jacq and rai

i think my mum is really stressed out with the impending wedding of my sister in a few weeks time.
All of a sudden i see furniture being shifted around, curtains getting hemmed, weird red decorative stuff being bought and so much more.
And since then, my mum has been nagging at me non stop to pack/clear/clean my room cause there's gonna be guests at our house on the wedding day.
No.1, how about the guest go check out the bride's room instead of mine? Its not like i am the one getting married.
No.2, no one is gonna come into your hse and see if your curtains is of a nice length and open up my wardrobe and check if i have stacked my t-shirts neatly.

Okay, that aside, i promised my mum that i will get the room done by the 19th anyway cause being such a good daughter, i'll just let it go.
BUT NOOO..
She comes in every freaking day and shakes her head and leave. Not 1 day, not 2 days, EVERYDAY.
On a typical day, i just continue with whatever i was doing( ususlly watching a movie on my laptop) and ignore her
My cue to start screaming came when she stood at the door and wouldnt leave until i acknowledge her presence

##
me: yes mum, what do you want?
mum: can you please clear you room, i dont wanna keep reminding you everyday
me: i am clearing a bit at a time and i promised you it will be done by the 19th, even if i have to stay up all night on the 18th I WILL GET IT DONE!
mum: why do you have to wait till then to do? cant you just do it now?
me: because if i do it now, i would mess it up again before the 19th and i dont wanna pack twice.
mum: why cant you just stop watching your videos and pack you room
me: so, when do you want it done by? Give me a date. You said 19th and i am gg to clear by the 19th, but you keep coming in everyday to bug me. Pick a date. 15th? tomorrow? when?
mum: why cant my daughter be clean and neat. I give up!
me: I promise the 19th and i will get it done. there's no need to give up
##

how irritating was that?
to have someone come into your room and tell you what to do with it.
I admit its kinda messy now.
but dont judge me.
personal hygene is subjective.
this may be clean to you


but this IS actally still quite clean to me


i mean, those are just clothes and clean ones FYI. i just dont have the time to pack them into my wardrobe yet.
I am really trying to pack it a little at a time, rome wasnt built in a day and you cant expect my room to miraculously clear up within a day right?
My mum should really treat me better, now that my sister is married and gone and my brother is gg off to serve the nation next week.
If she pisses off her only daugther available to her, who is gonna amuse her?
Shoudlve thought of that before you come shaking your head in my room everyday right??
tsk tsk... a little too late mamma.. a little too late...

okay.
i usually dont stay pissed at my mum for too long cause she would usually bring me something nice to eat and i get happy when i see food.
Today, she brought me Siew mai and cherry.
I'll deal with the siew mai later, let's talk about the cherries first
You know what they say about being able to tie a cherry stem knot with you tongue means you are a good kisser and all the crap.
Im gonna bust the myth once and for all!!

So here is me, with the cherry stem


and then i remembered that all these cherry stem, kissing thing has some sexy vibe to it and there i am looking all jolly with the stem in my mouth.
This is not the way to go jacq.
This is the reason why no one wants to comment on your blog, its cause you're not paying enough attention to such minute details.
Its all about the details baby.
Okay, so, what is sexy i thought. And i think elizabeth hurley in bedazzeled.
take 2.
me with the devil horn headband. A she devil is always sexy.


wait.. i think i look like a jolly cow
Okay think jacq, smeyes. Smile with your eyes and add a little fierceness, you didnt spend all your time watching america's next top model for nothing.
take 3


take 4


okay. I give up.

So i googled, "tying a cherry stem" and it brought me to one of those wiki how page and i followed all the instructions and voila!


easy peasy breezy
and then i tried other variations and there you go, a braid!


this is for when you meet a vampire and need protection urgently, use 2 cherry stems.


when i realised my tongue was so nimble, i thought, i shall try the advanced style.
and even i surprise myself this time.


an ant!
so this leads me to conclude this myth has been confirm that ppl who can tie cherry stems are damn good kissers.
and if you can do the ant, you can suck the soul out of the other person like a dementor.
awesome.

