cat in the house

there's a stray cat that wandered into the 2nd level of my house. 0.0

i was at the computer, then i saw this flash of grey and white disappearing into the master bedroom. i turned, and saw a small 'adolscent' kitten staring at me. i think it didn't venture further into the master bedroom because it was pitch-black inside.

anyway, the kitten starting walking towards the computer & me. i noticed it didn't have claws. it wandered around the computer area and explored its new surroundings. later, it started walking towards the staircase and so, i followed it, in case my maid gets shocked and whack the poor kitten. it got to the staircase and was peering through the bars, at my maid who was mopping the 1st floor. the kitten was positioned between 2 life-sized bowling pins that are movable...

i called my maid up and she was like, "WHAT? ok lah ok lah. coming coming!" so she walked up the stairs and saw the kitten. she stopped. and the kitten stared at her and she stared back.

maid: Nor, why got cat here?
me: it came through the balcony door
maid: huh? -confused look- papa don't like cats you know
me: i know
maid: so how?
me: i don't know
-silence ensued-

[perfect example of chain reaction displayed by kitten in the following paragraph]
then, somehow, the kitten got frightened and it took a step sideways, knocking over one pin. then, it jumped back and knocked over the other pin. by now, it was obviously scared. so it bolted through the balcony door and i bet it squeezed through the railings and went back the way it came.

maid: HAHAHAHHAHAA!!!!
me: -silent; no comment-
maid: where did it go?
me: through the balcony door

we walked to the balcony door and tried to see if the kitten was still on the balcony. obvious;y, it wasn't. :( it probably jumped from the balcony, onto the statuette below the balcony, and then over the boundary wall. :(

i left the balcony door open. hey, maybe it'll come back someday? unexpected visitor. -______-

LSC

hello... i've packed my bag for batam and i have nothing to do. i don't want to bathe now because i know that i'll get sweaty somehow and have to wash up all over again. leaving for the ferry terminal at 1715. so... since i haven't blogged in 47930175 years, i'll list out the events that have happened and are still clear in my mind, in random order.

1. mrteo scolding us cos only 2 out of 27 of us passed math test and the average mark is 12/50. my mark was 12/50.

2. i was very very very pissed with someone for something she did which made me really really mad at her. i believe i've told some people, but i don't want to bring it up anymore. so don't ask who she is.

3. going for movie (Hitch) with jasmine, jolyn and vanessa. after jolyn and vanessa left to take mrt back home, me and jas went down to NTUC (at junction 8) to buy stuff for lifeskills camp. it was on the 7th of march that this happened -- 1 day before the residential part of LSC started.

4. SEC 2 LIFESKILLS CAMP 2005 (shall elaborate later on)

5. being annoyed/irritated by my family members. happens frequently lately... i think i'm slipping into the angsty stage of my life and i don't think it'll go away soon. my parents sense it too cos they refrain from reading over my shoulder at the computer to see what i'm doing, give me alot of private space, don't ask me about my life that much and are basically laying off me for now. i don't think my hormonal imbalance stage is going to end soon. i really don't think so.

6. getting the SPAZtech tee and class tee (both are super cool... :D ) i can safely say that our class' class tee is the best amongst the sec 2 level cos firstly, it looks a whole lot more business-like/professional as compared to the other classes (no drawings or whatsoever, only font and grunge designs done by jasmine) . secondly, we do not use an overrated colour which i like (black or white). we use... RED. anyway, going on to the SPAZtech tee. four divine monkeys are cute + funny + cool. :) thanks deb! (don't think you'll ever read this though). the font was good too. :) (thanks charissa!) we used BRIGHT ORANGE for the tee colour. yeah...

7. laoshi 'having a talk with me', ie. warning me that i better buck up in term 2 if not i'll be put under serious review/special review. i think i already am under review or am at the verge of getting into review. i realised that i have seriously BAD time management. not surprising.

8. quitting 3rd lang. at last.

9. getting back history results. not good at all.

10. feeling constantly pissed but masking my feelings when i see a specific someone doing something she always does when she wants something. don't ask -- i won't say.

