the exams are officially over for me... but it didnt end on a particularly good note... people dunnoe how to do... i also dunnoe how to do... people know how to do... i STILL dunnoe how to do... very sad... but it's the truth... i thought i could jump over qn3 and get back in time to input a couple of lines... thought it would be alright coz it looks really cheem and maybe everybody finds it so too.. did NOT! oh well... but this period is particularly dampening... because i can honestly say i put in a darn lot of effort into this semester... i blardy studied with YXY lar! YXY leh! and it looks like i wouldnt get results to show it... which is sad... and disappointing... at least it's over... and i had a great time with the girlfriends... met Stella at science... before heading over to Cafe Rosso... where we met up with Melissa...  they have really pretty cakes and nice tea coffee to go along with... i had the Banana Pan-Pudding... which is like banana baked into bread with a nice drizzle of syrup and chocolate... topped with a dollop of vanilla ice cream... while the ladies had a cake and tea/latte... portions are small... but they're pretty sinful and rather gratifying at that... the nice lady who served us was polite... and didnt give us dirty looks when we downed glass after glass of their iced water... with lotsa fresh lemons in the flask... we finally decided to give the nice lady a break from filling up our glasses like every 5 mins... and headed to town on bus 7... decided on Wheelock's Fish and Co... coz the fish there is unlike their other outlets... damn nice lar! on the recommendation of Stella... we ordered the Mussels... a Cream of Asparagus... a New York Fish and Chips... and the essential Seafood Platter for One... couldnt finish them all... ate as we talked... talked as we ate... never realised how much i really missed them... thoroughly enjoyed myself... and i think they did too... there's nothing quite like getting together with your girlfriends... catching up... remembering old times... talking about our other halves... just so therapeutical... did a round in Borders... where i was stuck with this giant book of Calvin and Hobbes comics... a set of 3 that cost 150USD... christmas is coming, anyone? while the girls went to the ladies.. whoever said we were at Borders for books... contemplated getting the Potter-hardcover/sore-thumb for the guy... but he decided against it... Melissa went off to the driving range with her guy.... yes... she's probably the most tai-tai material/potential of us three... while Stella and i moved on to Far East... where i couldnt button up a jacket that was freaking size L... when i thought i lost weight... and saw pretty shoes and stuff... need to go shopping someday... without the shops closing down on me like today... decided against popping by the guy's place on the pretext of saying Hi... since his place is like 7 mins from town... with the true purpose being getting him to send me back in the nice purple car... i thought i should try to be more... less dependent/spoilt/ridiculous... so i made my own way back in the MRT... and the bus to PGP... where i got ambushed by the rain... the bunch of us alighted from the bus to a heavy bout of rain... the wind was blowing pretty bad... so we were all relegated to the back of the bus stop... with our backs facing the road... i ventured a peep at everyone else... and two things came to my mind... 1. we look like we're being punished... for not studying hard enough... and therefore failing the exams... 2. we all look like we were peeing into the bushes... guys and girls alike... i was on the verge of suggesting sharing a cab into PGP... but it was dumb... it will probably cost us like $2.60... and i didnt want to sound dumb... waited a bit till the rain slowed to a nice pitter-patter... before walking out and realising, "hey...it's quite nice and romantic afterall..." until... it started to POUR... and when i say POUR.... i mean P-O-U-R with 4 capital letters... like the Grohe taps... if it pours... Grohe reigns... i loved that ad... back to the pouring... yes... water was flowing down the slopes like waterfall... i was sliding off the surface of my dainty sandals... yes... the black thin strapped one... it brought a whole new dimension to the term luo tang ji... or drenched chicken, if you please... i never felt so miserable in my life... especially after thinking what a romantically nice drizzle it started out as... i felt so cheated... like having a perfect guy bring you out on a nice date... only for you to find out he's gay... not that it happened... just figurative ya? oh well... at least i have 3 Subway cookies to enjoy while i wait for my hair to dry and plonk into bed.. ----Stef stopped rambling at 00:24 --Link to Post |