So there's this food fair going on at the expo and my brother and mother are all excited over it.
I think my brother goes there with his gf like everyday and he nvr fails to come back with bags of food and one weekend, my mum tagged along coming back with more food.
resulting in this


So she bought this siew mai from the food fair which we had for dinner cause i wasnt that hungry


looks good right?
one huge ass prawn plastered to the top.
look at the name.


okays.

finally,
i was chatting with rizal and he said that he's addicted to the word LOL
i think the siew mai king is def a LOL moment
sadly, i dun ever use LOL when i chat
instead, i use haha
cause haha is the sound you make when you laugh.
i just think its more natural to type out the sound you make rather than describe what you are actually doing
no?
all LOL users, you are weird!!!

okay, im off to pack my room again.
** waves hand in left to right manner with palm facing you**
weird right???
and there you have it.

p.s: the cherry knot tying thing, i cheated. Its impossible!!

GTG!

have you ever experienced a situation when you are chatting with someone online,
and just when you are starting to get into the flow of the conversation, he or she says:

leonardo dicaprio say:
hey jacq, i gtg!

jacq says:
no problem leo, talk to you some time soon! bye!

x leonardo dicaprio - has left the converstion

and then half an hour later,
leo still remains online!
online
[] leonardo dicaprio- my heart will go on

not that i am being a psycho freak or anything, but you're stuck there wondering if they do not wanna talk to you and hence they say they gotta go.
why dont they wanna talk to me?
and for some reason, i become obsessed with their online status wondering and thinking of all the possibilities that couldve really cause the premature exit of the convo and if they are really gone for real.
have you ever wondered about this ever? im sure you have!
im actually guilty of that myself too. But i'll try to be more tactful and appear offline cause i just dont wanna talk to anyone at all.
see, "ourtesy begins with me and you" i quote the kind lion from the courtesy campaign.
but i cant rmb his name.

right?
actually,i shant ask for ur comments anymore, cause no one seems to be commenting anyways.
and ppl who previously commented got their comments deleted anyway.
hah!
let it go jacq, u're such a b*tch!

You know what's embarassing?

Well.. because im bored like that, i shall attemp to blog about a decent topic.
Not toooo decent but it beats the one liners that ive been coming up with huh?
Although this is probably gonna be quite an awesome post, i can feel it in my bones already, note that the star attraction is the post before this.
Note to self, bookmark it, safe picture as, add formaldehyde to it, whatever to preserve it.
or....
i should just start the post with this, just to remind all of you.


Take that melati!
NO! I'm kidding! I love you, you know that:)
A back view is still a view okay. Shoulders with a bit of hair(and fazly's hands)
Okay, enough of self indulgence.

You know what's really embarassing?
I can bet everyone a dollar that this situation has arose sometime in their life and more than once for sure, but it seems that we just brush it off all the time and pray for it to be over soon.
So what it it already?

I was watching a rented DVD with my family over dinner last sunday night and everyone was cuddled around the sofa just watching when suddenly.....
the couple started making out.


AWKWARD.
What is amazing is that the scene only lasted for about 5 secs or less, but amazingly, within such a short 5 secs, my mum got up and went to the kitchen to get a drink or something. Lets just say she left the tv "coincidentally" when the make out scence was playing and only returned way after the scene was over.
You may call me a skeptic but i sure as hell do not think it was a coincidence cause deep deep deep down inside, i wanted to leave the hall as well.

It just wrong wacthing a love scence with your family right?
It's not so much of a question.
Change that ? to a .
Right.
Even when you are watching lets say a movie with your friends i think the reaction you show will also be carefully thought through. So what people really often do is to say something random to fill out the awkward silence in between.

##
Couple makes out
you: you know, i never understand why a young of a pig is a piglet and the young of a bull is not a bullet
friends: yeah! You know right. Not that i know a lot about pigs. I can't eat them.
couple still making out
##

Well, the other question is what do you do?
Its really quite confusing cause you dont really what reaction you really want.

##
Couple makes out
You play it cool. Pretend that nothing is happening and continue watching
But, NO. But if you keep staring your friend might think you're checking them out or something that you are not getting any of it youself.
Okay, look away. Just look away.
But, NO. If you look away, your friend might know you are really uncomfortable with a love scene.
##

So did i get it right? This constant battle that is going on in your mind when a love scene is showing?
I think it also applies to magazines as well.
Like in Cleo, they have this Sex and Men page when you DO NOT, i repeate, DO NOT read in public cause its just weird.
Well, at least for me. I will just skip through that page and read the entire thing and when i get home i forget toatlly about that page cause i assume that i have finished the magazine already.
This explains why my classmates are always coming up with terms that i do not understand and i get really confused becasue i assume that when they as you if you've been kissed on both lips they literally meant the 2 lips everyone has on your mouth, but NOOOOOOO.
Go figure. EWWW.

