Okay going around in circles there. Funny. Anyway, how was your week? Mine was rather lazily spent, as though time for me, was in huge abundance and like I had ample amounts of everything and anything to spend( time, food, money, friendship, family, what have you) and I realize that this week of holidays has been rather uneventful and relatively unfruitful. Quite sad, but the unfruitful trash can is where most of my holidays end up in. im sure its the same for most people. Is it?
Oh well. Shall switch to my auntie alter ego (in case you dont I have multiple personalities haha.) went to giant at that huge kind of deserted but nice and quiet turf city yesterday with my family minus my elder sis.
The place reminds me of some old deserted shopping centre that the government is trying desperately to restore back to its former glory, which was never existent. Haha. Okay.
And also, speaking of turf haha it also reminds me mildly of heng because of the astro turf on his head haha. Bloody rafflesian. But a good guy la, haha you zhi must be damn sad hes no longer with us. Well.
What about my auntie alter ego? Oh yes, I was damn happy to see the huge yellow tag which read, ON OFFER stuck to the place under which the chewy grandola bars were placed inside giant supermart. Man, was I happy. Like, sixty cents cheaper! Haha(okay, let me make a big deal out of it)
I would be even more happy if I could buy it at cold storage at 65 cents cheaper, but the offer is no longer on haha. Sad. I should have stocked up like, 10 boxes of something haha. Okay, hmm ten boxes of chewy bars on my desk? Not exacting a very pleasing sight.
Enough said. Im back to my normal self. Sometimes I feel kinda sick of myself, buying something only cos its on offer or what, but I guess I do that cos these small cents really do matter and the stuff that I choose to buy only when they are on offer are like, luxury items, to me at least. Unlimited wants, finite needs? Chapter one, the central problem of economics. Haha. Which reminds me, I havent started revising chemistry yet. Not even chapter one. Better start soon.
I like the turf city cos its so quiet there and the situation there is pretty much very peaceful and not squeezy and stuff. And the people there are like lazy, slow, laid back and stuff. Kinda reminds me of those not so popular shopping centres in Malaysia? You know. Hmmm.
Walked into a cd shop and to my huge surprise, I saw anson hu yan bins new album on the rack. Oh man, I was like, how come I totally missed it out!!!! Cannot beeee haha.
And the horror. Haha. I guess he musta have released it in mainland so there wasnt much advertising done in Taiwan and hong kong and other places. Hes a shanghai singer, in case you dont know, and im a pretty big fan of his music.
Didnt buy the album, dont know why. There was just this nagging thought at the back of my head telling me not to. Even though I had enough money to buy it, for once.
Luxury item? Do away with it. I wouldnt want to add on to the problem of scarcity haha.
Anyway, on a more somber economics note, that place, turf city, is pretty much lots of small stores from different industries with very little market power each. Pretty much a pc market minus the basic assumptions of homogenous products and perfect knowledge. There is freedom of entry and exit, so many empty stalls up for rent haha. (perfect competition. If u dont understand what im saying you better go revise your econs chapter five and six especially haha.)
Thinking back. Before yesterday, on Saturday, went to marine parade library(one of my dad s mad but extremely brilliant ideas again) managed to borrow a nice book. I nearly cried near the end, it was so sad. Haha the story was mainly about a girl and a guy and eating steamboat haw haw. Food is my greatest one love.
Then we went to eat ice kacang(ya ya ya ya hahaha) and walked around the shopping centre a while.
Back to my auntie self. Heh, U2 had some renovation sale, so all the stuff there was going at five bucks. Man, this kind of sale is the type you wait one whole year for and then it never really comes. Haha. Lucky lucky. But didnt buy a lot of stuff la, shopping for clothes is not really me, even if the clothes are darn cheap.
[part two] stop reading form here onwards if you seriously lack patience and don’t want to listen to the rantings of a person who is on her way to going mad. Lolx.
Scattered thoughts here and there.
Hmm dee dum. The theme for the rest of my nonsense will be graduation night.
How was your graduation night? Is it coming, or has it passed? Your secondary school or your jc prom?
Proms gives me some feeling of gowns, tuxedos, good food, classy places blah blah.
But that’s not really im thinking about. I guess now that the year twos are leaving so soon, this would be more close to their hearts. Kinda of sad to see them go. Oh well
I remember fan told me that no matter what, she swears that she will wear high heels to our grad night. And I was like, HUH, okay. Yeah, good, whats the big deal? And she scoffed, you think its so easy for me to find a guy who can stand next to me even when im not in heels and not look short? Especially when it comes to nj guys.
And I was like, hmm, quite true, fan is like, 171cm tall? And the nj guys are erm. Haha. Okay. Can always ask you zhi if there is no better choice. Haha he may not look very handsome but the height advantage will always be there, fan. Haha. Thomas is not a bad choice too, considering heightwise ONLY haha but hes taken lolx.
