saturday
please note: i started this post on monday, aug 21- 10:51pm. i had no time to complete it, so i had to finish this another day.
hihos! im so happy, managed to convince my mum to let me blog. see what a sad life im livin? anyway, my tjc interview was like, EUW! i TOTALLY sucked at it. but, i will do this another day. i wanna talk about saturday's "Get Lost" Adventure Race now!
so, i woke up at around 7.30am to reach serangoon mrt at 8.30am. my dad sent rach & i to eunos mrt, where we met ben. after changing at city hall (red line), then dhoby ghaut (purple line) and talking rubbish for some time, we finally reached serangoon. oh, and big declaration:
I WAS EARLY!
cough, lol. i planned accurately. because, my ez-link card only had 4 bucks in it-was a bit risky for such a trip, so i needed to go to serangoon early to top up my card. after all, i didnt want to risk it in eunos. i mean, what if we ended up late? i didnt want to do that to ben & rachel-i'd feel too guilty. ANYWAY, BACK TO THE STORY. we reached there at around 8.20am (AS i had previously planned) and i topped up my card. billy joe was there early as well. and we waited 10 minutes with us talking rubbish and rachel singing the chorus of christina aguilera's "ain't no other man". repititively (whatever, i told you before my spelling's FREA-KAY). yeah, when 8.30 am + finally rolled around, i was bored and was ready to stone. anyway. most of the kpcians participating in the race were finally there. 'cept aaron & melvin. when pastor kuoyung called them, guess where they were. SEMBAWANG! apparently their smses were faulty and they were told to go to sembawang. sad huh? anyway, Pastor kuoyung briefed us and then we headed to bethel pres. (melvin & aaron were told how to get there & they got in around 9.40/50+ when we were finishing off worship)
ok, so when we reached there, there was this chinese-like structure to go through. i was like, "whoa, so cheeena" and continued staring at it like the world would never end. then, we miled around before signing in. had worship session where they sang both chinese & english songs. i didnt sing out loud for the chinese songs cos, as beiyi would know, my chinese-speaking skills are like, HORRID! but the tunes were nice. i sang inside cos i SERIOUSLY didnt want to embarrass myself.
i mean IMAGINE: desiree & rachel happily singing away, and then this odd sounding chinese voice starts singing along. rachel looks to her left, where the sound is coming from, desiree looks to the right where the sound is coming form & realise that ... IT IS ANGELINE SINGING IN CHINESE! then they pause to stare while i continue to sing away happily, oblivious, and their mouths drop open before they realise they are missing out on some good worship songs. and they continue singing, traumatised by angeline. WAHAHAHAA!
i couldnt do that to innocent citizens! to myself yes, but to others no. yeah, so after that, we were ushered out and the leaders (our leader was marianne hui) were given the neccessary instructions & our first clue, which was to find a special signature on the crumpled ball of paper. AND there were MANY which had NO signature on it. which was REEEAAAL HARD. we had to run in 1 at a time and take one paper each. ben, who didnt want to slow us down with his running, positioned himself at the door as our SCREAMER.
it's like, whenever someone in our group runs out empty-handed, he'd scream "GO!" make that SHRIEK. it was so high-pitched, i misheard it as some random screaming thing. oh, and everytime i ran out, i'd be laughing all the way back to the entrance cos of ben. it was UBER FUNNY. finally, melvin got the paper with a siggy on it. however, he had not made the clue paper obvious to ben & ben screamed "GO!" then, when melvin told ben he HAD the clue, ben was like, "DON'T GO!" i was still laughing-it was SOOOOO CRAZY!
