StillMorphing, IntoWhat, IHaveNoIdea.

Tuesday, November 22, 2005

Had a superb day out with darling hippo. It was essentially a simple yet extremely interesting lunch at a not very well located mac. Then it was kay-ing and more kay-ing. Perfect. Unfortunately, I was literally coerced by that girl to go for the auditions. Imagine crooning English love tunes before a panel of judges. The thought is enough to scare the wits out of me.

Dehydration, coupled with the latent fear (weird phrasing), I was practically running a fever then. Oh yes, for your information, THAT audition was in a pub somewhere near town, which made me feel worse. Because I can easily, pop out, and just hail a cab to go for my shopping spree. Fortunately that girl spared me from all the agony, after much pleading of course. But anyways, Great comments from the peeps over there! This hippo does have a future in the music industry. C=

What a darling. Accompanied me to shop around taka. The stuff that I've cleared from my list, is below. Of course, not forgetting that these are the things that I bought that caused me to get an earful from mummy.

-My long-awaited ProjectBloodBros Sling Bag (Got the black one)
-Panasonic Ionity Hair Straightener
-Maybelline Eye Liner
-Maybelline Lip Liner
-Very hearty meal at Central

Anyway, Elmo's cute! Shall update the photos sometime later.

Random stuff to say:
Got my driving application done on Friday. My hair is done too! Pretty satisfied with it, although alittle shocked initially. Eileen and Glenda were really sweet people. Popped by to check out my hairdo. And I only realised that Glenda's a GREAT shopper. Never judge a book by it's cover. Hopefully I won't scare the wits out of my civics tutor with my hair colour. Got a top and bottom from M&S. A top to go for dinner and dance, and a Purple skirt. Pretty.

Friday was pretty hectic. Headed down to cine to meet the Bobos after the hairdo. Took some pictures on my digital cam, which I will never know how to upload onto my computer. Well, without the wire, I can't upload it anyway. Actually Xmas lightings this year ain't that fantastic. So glad that I didn't make a special trip down to catch them. Caught "Just Like Heaven". Gosh, Sweet little nice show. Though the ending was a little "extra", in that sense. 3.5 out of 5 M&Ms i'm giving. And it was a long long bitching session @ CCE till like 3+am after visiting some juniors playing pool over at cine.

Saturday was mass shopping at IKEA for my room revamping. Spent a sinful $848. But my parents were pretty happy, because I got everything from IKEA and saw no need to head to Park Mall for even more sinful spending.

Chilled out at home today. Ran a total of 6km over these two days. Amazed by my speed and motivation, which makes my ponder where it came from. Maybe it came from the Strawberry Romanov and Garlic Prawn Aglio Olio on Friday night.

That's all for now. I better hit the covers soon. It's sending papa to the doc, interview, Kbox, Exorcism of Emily Rose, Hai Die Music, The Arc and Dinner with Hippo. How are we supposed to do all these in a DAY? hmm. Well, enough for now. I feel so blessed. C=

THIS is what I call LIBERATED.

5th December 2005.

9pm.

Metamorphosis @ Cocco Latte.

Presale Tix - $14

Door Tix - $16

Finally ended my A levels. That is it, crystalisation of all the knowledge i've gained over the two years here. Expected myself to be extremely jubilant after exams, but suddenly, i found myself lost in transition. I just cannot get over the fact that weeks ago, I was struggling to cope with studying, and in a few weeks time, I will be teaching people who dread studying. The cycle goes, but the transition sucks.

Dad has decided to buy me something from the wishlist - the cheapest item, i.e $19? So i've decided to drop that item. So i've decided to revise the list, and find more veblen goods. Not a single inferior good. That's for wanting to buy me the cheapest item. But seriously, these are what I'm planning to buy with my pay packets.

- LV wallet

- Tiffany & Co. 1837 bangle

- Clinique Goodie Bag

- Missy B clutch bag

- Swatch skin watch

~~- My never-within-reach Franck Muller watch. So why list?~~

- Tang & Co. Pumps

- ProjectShopBloodBros sling bag

Notice a GREAT cut in the number of items? Because the LV wallet is enough to kill. And I guess I really have to save for that one. Plus the reason why I need to open the personal account, I really have to reduce my expenditure. Coupled with the increase in the cost of my BUS and TRAIN trips, I think dad has to drive me to school more often than not. Well Ahmad, do your job well.

Stuff to do tomorrow:

- Register for relief teaching

- Register for driving

- Dye/highlight hair

- Stock up my wadrobe

- Night out with the Bobos

Saturday:

- Dental

- Ikea

Lilac should be the colour of my room.

It's a brand new day tomorrow.

The start of my eight months break.

Saw this entertainment news regarding vivian xu and some actor, acting in a drama serial "Don't Love Me". Pretty nice story line, but goes along the lines of a idol mellow drama. It's about this girl who can only survive for another 100 days, and poof, she dies.

Disregarding the not very logical plot, I just began to ponder how I should spend my last 100 days if that should come, with a notice, of course. Somehow, I have an idea of how to spend it with my family, buds, and a Mini Schnauzer to accompany me through my last 100 days. Then suddenly he came into mind. Okie, so what? I suppose even by then, I probably have no idea of what to do or say. Maybe, I rather leave without letting him know.

Perhaps, he might not even know that I no longer exist.

Well, the reality of life.

My beloved laptop has apparently put up this facade for me, because my entry, about three days ago didn't seem to get through. So people might just think that - This girl must be mugging her guts out. But guess what was I doing? Stoning infront of the telly from god-knows-what-time. Rather, I should say that I've been stoning before the telly before Channel U airs the national anthem for the opening of a brand new day, (if you do not know, it airs everyday at 3pm. Well at least for weekdays that is) till it closes for the day (which varies from day to day, but essentially round about 2-3am). Then I will start watching unknown programmes at unearthly hours on channel 8. Some Taiwanese/China/Unknown drama serial. Then hit the covers at about 4-5am? Of course, it cannot be denied that some studying is done sometime between the intervals of each programme and the advertisements.

I can't exactly recall what I blogged days ago, but vaguely remembering that that post was triggered by a close friend's blog entry. Apparently, at a tender age of 12, my primary school class was already divided into 3 camps. 2 from EM1 and 1 from EM2 (realising the fact that only HALF A CLASS was EM1.) Then 2 camps were essentially made up of either English speaking and Chinese speaking. It came about due to the two super powers of my class (2 best friends) became enemies. So all of us went under different spheres of influence, and I of course, being unable to differentiate between lao zi and lao fu zi can't possibly be in the Chinese speaking arena. Yes, apparently most of the EM2 people were ostracised, which till today, I have no idea why. But somehow, I still manage to keep in contact with these true people from EM2. In fact, it was the EM1 people who not only stop contacting each other, but also to realise that almost everyone was backstabbed before.

Well, who said that kids are innocent and naive?
