it's over!

bioinformatics was surprisingly easy on me. i don't mean easy as in easy to do, but like i had no problem settling into the paper. (whatever that means.)

point is: i'm FREE. :D

to my other darlings still facing the wrath of the mpshs and wherever you have exams at ntu: push on sweeties! don't falter! the finish line is just round the corner! it will be over in the blink of an eye!! soon, sooooon! :)

so. i already have a list of things to do lined up. you know me, always on the go. haha. well, sometimes.
1. visit mak nyayi! and see humairah! god, i miss that lil rascal. she's probably learnt so much at school (nursery) since i last saw her. eerrhh geram! feel like want to gigit(bite) her when i see her! haha.
2. clean up the mess i made of the study and the living room during this nasty exam period.
3. start pumping tuition! time to up the frequency of the classes, the kids' mid-years round the corner! *gak!*
4. start making myself useful around the house. little baby steps now, nothing too big or major please mummy. have mercy on me! ;)
5. plan party! most of the invites are out, so ground-work prep time! nydia! we have a cookery volunteer! and i believe she's VERY reliable. ;) hehehe and i have my sweet darlings who can help us prep that afternoon! let's do up the place ok! leave the decor sourcing (and finances) to me! :D i'm so excited, but i can't get you right now, think you sleep liao!
a) go jb with ayah?
b) preorder cake!
c) convince a girlfriend to come with me to um, help the granny cook. aahh!
6. hang with missymarsie whom i miss so dearly! (friday!)
7. hang with nydiacamelia whom i miss so dearly! (friday?)
8. hang with the rest of the girlfriends as soon as they kick exams' butt!
9. PARTY!
10. and of course. see baby more! :)

after paper today of course, we hit town. checked out the new(old?) cathay cineplex opposite hotel rendezvous (darn i forgot the name of the building). but yeah it's down the road from ps, then atrium, and there it is! spanking new, nothing in it yet. 'cept the cineplex. hee. sat around and waited for the movie to start, so camwhore in me awoke. walked around abit, everything was still boarded up, but they had the names of the upcoming shops! there's gonna be a ben&jerry's cafe! um, can't remember the rest, hee. there were cute cartoons on the boards though. cute typical contemporary ones of adults in the metropolitan setting. i took a shot of my favourite. :D they also had floor-to-ceiling posters of upcoming movies. so many i wanna catch! the big names (miIII, davinci, xmen3, superman returns), as well as the cartoons! :D our movie was in the cathay classic or something like that, so old school! got usher to bring you to your seat, with red bowtie some more! hehe! and there's like these column-like structures with yellow lights on the walls which i felt added grandeur.

quote of the day: batman begins, superman returns, what cock.

aaand we rounded up the night with a round of ice-cream, followed by MOTORMOUTH-ing in the car! :D my boyfriend has GOT to be the biggest motormouth around.

oh we also did just sit in the carpark downstairs, just talking. not like serious talk or anything, it was pure rubbish. (that's like an oxymoron.) FUN! :D

ok, now tired. want shower, want sleep. :)

yesterday, my mummy got me TWOO cakes! (i'm so spoilt eh.) :D

paper today was killer to say the least. i had no idea an mcq paper could be that draining. yeech. and then i hear there's this other paper which is like 100mcqs. in two hours! better still, someone says there's a paper of 200mcqs! (dunno if true or not ar.) i'm like shit! is that even physically possible??

so now i'm looking up and printing the notes for my last exam(whee!). open book. not particularly a favourite module to say the least. bioinformatics.
and watching dia now. so sad. dwi died, ivan left dia "for good", eka is refusing to talk/step out of his dazed state, and oh! dia just fainted. :( oh and that has miraculously woken eka from his slumber. heh.
wireless rocks babeh! ;)

Sunday, April 23 | 1:21 am

the morning was the most un-birthday-iest morning EVER.
and i have lovely exams to thank for that.
i was up early, last minute cramming. because i totally zonked out on the couch last night (technically 2 nights ago) till like 4am sat morning. and then i moved to the bed. hee. so i made myself get up at like 7 to cram. ugh.

