DEAR MR JOURNAL

my mood is getting better but my sore thoats getting worse..

recently, i bought emma bunton's(baby spice) album.. the new one called free me..

it hasnt really recieved good reviews from critics.. but hey, she's a spice girl.. every spice gal that makes an album wouldnt have good reviews.. and when u listen to their album, its fantatsic.. the world jus has this thing against spice girls.. i think they rulz.. they were once a major world phenomenon.. with their tacky outfits and catchy songs, they dominated the world with their girl power.. haha... but god noes wad happens, after a while.. everyone started to hate them.. sure, some may not sing that well.. but most of them have talent.. mel b has talent, geri has talent, mel c has a huge talent, emma has talent and victoria have beckham.. so everyones happy.. anyway.. i suddenly talk bout spice gals because at the retail place in my sch, they have the first cd of the spice girls.. and when we are dolling up the place, we listen to it.. and it brings back old memories.. there's quite a few spice girls fans in my class too.. yeah

so heres a very fantabulous super dee duper mega dee trooper song in emma latest album..by the way emma's album is very mod and a mix of bossa nova.. cool right.. i love bossa..

Artist: EMMA BUNTON
Album: Free Me
Title: Crickets Sing For Anamaria

Hey Maria Papa said
You better go to bed
Maria Mama said
You better go to bed
And little sister said
You better go to bed
The older brother said
You heard what Papa said
You better say goodnight
You better shut the light
And Papa told you no
You can't go out tonight
But Papa didn't know
Maria had a date
And couldn't let him wait
So in a little while
She waited till the lights were low
She went out the window
to her beau, and so

There's a lot of huggin' then
A lot of kissin' then
A lot of huggin' him
A lot of kissin' him
A lot of happy talk
A lot of moon above
But very little time
But very little time
To make a lot of love

To make a lot of love
Which is a normal thing
To make a lot of love
For it was summertime
When all the crickets sing
And in the summertime

When anyone's in love
The crickets sing a happy song
But they didn't do their repetoire for long

Suddenly the Papa came
And then the Mama came
And then the sister came
And then the brother came
And then the uncle came
And then the cousin came
And everyone came
And I can tell you this
It was a dirty shame
Because the Papa came
And then the Mama came
And then the sister came
And then the brother came
And then the cousin came
And everyone came
And I can tell you this

When anyone's in love
The crickets sing a happy song
But they didn't do their repetoire for long

Suddenly the Papa came
And then the Mama came
And then the sister came
And then the brother came
And then the uncle came
And then the cousin came
And everyone came
And I can tell you this
It was a dirty shame
Because the Papa came
And then the Mama came
And then the sister came
And then the brother came
And then the cousin came
And everyone's came
And I can tell you

Suddenly the Papa came
And then the Mama came
And then the sister came
And then the brother came
And then the uncle came
And then the cousin came
And everyone's came
And I can tell you this
It was a dirty shame
Because the Papa came
And then the Mama came
And then the sister came
And then the brother came
And then the cousin came
And everyone came
And I can tell you
Suddenly the Papa came
And then the Mama came
And then the sister came
And then the brother came
And then the uncle came
And then the cousin came
And everyone came
And I can tell you this
It was a dirty shame
Because the Papa came
And then the Mama came
And then the sister came
And then the brother came
And then the cousin came
And everyone came

YOURS TRULY

DEAR MR JOURNAL

i had an extremely terrible mood today.. very terrible.. and to make it worse, i had a terrible sore throat too.. shitty..

it all started in the morning.. i woke up with the mother of all sore throats.. my throat was hoarse and i had a very husky voice.. sucks.. so i dilly dally rolling ard on my bed not wanting to wake up..  in the end i had to rush to get ready.. and i'm a person who hate rushing.. i only rush during last minute studying.. =P.. anyway.. so yeah.. rushed.. and then rushed to the train station.. 9 more minutes.. annoying lei.. must wait so long.. then soo many ppl.. soo cramp.. then at raffles place had to wait another 7 minutes for the train to dover.. so frustrating.. so reached to sch slightly late.. went to buy my daily tuna sandwich..

