The craving for Ice-Cream.

Accompanied Cheryl, Michelle and Ariel to Sim Lim Square to get their FC100V. Already got mine last year but it's the older version, FC100. It's no longer in production, and the amazing and ridiculous thing is, sellers actually jack up the price from the original $48 to a freaking $59. Can't blame them though. That's just how business goes. Luckily the new FC100V is approved for use during exam. If not my friends would have to pay a freaking $60 for a calculator. But no choice, gotta get it for Investment module.

After getting the calculators, we headed to Bugis Junction for lunch. Went to get the calculators during our 4 hours break. After lunch, Michelle and I had this craving for ice-cream. Because it was like SO warm. Well, Cheryl suggested getting a tub of ice-cream from the supermarket cause we didn't want the ice-cream from McDonald. There's McDonald in school and it's like way cheaper, so why would we want to get it from outside? (anyway, Cheryl said she'll slap us if we buy McDonalds ice-cream)

Anyway, we headed to Cold Storage. The ice-cream varieties there are pathetic. We stood there for a long time, trying to decide the flavor. Ended up buying this 1.5L of 3-in-1 flavor of yam, corn and mango. Cheryl kept saying that she can't believe we did that cause she was only joking when she suggested doing that. Haha.

Then the big problem struck us. We don't have spoons and we don't have anywhere for us to have the ice-cream. After walking here and there, we finally decided to just sit at the foodcourt and get it done and over with. Michelle got spoons from one of the stall and all the while we were laughing nonstop. The thought of getting chased out from the foodcourt was hilarious.

So we had our ice-cream at the foodcourt and all the while, people walking past us kept looking at us. It was hilarious. Well, 1.5L of ice-cream proved too much for us 4 ladies so we didn't finish it.

In a nutshell, it was a really fun day. So happy. Haha. Love hanging out with them. It was great.

My Mind : A Whirlpool.

Why do I suddenly feel so messed up?

My mind is filled with him, I haven't do my tutorials, I haven't iron my clothes, I haven't finish arranging my desk.

This is total crap.

Anyway, having one of those headaches again (thump thump thump). Can't these headaches and thumpings leave me alone? Oh my goodness. I'm actually blabbering. What should I do?

Suddenly J's matter popped up in my mind. What should I do with him? He's a nice chap. But I can't be unfair to him. I'm still in love with my "he-whose-name-shall-not-be-mentioned".

Well, forget about J. My "he-whose-name-shall-not-be-mentioned" is more important to me. Unless it's a definite conclusion, or else I will not do anything "infidel" to him. Gosh, aren't I a good woman?

Shit! What is going on? My mind is so messed up right now. A freaking whirlpool I say. Anyway, shall try to contain my sanity. Argh. Have to go do my tutorials now or I'll be busted tomorrow. Lesson at 8am tomorrow so gotta sleep early.

Sayonara! *hugz & kisses*

Reminiscence.

Yesterday I was watching Smallville and towards the end of the show, the last few minutes of the show, I was reminded of something.

Reminiscence.

The last few minutes of the show was playing the part whereby Clark and Lois were smiling and looking at each other. The smile on Lois was sweet and the look of Clark was captivating. I was totally touched by that scene and thought to myself, what a beautiful moment it was. How I hope I was Lois.

Tom Welling.

Just reminds me of him.

And suddenly, I was reminded of "he-whose-name-shall-not-be-mentioned".

I miss him. So much.

The resemblance was so uncanny. The Tom Welling at that exact moment reminded me of him. I've been contemplating for awhile whether or not to look him up. Just wanna talk to him. No. I NEED to talk to him. Been popping over to find him but only manage to see him during one of my visit. The one I mentioned in my earlier post. Popped over 2 other times but didn't see him around. I still remember how frightfully nervous I was during the last 2 visits. Just like how I felt when I handed him the letter on Feb 04.

I will find him one of this day and talk to him. I will.

I miss you so much. But you will never know.

What's the problem with these people?

Imagine this scenario:

Your guy friend (aka ex-boyfriend), messaged you one fine day. He hasn't messaged you for awhile and suddenly just dropped a "how are you" message. So you just replied him, telling that you're doing fine and stuff. After awhile, his next message was :"So how are you and your boyfriend?" You decided not to reply him regarding that question (as this wasn't the freaking 1st time he asked you that), and thus replied him with something else.

His reply was: "How are you and your boyfriend?"

You got mad and just replied a crude: "Doing fine." And, he did not message you anymore.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok. So this happened to me recently. I don't know why, but I just feel the urge to actually curse and swear. It's not the "whatever happens between my boyfriend and I are totally none of your freaking business" kind of reaction. But somehow, it's the "what's the freaking problem with you always asking me this you moron" kind of reaction.

