Prom dress mood

The J2s have finished/are finishing A level soon. Then there'll be prom that makes a J1 like me wonder what I should wear next year.

Something like this?

Laura Bennett's Spring 2007 collection

I want a shorter version. Okay, maybe less beading on the top. 

Or this.

Jolibe Fall 2008

But umm, would it be expensive to tailor something similar?

Holidays thus far

Has been more productive than last year's.

I lazed around all day doing things like practicing piano (Scarlet done. Woohoo!), going to Orchard (once), sleeping, NOT eating more than usual, reading Onion news, and so on.

Also, learned to appreciate the comfort that HCIBS provides more than ever, with basketball court and greeneries. Open spaces and more open spaces. Once we move to NJCBS there'd be no more of this. No more playing cards. No more talking crap downstairs, during breakfast, lunch and dinner.

As it has dawned on us, future could be worse. Imagine this.

DISCLAIMER: This is entirely fictional. It is totally not a true description of the new hostel in any way.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner in army style, with teachers dining together with students, with seating according to houses, with a dining hall so small all houses cannot even eat at the same time.

No Blue Tea or any other form of convenience store. So in times of starvation, of sucky hostel food (occasionally, hopefully), of getting back to hostel late, of a million zillion other reasons that an imaginative 3 year hostel dweller could ever think of, one should just bear with it. 

No music room. So maybe some will have to resort to the piano with spoilt pedal at the canteen. Why not just cease to practice altogether?

No gym, for the same reason.

No lift for a 6 storey building. I can then get Gold for NAPFA in my final year.

No laundry service or laundry room. Then we have to wash our own clothes. And hang them dry.

Better yet. Access to water is only available at groundfloor because water pressure isn't high enough. Prepare your buckets and climb staircases to get water.

Or like, public bathrooms like the kind they have in Japan. OMG yucks

Bunk beds! Without mattress! Singapore's weather is hot, it might be the most brilliant and economical idea ever. Since there's no air-con anyway.

No open spaces for emo kids.

Okay now this is getting stupidly comical.

Don't blame me for letting my imagination run wild. Blame Ms. Weird Shiny for brainstorming all this together with me.

Your mommy has probably taught you to always stay optimistic even through hardest times, so this thought kicks in, "Without any distraction (or comfort for that matter), I can finally MUG!".

What is optimistic and comforting about that? Beat me!

PW, overnighting, hotcakes, and first kiss drama

*inhales*

OMG PROJECT WORK IS FREAKING OVER!!! *confetti in the air*

I didn't have a chance to celebrate, having to head straight for overnight ob session at NP.

Which, to my surprise (not!), turned into a night taiti session.

But I, as usual, am of course glad that I went.

And morning marks the (n-1)th time I have hotcakes for breakfast (n: number of times having breakfast at macs).

It's not pretty. I know =.=

I headed straight for bed as soon as I reached hostel. Slept all the way from 1130am to 930pm. And now I'm sleepy still.

Now watching First Kiss episode 4, with the brother who gives me the same feeling I had last time while reading Don Quixote. Unpleasant and irritated. Like, COME ON!

Having Hiraoka Yuta there is such a relief.

And oh, I constantly wonder whether urban Japan has such nice dark sky and effective light pollution control. Whenever the emo person looks up, he/she will face this dark sky filled with stars which are probably as faint as 4th magnitude.

First Kiss, however, bothers to put up the correct night sky.

It's Scorpius! And stars at 3.78 magnitude! 

Cannot be right? ._.

Nitpicky as usual...

Life thus far

has been utterfly uneventful.

1. End of year percentile was out. Mine goes like this:

I see a parabolic trajectory, and I could only be glad that I didn't have a 6th subject. 

Oh wait, don't tell me PW follows this graph too.

2. I couldn't go for Ubin camp ): Sky was cloudy for the whole week, and then it magically cleared when weekend comes. Somebody hates me ): God knows what fantastic sky they had in Ubin, but I know no matter how superb mine is in mainland Singapore, without a scope (or even binocs) I'm rendered useless.

3. Sleepover at Pam's house for PW. No Internet for 26 hours straight. Group really got much done in the absence of temptations and distractions. Loved the swimming pool. Loved the jacuzzi. Loved the playground. Loved the food, of course! I maintain my view that the most essential electronic item in a household is a fridge stuffed with food. 

And by the pool at 3 in the morning, beloved Winter constellations were back high at zenith. Which reminds me that I missed Ubin camp, and that sucked ): Seeing them glimmering in the middle of urbanised Singapore is nice though.

4. Caught up with Gossip girl episode 8.

It's making me very emo now ): And the soundtrack (Dark on fire - Turin Brakes) for that scene is kind of dark and disturbing O_o

Really. Just look at the video clip.

But then, the music is nice =D

Did I just make a brainless post?
