pan's piano recital!

OOPS! I'm dreadfully sorry I took such a long time to blog about this! :)
Saturday was yi an's recital! PAN YI AN YOU ARE A WONDER PIANIST.
Before the recital, at approximately 5.30pm, I went to bugis to meet michy valsoh and **n.
I shall now bore you with the tragic story of how michy and I combed the first level of the mall trying to look for **n.
Just as I'd arrived at the entrance of parco bugis junction, where we'd all agreed to meet at FIVE THIRTY PM, michy said she'd spotted **n walking towards the other side of the mall.
me: Michelle! quick run after her!!!!!! before she gets away!!!
michy: Don't lah! Valsoh haven't come yet wait we run off then she cannot find us!
me: Aiyo then I stay here you go after her lah!
michy: NONONO! Valteo you crazy is it? Ask me to go off alone and find her?
me: then HOW?!!
and so the debate continues for another minute.
We finally decided that valsoh was definitely smart enough to navigate her way around Bugis so I dragged michy off to find **n. We couldn't find her after combing the place and were on the brink of hyperventilating. I suggested going to the information counter to use the P.A system to call for **n but michelle went "VALTEO YOU CRAZY IS IT?!" michy's catch phrase!
We did find our missing person before valsoh arrived, anyway.
The four of us had a loooooong dinner at mos burger and that was probably the funniest time I ever had with anyone in the whole of term 2.
(to mich and valsoh: MAGGIMEE KICKED DA BAO INTO THE SEA AND MR KOH FOUND DA BAO IN THE SEA AND GORILLAS AND GEOG PT AND THAT FINGER-EYE TRICK! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!)
Michelle and valerie soh, you are going to PAY for your naughtiness on saturday! for more details on the naughty stuff please refer to valsoh's blog.
PAN YI AN I REPEAT, YOU ARE A WONDER PIANIST!
Yian was absolutely amazing. How can anyone memorize so many pieces at one go? I was sitting behind xiner, weixian and charlotte. AND BESIDE VALSOH TOO. Charlotte was armed with so many chocolates that it seemed as if she was going for a movie or something... And during the interval, mr lim came and...
£(&£"(*%&*("$&$&)*"$£%T}Q}R)JGjldcvj4)"$(&*%)jf)N£Un4)U£4021$t(*"& OHMYGOSH!
I can feel myself shuddering.
I did not traumatise you valsoh! Or maybe I thought I assumed that I was traumatizing you but you were nevertheless traumatized. I didn't traumatise xiner, weixian and charlotte! And I didn't traumatize ms tay! HAHAHA.
After yian had finished playing her pieces there was a whole line of people who went up to present her with bouquets and other gifts... xiner gave yian such a BIGGGG teddy bear!
And after the whole concert had ended we went backstage to congratulate yian and get her to sign autographs on our programme booklets! guess who else went to congratulate yian..
£")£$%GNK£)5fj$)%)jf05840JGRW4TU408)&u$t*(&(*&%*(GN98y&£($ty$& OHMYGOSH!!!

and that, my friends, was yian's piano recital. :D

i shouted in the food court!

