today was a sweet sweet day.
i spent the morning and early bits of the afternoon with my squadmates chilling at st nix. eating and talking and revisiting our old tauhuay haunt. spent ages talking in that poorly ventilated NP room. the phrase 'yong yuan shi squadmates yi chang' will always apply. though of course, these days you forget who your squadmates are seeing that we haven't heard from them in like 2 years. but unfeeling as this may sound, some were never chummy to begin with. and those who still are, will always be.
and talking to some juniors. to some of my sec 2 squad(they're in J1 now). or just seeing how they're getting on. (i'm sounding almost motherly) but it's quite hard to envision them graduated, coz they're like my darlings!!(no i'm not mental)
mich came to my place after and our exhaustion confined us to lying on the floor and chatting till we dozed off after chatting incoherently. then we walked to the MRT and i went for my BBQ!
it was at ECP. we dashed out of the cab after i reached and nearly got run down by cars on both sides. tripped on a curb and dropped my slipper and cramped my ass. who'd have known that the pits are so FAR! there was like 12 people, but it was lovely hanging out with all of them. just talking and eating(i ate 8 chicken wings hunnybunnies) and frying my face in the pit. walking to 7-eleven with jj. and seeing mao react to my narration of the flirtatious girl at the bikini shop. the guys NS stories were seriously amusing la. all our lifestyles, however different, but always with some colour to add.
they made me this big board with stuff stuck on. it's really sweet, a snippet of what 2 years had to offer. sometimes i forget that it's just gonna be 6 months.
night :)

some random squiggles.
1. the nurse at the health screening centre wrote my height at 169cm so i'm officially 1 cm taller.
2. i think i'm losing my butt.
3. how's it possible that the sizes of jeans that i wear at Levi's and Guess differ by 3 sizes?
4. the rain's long-awaited.
5. i need to go tan and use my new bikinis.
6. it's my 18th empty Valentine's. (it sounds almost loser-ish. but gina commented that i'm hard to understand and asked me if i understand myself.)
7. A's won't come out next friday.
8. my hair smells like coconut.
9. i've gona to town consecutively for 4 days. and i think i'm rather sick of it.
10. i have a week.

i went back to school today. to hwachong to be exact. coz i keep getting replies about not receiving parts of my application etc. passed some mandarin oranges to Mr Wong and Mr Lee.
sigh. it's almost certain that the results will be out soon. like next week or something. eek!!
and.. i've finished half-blood prince. i'm feeling oddly displaced now. sort of sad. coz i've gotta wait a long while before it comes out and i just don't like waiting..
ahhhhh!! the apprehenson is building! and i think i'll positively die from fright. the stress which mgave me a permanent frown previously is back and i'm feeling really sad about it all.
was gonna catch some happy show today with jj. argh. i thought it was some sappy korean movie about 4 separate love stories, titled A Season for Love. now it'd have been god if they were happy stories. coz 2 couples broke up. a mother died and a fiance died in an explosion. it's totally inssane. should have been called A Season for Separation.
else, it was nice hanging with jj. we had sushi buffet and went shopping! i bought my first pair of Levi's. the stores here are catered to the asian build so it's not really fair seeing that they practically don't have my size. and we shopped around in heeren and i got my second bikini. it has all the hoops and things which i suppose my mom will call elegant, it only just cost me some $140 bucks. *gulp*
someone please stop me. i've already spent some 500 bucks in the last 2 weeks. and there's still the rest of the week..
ooh and unit day's this sat!! it's back to ole NP life and SN again!!

that sleep this afternoon really did me good. iguess when you're cranky from the lack of sleep and having things thrown at you is not exactly the best combination.
so i shall take a little time to describe my first-ever clubbing experience. it's quite similar to those club countdown parties which i went to in the past and kind of like the lounges which my dad takes us too occasionally. just multiply the noise and music level as well as smoke intensity by like 100 fold.
i went with my godsister jasmine and her friends. i won't say we're supposed to get so high and whatever. coz this kind of fun belongs to the loud sort. as compared to say reading a book.
it's still nice dancing though, invigorating. and just chilling with friends. having a couple of drinks. alcohol really does away with the inhibitions ya know. but definitely, a club is not a place to find friends, or to appreciate some atmosphere. the level of fun is highly dependent on who you go there with. so i must say that going with my friends made the experience more pleasureable.
there are these really gross desperate kind of guys who pick girls at random and start dancing body-to-ody with them. complete strangers at that. and peer pressure has probably never been more rampant than in such places. coz you get competitive couples trying to strut their stuff or maybe puffing on a cigarette. in summary, i'd that the cloyingly sweet smoke, really loud music and drinks contribute to a general air of unadulterated highs and in a way wastedness.
it's interesting what alcohol does to your brain. i didn't drink much. just 2 mixers and a shot. and it got a lot more cloudy than usual since i'm not very accustomed to hard liquor. sake, wine, beer and cocktails are manageable. but a shot which sends this really awkward burning sensation down your oesophagus wich lingers in your throat and starts firing up your stomach. it's pretty sick really. and it makes you oddly dizzy. the kind of feeling where your brain processes everything. i mean it, coz i retained the capacity to think and form opinions, make observations and even, yes, smirk. however, it did compromise my ability to walk properly and maintain my balance and control my laughing. okay i sound like a minor nutcase. we dropped by lau pa sat after that i got some water to drink.
i wouldn't mind going again with maybe some close friends, like my dear touffu! i also ran into any number of st nix girls. no kidding, like yolk, yixiu, shunman and their group of friends. i also saw, alvina, lynette and dawn. it's a little hard to get hooked on to clubbing though.
i stayed over at jas's place. i guess that was one of the reasons why my mom even allowed in the first place coz she's like really good friends with jas's mom. we got back at 4.30 in the morning and i slept about 5 hours before waking up for breakfast and heading to church in a really dazed state and still reeking of cigarette smoke. the afternoon nap worked wonders and i'm quite awake and cheery now.
it's pretty fixed now. i hear that A'level results are coming out on Feb 17. urgh. every though of it sends me into spasms of fear. but i can't collect it anyhow coz i'm flying on Feb 16. y room's currently in a state of deconstruction. and i guess i'm really gonna miss my room!!
but mostly, i'm gonna miss class 95!! argh they just had my favourite Soft Rock weekend. and there are those sessions with jean danker and rod monteiro.
and i gotta change my shampoo. it's getting wonky. i read somewhere that you gotta change your shampoo every now and then coz your hair gets accustomed to the chemicals and the shampoo doesn't clean as effectively. so i've got to switch again. my shampoo never lasts beyond 2 large pump bottles. sifone was the only brand that made it to 4 bottles but it's hard to find it normally.
okie. time out now. meeting jj tomorrow to chill. :)
