on the way to goethe from somerset mrt & back at night i saw
a) wanting
(i swear i must make a bad pun on her one day)
b) no less than three skater/bike d00ds
(the new youth park is next to somerset)
who collided with me & swore in hokkien very loudly.
1. skater d00d in singapore?
don't make me LAUGH.
2. i have little respect for people who regularly swear in hokkien very loudly.
i swear much better, i swear.
(& drive livvy crazy in the process)
3. omg no chivalry!
collide with a sweet young fifteen-year-old like yours truly,
& without apologising, swear & run?
OH NOEZ THE MENS OF SINGAPORE IS MOSTLY BORONIC.
okay that was a generalisation. colman would cry.
c) a man in a tight singlet & bright pink crocs.
sorry but being the terrible person i am i sniggered. pretty loudly too.

i've been bumped up a class in goethe, which can only be good because
a) i'm not bored to tears in class any more
b) i don't confuse my classmates any more with my anal questions
c) my new teacher is a cool (hot) german guy.
ha ha [info]pernickety_, don't you regret dropping the language now.

there are also other interesting people in my class,
like a brazilian woman called sonia
(i daren't ask her about waxing),
a smiley guy with a funny name that sounds like G-ray or jeerei or jireh or whatever,
& an indian man who never smiles, UND SO WEITER.

only problem is:
classes that end at 9.30 = a very tired melissa
with much homeworks to do.

DO YOU HEAR THAT MISS KUM.
(haha 315 joke, 'pologies'.)

i barely know half the people who're engaging in this childish silliness,

i swear i will hunt them down myself, one by one by tragic one.

1st. the father is and has been in hong kong.
when he called today i heard machinery in the background.
he said i sounded tired & that i should sleep
i thought he sounded worse but i didn't say so.
he's hated the job for a long time,
he's been 'leaving' since last year,
& they still won't let him go
because everything's coming apart in hong kong & they need someone to blame things on.
they're coming to take the car tomorrow.
i remarked that the father has worked for them for decades,
& that the least they could do would be to --
"life's like that," the mother said, & "you're too naive",
& if that's the case, i wish armegeddon would hurry along & wipe us all out
except maybe it doesn't think we're worth it.

you know. it's rare that i actually care so much it hurts a little.
i don't know what that says about me,
& i don't quite care.

2nd. i have been having much stress lately due to things like
di scripts, desk decor, double german, dysfunctional pcs, sosf.
& so i have been consuming chocolate in near-titanic quantities.
point = i have not been putting on weight.
i am 163 centimetres & 43 kilograms.
i don't know if i should be pleased at this because i certainly am not.

3rd. i don't know if this is a meme.
anyway i am going to list seven qualities in detail
about what i want in a perfect partner.
i am not in love & wish maybe i was because it seems to make life easier for lovers,
but anyway when i do fall in, it will hopefully be to someone like
this )

the first day of school was almost terrible.
my class could be better, but i'm glad it's not worse.
i sit between athena who talks much & thea who talks not at all.
i guess this suits me fine.

results & mp3s from music meme )

so i uploaded 'the drowsing nymph' for [info]carawayseed today,
& she saw my icon & replied
"thankyou! did you know something interesting about that narnia boy. he is called skander keynes and he is my sister's friend and i used to be best friends with his sister. that's crazy."
OH YES IT IS.
somebody stab me.

so it's the day before school starts,

& i've spent the day cat napping,
eating ice-cream,
lying on the table staring at the ceiling,
reading x-men comics,
obssessing over the slashy subtext of the acoustic do you want to video with [info]pernickety_,
sending skandar icons to [info]darong & squeeing,
& contributing a line to a half-written play every half hour.

yes, i am hopelessly unprepared for the school year.

meme gacked from [info]cybermuse

Step 1: Get your music thinger ready, put it on random, and play.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play.
Step 3: Let everyone guess what song the lines come from
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly, or let people know who got it.

yesterday, pseudonym sang, & was better received than i would've expected.

here be the lyrics to the LotR 12 days of christmas )

yes so on another note,
today i nearly died three times.

why i only have six left )

meanwhile, i have discovered that my iTunes can play videos,
even if taylor the iPod cannot! (:
so i spent the morning watching videos, because i am easily fascinated.
unfortunately, the only (music) vids i have are
a few of those of the Franz boys (michael, matinee, darts of pleasure, this fire),
a UK beat bullying ad featuring a mindblowingly hot alex k,
& one patrick wolf's tristan.
HINT: send me some.

