beanie baggies

this is terrible. when one sleeps on these, one will be constantly thinking of food, like the delicious pancakes one is reclining on, and then one will follow the innate instincts of a homosapien to travel to the refrigerator and stretch out a five fingered hand to grab munchies.
No wonder the obesity rate is increasing. people are becoming richer, buying pancake pillows, and thus eating more.

why i want a woof

I want a dog that will wait for me to come home everyday and be (or at least act convincingly) jubilant when i reach home.
I want a dog that i can cuddle up to when its rainy and stormy, and pretend that its lassie and if a flash flood chances to hit my house it will save my entire family
I want a dog that will run with me around the neighbourhood( i need to start exercising)
I want a dog that i can whisper to, and that can whisper woofs to me (though the whiskers may tickle a little)
I want a dog that GAMBOLS
i want a dog that relishes me and not just its food
 i want a dog that will drool all over the floor just to get my attention
I want a dog that will humble me to enough clean up its drool becaus ei love it THAT much
i really want a dog.

how real is real

"you can buy your hair if it won't grow
you can fix your nose if he says so
you can buy all the make up that M.A.C can make
but if you can't look inside you
find our who am i to be in a position that makes me feel so
unpretty"

i feel pretty but unpretty
you know?
that feeling of i like this, don;t like that
nice hair, ugly knees
nice lower eyelashes, terrible flat nose

do other people apart from me scrutinise their faces in the mirror and critique themselves?
or is it just my vanity?

ballet woes

i cannot point. that is a fact
i think my feet are made of stone. they get stuck at a certain limit and not amount of pushing, pulling or book stacking can make them point harder.why why?
now i look like a drunken elephant when i go on point.
NOT very flattering.

slip slidin' away

all the people, slipping through my fingers like sand, and the worst thing is, i don't think they realise how hard i tried to hold onto them.

intuition

i am now reading a miss marple omnibus
she is the greatest detective of all time
:)
i think she's part elephant because elephants never forget.
but then she'd have to be part pipe cleaner too to balance out all that extra size from the elephant because she's not exactly plump.

eggs are our friends

Today i had french toast for breakfast, yesterday i had scrambled eggs.

EGGY BREAKFASTS ARE AWESOME.

i like waking up early to cook breakfast.

once my sore throat/stuffy nose its gone imma cook PANCAKES

occupational hazard

It really irks me when i have to write my occupation as student.
Occupation means something that occupies your life, like a job
I don't want being a student to occupy my life.
thats horrible.
Once when me and emily were at a certain fast food joint (mentioned earlier-it sells tiny pieces of cardboard food), we were asked to fill in surveys.
ired we were, hungry we were (the food hadn't come yet) and so while i scribbled in a false name  ( i became tan dan cheng) and put as many nils in the blanks as possible, emily decided to have fun, and said she was Mr Ah beng, and she was the president of the USA.
Now thats more like it.

FLA

if you got this, you know how to pronounce flour properly.
i was in a supermarket and i asked the woman: Do you know where the flour is? (i pronounced it as flower)
She looked at me as if i was crazy
I tried again: The flour (flower)?
Stare
My last resort: I mean, the Flour (flah).
Woman: OH! (directions...)

But why? WHY? do people pronounce flour as FLAH???

fly me to the moon

i'm off to cambodia on the 17th DECEMBER
(thats one day after youth camp
which means i'll have one morning to write about youth camp.
which means i shall have to set my alarm clock early
which means i'll probably write about youth camp after i come home from cambodia)
I can't wait

hugs

i think theres some magic comfort that flows from one to another everytime they touch skin to skin. like when you hold hands or hug you (usually) immediately feel much happier.

Wise words from albus dumbledore

yesterday i read these words (on the tomb of albus dumbledore's mother and sister) in Harry potter and the deathly hallows, and today they were repeated in sunday school.

"Where your treasure is, there your heart will lie."

True Friends

I am blessed with best true awesome amazing friends.
and i love them all.
LOVE YOU
(i know this is a corny song but really. i like it :))

good as new

I'm going to MINDSSSS
I'm going Shopping
GASP GASP GASP
I shall buy clothes then throw out old ones and have a clothes swap with my friends :)

hippopotamus, what a lotamus, what unlucky lads us be.

I have 15 mosquito bites on my face.

WHY MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

hello, is it me you're looking for?

My mother is forever trying to teach me good phone manners, so whenever i pick up the phone i'm supposed to say:

"Hello, this is Miriam speaking. Who would you like to speak to?"

But usually i forget and just go;

"Hello" (which in my humble opinion, is much easier and quicker)

So yesterday my mum called and i delivered the customary, concise hello. She said she'd call me back and i was to give the proper
"Hello, this is Miriam speaking. Who would you like to speak to?"

