Finally, I have time to sleep.
Today's been.. hectic, to say the least.
I slept (relatively) early last night as I was really tired, but was so nervous about my exam that I was just tossing and turning all night.
And I meant to wake up at 5 to memorise my music stuff for the exam this morning, but I kept hitting snooze until finally I managed to make myself throw the covers off and wakeywakey at 615. And I practised, and showered, and memorised and stuff.
And then I couldn't get a cab out on the street for about 15 minutes, so we call a cab. And I get to my exam late. (For some reason the tense has changed, but let's just stick with present tense now.) The whole way, I'm trying to mug more for the exam.
And then the examiners aren't in the room, and I wander around trying to find them, and then I just go and sit in my teacher's room and try to stare at my books trying to get more stuff in at the last minute, and then they come in and my teacher looks mildly irritated when I try to explain that I was late.
And the exam begins. And it's a nightmare from the start, to about 3/4 way through. I was so fucking underprepared that I was absolutely mindnumbingly nervous, something I've never been before. And at one point when the examiner asked me to sing something, my mind just went blank and I kept singing the wrong thing. And I'm pretty sure that I made mistakes in everything except the last few songs, and thankfully the theory bit was fine.
But still, royal fuck-up. I doubt I can maintain my straight-A record. Damnit.
Oh and the most annoying thing? My mother, instead of going somewhere else, was standing outside the exam room the whole time as if I was some little kid who couldn't be left alone. And the door has this glass panel in it and every few minutes my mother would look in and make a weird expression like she was trying to ask me something. And it was so DAMN distracting. Because it was right during my blanking out thing that I realised that she was outside, and I was all shitshitshit I hope she isn't hearing the silence and all this shit because I'd rather not be tortured further about my lack of preparedness by her.
Anyway, the exam got over and I heaved a humongous sigh of relief, and then i'm walking out and i realise that my phone's missing, so it's back to the dreaded room to see if it's there, and the result is negative. so my mom calls the taxi company, and bless the soul who made the traffic bad in the morning and thereby made us have to call a cab, because it made it all the easier to find the cab in which my phone thankfully still was.
and then the cabbie had to go drop off my phone at some centre, and i had to go pick it up there. and i had time to kill, so i decided to follow my mom to orchard where she had some errands to run, and she took so damn long looking into all the gucci aigner prada burberry in paragon. but i did manage to pick up an sq inflight movie brochure at the pps office, and i get to watch 21 grams and peter pan and 50 first dates! yay! and i saw a really nice deep blue suede burberry bag which as kaimin says, is only about 900 bucks above my budget. it was real nice. and they had gorgeous coats which, after sale, are about 2000 bucks above my budget. i tried to get my mom to buy one so that later on i could steal it from her, but they only had size 6 which is probably about 3 sizes too small for her.
so.. point is, i hung around far too long with my mom, expecting to get free lunch and a ride back to school if i was with her. but i ended up abandoning her, getting a muffin for my hungry tummy and cabbing to school cos it was so damn late.
and school was another fiasco which needs no elaboration right now.

(OH MY GOD THERE'S A LIZARD IN MY ROOM. I JUST SAW IT ON MY DESK, AND STARTED SCREAMING AND WOKE MY MAID UP BECASUE I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING WITH A LIZARD ON MY DESK, AND SHE CAME WITH A BROOM, AND MADE THE FUCKING LIZARD JUMP ON MY BED. AND I RAN OUT SCREAMING AND FOR SOME REASON I STARTED CRYING BECAUSE IT'S BEEN SUCH A LONG FRUSTRATING DAY AND THIS IS THE LAST THING I NEED. I THINK THE LIZARD'S GONE NOW, BUT I STILL CAN'T POSSIBLE SLEEP FOR THE FEAR. THE POWERS THAT BE SHOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER MAKING LIZARDS ILLEGAL. THEY'RE A BANE TO SOCIETY, ALTHOUGH JIREH'S TRYING TO TELL ME THAT LIZARDS ARE GOOD BECAUSE THEY EAT INSECTS AND SPIDERS, BUT THAT MEANS THAT MY ROOM HAS SPIDERS AND INSECTS. MY MOM WOULD AGREE - SHE SAYS THAT IF MY ROOM WEREN'T A COMPLETE STY, THERE WOULD BE NO LIZARDS. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT LIZARDS EVOLVE FROM RUBBISH. BUT WHATEVER. ok enough already with the caps. my mother says that i might wake up with lizard in my mouth, and my brother said that the lizards are waiting for my hand in marriage, and chit says to watch out for anything wriggly in my bed. the world enjoys torturing me.)

and talking about pigsty room, this morning i noticed that my room was an absolute mess, and i had this instinct that my mom would probably try and clear it up herself or get my maid to, and either way in my mind it would only be messier because they wouldn't organise it properly at all. so i told my mom not to mess with my room; that i would clear up when i came home.
and when i did come home, it was only briefly to change, because i was going back out. and anyway claud and sophie came with, and i just had time to grab some late lunch and change and stuff, and to wait for sophie to finish using my computer.
met vivien and choon at cine, where i resisted the temptation to spend 7 bucks on a plate of creamy pasta. instead, we bought ice-cream. vivien or choon or someone came up with the brilliant idea of getting a double scoop per pair and then seperating it for each of us, which would cost each of us much less. so choon stole two cops, and then we bought two double scoop cups. quite an ingenious idea. i'm always doing these fantastic things when with vivien - the troy movie guide, the match support card (sh! maybe i shouldn't say this in such a public place.) and now the ice-cream.
confessions was.. entertaining but quite annoying, because it was trying to be inspirational and stuff, but it was really just rather frivolous and pretty typical. it ended at 645, and i waited for shirin for a bit before just going into the theatre for the harry potter premiere

(REMOVED)

harry potter was quite incomplete but it was good.
and then i walked with shirin to the mrt, and i took a bus from there. got home at almost 11, thankfully there was still some dinner for me. and then i came to the computer, and it's almost midnight now because i got rudely interrupted in the middle of this entry by the goddamn lizard. once again, i say, lizards ought to be outlawed.

ah yes.
jireh wants to enter the hwa chong litwing performance poetry thing. arts faccers please, and he'd like gay boys to read some gay poem he's done or something like that. let me/jireh know if you're interested. ít's on the 21st of august though, only a week after lysistrata so just a little bit of a tight squeeze. but perhaps we can just let jireh direct this and go out with a bang, eh?

eugene - i think the flight timing is really nice. early flights are the only thing that make early waking exciting. like once i had a fever and i was still happy about waking up at 5 to go to new york. the stewardesses on that flight were real nice - supposedly unusual for united airlines - cos of my fever and i guess because i was flying business class. and ask bernie about his prezzie. i'm too embarrassed to tell you =P
kitson - jack the ripper died many years ago. hopefully. and you're planning to LIVE near london. although who would to rape/kill you, i can't think. actually the kill part i can understand. and you'd be easy prey.

alright i'm just babbling rubbish.. i shall go to bed now. hopefully without any lizards. no wrigglies, pleasepleaseplease god.
