Hello Dear,

Sophie: Textinggggg youuuuuu from my new phoneeeeee
Mom: Ya ya
On Monday (after exams ended-woohoo) I bought:
$39.90! $_$
and,
$0 (haha because of my plan and whatever)
Yah I know, retarded advertorial-cute-face up there. Brrrr.
Anyway finished reading The Lost Symbol on Wednesday, was slightly disappointed.
The themes just seemed a bit too repetitive- I mean it's always the same idea of some lunatic suddenly pursing a long-lost treasure guarded by a powerful elite group, and to do so he manipulates some high-ranking members of this group and Robert Langdon gets involved somehow. At least there was no customary romance, although there is a female main character as usual.
I thought it was a bit draggy as well cause I skimmed a lot of parts. And it was set in Washington D.C. so I dunno, that seemed too Nicolas-Cage-in-National-Treasure to me.
But overall, it's Dan Brown so it's still worth reading...
Zouk last night (yah on a Thursday) for an event at Velvet:
Last night was ???+zzz+!!!+)))): so = L4D2
Yawn the new L4D2 is a lot harder than its predecessor! We kept dying when we first tried playing it. We made it all the way last night only cause we played *cough*easy, and Sarah left all of us to die (not that Jeannie wasn't dead ALREADY hahahahaha) by saving herself.
My Blackberry took 3+ days for the Blackberry Service to get activated >:(
But so after L4D2 I was busy accomplishing technological feats of my generation- i.e. downloading Facebook & configuring nonsense, without ever reading the manual.
This is prevalent in all humans (except maybe Unnamed Friend #1 who spent 5 minutes pressing the cd Eject button on her Mac thinking it would activate the wireless) below 25 years of age and in Developed Countries. Natural selection! I mean, that's probably why your parents take half a year to learn how to use the Internet and you took only 5 minutes.
Bye. Not in the mood for anything.

Sometimes I wonder whether we have any right to worry about things like boyfriends, clothes, curfews, boredom.. etc (btw I know of some girls who actually cry because they want a Chanel so badly), when there are girls out there thinking about the father who raped them, the old man they have to marry, the child they have to raise alone, the money they have to make for their family, the hunger and pain they feel, the body they have to sell the survive... The list goes on and on.It's easy to know about things like that. It's not that hard to recognise that you have everything, but hardest of all to tell yourself that maybe, you should give up some of what you have so that they can have a little bit more.
At moments like these you hate yourself for being so selfish, because deep down you KNOW you could do something if you wanted to. If you cared enough, you would go out of your way to help where you can. The horrible part is realising that maybe, you just don't care enough to give up what you have. And that's the fact you try to hide from yourself.
You convince yourself that there are people richer than you, more able than you, more wasteful than you, and all round more guilty than you. You tell yourself that if you let go of all that, you'd fall behind, because you're currently the only one letting go. So you close the window, flip the channel, turn a page; and convince yourself life is just unfair that way. And it is, because you were born lucky.

Hello. My Geography notes are right below my nose (I can see them out of the corner/bottom/whatever of my eye) but I decided instead that it would be more imperative to create a Twitter account for myself. I don't even intend to Twitter yet/at all (if I get a Blackberry), but I don't want to end up with twitter/sophie_gal_90 or something equally disgusting. But I guess there aren't that many Sophie Willocqs, or they think they are above Twitter (is my life really that interesting anyway?). Look! A confirmation email from Twitter!
I will be eating prata in 10 minutes because I'm cool like that. (Prata House is da new hangoutz yo). Sometimes there are a lot more personal/bitchy/bitter things I'd like to post but with close to a 1000 people reading my blog daily... it gets difficult. However, writing aforementioned thingamajigs in my private diary tends to lose its appeal when you're the only one reading it. I know. Life is hard that way. Aww.
P.S. I always wonder who all the people reading my blog are. Where do you guys come from anyway? I mean I never knew, till one day I put up a statcounter thingy and BAM it said 600 views and I was like o.O waazut? Then it just kept climbing; guess most people had nothing to do after A-Levels either.
But it's just like how I'm one of the 20/30/40k people reading Xiaxue's blog and refreshing Facebook to see if there are new status updates (sad but true)... Life's always more interesting like that...

So true. I don't know about velcro shoes, but Velcro Sandals are the Most Repulsive Shoes ever (Crocs are fighting very hard for this position though). There should be a law stating Crocs & Velcro Sandals are limited to kids 5 years old and below, and possibly everyone over 60.
That aside, New Moon was only slightly less stupid than the first Twilight movie; and that's because they haven't managed to come up with a line lousier than "You're my personal brand of heroin" from the first film.
4 papers down, 1 more to go (Monday- Geography).
Nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing.

