KATY PERRY :)

One of the Boys by Katy Perry

I saw a spider
I didn't scream.
Cause I can belch the alphabet
Just double dog dare me.
And I chose guitar over ballet.
And I tape these suckers down
Cause they just get in my way.

The way
you look at me
is kinda like a little sister.
You high five
your goodbyes.
And it leaves me nothing but blisters.

So I don't want to be one of the boys.
One of your guys.
Just give me a chance
to prove to you tonight.
That I just wanna be one of the girls.
Pretty in pearls.
Not one of the boys.

So over the summer something changed.
I started reading Seventeen
and shaving my legs.
And I study Lolita religously.
And I walked right in school
and caught you
staring at me.
Cause I know
what you know.
But now your gonna have to take a number.

Cuz I don't want to be one of the boys.
One of your guys.
Just give me a chance
to prove to you tonight
That I just wanna be a homecoming queen
Pin up poster dream
Not one of the boys.

I wanna be a flower
not a dirty weed.
I wanna smell like roses
not a baseball team.
And I swear maybe one day
Your gonna wanna make out
Make out, make out with me

For Berns!

tennis vs golf

I just read an article on tennis vs golf and i really like this paragraph. It makes me miss tennis alot.

"There is only one moment in tennis when that game comes within shouting distance of golf. That moment occurs when your opponent, having been driven to the baseline by the fury of your return, takes a lunging, desperate swipe at the ball and catches just enough of it to lob it 50 feet into the air, a marshmallow, and the ball is spinning so slowly that you can see the seams on its cover, and it floats high above the net and drifts gently toward the farthest corner of your end of the court, and you instantaneously calculate its trajectory and drop back into the perfect position to smack it to oblivion, and all your options are spread out before you, and you can see your opponent shuffling nervously at the edge of your field of vision, and you know exactly what you want to do, and you set your feet and take your racquet back slowly, and the ball drops perfectly into the circumference of your swing--teed up, as it were--and you dump the thing into the net.

A golf moment. The only one in tennis. Case closed."

Sigh. i hate it when all my friends have to leave to go overseas and leave me in Singapore.
Today i'm going running for the first time in 2 weeks. Not sure if my ankle can take it though :(

i feel colourful.

This morning i met carmen and zhen for breakfast at coffee bean. Can you believe i've never eaten there before? Anyway, after that we left to go shop at orchard. We found an extremely nice PREPPY outfit for zhen from Topman that really suits him. It's like this vest with a formal white shirt and a skinny red tie. Too bad it costs $200.

<-- Zhen needs this vest!

We saw Dr Hjorth at Topman but we were too embarrassed to say hi to him. So Zhen kept an eye out for him and carmen skillfully maneuvered her way past him while i followed suit. It's so strange seeing our teachers outside of school.

Then ian and rachel met us at wisma and we went to food republic where we met Jose. I realize its quite fun choosing clothes for guys! haha i wanna be a personal shopper when i grow up! We gave jose and zhen makeovers. Ian listened to our advice but chose his own clothes anyway haha.

Wei jin came later to go and buy a guitar with ian. Got back at 5 cos we were tired. Going to learn the rest of jing xi's korean song now.

I ate soo much!
1. double chocolate chip muffin (for breakfast)
2. ice kachang with brown sauce only
3. 2 octopus balls
4. 1 ice cream cone
5. 2 spicy mcnuggets

OMG. Going out is so fattening.

i want cute pajama bottoms from David and Goliath.
