i had a nice evening :)

decided my threadlesses, then i headed to jelita to pick up movies and frozen pizza for the brother, and pimplebusting cream and extra shampoo for me. now i have three shampoos for various purposes. actually for the total price i might as well have splurged on a kerastase or something. but nevermind. i intend to spend $150 on a full kerastase de-frizzing set soon anyway. maybe after i chop off my hair after these damn exams finally get over. i keep saying i'll chop my hair off but i never have the guts to actually do it :/

my mom is supremely weird. i called her to inform her that she didn't have to stop by jelita on her way home because i was going to run there and back and pick up the stuff. and she started saying that it was the middle of my As and i shouldn't be running on the roads at 8pm because it's dangerous and she insisted that i run at the gym instead and she would go to jelita. i decided that i still wanted to go and have a proper wander through Guardian and WHSmith so i convinced her that i would -walk- and take a bus back instead. and then go to the gym. for some reason that was acceptable.

so i basically ran to jelita anyway, bussed back and went to the gym and did the treadmill superfast for ten minutes and it felt really good because normally when i do the half hour on treadmill i go really slow, like 6 km/h. today it was 8 or 9 for ten minutes. i don't know how effective it was in comparison to 6 for half an hour, but it sure felt good. plus i had to make it home for dinner by 9 when my parents would get home.

just now i was talking about Goblet of Fire and how Chit and Daph loved it but my brother didn't.
my mom: "how come you haven't watched it yet?"
me: "... I've been having exams. When would I have watched it?"
mom: "Yesterday."
me: "I was thinking of going for a movie yesterday but I didn't even bother to ask because I was confident you wouldn't let me!"
mom: "I'd have preferred if you'd gone for a movie instead of dinner out."

she is unbelievably anal about food. although, really, as i ranted in the previous post, it's not like food at home is particularly healthy. ok i guess i don't have super-creamy mushroom pasta at home, and my mom gets to control the portions somewhat. but... still! i didn't finish the mushroom pasta anyway. my mom's got strange bees in her bonnet. and i'd bet a hundred bucks that if i -had- asked her, she'd have said no. or if she'd said yes there would have been a whole lecture about being careful and stuff because "you have exams, you'd better take care of yourself." actually i got that lecture anyway when i called home after PC, because she was all "be careful, it's been raining, don't slip and fall and hurt yourself."
mothers.

in any case, Vaish, Nasty etc went for emily rose, not for GoF. and, actually, they went for dinner in addition to the movie. my mom thinks emily rose looks like a "gross" movie. i have a strange maternal unit. must finish reading InStyle soon before she steals it from me. she already tried this afternoon when she spotted it sticking out of my bag. eagle eyes!

anddd! West Side Story is coming to town next april! the opening night is the night before my birthday :) :) :) i hope the parents buy me niceeee tickets. anyway it's sponsored by UOB so there's a discount for UOB cardmembers, which i think my parents are =P which reminds me, i'd better get tickets for Rent. because some of the earlier shows got cancelled due to typhoon or something, so the people with cancelled tickets will probably want to buy the later show tickets so they might sell out faster. will ask mom to buy Rent and West Side Story tickets real soon so i can have Things To Look Forward To. besides, of course, the 29th of november. liberation day.

I.CANNOT.WAIT.