hooray, kenneth went to church yesterday!
We went to marina square for lunch. Honestly I don't like going to shopping centres on weekends because they're very crowded and somehow you just get rather nervous trying to avoid walking into anyone.
And guess what, I shouted very loudly in the food court, in front of so many strangers.
Agogo and I were carrying our trays of piping hot soup and bento meals back to our table which was on a raised wooden platform. Just as I was about to step up the platform, two idiotic young children came dashing towards me ( i think they were playing catching) and pushed each other onto the edge of the platform, right in front of me. I almost lost my balance (and my temper) when I almost tripped over them. The bowl of hot miso soup on my tray went sliding across the tray and there was soup splattering all over.
And the kids just sat there on the platform, staring at me quizzically.
And then they continued pushing each other until one of them nearly fell onto my legs as I tried to step up the platform again.
that's when I totally lost control.
I shouted "GOSH! STUPID!" so loudly that most of the people around me stopped eating at looked at me.
The mother of the two children scooped them both up and took them back to their seats without a word.
And when I got back to my seat I slammed the tray down again and more soup, rice and teriyaki sauce went splattering across the table. I promised myself that I would one day write a huge article on irritating children and ignorant kids when I finally became a journalist.
I really need to control my temper... it's been rising ever since I became stressed out by the English and Geog PTs. (SLEEPING AT 1 AM FOR FOUR CONSECUTIVE DAYS!) Usually i'm pretty slow to anger but i'm now becoming like a tiger... AHHHH. CONTROL YOUR TEMPER OCTEO, SELF CONTROL!
but the best part of yesterday was that I bought delicious chocolate fondue and a new pair of purple-and-blue nike dunk!

a quiz!

Haha. As requested by squiddy I shall take this quiz which I've ripped from her blog (and originally from Mother Celene's blog. :D)

yay! last day of sch for term 2!

-shoot.
yesterday was a hectic and pissing day until MEP concert started.
sometimes really get frustrated with the class...
Why do we have to do our chinese PT with people who live near us? This arrangement caused so much trouble yesterday... Everyone was havoc.
Poor shevaun.
Shevaun's really a very responsible class chairperson and I hope that everyone will try and put themselves in her shoes. It's not easy managing a whole class, and shevaun's really doing her best. So can everyone please stop giving shevaun and the rest of exco a whole load of stress?
Shevaun, dont give up!

haha.
MEP concert Capriccio rocked!
All the performers- the harp player, mich and seryee, rachel and dee and pan, are all so PRO-ded! I stare at all of you in wonder. *-*
Our item was right after the 20-minute intermission, and everyone was chattering nervously until the people in front gave the drummers the cue to start.
BOOM BOOM BOOM. SHAKASHAKABOOM.
All the sec 2 MEPers (except zan, jingwei and annie who were away at OM) marched in very stately (and clumsily??!!). I caught a glimpse of my parents and dear agogo as I passed them on the way to the makeshift stage.
TOM TOM. TOM TOM.
Valsoh clashes the cymbals so loudly that I must've been hard of hearing for a few days, especially after the gruelling rehearsals.
So basically, the sec 2 item was a success. Too bad we didn't get to play Tico Tico, that was one of my favourites other than colonel bogey! And then, we marched back outside.
THE HIGHLIGHTS OF CAPRICCIO:
1) The people! Thanks jo, kimblee, xuanwei, diyamiriqilyna chillyna aqilah, nards (my twinnie!) and sujin and UMMU GRACIE SHONG for coming! Aqi, nads and I spent the whole intermission hugging and commenting about people's ties. :D I LOVE YA SPiCEBABES!
Gracie was so cute! And finally I got to hug gracie after such a loooooong time! A good way to end the fun fun times we spent together sitting at our row. AWW i'll miss you gracie!
Did you see sujin and someone else who went along with her?
OOOOHLALA.
2) Bean and cookie and mushmaha. and FRANCES JIE!
Celine chia you naughty bean! How can you influence my dear daughter valsoh to become a cheekopeh like you? Do you know how much sacrifice willette and I made to bring her up in hope that she would become a woman of substance?
Now she's Woman of Celine.
Cebean and valsoh invented a new kung-fu move! It's so profound, yet so simplistic at the same time. Kayleigh and I did the "Today, I saw AHEM AHEM" handsigns. We did it on michelle and frances and even frances understands it! But michelle still doesn't get it.. that's for us to know and you to find out, michy. (not michelle soh lar!)
Oh, and cebean, willette, frances (now more commonly known as FEN-JIE), valsoh and I played 205 (ER4 LING2 WU5), a good old childhood hand game which involves a lot of slapping. We played jikopa and willette kept winning. ARH.
3) Audience Hunting.
Pan and I sneaked off to the other side of the viewing gallery at the top of the hall, where we got a super bird's eye view of every single member of the audience. We were trying to look for jo, kimblee, xuanwei and kemama. Thanks pan!!! <3<3<3
4) THE BEST PART OF THEM ALL- THE STAGE FALLS DOWN!
Just as all the sec one and two MEPers shuffled into the hall to perform the last item, mass singing, the flimsy stage gave way. Unfortunately, valsoh and I happened to be standing on THAT PARTICULAR STAGE when it suddenly gave way with a loud crack. The audience was laughing away and we were just stunned. :o
In the end, the funkaye momma ms khoo told valsoh and I to stand on the very same stage which had given way. It was still slanting down vertically, and you can imagine how hard it was for the two of us and the others behind to keep our balance on that stage. The sec ones behind us kept shaking and bouncing on the stage, which made it rock up and down. THAT'S NOT NICE! Well, mass singing was nice too! I got to sing in soprano one (and to this very day, I still can't understand how I managed to get into sop one.)