SO she called again and i picked up the phone and then a giggle attack hit me and i just giggled weakly into the phone for about 30 seconds before gasping
"Hello, this is Miriam. You have to talk to me because i'm the only one here."

My mum gave up trying to make me speak properly into the phone.

Old couples are so cute

Whenever i see an old couple holding hands or hugging or dancing together i feel so happy and fuzzy because i know they never fell out of love and they are really happy and not worrying about dying.

purrrreace

Yesterday i was sitting in the middle of the road stroking miss noisy the cat. (in case you're wondering, she's called miss noisy because she miaows like crazy) anyway, i noticed (not for the first time) that she has really nice fur, like a lion. But then she also has startling greenish eyes, like a leopard.

Forever 21

 

Yesterday, my friend Charisse 'challenged' me to come up with 21 facts about myself. so here they are

1. I am right now talking to Cleverbot in German.
2. My 2 favorite teachers both had short, dyed hair.
3. Instead of running around in circles for exercise like normal people, I jump around my room to songs on my ipod.
4. I like spelling exercise as excercise.
5. My literary heroine is someone who never marries and dies at a young age (beth from little women).
6. I still haven’t posted the letter I was supposed to 2 weeks ago.
7. I have gotten into another person’s car by accident because I thought it was my aunt’s.
8. When I am bored, I play monopoly deal by myself.
9. I like correcting people’s grammar mistakes.
10. I used to believe that the funny shapes on the moon were islands and trees on peter pan’s never land.
11. Banana muffins are divine.
12. My mother thinks the only 2 people in the world with the same sense of humour as me are my friend Emily and my great auntie Sheila.
13. I once opened the door of the car when it was moving instead of putting down the window.
14. When I was in p4, I tried to tie my hair in 2 plaits every day so when I got home I would have Hermione hair.
15. I never thought anyone would have the same name as me until I came to secondary school.
16. I used to think I had magic powers in my fingertips because once I touched the computer screen and it had internet access (before it didn’t, my computer is a fickle thing).
17. When my sister told me I was adopted, I believed her and made my mother show me my birth certificate.
18. I have 2 birth certificates, one for Singapore, one for England.
19. The only pets I’ve ever really loved belonged to my neighbor and my friend. (my hamster was suicidal, bit me, gave birth to unwanted babies and ate them, and my turtle…doesn’t do anything, except stare at me with his kaleidoscope eyes and beg for food.)
20. When I sleep, I frown (and when I frown, my forehead scrunches up like a tea towel), and I wake up worrying that I will get premature wrinkles.
21. I try to love everyone.♥

 

Forgive me for the strange photo at the top, i just love it.

when you wish on a star

Today when i woke up, there was glitter in my eye gunk. (the stuff at the side of your eyes when you wake up)

I think this proves i am either part fairy or part vampire, or part star.

;)

the early bird catches the worm

today i woke up at 7, drove to school(technically my dad drove me to school) picked up my history textbook from a friend and took the bus home.
when i got home i realised i didn't have my keys, so i called the house phone and let it ring til someone answered the door.
then i watched aquamarine with my brother.

braids, plaits and horse tails

today i decide to prettify myself by tying my hair into 2 french plaits.
i love my new hair style now :)
it makes me feel like pipi longstocking.
i hope when i take the hair ties out me hair will be curly like hermoine.
hooray for braids :)

colour blind

i was wondering, if every one saw colours differently, like my blue was your yellow and your pink was my green, would anyone ever notice.
if we wanted to test it, lets say i showed you a blue colour pencil. To me it looks blue, to you it looks blue too, except you blue is my purple, so you see it purple. but since from young you've called purple blue, you'd say thanks for the blue pencil Miriam! and i wouldn't suspect a thing.

Brown plaid

i had a very brown day today, in terms of food.
for breakfast i had nutella (brown) on wholewheaat bread (also brown)
for lunch i had toast (browned) with fried egg (brown bits-burnt or very very fried)
For dinner i had bean sprouts (brownish yellowish), pork (brown) and tao gua (browned & golden)

yes, i repeat, a very brown day

Nostalgia

I remember in june when we went to england(2 years ago), we visited a pond thing that was peter the pan themed. We'd been there before, long ago.

There's an island in the middle of the lake, with a fort on it. It doesn't have a name. You have to row a boat across the lake to get there.

Since it was nameless (and thus, in me and hannah's eyes when we'd been there ages ago, forlorn), we decided to name it.

So hannah called it the island of bungaboojay.

and i said YES. in the land of poojay.

and there it remains to this day.

