Summer's almost gone

birthday bash #1, in detail

2008-05-31 3:02 p.m.

i am surprised that me, dionne and yuzhu actually made it through yesterday, alive!

because of someone's midnight rendezvousing with someone else, hem hem, me because i only slept at 3am and woke up at 5, and dionne because she was at xen until the wee hours of the night (could have died of happiness).

and of course we all (save dionne) had to do some mighty quick talking to save our asses from our merciless parents.

yes i have finally caught up on lost sleep and am no longer cranky. plus there is too much gossip to exchange! what with all the scandalous affairs of yesterday (mostly on abovementioned someone's part).

yes you must be dying for me to elaborate. i shall keep you in suspense.

....

ok now i'd start elaborating, lest you burst of impatience.

sooo where to begin?

well. yesterday i woke up at the obscenely early time of 7 because i had lectures in school at 8 (3 lectures back to back, in fact. and this is supposedly our school holiday), survived through econs, scraped through chem because it was so easy but died-ed in bio.

my resolve finally cracked and i fell asleep.

but oh well there's nothing about bio you cant glean from the notes (except for the hormone-finger length thing which someone so delightfully informed me of yesterday night).

you must be wondering, WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT? WHAT SCANDALOUS AFFAIRS?! THIS IS SO BORING!

its all part of my evil plan to keep you in suspense.

let me continue.

after that i met BUFFA at orchard road!

(a little digression. kim and kat apparently were puzzling over dionne's heritage because she looked chinese but had such an exotic surname. they just could not figure out how it happened.)

she, incidentally, got me to help her get ppl on the the streets to do some survey thing for her pw. but that's really too boring to elaborate on, even with evil plan in mind.

then we went over to FAR EAST to look for a costume for the madonna aspect of our justin timberlake-madonna impersonation. something that took forever to do.

they dont sell leather and whips there.

when we finally found something suitable in black AND white (for madonna 1 and 2) we made our way over to XEN to practice for the mock-performance we were doing.

yadeedah, yadeedah, nothing interesting except for some squabbling over sugar cane.

and then the free basic class started.

there seemed to be 3 times the number of ppl there as compared to xen at chinatown.

but then it was, afterall, a FREE class.

the people there ranged from the young to the very old, the bizarre to the bizarre-er, and those with 2 left feet to those with 2 right feet.

dionne and i spent the time putting makeup on till we were getai-worthy and sufficiently uncomfortable. then we socialed - a big, bad idea - till we were tired, cranky, and in no way hyped up.

the cranky part came from when my chin slammed down on dionne's head during a certain move.

till now my teeth feel as if they are rattling in my gums.

but that aside.

the performance itself was...ok, i think?

i have yet to see hide or hair of the video!

(not that a video has a hide or hair but whatever.)

i realized justin timberlake 1 was quite a failure because someone said something about jay chou loookalike afterwards.

what are we supposed to do, get stubble?

but i think madonna 2 ROCKED! ha so there, dionne.

anyway even after this loong, loong entry i have yet to get to the point about the scandalous affairs.

well here it is!

whilst dionne and i were busy socialing our esteemed friend was sitting by the side, mingling.

the group of mingling people dwindled down to 1.

and they soon moved to the cushy red sofa side.

to.....

.....

talk.

yes i know, so anticlimactic right.

but there's more!

the guy in question was from AC.

and so was his friend.

AND his friend's friend.

and none of them knew the others were from ac.

until they saw me, wearing the ac orientation shirt.

(i stick to my old statement. i dont like ac but i like their shirts.)

it began as 'hey, are you from ac?' directed at me.

it gradually became 'oh YOU'RE from ac?' no longer directed at me.

'and YOU are from ac too!'

'him as well?!'

oh, such a touching reunion.

the rest of my time was spent debating with the ac groupies the reasons i didnt like ac when they all loved it.

but really, this whole ac thing is a digression.

the REAL scandal here is when the same esteemed friend of ours left with someone ELSE (not the ac groupie) till the wee hours of the morning.

i know this because i received an sms just when i thought the hours were way too wee for anyone to be smsing, which informed me of the fact that i hadnt actually switched my phone to silent mode.

so at 3am my sms ring sounded in a room where 4 ppl were sleeping, informing me of an elaborate lie i was supposed to regurgitate if said esteemed friend's mom called me to verify her story.

i can only hope i was the only one who woke up.

but wait! where was i??

yes what a rhetorial question.

i was staying over at huilun and wimp's house with dora and incidentally we only went to sleep at 2+ because my hair was drying.

oh so random.

but how about the waking at 5am thing?

because weiling had tuition at NINE am we had to go to the beach waay early to catch the sunrise.

so at the ungodly hour of 6+ when decent folk were still sleeping we made our way to east coast park.

but on the bright side, i got some amazing pictures.

the beach at 6.30am.
