YES

I have finally went to ARAB STREET with Nette today!

I wanted to go there for quite a while to get some accessories for my dance & we both ventured into the wilderness in search for cookies and candies. I finally found a store that sells hip scarves and another fabric store that sells chiffon veils for like $2.50 per metre which was like a freakin' good deal.

Another shop was selling the complete veil at $33 a pop, when I can get it at $5?

So I'm going there again on Sunday with Jess and Tinghui plus, Tinghui is gonna help us find bracelet charms! I've been meaning to make a bracelet of my own for a quite a while now, but can't find a place that sells nice charms!

I'd ask Nette but she'll be busy with work. Darn. I'm the only one not working! I feel like such a loser.

But anyway, I had a fun time with Nette today!

We bought some stuff first at Bugis, then we walked past Haji Lane and window shopped at all he clothes. And I saw this GIANT pair of wooden hoop earrings that I was instantly attracted to! Even Nette was like +_+

Shw was half expecting me to get it, but I bet it cost a bomb =(

Then we walked to Arab Street. All the store vendors were so friendly! Asking us if we wanted to eat and asking Nette about her leg wound, coz she fell down and had this nasty cut =(

We both ooed and ahhhed over the beautiful sarongs and kebayas in the stall. They were soooooo gorgeous seriously!

Then we walked to Lavender Street and ate dinner at the foodcourt. Plus, we had Belgian chocolate and waffles there which was SUPERB. Seriously the chocolate was nothing like I've ever tasted. Warm and sweet and comforting. Nette and I were both grinning so hard and foolishly at each other and we started laughing at each other =)

We made our way back at about 7-ish and parted at Kovan MRT. Darn the bus stop was crawling with big-ass ants. Seriously they had WINGS. And I was pissed because they kept flying everywhere. 1 went INSIDE the bus and landed on the window seal in front of me!!

I kept going " Stay. Away." And I tried to blow it away but it refused to budge. It just fluttered its silly wings and crawled. I was cringing and hoping as hard as hell that it wouldn't come near me.

If the bus was empty, I'd crush it like a bug with my size 8 and 1/2 shoe.

So there.

CANNOT WAIT FOR SUNDAY

I went blogshopping for 3 hours straight last night.

And my eyes are burning. Like it's really true: you never know what you're missing til you've crossed the line

And I'm proud to say that I've crossed that little ol' line. Thanks a lot Poh Shu Yun. I decided to go online to find some necklaces and I came across this site that provides link to like hundreds of blogshops and you can pick and choose whichever you want.

And so I decided to pick a few and look through em' and I was like necklace-&-earrings-&-bracelets-struck. There were soooooooo many gorgeous necklaces and earrings and bracelets of assorted colors and shapes and sizes.

So there I was sitting in front of the screen like a deer caught in front of the headlights and I was like Charlie, deciding which chocolate I should choose from fantastic Mr Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. It was a sight to behold for inexperienced little ol' me.

But the suckiest thing was that I couldn't find, ANY. big hoop earrings at all. There were only those small ones that didn't appeal to me 1 bit.

Darn it. Plus, I decided to change my blogskin yesterday afternoon and when I copied over the HTML text into the template, it came out all disfigured. My previous posts somehow vanished, and the headings were spread out to a grossly overweight size. So I edited and edited and tried to recall whatever Shoe told me about HTML texts and codes and tried again and again. BUT NOTHING WORKED.

I wasted 4 bloody hours trying to load a silly little blogskin. Then when I tried again in the evening using the same codes and texts that I used in the afternoon, it worked. Like bloody hell. I was irritated.

Mum just told me Grandma's coming from London to visit us on the 29th of August!. Whoo! Haven't seen Grandma since I was probably Sec 2. I love it everytime she comes here. She'll read me bedtime stories, even though I'm not small anymore, and tell me about how Granddad looks like - coz I've never seen him before - and she'll say " He's very tall and wears this big black spectacles and his hair has become white already! Maybe 1 day he'll be brave enough to come and visit Sue and all of you again"

Erm, yeah I don't think that's gonna happen. My aunt showed me a picture of him before though. Now I know where I got the oval shaped face from. But he has the European nose, and so does my mum and sis, which irritates me, because I got the recessive smaller Chinese nose from Daddy.

I WANT THE EUROPEAN NOSE PLEASE. Maybe when I grow older, my nose will shift and move and morph into the desired pointy nose that I yearn for.

Hey who knows, it may happen?

AND I think the stress from all the finals have made me more paranoid about my hair. Seriously I NEED to relax. "Serene, your hair WILL grow back to its usual thickness. It takes time and effort so blame that B**** of a hairdresser who couldn't differentiate between a trim and 5 inches and chopped off your maginificent crown of glory"

Waiting and waiting and waiting. Sometimes, I think that's all we ever do.

Whoo!

Exams are finally over! A weight has been lifted and I feel....free. Yeap.
It seems that many people I've asked are gonna be wroking during the holidays.
But me.
Darn it.
I feel so...useless for not intending to work.

Well I wouldn't mind working actually.
It's just that I don't know where to work and
I have lessons during the holidays since I signed for Global Citizenship
I will be flying offto Beijing on the 29th of March!
I can't wait coz the last I went to China, I was around 7 or 8 years old.

