Today, Yesterday, the Day Before That, and the Day Before That.
Today I'm finally getting rid of that enormous pile of high school textbooks (and notes) that has been clogging up my (extremely small) room for the past.. 6 years or so. For you see, my dad's friends always seem to have kids that are in need of such nerdy things and of course, I am always super-obliging and more than happy to lend a hand in the kid getting a 99+ UAI.
I felt so deprived; handing over that massive stack to my dad, a part of me squealed "But Nam! You spent forever writing those notes!" and my hands were reluctant to let go. And then another part of me interjected "Hang on, you did pretty poorly in that exam, didn't you? So who cares." Then I smiled and slammed them down (they were heavy), wondering whether or not it was normal to argue with myself.
I did keep my bio and ancient history notes. However, I don't see how ancient history could possibly come in handy for OT. Maybe I just have a soft spot for good ol' ancient history. *Nam strokes her folder of ancient history stuff lovingly*
Moving on.
Yesterday, I went to IKEA with my brother and my dad. My Goodness, that place.. is like.. MY HAVEN. WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW WONDERFUL IT IS. Yes, I have been there before, but it's still the cat's pyjamas. (Yeah apparently that's old school slang for something remarkable. I shall use it from now on because it's like so the cat's pyjamas)
BythewayIloveBananasinPyjamas.
I bought a new bin for my room, a pretty jar (which will soon contain colourful candies) and a plush rat. Why? Because large, grey rodents are oh so cool. Duh.
The last few days, all spare time (ie. every waking hour) has been devoted to reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Shut up. I bought it on Friday, as well as a cardigan-ish thing that makes me look like a man. Manly cardigans are almost as cool as large, grey rodents, you know.
Deborah is cool too. Thursday was her birthday. The youngin' finally turned 18. Let us all go out and celebrate this momentous occasion by getting drunk. Psh, get lost.
Anyway, we met up with Deb after workums and went to Wagamama (over-priced, under-heated Japanese goodness). The people working there are very nice (even if they do have bad handwriting and don't close the circles they draw). All was good, except our laziness resulted in a melted cake (sorry, Deb). Then.. we just wandered around.. and also released our pent up silliness in one of Capitol's many photobooths (the one that Lisa, with her photobooth expertise, deemed worthy of our use). Because everybody knows that being ridiculous is funner when it costs 12 dollars and is available in sticker form.
"Look at our cool drawn-on party hats. We're so the cat's pyjamas."
And by the by, I have no idea whether or not I am using the cat's pyjamas thing in the right context.

I sure sure do hope that you don't upload the videos from Deb's thing onto the blog...
Meh. I'm just bored. You should just give all those notes away, and when the super nerdy kid get a UAI of 99, then demand money or something because you were "directly responsible for your son's/daughter's success and excellence in their HSC and require a reasonable reward/compensation/bribe".
A bit late on Harry Potter though, eh?
i had much pleasure in ripping up my notes and throwing my notes out. so much fun!
