[[ izzy ]] ---------He loves Lucy. But Lucy loves cakes...* says: feel free to give my number to your brother [[ izzy ]] ---------He loves Lucy. But Lucy loves cakes...* says: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ___crystaaal* says: OMG ARE YOU HITTING ON HIM?! meanwhile... >huiwen:: says: let's play tennis some time! ___crystaaal* says: i got no balls! >huiwen:: says: -.- u got no balls, coz u have boobs >huiwen:: says:oops I have a paedophile and a pervert for a friend! PS. my brother is only 13 years old this year. I realised that having Jasmine on the same shift with me for our job makes things less monotonous cos I have something to laugh at. A few days ago, Jasmine got promoted to Level 2 (Not because she's a more efficient worker than me, but because they ran out of phone on Level 1). Unable to laugh at each other's faces, we proceeded to sms each other. Below is a snippet of our sms conversation (as accurate as I can remember it to be) Jas: What the freak! I am on the education department now!! and there is this bitch in my dept! Me: hahahaha. That sucks. Jasmine, I'm going to die calling up people. 3 more hours!! Jas: Jasmine is a chinese name. I am a malay grandmother alrdy! Me: HUH? I don't understand what you're talking about! what malay grandmother. You call people call until sok already is it! Jas did not reply. An hour later... Me: HELLO! I am in the toilet peeing now and here got a lot of reception leh! : DDD Why you never reply me!!! Jas: I told you I am a malay grandmother! Me: WTH ARE YOU SAYING! your joke is not funny! Anyway, there is this... ....(some nonsense about the job) And I recieved no reply, much to my dismay. The it was 1.30pm, time to knock off. Since Jasmine was on Level 2, I had to wait for her to come down to find me. (However, what I didn't know was that she was waiting for me upstairs to PICK HER UP -.- you think childcare ah! so old still must people pick you up!!) I waited and waited and waited (okay lah only 10 minutes) So I decided to phone her. Me: Hello Jasmine? (But no, it wasn't Jasmine who answered. It was Malay Grandmother.) Malay Grandmother: NO JASMINE NO JASMINE! I TOLD YOU I AM A MALAY GRANDMOTHER ALREADY!! -stunned silence- Me: Oh. I'm sorry!! I've got the wrong number. (Was so embarassed I nearly died) Malay Grandmother: YES I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU SO MANY TIMES! Then we hung up. WOW. I JUST SPEND THE PAST 3 HOURS SMSING A MALAY GRANDMOTHER, WHOM I THOUGHT WAS JASMINE. and I messaged things like "Hello I am in the toilet peeing now!" What the hell?! After being enlightened, I was so embarassed I just stood there stunned for a minute. To my defence, she did not "try to tell me so many times"!!! She could have just messaged back WRONG NUMBER. But not once did she say the 2 words, which could have stopped me making a fool out of myself!! I bet she was very entertained by my smses. After that, Jasmine and I went to PS to meet Huiwen for lunch, and was joint by Jiahui later. We went to the arcade (we felt very out of place there) to pass some time. Most entertaining was the shooting basketball hoops where everyone, (okay, me only) started screaming incoherently into everyone's ears. When I first tried out the shooting hoops with Jasmine (Wendy and JH were dancing away at the Para Para. haha Dancing seems to be quite an optimistic word. Floundering?), all the balls flew everywhere but into the hoop. My first ball bounced onto the metal rim and flew off into some random direction in the arcade. Meanwhile, while I was trying to look cool and retrieve the ball at the same time, Jasmine's ball somehow ended on top of the machine and was impossible to reach. We shrugged and continued throwing more balls all over the place. Proceeded to Cine since all of us wanted to play the hand hockey very badly, and blew off more money there. I am really really broke right now. Today, I had another shift with Jasmine. Seemed that everyone in the office ( that means a total of 4 people, including me btw) was in a rather festive mood. In my dinghy little corner, I managed to hear about various gossips and learn about office politics. 1. There is a bitch named Sha___ (Jasmine will let you know about her) 2. YH is getting married (All 3 of them were looking at bridal magazines, while I was shaking legs at my computer desk) 3. Jen______ is resigning. (Possibly because of Sha___? 0.o) Apparently, there is this flower arrangement thing which can be arranged into somebody's face. H: eh so unique leh! Oh but if the flowers start shrivelling up, doesn't it mean your face will become crumpled? I got so amused I started snorting to myself at the computer. Oh and this too. Jasmine was telling me since I was not on shift that day H was saying to Jasmine: Hey Jasmine, have a break! (hands her chocolate) But it's not Kitkat! I imagined Jasmine's face in response and couldn't stop laughing for 5 minutes. PROM DAZZLE 07 PART 2! (Warning: Picture and content intensive!) The best class anyone could be in: 408 '07!!