so it REALLY didn't hit me that it was my birthday. even when my parents wished me early in the morning and all. (the sister was sound asleep, the brother couldn't care less. heh.) plus, for the first time in a long time, i only had ONE message and call at midnight, and another message in the morning. all from the love of course, cause he's the only one who has the other number. ;) hehehe. even the best friend had to call up the boyfriend to get that number. hehe. sorry darlin sya! btw, I MISS YOU can?? :(

Friday, April 21 | 8:03 pm

i CANNOT BELIEVE..
I LOST MY PHONE ON THE EVE OF MY 21st BIRTHDAY!

*wails*
:( :( :(

what i like about birthdays is the sweet sweet messages from friends and family on the day of. oh boo boo boo. boo hoo hoo.
:'(

oh and calc went as expected. i wouldn't cry over it though.

and like before calc paper, my heart couldn't decided whether to be in my throat or in the pit of my stomach. so it was like jumping around, up and down.
gosh i had NEVER felt like that before. haha. it was a different kind of exam jitters.
plus the added worry of my phone! i couldn't find my phone in the morning before the exam, but i assumed i had left it my daddy's car. but i couldn't be sure. and i retraced my steps, which was only to the toilet, and i couldn't find it. so i kinda told myself must be in the car.
BUT DON'T HAVE!! :( :( :(

i had to drop by arts to get my german test scripts back, and since i have been cooped up like FOREVER at home, i decided to walk from mpsh to arts. OH MY GOD. it was a bloody hike!!
mpsh is like subzero level, like basement level or something. and i walked through yih. so imagine the steps from mpsh to the bridge to yih, from yih canteen up to study room, up, up, up, and i swear it was from like the subzero level to the highest point on kent ridge!!
ok it's pretty difficult for you to appreciate the PAIN i went through if you haven't walked the route before.
i decided to walk because i felt sluggish, i wanted to get my heart pumping, but boy i didn't anticipate that. because we do usually walk from yih to arts, and that is already hike enough. but it didn't occur to me that i would be from mpsh, subzero, ergo TWICE the usual hike. haii.

so anyway. got my german test scripts and graded assignments. what can i say, german is my pride and joy. ;) haha.
oh and the final semester test which i had trouble trying to study for; i did better than my first one! i got a 90! :)
i remember telling zat a day after the test, that i was glad i didn't study any harder for the test, because it was waayy killer. like it was seriously picking through my brain! it was awfully draining, i mean i could literally feel myself sorting through the mess of information and rules in my brain as i did the test. like i scoured every corner of my brain to answer every question, looked at each question from every angle and left no stone unturned. and like studying harder wouldn't have made it easier because it was just an awfully demanding paper.
which is why i think i did better. i was more CAREFUL. i mean if i had fully prepared for it, i would have like zipped through it, thinking oh i studied this, it should be a breeze. but by not studying for it, i became more aware of what i was thinking and writing down. which is, i feel, the key to tackling demanding papers. and so marsie darling (i think) said, "maybe next time you shouldn't study!" haha.
and third and last vocab test was returned too. a hundred percent, whee!~ ;D
i collected for marlini, she did well too! her best so far, congrats babe! :D (but i can't tell her that cause i lost my phone! argh!) i was so excited when i got her script i was like i can't wait to tell her! and then i remembered. :(
oh, on our last german lesson. my teacher happily announced the breakdown of marks for the assessment. and i found out that AAAALL my german tests, all FIVE of them, amount to only a miserable FORTY-FIVE percent! haaii. and like the majormajor semester test? only fifteen percent, thanks. haha. but language, i guess what matters is active and constant participation and of course, diligence. :D anyhoos, i think i should do pretty ok. :)

