dearest princess qiu: here's to your sparkly sixteenth. <3 Hello. RJ+ Serene+ Yan+ I deserve Grammies. And Emmies and Oscars and Golden Globes-- cuz we pulled off Qiu's speshul birthday surprise awesomely and she didn't even suspect a thing to begin with. ...Qiu, darling. Would I really ask you to walk to the Botanics with me (and then THROUGH it)...all for a slice of apple crumble? Do I even eat apple crumble? (Hint: No, and no.)
Anyways. ...we walked a very oblivious, eggstremely unsuspecting Qiu into the Botanics-- and then RJ and Serene were already waiting at our picnic spot with big smiles yelling "SURPRISE AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" and then I turned to Qiu and grinned real big and echoed that too and grabbed her hand to run her to her special surprise picnic spot-- and I swear she was moving like a zombie. Too surprised, hmm, sweet? Don't lie I saw how shiny your eyes were awwww we love you too.
PLUS we ttly got the UK Musical Interlude Orchestra to play for you. See how much we care?
Emcee: (in heavy Brit accent) Good evening. We hail from the UK, and today we're going to bring you a selection of songs from musicals and Disney movies. Cara: (turns to Qiu) Translation: Hello, we were sponsored by Cara Serene and RJ, and today we come together to commemorate QL's 16th birthday. Qiu: .... :D :D
I LOVED TODAY. They kickstarted everything with an awesome rendition of Star Wars-- during which RJ and I jumped up and starting doing our rad clonetrooper impersonations. Miss Saigon and Pirates of the Carribean and Bohemian Rhapsody and Lion Kingggg. <3>
And then during intermission the UK orchestra wandered over to our piknik area looking all curious and I was like, "hey we've got chocolate cereal- you want in?" and they were all like "OMGZ CHOCOLATE CEREAL?!" and then zwwoommm descended the flock of hungry brit teenagers.
We became honorary Rotary Club members. Hello like how cool please. Moral of the story: Belgian chocolate cereal brings people together.
Today we had an intuhresting discussion about Disney Princesses-- AND we played the Disney Princess M.A.S.H game with my princess poker cards. Serene's destined to marry the Beast. :/ Sorry luv. It's in the cards. ...Aladdin and Eric = the Disneyfied epitome of ACS-ness.
...See? I rest my case.
RJ says Eric's the shortest of all the Disney Princes. Apparently he stands at a towering 1.69m which is, like. :/ ...I decline to comment. But then again it's still taller than me; so I'm not one to talk. (it doesn't take a lot to be taller than me.) The rest insist John Smith looks (and I quote) "...so SJI" but personally I always thought he was kinda ACfied.
We all have, though, unanimously agreed that Snow White's prince (...the guy doesn't even have a name; go figure) probably hailed from Hwa Chong. We don't know why. It's just something in his face.
gawsh weird conversations much. imagine what it must've sounded like to passersby: "OMG Aladdin was from ACS. No yeah I'm pretty sure." "...John Smith was NOT from AC! He was from SJI just look at that face."
...We also talked about which disney princesses we relate to and all that. Y'know how every little girl wants to be a princess? ... Apparently that still holds true for sixteen year olds, too. Or- at least- very speshul sixteen year olds. Pretty much everyone has decided on their princesses already. Serene -> Megara RJ -> Mulan Yan -> Snow White Qiu -> Ariel Kat -> Aurora ...but as for me-- I'm still looking for my spinning arrow.
I've been trying to tally the votes. Qiu says I'm like Cinderella-- which is a first. I've never been called Cinderella before! When I demanded why, she gave me a puhretty abstract answer which actually made some sense. I don't think I'm all that much like Cindie, though-- I've never been one for the whole let-the-little-birdies-fold-your-bedsheets thing. RJ said I was like Mushu BUT WE ALL KNOW that RJ always talks junk anyway. (: Kat's always said I was like Pocahontas. Yan thinks I'm Jasmine-Pocahontas-Belle. The juniors think I'm Pocahontas-Esmerelda. My mum said I'm Jasmine. (yes I asked.) E once said I was a Jasmine-Ariel-Pocahontas-Belle combi. ...and I say I'm confused.
I used to adore the Little Mermaid-- I went through a longlived Ariel phase a few years back. Little Mermaid jewellery, music boxes, vanity sets, costumes, plush toys, singalongs...you name it, I had it. I miss my Disney Girl books. <3> Then I grew up(?) and became more Pocahontas-ish and Jasmine-ish, or so people say; and I'll admit I do feel like them at times but I suppose you can't fully stereotype someone based on which princess they resemble the most. still, I have a penchant for things of the sort-- and if you have a suggestion, leave it in ye royale tagboarde. We'd be happy to hear from you.
Today was so awesome swaying and singing We Are The Champions, all out of key and being the Penguins of the Carribean when the orchestra started playing The Black Pearl chasing each other and getting all breathless and flushed and weak with laughter slowdancing to Can You Feel The Love Tonight clapping at the end of the concert and screaming "LONG LIVE DISNEY! YEAAAAAHHH!" and irish jigging! taking the long route home and singing "this is our generation and we are doomed but we are beautiful" songs like Innocent and Rooftops and Here's To The Night.
oh and me being stupid. I swear it's almost become ingrained now. I blame my friends.
RJ: There was a girl named Cara Neo and Bimbo was her name, oh! B-I-M-B-O! B-I-M-B-O! B-I-M-B-O! And Bimbo was her name, oh! Cara: NO I'm not a bimbo. I'm P-R-T-T-Y! P-R-T-T-Y! P! R! T! T...(realization dawns)... :/ oh.
so yeah. today was beautiful wonderful absolutely amazing jumping up and down screaming hallelujah we are! alive!
kaylie kawaii--- here's to a magical year ahead. you know I love you and yes we'll always be princesses.
