How do you fit an elephant in a refrigerator?The same way you would fit 8 people in a super small car. (ask grace & companion) (ask huili) (ask gwen) (ask yuen xin) (ask jas) (ask cheryl) (ask charlene) (don't ask me. It's a mystery) (and no, it's not as simple as 1. Open car door 2. Put them in 3. Close car door)

Give me a handsome man, I'll bring my own mistletoe!It's Christmas Eve today. "Hark the harold angels sing, glory to the new born king!" I should just pepper this post with random lines from Christmas songs, just to annoy the hell out of people who are trying to read this patiently. Just because I can. (CUE evil laugh) Yours truly had a great Christmas eve's Eve yesterday. Just standing by the ledge of Marina Square with Andrea and singing any songs that come to mind, and waiting for that birthday girl + mini water dispenser girl to show. And of course, a great Christmas Eve's Eve will not be complete without a call to Miss Ho Shi Ki and hearing "Eh, eh, I wanna vomit first, will find you guys later". "Then one foggy christmas eve, Santa came to say, Rudolph with your nose so bright, wont you guide my sleigh tonight?" Shocker. For a friend to tell us she's gonna vomit. But just for the record, she's fine. The only abnormality that she displays would be the intense frequency at which she's moving bowels. (coughs *diarrhoe*) "Santa can you hear me, I have been so good this year, and all I want is one thing. Tell me my true love is here, that's all I want, just for me, underneath my christmas tree. I'll be standing here, Santa that's my only wish this year" Christmas is the time for peace and joy, and ironically, directly after that day, it's BOXING day. Hah, so much for peace and joy. Peace. Yesterday, on the way to ITE Simei for the basketball competition, I was waiting for the train. Walking, I saw an empty seat and sat there, by myself. No earphones, no mp3 player, no books. It's just me and my thoughts. "Silent night, holy night." Just staring into space and thinking, it can be so powerful. The crowd from the other train can rush pass you, and they are but a blur. I have so many things to think over. Am I scum? Am I supposed to be sad? But I am sad. I can't be sad. It's not my fault. I'm supposed to be angry. Angry that I have been percieved as a person that I'm not trying to be. Angry, because someone is glad. I wished someone would come up to me, and tell me this "AIYOH! Don't be so emo can? You think too much la" "Joy to the world, the Lord is come. Let earth receive her king!" But what I got was more that I wish for. "We'll be there for you" they said. We'll be there for you. Joy. How joyous! I'm spending Christmas at my grandma's house! She's finally home. No more hospital bed, no more tubes. "I wanna wish you a merry christmas, from the bottom of my heart."

Look at the bigger picture.It's been raining non-stop these days. People like me lament about the weather, complain about the inconvenience, make a fuss about the flash floods and the fallen trees. But then, if I become a character in "Rice Without Rain", I will view the rain in a complete different light. I will watch the rain, every single drop of it fall down to earth with a tiny splash. I will dance around the rain, ala Jeon Ji Hyun in Windstruck. And I will be grateful. It's the same theory for every other small thing that is happening around us. Just look from an alternate view, from a minion's view to a giant's view, and what I can see is breath- taking. We had a game against our SRJC juniors today. The 3rd friendly of the team. Not exactly a landmark friendly, but every friendly made me understand my team more. This isn't the team I played in when I was in J2, and so I believe I'm still having trouble fitting into everyone's style. As I've said though, look at the bigger picture. At least now, the weight of the team falls equally on everyone's shoulders. At least now, there are people who tell me my mistakes. At least now, someone bothers. Or should i say, everyone bothers. It's important that we do not scrutinise a small thing, and blow it up, like explosives. Like what Missy Elliot rapped in "Gossip Folks". Unless it is Mona Lisa's enigmatic smile. Unless it is Edward Scissorhand's scissor hands. Look at the bigger picture, which is Mona Lisa. Until it stops raining, I feel so tired. So tired of having to pick up after myself when I trip, and being pushed when what I needed was a hand.

So it rains on Christmas season?The WKWSCI futsal girls got 3rd for the interschool games yesterday! To sum it up, a superb goal from Yong Hui, a superb chip from XueMei, a superb penalty save by Eveline and superb defending from Alicia. And of course, a superb free kick that was supposed to curl into go but instead flew into the direction of the HSS people by yours truly. Brilliant, arn't we? Amidst the rain (did someone forget to turn off the tap up there?), the cold, merciless and continuous rain, it was surprising that things could still be done. The futsal tournament finally concluded with EEE winning the tournament, deservingly. I managed to do a lotta walkin' yesterday too. Clawed and ate our way through the crowds of Chinatown, with just a teeny tiny umbrella in tow. Furthermore, I think Chinatown has some unorthedox strategy of making everyone stay in there and its called "Mix and Match- Buses". Needa develop "shopping stamina". Needa buy Volume 14 of Detective School Q and I'll finally own something that is in a complete set. 2007? Lookin' forward.