[ music | tell her tonight (sag ihr heut nacht?) - franz ferdinand ]

have obtained the german version of 'tell her tonight',
am currently attempting to work out the words without the help of
a) an online translator or
b) the english-german dictionary.

this reminds me that i have a german placement test at goethe institute come wednesday morning,
something for which i am completely unprepared
& in which i am going to have a poor showing for the interview component
because i am sehr lousy at listening & speaking,
as my proficiency results show,
& seeing as i cannot even work out the lyrics to a song i know the english words to anyway.
if frau schäfer is the examiner the melissa shall die of shame.

speaking of wednesday,
public announcement: pseudonym be busking for the salvation army
outside tang's come wednesday from 1-5.
if you wish to come support us, come armed with coins.
(note: our ranks have expanded)

on a new note, having obtained robin: flying solo
with my voucher, i was ein bisschen disappointed to discover it was tim drake.
yes, everyone loves drake, me included,
but i have a personal preference for dick grayson,
who is, after all, THE original boy wonder.
besides, he became nightwing. (:
tim just became the joker.

also, last wednesday carrie the tv series ended its run, if i'm not wrong.
it wasn't very good, but i was a little sad
because emilie de ravin (or someone who bears a strong resemblance)
was a terrific smirking blonde & bad chris hargenson.
oh well. the carrie wasn't very pretty anyway.

to olivia: the melissa now owns the league of extraordinary gentlemen vcd!
you didn't know i didn't own it,
but anyway, this gives you one less chance to snark at me. ha.

right i cannot think of anything else to say,
& i am a weary soul, so, ta.

now there is no one i can call up at weird times of the morning
to whine to/angst to/generally annoy.
bahh.
i hope she comes back soon, which is a really stupid thing to say

[ mood | accomplished. ladida. ]
[ music | what you waiting for? (gwen stefani cover) - franz ferdinand ]

so, the internet is back,
& i am back here on my beloved ellejay.

what i have done in the past week:
- watched charlie & chocolate factory many, many times
- expanded playlist
- discovered be your own pet, the long blondes, clap your hands say yeah, the kinks, killcity, nine black alps, panic! at the disco, etc.
- wrote christmas cards at the rate of half a card a day
- panicked at not being able to finish christmas cards (still am, actually)
- read at kinokuniya
- sat around & ate, sang, & watched vcds with the pseudonym girls
- had a series of highly strange dreams (these mostly involved the pseudonym girls in various scenarios, including being given a lift to the mrt by a chinese woman who claimed to be johnny depp's wife & drove four SUVs, a christmas party at my house (which happened to be a castle) in which claire goh came as zorro & alyssa as the white rabbit, going to watch a franz ferdinand concert (the mother thoroughly ruined this one by waking me up before we even went in; i was highly annoyed), & one in which we sat around eating chocolate sauce while joelynn (who i barely know) gave us advice on boyfriends. how queer.)
- barbequed bananas with chocolate sauce, something done before by alyssa at this year's elds barbeque, i recall
- pranced around the house singing 'heroin is so passé, heroin is so passé...' in an effort to piss the sisters off, which worked

i probably did more, but i forget, so anyway.
just in case you feel a desperate need to annoy the people around you,
here is 'not if you were the last junkie on earth' by the dandy warhols,
for your listening pleasure & your siblings' displeasure once you start singing.
http://s8.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=223EVWGWITUSB3L1MILA665OQB

meanwhile, the song of the day, which i have been listening to for a few days straight,
is 'what you waiting for?' by franz ferdinand. (a gwen stefani cover)
i can't stand the woman, but FF makes the song sexy, so.
find me on msn if you want it.
