Sunday, April 17
these few days have been rather odd. they say we learn something from each and every day. i try to, but sometimes it's easier to wait for each sunset and hope the next sunrise will bring a better day.
friday - forced to support the hwachong water polo team. let's say that sports never interested me. anyhow, when mari and i saw the ac team praying, we said ahh ac's gonna win, God's on their side. thought ac was too cocky, but maybe it's cos they lost horribly to hc the first time 'round. was msging 3 ppl while walking out of smu, when i turned around and realised
she was there. then i started smiling like crazy.. and candy was like 'wah lao who're you msging man.. smile until like that!' but the thing is, i wasn't smiling because of the msgs. it was cos of - her. anyway they overtook us, because we were moving at the usual a11 speed, ie slow enough to watch the snails race by, as aman said once. sighh. alas, woe is me, alack! screw it all. anyhow, met jean and she joined us for dinner at black canyon. yummy tom yum. hee.
sat - had chinese tuition in the morning. she helped me with my chinese essay, so boo to su min and marian, whom i know will have hell trying to rush out the essay a few months from now when mr ngoi starts chasing them for hwk. har har. slap me. met alisa. i learnt some very interesting things that i never knew before. honestly. i. am. so.
blur. i had
no idea at all! honestly! needless to say, my eyes nearly popped out of their sockets upon hearing some news. hehhh. oh, and this is the part that i'm going to state here so all the ex-pls with whom i have bets can take note and pay up as previously agreed. remember the bet where the first one of us to reject a guy [why guy? why not girl? we can't always say, can we?] gets a treat from the rest? well, i recieved a call in the afternoon. pretty hilarious. here's what happened:
guy: hey is that mello? this is -----
me: hello? hello? what? [didn't know why the hell the bugger was calling]
guy: erh. do you want to go out? [i thought he meant the class was having an outing or reunion or whatever]
me: when?
guy: now. [and then i thought the class was already out! and meeting without me! and i was just about to get offended and huffy!]
me: oh. no. i've got something on tonight. [anne of green gables]
guy: just kidding.
and then he hung up!! and i was so angry! like hello how can you hang up on me?? and didn't even explain himself! hmmphh! and then i told jean and jan when i met them for anne. and they couldn't stop laughing. i think they nearly keeled over and rolled down the escalator. but they think it counts as rejection, so yeah, ex-pls, show me the moneyyy. i mean i rejected his offer to go out, heaven knows for what reason, but it doesn't matter, it's literally rejection. i don't mind a pizza or marche treat. ;) as for my new classmates, don't bother asking who the bugger is.
anne of green gables. heavens! the girls were so dressed up, i thought i'd walked into a hotel staging a prom by mistake. styled hair [ none as nice as peiyi's used to be], makeup and fancy clothes galore! hehh. saw some girls putting on makeup in the toilet. they looked like perfect imitations of clowns, with two pink circles on their cheeks. jean said, 'did you see the makeup box in the toilet??'. i said, 'did you see the makeup box on their faces??'. it was that bad, yes. the musical was fine. jenani, however you spell her name, sings very well. but then we already knew that. she acts very well too. the pe teacher who played matthew can act. heh. marilla couldn't sing. josie could act and sing. gilbert was okay, i didn't like the way he showed his affection for anne so openly. diana was okay. yeah. didn't really run into anyone. i don't know if i'm relieved or disappointed.
today - crossed the road in a very odd manner. the traffic light was red. i started walking across. and i was like hmm this doesn't seem right. then halfway across, i realised something of utmost importance. you're supposed to cross the road when the
green man is showing, not red. ah, what great enlightenment! i hurried back across, looking like a fool. sigh. how sanity tends to leave us, along with common sense. i don't know what i was thinking of. and there was no one remotely good looking across the road, before anyone ventures to ask. heh. then we celebrated my new maid's birthday. we got her a cake and present. and i bought her chocolates. she's only 22, so we just call her mary. when we brought out the cake and started singing happy birthday she started to cry. makes me wonder how many things i take for granted. maybe that's why i stayed downstairs to play the piano instead of holing myself up straightaway. as i am doing now. music blaring. watching the second hand of the clock move slowly across its face. knowing my homework waits to be done. there are some things more important than studies. i feel its truth at night, but in the morning when i face the wrath of my teachers, my courage flees.
reality's a death sentence. black black heart..
it must've been love.
