I think my recent infrequency of blogging can be attributed to one or a combination of a few things:
- i've finally gotten over the blogging-addictedness, and the need to blog about everything. and i've turned into one of those annoying people who have really interesting blogs (teehee) but who blogging only once every month or something.
- i'm beginning to fail to see the humour in life, since i usually blog about all the funny things that happen to me, and of late i haven't really blogged much
- funny things haven't happened to me at all.
- i'm too tired to blog.
anyway, whatever it is, i'm going to blog properly about the past few days, starting from wednesday, since i can't really remember anything interesting before then.
wednesday - racial harmony day. lots of rain - sleepy day. first time in my life that i've completely deeply slept through the interval between classes. i don't remember when mellim left and salina or whoever it was, came in. it was quite strange, and it got repeated on thursday but that's another story which isn't particularly fascinating. what -is- fascinating, though, is the lack of racial harmony day spirit in RJ. although it occurs to me that perhaps only RG bothered as much as it did, with everyone dressing up and no lessons and celebrations and everything. but it was so fun! RJ was completely dead, full of spoilsports who can't be bothered with an interesting ethnic costume. practically all the people who bothered were rgs girls. jireh was really adorably dressed as a vadhyar type, though, with dhoti, pink shirt and angavastram. rather hilarious. ildcs dance - it went ok, i think. it was too fast, and everyone who told me it was good was a friend of mine, and wasn't particularly enthusiastic about it so i guess it wasn't really that great. but i maintain that the song is gorgeous and the choreography is good, so perhaps with a longer period of rehearsal time and better audio in the concourse, it could've been good.
lysis rehearsal - i essentially wasn't required, as chloe was rehearsing the love scene and vaish was going off to meet yvette from SIF, but i stayed for hadri's soul-searching characterisation warm-up, and for some more time working with the chorus etc. then left for ps, where vivien was late and i forgot to go meet vaish until 15 minutes later. but she wasn't there, and as it later turned out, she was at the n-s mrt control station whereas i went to the nel one. so anyway vivien turned up, we got pretzels for dinner and i also got my fill of mrs fields' cookies which i saved for fort canning. and then i went and bought the wraparound shirt which i wanted vivien's opinion on first, since we ran into bernasty and ruth outside and they were as late as we were, and we figured it was ok. so we were in time at fort canning anyway, since in typical style of these events, it started later than it proposed to. and i think i blogged about the rest already, somewhat. vivien and i didn't pay for our tickets anyway, in case i hadn't blogged that - we accidentally went in through the vip entrance and then just conveniently forgot to go to the tent below to get tickets. haha. it was really fun. i stayed through cut, the ads, and halfway through duplex - which, incidentally, i didn't like. so bernie, we're on the same page there. when i said typical ben stiller entertainment, i meant funny but essentially daft. i guess you can even call it unfunny, but meet the parents was actually quite funny. duplex was just sort of a drag. i was all alone after ten cos everyone left, and i was tempted to call my dad to pick me up early but just sitting on the hill was really nice so i stayed till he came.
thursday - not particularly interesting, skipped pe for the third week in a row, came home, watched the OC, cried, therefore didn't finish my homework, slept. the interesting thing about the day was the rolly scandal, which highly amuses and embarrasses me.
friday - school: told my mom i had a headache so i went back to sleep in the morning, woke at 930, arrived at school at 1030, just in time for math, and entered the lt before any of my class, or for that matter, humanz, turned up. they were all amazed at my love for math. i can't really remember much else of the day. skipped pe again. talked to purvis for 45 minutes with vaish, about various things. he's such a nice man, but he should really not grow his beard. the unconditionedness of it was distracting me the whole time. if he's gonna grow a beard, he should put conditioner on it like brad pitt, or else his poor wife. (brad did it for jen! isn't that sweet? and michael vartan can never have stubble because otherwise jen garner gets rashes. earlier because of the numerous kissing scenes, now because they're simply an item and both so beautiful that they -must- kiss a lot. if i was either of them, i'd always want to be kissing the other. haha that is -so- bisexual of me. so what if i love jen garner. i'm not jealous of michael vartan, which is telling. i'm just a diehard shipper.) anyway where was i. rolly came up bopping to his music, and then purvis told us that he used to call rolly robbie williams, and rolly took off his headphones and tried to put it on purvis's head, saying "you've got to get a groove on, mate" in his adorable half-cockneyish accent, and vaish and i practically swooned. actually i don't think we did - we just talked about it after purvis and rolly were far out of earshot. so even if i'm not prepared to shag rolly, i have to join vaish's and ruth's and CHOON's loving-rolly club.
after that, i went home to change and then picked up vaish to go watch mean girls, which was really ... fetch! hahaha. i have to find out who the boobs girl was, she looks SO familiar. i loved her; she was so earnestly stupid it was endearing.
and then dinner with j1 and j2 excos (or less than half of j2 and a bit more than half of j1, which is odd because i expected the opposite.) at nooch. i didn't realise that nooch was asian noodles, so basically there was all of one veg item on the menu, which wasn't very good. acquired taste i guess. but i'm really not into asian food at all, except for indian. anyway, i survived it. and then i was left alone in borders for 3 minutes and i managed to spend 34 bucks. but i got three really good books which i will go and cancel off my wishlist: oryx&crake, the autograph man, black album (hanif kureishi).
today - woke up to marvellously heavy rain. it's a really nice feeling to wake up when it's pouring buckets outside your window and you're warm in bed. only my curtains were closed so i could just hear the rain, but still. i was expecting to have to run 2.4 but that was rained out, yay! anyway i did the 5 items but failed sbj completely for the first time in my life, and got a B for situps after a very long time, and did a disgusting shuttle run after a very long time, showing that i'm horribly unfit. so i'm going to have to retake the 5 items anyway. sigh. lysis rehearsal was exhausting but productive. and bernasty, ruth and vaish were supposed to go to my place for lunch before going to watch the debates, but the group morphed into vaish, claud, zhong xing, ian and hadri. hadri and the paneer was funny - convincing him that it wasn't fattening, followed by him loving it very much. anyway that was good, and then cabbed to tjc and had a good sleep on the way. it was amusing, because i woke up halfway and realised that ian and zx were also fast asleep, and i wondered if i should worry that the cabbie would take advantage of our asleepness and kidnap us or something. i'm turning into my mother. only she would worry about something like that. haha. debates were quite fun, but rj lost. and there was geography, contours, various crude jokes, and sophia being highly embarrassing on the train. she was very LOUDLY pretending to be lesbian and sort of hitting on me, and there was me trying to shift away from her, and other people looking at her and smiling amusedly at her antics, and ian trying not to know us, and thorough embarrassment, the worst part being that sophie and ian got off at city hall or raffles city or whatever so i was left alone to be embarrassed there. and since i've come home all i've done is type this post, talk to michael, stuff myself with more paneer gravy at dinner, and listen to all the rufus wainwright i have. i love rufus but i seriously need new music. perhaps i shouldn't have bought those cds on friday, and bought music instead.
ok. man. superlong post. bye now. off to eat ice-cream and then watch the simple life with my mom.