Yeah, they say a picture paints a thousand words. I tell you, this scenario does not happen in real life at all. Yumin bullies me so much I feel like smacking her half the time. (The blood splat on the wall behind is kind of disturbing though)
Don't ask me what she's doing hahaha
Okay lah, put a chio pic for you! : DD Even though you are always so mean to me, you know I love you hahahha
I told Jiahui, "Eh, look like father daughter picture right!!" Jiahui said, "No?! LOOK LIKE COUPLE HAHAHAHAHAH", which was totally gross to say the least. Even though I know Yunting and Pingfang will disagree... ...
...and that's Wendy in the background looking jealous of me surrounded by 2 black beauties! OMG I did not just type that. (She thinks it is an ANTM-worthy pose, by the way)
Okay, you guys. I will NEVER forget you for all the fun times we shared, no matter how surrounded by bamboo we are. Glad to make it out alive!! : D I'm wondering why didn't the mirror fog up? 'Cos we're smokin' and everything. HAHAHAH. I'm so funny I know!! Presenting Peiting, Chang E's fraternal twin (or so she insists and okay, I grudgingly agree) and me!
Sorry, I just had to insert another 2 photowhoring pictures! hahahaha. Jiahui always disappears mysteriously during our photowhoring sessions! Never seen before exclusive photos! (I am putting them up at my own risk.) AND AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL IS... ... WENDY WONG!!! CHEERS AND HOOTS.
Okay, don't get mad. I put up your favourite picture for you!
Hope you like this especially good looking picture of you, while I just look like a starfish beside you -.- SHOUTOUTS! Pictures aside, prom was certainly an experience! 408 IS the greatest class I've been in so far. During our sleepover, Jiahui, Jas and I were talking. Jiahui said, (something like that) " For Chinese O levels, our class mugged like crazy! It's so quiet in class!" Jas and I looked at each other (you can imagine Jasmine's open mouthed expression at this point), then Jas replied "Wah, you should come our class. Everyday party like that." Even though we are just so whatever abourrit over these things, we do scrape by some how. If you go surf other 408er's blog, I'm sure they've already said it all and I can't help but agree to everything. We've been a hell of a class, going all out for the most mundane stuff like RBD and giving our fullest for class events. (I think we're the first class which actually COMES back to school to prep for such events and order macdonald's into class at the same time). I will really really miss 408 (especially our culture where everyone can hang out with everyone) and I will never forget you guys! I would continue to blog some more about this amazing class but then I think everyone would end up in tears soon. (Yes, I think I am a very motivational writer hahaha) I would have a individual shout out to each one of you, but... I think I need to move on with life else this post would never end. Nonetheless, look out in your mailboxes! : D Zhixian rocked during her performance. I didn't know she could put on such an amazing performance. All of us were pinning our hopes on her to win because she was just so good! Picture taking time wasn't enough and I am regretful to say that I have only taken about 80 pictures. Cabbed home with Jasmine and Jiahui back to place. I had the best time of my life removing waterproof mascara with water and eyeliner drawn to deep into my eye I though they were part of my eyeball. Too bad we didn't have the correct type of mascara remover. I think my mum spent about an hour trying to help me remove all the junk from our face. By the time I was done, I could make countless wishes with all my fallen lashes. I think if this goes, I will not have any more lashes left to put mascara on next time. And even though I don't say it to my mum (You know I'm just not the "I LOVE YOU MUMMY" type of person), I really appreciate what she does for me. Like on prom, sending the me and the 2 losers to Face Bistro, back to our house cos we're too early, (I know she feels pain for the petrol) and then to Meritus Mandarin again. Plus I know she waited for us on purpose to get back and didn't sleep until 2am helping me remove make up. The next day while Jiahui, Jas and I left for school, I know I'll come back to a mopped and vaccummed room with new and nice smelling (ahem, Wendy) bedsheets, and I did. Also, my aunt, who took leave on purpose