This post concerns a friend of mine who had gone through this before, and I asked her if I could post it on this blog. She said yes (That means I have her permission!).
This friend of mine, she had joined a youth group around the start of this year and there were bumps, more often than not. But the group having just started, needed a lot of things to be done. She ended up becoming a vice-president (pretty cool right!). And in doing so, She had to collect all the numbers and details of everyone.
Blah blah blah.
She talks to some, they talk back. One guy (YES, A GUY), a couple days later starts to sms her and stuff, just asking general things.
(Usually in this part, people watching the movie are thinking; 'You idiot girl, somethings going to happen to you!! It's right in front of your face!!' But what most people don't think about is that we, the viewers, know there's something going to happen. She, the 'actor', doesn't.)
One day during a camp, he starts to sms her, saying that he was dead, and someone had killed him. She's asking who that is, blah blah, then he suddenly calls her. She hears some kind of weard noise on the other end, like someone putting something into the mouth, and taking it out again.
She's asking who that is, but he keeps making all kind of weird nosies. After a really long time, he says "'name', how are you? Why you call me?" At which pint she got really angry. After the call was over, he said he was sorry, and that he'll buy her lunch. But she said no and managed to get out of it (For the moment!)
He kept trying to get her to go out with lunch with him, and he kept playing pranks of her and laughing about it. Till in the end she told her mum, who told her friend, and they both told my friend that she had been too nice to the guy, which is why he liked her so much. Her mother told her to sms him and ask which school he was in. He told her, then told her he was in normal tech. Her mother told her normal tech people are very protective because other people look down on them. So what ever they think they have, they'll hold onto it.
So they advised her to either tell him to lay off her, or just say that she had a boyfriend. So she made up a fake boyfriend. (Suddenly he too had a girlfriend) He then started to become very protective:
"If he does anything, call me and I'll call my gang up to beat him up."
"Where are you now?" She answered: "With my boyfriend." Once she even answered, using her mother's advice: "I'm out on a date with an older man." Which was actually her dad...
She sometimes told him that she was out with her boyfriend watching a movie. He kept saying that he was going out with his girlfriends to Vivo City to watch movies after that.
After a while, she got irritated that he kept asking where she was and bosting to her, she stopped replying to his sms's. One day, she told him yet again to stop paying pranks and that she was irritated by it, he answered; "Then let's fight." She just sent "No." back. After that he didn't sms her again.
That was perhaps 4 months ago. She told me that at the start, while she was still wondering if he was trying to get her on a date, she felt, weird, yet, interested that someone may be asking her out. After that "No.", she told me she felt lost. She actually half wanted him to continue to sms her. She knew exactly why she felt that way.
Recently, he started to ask for another girl's number, a girl that they both knew. The girl was her best friend (yours truly!).
She then told me that she felt jelous. Not at her friend, not that her friend was now getting the attention, but that she was loosing it. At which point she called me and told me what she felt (She had been keeping me informed about him).
She said her parents said that she had just had a taste of what it is like to have a broken heart.
She hated the feeling of it. She especially hated the feeling of jelousy.

Flags?
I am not supporting anyone, nor am I not not supporting anyone.
A few years ago my sister suddenly had the idea to count flags. This year... I just feel there's less flags. And now that I'm counting them with my other sister, it's a real shame.
I liked the planes. As usual we rushed out to see the planes fly really low. And it's was really funny coz my mum was using her com to watch the parade live on the net, and the com was on the dinner table outside. So it's like, the sky was just there, and we ran out to see the planes, run back to the table to watch again. And our neighbors were there too. Can you imagine it?? 'Bout 8 or 9 people running back and forth looking out for planes!
However... The parade, My dad told me once there was a parade that kept singing all the childhood songs, like chan mali chan (oioi!!), and the crowd was singing along to all the songs. (I think I remember that parade...) But this year... six or seven screens behind the performers, that didn't have much link to the people dancing, though some did link. And the dancers... though old and young have joined in to do it, which is kinda nice really, the dance moves?! Jump at this point, run about, wave your arms up and down?
Nothing really made sense... I understand it's got to be really hard to organise and all that, and it's really hard to be the dancers themselves, and I don't know if I can do a better job. But really... I think that it should have been carried better. Things should connect with each other, and not leave people thinking; 'What?'. But the statues were cool.
And the commentators!!! SO irritating! They just wouldn't stop talking!! It's like, You're trying to listen to the people singing, but you only hear them talking!! I mean, the infomation they give is quite... informing. But honestly! Even during the display of WATER they were talking!!
I really really liked it when the two planes flew at each other! The planes were really really cool. And I heard that those planes could, at full speed, cross Singapore in a minute!
Overall... I think it wasn't the best that could have been done...But it was a good performence on the dancers part, and excellent manovering on the pilots part.
:D