oh and i dropped by ibn today! picked up my papillos, aahh!! :D :D
and since i didn't have my phone, i didn't call kak hanna to tell her i was coming!! oof. so i kinda staked out ibn from noon onwards. and i was told perhaps she's at the gym, or coming to the gym. so then i staked out the gym. it wasn't at all boring though. spoke to a couple of pretty interesting people. hell, i spent 2 hours talking to people i didn't know, SEPARATELY. one was the gym guy, one the kakak at the reception. and i saw the new a*star gym, synapse! WWAAHH!! i hope i get access to it too! they say you need the perm card, i'll probably be getting the temp one. but i asked the guy and he said we could probably work something out. and i asked if staff could bring visitors, so we'll see how! :D got POOL table also, and a MUSIC room like jamming studio. HOW COOL! i can't waiit i'm soOo excited to get back there! :D
anyways, in the end, i didn't meet kak hanna, but i did get my papillos! kak sarina from reception helped me get it. god i stood there for god knows how long talking to her. haha. what a character! ibn looks even more promising this time! :)
oh and i was so hard up to get my papillos cause i wanna wear tomorrow! birthday, mah! ;) yaayy!!

so i'm officially a happy girl (minus the phone :()
who shall try her best for her remaining three papers.
and shall now go off to practice for tomorrow's paper while waiting for survivor!
(i turn tv-whore come exam time. cause i'm always at home, and i study with the tv on. else, i can't study. gilmore girls, oprah, entertainment tonight, csi, law and order, ami, whatever's on man. and i don't usually catch these shows. haha.)

toodles!~

Thursday, April 20 | 10:00 pm

ibn calls!
i'll be working on Gene Delivery Project, and i saw this particularly interesting one.
Small Interfering RNAs for Gene Therapy of Brain Tumours.
how cool, how cool!
small interfering RNAs are RNAs that destroy other RNAs, and hence i presume, siRNAs destroy the RNA molecules responsible for tumour growth. i guess when your tumour suppressor gene fails you, tumour-causing genes start to be transcribed, but you don't want that to go any further, do you, so you destroy the transcripts!
BUT.
then you'd forever have to be on these siRNAs. and that doesn't make sense.
(and the theory CAN'T be that simple.)
so i'm going to find out! :D whee!~

ok ok i know ibn isn't syahirah's or suhaila's particularly favourite place. (su just likes to go there for the gossip from, get this, DR x(his name has been removed to protect his identity). yup. a fully-certified RESEARCH scientist who has all the dirt on everyone in the office, AND not afraid to dish it out to us interns. plus he has a hairstylist. so trust me, he does NOT have einstein hair. haha.
anw, as i was saying, they may not like it there, and yes i admit it doesn't have the best working environment, but who cares, I CAN'T WAIT!! the project sounds suuuper exciting, and i already have images in my mind of me doing stuff around the lab! i miisss the laabb! the latex gloves, the pipettes(my fave.), the gene assays, the gels, the bacterial cultures, and oh! i hope i get to do dna microarray! haha. so if you don't already know what a lab rat i am, you probably have an idea now. 8-D
and i'm proud of it! not everyone is skilled enough to work in the lab, ok. (not that they want to anyway.) haha.
whatever, i still feel damn pro pulling on the white coat and the latex gloves and working machines and experiments that some people know no shit about! haha.

sigh. back to calc.
i can't wait for tomorrow, when calc will be over! whatever the outcome, i don't really care. :D
altho my current biggest fear IS seeing that fat giant ugly 3 on my transcript come may. :(

Wednesday, April 19 | 4:59 pm

i just checked my nus email account. and lo and behold, there was an announcement about duke-nus gms.

i found their site two weeks ago. haha. along with mcat information. which is by the way, a 9am-5pm paper. with a one hour lunch break and 2 optional ten-minute breaks. wth. otak can pecah man like that.

not to mention, before the gms site was up, i found the .pdf document of their contact list on google. because i was trying to source them out, look out for application procedures etc etc.

money, money. constant ringing at the back of the head.