just to help me shop for a dress. I was grumbling even more than my shopping companions who just trudged on and on, determined to find me the perfect dress while I was ready to go to prom in a box. I think I'm quite lucky, yeah : D TRIPLE LOSERS (yes, thanks to Jasmine, everyone already knows what we call ourselves after Sam left us. Sam, are you reading this??), it was a fun afternoon prepping with you guys! WE MUST DO IT AGAIN DURING JC OKAY! : D By the way, we need to have a change of name. Yup, and that ends my long winded blog post on prom! I congratulate those who did not skip a word and actually got through to the end!! PROM DAZZLE 07 (Be warned: Part 1 will be content heavy!) PART 1: PRE PROM PREPARATION Before I set off to meet Huiwen at Westmall for lunch at 12 ( and also to buy food later for our sleepover. In the end, Jasmine ended up the only one devouring all the Lays), my phone conveniently died on me. Not just any random day where I'm going to slack my butt off at home, but a day where I kind of need my phone the entire day for contacting people like Jiahui, who will and always be late her whole life. Jabbing it ferverently, I came to a conclusion that technology just hates me (my laptop is still down for repair, my new hard drive refusing to cooperate with my laopok computer and my computer is STILL stuck to my table for god knows what reason). The entire screen just went blank and refuses to work no matter how many times I take out and reinsert the SIM card, no matter how many times I switched it on and off. Distraught and heartbroken, I was reduced to using my dad's antique phone from the dinosaur era, while awaiting the arrival of my Bronze Nokia 6500 classic. (Unfortunately the Bronze version hasn't been launched yet, so I'm still with Dino Phone for the time being. To top it all off, I LOST ALL MY CONTACTS since I must have cleverly saved them in my phone instead of SIM card ): But then again, I hardly sms half the numbers I have in my phone 0.o ) Took a bus back to my place where we photowhored, before meeting Jiahui down at the bus stop. She was supposed to take Bus 106 from Clementi MRT station. Go to the exit at the left after you get out of the gates to get to th bus stop. Instructions crystal clear right? But no, we received frantic phone calls from Hwee here, screaming into my ears that there IS no bus 106 even though she is at the right bus stop. I have been taking bus 106 from the exact same bus stop for 2 years and now she is telling me that that particular bus does not exist. After getting her on the right bus, once again we received another phone call from her, yelling into my ear that she does not know where to alight. I guess my jumping up and down outside the side gate of my condo must have captured her attention (and maybe all the passengers on the bus ) as she so helpfully informed me. So she reached my house safe and sound after her long expedition.. and we photowhored and photewhored. Dressing up was a total frenzy, with my mum's continuous yelling that we are going to be late for our appointment at FaceBistro and that we need to have time management. (Guess we can see that time management during CLE lessons wasn't exactly very useful). Well, granted the appointment was at 3pm, and at 2.30pm we were still at home fixing our get-up, I guess we were running a little late (thanks to photowhoring). Putting on make-up, especially the eye lash curler and eye liner was hell (but it was nothing trying to remove water proof mascara with water after prom). My camel lashes refuse to curl, so the makeup artist kept kiaping and kiaping my lashes until my eyes turned red. The eye liner was drawn to close to my eyeballs, my eyes were watering like a fountain already. Next was hair, then nails. Everything was supposed to be done in 3 hours, but then we ran aheard of schedule and finsihed at 5pm. We were supposed to be at Meritus Mandarin at 6.15pm and getting there did not take 1 hour and 15 minutes. So my mum sent us home for another photowhoring session. LO AND BEHOLD, BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES! (Cliche, I know, but I can't help it hahah sorry about the lousy resolution, since those are all taken from webcam whoops)
Jiahui is not in the above picture because, as usual, she hasn't arrived yet. So I managed to get another one of her glam moments. (She was role playing with Teddy btw) From Dowdy Duo + Jiahui to...
