you used to be the reason, for my smile.
(note: this was supposed to be posted on 1 july but i accidentally saved it as draft)
i am feeling quite random today.
ho, i found out my name
JOAN means
God's gracious giftand clarissa aka cawawa has taken a liking to go, "joan, where's your ark???"
arks were a history. she might as well ask me where was my canoe
i think i'm beginning to like my name more =]
but euu can still stick to the
joannie cos i still like 2 syllable names more =]
i miss those stupid times where me and claudia would go "joanniee-niee" and "claudiee-diee"
i do miss her.
and i totally love my hair so much now =]
its getting more guai, now dat its grown abit
i guess newly cut hair takes time to adapt
and i love heads and shoulders which makes my hair nicer and softer, and less wild. and it smoothens down the top =]
and well on bad hair days i just wax it flat. on sch days i clip dem down.
ho, i love my hair i love my hair i love my hair =]
and well, today mum went with me to piano to talk to my teacher about some stuff.
and i dun think he seemed to get my point
he kept going on and on about how he doesn't want me to skip grades
and all sorts of crap about transfer students
and i was trying to tell him that i dowan to drag on with grade 2 becos he was telling me i might haf to take grade 2 in like, 2009
and he thought i wanted to take grade 4
and he said that he understood and would respect my opinion blah blah.
when i didn't even breathe a word about taking grade 4
i was just trying to find out if i could dun take grade 2 and go to grade 3 the following yr becos i find it a waste of money.
i oso duno what e heck he trying to say lah. it was quite pissing. there i was trying to put my point across to him and he thinking it a different way and going, "yes, yes, i understand" while he doesn't understand a single word i was trying to say. it was like trying to reason with 10 mrs rosalind sohs
thats the thing i hate about him. i've only seen him for 3 times and i already hate him. in fact, i didn't like him since e 1st lesson. for quite a number of reasons.
1. he talks to me like i'm a retard, and it seems like he does think i'm a retard
2. i'm nt trying to be mean but he does talk in this slow and super irritating retarded way that pisses me. and he is quite nerd.
3. he praises me in such a fake and childish way okay. ppl outside wuld think i'm like, 5 yrs old?? every note i play he goes "correct, correct, yes, yes, good, excellent" it pisses euu off after awhile
4. he goes, "still okay" everytime after he tells me smth becos he thinks i dun understand frm e look on my face, which he misreads as a confused look, when it was actually a bored look becos whatever he told me was what i already know since a long time ago.
5. he keeps going on and on about stuff i already know. and comman sense stuff becos i told euu, he thinks i'm a retard. "piano homework would always be lesser and less stressful than schoolwork..." what crap. any sane person would know that. especially ppl in st nicholas.
6. he likes to play with me when i'm playing, and talk alot of crap which i find super irritating becos when you're playing euu wun wan any disturbance.
and i guess there are so many other reasons except i can't be bothered to think anymore.
but who cares. i'll be changing teachers starting frm nxt wk. the counter person overheard our conversation with the teacher and i guess he realised we wern't too happy with the teacher so he suggested a change. i guess many students, esp teens had alot of problems with him, which was what he told me on e 1st lesson. well i guess no teen would want to be treated as a retard.
and ah well... smth kinda amusing happened to me on e way back frm church at sengkang mrt...
there was this AIA insurence booth thingy. this AIA person came up to me.
AIA person: hello. may i ask when was the last time you renewed your financial health check?me: (bewlided) er... i'm nt sure ('how on earth was i supposed to know???')AIA person: oh... may i know how old are you this year?me: (amused) thirteen?AIA person: (taken aback) oh, thankew very much and have a nice dayhello.... that was so.... ehhhhhand the other time pauline, my hairdresser, asked why i didn't drive (drive???????)
i'm still enjoying my youth, people.
i'm a so huge that i look like i'm way past my age?
i dun like this.
and ppl actually bother to check my student pass when i get student meals when they dun check other's.
i know its nt the looks. its the size. i just know it.
dun try to bluff me. i'm nt retarded. and i happen to be blessed with quite good comman sense.
which is thankfully taken frm my dad's genes, seing that the mum doesn't seem to have any.
and oh, i think i haven't blogged abt grandma's birthday celeb?
ah wells... it was definately more up-to-standerd than the late grandfather's one.
the usual satay frm the uncles, black sauced duck frm the big yee-ma, curry frm the small yee-ma, yellow watermelon and jelly from the aunty kum, this meat filled buns called 'kong-ba pao frm the other aunts, clear bean soup which is benifical to health and 'yao mei fan' frm the mother which directly translated means, got taste rice?? er, its just rice with meat and mushrooms which tasts very nice. yum cha's dimsum from the 'kim kim' who works there.... and i guess some other stuff.
but being a very health concsious family...
beetroot and grapefruit juice filled jelly, no colouring and sugar added.
yellow watermelon as desert
fresh 100% organice orange juice as drinks
bean soup was saltless
in fact, almost everything homecooked was less salt, oil and fats
halfway, the cousins couldn't stand it and went to cold storage to get ice and soft drinks
and thats that
RANDOM ME