Sophie: "I electrocuted my ass the other day. I sat on the Mac charger and suddenly felt a jolt cause it was connected to the socket which was switched on."Rebecca: "Eh look at the guinea pig! So cute!"
Erika&Sophie: "It's a rabbit."
Rebecca: "Oh. Gotcha!"
Nice try.
Seriously Kristen Stewart?! That is a horrible dress (who wants to see your panties anyway- at least not like that), and what's up with the black hair? Robert Pattinson looks terrible too. Ewww.
Hahaha

Birthday partaaaayyy for Augustus Set (a.k.a Gus) yesterday. Hadn't seen most of them from SAJC for ages!
Pakata, Chloe, Golden Boot x2 (Kuoloon), Jeannie.
Hehezxz you can't really see but I'm wearing 2 butterfly rings on my left hand cause I thought it would be funny.
Yijie, Jeannie and I.
Darrell, Chloe, Shaun & Samuel (polar bear!).
Gus trying to shush everyone so that he could give his retarded birthday speech haha.
Lamp as a "microphone".
Gus: "Hi guys I know it's been a while since we all got together so thanks everyone for coming. When I'm high I slang, so sorry for that. Anyway all I want is that everyone has fun tonight and it'll be a happy birthday."
Awwww. But he really did slang haha. Sounded just like when he first came from US.
Impending cake smash looming from the left...
?!
Haha omg...
Went down to Zouk after for Benny Benassi. By the way, saw way too many Benny Benassi related jokes on Facebook prior to that- "gonna get some SATISFACTION tonight!" etc etc.
For those who don't know, Benny Benassi has a very popular song titled Satisfaction.
Anyway Zouk was insanely crowded cause yeah, it was Benny Benassi playing at Zouk side. Trying to walk in: "Think we can get through?" "No". Went to Phuture instead.
Soooo rowdy.
(My camera seriously takes better shots than Jeannie's although hers is a newer Sony Cybershot).
Before going into Phuture:
Err Jesse took his shirt off halfway and then put it back on the wrong way.
After Phuture:
Boys so unglam when they drink! "Hi we wanna hang with you all cause you're the sober bunch. Exclusive circle here." Managed to snag a cab ride to Zouk with the sober ones haha. The falling-all-over ones stumbled there later.
Philosophy exam before that (yes on a Saturday morning) was... hard to say. By the way it consisted of 2hours for 20 MCQs, and ALevel exams are usually 1hour for 40 MCQ.
That's cause for the Philosophy questions you're like...
"Err.. I think it's erm.. C. But E sounds a lot like C. And so does B too! Omg what do the answers mean? What do the questions even mean?!"
Examples of answers:
A) Is necessary and sufficient for being a just man
B) Is necessary but not sufficient for being a just man
C) Is sufficient but not necessary for being a just man
D) Is neither necessary nor sufficient for being a just man
E) Both A and D
A) does not rule out the possibility of unjust factions. But it should.
B) does not rule out the possibility of just factions. But it should.
C) rules out the possibility of unjust factions. But it shouldn't.
D) rules out the possibility of just factions. But it shouldn't.
E) Both A and B.
Anyway for Philosophy most of the time it's not that you can't do a question. It's more than you can do it, but it turns out you're wrong anyway. Hohoho.
Genese & Society exam tomorrow!

Hi has everyone heard of Hotel 626? It's like this creepy online game where you navigate through a haunted hotel! There are different stages and some are really cool, like having to "sing" to a ghost girl and if you don't do it right she sits up suddenly and snarls at you.
Not for the faint-hearted (not mentioning names).
The whole thing is by Doritos or something (I see no link between horror and potato chips either but whatever). Anyway, the main point of all this is that now there's Asylum626!
Hotel corridor in the first part of Hotel626. Got bored to continue cause I've done the stages a few times before.
Asylum626:
Basically in Asylum626 you kind of watch a short horror show from the viewpoint of the victim.. Too bad there's no games/stages involved, just a short clip that's pretty creepy.
By the way you can let the website have access to your webcam & microphone etc, it's okay.
P.S. You can only access the website from 6pm to 6am, but if you're really impatient (and chicken), you can just change your computer's clock.
P.P.S. This is not an advertorial or anything. I'm in school studying and I'm bored.

Loves cucumber sushi (wtf?), Ketchup and McDonalds. Plays Sims3, Neopets and nothing remotely musical. Has a hamster.
