just when i needed you most.

THAT'S IT MAN WILLETTEWEE I'M BLOGGING.
And this post is dedicated to gourmet, specifically willettewee, because it's just SO RELEVANT and SO TRUE and SO OBVIOUS it's like screaming, "hey look at me!" wait that's rather dumb. So here we go.

You know you're going loopy over an ahem local music talent/popularity competition when...

1) your sms inbox is flooded with things like, "no more tickets :(", or "how arh did you manage to get tickets?", or "eh help me buy mentos okay", or "ZOMG I'M JEALOUS OKAY!" yes you are jealous. wheehee :D and your email inbox is totally flooded with your good ol' photographer's attempts at professional photography >: D


2) you start becoming a portable video player with S I L V E R L I G H T and you start quoting the videos on a regular basis (regular as in REALLY regular).


3) you and your three wonderful friends team up together to buy a notebook despite being crippled by insufficient funds. And you scribble quotes from those videos (or in some cases THE ENTIRE VIDEO) into the pages of the poor notebook.


4) you start quoting the videos during PE, especially when people are trying to play floorball or trying to use the crashmats in the hall as HURDLES.


5) there's a lot of mentos on your table although you don't like eating the stuff.


6) your eyes totally light up and you start going bonkers with your friend during higherchinese B class, whenever you think you hear the teacher saying SAN YUE while going through the annoying zong he tian kong. It happened 3 times already leh.


7) you reach home at 10-11pm on monday nights.


8) you start envisioning yourself forming a band with your three friends. a band where EVERYONE wants to be the GU SHOU.


9) you and your friends all find a close affinity with a certain AHEM AHEM AHEM letter in the alphabet.


10) oh this is PERSONAL. :D you start sms-ing your friend's junior from another section, on a weekly basis (or more........). The same friend who goes bonkers with you when you think you hear your teacher saying SAN YUE yadayadayadayada during HCL. =_+


and so this is when you know you're nuts.



ANYWAY today was super fun spending i think close to EIGHT HOURS with yiying! :) going to church and then going shopping @ novena for a super long time. yay to my new-found weight loss partner/advisor! and the really small children's day treat at church was pretty hilarious because today the world discovered that a certain 3 uncles are super good actors, and that the kids were so stone that when they went up the stage to sing, all we saw was a couple of very short people fidgeting and kind of like lip synching to the aunties who were singing very very very loudly at the side. WAHA. but still, nice lah :)

STARTING FROM TOMORROW I WILL BE A GOOD GIRL AND DO TWO SETS OF HCL PAPERS SO I DON'T FEEL SO DISGUSTED BY THE COMPLETELY CLEAN STACK OF PAPERS ON MY OVERCROWDED DESK.

:' )

photos as promised! :)
GOURMET GOES TO SUPERBAND SF2 :Dbeing guai we decided to mug math before going.
willette and valsoh's fatface :D
yay :D eh dorcas is super cute!
TEMPLATE FACES with pretty banner!
eat mentos. it's good for you.
haha. the rest of the photos will probably be soon up on facebook in about 2-3 days time.
I suddenly took a liking to creating photo albums on facebook 'coz it's pretty easy and uh it's quite fun to tag people :)
I WANT SLEEP. even though I just woke up from a 2hour nap before dinner. eeyer post-EYA period has made me become a hog.
lesson learnt today: DON'T dilute your orange juice in a fervent attempt to cut on sugar intake. it's like drinking extremely-slightly-flavoured cold water with pulp swimming about everywhere. I WANT MY SWEET ORANGE JUICE BACK TOMORROW >: O
AND YESTERDAY TOTALLY ROCKED.
Because thanks to willette's superband fan competition skills and gourmet's redeeming skills, we went for last night's SF3. waha. I totally corrupted the whole gourmet. Okay no lah, gourmet just loves the same thing which means we all love superband (but doesn't apply to valsoh's tokio hotel though i'm sorry hahaha)! :)
mum thinks we're fanatic but amusing. +_=
But then this time gourmet didn't sit together like during last week's SF2 because wil and dorcas went to sit with their favourite wugeren and valsoh and I were sitting at dafengchui's area. Which was EXTREMELY FUN because after being annoyingly fickle and indecisive valsoh and I finally decided to chope two seats on the 4th row from the front, right at the extreme left side where the bands would go and stand to do their usual interviews right after performing.
THE TWO GAY MOOSES/MEESE BECAME PAPARAZZI FOR A NIGHT :)
taking photos has never been so exciting before.
although the quality of our cameras is neither substandard nor exactly very professional.
so our photos came out abit blur. but still nice :)
then we decided to be silly and say hello to lots of people like hideaki and uhh mr nuh after yishijie finished performing and went to the aisle at the side. :D
then during the interview mr nuh keep turning to pose for us to take photos arh! But too bad all of them came out blur.
OCTEO WANTS A BETTER CAMERA PLEASE.
and dafengchui's performance last night was the bestest best ever! sing my favourite luozhixiang song in my favourite key some more. :D valsoh was describing to the other two gourmets how I kept mutiliating her shoulders and arms in excitement.
and the second song = SUPERLY NICE :D
seriously after they finished singing my sms inbox was being momentarily flooded with smses from various people about how dafengchui pwned SF3 and everything! Even the judges say so :)
so yes hooray because
DFC'S THROUGH TO THE GRAND FINALS! :)
and then again don't be sad about wugeren gourmets2 and 4 because they were pretty good too! Okay I suppose at this point of the competition every band's standard should be veryvery super already. Hah. The wish yitong and I made came true- yishijie and dafengchui are both in the finals! so it's gonna be um clash of the titans in class from now on :D
oh joy!

