my house is a circus. i think i'm better off studying in a movie theatre than in my house.
- mother somehow or other has taken a fancy to akon. that's okay. but it's when she fancies herself as akon then the problem starts. poor baby brother bears the brunt of her new fettish. she makes little glen sing the cute part of the mr lonely song while she, in a desperate attempt to emulate akon, drones on monotonously in the background. it sucks i tell you. and she does that to anyone who is unfotunate enough to go within a ten metre radius of her. damn commercials.
- disco night at my house. everynight is disco night. my brother will blast elvis presley and bon jovi songs and all the kids- big and small- will run into his room and start boogie-ing. worst part is, i find that i actually enjoy it. now that wouldn't be a problem save for the fact that i have an upcoming maths test and higher chinese Os to sit for. damn funky music.
- movie morning at my house. every morning is movie morning. i wake up to the same show every day. the patriot. just coz mel gibson (in the movie) has almost as many children as my parents do. so all the kids- big and small- will crowd round the tv and fight over who is who. why do i always end up the eldest girl? worst part is, i actually enjoy it. the fighting over who's who, the crying over heath ledger dying (coz we all imagine that it's our corcor). now that wouldn't be a problem save for the fact that i have an upcoming maths test and higher chinese Os to sit for. damn sentimental movies.
- soccer evenings at my house. rowdy boys (not all my brothers), dissing of players (more respect please!), dissing of me (so what if i think lampard is hot?), food thrown around (drinks included), mess-es made, dirty talk etc. gawd. and you'd think a girl could watch soccer in peace. damn non-girls.
- it's depressing.
my brother's off to ubin for obs. sec 3 one. i'm gonna miss him tons. he's the closest brother to me though we irritate the heck outta each other. i mean, he really does love me lah even if he shows it in the weirdest ways. and i love him too! though he younger than me he still takes care and watches out for me more than my second brother (j2 one, who thinks anything that isn't male is a waste of time and space). oh well. big brother went back to camp today too. we always miss him. next year second brother will be off too. and we'll miss him too. his dry wit and retardation and stuff. i think i'll miss my brothers more than my sister, if we ever have to part. i love them alot. each of them have got their quirky bits but they've got their loving bits too. but one by one they'll all be going. army, university, getting married. gawd i'm gonna miss them lots. i know bel was really sad when her brother went overseas to study. i have to lose 6 of them lorh!
i should spend saturday morning home more often. real fun. just like last last last saturday, yesterday i woke up to 6 non-familiar presences on my bed. all my sibs were in the room watching the patriot. again. and fighting over who's who. again. so i joined them. it's damn fun really. i always cry when heath ledger dies. it's even worse for me because we always imagine our corcor as him. so we're especially sad. my second bro thinks i'm cuckoo. he always wants to skip the church burning part because he thinks it's boring. i never let him skip it because i think it's heartwrenching. and i always cry at the part where the little girl finally speaks to her father...
melgibson and heathledger are off to war again after a week with the family.
melgibson: please susan, say something.
susan hides behind auntie as melgibson, heartbroken, trudges away sadly. gets on the horse and is riding away when susan suddenly starts crying and runs towards him...
susan: father! father please don't go! i'll say anything you want but please don't go!
father and daughter run towards each other and hug hug hug
heartwrenching indeed. too bad i don't get to be the little girl. my sister gets to be her. i'm jealous!
last last last saturday bros and i talked about growing up and stuff. heart to heart-ing with them is really fun. warm cuddly fuzzy fun. we don't do this very often you see. in amazing how much you can learn about someone if you really sit down and talk. so we were talking about wedding songs and stuff.
big brother (army one)- since he wasn't back from camp yet, we decided to play "all you need is love" from the love actually movie on his wedding day. we're gonna surprise him just like how the best friend surprised keira knightley in the movie. i think it's gonna be real cool. and we're gonna do the love love love part acapella!