SO.... WHAT DO YOU DO?
Have you got suggestions? Let me know.
I say, my mum was brilliant.
You just walk away.
Bye.

p.s: i finally appreciate my the tiger stripes(or shld i say preens) head scarf from africa:)
animal theme party anyone??

Stop ringing my door bell or......

ding dong!

who's GOH?

go figure.
i sure didn't.
ICPESS day 1, check.
Its kinda shitty knowing the fact that the work load isnt equally spread out amongst all the student helpers.
Now, my only saving grace is that my group mates are nice. Otherwise i can always hope over to room 58 where the all the retards and 2/3 of the PPGs are in.
This is my current groove to song now.
Do the hellen keller and talk with your hips!
Except that... What the heck is the Hellen Keller??


**PPGs, we shld do a sing-a-long video for this!!**

1230am.
Sleep.

I still don't like cats after watching shrek forever after

Oh gawd!
She must be the youngest person to be hit by the Bieber fever!
Precious little baby, singing the song "baby"! How apt...



Turquoise, will you be nice to me tomorrow?

Russell, you are my sole survivor!!!

I wonder if my paddle will glow when i pick it up for the first time.
You know just like when Harry Potter picked up his wand at Ollivanders.


It's been such a long time. I cant belive ive slack off that long.
I wonder if Macritchie, sans me became a better place?
Story of my life, cause im lazy like that.

PPT and tennis session in school today.
And i would have to say that i wasn't as bad at tennis as i had expected as i havent touched my tennis racquet since before the exams?
I threw a ball at a person's head today during PPT.
He asked for the ball and i threw it to him but he didnt catch it. The ball bounced straight off his head,upwards!
Imagine that scene. Funny, except that I would seem like someone who cant really throw a ball???
Again, story of my life!!

Anyway, my mum has been nagging at me to clear my wardrobe and room cause my pile of clothes i brought back from hall is still untouched since i have moved back.
So yesterday, i decided to start on what i thought was the easiest to clear which are the towels.
I took the whole pile out and threw away the ones is didnt want and use anymore and re-folded the ones i use. And here is the final product!


A nice and neat towels section.
So if you havent noticed, most if not all of my towels are yellow in colour. Different shades of yellow but nonetheless yellow.
My family adopts this colour system for towels which i think is pretty interesting and effective. It is quite simple actually where everyone in the family has a different colour for their towels. So when my mum buys towels for us, she would pick out our specific colour.
Mine obviously is yellow.
Sister's is pink
Brother's is blue
Mum's is green and dad's is of an assorted colour.
So, with this great system in place, sorrting of the laundry is so easy and there's no discrepencies to as to whom this towel belongs to!
Just sharing a little something something which i thought is quite neat.
Is it only in my family? Or do some of you adopt the same system too??
Tell me about it!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
What's that?
I think thats the sound of someone skiing down a mountain!!

I think im sleepy already!!!
Its 1:07am??
Probably the earliest i have slept this year!!
Dance with me people!!
Uh huh, oh yeah!!!!
NIGHTS!!!!

Hey soul sister!

NICOLE!!!!
Happy 22nd Birthday:)
First of all, we'll start with the birthday wishes!
I hope you stay happy and bubbly and may all your wishes come true! hahah.. Cliche much??
Anyway, i just wanna say, thank you so much for being such a dear friend to me the past 9 years. Though we may disagree and argue sometimes(all the time!) but im sure you know that we still love each other a lot.
Thanks for being such a wonderful host to me during my visit to Australia, i wish i could go back to explore more of down under with you( lesser shopping this time round), but i am still figuring out my schedule cause its dead pack with a lot of school stuff:(
So, if i cant go over, COME BACK!! Everyone in the group miss going to your house for sleepovers and dinner parties!
Just so you know, you can always call me if you need someone to talk to, if marcus is too busy with his exciting "happy" life!

Have a good one down under and i'll see you real soon!!!!
LOVE YA !
p.s: Hope u like your present part 1! Come back for part 2!!!

R.

After a long tiring day, this couldn't never have come at a better time

Door: *knock knock*
Jac: Come in!
Alvin: This is for you
Jac: What's this?
Alvin: It's your birthday present
Jac: oooh... what could it be? Its so huge. Thank you!


