleep and doing what ever you want. lying in mud- oh wait, yeah, well, i could do without the 'lying in mud' part, and the 'eating human leftover food' part, and the' i've got no hands to play computer' part. ok, so maybe i don't want to be a pig, but-you get the idea.
TO-DO-LIST:
1) stop drinking bubble tea
2) NEW BUBBLE TEA FLAVOUR!!!( double pearls chocolate milkTea.)
3) bring apron tomorrow-or Mum's gonna kill me if i spill any paint all over my uniform. oh wait, grandma's going to murder me too. oh dear.
4) comic homework!!!!!!!!!!!
5) call wei qian sometime soon(not tomorrow, or the day after that) about homework
6) charge handphone.(hmm, maybe i should do that now.)

Saturday 5th June..Rachel's another embarrassing moment episode 1
Embarrassing moment 1:
Ok, so it happened when i was in primary six, and we were supposed to write an essay. So we were given a picture of a bus, and there was a man on it, and the bus appeared to be on a collision course for disaster, which was sort of retarded anyway. ok, so back to my story. and well, i thought it was a train, and well, you can't really blame me for having good imagination, i mean, everyone needs imagination, and it's important for business stuff and well, my point is, i got a teeny tiny bit too far on the story.but i wrote really well. i mean, i described the whole bomb exploding thing in perfect details and well, even if it wasn't a bomb but just a teeny jerk of the bus, but who'd read a story of a bus who jerked just a tiny bit violently out of the road? NO ONE that's who. So i wrote my version of the story, which was a train and it was going fast, when suddenly the driver say a flash of light, tried to stop, failed, and the train got blown to bits. Now that's what i call a story, even if the original one was supposed to be a bus driver who saw something on the road and went off course. see? mental. but anyway, when we got back the essay, my form teacher said something about someone being completely off point and that we should read the instructions carefully and that that person wrote about a bomb exploding, and i was like laughing with the rest of the class and then i noticed that she was looking directly at me and i was like- oh shoot. that's me. And she sort of mentioned my name. But it really wasn't all, completely my fault. well, apart from me mistaking the bus for a train, but it really did look like a train. and anyway, at least my story was different not like some dumb boring old story about a bus and some- oh forget it.
TO-DO-LIST:
1) Buy Soap-Grandma filled it up with water again.
2) buy sequins-lost them all, darn it.
3) Find paint brushes(YOG)
4) do Art club homework( Homework? art club? ugh.)

thursday 3rd june... back from East malaysia!!!!
ok, so now i'm back. oh wait. i didn't tell you i was going off on holiday for 5 days, did I? oh well, now you know. so anyway, while you were busy worrying why i wasn't blogging so often, i wrote down everything about my trip and stuff when i was at the hotels. yeah, so now i'm going to type everything out for you. see how nice i am? huh. yeah right. as if anyone else reads anything that i'm writing.
DAY 1-le Meridien hotel. 9pm
woke up really really really early this morning. well, i usually wake up this early on weekdays for school(6.00am) but i just hit the snooze button and go back to sleep and then wake up half an hour later. so, anyway, we took a cab to changi airport and arrived at about 7.00am. And, well, basically there's nothing much to do except wait for he plane to arrive at the airport, so i'll skip the whole air port part. yeah, so we boarded the plane( jet star flight 3k 527) and well, the rest was kind of boring except for that part when i saw a crack in the plane window and kind of freaked out because i watched air crash investigations last night and i learned all about different air pressures and stuff, and if there was a hole in the plane, it would EXPLODE. so, yeah. but it wasn't really MY fault, since i'm a nervous flyer. but as you can obviously assume, since i am now writing, it didn't explode into tiny bits and pieces like i thought it would. so, when we arrived at the kota kinabalu air port, there was someone there waiting to drive us to our hotel, and so here i am. oh wait, i forgot about the dinner part. so, we went to this seafood restaurant where they had live lobsters and fish and yeah, basically seafood. oh wait, my Dad is trying to tell me to sleep now. yeah right. 9.15pm? you've got to be kidding me.
