i am repeatedly being told that my blog is very boring. i am v hurt!
today, the class was in top form. somehow everything was really humourous and dramatic and bitchin'! S as usual was scaring everyone, which was fun. and there were events. and uh. there was the whole spy-movie aspect of the day. ok not really. i just constantly imagine my life like i'm on a tv show. every so often that tv show is alias.
the two-hour conversation at the 'secret place' was really fantastic. it's been too long. and i'm glad K made me come back to school because my lit s grades were really really decent in comparison to the string of Us i was expecting. but then again, J told me that mac is extremely generous with the Ds except i didn't believe him then.
and thennnn i came home. and my mom's bought me another outfit from that exhibition. oh hm haven't blogged about that yet. there's this exhibition of indian designers being held at the hilton. they come every year i think, but they didn't come last year. anyway i went for the special preview of it with my mom on wednesday. and it was funny cos on the way my mom was professing that she was just taking me to see and help her pick stuff and wasn't going to buy for me cos i never wear indian clothes often enough to justify the cost. but then we got there and she told me to look around and see what i liked and eventually she bought me a very gorgeous silk shirt. but, well. she bought herself two shirts a sari blouse and two bags and some other stuff. and then she went back to the hilton again yesterday. and again today. to get stuff altered, buy some more stuff etc. and apparently on both days, almost every woman who was there on wednesday night was there again. just hanging around. crazy people.
anyway so she bought me one more thing. a cute polka-dotted salwar kameez. i like the black shirt better though. it's very reminiscent of manish arora's 'fish fry' shirts what with the inbuilt corsetty thing. but the fish fry shirts were less wearable because the fabric had pictures all over and it was very loud whereas my shirt is totally classy. i love it! though, come to think of it. manish arora might actually be cheaper though he's a bigger name than kanika mehra. hahaha that's funny. cos i told my mom "hey this is very manish arora" and that was part of what convinced her to buy it. but she didn't realise that manish arora shirts aren't really 4000 rupees. or maybe they are. my mom probably knows better than i do. she devours indian fashion magazines as voraciously as i do style.com. though she loses financial sanity when she comes near indian clothes. really. anyway polka dots also v trendy now, but less wearable precisely due to trendiness and bright-colouredness. and the fact that i rarely have occasion to wear salwar kameezes nowadays. so again with my mother's loss of financial sensibility when in proximity to indian fashion since on the car she told me that precise reason for not wanting to buy me indian clothes.
ah well. i'm not complaining =D perhaps i should be worried about spending upwards of 500 dollars on clothes for myself (well, combination of me spending on me and my mom spending on me) after every exam-y period of time. ok, well, after june commons there was major shopping. and there was major shopping recently, post-prelims. but i intend for far more major shopping post-As anyway. the penn application has a question asking what i do for fun. i'm wondering if i should say shopping and reading about fashion. and sleeping and eating and dreaming about my fantastic future life. wonder what they'll think of me. it'd be honest (except for the fantastic future life part, i'm sad but not that sad) but probably not very attractive.
hm i had a really long fulfilling nap today. but that's not going to make the news, well, EVER. so i shall try and find more interesting things to talk about. what else happened this week. skipped school yesterday, which is also not going to make the news. ok yeah the rest of the week was largely boring. was supposed to go watch corpse bride on wednesday but thong sort of forgot me - i would glare if not for the fact that he's already profusely apologetic and gave me a drawing as a form of apology since i don't like being profusely apologised to. unless the apologiser is someone i don't like, in which case i will enjoy the grovelling. but then i'm nice and don't dislike anyone =)
did anybody notice last night on the news that katie holmes' pregnancy headline preceded updates about the situation in bali? ok hm maybe they put the more important news last; i don't watch the news often enough to know what the order's supposed to be like but if it were up to me i'd put the important headlines first. though to an airhead like me i suppose katie holmes is more interesting than bali bombings. actually that's not true. i have a heart. (or jennifer garner is bigger news than katie holmes. like, katie holmes, bali, jennifer garner, in order of importance. hahaha i'm Kidding, ok?)
anyway it's more of. why is that a Headline anyway??? it's a headline on people magazine, understandably, but that's because TOM CRUISE is the most important person in the world for people magazine. or has been, for far too long. the news on channel five is hardly expected to be entertainment news. where is their sense of proportion?
so, yes. today was a good day. it's generally been quite an enjoyable week. today, after a long time K and i had several conversations on pieces of paper. i will miss that when we're no longer in the same school. i'm going to miss rj. it doesn't feel like it's quite over yet, because there are still revision lecs and classes and there's still the fellowship (sort of, haha) of facing the As. but, well. last day of official school, and i'm stupidly sentimental about stuff. i am going to miss this. i leave you with a quote by mr s: "thank you for the mammaries."