you know when so many paths are laid out in front of you, you don't know which to choose.
because as you have aged and grown wiser, you know so much more. you know there is a whole world out there. more than just this, there's this and that and this and that. in fact, it is perhaps only now that you know yourself better.

so many paths, so many choices.
yet, so many obstacles.
but most importantly.
which is the path for you?

which reminds me:
when i met some american pre-meds at king's, we talked about the different medical schooling systems our countries have, this was what they had to say:
1. how do you know at such a young age that that is what you want to do for the rest of your life? esp with the medical profession; it's not a career, it's a lifestyle. hell, we were teenagers when we had to make that decision.
2. how can you study so little and become a doctor so fast? according to them, they have a liberal education system. for us, it's a fast-tracked one-way road.

well. for 1. that's not to say that you can't get out of it later on. you can. vivian balakrishnan did say medicine used to be a dead-end road, but not anymore. and i have met doctors who decided the world of medicine is limiting them, and have in fact, entered the corporate world, what with the up and coming biotech industries and companies. on another note, i was at a forum at biopolis when the panelist mentioned someone who has an m.b.b.s, but is no longer practising, and instead is working with the tourism board, promoting medical tourism in the middle east. (how funky is that.) you do need the basal knowledge of the product you are promoting, i would think. esp a product like that.
however, at this point, i would like to clearly state that i do not condone that; leaving the field once you've had your fill.
yes perhaps at that age, you thought the world of that line, it was your dream, you wanted to pursue it, and so you did. but later on, you feel otherwise? you know more of the world now, you see other opportunities now? now to talk about getting out of that line does not come without a few moral battles, does it? firstly, in a country like ours, it is such a coveted line of work. it has always been exclusive, considering the expertise needed. but because of our one and only yong loo lin school of medicine (which nydia says sounds like it's in china. i agree, king edward VII college of medicine sounds so much cooler. nevertheless, thank you mr/dr(?) yong loo lin.), it becomes all the more coveted, because only a privileged 230 a year have that opportunity. and to pursue the degree overseas, saying you are privileged is by far an understatement. all the same, regardless of where you went to study, you have clearly been selected as the few who are able to carry out the duties and responsibilities of an expert healthcare-giver. so give it.
taking it further than that and looking at our country alone, no matter if you have served your bond, should you really leave the field? what about the social and moral obligations? if you do not fulfill your duties, who will? someone else who will have to double up for you? to cover the hole you left behind? will your exit not leave a gaping hole in our already depleting board of doctors? which brings me to no 2.

first and foremost, we were a colony. so like it or not, we followed most of how the english do things. education included. (digression: you know how in primary school our teachers taught us to write day and date at the top right and left hand corners of the page, and then to underline it using a ruler? well we got that from the brits. haha. meredith pointed out to me how she finds it so cute that the brit students write the date at the top right corner of every first page and underline it using a ruler, "no one at home does that, but they all do it here!". that was when i realised omg, our primary school teachers used to force that on us!)
and that was how we got the undergraduate medical system. with already so few doctors in society, it looks less than feasible to suddenly extend the medical schooling system into postgraduate. so whether the education our locally-trained doctors received is liberal or not, as for now, we have to live with it. plus, education and knowledge is never limited to the classroom, yes?
and fortunately for us now, we have duke-nus gms making it's entrance. so in due time, we could have practitioners trained in a many various fields. although it is said that clinicians trained in the gms are focused towards research, ie clinician-scientists. but who knows, perhaps after our pool of expert health-givers have grown, undergraduate medicine at nus may no longer exist. there is no more for that need to fast-track. i mean, liberal education is always good, no? but at this point, our society perhaps cannot afford that.

omg, to think i just wanted to put up a short post about the gms.
shiites, calc is day after, i have not started!
and i got on the darned net to download tutorials. see what happened?? argh.

at this point, i'm just thinking.
wouldn't it be great if i were made of money? and in this sense, not just to shop, shop, shop.
if i were made of money, then i can do as i please all my life. like study and get a degree, perhaps be a teacher, or maybe a counsellor, perhaps study somemore, a masters maybe, perhaps take on graduate medical school, and like explore academic pursuits all my life! and all the while, not having to worry about where my next meal is going to come from, how i'm going to pay for the house or how my children's education are going to be funded.

wanting to be made of money goes beyond the superficial shop all day, bum all life, you know.

