big update.

today..
nothing much. finally get a day to slack since the holidays started. only problem is that i have my sats on saturday. which i haven't even touched.

well apart from that time in delifrance when i was with ranon.. but that didn't really count since i only did 2 mcq questions. and i got both wrong.

sats on saturday. help.

anyway, yesterday was spent at the temple.
yes, the temple.
dad donated this huge amount to the temple building fund, so they're throwing this big festival on his behalf. and i guess i had to go as well.

somehow, it's only now that i realise how weird the world is.

the ceremony starts at 7am.. and it ends around 1..
and they make you wear this ring thing made out of palm leaves or something throughout the course of it.
and i was happily blending in with the crowd behind, slacking in one corner.. then this person starts talking to me.. and then shrieks when he sees my ring and screams, "you're dr kuperan's DAUGHTER! why are you slacking here?!"

hmph.

and all the old aunties were smiling at me.

oh well.

woke up at 5.45am on tuesday morning to rush to changi airport to send off the jap kids.
at 5.56am, i turned off the alarm and sat up in bed.. after 5 huors of sleep.. thinking to myself: why am i doing this?

anyway, dragged my ass into the train.. felt suprisingly calm.. must be the early morning breeze. and just when i thought that i could watch the scenery and the sunrise from the train, we disappear underground. so i make do with my reflection. but even *i* can get sick of my reflection after a while. so i resorted to just staring at the other commuters.. realised that in the whole cabin that i was in, all the guys ere sitting down, and all the women were standing up. [and they wonder why singaporean men are said to be the least desirable?]

especially the nsmen.. you'd think they would learn something from all their training..

and when i finally get to see the world again after emerging from the dark tunnel.. the sun has risen, and everything's bright again. passed by kembangan, and i realised how long yus has to travel to school every day.

finally reached changi. one whole hour later, and hugged everyone goodbye.
zheng kept pushing me away from soh ee.

useless guy. he gets to have her for the next two weeks.. and he won't even let me talk to her for 5 minutes.

and then we started taking photos with everyone.. and zheng wanted to show off his acsi jacket, so we took this photo of us side by side.. and soh ee commented that we looked really photogenic as a couple.

haha. 2nd time.

and mel came in just in time.. just before they went past the departure gate. and then it was one big hugging ceremony again before they left.

i'm going to miss them.

after that mel and i just slacked around starbucks and bk.
i took my shoes off and was happily lying down on the couch.

no one chased me off.

then we stayed there till noon.. then went to citylink to try on clothes.

mel manages to look like a million bucks with everything she wears.
man, i'm jealous.

i just manage looking like elton john gone wrong.

haha.

saw this really nice bright red halter at espirit.
which was super ex.
and this black top. which was $33.
but i already have a million black tops..

returned empty handed.

went home around 5.. ran into the shower.. ran out and left for the vjc ics night.

qing met me there. man. she looks hot now. all lean and tanned.
people really change when they go to jc.
but inside, she's still the same poubelle.

me: *whines*eh.. someone told me that i walk like a gangster..
her: *matter of factly* yeah. you do, what.
me: what?!
her: you walk around.. with that "you wanna fight" kind of face.. and when you walk slowly.. you kind of swagger..
me: i DO NOT swagger.
her: haha. you do.

anyway, the audience that night was disgustingly rowdy.
i'm sure it's all right to cheer for everyone and everything..
but it's just plain rude to diss someone so loudly and repeatedly during the performance..

ah well. the mics weren't working properly either. so didn't get much from the play.

at least i got qing to pay 1/6 of the price of my ticket.

got past nearing midnight.
slept through the whole bus ride home.
luckily shan was there to wake me up at the bustop.
and save me incase i just collapse and fall asleep on the pavement.

i guess it's the collateral effects of having 5 hour sleep days.

left the hose at 5.45am.
get home past midnight.
that's quite bad.
for my internal body clock, at least.

and on monday, went to the doctor's to check out my ankle.
i've laernt how biased people can be.. get treated like a normal person and get ignored when i'm alone..
and when my dad decides to follow me in for the 2nd time, i have doctors waiting for me, instead of me waiting for them.

some trainee told me that my doctor's the only coloured person to hold a head position.
i didn't really think much about it.. i mean, if you're good you should get wht you deserve.. with no influence from your skin colour..

that's what meritocracy is all about isn't it?

anyway, kept getting smses from random people.. most of them coming from shaf and ranon complaining how boring rp was.

finally left to meet them in school.
a lot of people were asking how my ankle was.
suprising how fast news spreads.
told them that it was all alright.

at least i hope it is.

doc makes it sound really complicated with the osteochondritis thing.
and pretty much banned me from running for the rest of my life..

he thinks it's serious. or at least wants me to take it seriously.

it's amazing how one split second could cause an accident leaving you in a wheelchair for 6 months, and unable to revert to your normal ways for the rest of your life.

you normal people have no idea how lucky you are.

but hey, i'm not going to get down because of it.
i'm not going to think about it.

anyway, went for lunch at bk with shaf and ranon.
and shaf made me a friendship rock.

she wrote my name first, then she asked whether i wanted ranon's name to be on the other half..
i told her to put shaf.

haha.

and then later when we went out, we went two separate ways.. then ranon was walking behind, and he didn't know who to follow.
told him to follow shaf.
i'm probably the only girlfriend who tells her boyfriend to follow other girls.

speaking about that, mel and i have come to a conclusion that i am hormone-less.
according to her, i was right next to zheng's "hot bod" in the pool and i was the only person who didn't notice his great abs.

and later when we went out, i didn't even notice any of the hot guys.
which makes me hormone-less.

i'm totally not attracted to anyone on the street. guy or girl.
that's bad.

i'm not even gay.
