In other news, WHAT THE EFFING HELL, SO MANY DEADLINES FOR THIS WEEK AND THE NEXT—DURING CHINESE NEW YEAR AND OUR ONE-WEEK TRIMESTER BREAK, TOO—WHAT WHAT I CANNOT DEAL.

YOU NEED TO STOP DOING THIS TO ME, LIFE.

I really didn't think about it/wasn't planning to blog anything about it, but since you mentioned it...

Damn, that escalator-and-lift system at Orchard Central is super confusing! D:

(Yeah, sitting in the corner at the back of the bus is so 'secondary school'-ish. But trying to sync common songs on our MP3 players? HAHA. We're so easily amused :D)

Remember those breakwaters at East Coast Park? So a few hours ago, Y and I saw dark shadows shifting about on the side facing the sea and I thought, "Whoa, rats?! Nah, can't be. Gotta be crabs." After a few seconds Y said those looked like rats after all. HOLY CRAP RATS CLIMBING UP AND DOWN AND ALONG THE FACE OF THE BREAKWATERS FACING THE SEA. And low enough that they were skirting the area where the breakwater was wet from the waves. Maybe they can swim, too? I remember that rats are capable of swimming... UGH EWW. I was equal parts freaked out and amazed at how good they are at climbing all over the steep incline. Then we spotted cockroaches on the breakwater, too. I wonder if the other people on that same breakwater ever noticed all those critters. *SHUDDERS*

Dear mother, one main reason why I let you know is so that I don't have to lie when I'm out. So you won't flip out and go berserk when you finally find out. So I don't need to always be on my guard and be paranoid that you might spot us wherever and create a scene. But with the ridiculous amount of control you want over the few and short moments we only get to have on weekends, it's making it very difficult to break my habit of lying. Grow up and smell the 21^stcentury; don't tempt me back into hiding the truth from you.

Curfews suck. And I really couldn't feel the vibration of my mobile phone through my shorts. Accept that, and shut it. And really, taking away my phone and Internet access for the night? I HAVE SUCH IMMATURE PARENTS (and utterly uncreative ones, at that).

In other news, I finally have my red Converse jacket back. YAYNESS.

I don't understand why parents are so insistent to waive the payment for additional birthday party guests when we're unable to do so; that they think we can just let the extra kids enter without letting "management" know (yes, you think it's simple, but we don't answer to you, we answer to The Boss); why they don't want the guests' siblings to come along at an additional charge because they've exceeded the maximum number of party guests allowed; why they will think of every reason to avoid paying that extra bit of money to give the kids a good time; why they are so stingy about spending a bit more money for the kids to be happy for one afternoon; why they are so stingy about giving other people an enjoyable day; why middle-income Singaporeans like to act rich but are the most difficult people when it comes to parting with even a cent of their money.

Dear Susan, you have no idea how many times, and in how many ways, you have been murdered in my mind in that 15-20 minutes of conversation during which you tried to make my working life difficult and tried to destroy my amicable work-relationship with The Boss. I am only glad that I am not working today so I don't need to see your face and be anywhere near you while your kid's birthday party was being held. I'd probably curse you a hundred times over every time I remember how you looked like if I knew how you looked like.

Anyway, that was already two days ago (Friday evening), so I'll probably just take it as another crazy customer that I always seem to have the bad luck of handling and forget about her in a week (of constant cursing).

So. Saturday night. Thanks a lot. Now I'll never look at Green Tea the same, ever again. Hmm. But I guess now our actual persons did get more Green Tea than our thumbs did...? :D

(And I want my red Converse jacket back! D:)

And we were having a sort-of good day despite not seeing each other, too.

No!!! *Echoes*

It's the end of the second school week (I don't have classes on Friday this trimester. Yay for long weekend)! I can literally feel the stress of the coming 12 weeks of assignments and epic deadlines. Ugh, the calm before the storm doesn't feel that calm after all.

Anyway. I've been strangely psychic these days. Last week, I was just having a random thought about buying an eyeliner, and this morning I found one under the desk I was sitting at during my lecture. I thought it was Jay's because she was already sitting there, but it wasn't (even though she uses the same one). It was quite new and unused, too. Wow. Okay, well. I'm not a big fan of make-up (the only make-up I have is my lip balm. True story) and I prefer liquid eyeliner to the pencil one I found, but hey, it's free. Maybe I should try it tomorrow?

Also, I have a new song that I don't mind being on loop in my mind (as compared to 'Bad Romance', which has been looping insistently since last Saturday night, ugh) because good lyrics are hard to come by in English songs:

There now, steady, love, so few come and don't go.
Will you, won't you, be the one I'll always know?
When I'm losing my control, the city spins around.
You're the only one who knows, you slow it down.
Look After You, The Fray

I think today was my first time at the Science Centre's Omni-Theatre (watched Bears, but I still think Under the Sea would be nicer to watch on the super-huge screen. Meh. Give and take, yeah?). Feedback? The space between the rows of seats aren't wide enough for people with slightly longer legs, like yours truly (and Y). Also, seats aren't inclined. I don't want a neckrest in my seat, I want it inclined so I can better see what is shown on the upper part of the screen without straining my neck =(

Oh, well.

Didn't get to take any photos in the Science Centre itself, though. Was too busy geeking instead. And to think I've brought my camera out.

Am super tired after all that walking about while carrying my usual schoolday load in my crumpler. Ugh. I'm losing my train of thoughts. I hope this isn't going to be my blogging trend from now on. What a terrifying thought.