DAY 2...this whatsitsname hotel on the top of a hill.7.15pm
so today was spent mostly water rafting. as in some poor guy blows up this big huge rubber floaty thingy, and then five people sit in it and we go splashing into a river with paddles in our hands and we, well, row the boat. it was quite fun, really. first thing in the morning, we somehow hurl ourselves off the beds and we meet our guide in the lobby of le meridien hotel. and well, the guide was pretty funny, cracking jokes all the time, mostly involving a crocodile and us. so yes, you could say he was quite a sadist. so he drove us to the shangrila hotel (kinabalu version) to pick up two other tourists going on the raft with us.
I was like, crossing my fingers hoping for two nice british friends, who are girls obviously, and well, i got my wish a quarter fulfilled anyway. they turned out to be an austrailian man and a singaporean girl, who are well, a couple. so, first off, the guide told us to climb on this rock and jump into the water. and i forgot to hold my breath. and i - yeah, you get the picture. so the rest was just hours of painful arm motions, except for when my father fell of the boat on a rough point of the river. so after that, the guide drove us here, at this stinky hotel. well, except for the nice view, everything just, well, sucks. i can hear flies zooming around the room. Do flies really have absolutely nothing better to do then irritate us Humans?! plus, the toilet smells like the sewer. great. just great.
DAY 3 Laban Rata lodge-mount kinabalu. 8.00pm
gosh am i tired. seriously, i climbed like, 6,000 metres up and now we're right above the clouds and it's freezing. plus, my legs hurt and i think i have altitude sickness. seriously, what is the point of paying 1000+ dollars for a swelling headache and sleep problems? so, anyway, the whole day was just climbing and climbing. and climbing. and when we were half way up, we were so tired that after climbing up a few rocks, me and mum just lay flat on a piece of rock for like, 5mins, and then climbed a few more rocks and then rest again. so it was like, climb-rest-climb-rest. oh yes, and while we were climbing up the the mountain, something big happened. big enough to appear in the news. you can go check it out for yourself- if your'e in singapore that is.( read the straits times-friday 4th june, about a boy from bedok view sec, who fell off the mountain. i actually saw him being carried down the mountain, but i really don't want to talk about it.) so yeah. oh great, i can hear flies buzzing around even at this height.-seriously? WILL THESE FLIES EVER STOP BOTHERING ME?!?!?!?!?!
DAY 4-back in le meridien hotel. 10.30pm.
oh my crappy hell. my legs ARE KILLING ME. seriously. so, today was the day we got down the mountain, and when we got back to the hotel,(not the stinky whatsitsname one, we went back to the five star hotel) and ordered room service, since our legs made it impossible to even walk down to the lift. so we're going back tomorrow!!!! oh do i miss my- computer. i haven't been online for 5 days straight-wow, that's a record for me.
DAY 5-Singapore!!!!!-home. 9.15
so, i'm back. and blogging now. sorry i was a day late in posting this but i couldn't finish typing it all down by the time i got home, because it was straight to the bed for me by the time i was back. So, anyway, the most interesting part of today was when we were on the plane, and this really fat man was infront, and he couldn't fit into the seat belt, so a flight attendant gave him an extra one, but apparently, the fat man felt insulted and threw the seat belt right back at him, and kept refusing to wear it. but of course, it is essential, even the law to wear a seat belt on the plane, so he made such a big fuss about it that even the pilot came out of the cock pit and asked him in a stern way to wear it. and then the fat man took it as an insult and then told the pilot that he would sue him. he said" do you know who i am? i can report you to...blablabla" ok, so he didn't actually say bla bla bla but that was what it sounded like. a whole load of crap and Bullshit.so in the end the pilot refused to fly the plane with him on board and security came and took him off the plane, since he had delayed the whole flight by 30 mins. wow- all that for not wanting to put on a measly seat belt. huh. even a three year old wouldn't create such a fuss about a seat belt THAT IT WOULD CAUSE A WHOLE FLIGHT TO BE DELAYED.
P.S. special thanks to t he le meridien hotel for giving me such a nice bed to write on and the laban Rata lodge for the marvelous view. No thanks to that whatsitsname hotel that contained so many flies that i only slept for two hours and spent the rest of the night swishing my arms around to protect me from those freaking flies and mosquitoes.
