A great weekend and a mess of an exam
I'm not in the best of moods tonight :( Okay, maybe not as bad as I'm making it out to be but I think I'm just sad. I think I took the worst paper of my uni life this afternoon. It is, strangely, my fave module of the sem and I did the most prep for it but I found myself controlling my tears in the exam hall. What the hell just happened in there? I don't know. In my defence though, some questions were a little ambiguous. So yeah, I didn't manage to finish writing my 9 marks essay question and I eeny meeny miney mo-ed a couple of MCQs.
KC accompanied me to Thomson Plaza after the paper for cheesefries and I did some impulse buys at Popular. Paper. I bought pieces of coloured paper, tracing paper (the thick better quality one. haha.), the old school origami paper and a super pretty shiny origami paper. All for $3! hahaha. I had my reasons for getting them alright. ...Anyway, while I was paying up, Hsin Rui dropped me a really sweet message on whatsapp and I appreciate that gesture so much :)
Alright, stupid paper aside, I had a good weekend with Josh :)
Studied a few hours on Friday afternoon and I met him in the evening for a little shopping. We hopped from Uniqlo to Topshop/Topman at Ion and then to the one at Knightsbridge and back to Ion. We were initially heading to H&M buuut we also had a tiny unfortunate event outside Mandarin Gallery, which forced us to make a detour to the nearest toilet and there and then, he decided on the aztec pullover from Topman. Haha. Signs. hahahah.
:) on a really random note, I noticed the Christmas decos along Orchard Rd are halfway up! :D Can't wait for the best season of the year.
Hahah and because we had an hour plus to kill before heading to Filter, I decided to get some BK. Hershey sundae pie to be specific :D got a meal and I got a tiny ice cream too! HEHE. It was so good omg. So good that Josh wanted to buy me 22 HSP for my 22nd birthday next year. Hahahahaha. You'll have to help me eat! Share the fats. hahah. (He said Jam and Gen could help btw. hahaha.)
So we headed to Filter, waited outside for a while and we ended up playing with a ginger cat by the river. freeeeaking adorable.
Kenny and BG suited up and Sammy was Katy Perry that night with her neon blue wig. hahaha. Got upstairs, those cute Filter styrofoam tubes thingy with coloured lightbulbs were everywhere, Josh pointed out that the DJ looked a bit like one of his close friends, Kenny was stoning half the time, BG was pouring some alcohol randomly into our mouths, Kenny & Josh got us some Jaggerbomb and I was just happy being around them :) ...my body started rejecting alcohol after a while and gosh, the red spots/patches were terrible. Don't tell me whiskey isn't the only alcohol I have an allergic reaction to? :(
We headed off pretty early 'round 2ish, got home, got distracted by the lighted tube I took home from Filter and crashed :D
And then came Saturday... Slept in, missed a workshop in church, catechism class and met my lazy worm again!
We had dinner at the coffeeshop opposite church, talked about our day, and we headed off to Upper Thomson for ice cream with his sister and her boyfriend. It was a Saturday, half of town's probably celebrating Halloween somewhere but spending time like that, in the heartlands, sweet and simple was just as wonderful.
It was really funny watching the siblings. The brother dishing out secrets about the sister to her boyfriend and shooting her down with all his witty comebacks. I swear I couldn't stop laughing and Josh always never fails to share how lousy my Mandarin is. Hahaha. Especially the stupid 'qian bian' prank. But like I said, sweet and simple and fun.
Josh & I caught Looper at J8 after that :) Looper's surprisingly good. haha. Anyways, he walked me home, talked a little bit about our schedules the coming week and I know it's only Monday, but I'm already looking forward to the weekends and seeing him.
Midweek post (Cause I have no better name for this. hahaha.)
During most nights, I'd be sitting at the dining table typing this or watching HIMYM or wasting time on the net. Buuut, I'm at the balcony now because my house is under a second round of renovations and the dining hall is currently a fire hazard. *TOUCH WOOD* and my poor piano is squashed there too.
I took my first paper of my last sem this morning and getting stuck in a jam for almost an hour wasn't my idea of how taking an exam should be :/ and eventually I was just 7 minutes late. Phew. haha. I hope I'll pass LFC, even if it's just 50 on the dot. I didn't do very well in my essay. So xxxfingers.
Just 3 more papers...
Okay, just gonna add photos. haha. Because I'm lazy to type.

