Jeez my mother's making me go for some dinner party her friend's throwing, so now I have to shower quickly and change and go over! :(
And they've all gone already and I have to join them, because I just finished helping my ex-tutor for Tamil, with some English-Tamil translation she's doing. Haha my Tamil still works, I'm amazed. And she's going to pay me for helping her! Yayyy.
Today was quite a good day. As expected, didn't wake up in time to go to Ruth's, woke up in fact too late even to go for the RMUN briefing so I walked into the briefing an hour late, went outside 5 minutes later to help with the arrival of the Newater, and then went off for RP. Which was so -dead-. Oh embarrassing event of the day: walking towards the TSes with Kaimin to check if they're open, stepping on the stepping stones from the walkway to the TSes, and one of them flipping over, causing me to fall and scrape my leg. Atleast the only witness was Kaimin. It would've been mortifying if it'd happened on a normal school day between classes when millions of people can be found there. And Lysistrata - we need to do something about the script, or atleast ensure that future rehearsals are more lively!
And then went ostensibly to discuss the script over lunch (with my little stopover at Ruth's to sample the leftover chocolate), but that never materialised since Shirin had to go off... So Kaimin and I had lunch at Marche, where, due to his detox, he had nothing but a Diet Coke (1.5 calories approximately!) although I personally think that the lack of calories is made up for by the various other toxins in Coke but then I had a Coke myself so who am I to speak. Actually I never usually drink much Coke so it's alright. I feasted on a rosti with tons of sour cheese. Maybe I should try detox sometime. My skin's getting pretty awful. Anyway, walked around the Annexe and got really annoyed by the awful music although nothing beats the HORRENDOUS "what the fuck" music at Future State last night. That was painful. And I couldn't find Flowers in the Attic which is really the only store I like in the Annexe, so went back down to the HMV sale. Kaimin convinced me to buy a movie called Sleepers, but then I went upstairs to look at Aqualung (both CDs of which cost close to 30 fricking bucks, I need to check out Gramaphone!) and there was no cashier there so I decided that if I feel like, I'll pick it up on Monday. Anyway I feel very broke now after spending on the top and slippers last night, and the Marche instead of Delifrance today. And then I was extremely tired so I didn't feel like waiting for Shirin anymore, but Kaimin and I had a plan to walk into all the designer stores in Paragon and be extra. So we went to Gucci and Prada and YSL Rive Gauche and Ralph Lauren and I think made too-loud commentaries about the uglier clothes, because the storepeople were staring at us quite disdainfully/suspiciously, not least, I suspect, because we were grubbily attired in RJ uniforms, Kaimin in fact in PE shirt and berms, which I guess isn't really appropriate Gucci-buying material except, say, on Jake Gyllenhaal or something. And then.. went to Lido to meet Shirin but then she had gone to Heeren so I gave up, and I was supposed to meet up with Bernie but I felt rather exhausted and sick of Orchard (and here I thought I'd never see the day, but it was crowded and boring after the much-more-wonderful England shopping but anyway, atleast catching up with Kaimin was great). So after a brief period of wondering if I should go stone in Coffee Bean while waiting for them, I just decided to head home. And I kept falling asleep on the bus and almost missed my stop, so I think going home was a good thing.
And I think it would be a good idea to start a new paragraph. So home, slept. Sometime my mother came in to ask me if I wanted to help with some translation if I'd be paid so at first I mumbled something about how my Tamil sucked but my mom convinced me to do it so I said ok, and then I just woke up when my tutor rang the bell at about 7. So I helped her, and then my mom told me that I had to go for the dinner because otherwise my maid would have to cook at home just for me. So now I have to shower, and I'm disgustingly late! Sighhhh.