Funny thoughts about grad night
I remember during my sec four sept holidays I was talking to qiu han on the phone and she was telling me about her tuition friend complaining to her about grad night. And I was like, huh, what to complain. And she was like, my fren is from catholic high(miao miao high! Haha wonder hows weilings brother.hmmm) and his school tried to ask st nicks if they wanted to hold their grad night together since they are bro sis school. And of course, they were turned down quite flatly haha.
I was like, huh, okay, but whats the big deal about not having girls around?
And I realized its quite sad for guys who come from all boys school cos you can imagine how pathetic they look in their tux in the hotel ballroom without girls in gowns next to them. I mean, a room full of girls in gowns is fine, but a roomful of guys in tux? Lolx.
And if girls dance with each other, it ll just seem like they re having fun. If GUYS dance with each other haw haw haw. Lolx. Poor guys.
On my grad night, haha and darells and weilings and qiu hans and hui chiangs and qiu pings there was like this humongous bunch of beauties inside the school hall.
Oh yeap, it was held in the school hall. Haha. Like so many people were utterly disappointed, but we didnt expect much anyway, since there wasnt supposed to BE a grad night in the first place and we only got it by filling up numerous suggestion forms and slotting them into the suggestion box. I still remember miss leongs face when she said, so many suggestions for a graduation night haha. Hmm I remember I suggested a graffiti wall haha so the graduating batches of cedarians could spray some graffiti or sign their names on it for rememberance. NOT APPORVED,quite obviously haha.
Lots of people spent huge amounts of money and time to make sure they looked glamorous, or at least as glamorous as each other. I, clearly, was not one of them. dont get me wrong, I have nothing against these people. In fact, they look really good. Like what they say, people need clothes, Buddha needs a coating of gold(say in Chinese)
And its great they had such a good time. But I felt somehow that they werent dressing up to have a good time but rather to outdo each other. In terms of makeup, hair, looks, whatever. Oh well.
And there were some people who were evidently trying to attract attention. I guess its pretty sad for tem because even if they did manage to succeed, it would be the attention of girls, cos evidently cedar is an all girls school and I guess its pretty sad there were no girls there.
I guess the jc prom will be a different bal game all together. I can imagine it, the lamour, the food(haha) the money, blah blah. Not really my thing. Well, who knows, I may just pass it for some cup noodles and a movie vcd at home. Dont get me wrong, I like to dress up too, look pretty and stuff. But its just not the same for me. I guess grad night is something that marks the end of your school years, and it has more special meaning than just dressing up in nice clothes, doing your hair and nails, and wearing makeup so you can look pretty. Its more of the occasion. I wouldnt even mind if I had to wear my uniform, because it would probably be the last time I wear it.
Thats what I think, for now. Who knows, maybe in the not so long future of next year, I might be swept up in this mad tide of buying gowns, doing my hair and nails, and putting on makeup to look all nice and pretty.
For s very short time in my life, I had always imagined that my grad night would be the night that I dressed up nicely, in a pretty and extremely ladylike manner, and shocked all the people who treated me as a guy for so long, especially ant who always treats me like a guy and teases me. Frmph. Quite fun actually, being treated like a guy. but I just want to prove that I can be pretty and proper if I want to. Im quite good looking actually you know. Haha just that I dont say it doesnt mean I don’t know it. And I can be ladylike and gentle and girlish if I like, thank you.
But im not. A nice thought. But I d rather be myself. Really me. Comfort over looks and ease over please. Lolx.i may just pass the whole thing for a lazy night at home. Who knows, who knows.
Sandals over heels anyday. I still am me, havent changed much.
And I wonder how the pre u sem people are doing. Jeremy and alex having prelims now. Good luck.haha. and I saw ashton chio bu the other day, hmm actually quite some time ago. Then the next day, I saw this guy who was a splitting image of her. I swear it musta been her brother. She said she has a brother who has her moms british look but her dads Chinese eyes. I must have been right, should have asked him haha. But so weird. Lolx.
I must have been like damn weird to him cos I was like staring at him the whole while lolx. Haha. Must remember to ask her next time. And I didnt know she stays further down across the road. Haha.
Long entry. Go rest your eyes after reading. Huge eye sore. Which reminds me, I havent started drawing the nj choir girl yet. Darn. She must be perfect.haw haw. And I hope the guys(guys and girls la lolx) in class like the class tee I designed. I cant wait for it to be printed haw haw. Cool man.
And damn it, its ck s fault, im becoming more and more colour coded, now when I look at stuff I always search for the greens first. Wont go for anything else. Damn. So much for deep down inside, secretly, black being my favourite colour huh. Frmph.
Enjoy whatevers left of your pathetic holiday. Or spent the rest of it trying to finish your unfinished homework, like me, haha.
