stuff on my mind..

just some random and completely unrelated thoughts..

1) Ryan Cabrera is a f**king rip off of Howie Day! it bugs the heck out of me when ryan fans declare that howie is a copy of ryan! ergh..
yes it's true that they are somewhat alike in terms of their image (the similarities end there..)but.. the whole guitar playing singer songwriter thing..and the hair..ergh..the first time i saw ryan cabrera hair..i told my sis "oh my goodness he overdid the howie day hair!"
the least they can do is get their facts right? oh maybe they're just not capable..coz that would just bring their world (that possibly only revolves around their beautifully talented ryan ) crashing down when they find out that..ohh my god..his image...isn't orginal!!?!

i just realised that i sound so juvenile..goodness..
the point is i'm not a cabrera fan if you haven't already noticed..and i just think it's a huge pity that good music isn't appreciated enough locally..instead the locals idolised crap or mediocre bands/singers. ryan cabrera is a good example..he's a guitar playing singer songwriter..so? i don't think he's good..his music is forgettable. but yet people like him. what about other similar singers like jason mraz..and damien rice?

it's abit sad


2) the skin around my nose is peeling slightly...it's all coz i've been snotty/sneezy for the last 4 days! ew..i been applying aloe vera on it and sometimes..my mango flavoured lip balm when i don't have any aloe vera and i'm desperate for some coz it looks like my nose has dandruff..


3) i don't think i've mentioned this.. we (as a family) got our 2nd family car almost 2 weeks ago.
yuuuup...which means i've been driving the snazzy little red sirion around since then!
it's quite fun..i've since gotten quite used to the car..i still make silly mistakes but nothing serious..thank goodness! but it's nuts driving on the road really...ALOT of rubbish drivers..who aren't very nic e to new drivers..drivers who don't signal...who tailgate you..highbeam you..horn at you..drive dangerously close to you to change lane..drivers who try to lane change when you're still in the way(!!!!) yea.. my sisters still think i'm aleeeetle reckless..yes i know i am..i think i got that from my dad.. but yes i've also promised to drive as safely as i can everytime


4) we got lost the other day! our first driving mis-adventure! woohooooo!
it was quite an experience for my sis..who was the driver coz i was sick! so yea..we missed turns - we realised that we should be turning only when it's too late. we got on the wrong side of the expressway - yup! we had to go toward changi airport instead of towards our house coz we weren't familiar with the lanes and well..drivers who weren't willing to slow down just a little to let us change lane. it was quite crazy! coz we had to deal with pedestrains who think they own the road and drivers who didn't give way and impatient cabbies..
but we made it home eventually! it was a combined effort - me & my sis -my sis for driving well and me for directing..yay for us!


5) there are so many species of stupid children in my neighbourhood. *sigh*

the 'starers' - those who might die if they don't stare - they make up the majority of the stupid children population in my estate.

the 'carpark skater boys' - a bunch of delinquent boys who like to play around with their skate boards in a multi storey carparks..on the slope that connects between 2 floors.. very smart.

the 'ignorant pain-in-the-asses' - hmm...they're generally scattered all around the estate..appearing at various times of the day and night..usually only concerned with whatever silly thing they're doing.
a recent encounter of mine..involved slowing down the car where a handful of these children were standing about a few metres away..staring at my headlights for several seconds..before deciding to move away from the center of the road to the pavement.
once again..very smart. they think the entire freaking neighbourhood is their playground..
i wonder what the heck their parents tell them..

the 'rich & spoilt stupid' - don't even get me started...here's a link

yea..that's about it for now. should you ever encounter any of the above named species of normanton park kid..please..feel free to scold/stare back/hit them..they deserve it.
stay tuned for an upcoming episode where i'll talk about the various species of stupid normanton park adults..