euphoria and elephants.

i'm supposed to sleep before midnight today because mummy is sick and i shall be a very good girl and not let mummy nag so YES I SHALL SLEEP BEFORE MIDNIGHT.
means this post'll be a short one. :D

I can promise you that Gourmet has never been the same since Monday, Sept 15.
SERIOUSLY.
This is worse than our american idol hype because our dear old dorcas does watch superband on an extremely regular basis (but less regular than MEMEMEMEMEMEEEEEEEEE). Oh no gourmet's becoming nuts. Used to be Superband hype every tuesday. now it's hype galore TWENTY FOUR SEVEN.

heehee!

that's why tomorrow I shall not go wandering about at TM after school but go home and hurryup blog about MONDAY (and the subsequent days of hype).

next monday?
not very sure leh.
i hope i hope i hope i hope i hope i hope with all my heart!

my mushroom (and superband) pwns!

MY ONCE-A-MUSHROOM FRIEND PWNS!
happy sweeeet sixteenth willette wee! :) woohoo four years together in the same class, just like the other weird and crazy gourmets! We hope you enjoyed (and was thoroughly entertained) by Gourmet's painstakingly painted present and the DBSK poster and the dragon monster mask which you can now wear together with us! Two spiders and two dragon monsters. wow. I think willettewee's too smart for our attempted stealth the day before yesterday, where dorcas unfortunately took 190 together with our birthday girl and the whole time she was already highly suspicious of what we were up to :O and valsoh and I were so hungry/thirsty that we went to mosburger @ plaza sing to eat burger and drink milkshake while waiting for dorcas but in the end we had to rush down to the MRT station to meet her. Alamak then I sort of insisted on going back to valsoh's place to get the black cloth we were going to sew onto the willette's custom-made shirt. By the time we reached my place it was already 7 plus and boy was dad shocked to see us when he came home +_=

Butbutbut it was pretty fun 'coz we were busy playing random things on the piano and eating and eating and eating some more and squeeeeeeezing the little tubes of fabric paint till we had numb thumbs and WATCHING SUPERBAND VIDEOS :) gourmet's new favourite pasttime! which reminds me. valsoh has a pronounciation AND balancing problem. seriously.
1) valsoh pronounces LOIS as LOYSE. .... we were watching family guy. and hyperventilating over it. again.
2) valsoh was groping (sounds wrong zomg) about in the train while talking to us and accidentally mistook a poor innocent woman's arm for the POLE.
but i think gourmet's present turned out pretty nice don't you think! Too bad we didn't get to take a photo of the shirt because we were too busy laughing at it.

Who's got a shirt with an oddly-shaped polkadotted tie, a BEACH BALL (babe), random quotes, Edna Mode's surname and a star that has disgusting armpit hair, and truckloads of love?

NOW THIS HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL DOES! :)

hope you had fun willettewee BECAUSE WE DID! (especially the lunch @ BK which went from moderate to hyper to super hyper to extreme SOAP MODE to super nuah.) Heh heh.

SUPERBANDSF1!!! :)

us two! :)

Our banners for dafengchui are super amazing can. Done at most 3 hours before the whole thing started! but hooray our banners were spotted! *smirks at valsoh*

four very happy (and tired) peoples. me, chuashiMEAN, yitong and valsoh! yitong's sister makes a very good photographer.

It was super cool I tell you if I had blogged about this on Monday night I probably wouldn't be able to sleep after that. Seriously I slept at 2 that night because I couldn't stop looking at the pictures in my camera. We mustmustmustmustmust thank yuanjun for managing to get so many tickets and for being super generous to let us have them! We didn't get to sit together (coz shimin yitong and her sister were sitting with yishijie and me and moose at DFC) but we had super loads of fun before and after that! Especially admiring the pretty big houses on the way to mediacorp. ONE DAY we'll each own a house that big and invite each other over. AND if we ever want to go watch superband next time then we won't have to walk so far. :)

probably going to the roadshow this saturday! :) anyone coming along? (VALSOH I'M DRAGGING YOU THERE)

oh yesyesyes kenneth please be a himbo instead of a bimbo okay. :D
