I just finished watching Under the Tuscan Sun and it's such a beautiful movie! It's very very happy =)
And I think this means that any possibility has been ruled out, of me succeeding in my endeavour to turn up at Ruth's place at 630am tomorrow. Today, really.

I realised that Diane Lane looked a lot like someone else - and then I figured out that her facial expressions and things are very very similar to Lorelai, ie Lauren Graham. And then who should turn up at the end of the movie but David Sutcliffe - ie Chris! Haha and the music for the film was done by Christophe Beck - ie the guy who composed the Buffy theme! And the Diane Lane's character's lesbian best friend is played by Sandra Oh - less of a common name, but she looked damn familiar and I imdbed her and realised that she was Principal Gupta in The Princess Diaries!
And there's an actress called Lindsay Duncan who played this fantastic character with superb 50s glamour and charm and she's a little bit drunk and a little bit promiscuous and a little bit crazy. Imdbed her as well, and she acted in Private Lives! Not that I've ever seen Private Lives, but Alan Rickman! She may have acted with him! Haha.

What a wonderful movie.
It has inspired me to let things go and just be happy with whatever I have. How... cheesy but it's true! Otherwise I'd have like millions of things to be unhappy about! Ok I'm not really as stupid and shallow as I seem. The philosophy actually makes sense.

So, let me update my beloved readership about recent events in my life.
Common tests are over!!!!!! YAYYY. Haha. The fact that I didn't really do much studying means that I don't actually feel particularly relieved, firstly because there is the remaining stress of the results, and I really didn't stress out with studying or with worrying about the whole affair because I just said "to hell with commons" so it's no big difference. Besides the fact that I plan to do a regular studying and attending and listening to lectures thing from now on. It remains to be seen how long I will sustain commitment to the Plan.

In other news, went for dinner with Daph & Co today... or rather, to orchard first with Shirin. Gaped at the prices in DKNY and decided that most of the clothes weren't that great anyway besides some of the t-shirts. I don't think it was really a sour grapes thing. And then Zara, where we ran into half the world and also tried on about half the clothes in the shop before I bought one very cool top. And then to Coffee Bean, because I was ravenous and ready to eat a horse, in a manner of speaking since I am (predominantly) vegetarian. Anyway ravenously attacked my favourite doublechocolatechip muffin in the worlddd! Starbucks still doesn't beat it and I don't give a shit if anybody disagrees! Oh and the spot right next to the pedestrian walking area, at the Coffee Bean in front of Wheelock Place, is a deliciously fun people-watching spot. The whole world and it's neighbour was (were? notimeforgrammarnow) at orchard today and Shirin and I saw it all. And then... the busstop and the comic cockroach hat thing, and the losing our way because nobody was leading the way to Newton thing. And then the dinner, and then I made Shirin go with me back to Orchard so I could get my potato gratin for dinner, but then Delifrance had neither gratin nor croissants, so Shirin suggested revisiting Coffee Club Express for our favourite prata wrap. Unfortunately we passed Mphosis on the way and I HAD to blow 40 bucks on the slippers that Bernasty and I saw last Thursday. She says she's now going to get the bright orange version. But they're thoroughly worth it - they're so niceeee and pretty. Prata wrap was good as always, coupled with reminiscing about our various past experiences with Coffee Club Express in RG days. Oh, the good ol' days. Heehee. And then to Ruth's for 15 minutes which thankfully turned into 45 but there was no Bacardi Lime!!! And Bernasty was still only walking towards Ruth's when my dad was driving out, meaning that her Raffles Hotel chocolates were not destined to be savoured by moi. She says she'll save me some, but I hope she remembers and I really hope that I actually get there in the morning for a decent amount of time before RMUN/RP stuff.

Goodnight, finally!
