I spent the day trudging around rj, then walking to jelita, then going to hwa chong and trudging around some more. And what has it left me with? One bottle of newater, another left behind at Pizza Hut, a headache, sore neck, huge blister on foot, extreme exhaustion, and worst of all, the biggest dilemma of my life.

Hwa Chong or RJ? I thought I had it all figured out. I was gonna go RJ. But now chit is completely swayed to go to HC, and Dawn's going. And to me it IS very attractive. Argh. Later I will make a long pro/con list ala Rory. Now I just wanna sleep.

Unfortunately the parents are having some stupid fancy diwali party and every few minutes I am called out to either say hello to so-and-so, or help the waiter to find something, or help the maid with something she doesn't know how to do and that my mother's too busy/harried to help her with. And of course, entertain the kiddies. Until a few minutes ago an 11 year old girl was stuck in my room, and the two of us stared at each other for a while before I handed her a book and basically told her to Read. And there is some other girl in secondary one somewhere, whom my mother always tells me to talk to, but who never talks to me despite my one attempt to make conversation a year ago at the same function held by my parents. She's a fuckin snob, just hangs around attached at the hip to her mother (i just saw them sharing the same plate), and while her mother talks to the other people, she just smiles sweetly at them. I've honestly never seen her without her mother at any function. So I no longer attempt politeness. Just walk away when mutti tells me, "Gwen's here! Go talk to her."

Twenty minutes later: Mom made me go out and smile at people. Gwen smiled back at me. Yay. Some kid my brother's age, who learns carnatic music, was made to sing a few minutes ago. I pity him, and I ran away because I also learn carnatic music. Also, spoke to Shirin on the phone, and let her make the decision for me, stupid as it may sound. I'm going to RJ. I weighed the pros and cons of the two schools sort of in my head already, and I still couldn't decide, so I let her tell me that RJ was better.

Other details: my dal is brown and my rice is multicoloured and my cauliflower is yellow. Aloo gobi. Haha. And most of it is untouched because I have no appetite/too tired to eat. Supposed to go for other party at Minty's house next. That should be more interesting, but wondering if for once in my life I should listen to my head and just GO TO BED.

What a fucking boring, whiny post. And I had promised myself that my blog would never be a recount of my day. This post is worse, it's like a minute-by-minute (almost) recap of my life.

MUST CALL CHIT TO REMIND HER TO TAPE 24.