second brother (j2 one)- surprisingly, this heartless freak chose "God only knows" by the beachboys, "i don't wanna miss a thing" by aerosmith, "i just called to say i love you" by stevie wonder, "glory of love" by chicago, "truly madly deeply" by savage garden, "the reason" by hoobastank and "the way you look tonight" by frank sinatra to name a few. wowee. and i thought that the only songs he knew were the christmas ones. but, not bad choices i say. a good mix of old and new. does anyone else second my slight suspicion that he might have a girlfriend? late night sms-es, a much nice-er and caring-er attitude, smile on his face whole day long, sentimental songs.... hmm. where's my girl-hating, sister-beating brother gone to man?!!!
me- got quite a few too. definitely "one boy one girl" by colin raye. can't believe i didn't know about this song. brother played it for me on media player and i fell in love with it immediately. "wu ding", which is a duet by jay chou and someone girl is also lovely. makes me cry. "love me" colin raye. but this one is more of... i want my boyfriend to sing it for me. so too "my kinda girl" by colin raye. and i want daddy to sing for me "butterfly kisses" by colin raye too. always makes me cry!!! if my daddy sings it for me at my wedding, my guests would need a life buoys. oh and have i mentioned that i won't mind "more than words", "story of love" and "queen of my heart" by westlife being played too? and "lean on me" by i dunno who! and "testify to love" by avalon! oh oh oh! "god must have spent a little more time on you" by nsync!!!! and my boyfriend may sing "this gift" by 98 degrees while proposing too. and definitely "the way you look tonight". my oh my, it's gonna be a loooong loooong wedding isn't it? oh wait! "I wanna grow old with you" by westlife too. and "god blessed the broken road" by rascal flatts!!!! i'll add on if i think of more =)
fourth brother (sec 3 one)- now this one's a mystery. seriously. he wants to play TATA YOUNG'S "i believe" at his wedding. goodness. well, he later admitted that he just wanted tata young, BUT STILL! and he wants "wild women" by god-knows-who!!!! this boy has got some serious issues man. where have i gone wrong as an elder sister?! oh. and the ultimate. "jump for my love" by girls aloud. and he wants his wife to sing him "pretty boy". brilliant chap, my brother.
youngest brother (baby one)- well, he wasn't really invited to our "big sibs chat" but since he wanted to give his two cents worth, why not. if ever you're unfortunate enough to be invited to baby bro's wedding, don't forget he wants "you ain't nothing but a hound dog" by elvis presley. after much persuasion on my part though, he agreed to put in "tong hua" by guang liang, "my love" by westlife and "shape of my heart" by bsb. i thought him to sing those you see =) and after more persuasion on bobo's (fourth bro) part, he decided to put in the "obladi song" by i-don't-even-wanna-know-who. it's this really weird song that my bros enjoy singing. it goes: "obladeeee, obladaaaaa, life goes ooooonnnnnn... BRA! lalalalalalala!". i can sing it for you one day if you want. bloody weirdos. love them.
so, you see, i learnt alot about my brothers in just one afternoon.

=) today i went to church late. again. and jeremy was back to his old 'obnoxious but better' self. hmmm i think that it's a good thing he broke up with j. my bro told me that j and her new boyfriend were making out in church! and during the carnival she was sitting on him and acting all intimate and stuff in front of the little kiddies! oh horrors! and her new bf is wayyyy uglier than jeremy. and he was practically at her beck and call... getting her food, feedingher etc. ewww. and have i mentioned that she has lip studs? GROSS. sandy joe and i couldn't take our eyes off her. she took it off and there were RED PATCHES on her lips. gross! can't believe she and jeremy spent the nights at camp together TOTALLY disregarding the facils. horrible. my bro and gabriel henson (stacey's bro) refused to work with her and she started crying. retarded. her mother came during the parents night at camp and she refused to come down to meet her mom, when the rest of us were busy hugging our parents. felt so sad for her mom and damn disgusted with her. so many more things to say about her but i shan't. hmph! will go blog on the church clique blog.
love you bel!!!!!
!deb.17-- yay.