the next thing to do was to wear our special "GET LOST" shirts. we were all grab-and-go! and guess which size i grabbed. the best size of all. no, not 36 (which would've fitted like a CHARM.) yes, SIZE FORTY-TWO. 42. si shi er. sorry, i dunno malay and indian. but, 42!! and guess what size aaron was wearing-38! O.M.G! and i was wearing the same size as ben. FREEAAAKKYYY. i looked way spaz. even jonathan yong was wearing 40. samuel too! why me? why of all sizes did i hafta grab 42? DUDE! yeah, i practically flopped in it. it was just INDESCRIBABLE. after they took a group photo of us, we headed off to bethany pres.
billy & i were the "topos". we had to help the group get around Singapore. i couldnt find a way to bethany other than walking so we followed billy. i mean, we coulda followed the other groups, but billy was insistant on taking mrt, so we followed him. then we were a bit lost & ended up going back to serangoon mrt. +) to which after that, we ran like crazy to go to bethany. we had to do a crossword puzzle of fruits and stuff. there was what, onach or something like that. some REAL SPAZ NAMES. the remaining letters was where we had to go next. which turned out to be "Andrew & Grace Home".
we took 76 to Parkway then transferred to 15. met serene on the 15 bus. then, i called my dad to ask him where the home was. we ran from the bus-stop to the home and we had to.... shoot basketball hoops. which i sucked at, so i couldnt help the group much. the boys shot the 3 hoops. a 2-pointer & two 3-pointers. in the rain. i mean, the sky was dark when we reach AG home, then while we trying our hardest, the rain came. bit by bit and then WHAM! the rain comes pouring down down down. we were all drenched. the bags that some members left on the floor were wet. and marianne was freaking out big time about her bag. ben (with his pink panther umbre) & i (with my pink umbre) sheltered the bags from the rain. i got wet doing that, cos i thought it was more important to keep the bags as dry as possible. i could dry out easily, but the bags took a longer time. but, they still got wet from the ground. anyway, ben & i tried our best already. :) after accomplishing the task, we met iris, who told us about what AG home were doing. we were all drenched & rushing to go off so we kinda didnt really listen to her. i felt so bad after that... anyway, next stop was KPC! home ground! *whooots!* KPC=King Philip's Court. [forgot to mention, it was a piratey theme. another day i'll put some piccys up. but most of 'em are on des's blog.]
we ran ALL the way from AG Home to KPC. with the slight drizzle. i was running with my umbre. was quite mad. oh & i heard some teams ACTUALLY went to paya lebar mrt to go to eunos, then take a bus to KPC. well, we had the advantage here, so it was GOOOD. this station, we were to find our clue, which was hidden in the multi-purpose hall downstairs. it was in a drawer, which is PURE EVIDENCE that one team found our clue and hid it. tsk. well, they only hafta answer to God for what they did. tsk. Pastor kuoyung made it easy for the teams to find the clues-there was no need of opening door/drawers etc. sighs.
by then, it was around 12.50pm/ 1pm+. so, our next station was Katong Laksa! we stopped there for lunch & we all had hokkien mee. 5 plates for all of us. rach & i shared a plate. and i ordered barley. mm-mm. some people went next door to 7-eleven to buy stuff. i couldnt be bothered.
so, at katong laksa we had to call eric & he told us that the next station was Presbyterian Synod House. which is the same as Presbyterian Church House. so misleading. *shakes head* anyway, we followed the prinsep people and became allies with 'em. :)) we took the 14 bus there. on the bus, complications followed. like for an example, samuel. he had to go to schoolin the morning, so he could only join as at around noon time. so, just as we were settling ourselves on the 14 bus to go to our next stop, desiree started fretting about "what to do about samuel?" so, after a good ole' discussion, we gave him the directions to follow (cos he was on the 14 bus behind us) us, and we ended up meeting him on the way to PSH. next problem was the fastest way to reach PSH. shaun first found a LOOONG route with lotsa running, but then, he found a shorter route. BUT, when we got there and started looking for EDINBOURGH (at least i think that's how it's spelt) ROAD, we couldnt find it. until... shaun found out that...