SMOKIN' SENSATION. (okay, I know Jasmine and Peiting are laughing their asses off right now. Let me live in self denial for a day all right?!)
Stay tuned for part 2! and I have no idea why, but blogger refuses to space in the earlier part-.- and it's getting on my nerves! I have loads and loads of things to blog about! Prom, my first two days of work... and other equally random things like "The Handphone Hulabaloo" and "Fever Fiasco". Will blog about them soon, so stay tuned for updates! Prom post will come after I actually upload all my pictures! But first things first, today's post will be about my job! DAY 1 BORING. That just sums up what it felt on my first day. I mean, when they said "calling dormant members of the association and other administrative work", I didn't think it would be calling up hundreds and thousands of people, saying the exact same thing over and over again. So I learnt to work the office telephone, which had about 12 lines, Hold, Transfer etc.. It was quite an experience, because I pressed the wrong button once and ended up intercomming the entire building. Yeah, I press ONE button by mistake and suddenly the whole office was filled with ringing. I am just waaaay cool, I know. And there it is: Embarrassment #1. For the 4 hours, I was treated to James Bond tunes while waiting for the phone to be picked up (Most popular was Cai Min Yo's Wo Ke Yi. I can even sing it for you now.) I don't get why people waste money to get personalised ringing, when you yourself can't even hear the song you choose to replace to mundane ringing. There was one memorable phone call though. The person whom I was supposed to phone was named Kimberly Low. MISTER Kimberley Low. Hmm, I thought, must be a typo! Has to be either Ms, Mrs or Mdm right? So, instead of a ringing tone after I dialled, I was listening to S.H.Es Superstar. Of course, guaranteed to be female. Or so I assumed. me: Hello, may I speak to Ms Low please? (Okay, that was just a guess but at least it was better than getting the gender wrong right?) BUT NO. I had to get the gender wrong. KL: Uh. This is Mr Low speaking, not Ms. AWKWARD SILENCE. MISTER?! WHY IS THE NAME KIMBERLEY THEN? The name isn't even unisexual, RIGHT?! So there goes Embarassment #2. Then there was this other call which totally had me hanging my mouth open. me: Hello, may I speak to Mr Steven Tan please? ST: Speaking. Who is this calling? me: This is Crystal calling from IFPAS- ST: WHERE?? me: Insurance and Financial Practitioners Association of Singapore- ST: I AM VERY STRESSED RIGHT NOW I AM IN NO MOOD TO TALK ABOUT THIS. I AM VERY VERY VERY BUSY AND I AM WITH MY CLIENT NOW. PLEASE DON'T CALL ME NOW. I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS WHEN I AM STRESSED... ... ... ( and on and on he went. I couldn't even get a word in to apologise. BUT WHY SHOULD I APOLOGISE ANYWAY) AND THEN HE HUNG UP. I hate it when people hang up on me!! Okay, so he is stressed and about to get a nervous breakdown. But I think I should be treated to SOME respect instead of some random person he can vent his anger on?! Even if I called at a bad time, he could have told me to call back later and then hang up. That wouldn't have been so bad compared to ranting and then hanging up on me. Gee, some people just got to get a clue. DAY 2 Day 2 was more amusing, since I had Jasmine with me to laugh Watching her fumble around with the telephone brightened up the otherwise dull 4 hours. When the line which you are using flashes and starts blinking, it means you have an incoming call and need to answer it. (I guess some people actually do phone back when you can't get through them at first!) Jasmine, after prompting, would realised her line is flashing. By the time she answers it, someone else in the office would have already done so.
