Legend has it that Alexander the Great always slept with two objects under his pillow: a dagger, and a copy of The Iliad. According to him, these two objects not only possessed practical usefulness (protection from enemies and a means to pass the time), but also defined his personality (both a soldier and a scholar).
Along these same lines, what two objects would legend record you as having under your pillow? Which two items best represent who you are and what is important to you?

omg, i, like, totally have underwear under my pillow. you know, when you like, sleep naked? people totally can catch you unaware. and like, you soooo don't want them to see your tushie. so like, yeah, i totally keep my underwear under my pillow.

AHAHAHAH. i'm kidding, relax. you can continue eating lunch. i don't sleep naked... yeah.

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

i had a great weekend. let's start with saturday with ym cousins. i've never had so much fun with them since ten years ago when we found a ikea trolley behind my grandma's house and played car-car with it.
(basically you push each other around in the trolley and make sound effects like vroom vroom. yes, i'm easily amused.)

yeah, brendan, brian, mark, kyle, jie and i walked to clementi central. WOOHOOO, great place righttttt. so we went to snookerium or something, and jie and i watched the guys play games. then jie told me something.. slightly gross but still made me kind of jealous.

you know ryan star? from rockstar supernova? yeah, he came to singapore for don't know what reason, then my sister's friend went to interview him for urbanwire. so...so... after the interview, they had to take a pic together. he... stood behind her, wrapped his arms around her such that his hands were like, all over her boobs, and then he actually whispered into her ear, 'i'm so turned on right now.'

OMG. ryan star?!?! i THOUGHT he was decent. but but, why am i slightly jealous. oh well. snap out of it, charmaine.

ok, back to my cousins. we went to macs later, and SOMEHOW, like ALWAYS, my sis and i ended up paying for most of the food. aha. i don't mind anyway, i bought mark and kyle ice creams before that. they were.. suspicious of my generosity.. why! i'm a nice cousin! it comes naturally..

then we walked back to my grandma's house. and and, we had a race! bren started piggybacking mark (which i find weird, cos amrk's taller. u 14 yr old, 5 11" freak, mark.) then i asked brian for one too, and then we ran and caught up with the other two. i think we won. we deserve to, my chest hurt.

it was sooo fun, i haven't been piggybacked since primary school. my mum would wake me up in the mornings, then piggy back me to the bathroom to wash up. i can hear the 'awwww's from you guys now.

later we named each others babies. i named bren's daughter apple mok ping guo, his son banana mok xiang jiao. brian's one is going to be named mcnugget mok jia shu tiao. and my daughter's going to be feng huang and my son huo long. wooohoooo, lian beng names.

oh yeah, brian was poking his toes into kyle's side. he said very comfy, like, his fats was covering his toes, very nice to dig around in. sick.

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

sunday. oh gosh. sunday. my mum... signed my sis and i up for this kanebo miss glamour contest shit. GOSH. she wants to kill us both. basically you pay $80, get your face and hair done, get a few pics to take home, then get to buy $65 worth of kanebo products.

jie and i were both dreading it. dreading it so much. for good reason. ok, the make up was.. alright. blue eyeshadow... but you can't really see it in the pic. the HAIR. GOSH.

ok, the guy, didn't speak to me at all, didn't ask me what i wanted. he started like.. doing the top of my hair in like.. cornrows or something, i looked like an alien. and THEN, he started twirling the hair at the bottom into small bunches. the looked like DREADLOCKS. i realised then that he wanted to make me look black. cornrows and dreadlocks.....

he then got his friend to help him. and they were speaking in chinese, but YES i understood. he basically said he was sick of doing the usual styles, so he was trying something NEW. then he told the girl, can take bigger bunches, cos alot of ppl, they need a break.

after i realised they were going to do my WHOLE head in dreadlocks, i told them to stop. so the guy.. sulked a bit.. and then he pinned up the dreadlocks to the side. and sprayed GLITTER on my hair.

so i looked like a overdressed lian going to perform at some getai. goshhh. the poses they asked us to do wasn't any better. 1980s cheena poster girl style. gosh. i wanted to cry with shame. you know, the put your hands on one shoulder and act demure kind...

so, you guys are NEVER going to see the picture. i can show you my sister's though.

after that was over i went straight to the toilet to get everything out.

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

i was on the bus to school and i fell asleep. the guy next to me was wearing this nice soft jacket, and it was so warm and cosy.... i think i accidently rubbed against his arm alot while i was sleeping. i don't feel embarrassed, it felt soooo nice. haha, gosh what's wrong with me.
