i realize i have a spending problem.
i have EXACTLY what i want to buy in mind, then i pass something interesting, buy that instead and end up not able to buy the original thing i wanted.
its weird, really.
anyway, since today was a completely uninteresting and boring day which consisted only of the typical schoolday routine (defined a few entries back) and my chinese o level listening compre exam, i shall talk about last sat, which was full to the brim for me.
because emme was staying over, i had a bad night's sleep because i had to attempt to fall asleep whilst controlling the urge to kick whatever living thing is in the way when im asleep. so when my alarm rang the next day i completely ignored it and thus had to hurry to get to the west coast cc, because my class had been assigned (yet AGAIN! stupid YEC just cant get enough of us, can they? we dont even get cip points, what's more.) to another thingy by some stupid youth group named yec.
i shouldnt have even bothered going. we spent the entire first half hour listening to a dumb talk, the other half hour talking amongst ourselves, the next half hour viewing some dumb community centre activities, and the last half hour having lunch. a complete waste of 2 hours.
then i went to jp with emme and met up with sean sheila javan and yz to watch pirates 2, which turned out to b very, very, very good.
which is a really good compliment coming from me.
i shall not elaborate and spoil the surprise for all those who havent watched it yet.
anyway, straight after the movie yz and i rushed to chinatown in record time, but still ended up late. the hip hop class had already started, so at first we decided to sit out cuz we werent sure if we could catch up. however we soon changed our minds when we saw another girl arrive even later than us and walk straight up to the class.
the class was fun, as usual, but since we missed the warm ups i ended up with tremendously sore muscles which havent eased yet.
after it ended dionne and tan min started teaching each other their own moves in front of everybody (or rather, showing off) and so we didnt go for dinner, a fact that i would regret for the rest of the night.
then the next basic class started, which was the same old stuff, except the stone was teaching and so things were run rather strangely.(like when we paused for at least 2 minutes in the middle of a spin. dots.)
then intermediate started, and as usual tan min and i sat out but were dragged back in. ppl just dont LISTEN nowadays, tsktsk.
(this is a digression. i just heard the tv say 'the sea turtle's surgery' which was just so ridiculous i had to write it down. apparently this sea turtle got attacked by a shark and now needs a FLIPPER TRANSPLANT. how ridiculous is that?)
back to what i was saying. the intermediate wasnt nearly as bad as last week's but still tough. fortunately we all pulled through with no casualties (though i did get a few of my hairs pulled out).
i knew i said i wouldnt blog about today but actually on second thought, it WAS rather interesting.
we (consisting of me, yz, tm, zhuqing, dionne and junhui) went to clementi central, took ONE HOUR to finish lunch, walked back, took the exam, and went (or rather RAN) straight back to central again.
on the way there we spotted this cat draped on a motorcycle, so yz and i stopped to take a picture whilst the rest of them (the traitors) took advantage of the situation and ran off without us. when we ran after them they (or rather just dionne) SHRIEKED and started running even faster, and we ended up looking like a bunch of little kids playing catching. it was so stupid and funny in a way.
so basically, we huffed and puffed all the way to central, again.
and thus so ends the interesting part of today.
