changed my blogskin again! it looks kinda ugly with the imeem box sticking out at the bottom. haha i was looking at the preview just now and i realised that once you open the blog section, you have to scroll down all the way to get to the other sections.
on top of that there's the grey box where they have the sign in sign out thingy that blocks the minute picture. oh well. BUT THE BOXES ARE SO FUN! THEY SLIDE OPEN AND CLOSE haha
had such a hard time looking on bloskins.com for a good skin. ended up with this one ah well!

I AM SO BOREDED
I WAS SO BORED TODAY, I CREATED ANOTHER RUNESCAPE ACCOUNT! ONLY TO REALISE THAT THE ONLY THING I WAS ABLE TO DO WAS TO FISH FOR PRAWNS AND CHOP DOWN TREES ( it was super lame. congratulations! you have now reached tree chopping level two! )
so after fiddling around with the buttons and attacking random people and running away (AND KILLING 7 TROLLS MUAHAHAHAHA) i decided to leave my dorkiness behind! and what did i do after that?
i went to wake up my parents just to annoy them! yayyyyyyyyyyyy! cuz it was 4 in the afternoon and they were being lazy. and cuz i was bored. my dad kicked me for that. and then my sister came and started yelling about me not turning off the toilet lights and she was:
sister: DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH ENERGY YOU WASTE LEAVING THE LIGHTS ON?! me: no... how much? sister:... A LOT!
so since my brain is bursting with boredom, i will talk about singaporean art! don't we all love local art? *cough* it's just like our local poets! *violent cough* ever so.. vibrant!
take for example this.. naked pink statue. very original, not to mention pink, isn't it? his willy's been yellowed out so that my blog won't be rated as one with mature content (huiyi once told me that she couldn't view my blog cuz her computer had a program that blocks sites containing explicit contents)
but i'll admit.. there are some good ones... i just probably haven't found them on google pictures yet (despite looking through 5 pages) :)
i caught my dad watching this japanese version of buffed up power rangers on OKTO.

today, we all went to school for the career workshop, or as i like to call it, a complete waste of time and money. except for the parts where we found out our personality types and the funny videos that they showed during the 4 hour snooze fest workshop.
at the end, huiyi and i were filling up our feedback forms with crap (for feedback to the speakers, well, i kinda wrote some math formula. haha). but the speakers were nice... i was merely mindblowingly bored. anyhoo i searched youtube for the rowan atkinson clips. haha he's hilarious

so over there i made the conclusion that the dudes there are abnormally stick skinny and the harajuku (or as my dad say, haracukoo in tribute of all the.. unique people there) cosplayers really take their dressing up seriously. i saw this guy wearing this shirt that had boobs on it and this lady with NEON YELLOW HIGHLIGHTS. scary. and some ang mohs joined in the fun but the are no match for the jap cosplayers.
i saw lots of guys carrying handbags but i'll just call them manbags to, you know, give em more of a manly flare. so the guys will just walk around carrying their colourful manbags that came in an array of colours (inclusive of a pink one). but of course they look considerably better than singaporean men doing that. here, they wear oversized shirt (that have an arrow pointing downwards saying "heaven this way". joking joking) , printed shorts and flip-flops while carrying their girlfriend's huge handbag. you might say that their being nice, or really secure of their manhood to do so. but i say, THEY HAVE A FETISH FOR HANDBAGS. no just kidding. i have no idea what they were thinking holding handbags manbags.
and the moms and dads there are really young looking. in fact, they don't look like parents at all. there was this lady who had bleached her hair blonde. she was wearing this puffy vest and really short shorts and fur-rimmed boots. and she was holding hads with two wee little kids. TWO KIDS AND SHE WAS SO SKINNNNNNNYYYYYYYY.
then i saw this guy with a rocking hair style, a suave black shirt, tight leather pants and black boots. all in all, he looked every bit rockstar-ish... save for the fact that he was pushing a baby pram that was pink.
serious! and comparing with the peeps here, it's pretty obvious most of the times. the guys usually have the look or responsibility and the dad hairstyle. which is just a flat boring hairstyle. and the moms, well, they just look worn out and dress funny.
then again i may be wrong. ah well. i hate school and potatos.

i'm back from japan already and i feel really lazy. anyways, just a random piece of news, i like it when there's turbulence during plane rides cuz it's kinda like those 3d mobile thingies where they seat you in this mechanism that goes up and down as you watch some 3d film... or something like that.
so the destination that my rents decided to go to was shinagawa and we went to this hotel that had such a pretty lobby but a not so nice room (the sheets had BLOOD STAINS on it!) then we went out to eat dinner at this little ramen store.
then the next day my mom, aunt, grammy and i went to ueno market cuz my mom wanted to look at fish (and eat sample food) and my grandma wanted to buy apples and i didn't want to go to disneyland with my dad and sis cuz he never lets me ride the nice rides (aiyah go for the one that's not so high la! later you fly off the coaster how?)
AUNT!
along the way to the market (where we got lost) my aunt was telling my the story of when she and her friend went to Nepal and they were happily drying their clothes and warming themselves in front of this nice warm fire only to find that the fire was fueled by patties of yak poop. OMELETTE MAN!
so along the way we passed by a kabuki theater! it looked pretty and i managed to watch some kabuki performances there in japan.... on the hotel tv. the scenery there was nice too. my mom led us to this noodle store and the noodles was fab. a tad bit salty but really good. and we also went to this omelette placey and the omelettes were really delish! i think they put sugar in it too. AND I BOUGHT MITARASHI DANGO AGAIN MUAHAHAHAHA. and my mom was giving me the 'you'll grow fat talk'. noodlesssssss
kabuki theater! blocked by a tree!
kabuki theater! now blocked by cars!
and it was really hilarious cuz along the way, we saw a couple of old aunties with purple hair! haha it was so funny cuz their hair at the base was white and they ave this crop of purple on top. my aunt and i came to the agreement that they used black dye that was purple based and the black stuff kinda... didnt stick around. so whie my mom was eating free smaples (code term: let's go eat food!) my aunt and i wandered off and found ourselves snapping photos and looking at knife stores. they have lots and lotsa knives! and they even had this huge one with a huge blade.
KNIVES!
a lil blurry but click to enlarge. you can see the cute little dinky stuff down there too!
japanese people are stick skinny and their shows are quite amusing even though i havent a clue what their talking about. one minute their watching this sad film about this couple breaking up and the next they start laughing cuz this guy got really mad. talk about personality change. and there was this one that was really ridiculous cuz they put three guys alone in this room and for some unknown reason the youngest dude stripped down to his undies... yea...