EDINBOURGH ROAD CUTS THROUGH THE ISTANA!
we were all, darn. so, we had to run the long way and ended up at PSH pretty late. oh, but we met samuel along the way whilst running like mad cows. oh, and some people dumped their bags on billy joe so he ended up runnign same spped as me (how embarrassing. im so slow) but at some point i pushed myself a bit more and overtook him. oh and to help him, i helped him carry his bread. which isnt much help, but at least he didnt have so much on his hands. X)
so, samuel got his shirt at PSH and it was size 40. which looked ok, on him. humph. i was wearing a sad size. anyway, at PSH, the traders traded resources witht the other groups & the billy the topo-spy traded passwords with other groups. as for the rest of us, we just chatted around while i mindlessly walked around and stoned! anyway, at this station, 2 members were to play this too-complicated-to-explain-on-an-already-too-long-post card game. des & marianne played it & WON! so we rushed off to our next church, which i think has the word "Life" in it's name.
we were given this "piece of map" that this allegedly blind (but heck, we all know he aint) person tore up at the station. to which desiree sarcatically exclained, "wah, you tear so straight (at least i think it was the word "straight") one." it was a perfect square piece of small paper which had a church logo on it. covenant church came up behind us and they immediately ran off. i really wondered why (this is why it sucks to sometimes be an airhead) cos the reason was that the church sign was COVENANT'S. how lamey-lamelame. how we realised? desiree had this cute little booklet of all the presbyterian churches in singapore. HOWEVER, covenant pres church was not found in the street directory. it was found next to foochow methodist church though, which was good that des, ben & aaron semi-remembered. (BTW-foochow could be found in the street directory)
so we ran like mad all the way there. we could've been faster if ben, jon & samuel had decided to run faster. the rest of us was ok speed. with rach and aaron in the lead. yeah, so when everyone FINALLY reached covenant, we had to rearrange this long passge that paul wrote in um, an er, epistle(sorry, spelling sucks)? yeah something like that. after one try, we got it correct. BUT, by that time, it was already 3.20+ and we HAD to reach glory pres (the final stop) at 1615 hours. so, after much deliberation, we deicided to skip jubilee (the next stop) and go straight to glory. which was in bukit timah (near clementi mrt station) & we were near the little india mrt station. AND the train took forever to come, so we ended up meeting prinsep again (cos they got slowed down at PSH, playing the card game), who we met on the way out of covenant. SEE HOW SLOW THE TRAIN IS? lol~
the train ride took forever as well, and in the end, we were still late. it was still crazy though. desiree took a bunch of pics of us in the train. and when i took pics with her, i looked retarded. as usual. i mean, what's new in the life of an UN-photogenic girl huh? there was, however, a mad rush to get out of the train, i mean, yeah, it's better to be late than later? LOL. :D we took some bus there & samuel & jonathan took a quick nap while aaron was yakking about making a girl cry. HURMPH. anyway, as we, hand-in-hand with the prinsep dudes, walked into glory pres, pastor kuoyung was snapping pictures of us. it was crazy, i probably looked lame-o, but who cares, we were all puffed out & tired. well, i was. plus i got a bit of a tan & my hair was pulled back into a tight bun for an easier time running. i mean, if i have my hair in my face, that wouldnt be good eh? or if i had a loose-ish ponytail, with my hair bumpin on me as i run isnt excatly the best thing to have either eh? so, OBVIOUSLY having my hair in a bun was the best option!
