next wed: my grandfather's birthday and my accounting test.i'm pretty nervous, on how i'll do on the world's most useless subject, next to chemistry.
i have so many group assignments to do, it's sad. i yearn for individual assignments actually and i got one for communication skills. i have to write an expository essay on either of these topics;
-a perfect world
-the culling of stray cats
-the meaning of success
-a healthy lifestyle
-taxation and it's effect on the society
YAWN.
so after school i went to meet ain for a late lunch/early dinner thing. i haven't seen that bitch/slut/asshole/shithead for almost 3 weeks so just now was a reunion, albeit a short one. being with ain allows me to be myself. we insult each other like nobody's business and we know we don't really mean it [do we? hah!]. it's called being comfortable with each other. nurul is also somebody i'm really comfortable with. maybe because they know me quite well.
talking bout that, i hate the way people assume things about me then strut around thinking they've got me figured out. well guess what suckers, you don't.
i shouldn't have time to read books that are not my text. but i do.

i desperatey need a job, only because i desperately need money.went to town after school just now. we went window shopping and the fact that i can't afford most of the things i see saddens me.
then went to have dinner at a korean restaurant. bah! it tastes so un-korean like. i don't even know what i was expecting, really.
damn it i'm rambling.
i have econs homework.

so.the day i decide to skip my first ever lecture, is the day the lecturer decides to mark attendance. how fucked up was that? but anyhow, i couldn't care less. i did go for my accounting tutorial, however. because i stayed up till after midnight to do the crappy homework, which is the equivalent to a miracle.
then me, azeana and ashila went to tampines mall for a bit of window shopping. and i saw this dorothy perkins top[$36] that i just have to buy. i am running out of tops to wear to school. i couldn't be bothered with the bottom part of me though. jeans goes with everything and anything. so there.
i thought of wearing a skirt to school tomorrow but my legs are covered in red spots, otherwise known as mosquito bites gone deadly wrong. if you see those on my legs, you'll prob go 'wtf?' cos it's red. damn those mosquitos from outer space.
and i give up. i really do. thus i'll be cutting my hair on sunday. nothing fancy, i'm keeping my current 'do but i'll just be cutting the back straight. blame the fucking heat.
kurt cobain once said[or rather, sang] 'i miss the comfort of being sane'.

BOO.fyi the whole KL thing was a hoax. for nurul's sake. she reads my blog so i need her to think i wasn't gonna be around for her birthday. what she didn't know was that her mom, boyfriend and me had been planning for her surprise bday party for a bit. actually, more of her boyfriend and mom, while my job was only to ask her friends along. what a major diappointment. a lot couldn't make it. but it was okay. where there is food, there is fun. her party was held at bbq pit at pasir ris park. blah blah blah i'm sleepy shall update more later.

i leave for KL at 6 plus tomorrow morning. the horror of waking up that early! i'm doomed. if the word 'shopping' doesn't exist, i would probably not go at all.so school's a bore, what else is new? despite the fact that i should probably be revising accounting or some other boring shit, i chose to borrow books from orchard library yesterday.
i went alone after school cos i was dying for text that doesn't involve numbers. so i went, got some books, settled myself at the cafe and ordered fries. then came the shocker. the waitress came to my table and placed this huge bucket of fries in front of me.
me:i think i ordered small
waitress: yeah, this is the standard price
me:but i'm alone and this is too much
waitress*giggles and walks away*
if she only knew i wasn't kidding. so i ate only 1/4 of it [yes, contrary to popular belief, i don't eat like a pig just cos i'm fat.] borrowed 3 books then left the place.
we had to do an expository essay in class just now. my group chose to do 'advantages of being a man in the 20th century' or smt to that point, only because one of our members brought a magazine which had an article about it.
did you know that in China, 50689 babies are abandoned each month? and 97% are female?
ok i totally made that one up.hahahahaa. pardon my twisted sense of humor.

soma coma [10:33:00 PM] went to Baybeats yesterday. free shows are great, especially if they're not in a stuffy dark room. the bands were good. me and nurul moved from the arena to the chillout stage countless times thus the only bands whose full sets we managed to catch were ecrus garage, bleached and 59 minutes. bleached sounded so much like nirvana and the drummer even bore a slight resemblance to kurt cobain. heck, even their band name is a nirvana song rip-off. but they were good. me and nurul managed to catch tiny bits of the other bands but all were good. good. good is a word that is widely overused, don't you think?
i thought of going to baybeats today but decided against it. just because. i'm in a sore mood for some reason.
my uncle gave me a bag he found at his workplace. an old, leather adidas sling bag. so i'm pretty happy now. hah!
this morning i watched a q&a seesion between tony blair and many many reporters [cos of the suicide of david kelly] because i'm a nerd. then a bold reporter asked this question and i almost jumped out of my sofa.

i am happy.i bought a black skirt with white polka dots for ten bucks after school just now. even my mother loves it. speaking of school, my communication skills teacher is a maniac. she's nice and all, but she is a maniac.
me and azeana went to fill out the forms to work part-time for pizza hut a while ago. the woman said we'll most probably be selected cos they really need people. but if there's a 6-month contract or anything like that, i'm out. i just need the cash for 3 months or so, so a contract would just be a thorn in my side.
baybeats start tomorrow. i hope it was as good as last years.

