gah. i just went back to friendster after ages and ages and it still annoys me. daph wrote me a very adorable testimonial, and then i accepted it and now it says there's no testimonial. and risse added me as a friend and i confirmed it, but it still says that she's trying to add me even though i've already added her. and my testimonial's lost! which is majorly majorly annoying.

today's been.. boring. history was interesting, though. saying stupid things to kwok, and pinkie swearing with him to never be a delinquent again. pinkie swear? i don't think that's the right expression, but i can't think of one that sounds correct. kelly says her sister calls it a promise with your little finger. chit says to google it.. like hooked pinky or something. but both of us simultaneously realised that that sounds rather pornographic. ok google approves of "pinkie swear", "pinky swear" and "pinky promise" and i didn't search for hooked pinky because that's definitely not the phrase i'm looking for. and i'm still looking, because pinky promise and pinky swear sound wrong to me still. and my instincts are usually correct. damn i hate when this happens.

watched bowling for columbine. it's powerful and disturbing and i have a renewed hatred for the american culture. it's.. hypocritical, the whole american dream and american fantasy. it's just a screwed up place, and i'd never want to raise my kids there. which is why i've decided that i might go there for university or whatever, but once i'm done, i'm scooting off somewhere else. there are more interesting places in the world, and there's satellite television. i realised that singapore's actually been good for me. i'm glad to have grown up here, for all its shortcomings. it's a happy feeling, knowing that the likelihood of dying in school is very very low. i almost started crying when they started interviewing the girls who were at columbine, and then the dad at the anti-nra rally saying that there was something fundamentally wrong when a kid could just pick up a gun and shoot it into a child's face as he did to the guy's son.

ok it's been half an hour since i typed all of the above, have been on the phone since then and no longer feel like blogging so i shall end this abruptly here.