at glory they again sang english & chinese songs. but tiredness just washed over me & i couldnt stand to stand (even though this sentence sounds awkward, i think it sounds COOOOL-lol). and again, i didnt sing the chinese songs (i dont think i need to paste the italic passge above again huh?) after the worship session with a worship leader who was semi-lame, we had a speech by the PCS guy. rachel fell asleep and i wanted to. but my body REFUSED to let me. so, waaaa. and then, obviously, after the man [i think he's called Elder Lawrence or something like that. im not too sure] finished his thanking speech, he was presented with the cheque of ALL the money everyone collected together & 2 "GET LOST" shirts, to which we found out that PCS sponsored the shirts. and then, we clapped & melvin, aaron & (i think) samuel continued clapping. it was so mad. and somewhat embarrassing. we had a short break after that (to make the suspense kill us). there was cream puffs (absolutely lovely), chicken pies (ok), sandwiches (im not a big fan of em. especially the tuna ones.) & urm, more food. haha. forgot. then, we crowded around the wooden-looking plastic house that we have at our church as well & ate our food there. after ben & rach got in there wasnt any space left. Xd so blahblahblah, ate lotsa food (especially those wondeful creammyyy puffs), took lotsa pictures and finally, the verdict. which team was first? after a short speech by the synod youth pastor (i think), the awar ceremony started. and, covenant won! not us, i think we were second .... from the back! waha! but it was really, really fun. im glad i missed cross-country for this! lol. beiyi said it was boring, since nicole was also too sick to come!
anyway, after that, desiree, marianne, jonathan, samuel, billy joe, ben & some prinsep people went to the nearby bukit timah food centre (at least i think that's the name) for dinner. desiree didnt have anything except a drink. she's on a diet. yeah. anyway, i had chicken spag. quite nice, but oh, there was SO MUCH. i couldnt finish it. we talked a lot & ben almost caused me to choke on my spag and spit out my barley drink(i think i have a weakness for barley...). *shudders* oh, & i forgot to mention. NEVER EVER EAT IMPACT WHILE
A) LAUGHING OR
B) RUNNING.
let's just say it has disastorous effects that would cause you to choke on it. oh, the pain, THE PAIN! yeah, so rubbishy. oh & ben likes the song "Oh, when the Saints!" he kept singing & singing & singing it! TOTAL, UTTER, MADNESSSSS!
when we all finished our dinners (well, i TRIED TO), we went off. desiree went with this prinsep guy (i THINK he's called david) and ben, shaun & i took a cab to clementi. the cab fare was $6.50. the blasted peak period surchange thingy is just OH, SO ANNOYING. i mean 2 BUCKS. what can i buy with it? oh, just my school lunch. and oh, some neopets TCGs! dude. yeah, then i went home with ben, with uncle weiming dropping me off at the "end of the T". too lamed out to explain, but yeah.
right-o then. i've got lunch calling my name & this is my LONGEST POST EVER. WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! oh, and we have a new maid. i hope i can blog again this after noon after i've finished all my homework, like a good girl. *cough cough* yeaahh. toodleooooos~

hahas, went so high just now. accidentally bashed into beiyi. whoooops. but, was SOOOO funny. poor niks got her rejection email from tj. how sad. wonder if I'LL be rejected... after all, i'd BARELY finished the maths test. especially the crucial section which shows how much of a thinker you are. which i am not, cos im more a copy-and-paster. wahahahahas. but anyway, i had to sleep at 1.30am last night. cos of that stupid chinese project. but, i guess it paid off. we are one of the 3 groups chosen to represent our class in a cohort competition. all the videos competing for the top spot. wonder if there's a prize... but that's not the point. my role was the teacher and mother. both roles having the least number of lines. yeah AND i looked spastic in BOTH. as usual. cos im not photogenic. which sucks big time. oh, but the history project, i was Raffles with my british accent (to which when we re-filmed the second time around, somewhat disappeared) AND i looked even lamer, cos i had my hair tied back in a super nerd fashion and i