INPROMPTU OUTINGS FTW.i have found my new hidden talent. :DD hahaha. so, story begins. during, and a few days before, the common tests, i think about who i'm gonna go out with to celebrate post-ct's - on thur, fri, and the weekend. realise no one asked me :((( oh wait! ky did, clique outing. yay ky. yeah but besides that, i realised i had no plans. so i thought for a while and decided, ah whateverrr. i'll probably find someone(s) to go out with along the way, or else i'll be content with staying at home and reading/blogging/WRITING/sleeping. yeah it's like, a new me, the one who's the extreme opposite of the girl who used to DIE even if she were to be stuck at home for even an hour. it's not that i was lazy to find a date, it was just, content with staying home. weeeeeird huh.
#1 - thursdayanyway. ct's came and went. on thursday after lit paper everyone totally streamed out of the hall and header for their lockers, intent on starting their little celebration parties anywhere but in school/at home. amidst the crazy crowd (hurray alliteration!) i found louis and sebby, so we discussed the lit paper and our subsequent plans all the way to "sebby's locker". then seb, kenneth, daveen, farhanah had to fly to NUS for pw interview, leaving louis and i to get our bags in his locker and "my locker" (all inverted commas are explained by our placement of bags in lockers not belonging to us xD). found out most of our class was going for other outings not with people within our class (don't get the wrong idea, our class is close, just not in the going-out way - like louis said).
so i met shah and andrea, the latter being the one whose locker was where my bag was. asked them where they were going, they found out i was "going home cause i was date-less", and let me tag along for their outing :DD
met daniel their classmate, then nata at j8. decided i wouldn't go out with them after all cause 1. they were watching a movie, which i did not wanna spend my money on, and 2. if they pooled i could not cause i didn't bring a change of clothes and 3. i had dinner plans with my mum after all.
yep so inpromptu outing no 1 didn't go so well (:
#2 - fridaythe plan(still thursday night) after newyorknewyork dinner with my mum (incredibly sinful and filling, but great all the same :), i went home with an exploding tummy, received a call from selina giving my the shocking news that i was co-leading this sunday so i had to go for prac on friday night :OOO called charmaine (cause we were in the midst of an sms convo and i think enough of you know how much i PREFER CALLS TO MSGES. BY, A LOT. thank you :) and i had to tell her about worship prac too), digressed faaaar from the main topics (being worship prac and outing the next day) as usual, until jeremy came into her room and suggested supper, to which i vehemently agreed (inpromptu outings, rmb??). anyway to cut the long story short, we (charmaine jeremy i) kept talking and talking and digressing for about 1/2 an hour before finally agreeing on supper (it was 2315 then) followed by stayover at their house then outing the next day :DDD
i had to awake my mum just to ask her for permission, whoops ://
supperso i speed-packed and dashed outta the house to the bus-stop...only to discover that the last bus was 14min before we hung up the phone. -____________-
called charmaine. had a good laugh. jeremy jumped at the chance to drive his parents' car for the 1st time? or at least, w/o his dad's supervision. haha HE WISHED. but that also meant, his mum drove both of them aallll the way to lot1 to pick me up :OO talk about God's love. thank you charmaine's mummy!
i had a nice, though not slow, walk to lot 1 cutting through a housing estate i've never cut through in my life. hoho.
and my phone bat was dyingg.
it felt so terribly awesome (and wrong) to be out at 2345, not on my way
home, but on my way
away from home :)
supper-ed at al azar, had a good talk and walk with jammy and charmainee, which included how lovely night air is, especially after 2am (with very scientific and factual explanations from the knowledgeable and experienced jammy), interesting bio lessons on can't-remember-what, again conducted by the knowledgeable and experienced jammy, and laughing our heads off at those who were having school the next day :P
stayoverwalked back, watched tv for a while, bathed, watched PS I LOVE YOU :))) but jammy "fell asleep" after one super-sweet part :( so it was just charmaine and i watching all the way till the end, before crashing on the couches at 430. at which time i took almost 45min before falling asleep to othello quotes running through my head...
did i mention their living room couches are INSANELY comfortable? so soft and sleepable. hahaha. except that we took a while to figure out our positions.
next morningkept waking up through the night for some reason, before managing to catch some good sleep. yet in the morning again it happened from 730 to 930 (this time it was my very uncooperative bladder) so i woke up for real.
watched tv and jammy's Tactics to Getting a Piggish Sister Out of Bed, much to my amusement (and slight horror, hahaha), left for town.
lunch and moviecharmaine and i took turns meeting school-mates EVERYWHERE in town - from carl's jr, plazasing, to cathay, to taka. very convenient for typical school-stereotyping conversations, which were pretty fun though :)
watched zohan which was
SICK TO THE BONE. it had its humorous bits i admit, but definitely not a show i'd even want to discuss. so, off that topic. couldn't say no to a guy who was emo-ing and leaving for maldives that night with no one sending him off! *sheepish smile*
post-movie (alone!)charmaine left to meet her friends for some birthday dinner, jammy met his mum and went to the air-port, i went to borders for therapeutic solitary browsing/sitting/thinking :)) i miss borders outings with nata. hi nata-who-doesn't-read-my-blog, haha.
worship pracmet charmaine again to go for worship prac. both of us were exhausted by then, so we slept all the way to church and almost wished we could just stay over in the WOW hall till sat.
spending time with WOW people always makes me so terrifically happy :) and worship prac was a nice closure for the day.
thank youu charmainee and jammy!! <333#3 - saturday4/5 clique outing!! ro kaiyan joy.
Borders Coffee Bean:large Belgian chocolate ice blended!! for sweet-toothed people yay :) camwhoring already began here. hahaha.
Borders:amused ourselves a little with Little Miss and Dr Seuss. then we went over to read funny/retarded/interesting books at the Gift Ideas section, where we found "The Book of Answers" which was, hilarious. you know, the kind where you ask a question and then you flip to any page in the book and there you have it, the answer to the question you've always been dying to find out the answer for!! xD
Ro: Will I get on the dean's list for any subject?
The Book of Answers: Be practical.
Kaiyan: Do I want a boyfriend?
The Book of Answers: It's not worth your money.
Ro: Will joy get here on time?
The Book of Answers: Mishaps can always happen.
SMS to joy: joy dear, please be careful on your way here alright? don't trip don't fall don't get lost don't...
xD
IkeaIkea revamped! renovated (and renovating) and changed its layout so much that none of us could recognise it and find our way around, hahaha. lucky thing we were only there for meatballs and random brisk walking around to help ky find presents for e lynn and yanru's bdays. at the restaurant, joy demonstrated her loser-powers shamelessly to us...
Joy: Eh omg!! I can cheryl through the cup!
Me: Maybe it's called a glass for a reason...
Joy: Eh, cheryl's in the middle of the cup!
Ky: Maybe cause you put the cup in the middle of her!
had fun sitting at a high table having dinner and talking, afterwhich we plopped our oversized selves on kiddy beds in the showrooms and camwhored our way through showroom after showroom.
i spent ALL my money today on food alone. including the iceblended. heh.
<3 you guys!! it was awesomeee hanging out with all of you after not having the chance to since, forever. thank you :)) and vinnayip you are joining us the next time i beseech you!
and that was my account of inpromptu outings for the short post-CT period. :DD i don't believe hermits exist. nah, i just find it impossible to perceive myself being/turning into one, ever.
i swear, my blog posts are getting so, maybe too, much longer...
and it's church again tomorrow! (today, tecnically). i have a good life :)
