shit my common tests are SO screwed. today's been a completely wasted day, my god. actually it was really fun so it's not actually a waste, but academically, definitely wasted i'd say. went to crystal jade at about 2 to meet bernasty and yumun, and oohed and aahed and reminisced over the photos for a while, and then nasty and i set off to get dessert, at coffee bean!!! got my gorgeous doublechocolatechip muffin which i missed so much cos freaking england has no coffee bean! just an empire of starbucks. (ohh that's a con on the pro-con list for england vs US university education). and got the chocolate iceblend which i also can't resist, and then i couldn't finish it cos it was too damn sweet. and this is me who dumps four packets of sugar in my tea. incidentally, on the way to coffee bean we got sidetracked at armani exchange which was having a sale, but the problem with sales in places like armani exchange is that the prices are too high to begin with so even when they're having a sale, i would need my mommy to feel in a generous mood or else everything is unaffordable. and after coffee bean which was bloody noisy, we set off to kino. however, of course it being takashimaya and me being the shopaholic that i am, we got sidetracked again. i was staring at the beautiful shoes in URS, and then we got accosted by some women with a weird accent that she explained was because she was from singapore but has lived in the US for a long time. it just sounded filipino to me. so she gave us some pamphlet about weight loss, and qualified that both of us looked like our weight was fine, but that we should let our friends know if they have weight problems. i later abandoned the pamphlet on a rack at zara, how appropriate (yeah that does mean that i also spent some time in zara). finally reached kino, got trapped among the books (ie in the books) and were looking at some book about how who you love can be influenced by echoism, harmonism and primo copulism (doesn't that sound really dirty?). echoism is when your faces are similar, harmonism is when your facial proportions are similar, and primo copulism is when your partner's face resembles someone whom you shared an early bond with (eg father mother nanny.) the interesting part of the book was that the examples they used were celebrities, so you get to see how brad pitt resembles jennifer aniston, and it's scary how similar they actually are. check out how their jaws are like carbon copies. and there was this other really funny book that i wanted to buy, which i can't remember the name of. and i saw a book called "smart girls use dumbbells" which is quite amusing. needless to say, more time was wasted before we settled down in a corner of the german section, and basically wasted more time by gossiping and generally uhh wasting time. but it was so fun! bernasty kept going ok we'll start at 5 and then it was 530 and then it was 6 and we finally only got started properly at about 645. and studied until about 740. not even heavy-duty studying. this is very bad.
