today was extremely weird. basically was in school for civics, english i think - for which purvis didn't turn up - and history lec. after that everyone ponned math lec and i was wandering around school looking for various teachers for various purposes, and soph and i had plans to go to orchard. well we were nice and informed batchelor, salina and seah that the class had vanished and therefore we were vanishing too. salina was amazingly nice about it, since it was for pw. of course soph and i weren't really vanishing specifically for pw, but because of pw because the rest vanished for pw. something like that. salina can be surprisingly nice when you're talking to her about non-economics stuff.

finally left at almost 12 and saw shane outside with bags full of food. apparently the class had all gone to ruth's house. well, atleast 2 groups worth, and they were camped out there doing pw. hmm i have done no pw today and math choon and viv skipped school presumably to do pw and yeekiat joined them after, i think. but i don't feel particularly guilty. i'll call someone in a little while and see how it's going and then add my bit. i hope they're not bitching about my irresponsibleness today.

ruth's house, buffed nails, lounged around with really great chillout jazz and stuff playing. slept for a while, and then went to orchard. watched white chicks with soph, which was hilarious.

did you know that i checked in 4 shops and de-lovely soundtrack was sold out in all? but apparently when it -was- selling, it was 28 bucks in hmv and 19.90 in sembawang. why do they sell the same stuff for almost ten bucks more? i guess hmv, borders, tower etc are best for the hard-to-find stuff. and de-lovely was either ordered in a very small amount, or someone bought out all the stores or it's extremely popular. the last option is strange as it's only playing in one cinema, so how can it be that popular? hmm.

anyway i did find swing when you're winning for a steal at hmv - $15. i want more music. i need to visit gramaphone sometime. gah but depressingly, i'm leaving for india in less than two weeks and i haven't got any portable means of playing music yet. besides my ancient discman which hardly works anymore. but it makes sense that i don't deserve to buy an ipod right now. so i'm wondering if i should buy a new discman instead. that atleast is only about 200 - 250 bucks. hmm.
