today has been a Good Day. (read: this will be a long, happy post!)

well, yesterday too because purvis was nice to me again, and then i came home and found a surprise on my bed from my mummy: a box of four MAC lipglass tubes =) and then i slept for a couple of hours, had a slice of pizza and then more decent dinner, and then computered away four hours before getting to bed. finally.

this morning: 8am wake-upcall. i swear i'm getting so bad at listening to my phone alarm. i need a dozen alarm clocks like lorelai in season 3. it takes me atleast 25 minutes after the phone starts ringing, to stop hitting snooze. and sometimes i accidentally hit stop which just stops the ringing altogether. ugh and until now i was being pretty good at waking myself up so the rest of my family+maid etc stopped bothering to wake me up, so now i need them to make sure i wake up again.

anyway. made it in time for samjo to pick me and mag up, and then to school it was. cutting pieces of pretend-money and treasurehunt clues while the ice was breaking. funnily, i had to help it break with the ear-nibbling and the almost-spiderman kiss. but saved by the butler. though kelly and i concurred it would've been an interesting experience. kinky!!! rp is so sex-fied. on its way to a mass orgy or something. what a scary thought. in school, no less. with the huge windows and everything. but anyway it was extremely entertaining.

then the workshop so kelly and i escaped to A Very Long Engagement. (haha you know last night i accidentally said something like "kelly and i are on for a very long engagement!" to wiggy, and then i realised how very wrong it sounded.) anyway the film was really really really good. audrey tatou's fantastic. and i still haven't watched amelie. another one for the list of Films to Watch/Re-Watch After Commons, along with Eternal Sunshine, Closer, Million Dollar Baby and Spanglish.

after that i was sleepy and hungry and feeling guilty about impending common tests so i went home, ostensibly to study. but i ate and then the sleep overcame me and i slept for the inevitable atleast-two-hours, and then i woke and my mom was home and she wanted to go shopping. all the better that my stupid tutor (who was part of the reason i came home early, to do some work for tuition in the evening) postponed, but it worked out nicely for the shopping.

the shopping! Best Part of Today. my mother had insisted that the trip was for the sole purpose of buying me a new watch, but my mother is my mother. so instead of walking into swatch or city chain or something, she walks into Cortina and starts looking at Patek Philippe and Cartier watches. then it occurs to her that she's looking for a watch for ME and not her (well, sort of for her but she suddenly feels a need to fulfil the stated objective) so she asks the guy what they have in a lower price range (ie come down about 15,000 dollars.) so the guy offers this little dior watch, which is cute but 1. i don't like tiny watches and 2. i don't treat watches well enough to buy one for 800 bucks. he offers tissot, which comes down another 200 but rather ugly.

so we're off to cheaper watch places. except we simultaneously spot a SALE sign at Nine West and walk in there without a word. my mother ended up buying two bags at one go and feeling ridiculous about being such a bag whore especially in front of me whom she's always scolding for being a compulsive buyer of bags. but atleast we're even now because i bought those two bags from benetton and fcuk on one day a couple of weeks ago. except of course this is nine west so one bag alone costs as much as both my bags from that day combined.

finally, city chain and i got the black dkny watch i'd been eying for a while. or a version of it, i think the face on this one is different but it's really nice all the same. i'd originally wanted a white one i saw sometime back at OG or something with nasty, but it would get horribly dirty so it's a good thing this place didn't have the white one. though i did end up buying another white fossil watch. technically my mom bought it, but i'm obviously going to steal it whenever i'm bored of the black watch.

then i was yearning to look at polo jeans company and tommy hilfiger but my mother was feeling guilty about the expenditure by then (hahaha if only there was a circular flow of income on an individual level) so she refused to stop and risk seeing something we'd want to buy, except at aldo where there was another sale sign but nothing seemed to actually be on sale and anyway the shoes weren't fantastic. i should exercise such self-restraint and just refrain from walking into stores, in order that i might avoid the risk of sore temptation.

ok so now i'm supposed to be doing history. gah. the bad part of a good day is returning home and realising that the common tests aren't going to erase themselves from existence just because you're in a good mood.

yay, see? long post, as promised!