"Some are born great. Some achieve greatness. And some have greatness thrust upon them."-Shakespear. I've no idea, but this quote came to me quite naturally. I'd like to think I'm one of the three, but I think I'm struggling to even be good. Which I suspect is what life's all about anyway. Ah, to uncover the meaning of life. Another thing that I've uncovered this week was that books are a good companion. Recently, I spoilt my mp3 player because the Lock button came off (AND it was "OFF" and LOCKED; hence I can't switch it on) so for my one hour rides on the MRT, I decided to re-read my comic books. I discovered one book can last me 1 train ride, and the train ride went really fast. Or maybe I'm just super absorbed in it, especially in the "Dan Detective School Q" series. And of course, these one hour train rides are rides from home to school, and vice versa. The Interschool Games for Futsal started on thursday. For those who have no idea, futsal is soccer played on a small court. No grass! Yay. That day, it was raining. The court was wet, everyone was wary of the conditions. For the first game, an early strike by our opponents gave them a one goal advantage. However in the second half, Jie Wei (our striker) latched on to a loose ball. It took her one touch before she whipped the ball into the path of goal. With no defender in sight and the goalkeeper helpless, the ball smashed into the net. 1-1!!! At that time, everyone was estatic and morale was rising. We had equalised. Extra time was played. Everyone gritted their teeth for that winning goal. A kick-in by Lay Meng reached me and I was unguarded. The goal was right of me, and defenders were in my way of a clear shot. Nevertheless, I decided to try my luck. Using my left foot, I kicked the ball towards goal as hard as I can. The ball rolled past defenders. It rolled near the far post of the net. And it crossed the line into the net, right beside the far post. IT"S A GOAL!!!! Everyone went crazy! We were 2-1 up! For the rest of the game, we defended hard. Finally the whistle blew and we won. Bloody came from behind and won. The second match was roughly the same, but with a far absurb winning goal by me again. This time, I was defending when the ball came in my direction. To clear it, I kicked it straight without any target in mind. The ball strode past one defender in between her legs. It strode past the goalie. Crossed the line. Its A GOAL! But of course, much praise should be reserved for JieWei, Eve(Goalie), Weishan, Xue Mei, Lay Meng, Alicia and our two "coaches" Xiong and Zac. And the 2 supporters who came down in the rain too. Now on to the semi-finals on monday!

I've got a tumour in my humour; You've got issues in your tissues.This past week was the week that I was exercising everyday (except tuesday; went shopping, haehae). But no, I don't feel very healthy. Instead, I felt quite the opposite, with aches and pain all over my body thanks to Mr Lactic Acid. There's just something going on everyday, so much so that I crave for a moment to R.O.C* When I finally do get my chance to R.O.C though, I get the strange sensation of irony when I feel bored and start to anticipate my next event for the day. I guess I've got Ants In My Pants. Anyway, this week was all about the ball. Refereeing gave my almost empty pockets something to cheer about, and playing ball shaved 1 kg off the scale. To emphasize again, 1 FRICKIN' KG. So that's something to cheer about as well. Interschool basketball games were also held this week, and the WKWSCI team won one and lost one. I only went for the afternoon game, and to my pleasant surprise, more than 10 people showed up to play and/or to watch and cheer us on. Wee Kim Wee's school spirit huh? There was this particular girl who would do a little dance whenever she scored, making all our people break out in laughter. We promptly made her play the whole of last quarter just so we can see her dance when she scored. And of course, no match is complete without the "Wee Kim Wee School Of Communication And Information" cheer, invented by none other than our Sports Secretary, Shi Xiong. The cheer consist of us shouting "Wee Kim Wee" and that's it. Cool huh? And so that's the third thing I can cheer about, and literally too. I took a breather from all the sports with a nice shopping trip with my full time blind date. I bought a new shoebag because the ol' no-name shoebag was, in Shaz's words "halfway to meeting its maker". Even though no-namehad plenty of adventures with me (think toilet bowl mishap), its rapid disintegration has led me no choice. I got new Havaianas too! Partly because $9.90 flip flops became the butt of some jokes (therefore I dub the $9.90 flip flops part of my no-butt butt), partly because I wanted to understand why it was all the rage. The $29.90 Havaianas got my thumbs up, because the friction is really good and it's very comfortable. The shoe deserves its price tag. The only thing to do now is to sleep and recharge from all the activities during the past week. But before I go, since there's 3 things I can cheer about, I shall. "Wee Kim Wee!" *Relek One Corner ( New singapore lingo that I picked up)

Birthday Post.A few years ago, I had the worst birthday ever. Think stolen wallet. Turn the dial forward, and now I think I'm really blessed. I received a tee shirt (courtesy of the "drama queens" in my life), shoes and tops (from the lovely people who has stuck by my for 4 years) and an expensive adidas watch (basketball people "everyone's gonna have one"). Am thinking of the messages in my phone (Sivalingam), and the efforts by all of them to give me small surprises (GWEN AND CHERYL!!!). Am thoroughly thankful for what I have, and where I am now. It's not just a birthday, it's a testimonial of everything that MY number 19 stand for, from now till the next twelve months .  (A MSN picture from Shaz)