Maybe I can work like part time where I work only for a few days per week?
Hmmmm.
Any recommendations?
It'd be nice to do something useful & worthwhile actually.

But anyway after exams ended I went off to eat lunch with Jess & Linjia.
Nette had a date. Humph!
But I didn't mind =) She went skipping off when her bus came.
Missed her much during the mugging week! And we've planned to go shopping during the hols!

Okay so I went to eat with Jess and LJ at the hawker centre.
AND THEN
Jess SURPRISED me with a Barbie doll!
PLUS it was the exact same Barbie doll that I had been admriring with her when we went window shopping before the Study Week!

Seriously I was taken aback I mean I didn't expect her to buy it, and I felt upset and guilty because I didn't get her anything.
It was so nice and sweet of her!
THANK YOU JESSLYN! I LOVE IT TO THE CORE

I should ask for Barbie dolls for my birthday from now on x)

So.

It's like past 3am now.
And I'm studying PerCog after having wasted the afternoon away today.
I spent.
1 hour youtubing.
and about 2 hours "napping"
so I feel guilty for not getting in any revision done.

So I'm up and trying to read through Problem Solving.
But.
I think I shall slowly will myself
to succumb to fatigue.

Am chatting with Muying online also
studying Problem Solving as well.
and.
she's a self-acclaimed nocturnal.

I keep "hearing voices" outside in the living room.
I know.
I'm paranoid.
But its dark and 3.15am right now.
And.
I'm scared of the dark.
But Bobby is here with me x)

Darn it.
PhysioPsych.
not completed revision.
right. just finish this chapter first.
and I can plonk on my comfortable bed
& hug my squishy bolster.

I/O exam - finished. I shall not say anything about it, coz I don't wanna jinx it.



Was youtubing and watching a drama called Hospital Central, a Spanish version of E.R and there is this GORGEOUS GORGEOUS guy. I went to google him to find a picture but couldn't find anything, so I went to Yahoo! International and went to Spain. Dang I had a hard time reading all the stuff there.




BUT I HAVE MANAGED TO PROCLAIM 2 PHOTOS OF HIM.













Ladies and gentlemen. This. is Mr Ivan Sanchez. Isn't he a sight to behold? Oh my gosh I was INSTANTLY attracted to him, especially that nose of his! People like feet, so I like noses. Coolness. AND this guy's a model! Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. I shall now search for more pictures of him.

Well blow me down. Just got my I/O CA grade, and I am officially depressed.

It has sucked out my motivation to study, and faith that I can do well.

Can I just say, its not fair?

Coz, the whole grading system for I/O is weird.

Like.

We're not even familiar with case studies,

and.

we're forced.

to complete like 4 of em for the test?

And

I had no time to finish it.

And.

many who did finish it

got like what 20-ish?

And

It's like

wth

coz 14/25 is just depressing and screwed up?

Then.

Yumei and I were complaining about the injustice

of our I/O grades, coz we got the same,

and how the grading system has gone bonkers,

because its just a tad unfair.

And Yumei calculated

that we would need to get

a crazy high mark, to get a B grade for finals,

and I was like

+_+

I.
am.
so.
freaking.
depressed.
now.
and.
I.
shall.
watch.
Bollywood.
to.
cheer.
me.
up.
now.

Good.
Bye,
Cruel.
World.

Its my prerogative to say that our education system is screwed up and disgusting and downright unfair.

Friday --> inevitable & unfair I/O exam
Someone please STAB me in my gut and save me from the horrors of finals.

GOD i think something is like wrong with my phone.

Zack just asked me why I sent him an expletive message on Monday morning, and I was like " !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

Because seriously I so did not send it, AND I so do not do retarded crap like that. I must have been PMSing or something because once Zack said that, tears started welling up and I was seriously going to cry.

I mean I was really afraid that he'd hold it against me . Plus I was getting ready to defend myself because honest to God, I do not, do gross things like that.

It's so unsophisticated & unfeminine --> so NAWT my style !

BUT lucky he didn't! He was like "It's okay. I know you don't do things like that, I trust you!"

WHEW. For a moment, I thought I would have lost a funny friend!

BUT how come "I" even sent a message like that in the first place? I was sleeping when he mentioned the time I sent it to him. Maybe it's my brother who decided he wanted justice after ratting out on him?

Or my mum?

Damn it!

I'm sooooo never going to forget this like til the day I fly off to America.

I hope Zack won't remember a thing about it. Because. I'm a paranoid person and I'll be really hurt if anyone breaks our friendship because of some alleged action.

But Zack doesn't hold it against me. So, I. AM. RELIEVED. i think.




ZHI SHEN IF YOU'RE READING THIS, THANKS FOR TRUSTING AND AND FORGIVING ME & BELIEVING ME, BECAUSE I WOULD NEVER SEND CRAP PIG-ASS MESSAGES LIKE THAT TO A FRIEND AND I'LL KILL WHOEVER DID DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE, IF I EVER DO FIND OUT.

thank you God, for blessing me with such good and blessed friends who believe in me! You are my Father and You watch over me =)
