lysis party today.

and crescent arts awareness day cum open house.

and french prelim orals.

so today was a wake up at 7am day, run to bishan for french exam..

which sucked by the way.

i totally screwed up my presentation.. and the examiner kept giving me the i-have-no-idea-what-you're-saying look.
and then there was the conversation. where he asked me what singapore's signature dessert was.

i said kaya.

and then he expected me to elaborate on it, cause he being a nice blur african expat had no idea what kaya was.

marvellous.

all i could come up with was that it was green.. or yellowish green.. and that it was made up of egg yolks..

and i obviously didn't know the word for yolk in french. so i just it said in english.

and then i said that sugar was added. and that we spread it on toast.

[for which i said spread and toast in english.. and sweet instead of sugar]

and then he decided to ask me to compare the lifestyles of signaporean and french youth.

and i made up some crap about singaporean kids being more stressed. and i wanted to say that the french might focus more on character development.. and it came out as the french place less, if not, no importance on education.

and then he asked what made singaporean kids stressed.

and i said the only word that i knew in french.

ccas.

and i said that we should just scrap it. actually, i was trying to say that we should scrap the point system. but guess i wasn't able to.

and then he asked if i was the minister of education, what would i change.
and i happily said that i would advocate ccas as they promote character development.

wonderful.

the only thing i could come up with for the whether girls should go to ns question was that it would make defence more "loud".

i meant to say strong. but i got latin and french mixed up.

this is what happens when piano and french coincide.

oh well. stupid quenot put my name as the first in the list and he made me come EARLY in the morning, cause he emialed me saying tha i had to be the first in the list.

and guess what. i was the last.

waited for the first shift to end, and was wondering why he didn't call me.

turns out i was made the last of the second batch.

i bet you he did it purposely just to piss me off.

like yesterday's lesson when he kept picking on me for talking. like 3 times.

i mean, honestly.. i can't talk to *myself* right? so why does he only call my name when he hears noise.

the third time he did that i screamed back.

and i was like "what the heck?! you're always picking on me.."

and what did he say?

"bien sur."

which means "of course."

how irritating.
then he came over to my table to confiscate a book that was lying on my table.

and i screamed again about him being biased. i was screaming to yv, but purposely made it loud enough for him to hear it.

and he said that i wasn't doing my work.

and i screamed back that the book he happily confiscated was the dictionary. and that he never gives me a chance.

and so he gave me back my dictionary.

stupid dick.

oh well. that was french orals.

stupid abs happily overslept again, so i went shopping for a while until she finally got changed.

got a nice notebook. and prevented myself from splurging on bodyshop's body glitter powder.
it was only $12.90..

argh.

but i resisted.

haha.

got a nice thick notebook instead for $3.60 with a boring empty cover. but i guess that's good since i'd probably get to do whatever i want with it.

and then i pulled myself away from shopping cause i didn't want to be late to meet abs.

who was still at home eating breakfast when i reached crescent.

hmph.

crescent was cool though.

getting better every year.

this time we had a dj competition.
never knew our juniors could dj.
the scratching was quite amateur..

but then again, who am i to talk?

the girl who picked up a guitar upside down and started strumming with her left hand.

and there was a dance marathon. stupid abs didnt want to join it with me.. haha. but i guess i wouldnt really be a good dancer anyway. and the fact that i was wearing the rj uniform didn't help much either.

and then there was the black box. where the juniors sabotaged me and abs to act in this impromptu game.

where we had to play lesbians.

how apt.

anyway, this time i had to play the mentally retarded boyfriend.

and at times we would pick up these lines from a box and read it out.

me: *picks up paper* fragile - please handle with care...
abs: *looks up lovingly* my name.. is anjali..
me: oh.. *looks away* that's a lovely name!
abs: *picks up paper* i love caffeine.
me: my name is caffeine!
abs: wow.. would you like to go for some caffeine?
me: *picks up paper* like a cow eats hay!
abs: alright let's go.. *picks up paper* jack and jill rolled down the hill..
me: *grabs abs' arm and skips off and bangs into a chair and tries to "roll down a hill"*

useless. haha.

but am really impressed with the new batch of lders.

very very impressed.

and really enjoyed the black box.

and ranon messaged me out of the blue demanding that i should join him at orchard cause he said he saw a shirt and was embarassed to buy it without a girl or something.

couldn't hear him properly over the dance music.

oh well.

mucked about crescent for a while.
got seng abs' keychain.

then had to rush off for french after that. but not before running into and out of the shower. and grabbing the nearest clothes to wear.

had french and then went for the lysis party straight after that at pine grove.

sophie brought vodka.

so yay. we had booze.

made a promise to myself that i wouldn't drink again.
especially after what happened.

so refused all forms of alcohol. even the wimpy bacardi with mountain spring water.

didn't even want one cup, mainly because if i agreed, i didn't trust myself to stop. and would end up cursing and climbing around the playground and trying to kill myself like zhong.

haha but it was amusing though.

haha. he's interesting when he's drunk.

weeg was a little drunk too.
mark and time turned super red. and started flailing their arms in the air.
but then again, half the time, we weren't sure whether they were drunk or just acting.

until they turned super red.

the boys were disgusting. they'd come up erally close and talk, and their breath just stank of alcohol and beer.

eurgh.

was trying to feed weeg a piece of my brownie when he was lying down on the slide..until he started laughing, and then all the *fumes* came out of his mouth and totally stank up my brownie.

so i just gave my piece to him.

suprisingly, the girls could hold their drinks well.

but bernice and smriti got a little tipsy.

stupid boys were fine in the beginning. until the started drinking and then got drunk.

hmph. oh well. it was fun.

but every time someone offered me a drink i had to refuse.

didn't want it to happen again.

and besides, i'm not one who holds her drinks well either.

didn't want to have someone having to take care of me 24/7 like how ranon had to babysit zhong.

haha. but zhong is hilarious when he's drunk.

to ranon: "why are you following me? there's only space for one person in the cubicle.."

and when i asked him whether he could spell his name backwards.. he spelt gniz nat.

and his name is not zing tan.

but the poor thing's going to wake up with a dead head tomorrow.

oh well.

went home with weeg, who was pretty sober.

haha. he's the most popular husband in shoot shag marry.

and i'm the choice for a lesbian one night stand.

how honourable.
