an excerpt from me and jie's convo:

Me: "i have a confession to make."
Sis: "what. you love me?"
Me: "Uh no. i threw a red packet out of the window while i was clearing my table just now."
Sis: "....."
Me: " and i added in a pink coloured paper and wrote: "you lucky person, you've won $1000!" inside. "
Sis: "and you're telling me because...."
Me: "because i'm scared someone will report me to the police!!!"
Sis: "sure. someone will walk outside at the EXACT SAME TIME you throw the red packet out of the window and tell the police, HEY police! i saw a red packet flying out of the window!!!!! QUICK CATCH THE PERSON!!... SURE. "
Me: "NOOO!! you don't understand!! someone might report me to the police for killer litter!"
Sis: "aargh police!! a red packet just flew out of a window and cut my neck and i think i'm gonna be killed by the litter! AARGH. CATCH THE PERSON!!"
Me: "NOOO!! you REALLY don't understand! the red packet has CHIJ ST NICHOLAS GIRLS SCHOOL on it!"
Sis: "oh. okay then that narrows the culprit down to THREE families on our block. WTF did you throw a ST NICHOLAS red packet outta the window then!!!!"
Me: "i.... it was on impulse! plus, it had miss chan's name on it! so they won't ever know its me.."
Sis: "OH. so miss Chan came ALL THE WAY to OUR HOUSE to THROW A ST NICHOLAS RED PACKET OUT OF OUR WINDOW TO CAUSE KILLER LITTER?!!"
Me: "YEAH! thats the story! the police will never find out. her NAME is there after all!"

..........

*door opens*

"HELLO PAPA!" all three other kok members yell in unison.
.......

okay. labour day was, to say the very least, laborious. we all practically gained muscles from lifting all those huge study tables and beds and panty drawers around. dear old pop sort of broke a leg of my table and he was like,

"aiya never mind la! if table collapse then collapse la what to do?! just don't sit underneath your table can already."

right. thanks dad. sitting underneath the table accompanying the spider webs is definitely what i ALWAYS do.

and my dad, seeing my scrunched up face, smirked radiantly at me(as if he had just told the most wonderful joke in the world), before patting his belly in content and leaving my table to its own devices.

.........

in the process though, i unearthed many uhh.. treasures. there were old notes and postcards from stef, dated way back when we called each other samuel kok father and samuel kok son in primary school. hahah oh man how i miss those days!! P4 was da bomb. xD also found AIRMAILED letters by nicole too, who's probably back in england already after her short visit here during fiesta. :/ found stuffs by claire phee too, my fellow soccer fan last time. xD

i leafed through my letter box too and dug out the ULTIMATE weird notes written to me by my mam.

"girl, do not be lazy. if you are lazy your result will be lousy and your mummy will worry. so work hard from now on."

"remember, you are in sec 2 now, work harder harder to get better result. do not wait till you regret it. jiayou jiayou!"

haha i wish she'd write me another note. since i did quite well academically in sec 2. :D

my sis was the best. seriously. she wrote letters addressed to me as a 师姐 in the dunno what dynasty talking in circles about visiting our 师父，who's supposedly fatally ill. -.-

.......

so anyways, i now officially have my own room. a decade after i requested it. and my sis, as expected, could not BEAR to let me go sleep in the other room haha!

my sis has quotas for me. so now, for me to sleep back in our old room, i have to BOOK the room and tell her THREE freaking hours in advance. however, i bargained with her and now, i have a "CAN'T SLEEP PASS" once a month, where i can just run into her room and sleep without prior notice. :D

we SANG at the top of our voices to "celebrate" my departure till almost 1am and i hate to think of what the neighbours will think. never mind the parents though, they sleep like logs.

........

oh anyway we played 5 rounds of (contact/contract) bridge today before tuition and i won EVERY SINGLE round of it with my invisible partner!! haha ooh lucky lucky hands! xD

......

liverpool lost to chelsea!! AARGH. okay random.

......

CHAI called just now and i rejected her call because my tuition teacher poked my arm. she wanted to know if i liked black?!! as in chai, not my teacher. HAHA i knew it. i knew she's going to buy our farewell stuffos or something, since step down is like, just around the corner. Chai! don't forget my note (which is more important) k! haha since i'm your FAVourite senior. xD

......

i'm tired of turning around, only to be left behind.