was wearing a suit. my dad's jacket and shirt (which semi-fitted scaryingly) and my mum's old pants (which ALSO barely fitted scaryingly-if you know what my urm, yeah never mind) posted my first youtube video on urm, monday. yah. it's the tong hua one sung by cti (carpenter's tools international) i also tried sending the video to desiree, which took like, several million thousand centuries. but i got to have extra time on the com, which was WAYY good. i got to do all my neopets dailies, but i er, didnt blog cos i KNEW i would get chased off by my mum. AND i still havent finished re-doing the links.crap, the bell's rung. gotta go. more soooooon. lovees~

the update after a "holiday"
ok, so i promised to update this blog, and here i am. today was coooool. i shall blog about today first! so, i woke up at about 7.30ish to get ready for the tjc IP test. reached there at 8.44am, only to find nicole & beiyi NOT at the canteen. well, ok, FINE, there were on the steps and i had to scoot around here and there just to get to them. i'll tell you one thing, there were tons of guys there. man, i didnt know that there were so many guys born in 1992... tum dee dum. anyway, the tests here were harder than vj's. i doubt i'll get into the interviews... goodbye, IP~ yeah, the maths test was horrid. so little questions, but so much brain power required. i mean, HE-LLO? oh well. english test, we had to write two essays that were SUPPOSED to be less than 300 words, but i think i hit about 330+ each. whoops. anyway, the dude next to me wrote longer, so HAH. but, the hall was freezing. at least the school uniform kept me warm-ish, but good thing i brought my L-sized church camp jacket along. waha, to keep me nice and warm. i pity the guy next to me. i was moving around so much, i must've distrated him a lot. y'see, i CANT keep still. so, hahas. yeah, then, i went home and had macers for lunch. read weekend today, then went to sleep. ok, here's my uber weird dreeaaamm. so, there i am lying on the couch, watching my self as if another person. i get up and realise that i have to go somewhere. oh man, i'm late again AS USUAL. ugh. i rush to get ready and then suddenly, i'm at victoria theatre. oh no, it's the day of the clown musical performance. crap, how could i have forgotten. the theatre's packed and how can i slip in from the side. why arent i at the backstage entrance? i meet someone, & that person happens to be in the musical as well. we run up and down the stairs and somehow, that person has morphed into cheryl. we are having a mid-life crisis, what with all the stairs. i'm confused and scared. where do i go? the stairs lead up and down, a mass array of steps everywhere. (this is a normal occurence in my dreams. i keep dreaming about steps that lead up and down. interconnecting steps, mind you.) so, finally, we reach the end of the stpes, we take a left, and are back at where we started at. oh no! what do we do? amazingly, amanda is onstage performing some crazy thign with a blurred person. (oh er, i really couldnt see the person there) i hop onto the stage and try to disappear amongst the curtains. backstage, seated around a rectangular table are the kpc youth. desiree, samuel, edward and shu hui are those that i saw clearly. the rest were a mass of blurry people. but i knew that they were all the youths. i rush into a dressing room and suddenly im back in my house. the phone is ringing and i know my history teacher is on the other end of the line. i pick it up, but it wont stop. i press the buttons to try to make it stop. but IT KEEPS RINGING. im frustrated and i can somehow feel my history teacher's frustration. the ringing of the phone stops. my history teacher says,"FINALLY. when were you going to make that thing stop?" i apologise profusely and her next few words are drowned out by the phone's excessive ringing again. we are both pissed. again, in vain, i try to make the phone stop, but it wont. i try and try and suddenly... IM AWAKE. and i find myself in sweat. cold sweat, i presume. i mean, i freaked out so much in my dream. man, that was crazy. oh, and i forgot to mention. the phone was ringing. GAH! how lameee. i pick up the phone and it's my mum. and guess what? she tells me she's been ringing for ages. that new maid apparently hasnt been trained in PICKING UP THE DAMN