DAY 1-le Meridien hotel. 9pm
woke up really really really early this morning. well, i usually wake up this early on weekdays for school(6.00am) but i just hit the snooze button and go back to sleep and then wake up half an hour later. so, anyway, we took a cab to changi airport and arrived at about 7.00am. And, well, basically there's nothing much to do except wait for he plane to arrive at the airport, so i'll skip the whole air port part. yeah, so we boarded the plane( jet star flight 3k 527) and well, the rest was kind of boring except for that part when i saw a crack in the plane window and kind of freaked out because i watched air crash investigations last night and i learned all about different air pressures and stuff, and if there was a hole in the plane, it would EXPLODE. so, yeah. but it wasn't really MY fault, since i'm a nervous flyer. but as you can obviously assume, since i am now writing, it didn't explode into tiny bits and pieces like i thought it would. so, when we arrived at the kota kinabalu air port, there was someone there waiting to drive us to our hotel, and so here i am. oh wait, i forgot about the dinner part. so, we went to this seafood restaurant where they had live lobsters and fish and yeah, basically seafood. oh wait, my Dad is trying to tell me to sleep now. yeah right. 9.15pm? you've got to be kidding me.
DAY 2...this whatsitsname hotel on the top of a hill.7.15pm
so today was spent mostly water rafting. as in some poor guy blows up this big huge rubber floaty thingy, and then five people sit in it and we go splashing into a river with paddles in our hands and we, well, row the boat. it was quite fun, really. first thing in the morning, we somehow hurl ourselves off the beds and we meet our guide in the lobby of le meridien hotel. and well, the guide was pretty funny, cracking jokes all the time, mostly involving a crocodile and us. so yes, you could say he was quite a sadist. so he drove us to the shangrila hotel (kinabalu version) to pick up two other tourists going on the raft with us.
I was like, crossing my fingers hoping for two nice british friends, who are girls obviously, and well, i got my wish a quarter fulfilled anyway. they turned out to be an austrailian man and a singaporean girl, who are well, a couple. so, first off, the guide told us to climb on this rock and jump into the water. and i forgot to hold my breath. and i - yeah, you get the picture. so the rest was just hours of painful arm motions, except for when my father fell of the boat on a rough point of the river. so after that, the guide drove us here, at this stinky hotel. well, except for the nice view, everything just, well, sucks. i can hear flies zooming around the room. Do flies really have absolutely nothing better to do then irritate us Humans?! plus, the toilet smells like the sewer. great. just great.
DAY 3 Laban Rata lodge-mount kinabalu. 8.00pm
gosh am i tired. seriously, i climbed like, 6,000 metres up and now we're right above the clouds and it's freezing. plus, my legs hurt and i think i have altitude sickness. seriously, what is the point of paying 1000+ dollars for a swelling headache and sleep problems? so, anyway, the whole day was just climbing and climbing. and climbing. and when we were half way up, we were so tired that after climbing up a few rocks, me and mum just lay flat on a piece of rock for like, 5mins, and then climbed a few more rocks and then rest again. so it was like, climb-rest-climb-rest. oh yes, and while we were climbing up the the mountain, something big happened. big enough to appear in the news. you can go check it out for yourself- if your'e in singapore that is.( read the straits times-friday 4th june, about a boy from bedok view sec, who fell off the mountain. i actually saw him being carried down the mountain, but i really don't want to talk about it.) so yeah. oh great, i can hear flies buzzing around even at this height.-seriously? WILL THESE FLIES EVER STOP BOTHERING ME?!?!?!?!?!
DAY 4-back in le meridien hotel. 10.30pm.
oh my crappy hell. my legs ARE KILLING ME. seriously. so, today was the day we got down the mountain, and when we got back to the hotel,(not the stinky whatsitsname one, we went back to the five star hotel) and ordered room service, since our legs made it impossible to even walk down to the lift. so we're going back tomorrow!!!! oh do i miss my- computer. i haven't been online for 5 days straight-wow, that's a record for me.