5566 ticket!

AH!
I feel so ecstatic.
christina banana's sis and friend went to the 5566 autograph session yesterday and they helped me pre-order my 5566 concert 2005 DVD and an autographed ticket!
shaowei's signature is wonderful!!
When pastor was making some announcements in church just now my phone started vibrating persistently... AND CHARLOTTAYE AH DUN CALL ME ON SUNDAYS!! ok everyone don't call me on sundays from morning until 2pm because i'll be in church as usual.. thanks.. :D
AH I FEEL SO HIGH.
I'm like annotating a ballad for my lit poem anthology and desperately thinking of a feasible solution to my two areas of impact for geog PT!
I'M GONNA DRINK MY 5566 PUMPKIN JUICE NOW.
the wrapper is so unique, it's got 5566's picture on it! AHHHHHHHH! i love you 5566!

post for michelle

today valsoh and jamie came over to do geog PT! besides consolidating stuff into our hilda taba table, valsoh and i were sabo-ing each other when we were msn-ing with someone. *giggle..*
giggle. here's a post dedicated to my most precious and greatly loved pillow.

Michelle is a pillow with a very prominent corner which is yellowing with age.
She has seen me through the past eleven years of my life.
I bury my face right into her whenever I cry, I toss her around when I rejoice.
Michelle was the pillow which I dug my fingers into when I was in pain during the time I was having two weeks of stomach flu, and when I was having an incredibly high fever.
I brought michelle down to chinese tuition when I was in primary four.
I took michelle along with me in the car when I went to school one morning.
I called her michelle because I had heard that name in Seasons in the Sun and I thought it was a really nice name. :)
Michelle was with me whenever I cried after mum caned me for not memorizing my science or making careless mistakes for english and science in primary school.
Michelle was with me when I was so happy after returning from the 5566 hand-shaking session and 5566 concert. I was tossing her round and round as I recounted each little detail of the only time I ever got to meet 5566 and see them up-close.
Michelle was on the sofa beside my computer when I had to stay up late to complete my performance tasks.
Michelle was with me when I had to talk but just couldn't find anyone to talk to.
I have to touch michelle's corner in order to fall asleep. Even if i'm dead tired, I simply have to touch the yellowish corner.
Michelle's corner has been stitched up two times because it got torn sometimes. After all i'd been touching her corner since I was three years old.
Mum tried to confiscate Michelle from me in primary 2, but soon I risked everything to get her back. In the middle of the night, I crept into my maid's room, stood up on two chairs and was finally tall enough to reach out to the top shelf of the wardrobe to get my michelle back.
I love michelle! No matter how yellow michelle's corners become, I will never replace her with a new pillow!
I LOVE YOU MICHELLE THE PILLOW AND MICHELLE SOH!