I may appear to have over-reacted but like I mentioned, this isn't the first time this guy actually asked me that question. I mean, everytime when he message me, the first thing he ask about is me and my boyfriend? I know he's concerned but come on. In the first place, I'm single and the reason why I lied about having a boyfriend is because if I say I'm single, he'll pester me like a bug!

Hey! What's the problem with you? You dumped me first? And what is this? It also applies to this other moron who also used the same tactic! Hey both of you! Wake up your freaking idea please?! First of all, the messages you sent me were totally SO un-intelligent. Can you people please come up with a more constructive way of trying to get a conversation going? Oh goodness! This is sick! The only thing I'm reminded of is the fact that you people can't live without girls! I'm not a call girl or a back up wheel ok! And we are so TOTALLY over! Get a life you freaking morons! Hell yes.

Anyway, shall not get so agitated over un-intelligent people like them.

In a nutshell, my message to these people is... "Get a life and get over it. Stop being such a bugger and stop asking about me and my boyfriend."

Aww... Get lost!

Careless me.

Dear Bloggie...

I've sinned. I actually lost my Red Bottle Cap. I left it at the fastfood canteen and went home without it. I'm so freaking guilty right now. I miss my Red Bottle Cap.

Went back to the "crime scene" to check for evidence. But atlas. I found none. My Red Bottle Cap was gone forever. Interrogated some aunties there but they have no clue of where it is. I've failed. I've failed my duty as a care-taker. I've sinned!

Have no choice but to get a new Red Bottle Cap. It was terrible. I actually have to get a replacement. I can't believe what I'm doing. Anyway, got a smaller version of Red Bottle Cap. Looks like a baby version of Red Bottle Cap. I'll take great care of the new Red Bottle Cap. This I swear!

Anyway, been busy recently. The new school curriculum is driving me crazy. Haha. After I graduate, I'm gonna just bum around and live off my dad. LOL. Sorry dad. But gotta have a break.

Well, enough of my crap. Muahahahaha!

Depressing Me...

In the past few days, quite a number of things came up. This really leads me straight into depression. Or should I say withdrawal?

Now, I just feel like hiding. Hide away from whatever has happened, hide away from whatever will happen, hide away from everyone. Just, hide away from everything.

Things are moving too fast, and I am moving too slow. I can't breathe, it seems. I'm really tired. I need a break. A real good break, to prepare myself before strutting towards the hectic future ahead of me.

Who can I bloviate my problems to? I need someone. Somebody.

School is starting to feel like a burden to me. Little did I realize that from now till the day I graduate, I have to be on the move constantly. Let me illustrate it to you.

20 weeks TEP (in school from 8.30am - 6pm everyday) -> 13 weeks of study -> 2 weeks break -> 2 weeks exam -> 11 weeks IPP (working office hours everyday) -> Study. And then, graduate. I've already stated whatever breaks I have. As you can see, there's only a 2 weeks break for me to catch my breathe, and then move on.

I'm now in the 20th week of TEP and that means, starting from next week, it's back to classical modular studying. I really hope I'll be refreshed enough to do well for my new semester. I have to do well. I must do well.

Sounds like I'm exerting extra burden and stress to myself. But I can only say, I have to. Just hope I will not break down or just collapse. I'M A STRONG WOMAN!

Anyway, better not dwell too much into these depressing stuffs. Well, will be seeking a counselor before my new semester starts. Have some personal issues that need to be attend to, and many things in me that need to be pour out. Better fix an appointment soon.

Hmm, gotta go finish my assignments now. If not I'll get into deep trouble. LOL.

In a nutshell, my thought of the day: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHERYL! LOVE YA!"

Signing out. Tata.

My Little Affair of the Heart.

Surprisingly, it's a quiet day in school. And a wasted day too, because I did nothing at all. Tons of assignments screaming out to me to complete them. But alas, I remained unmoved. Unconcerned.

I'll be doing eleventh hour work again. Tsk tsk.

Dozed off on the train as usual and when I snapped out of it, I was at Yew Tee. Next stop was CCK and I decided to just drop off there. On an expedition I would say.

Went to Lot 1 and headed for the basement. Thought that I might find my baby carrots at the NTUC there but HAH, to my disappointment, they don't have it. So headed for the food court next.

The reasons I headed to the food court were: Main reason, hope to try my luck and see if I'll spot my "he-whose-name-shall-not-be-mentioned". Sub reason, buy desert. (i know i know, the sub reason is redundant)

So anyway, I was lucky. Spotted him.

