every girl wants her fairytale.


be it rapunzel's or aniston's.


after being called "a good first wife" and then voted the most likely to marry rich and young.


and the most likely to be a tai tai at the first class party at jo's house.


and then the one most likely to bully her husband at the next..


of course there's still the title of ms charisma 2003.


but in comparison with all the rest..oh well.


i've got the attention span of a chimp.
maybe a whole personality switch would help me out


went to bed last night at 3am. after messaging pea that we'll probably have to go out later or at least do something less strenuous at the gym. then i messaged shan. to wake me up if she doesn't see me at the pool at 7.


pea replied at 4am.


saying that she wanted to sleep in, it being sunday and all.


still had to wake up in 3 hours to go swimming with shan anyway.


not too bad, since you don't really need to be fully awake to swim. and the icy early morning water keeps you up.


and i finally did one breadth in one breath. twice.


used to do that all the time as a kid, but somehow after the accident and all, haven't been going swimming and all. and kind of lost the whole deep breath thing.


i'm rambling. oh well, you're the one who's reading.


anyway, swimming today. and i was staring at the way the light bounced off the mosaic tiles on the pool floor, and i was so mesmerized by it i forgot to go up to breathe.

not very smart. especially when you suddenly realize that you no longer have any air.

decided to do lots of breadths instead of lengths, cause there's less work you do with the gliding and all.

but then these awful kids came in and started splashing around.

hmph. the reason people come out swimming at 7am in the morning is because we want the peace and quiet of early morning, and don't need the shouts of useless girls splashing about.


swam up to shan and complained. she laughed. she has a point that i was probably like that as a kid..
but still.. i don't want to be around noisy kids anymore.


maybe it's the whole selfish thing about how i can make as much noise as i want. but i don't want to listen to yours.


got out of the pool later. then dance. but i was too lazy to go, so i was persuading shan to go tomorrow instead. and besides, i didn't know what time pea would be showing up..


went to clementi with mom to get groceries and toothpaste and stuff for the week. and got myself a nice pair of white marie claires. well, my mom got it for me. same deal.


and went home, had lunch, watched a knight's tale on axn and messaged pea again.


she finally messaged back. at 6.30pm. after just waking up.


12 hours after i did.


haha.


quite amusing actually. anyway, i didn't really feel like going out anyway. so i just wasted time at home watching useless shows like singapore shakes and style star.


where jennifer aniston was the main feature, and that made me super jealous about how she had brad pitt.


ra article is way overdue. hongyan's going to kill me soon.


went shopping with mel on friday.


i know it's fake and materialistic trying on all the expensive clothes and then looking at a thinner version of myself in the mirror..


but man, it feels so good.


and only mel and i can walk into a changing room with 34295y252 hangers and clothes.. and wear track pants and do pushups right in the corridor of the fitting room to see if the tracks are comfortable enough..


and then there was the whole bra debate.
*my blog, my bloggage. you don't have to read this if you don't want to*


mel: you should wear a push up bra.
me: why? aren't they like pushed up enough already?
mel: but they make your torso look longer..
me: really??


i've realized that lots of girls in the class are cs.
but it hardly matters to me since all i wear are sports bras. and strappy ones with those kind of shirts.


but i like hanging out with mel. we do weird things. like hunt for obscure places like the aroma beauty parlour at 164a serangoon road to get our eyebrows done.


supposed to get the hair done at kimage, but they're totally booked. maybe i shall drag pea along tomorrow.


well it's today now.