This was how Jasmine looked when she couldn't answer the call in time. She would be all flustered and uncoordinated, with the phone lighting up red like a fire engine. Then give her trademark expressions (you can view them on 408's class video) It was a valiant effort on my part to keep myself from rolling on the floor. I hope we get more shifts together : DD
So I went to look. Alas, all there was to it was this sad looking lone cup which was something about some golf tournament. Guess his trophy did not warrant an important place in any glass cabinet whatsoever and there was no name on it -.-
Sucker Koh came over to my place to tan today. In the end, tanning session failed because it wasn't even sunny at all. HAHA. So we ended up talking crap in my room and doing some vocab quiz to donate rice to Africa or something. (PF was extremely amazed at my wide range of vocab even though I guessed half of it and pretended to what I was doing) It's a good way to kill boredom and learn new words and save the people from hunger! : D http://www.freerice.com/index.php, in case you are curious. And because PF was no longer entertaining me, I was left to my own devices, so best way to pass time is to sleep! At that point when I was about to doze off already, MY MUM HAD TO BURST IN THE ROOM LIKE A RAMPAGING BULL. Mum: eh, who's bag is it on the floor? (It was Jasmine's night stuff in her bag) me: (who was rudely awaken but still pretending to be asleep. So I ignored her and added a snore or two for good measure. Kidding.) ... Mum: (who for some reason just cannot be ignored) OI. me: MY FRIEND'S LAR. She's coming over tomorrow night. NOW WHY MUST YOU WAKE ME UP !@#$%^&*()!!! Mum: I want you to read your horoscope!! (LIKE WTH !@#$&* OF ALL THE THINGS IN THE WORLD?!) HELLO?! If she didn't know I was asleep and come rampaging in my room, fine. but she KNEW I was sleeping (okay or maybe she knew I was faking but I still think that I am a very accomplished actress) since I was facing the door with my eyes close. I don't get why she must wake me up!! TO READ A HOROSCOPE FOR 2008, NO LESS. and she will often grumble to me that I "always close and open the door very loudly when she is asleep and that it is very noisy". (How I open the door loudly is beyond me) At least I don't do it on purpose, unlike her, WHO WOKE ME UP FOR SOME STUPID REASON KNOWING FULL WELL THAT I AM (OR TRYING TO) SLEEPING. If it were a good horoscope, fine. BUT NO. My sleep was interrupted for "Be careful of illnesses that strike suddenly, for example heart attacks and strokes" and "There are more betrayals and back-stabbings this year" WOW. What a way to start the year with! Okay, at least I will have "a fantastic love life!" -.- Went to the library after she left in a failed attempt to "intellectualise" myself. But woe betide me! Instead of borrowing books with content (like the Jodi Picoult books I am dying to read but the library just does not have), I ended up borrowing chick lits like Gossip Girl which will do no good to my rotting brain. If I continue reading them, I will become a bimbo soon. Later, my mum insisted that I go down and help her wash the car. I would have agreed, but too bad I've already showered so I'm not getting myself dirtied again! She's washing the car only because the other 2 losers are coming over tomorrow and she needs to send us to Face Bistro and to Meiritus Mandarin. But the thing is, they are probably used to dirtiness more so than me!! (okay, they said that they live in Dust Bunny Paradise themselves, or something along the lines of that) -.