rushed to class thinking i was late but only noticed that i was one of the early ones and class had already begun for 10 minutes.. had this assignment during hrm.. found out smthing bout the japanese gal (the one that i must forget but cant seem to forget for quite some time already) during class.. i got hear from ppl that got someone like her and stuff and i have this feeling she likes him too.. even some of her friends who noe that guy are calling her da-sao as in sister in law.. how heartbreaking can this be.. well, he is obviously better and more suited for her.. haiz.. like, who am i to afford a gem? my mood was still terrible and getting worser by the minute.. and jus looking at her was making it worst..

after that had lunch..my lunch was fine.. i wanted to drink barley but that damn uncle didnt make barley today.. every other days i wanted grass jelly and he makes barley and today when i wanted barley, that fucker had to make grass jelly.. knn la.. went to library after dat.. needed a dumb VCD for the retail shop.. smthing about BALI.. preferably BALI dancing.. might as well jus hope for Belly Dancing right.. spastic..

later had the ccvm (retail shop) tutorial.. that asshole gave us a mini lecture about our disasterous CA project.. and she indirectly, VERY indirectly said that our window display was merely crap.. she said smthing about 'stuff here, stuff there but nothing related.. ur theme..' and other crappy stuff.. i gave her the top award for crowd pleaser and also morale booster... NOT!.. she has extremely high standards that we cant seem to keep up with.. and all that she said in the tutorial didnt actally make my mood any better.. it was worse.. too much slacking.. and i was on an even more irritated mood.. and she was looking at me when she asked about the progress of the window display and how u gonna improve it.. i was not in charge.. i am merely a team member.. haiz..

so my bad mood was taken to class and every little things annoyed the hell out of me.. the black backdrop la, the candle arrangement la, the stupid tv la, the signages and stuff la.. everything jus didnt seem to fit.. everything looked wierd.. and i finally saw wad the teacher saw.. AMATEUR WORK.. i m not saying like its a bad thing ar cause we ARE amateurs.. so jus have to listen to wad she wans and satisfy it as much as we can.. so we try to work things out.. at least today the retail ppl did some rather organised work.. and we learn not to buy stuff on impulse as they will cut down our budget.. anyway.. so sorry ppl if today my work ethics were rather down and i had a black face and if by any chance i stepped on anybody's toes, i apologise..    

but in the end, after much turmoil, there was still some minor touch ups to do... and wad we did today actually pleased the teacher.. she was happy with our black backdrop and she said that the samsung products on the slanted window was rather nice jus by itself.. she jus wants the theme and signages up and elevate some of the products.. and then done.. so at least hearing that from her ligten my mood.. and sch ended at 7.30.. so when i reached home, there was a pasar malam under my block.. so i jus walk around.. bought mostly food stuff.. reached home and jus chill... tmr got chn class... haiz.. so lazy to go...

well.. thats about it.. waiting for 4 aug.. donno wad to do then oso.. going out with someone.. someone that i treasure a lot.. and enjoy going out with.. could jus chill or shop... anything i do with u, makes me happy.. serious... u noe who u are la.. i hope nothing suddenly crops up then.. cause i've been waiting for a very long time.. yea..

so i thinks this is it.. hopefully the dumb sore throat would go off.. hopefully my mood would get better.. hopefully life is still filled with hopes.. hopefully i can still get over her.. and hopefully i wont die an unmarried virgin.. 

YOURS TRULY

DEAR MR JOURNAL

 

Message: Peter and Tina are sitting in the park doing nothing, but just gazing into the sky, while all their friends are having fun with their beloved half.

Tina: I'm so bored. Just wish I have a boyfriend now to spend time with.

Peter: I guess we're the only leftovers. We're the only person who isn't with a date now. (both sigh n silence for a while)

Tina: I think I have a good idea. Lets play a game

Peter: Eh? What game?

