The BTN prac exam was postponed to Monday, and as I was planning to read the notes on the way to school, I'm glad I didn't actually study before then. Haha! Collected my new spectacles too, they're 3 toned - purple, dark blue, and clear. Sounds weird, but they're pretty cool! The uncle kept on saying I had "nu ren wei", and that I ought to get those instead of the metal rimmed ones I had my eye on. (Okay, that was very lame q:) So I did, and I only paid like half the amount I would have had to pay, outside NP. Didn't know we could get such substantial discounts till recently either, what a waste! I'm just glad we can come back as alumni's and they're still available to us, heh. Anyhows, they're the rectangular kind that working women wear, and man, people keep saying I look more mature. Damn, I hope they mean intellectual, too! *grin*
Oh wells. Met June after that, the poor girl's having a really rough time with her boyfriend. He's being such a jerk, taking everything about her for granted! Gah. Finally got to check out the new Zara after our bitchfest, heh, it's so much bigger than the Taka one! Tried on tons of stuff but nothing was available in my size, and I couldn't really be bothered to ask the salesgirl. Ended up getting a top from Mango (again) and some purple striped spag from Far East. I just checked, and I've got more than 10 tops that I've yet to wear. Mostly because of uhhh, some problems. Haha. But I also bought new lingerie, so things should be okay now! Just hoping my mummy will refund me for those essential purchases cos otherwise, I'd be completely and hopelessly broke!
I realise I managed to write at length on my recent acquisitions. Horrors, I hope I'm not becoming overly bimbotic! But hey, come to think of it, I need new jeans too. q:

It was an... Interesting day. Made several nice discoveries after the not-so-inital awkwardness and uncertainty. I shan't elaborate any further, don't want to sully the sweet memories with words lah. (: And yes, if you close your eyes and simply succumb, body, heart and soul, things won't be what you thought they would be. I'm bursting to share the events of the day with someone, but I can't think of anyone! Anyone appropriate, that is. q:

I've been frightfully busy again. Had Phototaking yesterday, and the whole event had such a ring of finality to it. I mean, seriously. All of us wearing white tops and black pants/ skirts, looking much like waiters. Heh. Kane looked very good in his shirt! Most guys do look good in shirts; it gives them an air of worldliness and well, maturity, I think. (I also digress.) Lining up according to height, I knew I should have worn heels because every other girl was, and I had to stand near the middle instead of further back! Stepping precariously on chairs and tables. Smiling till my cheeks ached. Eyes partially blinded by the multiple flashes from cameras. Being pulled by people here and there, likewise cajoling others to join in group photographs. Taking random, candid snap shots of people doing silly things. I've taken over three hundred photos in the past two weeks! And I noticed that not a single guy, save Samuel, put their arm around me. When they would have normally done so (like in previous photos). Even Jack doesn't drape his arm around my shoulder anymore! Neither did Faizal, Anuar, Li Xing, even. When I told Kane, he smiled and said it was because they knew I was off limits. *grin* Nice to know they "respect" him that much, heh.
Anyways, didn't get much studying done for the BTN test this morning. I hadn't even finished reading through the notes before the test started, such was the extent of my preparation! Suffice to say, it was rather horrible, I already got 3 questions wrong. 35% gone, just like that. Aye. Being very slack these couple of weeks, I guess I'm simply too tired to be very bothered... I think I'm coming down with something, feeling slightly feverish and achy all over. I'm also rather snappy, a lot more irritable than I usually am. I do try to control my temper (and usually succeed, to a certain extent), but sometimes, things just completely piss me off. Argh. I've had it with her and her attention-seeking ways! Especially when she sucks up to guys and lecturers *growl* Moreover, I was aching and my head was throbbing like crazy, so that didn't make me feel any more charitable. And the stupid woman at the library was such a petty grouch. Bleh.
But Kane's such a darling, I'm so thankful he understands my temprement and doesn't think any worse of me, especially during one of my nastier moods. He's so sweetly accepting, and well, the love he gives is about as close to unconditional as I think I'll ever recieve. Not that it's not reciprocated, I would never do anything to hurt him. Okay, enough of mush already, I'll go wake my dear boy up so he can draw my name on my labcoat. He's curled up on the couch, peacefully sleeping like the innocent child he is. (:

Graduation photo-taking is tomorrow, I can't wear my white long sleeved collared Mango top because my sister left it in her school, and there's no way she can get it back by tomorrow morning without causing a big fuss. Argh. Argh. Think my Esprit turtleneck will have to suffice, though it doesn't quite fit properly across the shoulders. Argh. Don't like wearing stuff that doesn't hang properly, I look really weird! Anyways, Kane came over and we plodded through the BTN questions together. Took me nearly two hours to do it because I didn't know where the answers were found, and had to flip through the notes back and forth like crazy. We left to meet Lianne and Daemon after that, did a spot of (very unintentional) shopping. I got a very nice black satin spag top from Miss Selfridge! It's so pretty! (: Headed down to Bras Basah Complex, where Kane got a few more tubes of fabric paint, and Lianne got Pass-It-On cards for people. And the both of us managed to buy this set of fabric paints as a "thank you" present (for drawing all the labcoats), I distracted him and she sneaked off to pay for it. *grin* A couple of other people are also sharing it, so... Yay.
It's lovely to give things to people you care about. (: And I can't quite believe it's only been a week since we "officially" got together, it seems like a much longer time!

Met Wei Lan for dinner at Chomp Chomps after the test, which, in passing, was as bad as I thought it'd be. Flipped through the question paper and was like, shit shit shit. Couldn't, wouldn't succumb to my native instincts to run away, so I gritted my teeth (against the chilly cold) and tried to come up with stuff that I thought made sense. I even thought I remembered reading them in the notes. Alas and alack, turns out I was crapping, without even realising that what I wrote was rubbish! Sigh. I really hope I can pass! It was great to see her again though, she's about the best friend I've got left from PL-days. And I've come to realise that back then, we weren't as close as we are now. Things we went through in secondary school just weren't enough to truly develop and "add to our maturity", so to speak. I mean, things mainly remained at the superficial level, at clothes, our crushes, school work, food. It's so different now, it's really so heartwarming to see the changes in her, in me, in the both of our lives. (: Alright, I'm sleeping early tonight, crashing after I indulge for a bit in the luridly pink romance novel I borrowed from the library. Haha.
From Kane, channeling the Bard: "I love thee, I love but thee, with a love that shall not die till the sun grows old, and the stars grow old." *melts into a very gooey puddle*

Ack, ack, ack. I'm so freaking dead for LSSS. I only just finished reading through (a dismally half-hearted attempt, at that!) the notes. The test's at 4pm, Kane's coming back from school in a while to study with me. If we actually get much studying done, that is. Sigh. I just need to pass the the test to get an A overall, thanks to the 20% attendance marks they're allocating etc, my CA grade is about 65/70. But judging from how much I've actually remembered, I think there's quite a high chance I'll end up failing! But I'm so tired of studying. ):

Oh gosh, it's already midway into April, and it's the year 2003! It's very hard to comprehend how time passes, without so much as a by-your-leave... I really ought to be reading my LSSS notes but I don't have the mood (nor the inclination) to. Am suddenly feeling bereft and well, saddened, by the sudden realisation of the number of friends lost as the years zipped by. Other people have moved into my life, taking over their places without me really noticing; so subtle were the changes. But oh wells. It's a bit too late now, isn't it?
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end...
