i think my mom's right. i should've cut my hair earlier. i have a huge tendency to procrastinate and therefore now its a crazy rush (okay, i'm not rushing yet but i will be soon) to get everything done.. anyway the slanted fringe thing didn't turn out too well cos i only decided on a slanted fringe after she trimmed it straight so its kind of short. oh wells. and the red does tend to look quite bright in some sorts of lights. but it's still fun to have different coloured hair haha.
oh dear. i think i shouldn't have read selene's blog. or maybe i'm just blaming that cos its convenient. but anyway i suddenly feel rather melancholic! cos there're 3 days left. or less, actually. more like 2.. at least i did most of the things on my to-do list today.. alright i really should go and pack. more like, -start- packing. :|
at least we have the house to ourselves until after i leave. heh. ms jap girl is now at my uncle's house. but then my parents got into an argument (actually i guess it isn't all that rare) so they aren't speaking at the moment. so silly. i'm sure they'll be fine soon, but still.
actually i think i'll be fine once i'm back in school. it's just the thinking about the in-between that isn't very fun. blah alright time to go do something productive (like eat durians, :D)
heh been so busy. kind of. so let's see.. tuesday was meeting up with so3c girls.. and we met jm and amanda by chance! so funny.. so sarah sj chelsea (whom i haven't seen since results, i'm sure) fiona n candice n me had lunch at nana thai at far east.. pretty good price - student discounts! and then fried mars bars.. i tell u candice is hooked on that..
so since i promised rachel i'd visit learning lab i decided to get a lift from candice back to united square.. first time being chauffeured by candice!! haha. she has a cool style of driving man.. and a nice new car. heh. i told her she needed a convertible to complete her image:)
silly rachel didn't realize it was me.. thought i was a student [grr]. oh i saw chernise at the ben & jerry's downstairs but she was quite busy so didn't stay for long. so after entertaining rachel for a bit while she was doing her paris duty [which consists of sitting on a stool outside this sliding door place to ensure that students don't get hurt by the sliding door which is so cleverly concealed u don't realize it's a door until it opens and then if you're playing around there's a possibility of your hand getting chopped off] i went in to look for christine.. who as usual shrieked when she saw me and went on and on about how i'm still so small and cute. apparently i [surprise surprise] look even younger! she claims its the fringe and the mid-length hair.
then i met ms jap girl (her name is yumiko). i think her eyes might possibly be bigger than mine. or maybe its cos of the eyeliner/mascara. anyway her english isn't fantastic.. i'm not even sure how much of wat i'm saying she understands. oh well. we had dinner with my aunt and uncle and cousin.. lots and lots of food. actually since she came i've been eating a LOT. augh.
it's funny how when guests come, life becomes so much better. so since she's here, we get to use the car (instead of my bro) and get good food all the time, basically. i guess it sort of makes sense, yet it's ironic at the same time. i just had durians (the best, according to my dad, who doesn't want to admit how much he paid for them cos i think my mom'll scold him for spending so much. haha).
anyway. wed.. city tour and then ended up at chinatown. in which it started raining! so i was sloshing around in wet slippers.. reminded me of bangkok as i was telling jh.. and then i ended up buying this bamboo poster thingy. i was rather amused, she's the tourist supposed to be the one buying things and i'm the one who ends up spending $. but in the end she got something too. bargaining there was ridiculously easy, i was surprised.
shopping at marina square after that - i decided it was silly to try and walk around outside in the rain.. i saw this $10 dress, quite crazy. but then i also don't think i have anything to wear it to.. oh well. wish there was more occasion to wear my sec 4 prom gown, i really like it:) although i wonder if i can still fit into it -frowns-
today was sentosa.. was quite a bad day actually, kept raining and raining. my mom says i'll be expert at sliding when i'm done with this pair of slippers.. i think i'm quite pro already haha. but we got to see dolphins! although the las vegas show was better i think. or maybe i'm biased:p oh well.
and the musical fountain! it looked quite promising but turned out to be half good half bad. they had this ridiculously silly-looking emcee who was really quite a clown.. the only impressive thing was his cartwheel-plus-somersaults at the end of the show.. other impressive things include how he managed ot make a fool of himself. okay i'm really critical.. oh well. but his presence really detracted from the enjoyment of the performance, as did the presence of kiki the retarded giggling green monkey and his fantastic fish friends which were fantastic in their ugliness than anything else.
but i have to say the techniques of the laser show were pretty cool.. the 3d creatures looked very real. quite amazing. unfortunately.. there's the lack of style. i think they were trying to cater for kids.. thus the advent of kiki and his silly friends. bellagio fountains! ahh i wanna go to vegas. so it reminded me of wenzheng's flying to vegas (and grand canyon too i think?) maybe i should go get myself a pilot's license too! lala.
today's been such a long day. i don't know why i'm still at the comp.. trying to figure out if i should buy birkenstocks. haha. sigh. anyway, it was good meeting everyone.. haven't seen some people in such a long time! i doubt if i've seen lou since sec 4 man.. haha. maybe from time to time but still.
so ms jap girl is coming tmr.. i better clean up my room somemore. i think it's gonna be a pretty mad rush. it's so funny, she wants to go spa! and i haven't even been to one.. luckily lyd gave me some recommendations heh:)
i am so full. watching kahli and shan cook was quite interesting.. makes me wish i could too. but it does really take quite a lot of time i think. and yingling's so funny! heh. sometimes i really forget that she n kahli n i used to be in the same class/pri sch. seems like sec 3-4 was most memorable.
darryl never fails to amuse me.. maybe cos i have it permanently stuck in my head that he's silly.. so he'll always be silly to me whether he's grown up or not:p but again like i was saying, friends are to [in yf's words, sort of] talk nonsense to.
come to think of it daryl also never fails to amuse me. also another silly one. and both of them are so involved in church stuff. interesting.
i finally have my land before time dvd:) and it came with stickers!! haha. i think i'll bring it back to stanford to watch. hm. and that silly buddy! too lazy to write me a letter to go with it. grumbles. oh well.
aiyah i think i need to sleep. wonder how i'm gonna pack and all.. i think it's just easier not to think about things sometimes. cos the more you think about it the worse it gets.. taking things as they come and appreciating/revelling in wat u have at the moment is so much less painful. cos if i keep thinking about how i'll miss being home i'll just be miserable. whereas if i'm just happy while i'm home then i'm happy and that's good. and then when i go back to school i'll be happy at school (hopefully) and there you are.
so random, mrs kwan called me up while i was in the bus on the way to orchard (to meet wangning and his roommates and cs for dinner) to ask for chim's email to ask about emilyn. it was nice talking to her though half the conversation revolved around how US-spore communications work (skype and handphones and wat not). i think the tchers are kinda worried about us. wonder if they feel responsible since they taught us (and we're geps, so much $ spent on us and everything). i'm sure they really care about us, relationships built and all, but still wondering if a sort of duty sense comes into play.
oh and i saw jacelyn tay at kino after dinner. again very random cos i was trying to find some book and waiting at the information counter and this female was in front of me (all i could see was a curtain of hair) and i idly glanced down at the form she was filling up - i was wondering if that was a form to help the pple find the book or something but i guess it was probably an order form or something? and i saw "jacelyn tay" in caps and was wondering if that was really her or someone else with the same name. but yeah it was her.
