wow i haven't been here since tuesday! long post coming up:

wednesday was dull. went for pw, stoned around a lot, slept through the hair presentation and zhi an noticed but i figure they didn't really care anyway, presented our thing which went off pretty well, clipped sophie's nails because she is completely hopeless, chatted with choon and soph, then the rest went to mac's and a i went home. for the life of me i cannot remember what i did after that. even my extensive blogging on the class blog reveals nothing. i guess i must've slept for a while, and then done math or something. gross. i think sophie's right - i'm doing more studying now than i did before promos. jireh rubbed that in real hard this morning. ewww gross statement.

anyway. was fun talking to jireh after a long while. but being reassured by chronic overachievers when you've got the grades i have is not very.. reassuring. my grades are perfectly embarrassing.

to go back to the recapping of my life. so wednesday was a bore, thursday morning i decided not to go to school on time. so i watched gg which was a better ep this time, but yet again totally forgettable luke-lorelai scenes. could they BE more uncouply. geez. but atleast some interesting developments, all of which i was spoiled about. norman mailer is a boring guy. after that got to school at about 1230, hung around doing admin stuff. i'm only ever going to school to see teachers, to submit various rp/pw/nonsense stuff. oh shit by tomorrow i've got to finish the cip shit. ugghh. went for purvis' lesson, then ran off with sophie to watch Before Sunset. nasty almost went with, but as usual she cancelled. i think i should announce to the world that it's really annoying when people cancel plans. this isn't a bitter rant towards anybody in particular and definitely not the bernasty thing cos that was hardly consequential, but it has reminded me of a peeve i have - you know, don't say you'll do something and then suddenly change your mind. it's really a pain in the ass. actually it's not a peeve, just a general decency thing.

Before Sunset was really really good anyway. i looooovved it. it was way more fulfilling than De-Lovely or White Chicks. White Chicks fulfilled the laughter quotient, but for obvious reasons it's not the sort of movie that you take away a whole lot from. De-Lovely was perfectly lovely, but in the style of the time, imagine that said in a really dahhhling perfunctory tone. great music, great directing, great musical sequences and all, but at the end you don't really feel a great deal for the characters. they didn't develop it enough, somehow. and the way the marriage between the two of them worked, it could have been so interesting and poignant but somehow it was only vaguely touching, which is sad because the directing style was sort of intended to bring the weird notions of love across. in any case, Before Sunset was much better, maybe because i've actually seen the previous one Before Sunrise. both are really really good, -natural- movies. you could totally put yourself in the person's shoes - i mean they're just normal people having a conversation. so he's ethan hawke and she's got a great ass, but still, normal people, a chance meeting and a conversation that lasts 9 years. i really really liked it.

after that walked around paragon and tried on a bunch of very expensive things at armani exchange. they have a couple of really nice things, but overall i don't love it too much. i need to lose weight. my curves are just disgusting. waist curves, thigh curves, ass curves - you get the picture.

today: got woken up at 8 by sophie to rush to school to speak to hodge. i told her to gimme 45 minutes, they started speaking to him at 825 so i walked in 20 minutes later and said i'd been feeling ill so i stayed home in the morning but rushed cos i wanted to talk to him too. but the important stuff got said before i arrived, so it was a bit pointless. went for kwok's lecture: as usual stupid. did the admin stuff, passing rp forms to pe dept, some stuff to mrs v. talked with jireh a bit, and then played risk which i lost horribly because my ALLIES GANGED UP AGAINST ME. kelly was KICKING MARK under the table to try and ally with him. i.d.i.o.t.

oh we did illegal things in school!!! hahahaha. so fun. ok nothing to do with sex, drugs or cigarettes. but it was funkyy. so my room is temporary storage for the stuff. the stufffff hahaha.

then i went to orchard to meet choon vivien and ruth. went to forever21 which had a few nice things but overall wayyy too crowded and ordinary american stuff. it's very delia's-ish. choon, kelly and i escaped early to go to coffee club express for lunch. along the way tried shoes at charles and keith, boots and stilettos at nine west, and briefly paused at fcuk. then lunch - prata wrap, some controversy, tissue paper origami cranes and some silence and me sprawling on the table and suggesting doing math to get over the boredom, and then bit by bit choon, kelly and i escaping. kelly and i went to bcbg where i tried a dress which fit me pretty ok but whose neckline went halfway down my chest. otherwise a nice dress, but dresses show off my curves to great effect which is bad cos my curves are fugly. gah. i will keep trying dresses until i find a cut that suits me. i never wear dresses. i'm turning girly. first skirts, now dresses. what next. when i came out of the dressing room, soph had magically appeared! so we walked around dkny and calvin klein and they got bored while i marvelled at the gorgeousness of the calvin klein parka and the woven leather bag and boots and heels, and a couple of really pretty tops which were, amazingly, under hundred bucks so i need to try my mother's generosity. she's somewhat successfully convinced me that the fcuk jacket is pointless right now, since i'll maybe wear it a bit in india, and the next opportunity i'll have for warm wear will be a year later, and after that in university or whatever but by then won't i want -new- jackets that aren't more than a year behind season. blazers might be out of style by then for all i know. so for now i should buy singapore clothes and not warm clothes. makes sense. also, i've convinced my mom to translate her generosity when it comes to buying indian clothes, into greater generosity when buying non-indian clothes, because i only wear the indian clothes once or twice a year and it's pointless spending 500 bucks on things that in my entire life i'll probably wear about 5 times. okay so there are fashionistas in europe who spend 50000 on clothes they'll wear once in a lifetime and pose for a magazine or two in, but that's a different budget altogether.

ended up in fcuk, sophie tried some clothes and a skirt was tighter on me than on her, proving the immense size of my ass. but it was a real nice skirt on soph. and i bought a really really pretty red canvas purse for 60 bucks. definitely an impulse buy, but it's completely beautiful and really roomy but still compact and overall gorgeous the zipper looks really cool and it's worth every cent. i have to remember to bring cash on monday because i didn't have enough, and sophie paid via atm on my behalf and will kill me if i don't return the money.

my movie for tonight, chokher bali, got cancelled and i only found out as soon as i got on the bus to go home, having left early at about 30 in order to get home and eat and change in time. but minty wasn't free or something. damn. anyway, my mom liked my purse and tittered a little about me randomly spending 60 bucks on a purse, but she likes red as well so overall approved. damn, if only i could make her pay for it but it would be horrible to go now and ask her to gimme 60 bucks for a purse i already bought.

i will go now and do something useful. i've done absolutely nothing since i got home, and my lower front teeth hurt because i have an ulcer on my gum below my front teeth and the pain's all the way up to the teeth. i think i might actually sleep early. hm.