He looked different this time round. But then again, he's always changing his style. So it's nothing out of the prehistoric era. How handsome and charming can he be? Totally.

Well, bought these 3 agar agar from this store. The flavours are yam, mango and pandan. Love the mango one. (real fruits in it, yummy yum) Also bought this strawberry cake at BreadTalk. Delicious! And pretty in pink too.

In a nutshell, my thought of the day: "I'm SO tired."

Signing out. Tata.

Desperate Housewives.

Ever wished for a life like that of Wisteria Lane?

If yes, which desperate housewife will you be?

Susan Mayer, the divorcee and single mom who will go to extraordinary lengths for love?

Lynette Scavo, the ex-career woman who traded the boardroom for boredom mixed with moments of sheer panic as mother of four unmanageable kids?

Bree Van De Kamp, the Martha Stewart on steroids whose family is about to mutiny?

Gabrielle Solis, the ex-model with everything she's ever wanted - a rich husband, a big house and, an affair with a 17-year-old gardener?

Edie Britt, the serial divorcee whose romantic conquests have everyone buzzing?

For me, I'll like to be Gabrielle Solis. Her look, figure and riches. Though she has it all, she is in fact, feeling empty inside her. Without a purpose in life (unless you consider shopping all day and having an affair as purposes). Nonetheless, I'll love to experience the bliss of shopping everyday and driving around in a convertible (and yes, strike out the affair part). And oh, I especially love the yoga part of her.

No matter who you chooses to be, every single desperate housewife has their own appeal. Different characteristics, different lifestyles, different styles and different sex appeal.

So look on closely at each of them and take a pick. And from there, you're on your way to Wisteria Lane.

Entering Bloggerville...

First and foremost, gotta welcome myself into the big old family of bloggerville. (YEAH! CHEERS! *applauds*) Well.. maybe not "old". "Old" is perhaps more befitting for that of a few centuries and above.

Well anyway, congratulate myself for posting my first ever blog post. (throws confetti into the air) I'm kind of delirious ain't I? Only 2 paragraphs and I've already got 2 "red caps".

Ok ok. Now to formally introduce my lovely blog to you, and you to my lovely blog. This is my humble and lovely blog, "Red Bottle Cap" aka Cappy. And Cappy, this is.. erm.. some really lovely audiences. Great. Now that we know each other, let's move on.

I name my blog as "Red Bottle Cap" because I've had a hard time trying to come up with untaken blog names. Tried "misanthrope", "mockingbird" (cos I like that song loads), "shucks", "shout out loud" and more. But somehow, they are all, unfortunately, taken. I realize however, that most of the names that I tried, the last entries are all dated back to 2000 or 2001. Can owners of blogs who ain't blogging no more please kindly delete that certain blog so that others have better chances of getting the name of their dream for their little bloggies? Pretty please?

Anyway, I ended up choosing "Red Bottle Cap" cause I currently just purchased this bottle with a red cap. How surprising.

Hmm.. since I mentioned about my recent purchases, I suddenly got the urge to talk about them.. Shall elaborate later on I guess.

HALT! (screeches) I shouldn't just leave my precious Cappy with only such a short and somewhat pathetic entry right? So here goes..

Today is a Monday and thus yesterday is a Sunday. And so on the lovely yet rainy yesterday (Sunday), I went grocery shopping. Sounds like a housewife huh? You wouldn't believe it. When I went past the baby section, this obasan actually tried to introduce diappy to me. But armed with my fabulous and lovely and classy pink MuVo Slim, with fabulous music pumping into my ears, I ignored her. What a disdainful act I performed. Ought to be shot. But I couldn't care less I suppose. And with that, I marched on. Pushing my trolley with me.

In a nutshell, I bought S$44.50 worth of grocery. That totals up to 20 items, which I half-dragged and half-pulled all the way home. I tried to make it look like an easy task though. But I guess no one thought so. Cause all eyes were on me.

Let me recount.. Bought: Fruits & Multigrain bread, Corn bread, Uncle Tobby breakfast bars, 200g picnic ham, 100g blackpepper ham, 2 Campbell chunky, 2 Campbell soups, Cranberry juice, 3 Browns yoghurt, Cherry tomatoes, 2 packs pocket tissues, Jacob's biscuit, toothbrush, Lipton infusion peppermint, and Bottle with red cap (Cappy).

So after lugging all that stuffs back home, my day was spent slacking away infront of the TV. And then Sunday changes to Monday and I'm in school again.

So that's how my rainy Sunday was spent.

Signing out. Tata..!