The things we loved about 102

I really miss 102... Must organize a class outing kayes? Anyway this is dedicated to each and every year 2005 102-er... You all rock forever no matter what.
The things we loved about 102
The peeps.
1) Jingwei the science rep... who kept volunteering during science lessons non-stop- be it bio, NPS, chem or physics. And her science proded-ness.
2) Weiling the funny geog rep! Whenever miss wong went on medical leave, the whole class would be in total chaos from all the chattering (FREEDOM!!!) and weiling would scramble up to the staff room to look for miss wong.
3) Aqilah aka chillyna aka diyamiriqilah. The silent proded person who got "tortured" sitting next to lulu during term 3 and 4.
4) Ceboon. Everytime we get back our history papers, we can bet one million dollars that she'd get full marks, along with Zan. Also well-known for being the best butt-smacker and World No. 1 cheekopeh!
5) Kiwan. By far the best imitator of mr lim since he came to the school last year. and always seeing her in the black bowling uniform rushing off for her CCA.
6) Dorrrrrcas!!!! Wherever there's dorcas, there's willette. Always super serious but telling russell peters jokes with willette. AND i used to envy dorcas for being one register number away from chen lulu.
7) Chen Lulu! Not liangzi but lulu. remember that okaye! The liangzifically liangzified liangzians! She's the only one person I know who practices dao-ism and her essays always appear on the chinese newspaper, Friday Weekly.
8) Dee the MEP rep! The most hysterical laughter award should go to her... Everytime dee laughs we all wanna laugh along with her!
9) Debby. debby is so coooooooooool man! leading the class in exercises during PE... and the only one in class who is actually super pro-ded in soccer!
10) Fizzie. Almost everday, you see fizz running around from the classroom to the toilet to collect water for our SL project and walking around the back of the class barefooted. wahh responsible CLE rep eh?
11) Fiona lee li hui. the outspoken one. always voicing out opinions for the class! *applause* aiyohhh got two fiona lees in the class! Teachers always got mixed up with the two fionas!
12) Wanzhen. Anyone remember the time when miss wong was deciding who to call to answer a tough geog question, and suddenly she walked up to wanzhen and said, "HO-HO-HO WANZHEN!"
13) Irrrrmelia BALULU! I shall never forget that nickname man... The bala-bala tongue twisters and the colour pink! Alot of teachers can never pronounce the IR-melia properly. Especially miss ha!
14) Jenny. HA another more quiet but pro-ded 102er as well. we probably remember jenny as the one who did maths assignments superbly.
15) Jamie. Oh yeah! Whenever there's jamie, there's sujin. Another maths pro agaaiiiiiiin!!! heh irmelia and I used to copy her maths assignments 'cause we didn't know how to do like more than half of the questions!
16) Fiona lee may yi. see lah see lah got two fiona lees in the class... haha... kudos to mayyi for teaching and leading us in the class cheers for netball carn. AND WE WON THE CHEERS!
17) Cheryl! HAHAHA! Always popping into class in the middle of training to say hi to us. cheryl likes to draw TOADS... ahem ahem. (who likes to nod her head 872 times per hour?) And was one of the artists for the SL project...
18) Shuyan! The anime-crazy piggypuff/tempura of the class! Whole day long talking about watching anime!
19) Liy- our capable vice class chair! Making announcements and updates on the class every day even though we were kinda noisy! And liy drew the SNOOPY picture on our recycled paper for SL project!
20) Magdaboon... Just try sitting beside her for two terms, and you'll just catch her craziness! Magdaboon's such a nice name and everyone knows magdaboon loves to be crazy! And irmelia and I copied magdaboon's math assignments too. haha.
21) Nads! Forever loyal to her CCA- NCC Land! Ehhhh nad and I are twins! Our birthday happened to fall on the day of the history test and before the test ms tay and the whole class sang happy birthday song to both of us! :D
22) Zan, english rep. (HMM HMM ENGLISH HMM) Only one word to describe zan- Super-Pro. Some more take the time off to write down little notes of encouragement before the EOYS- thanks!
23) Atiqa. the class secretary. Always remember atiqa holding the class list! Oh ya wherever there's irmelia, i can bet you 100% that there's atiqa around too. The two funkiest craziest peeps in 102!
24) Amira aka ABU. It's amazing how the Abu Ada Ayam song (created by the spicebabes- diy, aqilah, abu, nads and I) became well-known and soon the whole class started calling her ABU!
25) Diy! diy= sticky! yes sticky is a nice nickname. Sticky is the T A L L E S T ever! Sticky are u taller than annie?? And sticky is soooooo chio that i thot she was a eurasian!
26) Tessa. TESSA TESSA IS THE BEST! BIGGER BETTER THAN THE REST! And tessa is ERIC ONG! One day miss wong said the word "ARID" and i thot she said "ERIC" and i started freaking out and tessa was like S_S