The joy of posting your 50th post
My o levels are this year, my mum telling to study SS notes, and study, A word that I hear a lot is 'study'.
Why is it when you are tired, like say after a camp, and your thinking of all that had happened, and your remembering all the funny stuff, and then you go home, slump onto a chair, and realise how quiet the house really is, and how dark it all looks, and then you start to feel depressed because you know that all the excitement is gone, over with, and you have to go back to your normal and very good life, and then you start to cry like mad.
How you stand by someone and watch them die? A know a man who knew he was going to die, he knew, and he told his wife to keep quiet about it, to not tell any of his family members, because he knew that he will be a burden to his family.
His wife, a Chinese, was devoted to honouring her husband. She listened to his wishes.
He knew for three years that he was going to die, and on her birthday, there was food, good food, and he loved food, so he ate. And his wife, told him, he shouldn't eat. And he wanted crab. Crab. Everyone in my dad's side loves crab, I understand why he wanted it.
Under a strict food diet for three years, food all around, crab in front of him, he wanted it. So his wife told him that he shouldn't eat, but he just said 'Namine lah.' (Never mind, Lah is a Singaporean interjection). So she broke the crab, she took out the flesh and gave it to him.
He went into the hospital four days later. His daughter asked him if he wanted to go through dialysis, He said no, he did not want to have the operation. His organs just shut down one by one, he fell into a coma, and then he died.
"We will all die, just not today. So worry about it when it threatens, and except it when it comes." A wise man (with the help of his wife!).

NDP and others
At the time when there was the voting thing for a new gov, or something about voting. Took place a few years ago. Very recently.
There were those people going around in the trucks with the speakers going on about voting for PAP, in all four languages. Blasting it out: "Vote for PAP" or something like that.
Now, because of NDP, there's blasted Planes flying very low, and it's one of those really loud planes, I think with only one pilot. And it files so low, it's so loud, I just happened to be sleeping at the time, and I thought that there were planes coming to bomb us all. And I have twoyounger sibblings. WITH A YOUNG TODDLER. Across the street I could hear a baby crying.
NDP is loads of fun. I've been to the parade before. I've seen it on the telly countless times (Ok maybe I can count the times I've watched it). But really, can't the planes go higher up? It was near the evening, what if there were people eating, and they choked?
After I cheacked that my youngest brother was alright, I just told my sister (having just woken up horribly, and purely irritated with the planes right then) I just blames the government and said "Blasted Government. Either they don't have brians or they're not using them" And as an after thought and to relieve my anger, "Arseheads".
Goodnight everyone and have a great NDP with loud planes flying very low.

What makes a marriage work?
I ask my mum and dad one day why their marriage worked but close relatives' marriage didn't. My mum asked me why I thought their's works while others didn't. At that I paused.
I couldn't say that it was just a gut feeling (even though that was part of the reason), she wouldn't except that. So I decided to say the other half of my reason. The other close couples didn't like each other. So she asked 'How do you know your father and I like each other?' To which I replied with a family joke. She knew what I meant.
Then what I said got me thinking (I want to add that it got her thinking too!). How the heck does a marriage work? There's a whole load of 'couples' that I know who don't have a good marriage. They weigh more than that of the real couples.
My mum said that if I were to ask her this when she and my dad were fighting, they'd both say the hate the marriage.
For a long time, when I was a smaller fry than now, My dad always said that in a fight, especially in a marriage, the one who is right, goes and apologises becaused the one who's wrong most of the time just doesn't have the face to do it.
But is it really that easy I always wondered (knowing my dad it'd probably be anything but easy).
My goodness this is kinda boring....
I think that the secret of marriage is a secret that can only be known to the couples that actually love each other, and is not for the people who aren't married.

Hiccups
People sometimes say that if you have the hiccups, someone is thinking about you.
I'm not sure why in the world we hiccup, but my thoughts are that something is stuck at the opsophagus, and the hiccups are acutually your body trying to throw up, but in very mild versions.
:D

Malaysia
We went to Kukup (however you spell it!) with some of my mum's friends from school along with their families.
There was a floating fishing farm there. And I touched a few sea animals. And sharks really do have sandpaper skin. And I found out a little about Malaysia and Singapore, and rambutans originated from Singapore, and it's the only fruit that is originated from Singapore.
Well...It's been a long time since I've been in a bum boat, so as I was crossing to get onto it, I was like... really scared. So I asked my sis to help me, so she just held my hand. And when I was about half way across, she suddenly started to say a string of words that I couldn't really understand, but I got the message that I was squeezing her fingers really hard!!
Then my mum's friend came in, rubbing his arm, and his wife had squeezed his arm so hard that her finger nails had dug into his arm!! So we were going around in a bus and all that and walking a bit... and eating a lot... and driving for a really loooonnnnngggg time. We woke up at 545, left at about 650? Reached home at about 945. Nice, long day, wee tired now (: NITE!!!

If I Die
My mum did this, so I'm doing it.
Hopefully I won't be too scared to go
If I die, at the funeral I would like to have a Westlife song to be played for sheer irritaion to my mum and dad, then I want to have music, any kind, but it must keep on playing for at least a day or maybe two. And tell the sisters that I expect them to drive your to the wake if your are holding the wake somewhere else or whatever.
'Dabby' has to take care of Janice Jasmin. And If he can find Casper Crown, all the better. My stuff in my black cabinet, do what ever you want with them.
Put good use to the stuff that can be recycled (that should make mummy happy).
Number 2 knows my password to my posb card. And the rosary card is to Number 5. Number 6 gets the rosary that daddy and Number 2 gave to me.
Number 4, take some money and get sweeties and a bible. Number 1 can take anything he wants.
And if I die anytime soon, Hope you guys make it to the time we can pull Papa God's beard together.
If not... ... ... I suppose I'll just have to keep my stuff!!!!