I stare at it for a moment trying to figure out the contents under the obviously selfed wrapped gift.
It was so big, it was square and rigid. It felt like a frame.
I thought it was a picture.
A picture of me?
Then i couldn't wait any longer and gave up the guessing game and started to unwrap the gift which took less than 5 seconds, reconfirming the self wrapped theory.

It was a framed picture alright..
A familiar face stared back at me and it was of...........


ROGER FEDERER!!!
This picture of him has been my desktop wallpaper for like ever! And i cant belive he managed to find it!
The thing is, whenever i come across shops that sell posters, i would just stop to ask if they have roger federer and each time i would be disappointed.
Yay my bro for remebering this.
Sometimes, its the small little details that you do or remember that really counts
And to top it off, the picture has a very artsy feel to it cause it has this
stain glass/ water colour effect to it! How cool...
What a lovely surprise
i love it so much!
Thank you my bro, now i have roger federe staring at me all day, everyday!

SALVATION JACQIE
please contribute! thank you:p
here!

Breaking......

When you are so bored,
with the program paint, voila!









p.s: thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes and love! birthday post up next!

theres a zombie on your lawn

I thought, before this blog starts turning into a fashion blog i better do something!
Reading the past few posts, i realised its all about fashion!!
so here i am to make it not so much about clothes, bags or shoes.

so the exams are finally over and after only the first day of hoildays, i thought to myself, boy 4 months is gonna be a way long time.
If you think about it, its longer than our academic semester!!

Ive been recuperating at home, staying in and just lazing around.
What is taking up most of my free time is.... the TV.
Catching up with unwatched shows, the star awards part 2/ survivor / american idol( boo you Casey james!!!)

**side tracking**

to all the idol watchers out there, do you think that Casey James shouldve stayed over Shiobhan Magnus? Personally i find him really boring cause whatever song he sings it sounds exactly the same. And no, i dont mean the same style, i mean it sounds like the same damn song. He doesnt like to take risks and always choose songs that sound similar. Compared to Shiobhan, she takes risks and performs. I seriouslly dont know what is wrong with America, but i couldn't care less cause this season of american idol totally sucks.
I know although Sarah is waving her pom poms for casey james she would agree with me 100% on this. Anyone can win this and its doesnt really matter to me cause they wouldnt outsell Adam Lambert anyway. Somehow, in terms of performances, Adam is the mark to beat(at least for me). I would compare every single performace to Adam Lambert's and go "nah... not good enough"
So yeah, GO Lee or Aaron!! Dont let bowersox win! She is too overated.

** end of idol bitching**

Its funny cause watching tv is something which i thought i would die not doing everyday but got used to not doing after i moved into hall.
But now that i am back home, the routine automatically fell right back in place.
Hence it cements the fact behing this line "a leapord never changes its spot"

So anyway, ive been watching alot of TV and also playing the awesome game called "Plants vs Zombies"
I actually bought the game off the internet for 6.99usd and i cant belive i actually did that cause buying stuff online, yes, thats me. But buying games?? Hell to the no.
Before you think its some counter strike esque or left 4 dead game, it is so not. Look at the banner!


Basically, its a defence tower game where you protect yourself from the zombies that are coming to eat your brains.
And how do you do that?
You plant an assorment of plants on your front yard, back yard and roof and your plants will somehow defend you by shooting peas and spikes and stuff like that depending on their ability.


Its really fun because its strategic and really smart.
They've got really cute zombies with different abilities as well


This is the dancing zombie that would do the MJ trailer dance and moonwalk down your yard to try to eat your brains.
Its damn fun!
There is a 1 hr trial where you can try the game for an hour.
I think you should try it. Just google plants vs zombies.

Went out with the PE peeps on friday to watch Daniel mr Sexy saxophone and his band perform at CMPB at dempsey hill.
They play really nice and current songs, and apparently Sixx which is their band is up and coming in the local music scene.
So if you wanna go listen to them, they play every friday at CMPB!
CMPB has really nice ambience and great food. Try the wagyu beef if you can order only 1 item!
heres Mr Saxy and his band mates.



whats so funny melati?!


random photos with caleb don aloy and cheng wei



okay.
thats about it.
My birthday is on mother's day!!
talk about being mummy's girl
this is the ultimate testimony.

38

love this pair of gold zara sandals
was about to pay for it when melati gave me the stare, rolled her huge eyes and said
"so much for not wanting to spend money"
i placed it back and left the store crying
now i cant stop thinking about it.
boo you and your freakishly large eyes!