- Seriously. Yep, and this marks the end of today! I am so bored now I think I will go and donate some rice to the hungry people. Toodles! UPDATE: OMG WTH #$%^&*9 MY COMPUTER IS STUCK TO MY TABLE!!! Stuck as in glued, cannot be moved kind of permanently stuck. Just yesterday I lifted my com up to wipe the bottom of it with a wet cloth (I spring cleaned yesterday and I found a dead fly in my pencil holder. Gross with a capital G, alright) I think I must have triggered some kind of chemical reaction between my com and the table. I can't move the com at all now. I even tried prying it apart with a pair of scissors, but no go. If only my brain was stuck to my head so permanently, then I wouldn't have a problem during school 0.o Someone help me please? ): I don't know why, but I think I won't be feeling very sad during prom 0.o I think I have all my emotions wired wrong. But prom matters aside, I will miss 408 loads and loads! Just finished laughing my ass off to the computer as I watch videos of us pole dancing, acting like a dinosaur, acting like liwei, screaming our heads off and doing other stupid things that we'll hardly get to do next time. It's good to be young. 17 is really old! Just 3 years shy of 20!!! (and I still don't know what to do with my life) Corny as it sounds, I think these memories will always remain with me. Aw. Can't wait to see you guys on Monday! ----- Met Huiwen at Lavander who was nice enough to accompany me to the ICA to make my IC (horrible picture, $100 bucks gone just like that). I think the cost of replacing my lost wallet will shoot right up to 200 bucks. The pain is just too great to relive. I shall just leave it at that. Meanwhile, we just hung around marina, where I got my new wallet : D and I'm officially in love with Gelare's waffles! I hope my new job can help me settle all my debts. My mum refusing to give me pocket money as she says it's the holidays is not helping matters. I bring "in the red" to a new height, seriously. Kudos to Huiwen who treated me bubble tea seeing that I am broke from all the IC replacing and EZ link card making and wallet buying and condo card replacing and.. I am just too depressed to go on. Oh right, I still owe her about 20 bucks. Consider this as my birthday present in advance? : D Later on, we made roses in the food court. What can I say, teaching people how to make roses is fun! I should just open a course on rose making lol.
Class chalet was quite fun and to put it nicely, cozy. 20+ people squished into one room about half the size of a normal classroom was quite a feat. First day was grocery shopping and then watching loads of movies. The movie, Identity, kept everyone screaming at every gory scene. When a shadow appears, SCREAM. When the decapitated head is lolling in the washing machine, SHRIEK. When the dead body falls out of the freezer, SQUEAL. Watched Blades of Glory next, Pingfang's favourite gay show. Everyone (or those who were awake) were extremely entertaind by The Grabbing of the Balls of the 2 Male Protagonists. Later on, I was already falling asleep at the next movie, but Qiuping just had to scream "OMG?! She's not even wearing her bra!!" That jolted me awake and I opened my eyes to see the woman doing god knows what on the guy, with her boobs filling half the tv screen. Note to self: Must check movie ratings before popping it into the dvd player. 20 over people attempting to sleep in the same tiny room is not a good idea. Noone could sleep, so half of them went out the entire night, and the next morning, the other half went to macs and let the rest get some rest. Highlights of day 2 were cycling to White Sands and steam boating. And I digress. This was something Claire said. The subject was on brothers. Claire: Does your brother have a girlfriend? Me: NO?! (I'm sorry, but the thought of him having a girlfriend now is a bit repulsive) Claire: Oh, so you are the only woman in his life? HAHA WTH. That just sounds wrong. Me: NO?! I'm just an irritant in his life. My mum is the only woman in his life. Okay, this marks the end of 408's chalet. ( Oh and unlike someone who says "I LOVE YOU 408! I KNOW I SAY A LOT OF TIMES ALREADY, BUT I REALLY LOVE YOU ALL! ( and when everyone stones) YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO SAY I LOVE YOU BACK!!!" all the time, I actually went and did something for the class! After, 4 hours of cutting, pasting, ribboning and re-doing, I finished 408's gift : D and I'm very pleased with it! It's looking so pretty sitting on my bed I think I might just