Tuesday, April 18 | 11:49 pm

i'm averaging one a half sets of lecture notes a day!
disgusting.
*bangs head on wall*

my brother said today "i can't wait till i get older then i can study like kak ni." when he witnessed me sprawled and my notes strewn all over the living room floor, pillow by me, but eyes on the tube. oh and cause last night i fell asleep in the living room, pillow, notes and all; tv, fan and lights left on till 6. he says it's damn fun to fall asleep in front of the tv and to wake up in front of it too. geez.

first paper this friday, yet the urgency has not hit me.
by the way, it's calculus this friday. the horror.
i'm crawling at a snail's pace with calculus. still at tutorial 7. oh and the ca was up to tutorial 6. so since week 7 of this sem, i have advanced by one miserable tutorial.
god how i regret doing this module. wth. at least with the other modules, i'm up to level with everything till the end of school.

and by the looks of it, i can only start on st2238 on friday, and the paper's on saturday. (so much for 5day week people, great.) and can only start on lsm2104 one and half days before the paper. and starting on calculus 2 days prior. IF i can finish lsm2102 by tonight. and that's a BIG if.
the only exam i wouldn't mind taking at this point is german. but there is no exam. sadly.
ironically.

get set to watch that cap sliiiiiide.
four no more.

boo hoo.

Friday, April 14 | 2:15 pm

i hate hate haaaate being sick.
i woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible terrible sandpaper throat.
uugh.

and then, this morning i awoke at like, noon.
with a throbbing headache.

and i have dinner plans with my babes tonight! sore throat = cannot talk! how.

AND i had planned to start on my mugging proper today! :(

my first paper is in exactly a week. oh god.

like i've said to some people before,
i'm so over this sem, before this sem is even over.

too many mistakes, much too little resolutions.
and hardly any repentance.
too few modules i enjoy, much too many i loathe.

i honestly honestly regret not doing any level 3000 modules this semester.
stupid king's still hasn't handed us our transcripts. hence, no credits --> don't meet the prerequisites for level 3000.
and if i had done a level 3000 module, that would have been one less module i loathe, and one more i enjoy. it's like a difference of two, nett.
worse still, i am totally scared that my years three and four will be overloaded. :(

on a lighter note.
two nights ago, my brother said to me
"kak ni, there are two types of people in this world.
those who need closure to every sentence.. (trails off)"
i reply almost promptly
"and those who close off every sentence?"
and the brother goes
"well it's clear to me which one you are."

which makes me a better-than-average candidate for that joke actually.
because most people will just demand an end to the first sentence. e.g.
"There are two types of people in this world.
those who need closure to every sentence.. (trails off)"
"and?"
(silence)
"AND?"
"oh shit."

better-than-average, that's what i like to be. ;)

you know it's still perfect even after five years when,
you were held up for almost an hour in the lab,
and he's waiting at the carpark,
but when he sees you rush towards his car,

he smiles.

:)

not only the happiest, but also the luckiest.

ice age 2 was waay entertaining! loved it!
next up: cars and over the hedge.
cartoons rock! we love cartoons, we love cartoons!

oh, and welcome baby taz! :D

Sunday, April 9 | 2:22 pm

i've been wanting the sliiiiim motorola v3~s. colour edition of course. v3 got colour, but less than average functions. v3i NO colour edition. v3x fatfat.
i would have gone for looks over everything else, like i don't really care about functions and capability. but like v3 is SO pink. like waaay too pink. so i had doubts about it.
so i was in quite a dilemma. (plus the condition of my current phone is well, not good.)
to wait, to look for another phone, to just buy the pink v3..

and THEN.
TAADAA!!
*beams*
the motorola v3i in colour!
yaayy!! i waaant!!

