Wake me up when September ends ,
Sunday, September 29, 2013 | 11:04 PM
Because the entire week after promos deserve a post of its own ! The party started on 20th September . *punch fist in the air because i can* And it shall last till 30th September because ... this is my life . :P Anyways on 20th September , I went with 5F'13 to IKEA . I realize now that in all the classes that ive been in , we dont always have a concrete plan until we reach the place itself (and for 4J'12 , it's even better , we only decide when it's the day itself or when we just meet up and are like: "so...where to?") So we had class lunch at IKEA , and like what i've mentioned in my previous post , i've been enjoying de company of my JC people more and more . P: Speaking of which .... Okays let me digress from 20th September (Friday) to 25th September (Wednesday)
A few fateful days before 25th September , Huimin asked me if I wanna go out and shop for clothes with her . And yours truly of course welcome any invitation to let down her hair . (and im really honored to be asked because i think if one wants to shop for clothes , they have to find someone who they are extremely comfortable with) So on that day , i went to school in de morning although it's still an off day for me , cause she still have a last paper to go and it'd be easier for us to just travel from school together (and i also went to school to pass some teachers some things) . Although there was nothing preplanned , we bused off to Orchard straight from school with YunYu .
It was my first time starting a shopping trip at a book store . Hahahha and it rekindled my love for books really . I think i'm gonna save up and invest on books already because my stupidity ishh way below the normal wavelength . :'( So .... Im gonna bring my mother back to that place soon and beg her to help me purchase the books that i've set my eyes on . (i know i said that i will save up for it but i figured it will take ages and by then the books will already be off the shelves and we do not want that happening do we now?) my budget for one shirt ishh 5 bucks , dress ishh 12 bucks , but for book ... i'm willing to pay up to 30 bucks or so . Im telling you its worth it . Anyways i think we spent a good two hours at the book store although we only went because Huimin wanted to get one book hahahha . I blame the power of digression and the attraction of books !
After that we went to different stores to look at clothes (tired YunYu is tired and left us while we were at H&M) but in de end we did not buy a single piece of clothing and went home with accessories and stationary instead . LOL i propose next time we just sit in front of the com and blogshop for a good 4 hours instead ! Confirm more productive and save travelling fare and the time contemplating whether we should pay $20 for a top at H&M when we can get the same piece on TaoBao at maybe $5 only ?! Or maybe even $3 at the flea in *Scape on de weekends . LOL . Anyways , speaking of things i did with Huimin , i also went to her house and we started on building a maze for her 2 hamsters using cardboard and tape with Divya on Thursday (26th Sept) . Hahahha
Because it's so much cheaper this way rather than going to buy a maze . And it's more fun too . Hahahha !! It's like having a childhood agains , do you feel me ?! And have i mentioned how happy i am to find two other friends who live so near me ?! T.T (FYI these are tears of joy) I think it's a very lucky thing to have friends living near you because you cans easily drop by to chill . Moreover , since Divya and Huimin live in the same condo which is 10 mins away from me ... i cans go to their house to swim anytime (... need to lose weight first though....) I've only been to Huimin's house though ... I have yet to crash Divya's house . Hahahaha . Yours truly ishh so jealous of Huimin who has the loveliest family ever . Really truly madly deeply .
I would also love to have siblings who will camwhore and fight over little , nonsensical things with me . I have a younger brother who has recently begin worrying about our parent's relationship and debts and all the burdens that a 13-year-old shouldn't be weighed down by . I would also love to have parents who will bring me overseas every year , who walk into the room and upon seeing videos of me , tease me about how i look instead of nagging about how i should act , what kind of photos i should take and how i am not loving myself because of how i portray myself . I would also love to have grandparents who sit together and read newspaper at the balcony in the evening and despite years and years of being together , still have tons to talk about . Because this is the best love story and an ideal example of how true love does exist and we should not give up on love . I would also love to have pets , to be able to hold the cutest creature in my hands and feel the warmth from them . But most of all , I would love to look forward to going home and rest my tired self at the end of a long day , instead of having to worry about what family drama will happen tonight and whether my parents will take out their frustrations on me today .