29) Valerie SOH. Teachers must always emphasize the SOH and TEO when they call our names. We love miss ha and we come up with crappy random stories during health checkup (remember the story "I See The Light") and sing crappy songs! And we sing the same old 5566 song while waiting for our water to start boiling under the bunsen burner during science!
30) ME! I am OCTEO! errrr... am I the... craziest person in class? The one with the longest tongue and aha. PHILO REP. EEEEEYURRRRRR! THANKS ALOT MAN YOU ALL HUH.. SABO ME AND MAKE ME PHILO REP! EEEEEEYURRRRR!
31) Vera!! Every Tuesday, when there's a math assignment due, vera will CHASE us for the assignments and usually I'd be late. boohoo. Vera's in NUS high now. All the best, vera!
32) Willette!! (people please call her mushmaha from now on.) Willette and dorcas are totally inseperable. Willette and I were in the same group for chinese (the lousiest group) and we used to massage each other by moving our pencils gently across our hands and face and legs! eeeyur.
33) Kayleigh! The english pro! Kayleigh should have been philo rep since shes more erm PHILOSOPHICAL. yupyup we also created crappy stories ( I SEE THE LIGHT!) with valsoh and willette and xiaoyan and vera!
34) Sujin. RING RING RING. during history, the phone rings. we discover it's sujin's phone! Sujin's the tissue man! everyone uses up lots of tissues but because of sujin's sinus she uses up so many tissues!
35) Annie. CLASS CHAIR! okay! im not sure who's taller- diy or annie, but i know for sure that annie's one of the smartest in s'pore and she's TALL! rock on!

(which is really like spaghetti you know) Who goes around kissing people, barking, mewing, screeching, laughing, careening into the door? xiaoyan lor! Who could forget the day when xiaoyan proclaimed her love for mr soh outside the bio lab? We'll miss ya xiaoyan, hope you are doing well in Houston.. :D

AHHH! I LOVE 102! WE MAY HAVE HAD QUARRELS AND SQUABBLES AND ALL SORTS OF CONFLICT BUT ALL IN ALL WE'RE STILL THE SAME OLE UNITED 102 WINNERS ANYWAY! whee!

STOP TEASING MY DOG.