but now, i've got another dilemma.
violet or maroon?
maroon is like sweeter, brighter, happier, yet mature. ;)
but on the other hand, violet is like dark, sophisticated.
still, i think both colours look elegant. :) (of course, i'm completely ignoring the blue.)
although i'm scared over time violet will depress me, seems a tad too dark. and maroon might turn bland. like uninteresting.

oh dear me.

because it was the second time.

more than a couple of times, i caught myself wondering how she/they must be feeling.
esp the kids. who were clearly less than happy.

and then there were the adults, and all their oh well, adult issues.

and my thoughts ran back to a similar event. and well, the stark contrast.

ohwells. random thoughts.

friday night rocked though. :)
di&fiza, much love to you guys!
wanted to try dim sum at the newly-halal tang tea house, but disappointingly few in variety. other option was the also newly-halal steamboat restaurant at downtown east, butbut. kinda pricey and all we wanted was to chill, not particularly looking for good food. so, we settled. but great company always makes up for it. lots of stories came out ;) basket moments, friendster moments, historical moments. howells. :) friend time always = fun time. :)
a must-do again sometime. :)

and rozzie, come back!! i can't believe HUZER is going perth, and i'm not!! i so WANT!! >(

oh and pictures. su owes me ramen ten pictures!
and yes, ramen ten sometime this week darlings? it can be like a, destress-chill-break-from-mugging-for-exams nightout? exceeeept. i kinda haven't started on the stressed, mugging for exams part. so just feeling a weee bit guilty, like i don't deserve the destress-chill-break-from-mugging-for-exams nightout. haha.

oh ya, speaking of which. i am SO glad i didn't study for the german test any harder! it was waaay tough. like i was literally sifting and scouring through the mess of information in my brain! and by the end of test, i was totally mentally tired. not just drained. but like almost physically tired. howells. and. there's another german test next thursday! wth. now then tell us. boo to you.

aaaand. the exams are iiiiin.. a week and six days.

nyeaah.

like i should feel screwed, but i don't.

i have a german SEMESTER test tomorrow. and that's like HUGE.
so i stayed in today, planned to mug all day for it, since i haven't started. (which is totally unlike me btw, but hey blame the semester, not me.)
woke up at umm eleven? breakfast-ed, all the way till two pm, watching reruns of the o.c. season 2 on thee faithful lappy. then explored microsoft publisher for the project, and whaddya know, it was 4pm already??
which meant the students were arriving. tuition class 4-6pm, followed by dinner (and another episode of the o.c.), and another class 7-9pm, and an annoying latecomer student stayed till 10+!!
so i was about to start on my german right. and marsie came online! and it's SO exciting she's going on exchange!! wheee!! :D had loooads to say to her, can't wait to meet her again and we can talk more!! i'm so going to live off her exchange experience and relive mine. ;) congratchulations sweets!! *hugs to marsie!*

so here we are. after marsie and i struggled to pull ourselves away from each other. (oh we are SO addictive, aren't we mars.) she has to study too, you know. ;)

and here i am, attempting to germanise myself! (god, that's a terrible made-up word.)
but like.
i'm not THAT screwed right.
i mean, i just got back a german project, and wheee a whopping 90 out of 100. *beams*
*hi-5 to marlini!* i think we make a suuperb team. *smug*
and i mean.
i did pretty well on most, if not all of my earlier tests and assesments right.
so.
i'm not THAT screwed right.

right right?

*crosses fingers*

p.s. wth! i just realised, as i recounted my grades for the midterms, that i have not received a single mark for my life science modules!! bloody slowpokes. HAH. that's what you get for having such a huge intake. see lah, want to take so many life science students right. amik kau ubat, padan muker haha!

Monday, April 3 | 5:43 pm

so today, i was all set to go home RIGHT after school ends to work on lsm2104 project right. msa, phylogenetic tree yada yada yada.
but i got a message at 1410h.
"baby you want to go out with me and huzer tonight?"

uhoh.

temptation.

zat is right here next to me, watching me type this entry.
"so what, he's like your kid now, you have to carry him around everywhere is it?"