11. finding out that my circle of friends have permanently changed. reshuffling is both a good and a bad thing. i've grown further apart from people like renee, sufen, liza?, liann, claire, chanyi (basically 111ers).... and closer to people like cheronne, deborah, elizabeth, jasmine, brenda, michelle (112ers)... etc. but i think that the other 111ers who went over to 212 feels the same.
so i guess its natural...

12. realising that jasmine can sing well. very well. even better than what i expected. she was singing along to the moulin rouge soundtrack that ying ming brought. yingming can sing well too! at least in tune about 95% of the time... :) does jasmine have perfect pitch?

13. noticing that both my younger sister and older brother explicitly seek attention. my younger bro and i implicitly seek attention. or its the other way round. anyway, my younger brother and i have similar personalities (quiet thinkers who get hyper only around friends) and my younger sister and older bro are similar (energetic no matter what).

(will continue after i return from batam. goodbye people)

20050225

hello! this is what i posted on my brother's blog. the capital-letters-at-the-start-of-each-sentence was giving me a lot of trouble. stupid shift key. anyway, enjoy! :)

content that was published on www.tylionde.blogspot.com :

[to my kind, caring, brainless brother, don't delete this post that I, your younger, smarter sister have created in honour of your theory that "it's ok to save my passwords on the webpages cause those are minor stuff". thank you.]

Hello everyone. Leonard's dearest younger sister speaking. This post is to illustrate my point in kindly advising my ass of a brother to stop saving his passwords on websites, like his blogspot one here.

Here's what inspired me: I opened the internet and out popped the blogger website. Upon closer inspection, I realised that my brother's username AND password were already saved into their respective boxes, so i decided to have some good, clean fun.

Please, DON'T hesitate to tease and taunt my brother about this post. He just came in about 3 minutes ago, saw the webpage, and thought that I was blogging on my own blog. My blog is linked to his, so if you read this post, do tag on my tagboard and give me feedback. Alternatively, you can pass me messages through my otherwise clueless brother.

reshuffling

it just struck me today, after 4 weeks. There's been lots of changes happening around me since the reshuffle. friendships strained, though there're new ones built and old ones strengthened.

i guess you can't have your cake and eat it too.

there's so much more emphasis on literature and math... i seem to be liking math alot. maybe its because i've improved. probably is anyway. literature... i like adrian chan. he's a nice, slack teacher, but still efficient. at least he doesn't bug us for homework... he just sets a deadline for everything to be handed up :) nice teacher.

i've rediscovered the joys of fictionpress. so i've been sleeping later and later. sigh... but its wearing off... luckily. if not homework's a-piling.

i can't seem to grasp the essence of having english lessons. i understand compositions and essays, but the text types baffle me. sigh. i'll just go along with the syllabus and complain at the end of the year, when everything's done and over.

there' nothing much to say... so i shall rant and rave.

it's hard being the go-between of two adults, especially when they're your parents.

sec 2 spells homework, homework, and more homework. Oh, what does my future hold? what about sec 3?!

my dad's been breathing down my neck to get into IP/BSP. though the exams are quite a long way off.... right? i just hope i get into IP/BSP.... IP at the very least, the very, very least.

HAHA! look at this people:

Hello, my name is Basmati Kasaar. I am suffering from rare and deadly diseases, poor scores on final exams, extreme virginity, fear of being kidnapped and executed by anal electrocution, and guilt for not forwarding out 50 billion fucking chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe that if you send them on, then that poor 6 year old girl in Arkansas with a breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell her off to the traveling freak show.

Do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you and everyone you send "his" email to $1000? How stupid are you? Ooooh, lookyhere! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get laid by every Playboy model in the magazine! What a bunch of bullshit. So basically, this message is a big FUCK YOU to all the people out there who have nothing better to do than to send me stupid chainmail forwards.

Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my apartment and sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing the chain which was started by Jesus in 5 A.D. and was brought to this country by midget pilgrims on the Mayflower and if it makes it to the year 2000, it'll be in the Guinness Book of World Records for longest continuous streak of blatant stupidity. Fuck them. If you're going to forward something, at least send me something mildly amusing.

I've seen all the "send this to 50 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a nickel from some omniscient being" forwards about 90 times. I don't fucking care. Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually contributing to by sending out forwards. Chances are it's your own unpopularity.

THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF CHAIN LETTERS:

Chain Letter Type 1:

(scroll down) Make a wish!!!


No, really, go on and make one!!!



Oh please, they'll never go out with you!!! Wish something else!!!








Not that, you pervert!!







Is your finger getting tired yet?







STOP!!!!
Wasn't that fun? :) Hope you made a great wish :) Now, to make you feel guilty, here's what I'll do. First of all, if you don't send this to 5096 people in the next 5 seconds, you will be raped by a mad goat and thrown off a high building into a pile of manure. It's true! Because, THIS
letter isn't like all of those fake ones, THIS one is TRUE!! Really!!!
Here's how it goes:
*Send this to 1 person: One person will be pissed off at you
for sending them a stupid chain letter.
*Send this to 2-5 people: 2-5 people will be pissed off at you for
sending them a stupid chain letter.
*Send this to 5-10 people: 5-10 people will be pissed off at you for
sending them a stupid chain letter, and may form a plot on your life.
*Send this to 10-20 people: 10-20 people will be pissed off at you
for sending them a stupid chain letter and will napalm your house.

Thanks!!!!
Good Luck!!!

Chain Letter Type 2:
Hello, and thank you for reading this letter. You see, there is a starving little boy in Baklaliviatatlaglooshen who has no arms, no legs, no parents, and no goats. This little boy's life could be saved, because for every time you pass this on, a dollar will be donated to the Little Starving Legless Armless Goatless Boy from Baklaliviatatlaglooshen Fund. Oh, and remember, we have absolutely no way of counting the emails sent and this is all a complete load of bullshit. So go on, reach out. Send this to 5 people in the next 47 seconds. Oh, and a reminder - if you accidentally send this to 4 or 6 people, you will die instantly. Thanks again!!

Chain Letter Type 3:
Hi there!! This chain letter has been in existence since 1897. This is absolutely incredible because there was no email then and probably not as many sad dicks with nothing better to do. So this is how it works:
Pass this on to 15,067 people in the next 7 minutes or something horrible will happen to you like:

*Bizarre Horror Story #1:
Miranda Pinsley was walking home from school on Saturday. She had recently received this letter and ignored it. She then tripped in a crack in the sidewalk, fell into the sewer, was gushed down a drain pipe in a flood of poopie, and went flying out over a waterfall. Not only did she smell nasty, she died. This Could Happen To You!!!

*Bizarre Horror Story #2:
Dexter Bip, a 13 year old boy, got a chain letter in his mail and ignored it. Later that day, he was hit by a car and so was his boyfriend (hey,some people swing that way). They both died and went to hell and were cursed to eat adorable kittens every day for eternity. This Could Happen To You Too!!!

Remember, you could end up just like Pinsley and Bip. Just send this letter to all of your loser friends, and everything will be okay.

Chain Letter Type 4:
If you care, here is a poem that I wrote. Send it to everyone of your friends.

"Friends"

A friend is someone who is always at your side,
A friend is someone who likes you even though you stink of shit, and your breath smells like you've been eating cat food,
A friend is someone who likes you even though you're as ugly as a hat full of arseholes,
A friend is someone who cleans up for you after you've soiled yourself,
A friend is someone who stays with you all night while you cry about your sad, sad life,
A friend is someone who pretends they like you when they really think you should be raped by mad goats, then thrown to vicious dogs,
A friend is someone who scrubs your toilet, vacuums and then gets the check and leaves and doesn't speak much English... -no, sorry that's the
cleaning lady,
A friend is not someone who sends you chain letters because he wants his wish of being rich to come true.

Now pass this on! If you don't, you'll never have sex ever again.

The point being? If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it. If it's funny, send it on. Don't piss people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth, who's been tied to a dead elephant for 27 years, whose only savior is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if you forward this mail, otherwise you'll end up like Miranda. Right?

Now forward this to everyone you know otherwise you'll find all your knickers missing tomorrow morning.

ironic... its a chain letter that disapproves of chain letters! x) so funny! i like the sarcasm... -dripdrip- ok... goodnight! CRP beckons. and mr chan's scolding... :X
