I have fully recovered from the maths camp! it was a lazy hazy blast. we obsessively listened to mona lisa smile, the best movie soundtrack i have found, and listened to 'hee dee dee ding dong, ylang ylang ylang, boom ba doo, ba doo ba doo doo dee. oh, life could be a dream, if i could take you up in paradise up above, if you could tell me that i'm the only one you love, life could be a dream sweetheart. hello, hello, again, i'm hoping we meet again, sweetheart." and "in the heart of every girl, there's a home spun family dream" possibly the worse song (though perhaps truthful) on the soundtrack! SH BOOM SH BOOM LALALALALALALALALA SH BOOM SH BOOM LALALALALALALALALA SH BOOM (TIMPANI BANG)!!!!!!!! or MAYBE the horrid song is 'once i had a secret love', mandy moore serenading. 'and my secret love's no secret anymore'!!!!!!!!
ANYWAY, i KNEWWWWWW we could have studied. i mean, they. i realised that i couldn't do anything. we braided hairs, filmed videos, carol filmed esmonde with a towel wrapped around himself, desiree cooked great omelette with sausages and mushrooms and we all scrubbed pots and pans and mopped and esmonde looks like an angel when he sleeps. we watched rat race, moulin rouge and titanic, which i suddenly realised was a great movie and kate winslet was so beautiful in it. cooking became horrid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it meant gross unhealthy waxy maggi mee (dry at the last time, like vomit) and it meant more cleaning and scrubbing. the best part was that we lost track of time. we realised that we forgot to check the time for a few hours and we were not even conscious of it, just floating about in a orange-lit house for hours and hours. we'd wake up and have breakfast and suddenly it would be 2pm, we'd watch movies and hang around and chat and it would be 8pm, play monopoly obsessively (for FOUR HOURS we tried to win desiree whom i knew would win. esmonde and i merged to form BOP BOP-bridget jones bop bop-and tried to make shaun merge to call him strawberry sugar lumps but he wouldnt and desiree won by a landslide) and we'd prepare to sleep and no one would and we'd float in and out of stages of being able and unable to sleep, play the first disc of titanic and desiree and yuhui jumped for a few seconds and suddenly we all slept and woke up and it was noon. block catching is a mental manipulating game of heart attacks, which shaun gave me when he appeared just as i was about to squat and the worse thing was that i knew i would never outrun him!!!!!!! we baked too. esmonde did meringue, shaun did jelly and i did fudge brownies. odd though, no one else seemed to have an interest in baking. so, we shared the same toilets, slept together, cooked together, washed together, ate together, and basically LIVED together for 3 days. end of camp.
very sad news!!! every christmas my parents (who met in njc) go for their njc reunion (where many husbands and wives are, who met in njc too!) at this uncle boon how's house at pebble lane. and they always have so much fun chatting with each other (their bestest friends ever) and eating and just being there with possibly their favourite people in the world (kids and friends). and they talk about THE JOLLIES, a band a few of them, including my father, were once in. they chat with the young kids, the old kids, etc. i have gone every christmas. the sad news is that this year will be the last gathering at pebble lane!!!! because they sold the house, it will be at a condo next year. and they have been going there and also hanging out there, not just on christmas, ever since they were 17 years old, i reckon!
another piece of sad news: one of my moles is fading away. i type this so i will never forget that it existed.
i am gaining strange pleasure from talking about sad news.
shaun keeps asking us what is the last body part we will show our lovers. (though the answer is obvious. someone suggested something like behind ears, or between toes. how stupid)
HAHAAAHAHAHAA
'UMMMMMM....................'
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
marilyn monroe's 'happy birthday mister president' to jf kennedy IS seductive. no wonder he had an affair with her. her voice is so different. her version of santa baby was classic and amazing. smokey, classic, not too smokey voice. kylie minogue's is full of lovely squeals and shrieks everywhere, as if santa just smacked her butt. and macy gray's is sexual in an odd way.
SANTA BABY
JUST SLIP A SABLE UNDER THE TREE, FOR ME
BEEN AN AWFUL GOOD GIRL
SANTA BABY
HURRY DOWN THE CHIMNEY TONIGHT
Santa baby, a '54 convertible too, light blue
I’ll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I’ve missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you check off my Christmas list
Santa baby I want a yacht and really that's not, a lot
Been an angel all year
Santa baby, hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa honey, one little thing I really need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa baby, hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Sign your x on the line
Santa baby
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you, believe in me too
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing
A ring, I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby, hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Oh yeah, hurry down the chimney tonight
I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY PLANE RIDE, I HAVE SUCH A GOOD FEELING ABOUT IT. i split my pants today because i opened my legs too widely on the bus. it was minor but i think the english-speaking japanese woman opposite me noticed. i bought a YELLOW (submarine) BEATLES sergeant peppers bag today. it is perfect except that john lennon looks like a prawn in it.
rose (being 90 years old, recounting when jack drew her like one of the french women): it was the most erotic moment of my life.
on the second day of the camp when we awoke were the most amazing clouds.
that is a sign that we are meant to find true happiness living together hedonistically.
oh! i must learn italian before going! how do you even say hello in italian? i should just learn a funny phrase and keep using it, like 'chocolate is good', 'nice weather', 'i like sweets', 'santa loves me', or 'i hate christmas'. tee hee hee.
i just remembered that the sims existed.

Fans set up church of SpongeBob
US fans of the flamboyant cartoon character SpongeBob Squarepants have set up a church in his name.
More than 700 members of the Church of SpongeBob meet for services in New York, Texas and California.
The church's manifesto says it wants to push "simple things like having fun and using your imagination", and offers study courses on the cartoon.
A spokesman for Nickelodeon, which makes the cartoon, said: "SpongeBob's appeal is extraordinary."
Celebrity fans
The cartoon has become one of the most popular children's shows in the US, and has been sold around the world.
It features the enthusiastic but accident-prone sponge, permanently dressed in a boy scout's uniform, and his adventures in Bikini Bottom in the Pacific Ocean.
Its celebrity fans include Austin Powers actor Mike Myers, Oasis' Noel Gallagher and pop stars Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Kelly Osbourne.
Recently it was announced that Lost in Translation star Scarlett Johansson would be voicing a character in the forthcoming animated adventure The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
In the film, she will play a character named Mindy, daughter of King Neptune.