PHONE. hurmph. yeah, the time then was like, 2:59pm. anyway, i forgot to mention that my mother brought my brother to some chinese sinseh in bedok or somethin'. cos he's got this never-healing leg. but it's his fault anyway, what with him FOREVER putting strain on it. TUMPH. but, yeah, i OBVIOUSLY rushed to get ready. after all, i was still in my school uniform. cough. yeah, yeah. let's NOT go there. anyway, i RAN all the way to church. see? the good thing about living near church huh? but, yeah, i got a tan. i forgot my umbrella, but anyway, i wouldnt have had arms to carry it. one hand was carrying my bag, trying its hardest not to strain itself so that i can put more effort in running and the other needs to swing around so that i can get momentum-LOL. just immagine me swinging the umbre around. i think i'd end up whacking myself. HARHARS. that's a funny thought. anyway, i reached there at around 3.10pm, late, like duh. by there, i mean, the clown musical high tea-cum-publiscing event thingy in katong pres, the church i go to. so yeah, i missed the showing of the video, but im told it'll be shown tomorrow. HOPEFULLY, i wont miss it again! yeah, but after the talk pastor kuo yung and the PCS guy gave about helping the PCS thing, i felt really inspired to do some NON-LIBRARY cip. like, help with the needy. i mean, it's like, they really need a lot of help and i wouldnt mind doin my part... also, i can get cip points if i help, but that's not the point. anyway, the tea reception was quite ok. had a tart (but took out the pineapple-like thing), a brownie (actually ate it with the nuts) and a chicken wing (yay! i managed to eat it with my fork / without the oily skin touching my fingers, but at some point, i gave up and used my tissue.) yeah, then i stayed around chatting with the youths. i've come to realise that jon ma is quite lame. and he was my group leader in the youth camp. maybe he had to act more serious then, but it just goes to show how close to the youth i am... it's like, there was this one point when suddenly, brian asked me what my name was. like, HAHA. i knew from the start of this year that he didnt know my name, but like, i ddint think he'd NOT know my name now, what with us being in the clown muscial project and all. but, yeah. he was like, "is your name angeline or angelina?" i just stared at him and jon ma & evan were like, looking at him. they started teasing him about my name. wahahaaaa. jon ma went all the way to "no lah, she's angelina jolie" and then pointed to a picture of angelina jolie that he keeps in his wallet. *shifty eyes* muahas. anyway, the whole point of asking me my name was so that he could ask me to ask rachel whether she could stay back tomorrow for youth worship practise. SO LAME. anyway, yeah. evan tried to get him to call rachel, but he was too lazy. hurmph. in the end, evan messaged her- she wasted an SMS on brian. TSK. lol.
after that, shaun, glenn, roy & brian left for parkway. desiree asked me whether i wanted to join her for dinner with cheryl. i said yes & my parents ALSO allowed me. but my mum was all, "now you two deserting us." as in my bro also went out for dinner with his friends. anyway, caught a life from my dad and he sent us to Parkway. we flopped around a lot, with desiree wanting to buy a new messenger bag and me, a red skirt for national day celebrations this week. looks like im gonna end up wearing the same skirt that i wore last year. ie-i did not find a red skirt. desiree also wanted a new swimsuit, but too bad they didnt have a nice deisgn. ooh, but the denim-like bottoms were on sale. $33.60-WITH 50% OFF. i MUST show my mother.At 6.22pm, i finally felt cheryl calling the phone (desiree's went dead, i forgot to bring mine) in isetan's kappa section. i ACTUALLY MISSED 5 CALLS. blur-block without sense of feeling. HURMPHHS. we met at the food court, by the "bak chor mee store"-hehes. Xd i ate ban mian, cheryl ate duck rice & desiree ate drank a bowl of free ban mian soup. and the bowl was so BIG. we were all laughing at the free-ness of the soup. and cheryl was accusing desiree of helping them make a profit by not making them waste the soup. HAHA! LAME! after that, we started walking around a lot. and cheryl went high. she was like doing all these random dance movements causing people to stare and apparently