i'm super pissed.
tears of rage are practically streaming down my cheeks as I bang each button on the keyboard.
i have endured years and years of this.
enough is enough.
I have endured these fifth-floor neighbours' kids for long enough. Teasing my dog is NOT a simple pleasure in life, let me tell you. These kids pass my house everyday to get to their home on the fifth floor (i live on the sixth), and my poor dog has been enduring daily evenings of teasing and harassing. Every dog has got to retaliate when they are being disturbed or ridiculed. I would too, if I were one. Each time those kids are approaching my house, they know that there's a dog in that particular house which will unfortunately be subjected to torment. They do it on purpose. My dog is teased on purpose.
Today was an irritable afternoon as usual. I heard the pounding footsteps of the kids fast approaching. Immediately I dropped the readers' digest issue I was reading and turned to watch how they were going to irritate me today. The first kid dashed past, taking a quick glance at my dog. Naturally, my dog rose from the spot on the gate and barked angrily. The kid imitated my dog, screaming and barking and laughing with glee.
Now for irritant number two. The irritant of irritants.
I wasn't very affected by the first kid, but the second one drove me to tears. He dashed past, looking at the dog and laughing.
Then, he ran back to my gate and stared at my barking dog, coming closer to it, watching it so that it would continue to bark.
I glared at him angrily. I was so angry that I clutched the popiah in my hand so tightly that it broke. I continued to glare. The kid didn't take notice of me; he just continued teasing my dog. Then, as my dog began to bark even more aggressively, banging at the gate, he ran off, making stupid loud imitations of my dog barking and whining, and laughing uproariously. His mother walked right past without even apologising to me or even looking into the house to check if anyone was in there. stupid.
I dashed to the door, whisked my poor dog away from the gate and slammed it. I don't care if the neighbours hear me venting my anger, they SHOULD hear it and do well to remember it. I screamed with rage, bits of popiah flying from my mouth in all directions. I can't take it anymore! My family has suffered enough! My dog has suffered the worst!
After howling with rage, I took my temperature.
Alas! My temperature had risen by 6 degrees to 37.6 degrees celcius! That's the highest temperature ever recorded for the past two days since I caught my fever!

A warning to those irritants:
The next time I see you ridiculing my dog again, I don't care if my parents around, neither do I care if YOUR parents are around; I will just slam that friggin' door right in front of your faces and SO BE IT.

Ha, ha, ha. *laughs dryly*

sick

oh yay. I am having a high fever and I am feeling high. ^-^ thanks daniel and christina banana for ur concern! X)
ah. I wish kohby wouldn't seperate our tables. Oh and i shall reply tags today!
to xiner: i'm sorry!! xuanwei and i had no choice but to tell kohby who were the more talkative clusters on friday and we told her it was pokok and xuanwei's cluster... she's going to seperate all our desks and stuff... pokok and xiner, please accept my apology! (:

to squiddy: yeah. I get angry about matters which most people wouldn't expect me to be angry about... but i am exercising PATIENCE man! hahar. but you should spend a day with my cousin and you would probably blow your top too. (:

whoosh. I have been sort of productive today. I've revised math, the candle in the wind elegy/ballad, a bit of planning for my With Great Pleasure anthology, chinese worksheet, copied the meanings of those horrid 25 chinese idioms into my bi ji, CLE reflections and history. AND I SLEPT FOR A TOTAL OF FOUR HOURS THIS AFTERNOON. was playing piano and suddenly felt to dizzy to carry on... so I watched harry potter and listened to ai de qi ji until i fell asleep. WHEE. This is the first time i took such a short period of time to fall asleep. I always listen to ai de qi ji during my afternoon naps because the songs are so nice and sleep-inducing... But this time i fell asleep at the 2nd track, which was a very very sad xue tian shi song... Yup.. Now i'm off to play platypus... hasta la vista baybeh!

typhoons

thank goodness the parent called to feedback about our class' contagious talkative syndrome. Honestly I was quite relieved because my cluster's always shushing those other clusters that talk during lessons... Haiz... I don't think kohby was being unreasonable when she scolded us (and yes, she is changing our seating arrangements). It's quite irritating when you are trying to concentrate on what the teacher's trying to say and there's a lot of loud endless chattering all around. In fact jingwei brought earplugs to school today. what a good idea =_=
I'm stressed out by the class seating arrangement plan. Realised that it was a foolish idea of mine to do the seating plan with shev during comp studs. Sometimes I wish i could go back to the good ol' days with 102, when there was much less conflict around. There's lots of conflicts and stuff going around in 202 and it's quite sad because we're probably not very united as a class.
I guess what kohby said was right. Since I actually dared to do the seating plan in front of so many people, I suppose I have to pluck up the courage to face the consequences of my actions.
I'm suffering from my self-inflicted injuries.