The day we went to school at 12pm for lecture when it was actually at 3.30pm. (KC not pictured.) So three of us hit town to kill time. Hahaha such geniuses.

Study dates at NYP!
Caught eating tau huey in the library. Orhor. hahaha.
I found this really funny. hahaha. Daddy on the stool helping mummy with her school work.
And mummy just sent me this REALLY REALLY RANDOMLY. I don't even know how to reply. HAHAHAHA. omg. I love their silly antics.
Alrightyroo, it's time for bed! Study a bit of MR tomorrow and hopefully, just hopefully, I'll be able to see my lazy worm when he books out in the afternoon/evening? :D
P.S. I just tried wishing upon a star because the night sky is unusually clear tonight. Pretty. Now let's see if it comes true. Can I wish on another star to make sure? Hahaha.
Thoughts of the day
It's an extremely chilly Saturday evening and I'm sitting on my bed whatsapping Josh, Jamie & Joanne and desperately persuading Jo to have teh cino with me. Hahahaha. But I got called a weirdo for that. You're the weirdo la, woman.
My day started out wonderful. Met Josh in the morning for breakfast and then studied a chapter at his place while he tidied his 'time capsule' (Lee, 2012) room. hahaha. He hopped on 88, a peck on the lips and he started playing Bejeweled on my phone. Tskkk. Such determination to see him at 10.40AM, I couldn't wake up on time for the past 3 days to study at NYP but I jumped outta bed at 9.30AM today :D
So we had breakfast at AMK, nasi lemak for me and kuay tiow for him :) Hopped over to AMK Hub to get his game and I found out Cinderella/II/III are out on DVD! :D ...We took the bus back to his place, got lunch for his mum & sis and we saw a huge fluffy black cat in a pet store otw to his place. Mega cute.
So between memorising slides, I took peeks at him clearing his stuff and it was actually entertaining watching him discover the things he never knew he had in his cupboards and drawers. hahaha. I saw his drawing which won him the 3rd Prize in K2, his P6 class photo, a Mustard Seed newsletter from 2002 (saw some comments from then 15 year old churchies. hahaha.), a rubber seed, and the most interesting thing was his tiny box of... baby teeth. HEY, I KEPT ALL MY BABY TEETH TOO OKAY. Don't judge :P
Was supposed to meet him just now but our plans changed so I'm meeting him tomorrow morning for a horror movie and brunch :) Can't wait for that.
Hope you're having fun at lan now :)

I've been studying in NYP's library for the past few days and so far, it has been good. Good company, good environment, good food and slightly good progress in my studying. (Y)(Y) I wish, though, time would slow down. I'm not ready to graduate. One and a half years is really way too short for a uni course. But suck it up, Ariel. Now aim to work in Walt Disney. And do something about the terrible shows on Disney Channel in these recent years.

And for the 9 and 13 Oct babies
HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY ALLY WALLY :) You're the closest person I have to a sister and even though we don't communicate very often now that you're in Melb, you know I'm always here for you, regardless, and some of my fondest memories were with you when we were little. Like the toilet bowl and veggie memories. Hehe. Can't wait for you to get back and you can take over the job of reminding uncle Gerald to stop smoking! :D Love you, cuz. Nail those exams.
Happy Birthday, Tilly! Hurry up, find a girlfriend and get married! Your 6 year plan sounds good.
Happy Belated Birthday, KC! You too, hurry plan your Lana Del Rey (y'know what I mean), get married and invite me. hahaha. oh man, I sound like those typical aunties. Haha, re-read the card we made for you over and over! Hsin's such an artist. haha.
