;8:14 PM
as the title suggests, i am at yi-min's house now and she is talking to renee.
eww. yi-min just burped very
loudly and
disgustingly! haha.
ELEANOR! where are you? she was supposed to be here half an hour ago. gosh! and she is the girl which says that she knows what to do...lalalalalala. ohmygosh! i just called her home and her maid said that eleanor had only left the house
ten minutes ago! AACCKK!
so what happened yesterday, you ask? well, i had my physics summative and i think that maybe,
just maybe, i can actually pass it! i suppose that the summative was not as difficult as i thought i would be(:
oh yes, and to all my anxious supporters, i have found my handphone already!
yaay!thank you to chew lin for paying for the "bail" of my phone to get out of "jail"(the general office!) first because i did not have my wallet. yeah. i had to pay $2 to get my phone back. bleahh.
allow me to tell you a piece of shocking news, dear raffles' girls... the following quotation is from en.wikipedia.com
"...starting 2007, all students are required to wear shoes which are 100% white, regarding the inclusion of the overseas scholars, who are suffering from unnecessary peer pressure over the other students' branded and coloured shoes. Prefects are required to wear school socks."NOOOO!!!! i have spent a total of $60 on converse shoes and i cannot wear them next year if the article is true! that is because the converse shoes have this dark bluish stripe on the shoe! aaarrrggghhh! i am so dead.
of course, i agree with the unnecessary peer pressure thing, but i don't exactly think that they should be very concerned over this as i do not really think that many people feel that way. do you know what i think rgs should be thinking about?
prices of canteen food!bleah... ELEANOR! we have been here for shit knows how long and you, darling, are not here yet. and you wanted us to reach yi-min's house by 8! bleahx! oh well, HURRY(((:
i think i'll surf the net some.
until then,
ta ta!

today was an interesting day.
i totally screwed up my geography test, i lost my phone, but i have discovered its whereabouts again!
here's how i lost my handphone:
i was walking back from the canteen with jiun, my pinafore in a pile in my arms and my white phone pouch on top of it. an hour later, after speech and drama, i realised that it was gone.here's how i have discovered the whereabouts of my handphone(:
chew lin told me that her sister had found a handphone which she thought belonged to one of chew lin's classmates (shrugs as to how she knew). i called her just now to enquire from her sister as to how the phone looked like.
chew lin told me: oh, the phone is with my sister's friend's friend.
haha! that was so cute. anyways, earlier in the day i had already sent an sms to my phone telling the person to call m mom's phone when she sees it. and she did! what a darling(:
turns out, a prefect called ruiling was given the phone by another pupil who had found it. so, i told her to leave it at the general office tomorrow morning.
yaay!so that was a happy ending to my originally sad sad story.
i am dead.
physics tomorrow and i have been mugging for 4 hours so far, excluding time to watch lost x) i just had to watch it. i was going C-R-A-Z-Y!
i think i am going to continue studying. just felt like posting since i haven't done so in a few thousand eons(:
