Hmm, had about 3 days of rest? I find that I revert back to slacking very easily and I don't want to get out of it. Unfortunately though, tomorrow shall be a jolt of reality and I shall get back to constant mugging again. (Have started on bio though) First day I stayed at home, considering I had one more day off than geog people, I cleared my room, packed my exam papers and such, and slept off my sleep debt that day. Felt very weird to sleep the afternoon away and wake up at dinner time, and then sleeping again at night, like some sort of time lapse occurred and you lost track of what happened before that.

Anyway next day I was a guai little girl, I followed my grandma to the market to help her carry stuff, then came back and baked muffins! My first batch sort of overflowed, but never mind, the next one was adorable. *prods adorable blueberry muffins* Of course by this time there are only two left, which should be gone by tomorrow afternoon le. Baking is stress relieving! Of course it's also quite fun when you watch the liquidy mass rise to become cute little muffins. Okay, I'm slightly obsessed with my muffins but it's okay, they aren't going to be around for long anyhow.

Went shopping/movie watching with alice on thursday, watched Dodgeball. It's quite stereotypical and it banks on a lot of preconceptions etc. But it's still slapstick laughter and quite funny, albeit violent and cringeworthy at times, but okay lahz. Then we went shoe shopping for a while, before alice, discovering my yet unintiated pretzel self, tried to find me a pretzel shop (but failed) and in the end led me to realise I needed to buy birthday presents! (How all of this links in my head, I don't know, but I bought yx's, ps's that day.) Then I came back home and was tired because I walked and walked and walked, but I was comforted by my Maroon5 cd, which I absolutely love right now and don't feel like lending to anyone.

Friday was supposed to be my most planned day, 1130 Jurong Point, 1400 Yew Tee 1600(?) Badminton 1800(?) BBQ. Walked around JP trying to find Sab's present, which we eventually did, (yellow and cat related) and bought jh's present as well. Realised that I always end up getting bullied by yingying (despite not being the youngest of the four) and stepped on by her HARD(!) sandals. According to yingying, I should be xi guan by now, more likely it's ren ming le =P. Anyway, met sab at the MRT station, and passed her her present (which was unwrapped but untagged and quite yellow and cat related). Then we went to 711 to get a drink where I got fascinated with the drinks machine (deprived yes I know) but it was quite cute and stuff. Bought BBQ stuff there too, and we went back to xiwen's condo waiting for the time for her badminton court booking. However, tian bu zuo mei... It rained and we couldn't play badminton, so we ended up playing taiti and other card games at xiwen's house, resulting in lots of silly situations and things that can only happen when 4 sec 4 dizi people sit at a small square wooden table, with a deck of Sailor Moon poker cards and box of vegetable crisps. <-Chaos ensued and one person got high (*cough*XIWEN!!!*cough*) There was also the mystery of the mysterious bouncing ping pong ball which for no apparent reason, escaped from the cupboard and dropped onto the floor, bouncing of course. Quite rubbishy, and I certainly miss just hanging around having nothing to worry about (for the day anyway) and playing.

Of course, I got a "new" history textbook from eugene that day. "New" because it seems quite vandalised and tattered, but also because I had to throw away my other book because it got soaked in caffeinated liquid. Must thank him for sacrificing his rest, combatting his sickness to deliver the book, and of course for braving the quotehairy hairy unquote rain (mao mao yu) without an umbrella. Especially since he did not seem quite in the right/wrong(normal=wrong therefore abnormal=right?) state of mind and was adamant about taking the bus back to CCK mrt station. The knowledge that he has gotten home safe has been met with substantial relief, especially after he fell asleep at the bus stop and expressed suicidal tendencies after a certain GP paper.

After which we had the BBQ, whereby Sabrina did all the fire starting etc. She's very good at it, too good in fact that the fire became so strong it burnt the first couple of things we put on it. Anyway yingying and I were sticking stuff on sticks and after the first few, we realised we couldn't mix food on sticks, essentially because each had their own cooking time and the one at the bottom normally wouldn't get as cooked as those at the top. For the record, I was cutting out black pieces from the food so we wouldn't all get cancer and die from the black carcinogenic substances.

At night we talked and talked about a lot of stuff, basically revolving around school, because that is what our lives revolve around. (isn't it?) And it felt so serene and peaceful no one wanted to go home. I for one certainly didn't want to revert back to the school home routine so imminent tomorrow. But as all good things come to an end...

Tomorrow shall be a rather trying time, I shall have to put on what alice calls a poker face and attempt to handle/avoid/ignore emotional/annoying/qb classmates as well as emotional/annoying/qb people that sit behind us in the auditorium. Wish me good luck and hope I don't burst my stress ball. =)