had many breaks today for some reason. my accounting tutor is so cute. he has by far the funniest smile ever and it never fails to crack us up. and he has a pseudo american accent which would normally piss me off but his didn't. or maybe i was too caught making fun of his mouth to be bothered. and he said 'i might be in a meeting' and my friend heard 'i might be mating' and the image was stuck in my head for quite some time. gross.APEL [some moral values bullshit] is useless. i fell asleep halfway. thank god it ended early. but i still had to stay back to do a group project, which was a newspaper report on [are you ready for this] Cinderella. luckily my classmate did it but his was too sappy [he's in love so i guess that's an excuse] so we cut a few paragraphs and did a bit of touching up. then i left school tired, but not beaten.
i was 'beaten' half an hour later, following that nurul shop for a top. we went mango and she found a nice top and i found a nice top and we bought it both. of course she paid for mine cos she's a darling [hah!] who is also my very own walking bank!
tomorrow is a short day. and i want to watch terminator. but nobody seems to want to watch it. come on people, arnold-whatever-his-name-is is one heck of a cool guy and you all know it! in other words, please watch the show with me.

today tutorials started. note to self: bring a jacket cos the rooms are cold as fuck.accountings suck. i felt so small and dumb during the lecture just now. the moment it started getting complicated, i switched off my tuning abilities. why bother, i thought to myself. i take everything for granted.
the questions and 'what-should-have-been[s]' are back in my head. make them stop.
and then there was computing. i had to do a powerpoint slide. chicken shit. and i learnt that my web project was on 'Temasek Poly Business School'. don't you dare say i'm complaining to much, what, with this kind of torture.
i hate the fact that every morning i have to quickly decide what to wear. i don't think i care anymore. i'm gonna dress like a fucking poor hippie if i have to, but i really couldn't care less.
i lied.

econs isn't as boring as i thought it would be. accounting is way worse. i bought my accounting text and it weighs more than my small cousin. i haven't bought my computing and econs text and i think both will cost around 80 bucks altogether. this is minus my APEL and organisational behaviour texts. i think in all my semester[mind you] texts will cost around $120. the cost aside, let's focus more on their fucking weight. nurul and i might share a locker, if it's cheap. if not, i guess i should invest in a super huge bag.after school i was supposed to meet ain at 2 but we ended up meeting at nearly 3. watched dumb and dumberer which was a total waste of my 6.50. really. it was a movie i could certainly do without. damn it. we went home via NEL[but of course, dah-ling] but took it from harbour front[so we would have seats] instead. but goddamnit i had to give up my seat at dhobby ghaut [some pregnant lady]. hai.

my first 2 days in poly was not too bad. still dealing on waking up before noon though. and i need caffeine to stay awake. yawning 89742189 times during lecture is tiring.the people there are okay. there are the minahs, who wear way too much make-up and their coloured contacts, the nerds, who can't seem to stop participating in class, and the hotties, especially the aussie guy[hah]. but they're okay i guess.
class ended super early just now so i went to have lunch with an old friend who lives in bedok, which is near my school. couldn't agree on what to eat so we went to city hall to eat komala's, his treat. i like komala's, esp the big puffy things. yummy. then i went home cos i was darn sleepy.

then we walked around town a bit and sat down at bk to talk a bit. took the train from dhobby ghaut and this woman was like picking her man's pimples. in front of the everybody who was waiting for the bloody train. then she very indiscreetly wiped her fingers on her shorts. can the word disgusting be used more times than that. gross.

i didn't update yesterday because i finished downloading far from heaven so what little time i spent online, i was watching the movie in my dark room, munching on wasabi potato chips.YESTERDAY
went out with nad yesterday. we haven't seen each other for quite some time so it was sweet and fun to see her again. she cut her hair real short, too! we went to eat at far east, and supposedly after that we were going to go to salvation army at bukit timah. changed our mind last minute cos it was cheaper just to hang around orchard. from borders to kino to plaza sing we went. took photos, and then some. reached home tired.
TODAY
today was my dreaded orientation day. the day started off confusingly cos we went to the wrong 'school' in TP. after that we got our 'matrix' card. thank god i gave a good picture. me and nurul realised that although we were in the same group, we were in different classes. at least for the next semester.
first part of the day was really boring. talks, videos, speeches, what have you. then came lunch. and then the second part of the day came and it was more fun but also way more tiring. we had mass dance, and we were given only 15 mins to memorise the steps. but we managed to do it. since we didn't sign up for any games, after that we just sat on grass, mocking people who were playing.
i thought i forgot how to make friends but thankfully, i'm quite the charmer.[hah!] people were friendly and interesting and it was such a burst of fresh air, something totally different from my days in cedar. and i'm very happy with my timetable. very, very happy.

the annoying thing is that this adult card will only be useful to me till thursday, when i get my poly ezlink card.
i want to kill someone.