HAHAHAHAHA.

Sunday, April 2 | 2:50 am

so zat took the words right out of my mouth. ;)
04 project meetings never fail to amaze, amuse and delight. hee.
zati:lameness must be like an ri trait or something.
muslim:and bimbo an rgs trait.
zati:hey! i'm not bimbo ok!
su:and i'm not from rgs..
HAHA.
there were more, oh there was definitely more CRAP.
haha.

aaand then. i had no plans for the night, and hey it was friday niiight!! i wasn't about to go home and waste a perfectly good friday night. sooo i went about trying to ask my girlfriends out. ahhaha. "soo you got many tests next week?" "yeaa i got threeee.." and my heart drops. i'm like i don't wanna come in their way of mugging!! haha. little did i know they weren't about to spend friday night mugging either! but i went ahead anyway and asked. and they were so on for a night out in town! we totally hijacked suhaila, leaving syahirah to go for that dinner and talk (by colin goh, no less.), but neither alone nor dateless. ;)

and so we ramen ten-ed. and camerawhored. but i didn't bring my camera!! :( :( :( so i had to hijack suhaila's! and she was getting a weeee bit annoyed at my constant "can i borrow your camera??" HAHA. i could so hear the relief and like the thank-god sentiment when her memory card got full! butbut. i started deleting pictures! not of hers lah of course. heh. aand ramen ten has like nice backdrops, so must take picture! i had teriyaki chicken bento with deep fried gyoza, su had (such localized) tom yam ramen, and zat seafood ramen. all yummy!! the california handrolls were ok, but not the sushi. could be better, i thought. that was actually my second time there, the other time i didn't have my camera either! had the teriyaki chicken dry ramen then, that was yummy too. :)

and then we went around far east, nobody was REALLY shopping, but all the same. 2 gorgeous dresses, 3 pairs of totally cute undies and a shrug. haha. ;) and we were too late for fried mars bar!! (although after that we found out that maaaybe it's beer batter they use, have to find out more first.) thankfully, gelare was still open. so we crashed on the couches, feet-resting and totally shagged, when syahirah called. her event for the night was ending at chijmes, and she wasn't about to hang around while the others get drunk, so we made plans to catch her at city hall, take a nice slow walk down to raffles place and then me and her smrt-ed down the east line!
but before i conclude my friday, have to freeze this moment:
i asked su a question, and before answering me, she squeezed her eyes shut.
yani: why do you do that, why did you shut your eyes?
su: oh i do that when i need to imagine something. don't you do that? like close your eyes to imagine something?
yani: (eyes look up) oh no, i don't. i look up.
su: oh to see the bubble is it? (thought bubble)
GOD, su!!

aand today, i met mars for lunch and a tudung-spree! mars miss i'm-not-really-looking-for-a-tudung-but-i'll-accompany-you-anyway who comes out with a pair of purple tudungs! hah! i got four! :D girlfriend time is always great, feel-good time! :) love you marshiiemaro!! ;)

aaand then the boyfriend picked me up for an afternoon at the beach! hehe. he prepared 2 types of sandwiches and like packed scones, but not water!!! haha. it was great fun though. :) and then dinner at al-fresco @ downtown east!

ok so now i'm totally shagged, and had plans to start on my portion for the project, wheeeeen oc episode 18 finished downloading! ;)

i hate oc episodes that don't give a satisfying feeling.
lately, marissa scenes just make me wanna cry, what with the soundtrack. this one particularly tugs at the heartstrings. anyway, it just doesn't sit right to see marissa like that. i was never a fan of hers, but like maan why is this happening? :(
although, seth and summer never fail to crack me up. that i've always loved, and can NEVER get enough of.
sadie is really sweet though. but i still feel she's in the way of like destiny. and that makes her so much more difficult to love. :(

ok toodles all!~