:)

AHHHHHHHHH

i feel like this now.
after wearing uncomfortable albeit nice clothes the whole day, i am now in my oversizes turquoise and shirt, and relaxing.
i also just had a mug of hot cocoa (why anyone drinks coffee and tea when there's cocoa i don't know!) while sitting curled up on the rocky chair in the lounge.
feeling good times all.....
relaxation, meditation, consolation.

Richard the third

I watched richard the third today.

IT

WAS

AMAZING

the actor was great, and the whole thing was so dramatic

and (major spoiler on its way)

at the last bit, the hund richard's 'dead' body suspended from the flys.

wow wow wow

Richard the third reminds me of Hitler.

both were really paranoid, both rose to power through ingratiation and guile and both had (or tried to have) a relationship with their neice.......

Formalities

tomorrow i'm dressing nicely to church and then going to watch richard the third (i dont know its plot...)
excited...

excitement

Toady when my dad was watching the tantalising Singapore vs Indonesia badminton finals, he kept shouting "YAHHH" when Singapore scored a point and groaning "URGGGGHHHH" when we fell behind. Tim got really annoyed at my dads outbursts, so he kept saying "DADDDDDDDDD" and then dad asked him to sit somewhere else, and then my mom came and scolded my dad for "bullying" Tim.

while all that palaver it was a wonder i managed to concentrate on the game.

(Singapore won by the way, and everyone, including Tim, went YAHHH")

Happy anniversary

i just realised that i have 153 posts.
which is the same as the bus i take home.
so yay :)

scarf dance

In ballet, we have to do 2 free movement dances with scarves/ Me and Emily are hopeless at managing the scarves. Emily can't get hers into position and mine keeps falling in front of my face when we do the kneeling part. Once, since it did that near the end of the dance, i just scrunched it into a ball, out it next to me and did the finishing pose :)Anyway, scarves are for wearing, not dancing with. just like how fish are for swimming, not eating (can't stand eating fish)

sing sing sing

AMAZING SINGER. i am now going around singing your song and trying to emulate her irish accent

Bugis street

I had the weirdest dream about bugis street the other night.
i dreamt i was lost in it (its like a labyrinth) and evil black ninjas were trying to kill me so i had to hide amongst the clothes

timmyyyyyyyy

My brother does this sometimes.
Miriam: " can you turn the fan to 3?"
Tim: angry face
Miriam:" Pleaseeeeeeee :)"
Tim: does my bidding

he is the cutest brother in the world. except when he throws his badminton racket at me

Cool kid

Ok i shall guess who cool kid is, and i implore him or her to say yes or no. pleaseplease.

DISASTER

I just went on my photobucket account and deleted the pictures i already used for my blog and then i came back and they were gone from my blog toooooo!!!
major repair work so now some posts have different pictures that don't always make sense.

Hit the lights

I'm going to enjoy my holidays

redemption

HE REPLIED!!! but i only realised now because i shut down the computer yesterday before i got the reply.

 

X (i changed the email so you won;t know who it is, unless of course you already do know)  sent you an IM while you were offline.

X@gmail.com said:

hey sup

sorry man was busy

rejection...disgrace

X is not talking to me on msn. i have a feeling he is avoiding me :(
i feel like Kovu in the lion king :(

party and party and yeah!

Today i went to Megan's Party. We had a most fabulous dinner and cake (gorgeous) and played halo, my first time ever, and i took and really long time figuring out how to turn around and walk properly, so it was no surprise that i died all the time. We also played Aunt Millie's million which is really fun, and i was Aunt Millie's blood sister/caretaker/nun friend. :)

The we went to laser quest where i was at first second position and then when we swapped teams so i was with only Kirsten while the other teams had 3 people each, and i dropped to 6th place!!! Laser tag was so tiring and the guns were so heavy, i got painful red marks on my shoulders...

but it was an awesome party and i didn't feel awkward or anything like i thought i would.

Still, i didn't find out who chemical X was though someone said it sounded like someone in our school.HMMMMMMMMMM

give up the funk

today as i was clearing out my desk, i turned on ellie goulding and danced to all her song, with the bed as my adoring audience.

Your song

today as i was on the way home from ballet i sang old song with my dad. i love my dad :)

investigations

hmmm this coolkid person is baffling me. is it someone from my primary school, from church, or secondary school? is it a boy or a girl?

turn to stone

i love ice cream like this. in its soft state, like ben and jerrys or gelato ice cream
somehow my ice cream is always rock hard and i have to wait for ten minutes for it to thaw before i can scoop it out without breaking my wrist.

iheart

i have not blogged about x for a really long time...so...........

i am happy, because last last week on Sunday, i sat beside x, and last week, he was sitting behind me :)

of course, i kept a poker face.

 inauguration of this beautiful event, i shall put a beautiful song here too
