Why I think I have problems concentrating in Econs lectures:



Argh this has been an ubelievably exhausting week. I get a chance to execute my powerful leadership skills like practically everyday, every PAWS meeting as we are now planning our Investiture/JTS on 20th July and it has been getting increasingly frustrating, and when I have no PAWS I have PW, which is even more frustrating, not to mention annoying, as we are at that stage where you simply MUST go out and have interviews and surveys and can't bullshit your way through with chunks of words. Gahh. It's just One of Those Times when everything seems to pile on you one by one until you realize you've got a whole shitload of duties to be completed in the shortest imaginable times possible. PLUS I can't believe how much homework I have this weekend!

But on the brighter side I went out shopping after school like twice in 2 consecutive days (OMG) with Sok Mui. Um, we kind of bought a lot of accessories (me earrings, one ring and her, necklaces) because being in your school uniform, you can't actually try on clothes on shoes, so the only things you CAN try on are accessories and the like. Both times I was lured out by Sok Mui, away from my Maxima minima Tutorial 7.3, on Wednesday to accompany her to the dentist, on Thursday to accompany her to Sistic outlet in Tampines Mall to buy student-priced tickets.

So Wednesday right, we went to Orchard, because her dental clinic was in uber-posh PARAGON, and we reached there like half an hour early so I took out Tutorial 7.3 and started doing the 3rd question, only of course I couldn't do it and had to like copy the start of Sok Mui's solution to sort of pave the way for my understanding, when suddenly this super terrifying moan came our way:

OoohhHHH. OHHHHHH. OOOHHHHHHHHHH. *voice goes up a few notches in hysteria*

and it went on for pracitcally the whole time we were there, right till before we left, and it was like all those typical dental horror stories like she was getting chunks of her JAW ripped out. So I was sitting there, literally frozen in horror and listening to the moans coming from one of the dental rooms, each moan getting increasingly hysterical and (sounding) painful. IT WAS SO FREAKY. SHE WOULDN'T STOP WAILING. My pen was like poised in mid-air as I anticipated each moan and she didn't disappoint me, moaning for all she was worth and I thought she was undergoing some terrible wisdom tooth operation only they ran out of anasthetia or something.

Then Sok Mui got up and went in nonchalantly when it was her turn, and I sat there staring after her retreating figure and thinking, Omg brave soul, with the moans playing from around me or whatever, and expecting her to be subjected to horrible treatment. So it was like super anti-climax because in like 10mins she came our wearing her retainer (because she had purposely neglected to wear them for the past 6months and her teeth are now MOVING), and she told me her dentist said that the freaky moaning came from this apparently very little girl, who was getting her tooth pulled, and I'm like OMG, you can't be serious, because the moans were so DEEP like the owner of the voice was at least 14, and why the hell is she screaming so much when it's just her tooth being pulled? So essentially the entire incident reinforced my FEAR OF DENTISTS (look, how ominous can it get? Stereotypical screams of pain from the dentist? It DOESN'T just happen in stories, okay) and I have only been to a proper external dentist ONCE to get my tooth pulled. And ew, I probably will never ever visit one again.

Anyway I can't imagine why I'm blogging about this when I have so many other things to blog about, only I'm really way too tired to do so -.- Like how Michelle, Jessica, Sok Mui and I went singing in this ulu KTV lounge in Katong Shopping Center (with its ugly blue and yellow exterior) last Sat, and it was really cheap, $8/hour/room, but the exterior was really seedy and we all thought we were going to get kidnapped or whatever. But the lounges were very normal and satisfactory and we had damn lot of fun belting out songs together. Coincidentally we have the same tastes in chinese music so whatever song each of us wanted to sing, the rest would have heard of it before, and can all sing together. And we are quite harmonizing too :D Gosh, don't you just love singing with a partner who can so sing in tune with you? Jessica has the sort of sweet Zhang Shao Han voice and she can do all the high notes like Selena -.- Good grief.

Oh and I cabbed home from Katong after that, not knowing how to go home and my feet to painful to attempt to travel anyway (vainty reasons, ma), and it was bloody $17.20, plus surcharge, OMG OMG. I asked the taxi driver at the start how muc he estimated it would cost, and he said 12 or 14, which made me so happy you know? $17.20! Omg!

Oh this is all messed up in the chronological sense, but you know Thursday when I was with Sok Mui in Tampines Mall, I went to Times and there were all these cardboard BOXES of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows stacked up in the display window and shackled with thick black chains and I was like STARING at the boxes knowing they'll only be opened 12.01am on 21st July, thinking I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, the 7th book is actually right in front of me, after 2 whole years of waiting and it is WITHIN REACH and I can reach out and tear open the box and grab a copy of the th book! It was a lovely feeling, the excitement of anticipating a long-awaited book/movie. OOhhh I can't wait! :D:D:D

Lastly, I recently put my feet on top of my specs and crushed them out of shape, and when I tried to salvage the situation by twisting them, I succeeded in breaking one of the lenses from the frame. It is now completely beyond repair. I am sorely disappointed know, those were some of the best-looking frames I've seen in ages(and expensive as well, dammit)! But yah tomorrow I am going to Bugis to make specs because my sis insists on introducing me to that particular optician shop because they have nice specs and good service, or something. I'm wearing my old specs which are absurdly scratched and annoy my eyes, so I shall stop blogging now. =X