freaking them out. (as cheryl likes to think) yeah, then we went around parkway. at first cheryl wanted to buy another garlic bread, but she didnt want to, after realising how gross it looked. so dejected there, the last piece. o.O yeah, then we went to topshop. i continued my search for a red skirt, even though i had already gone there with des. i mean, i didnt do a thorough search the other time, cos it was mainly half-hearted. but the tank tops at topshop are SOOO cute. i MUST buy them. they;re only 16 bucks & when you buy two pieces, the'yre 20% off. so, fine, it's a "forever there" sale, but I'VE NEVER been into topshop. ok, so i have, but i havent actually pawed through topshop like i did today. i want the pink, white, bown and black tank top. they're PERFECT for layering! :)) in the end, i DID see a red skirt, but like, it was too short & i wasnt to keen on it. ooohoooh, but des & i found this ABSOLUTELY FABBY design of shorts. it was WAYY cooool. but, they only had sizes 8, 12 & 14. i'm 6 & des is 10. what a waste. des would have bought the shorts (as she was ALSO looking for a pair of shorts), if she hadnt blown $120+ on the westlife concert. but yeah, the 12 doesnt fit in the front, but it fits PERFECTLY in the back. same goes for me with the 8. then, we went to dorothy perkins. one statement: i've NEVER GONE PAST TOPSHOP, SO I NEVER DID KNOW THERE WAS A DOROTHY PERKINS, OR EVEN SHOPS after TOPSHOP. yeah, so they bought tanya & kimberly's birthday prezzies. and i also saw this ABSOLUTELY COOL top. it said "Royal Punk" and had this picture of the England flag with some abstract face on it. but it OOOZED coolness. and it only cost 20 plus. HOW ROCKIN IS THAT? desiree said that she can also imagine me in that, when i said that i could see myself in that top. my mother and i SERIOUSLY need to go shopping. my wardrobe NEEDS a fashion update. X) cheryl also bought this sequinned tank top and a white belt with the most unique buckle. the buckle was long, longer than your average buckle & looked so cool. but yeah, i already have 2 white belts, so i dont need a new one.after that, we went to mark's & spencer. i DIDNT know that there was another entrance to the shop. see how pathetic i am? i mean, i can go to parkway almost EVERYDAY, and i dont even KNOW such things. so sad. cheryl wanted to buy candies, but in the end, she didnt want to pay for the ginger bread men & preferred her parents buy it for her. SMART CHOICE, ill say. XP desiree saw this TUB of choccies, but they cost 16 bucks. UTTER MADNESS. then, cheryl saw this pure silk shawl. she commented on how she wished that she lived in the wintery countried, so that she could wear such things, then i said, "well, you CAN wear that, if you wear something sleeveless. like, you know in church, then the aunties wont complain." she was like, yeahh... nut then, we realised that it cost $49, and she was like, oh no way am, i gonna spend 49 bucks on that. but then, i guess it's pure silk, so THAT'S LIFE. after that, i continued my search for a red skirt again, going to ebase (cheryl's suggestion), but too bad they didnt have any. OP didnt have either, with the closet being PINK. yes, i LOVE pink, but not at this time. most shop sell pink skirts, but they HARDLY bank in on the red skirts. i mean, it IS the national day celebration now. hurmph. when we were finally done, we parted ways. cheryl took her direct bus home, & my dad send des to Paya Lebar MRT station, cos they were gonna eat there. so, i had to endure the sight of them eating, i mean, i had already had an ice-cream before cheryl came, then i PRACTICALLY finished my ban mian (which is something i never do) during dinner. anyway, i spent most of the time in popular, gazing at the books. and yes, sometimes arranging them, i am SUCH an OXY-MORONICE neat freak. if you see my desk at home, you'll know why i used the word oxy-moron. and i learnt that from dawn. so, when my parents were finally done, we looked at the small booth that was still open, cos most of the earrings there were $2. i got a pair of 3-dangly-star earrings, from small to big. it's real cute. yeah, then we went home and blahblahblah and now i am here blogging.HURRAH! another long post, i feel accomplished and happy. i gotta go sleep now. it's 1.30am & there's church tomorrow. toodley-doos~
