Everyone congratulate me! I've just reached/achieved/whatever a milestone in my life. For the very first time in my fifteen years on Earth, I actually spent a total of a few hours in someplace without my mother less than a yard away from me! Yayyyyy. :) Ok, I know this is SERIOUSLY late, but if you had limited (and I mean REALLY limited) time on the com, like twice a week, fifteen minutes per session, then perhaps you'd understand.
Ok, I suppose it wasn't a fully-fledged outing, cos I didn't get to the place myself. Rather, the school brought the entire Sec 3 level down to Plaza Sing to watch a "movie" (yes, our school has weird definitions of what a movie is), An Inconvenient Truth. Well, although I can't say it was the most boring, yawnable show I've ever sat through, it sure wasn't something which could exactly be the highlight of my day. The only thing I liked about this so-called movie screening was the opportunity it gave me to hang out with my dear friends :) for once. And even small things like sharing for popcorn and drinks, and for Neoprints, gave me, in Jteo's words, a "fuzzy" feeling. If anyone thinks I'm over-reacting, remember, it was my first time! :)
I think that was probably one of the funnest (no such word? ah, who cares) days of my life. Or year. I don't remember being so happy before, unless you count the immediate post-eoy euphoria.
In response to what Jnanee said on her blog about my not going gaga over anything in the cd shop, well, it's true, cos none of my obsessions had chosen to make any appearances there. But I assure everybody that should one of them had been present, my going gaga would probably be the loudest, with only Zhixin's reaction to Kaka being able to equal it. :) But I must admit I was going fairly gaga over the poster of Anakin. I can understand what Zhihua sees in him. ^_^
I think the funnest (again, this word) part of the day was at the bookstore, where Zhixin was producing sound waves of rather large amplitudes! :) Well, it was thanks to a horoscope/zodiac book, and Zhixin was happily reading out analyses of each of our love lives and characters, proclaiming at one point that she was "quiet, analytical and private". Hmm. Talk about self-contradictory. A rather alarmed Jnanee came bustling over like a mother hen (or should I say chocobo?), hissing, "I can hear you from the other end of the store!"
Zhixin: "I'm quiet ok!"
I really love horoscope books. Sometimes, it really tells it like it is! Like for instance, this book said that I like guys who are "good communicators". "Communicators" brings to mind good verbal skills, which I'm sure debaters have. And I sure appreciate people who can ask intelligent and meaningful questions. Sufficient hints, I think. :) But sometimes, those books don't tell the truth! Like when it said I was a practical person, and would not go for, you know, those, um, "meaningless" acts. You know, those lame, cheesy kinds! But that is SO not true. In fact, I love lame and cheesy stuff! I really go for it. :)
Neoprints! First time I ever took them, with my friends, that is. I did take Neoprints with my two cousins before, but oh well, not counted. We, the inexperienced Neoprinters, though, made a small mess out of it. But the two Zs claimed it was the most successful Neoprints they ever took, so I suppose it wasn't that bad. We accidentally chose the smallest size one, though, so they're all rather teeny. :( Oh well. The machine conked out, so we had unlimited time to decorate! Xiaxue had the same experience too, with the same machine at Plaza Sing. She blogged about it. She and her friend took half an hour to decorate their Neoprints! We weren't as bad. I think we must have taken about fifteen to twenty minutes.
There was this picture I really wanted to be printed out, but before we could choose it, time was up. Awww. We had written the names of our idols on it. Zhixin, predictably, wrote "Kaka". Zhihua, abandoning poor Erik, chose Anakin. Jnanee, although I thought that she would choose Tom Felton (ewww) (this is not directed at Draco, by the way, he's hot! Felton's NOT), chose Siefer Almasy (did I get the spelling right?) instead. I was kinda tempted to write DC, but Zhixin was like, "NO! I tell you, you'll DIE when you don't like him anymore!" Well, she was right. So I chose someone more long-lasting - Adrien Brody! <333! EEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Ok, ok, calm down.
Oh, one more thing! At the music store we went to, I actually saw a book with the entire Pride and Prejudice music score sheets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I want!!! But sadly, my wallet said otherwise. Yes, I know I've a lot of money (thankyouthankyou), but $30+??? No thank you. Sigh.
The two Zs (it's more convenient to call them as such) and Jnanee forced me to play Nocturne for them on the display piano (despite a sign saying "Please do not practice on the piano", but when has Zhixin ever followed rules anyway?). I'm really not used to playing while standing up, and maybe that was the cause of my making repeated mistakes. But since my playing managed to incur Zhixin's jealousy, I suppose it wasn't that bad. :) Just like how Zhixin's ParaPara dance managed to incur my jealousy, but that's another story. I'll blog about that later. :)
Hmm. I suppose that sums up the day? Oh man, I realize this is coming SUPER late. But as I said before, I can only go on the com when my mum is taking her bath, cos she won't hear of my going online at all. And that, my dears, is a really limited time.
Wonder when my next post'll come? :)
Ta-ta.