keep it for myself. ) This sms exchange between Qingyun and her mum greatly amuses me. Qingyun: Mummy, can I eat dinner out Mum: No, you eat out too many times already Qingyun: Where got. Mum: Got. Ask Crystal. whoops? And the other time while we were eating lunch, Qingyun was shaking (haha I have no idea what word to use) the pot of cheese. Qingyun: -shakes the pot of cheese voilently onto her plate of spaghetti- eh, why so light ah? So she looks down to see her an entire mountain of cheese on her plate of spaghetti. When I say mountain, I mean it. The pile of cheese was about 5 cm tall. Normal people when encountering this situation, would calmly ladle all the extra cheese off the plate, however, she thought she'd save face by mixing the 5cm moutain of cheese into her plate of spaghetti. It wasn't spaghetti already after that. It was Unindentified Yellow Object with Yellow Globules. The waitress came with another dish we ordered, and said "Enjoy your- uhm. meal." The pregnant pause was when she saw the plate of Unindentified Yellow Object with Yellow Globules. LOL. It's been one hell of a week. Been wanting to blog since eons ago but just haven't gotten down to doing it. I intended to study chinese so much that I would have thought I've been to China and come back But sadly, the only chinese thing I did was to use chopsticks. Oh wait, I don't even eat dinner with chopsticks! I use fork and spoon. Wow, that really captures the scope of things doesn't it. After O's, 14 of us went to Fish&Co. with a cake for Claire's birthday, which was the day before. So we celebrated Claire's birthday Fish&Co. style. It was super hilarious. We were all so shocked when they made us stand on the chair and Claire stand on the table, holding a cake. Then, the entire crew burst into some Fish&Co. cheer that went something like "hoohaa Fish&Co." and started clapping to some beat in unison. We were laughing so badly on our chairs (yes, the other customers were staring on with amusement) that I was so scared I would just fall. I am known for my extraordinary sense of balance, yes. Read Jasmine or Peiting or Yunting's blog for a detailed blogpost! So next time when you'd like to celebrate someone's birthday, or shock them, just bring them down to Fish&Co. I quote Peiting, "It's the first time I've ever been so pleased to pay for GST." Their service is really worth paying for! I shall not decribe the events in excruciating detail on Thursday. Case in point: All of you should go to the police station at least once in your life to make a police report. It was an enriching experience -.- Friday was farewell and prom dress shopping. I had to cut photowhoring short to meet my mum and aunt at Marina Sq. , but after 3 hours, we left for Orchard. Farewell wasn't really emotional. It still feels that we're going back to RG next year or something. Reality still hasn't sunk in, so I shall leave all the mushy dedications til prom, which I think I will be in a bawling mess. When everyone saw Yumin and I climbed over to the parapet, they all followed! HAHA Chiomin, we are trend setters! : DDD People, send me pictures!! It must have been some record, but I managed to get my dress, shoes, accessories and bag all in one day. 6 hours to be exact, of non-stop walking and changing and trying of clothes. The only time I stopped to rest was when I was trying on shoes. My legs nearly broke but I'm not complaining since I managed to get everything. (It felt sore when I got home, time to exercise man.) I wasn't even going to bother to go shopping another day if I couldn't get my dress on that day, so I was just planning to go to prom in a gunny sack. We walked from Wheelock to Isetan to Tangs to Wisma to Ngee Ann, then walked back to Wheelock to replenish parking coupons, then revisited the above mentioned places 2 more times. Thank goodness I had the both of them with me. I bet if I had gone myself, I wouldn't even have gotten my dress after shopping for a month. My aunt sure had a penchant of knowing where to get all the good stuff in Orchard. |
