arrivedshocked&conquered at 8:11 PM ❤


so i'm sitting here trying to multi-task blogging and completing my Bio essay. i have to admit this whole Multi-tasking thing is one of my biggest flaws ... i rmb being laughed in the face by Bernie when i had to stop walking every 2 steps to take sips of Milo.
ohmygosh, i'm not the most precautious person, but i also really wouldnt describe myself as being a Klutz. but did i embarrass myself in front of the entire office at school today. so i walk out of the washroom, and i see the Cleaner Uncle mopping the floor and in the effort to be considerate, i jumped over the newly mopped area, hoping to land on both feet like every normal person. but instead, i find myself in mid air for aboout 30 seconds and landing on my ass (with enough cushion, thank God) and sliding right into a desk. it was like, ZXSYDBGYGBYGNGHSYBGFCGBXZXPOP BAM! and i think i was like, sitting in shock for about 10 seconds before laughing uncontrollably at myself. after the laughing fit, i realised the entire office was shaken by the noise i made and turned to look at the pathetic girl who had just made a fool out of herself, and i'm sure the teachers werent pleased that as several international families came in to register, a klutz of a student makes a din for an impression.
ohmygod, seriously. SO EMBARRASSING.

our teacher told our class that she would be giving us smthg similar to a questionaire where we would tick our good points and state how or where we've taken part in any school activites. i, for one, got excited over this; stating my good points is smthg i've perfected over the years. kidding. or not. we had several modest students raising their doubts, and in the midst of it all, Amanda states "This is not the time to be modest." and i second that bad. i've even given it enough thought and have decided that if i wish to make less a fool of myself, instead of signing up for any sort of sports during The Sports and Games Day, i would sign up for Chess. WHY IN THE WORLD, you ask. well, simply because it's possibly the Most Boring game ever invented, so i highly doubt there would be an audience watching your every move and i'd imagine whoever my opponent would be, be matured enough to not boast to the entire school he beat a graduating student. unless he wishes to be beaten and taunted.

going back to what i normally am Not. allergic. yeah, my brother's the allergy- prone one in the family. as a kid, he suffered frm really serious eczeme and was basically covered in calamine lotion from head to toe 24 hours a day, every single day. a thousand and one food allergies to you know, crocodile soup and preserved oysters. and having super sensitive skin to cat's fur. i, on the other hand, was pretty much immune to all of this... unsure about either crocodile soup nor preserved oysters but we'll just keep it that way. HOWEVER, the impossible happens and i dont know what it was that i had on friday night (could have been one of two plates of chicken rice, or the chee kueh, or the tasting of Nel's curry or half an entire watermelon filled with canned peaches and logans or the pork stock i had during our 2am snack). regardless of what it was, i woke up on Saturday morning feeling in tip- top shape and i head to the bathroom to wash up and find myself staring at my reflection for about a whole minute before blinking as the current state of my face hits me. honestly, i looked like a Botched Facelift. it was WACK! my lips were full Jay Z vibes and it looked like i injected my cheeks with about 20 ounces of saline, jut for kicks. i didnt know what to do and being in complete and utter shock, i started slapping my face hoping it'd shrink back to what it was. it started hurting so i stopped. i saw a friend after school today and she said it looked like i put on just about 5kg just on my face and neck over the weekend. Wonderful.

CHANTAL'S gotta boogie!
