sigh. so my last assignment was a disaster BUT my tutor said like 40% of the cohort got a D! i wonder how true that is but it made me feel better than at least i am in the 41%? hahaha as if that makes a lot of difference ):

i don't even want to think abt my next assignment due 31 oct! and the "24hrs" assignment given next tuesday? man ): i feel like everything is over once i finished my torts test on tuesday i didn't even feel like doing my tutorial for today's lesson! and the best thing was, the question is so hilarious i decided to laugh at it instead.

my birthday wasn't all that happy either, with the time leading up to it and the first few hours spent mugging and the next few feeling really sleepy. but but! OG6 is still so lovely and charisse's brownies were awesome (as usual) and these ppl make school <3 seriously, i'd be so sad and lonely without them. (though i still have no idea who's microsoft and what office on mac blah blah : )

dinner was nice. well, at least the ambience was. the food was not bad and i thought the desserts really looks promising, just too pricey for a poor girl like me. yiyi brought me to PS Cafe at dempsey and surprisingly, dempsey isn't that inaccessible as i thought. it feels like climbing up that hill to BTC but who am i to commend since i try to get a lift to school on most days which entails NOT having to get all sweaty from that leisurely stroll uphill. goodness i am getting sooo pampered, tooooo pampered for my own good. but anw, back to the topic, i've decided that blue cheese really isn't my thing. and that the toilet in PS Cafe is so awesome, i don't mind sleeping in it!

now here's the silly part. after dinner, yiyi and i strolled down the hill to the nearest bus stop but we didn't really know how to get home so we checked the available bus guide. after a fair amount of time spent pondering, we made a seemingly smart decision to cross over to the other side for our busses instead. btw, quite a number of bus services actually pass that highway so yes, dempsey is rather accessible by public transport. so yiyi hopped onto the first bus which came along (since most will bring you to town one way or another) while i waited at the bus stop right in front of a suspicious-looking forested land for what seems like eternity. when i finally hopped onto my bus 77 (which was supposed to bring me back to BTC so i could connect to 151, i was so happy i didn't really realise the bus was trotting on unfamiliar land. soon, i reached tanglin mall and thought "right..." cos it was obviously in the wrong direction. i texted yiyi excitedly regarding my misadventure and she revealed that she was at outram park instead! BEST. we both got on the wrong bus. in the end, she decided to take the purple line from chinatown while i got off at dhoby ghaut for the train home too. we ended up meeting in the same train carriage after minutes of departing each other at dempsey. how smart! or rather, sadly, bimbotic. i think we looked like fools when we were laughing at our phones separately while we were on the bus! seriously...

oh and then came midnight on my birthday! i happily slept at 11pm, thinking i'd wake up the next morning at 4am to continue my last-minute mugging but i was woken up at 12am by my mum. i was so sleepy i refused to get off my bed but finally relented after a full minute of mumbling. i didn't even grab my specs so when i got to the gate, i was really surprised by the magical sonia who just POUF! and popped out of nowhere in front of me with a cake and a candle. how sweet of you dear! it was kind of awkward though, having her and my mum sing me happy birthday when i was still recovering from my zombie mode and especially when my parents tried very hard to catch us hugging on camera. paparazzi fail!

and before that was mid-autumn where ppl of ALL ages get to act like kids and play with lanterns, candles and sparklers! the initial plan was to go to henderson wave with yirenegenelu but rene couldn't make it ): ): ): and then it rained ): ): ): we ended up at the vivo roof garden (or whatever coolio name it's given) just like during yi's belated birthday. but this time we had more fun! with cluedo, sparklers, lanterns, food bought from everywhere and yi's chocolate! anything is fun when cam-whoring is involved haha. turns out that everything was just to stall time for sonia and her alien's surprise invasion. i was really shocked though. ... (like this, nth to say.) THANK YOU (: it would have been awesome if it rained earlier so we would have made it up mt faber. but the many ppl playing with sparklers at vivo did make it feel more... festive-like. i love my birthdays each year better than the previous years!

well, almost (:

ahh but this is bad news! the fact that i am getting older each year isn't at all comforting. i still firmly believe eighteen is the best time of your life! you can watch M18 movies and pirate R21 ones, legally drink and stay innocent in school without worrying abt stressful uni work and all these adult-related rubbish! and i don't wanna grow out of my teen phase ):

but i guess i have no choice, do i? i just hope i can age gracefully and not be like the auntie next door who loves to haggle for 50 cents chili or sth :

and wow, this is awesome! my craving for sth to munch is gone!
