alarm barely starts to ring… and LQ bolts up in bed, frantically scrambling for the phone to shut it off so it won’t wake up EVERYONE else…

LQ gathers her stuff and makes off for the bathroom…

SL usually found tossing about in bed around the time the alarm goes off, i think he’s not a very heavy sleeper, while LL remains like a comatose log. heh.

20min later, LQ’s done… she goes over to SL’s bed and tugs the bedcovers three times…

‘Your turn…’

then she goes put on a battery of skin stuff and make up and sort out her hair…

20min later, SL’s done… and now here’s where the challenge starts…

LQ: GL, your turn, wake up leh… you bathing or not?

GL: no… i just change…

LQ: ok, quick go change…

GL: yes mam deadpan expression and monotonous voice…

LQ: (i think i’ve just acquired a philipino/indonesian maid)

LQ: oio, LL, get up get up get up and go and bathe!!! has to make a lot of noise to get LL up and going…

Then we wait and we wait and wait some more…

LQ: LL, are you done yet? we going to eat breakfast liao leh…

LL: Ok mum, i’m almost done! you all go first k!

TOP 10 TURN ON-s (no particular order)

1. Guys who are stable and dependent.

2. Guys who smell nice. (and not necessarily the cologne kind of smell ok) YAY! hehehe… so comfortable wat…

3. Guys who HAVE interests apart from the usual work, school, coffee, music, movies, sports, gym…

4. A guy who really listens, and asks appropriate questions, or at least is patient enough to sit through it? That’s one god-send manz…

5. **very important** one who cares… like tells me to be careful of a hidden step somewhere (it’s crucial for me cuz i walk around like i’m blind), who asks me if i’m feeling better when i’m ill, who does all the small little things to show that he thinks of me.

6. If they look hot! hahaha… Hot for my definition lah, and my definition isn’t all the usual kind of HOT!

7. Guys who are confident (but not overly so).

8. That certain sheepish kind of look… Seriously, i don’t expect a guy to be all that guy ALL the time… sometimes i want to be the guy ok.

9. Knowlegeable = so can talk about anything under the sun with me!

10. Funny. MY kind of humour. Don’t give me the lame jokes, very qiam pah wan ok!

TOP 10 TURN OFF-s (no particular order)

1. Boring, stupid guys who have nothing else to talk about except school/work/daily happenings and the freaking weather, and can’t maintain an intellectually stimulating conversation with me.

2. Guys who are too mushy. GROSS… stay at least 3 arm-lengths away from me. Romantic is ok, but not mushy. Know your limits.

3. B.O. don’t even come sit within 4 seats from me!

4. Glib-talkers, bootlickers, empty flattery. Doesn’t even come close to making me feel good about myself, on the contrary, makes me wonder if you’re trying to be sarcastic.

5. Guys who aren’t gentlemanly, and that includes opening the door, helping (or at least offering) to carry heavy stuff, who don’t wait for me when we’re walking together (especially if i’m in heels… hey, if i’m wearing uncomfy shoes, it’s partly for you, so please try to appreciate…)

6. Guys who check their parting/pimples/clothes or whatever everytime they pass a mirror or shop windows. *brrrrrr… so girly*

7. Wishy-washy, undecisive males. “Hmmm, maybe i’ll have this for dinner…. or hey, maybe i should get that instead! oh it’s so high in cholesterol, get salad lah…. oh but i’m so hungry, should i go for something else… … …”

8. Smoke. It’s either me or your cigarrette. And quitting doesn’t mean stopping for only 1 week, it means stopping for at least a year.

9. Talk too much. They gabble on and on and on about THEMSELVES, THEIR CARS, THEIR BODIES and THEIR LIVES. get a life… seriously.

10. Guys who agree with everything I say. You don’t have to please me just by agreeing with me. It makes me feel that you’re kind of spineless. Plus, I think some conflict spices up the relationship. Heh.

hmmmm and i tag SANZ and WENKY (seriously, sorry guy, i can’t think of anyone who might do this if i tag them…)

AHLEONG, rach tagged u… go do yours!

The pensieve - daily musings 1:14 am

one night in barcelona…

Ahleong got hungry (like always) and was craving for PANS (as usual), his face got the embossed P-A-N-S on it, and so dopey went with him to the PANS nearby to get him fed… while we were gone, LL and GL were chatting outside the hostel’s main entrance.

LL & GL: bitch bitch bitching…

Chinese nationale jogs up to them, relieved look on face: hai, zher you3 wang3 ba1 mah?

LL & GL (puzzled): huh?

GL: wan3 ba1 mah? you mean pub?

Chinese nationale: no, no…. wang3 ba1…

LL & GL: (still puzzled, what the heck wan ba?)

Chinese nationale: use the INTERNET…

LL & GL: ORHHHH!

LL: wo men bu zhi dao, yin wei wo men ye shi lu xing… no, lu ke!

~~~~~~ (ahleong and dopey return) ~~~~~~

LL & GL hurriedly and breathlessly (they were probably having stitches laughing at their pitiful mandarin) told us the entire account… when they said, wang3 ba1…

dopey: internet cafe huh?

LL, GL, ahleong: how you know?!?!?!

dopey: *smirks* my chinese not that bad wan ok!

heheheh…
