That reminds me, I need to watch The Leap Years and (i know stop giving me the zomg-i-thought-you-had-good-taste look -.-) ignore the newspaper ratings because baby THE RAIN SCENE BEATS THE HOLLYWOOD STUFF! Trust me, that $9 is worth it just for that gorgeous dripping wet Wong Li Lin in a wedding dress scene :D

Oh my video's done loading =D

I think I'm going to fail my math test.

Note: No exclamation marks, no question marks - MARKS! I NEED 17 out of 25 MARKS! - just this funny looking detachedness.

I was careless, unprepared, blurred-eyed (all thanks to the stupid chilli sauce in the hokkien mee) and argh. I usually do better off in tests where I hold my breath throughout (not literally). This time I took about 3 breaths. Not good.

I managed to hold my tear ducts until I ran upstairs and confronted Hester and CRIED. I am so very disappointed with myself ): And then I became totally detached from the world.

I went to a local bookstore to get my physics practice papers and found this whole display table of tons and tons of revision guides and assessment papers and TYS. The last time I checked, they sold next to nothing of pointless Geography assignments, puny math books and chinese idiom books the thickness of your thumb. No, not your thumb vertically. Your thumb HORIZONTALLY.

Then Eileen approached me while I was still dipping my toe into the fascinating realm of revision guides to everything-and-anything the GCE O levels test (the rest of my body was still continuing its sink into the dark abyss of math doom) and jabbed a finger at the Longman Additional Mathematics guide I had open.

She asked "What are you doing with this?" And I took about two seconds to look up and say "Hi!" in a happy falsetto before registering her question - wrongly - and asking her "So what are you doing here?" She replied that she came to get a green pen and I must have looked a bit startled, because she returned me a look and rephrased her initial question. I mean, why, when you are about to FAAAAAIL your math test, care about trivial things like buying a green pen? TRIVIAL! This time I attempted to answer her question using a long and loud "oooooooh" before saying "I came here to get my TYS, cos Suria wants us to get it mmm" and proceeded to turn back to the book.

Eileen jabbed her finger at it again, and said rather irritatedly "no, I mean why do you need this? You have math tuition!" Oh great. Now you have to ring another math doom bell. So I said in a very detached and flat tone "Yeah.. isn't Longman good? Yeah yeah Longman is good. So I just look at it loh."

I think she decided that my brain was twisted into a badly shaped lump of grapefruit and quickly bade goodbye.

I moved off to the cashier queue, and hugged the books. Yingying passed by in a brisk walk, I didn't notice her until she was halfway past me and she had an expression on her face that looked like a smile. So I smiled back. I say it looked like a smile because it could have a been a poor attempt at trying to hold back her spit at me, a painful cringe or maybe she was just smiling. Anyhow, I didn't have enough spare brain cells to make this decision.

Maybe people have this affinity with people, like people on the streets. I was at the foot of the hill when this tall Indian man carrying a Crumpler laptop bag (no, I'm still alive enough to notice branded bags) said "Hello there!" in a sunken tone. I turned around 180 degrees before realising that it was directed at me. So I said "Er, hi." And I thought, maybe you failed your math test too. But I clamped my books under my armpit and held my Nalgene bottle steady for defense. Hey my Nalgene is pink and formidable ok. One knock and the rapist K.O.

I swung a mallet into my kneecap (just last week!) so I think I'm actually pretty good at whacking lumps of meat.

I slammed down on the snooze button FIVE times this morning, happily thinking that they won't book us for being late on Chinese New Year's Eve. Load of tosh! I was late today! Late today! What a way to start the lunar year -.-

A hell lot of other people were late too, but they were all the picture of perfect i've-done-this-a-million-times, and oh-let's-take-our-time, look, the whole world is late! I guess you can pretty much distinguish the first-timers, by their dreadful looks and the way they flap their arms for the bus 200m away. Like me. -pouts-

I was on the bus with Min Ee and her classmate (finally!) when the sun was already nice and bright in the sky. Mr. BFF and JJ were standing beside each other and they both smiled gaily at me when I looked at them worriedly. I returned a very eh, cracked morning-face smile, but it was a very good effort okay! I was yearning to yell OMFG I AM LATE! CHARMAINE IS NEVER LATE! to the entire bus, but thanks to my powerful self-control, I managed not to -.-

So I returned them a gay smile each at school afterwards (: Dreadful, dreadful. It never pays to be late, unless you like slouching and doing the eyeball roll at student councillors while trying to accidentally misspell your name in the late book.

Anyways I found out (only when I reached the classroom) that my stupid water bottle was leaking and all the stuff in my bag was soaked ugggh. But my phone was still functioning, despite the fact that I had to wring the water out of my handphone pouch heh. The performances were boring, I slept through half of them. I only remember being awake for the CLDDS and music videos showcase.

Kay and I went back to our primary school after that! There was nothing much to see cos my chinese teacher quit (haha the one who always makes me stand because I don't do her homework) and nobody else went back! We went to Swensens' after that and ordered two huge executive lunches and one Clam Chowder to share, which was $34 too much for us to finish! We ordered the baked Mac 'N' Cheese and it smelt funny, tasted weird and I ended up having to strain all the milk out of the pasta. Gee and we wasted half the food heh!

We met Jumana and her friend, then Yingci dropped by and we laughed about Thwin Thoo, our Burmese classmate who had a crush on Kay in what, P5 hahaha! I spilled a whole cup of carbonated grape drink on myself and my bag halfway through the meal.

My year is dooooooomed!

To be wet.
