“How would you react if ( Read more... )

"Oh Humbert Humbert, you never write! You never call!"
Over lunch, my parents revealed their idea of an ideal son-in-law.

THE MOTHER: Ping, you like Western food, don't you?
PING: (preoccupied with demolishing her steak) Mm, yes.
THE FATHER: She has to marry a Caucasian.
THE MOTHER: But it must be a Caucasian who can speak Chinese!

Windows on the World 2008: The Season's Change Was A Conduit

The WoW trip was such a momentous week that my IB life henceforth shall be divided into Before Bintan and After Bintan. Since the commencement of the year, I have not enjoyed such a guiltless, frolicsome week! And what marvelous company!

I know it was inevitable but the charming people of my class have (finally) stumbled upon this Den of Iniquity. Despite coming into contact with my morally-suspect ramblings, they have not withdrawn their friendship! I am eternally grateful and remain at their service.

Much to my dismay, I have recently discovered that I have the singular Convent trait of Leaving Scandal In My Wake. Unwittingly. Alas, I fear the taint of the Convent will never leave me. But I am a Good Christian Schoolgirl now! Though it pains me to say that few believe it.

Thanks to the COSMIC IRONY of the universe, I enter a school filled with ( Read more... )

This humble Livejournal gets an unintended amount of public exposure. In a sequel to Unnerving Incidences of Unsolicited Public Advertisement:

PING: ...  I don't know, but it better not be some strange sexual euphemism.
CHRIS: I'm Eating The ( Read more... )

Frankly, I'd much rather be in school than on this pseudo-holiday. What have I been doing all this while, pray tell, that has kept me from Livejournaling? Surely they must be tasks of great magnitude and consequence!

All right. Firstly, I realise this humble Livejournal has a wider readership than I anticipated. To give you just a few examples:

ACSI ORIENTATION: I Can Go The Distance... From Toa Payoh to Buona Vista

Oh flist, I apologise for my negligence. The absence of frantic bulletins on this eljay (at a time when everybody is indulging in updates) might speak for the worse, but no. ACSI is everything it promised and I hoped it to be. I am thrilled to be here and surrounded by the ( Read more... )

A Sign of Changing Times: I Put the 'king' in Baking!
Today is a day of firsts. Andrew and I went Christmas shopping, during which I cast doubts on his (ostensible) masculinity and took everything he said out of context and twisted it to support my argument.

Andrew is my GA3 friend and (according to him) heir apparent to drama presidency at ACS ( Read more... )
