so much for a week..
kinda sad that i'm stuck in hall on a sat afternoon..sitting in front of my com and blogging while waiting for my porridge to be cooked. this time round, i chose to stay back in hall over the weekend, in preparation for this coming tut's 304 quiz. of course, i can always go back home and mug..but i figured i'll probably be glued in front of the tv 24-7. and it's also time to consolidate and prepare all my notes and draw up a examination plan. so much time has been spent on fyp such that all my tut work have been in a mess. very lost for 306 and tax..haiz..guess this is the weekend much needed for me to come to terms wif my own studious self once again.
at the exact same time last sat, me and von were happily printing our final report for fyp. spent $20 in printing...thank god there were 3 of us to cover the cost, can't imagine how the engine students feel.when we got back to hall, it was a mad rush but a happy one =) need to bathe, pack my stuff and doll myself up for my buddy's wedding. sat on the train from one end of spre to the other --> boon lay to pasir ris!! the wedding was held at ananda country club.
it was glad meeting up wif old frenz..my previous colleagues at giordano. sad to say, all of them had already left the company. one working as an art teacher, one at soo kee, one at courts, one as logistics officer and the bride herself is happily shaking leg at home. hahaha..
fyi the bride is the same age as me!! kinda young to get married @ 22 eh?
'we r both ready to settle down' that's the reason given by her. so wat exactly do we mean by ready? financially ready? enuff $$ to get a house? emotionally ready to spend the remaining part of ur life wif another person? we all know that it's not that easy to factor someone else into our lives..but life is all about a gamble. but of course, u can do enuff homework and preparation to make sure that u do not suffer loss. u never know the results or consequences until u take a step out of ur own comfort zone. who knows, the rewards may be plentiful. but i admire her for her courage..CONGRATS!!
the next day was spent slacking at home, watching tv and catching up on my beauty sleep. back in hall on sun nite and this marked the start of my drama marathon!!
first, i watched mallpisode, followed by my 20 episodes korean drama- days in bali. i have actually watched that on scv b4 but missed a couple of episodes. so i spent 32.90 and bought the entire series. crazy rite? and i skipped my 306 class juz to complete watching it!! arrgghhh..jo in sung is soo cute!!! hahaha...and ha ji won too..so prettty..but it ended sadly..some might say..wat's new? korean dramas always have sad endings..but this one is diff..it's not the typical one where evil stepsister and step mom torture the poor girl or where the protagonist contracted some terminal disease. this is about sacrificing for love..for more info..look for me and i'll gladly lend you my vcds..trying to make my buy a worthwile one...hahaha
wed nite was spent clubbing wif the girls. it was fun...and for the first time, i actually danced on a platform (that was becoz i was terribly high!!) and guess wat? i puked on the bar!! yucks!!! but it's juz a gulp la..not one huge puddle..but still, so ungracious. i'm not going back to double o for at least the next 3 months!! too embarrassed to face the bartender. he has to clear away the puke!
tat nite, i realised that i am someone wif high level of self control. it was supposed to be a nite of fun..getting high and dancing away..but i was unable to bring myself to dance wif other guys. we all know that wat happens in the club stays in the club..but as i watched my girlfriends dancing away wif other guys, a part of me wanna try and experience how it feels, but there's this holding voice inside me...which kinda stopped me from doing it. 'go and have some fun!! and for once stop thinking about XXX!!' there was this instance where i was dancing wif this guy at zouk..but after like 10s? i turned my back to him. it was juz weird being at such a close proximity wif a guy who was not my bf and i dun even know him!! i'm amazed at my own threshold level..rem, i was high..very high!! i drank 9 breezer shooters, 1 vodka redbull, 1 vodka orange and 2 vodka cranberries.
i'm definitely not judging my frenz for their actions..they certainly were aware and responsible for their own actions. afterall, it was supposed to be a nite of fun. it's juz that...i'm wondering why am i not able to do wat they r doing? why was that inner voice and force so strong? perhaps i'm juz too serious a person...maybe too timid of bumping into familiar faces? this issue bugged me for a few nitez..and truthfully, i felt guilty for that 10s of dancing wif a stranger. and i'm thinking how should i tell him...wonder what will his reactions be...maybe i shouldn't even let him know...haha *sneaky*
thurs afternoon was spent tanning wif jean at sentosa..though it was short, but it was surely fun!! after which, i decided to pamper myself by having my eyebrows plucked by professionals! felt really good..though painful. why muz i pay to make myself suffer? guess this is the price of vanity.
final yr nite was cool..very much better than what we did last yr..*applause to shui cai and company* we could see that much effort has been put in, the videos, personalised gifts etc. and i haven't seen a good geyao performance for a long time!! kudos to the singers and keyboardist!! as usual, memories of my 2.5 years in hall flashed thru my mind..esp when we were watching the last video clip...it's all coming to an end..a little too soon though..and time to face the challenges out in the working world..