Tina: Eem..It's quite simple. You be my boyfriend for 100 days and I'll be your girlfriend for 100 days. what do you think?

Peter: Oookay..Anyway I don't have any plan for the next few months.

Tina: You sound like you aren't looking forward to it at all. Cheer up. Today will be our first day and our first date. Where should we go?

Peter: What about a movie? I heard that there is a really great movie in theater now.

Tina: Seems like I don't have any better idea than this. Lets move. (went to watch their movies and sent each other home)

Day 2: Peter and Tina went to a concert together, and Peter bought Tina a keychain with a star.

Day 3: They went shopping together for a friend's birthday present. Share an ice-cream together and hugged each other for the first time.

Day 7: Peter drove Tina up onto a mountain and they watch the sunset together. When the night came and the moon glowed, they said sat on the grass gazing at the stars together. A meteor passed by. Tina mumbled something.

Day 25: Spend time at a themepark and got onto rollercoasters, and ate hotdogs and cotton candy. Peter and Tina got in the haunted house and Tina grabbed someone's hand instead of Peter's hand by accident. They laughed together for a while.

Day 67: They drove pass a circus and decided to get in to watch the show. The midget asked Tina to play a part as his assistant in the magic show. Went around to see other entertainments around after the show. Came to a fortune teller and she just said "Treasure every moment from now on" and a tear rolled down the fortune teller's cheek.

Day 84: Tina suggested that they go to the beach. The beach wasn't so crowded that day. They have their first kiss with each other just as the sun is setting.

Day 99: They decided to have a simple day and is deciding to have a walk around the city. They sits down onto a bench.

1:23 pm

Tina: I'm thirsty. Lets rest for a while first.

Peter: Wait here while I go buy some drinks. What would you like?

Tina: Eem...Apple juice will be just fine.

1:43 pm

 Tina waiting for about 20 minutes and Peter havent return. Then someone walked up to her.

Stranger: Is your name Tina?

Tina: Yes, and may I help you?

Stranger: Justnow down there on the street a drunk driver has crashed into a guy. I think its your friend. Tina ran over to the spot with the stranger and sees Peter lying on the floor with blood over his face and her apple juice still in his hands. The ambulance came and she went to the hospital with Peter. Tina sat outside the emergency room for five and a half hours. The doctor came out, and he sigh.

11:51 pm

Doctor: I'm sorry, but we did the best we could. He is still breathing now but God would take him away from us very soon. We found this letter inside his pocket. The doctor hands over the letter to Tina and she goes into the room to see Peter. He look weak but peaceful. Tina read the letter and then she burst into tears.

Here is what the letter said:

Tina, our 100 days is almost over. I had fun with you during all these days. Although you may be greedy sometimes and less thoughtful, but these all brought happiness into my life. I have realize that you are a really cute girl and blamed myself for never taken the time to knowing that. I have nothing much to ask for, but I just wish that we can be together forever.

SOOPER DOOPER MEGA TROOPER GROSS!!!!!! i had to control the urge of putting on my discman.. or i might jus piss in the cab to prove some of his facts wrong.. stoopid man.. i felt kinda sick..

so reached sch on time.. when  left the cab he even waved at me.. eeeeeeew.. so next.. went canteen to eat, meixing arrived later, then the rest came and so on la.. so teacher came slightly late.. she came open the door and then dissapeared.. so we continued with the display.. the more we do, the more problems arises.. then the samsung distributer came.. said he dont like our decor that we mixed notebooks with samsung products.. knn la.. so we had to change.. said smthing bout some stoopid those korean image la.. so redo.. then we slaved in there till like 4++.. later only me, angela, maddie and meixing left in the end..   we were all starving souls.. so we madly rushed to jurong point and pre-decided to go fish n co.. whoopie....

reach there and waited for the food like starving savages... shared lame and racist jokes while waiting.. when the food came, there was silence.. everyone jus ate and ate.. haha.. loved the  food there... later did some shopping.. and then went home cause it was geting late and we were getting tired.. stoned all the way..