I need to blog about a certain individual who happens to irritate me to the point of becoming violent.
This person's too young to understand what i'm writing here (she's five, anyway).
The events that occurred during Chinese New Year reunion still linger, fresh in my mind. And I do remember what happened on Easter Sunday.
It was the most horrible Chinese New Year I've ever experienced. I admit that I didn't quite enjoy your company because I wanted to spend some quality time with the other cousins, especially one of them whom I am very close to. On the other hand, chi new year was the first time I met you again since you were a baby a couple of years ago.
I instructed you not to stray downstairs by yourself because my dog's a bit aggressive towards strangers. I was concerned you'd be afraid of her. When I went downstairs to fetch auntie some water, you strayed right downstairs to see my dog. Even when the dog was fast approaching, you didn't run off even though I was screaming frantically at you to run into my room.
That's when my dog jumped on you. You got a very small scratch but otherwise you weren't hurt at all. And you started screaming and bawling your head off.
A similar experience happened to my cousin four years ago, and although those cousins weren't hurt at all, Mum just walloped me in front of them without giving me a chance to explain myself. She did it because she was too worried about those two cousins of mine.
I was worried it would happen again. I was worried Dad would wallop me. As your elder cousin, I'd feel a sense of guilt for not taking care of you properly, wouldn't I?
You were screaming your head off. I hate little children's screaming. Makes me feel sick.
There were lots of other stuff you did that day, but i'm not going to irritate myself by writing about them. But I can tell you honestly that after that incident, I just broke down and cried myself silly in the toilet.
Easter Sunday. My parents brought you and your bros to church. (by the way your brothers are very nice people)
AND WHAT DID YOU SAY SHORTLY AFTER WE GOT INTO THE CAR?
YOU ASKED IF MY DOG HAD DIED ALREADY.
What kind of abysmally stupid question is that? You don't have the tact to understand that losing a loved one, be it animal or human, is something hard to deal with. It's something people wouldn't talk about in a casual conversation. But you had to bring it up. FOR KEMAMA'S SAKE, MY DOG ISN'T DEAD YET. if you would really like to see my dog dead, you're more than welcome to pay for her cremation fees. Yes. I know you've been telling me you have ten dollars in your piggy bank. Or you could read out her epitaph.
I didn't care what Mum and Dad would think. Right after you asked that question, I turned right at you and snapped, "OF COURSE NOT."
You stole bubblegum from a girl in church. According to mum, you simply reached into the girl's bag, as if it were yours, and took out two wads of bubblegum and ate them.
May I ask if you ever considered putting yourself in the poor girl's shoes? Do you know how upset she was? The bubblegum was bought in the US and Mum had to repay her with three packets of japanese chocolate.
You were so hard to handle when we went out to United Square for lunch later on. At the restaurant, you kept on telling us you had wet tissues until you felt that the whole shop had heard you loud and clear. We told you not to get yourself wet at the fountain but you just had to, didn't you? You whined and pleaded with Mum until she obliged to buy you that expensive balloon. Up to this day, my parents don't ever let me plead with them to buy mp3s or stuff. No means no.
Call me selfish. She's merely a young kid, she wouldn't understand. Oh, val, stop being such a sourplum. Oh val, why can't you be more patient with young kids? Oh val, you must try to be more understanding. Oh val, stop being such an idiot. But that's the truth. You are one heck of a little typhoon. I don't care if mum and dad see this post and ground me or wallop me or something. I've said my piece. I've released that boiling, white-hot anger.
But no matter what, we share the same blood (NOT SISTERS. I'M AN ONLY CHILD). This binds us together as a family. No matter how much you piss me, no matter how well you can incur the wrath of easy-going, slow-to-anger val, no matter how harshly i might've reprimanded you, I want you to know that I'll always love you as an elder cousin, no matter what.
Just try to be a bit nicer, for kemama's sake.