So , moving on and back to talking about 20th September (Friday) where i started my celebrations for the end of promos . I went for a class lunch at Ikea and then i went home to prepare to go for my brother's school concert . Haven't went to watch him perform in the longest time ever due to various reasons in the past which my goldfish memory deprives me from remembering . (and since he practice at home, i've countless of "free performance" by him already right? He perform solo for me at home some more LOL hahahha) Anyways , this was also my cousin's last performance in his NUS High Orchestra career so I feel obliged (okays i am just exaggerating) in supporting de concert because I have yet to see him perform too . Sadly

Forgive me for being too lazy to filter this photo . LOL . Anyways , at first i wanted to go with Amy de but she pangseh me last minute then i asked Alicia along but she wasnt feeling well so i made her go home . In de end , i spent the time with my mum and my cousins' family instead . Okays here goes the story . Chee Guan used to be from RVHS but he transferred to NUS High in his third year and his younger brother , Chee Seng also attend NUS High and ishh in his last year . My brother diligently (and i say this proudly) followed in their footstep . I was never mathematically or scientifically inclined so there is not a place for me there :P ... Yeap im fine about it . :P Anyways , as seen from the photo , the males in our family ishh generally much taller than the females . BOO you hormones BOOOOO !
I had a great night at the concert because it was truly a different experience . And mainly because Chee Guan ishh such a funny person to talk to and since he's a senior senior in the school , (for him having graduated years ago and still surprisingly knowing quite a few students in the school ... pedo juniors only this senior senior. hahahha KIDDING) i feel quite safe and not as lost when im tagging alongside him (somehow) . From the experience , i also learnt to appreciate the RV performing arts culture and talent more . ... OMG I JUST SOUND LIKE IM DOING SOME REFLECTION/FEEDBACK FORM BECAUSE OF THAT SENTENCE . Erm .. To sum up , the night was notably enjoyable and i think Orchestra is the best performing arts NUS High has to provide . ... Yes i am bias because my brother and my cousin both comes from Orchestra and i myself ishh a band player . :P Oh did i mention how cool their conductor was ? ... Oh i never ? Okays , i must say , their conductor was cool ! :P
Saturday and Sunday (21st and 22nd Sept) i got to meet "friend" , needless to say , it makes me feel like i'm a very blessed girl . Selfish me ishh selfish and ishh not gonna share the love and wonderful memories me and him had . :p But yours truly cans share with yall the eventful experience i had with Christalle on the following Monday when we decided to have a dress-up date in town (with no preplanned destination ... which means that we end up walking a lot ... i think that day i burnt a lot of calories and i still feel slimmer since then hahahha!) Oh and the photo which i started this post with , ishh a photo that we took on that day (23rd Sept) . Le photo of a tissue paper (which we drew on) in "Tom's Palette Ice Cream" by the way . "Cool" or what ? (PUN INTENDED)
I planned to meet her at about 9am at her bus stop and i ended up going to her place to pick her up because she has yet to wake up . I realize i know how to go to people's house but yours truly can never remember what floor do they live on . So intelligent me went to her block but got to the wrong floor and pressed the wrong bell . Imagine how flustered I was when an uncle I've never met before opened the door and asked me what I want . LOL Tried 3 other floors before i got to the her floor and shouted for her to get up . LOL . I realized something that day . "Good friends will be calling you (to hurry over) on your phone when you are late but best friends will be calling you (to come out right now) on your door step when you are late"
After the eventful morning , we bused to town and upon reaching , we couldn't figure out where to go ! :( LOL Somehow we wandered around here and there before settling down in Manhattan Fish Market in Suntec City . Btw i put wandering around too mildly because we actually walked A LOT . I think we clocked at least 12km ? That's 30 rounds around the track for ya . LOL . Yes we are walking monsters MUHAHAHHAHA . After Manhattan i think we went to city plaza which actually was kind of a disappointment ... But i got a new and chio and pretty cheap phone case there , so that made the trip to the ulu place at Paya Lebar 1.5% more worth it i guess ? P: Then we bused back to town and went for ice cream at Tom's Palette which was truly the highlight of the day . Hahahaha . Now that i think about it , we like some losers sia ... Hahahha . Ended the day by walking around the pretty places in town to camwhore and take polaroid and feed my eyes some candies because my eyes have been so deprived recently .
Okays actually we weren't really walking around and enjoying the scenery but we were trying to figure out how to be able to bus home . In the end we trained home thanks to the road blockages due to the F1 closing ceremony . Yes tyvm F1 , tyvm ! Nonetheless , as always , i enjoyed the time spent with Rio because she always make me feel so comfortable in my own skin . Secondly , I know that if I had been with other girls , they would be complaining about the endless roads I make them walk for getting lost in town but Rio was there for me throughout (PHYSICLALY) and even if she might have been getting tired and annoyed , she looked and sounded and felt like she didn't mind so i'm more than grateful for that . I guess ... That's what friends are for :') It might have been the dumbest thing ever but it still felt great because you have each others' company . ^^ Omg my cheesy hormones are overworking agains . Hahahahha .
